AFFAIRS AT CHARLESTON.

Captain Whiting, Of the steamship Marion,
who left Charleston by rail, and arrived at New
Brunswick, New Jersey, last Friday night, made
the following statements to the reporter of the
New York Evening Post:
"The feeling is, he says, resistance to death,
and that any attempt to enter the harbor will be
met in the most uncompromisng manner. He
also says, in speaking of the state Of feeling in
Charleston, that the better class of people, so
far as he could learn from personal observation
and inquiry, were decidedly opposed to the pres.
ent movement on the part of those in authority,
and that all those that can leave Charleston
were doing so from fear, and hundreds would
leave if they had the means, or even situated in
other respects so that they could.
"The city, he says, is in the hands of an ex.
cited mob, which all fear. All kinds of bust.
ness is suspended, and the whole city is a scene
of the widest disorder and excitement. On his
way home through the Southern States, he said
he was astonished to find such a strong feeling
ofdisapprobaton Of South Carolina Allthrough
North Carolina and Virginia, in the cars and at
the depots, people were loud in denouncing the
precipitancy Of South Carolina"
A private letter from Florida, dated January
| 7th, says: number Of delegates from West
Florida express themselves to the effect that if
the State secede without a proper general
understanding, they will secede from the other
part of the State, and that all the Apalachicola
river region will annex themselves to Ala.

Synopsis Of the Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, July 5.

The President, in his message,
says; At the beginning Of the pres
ent Presidential term, the functions
of the Federal Government were
found to be generally suspended
within the States Of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Louisiana and Florida; the
Forts, Arsenals and Custom Houses
had been SEIZED and were held in
open hostility to the Government,
excepting only Forts Pickens, Tay-
lor and Jefferson.
Armed forces have been organ
with a hostile purpose; the
forts remaining in possession of the
Federal Governmental these States
were either besieged Or menaced
by warlike preparations, and es-
pecially Fort Sumpter was nearly
surrounded by we'll protected hos
tile batteries (; a disproportionate
share Of the Federal muskets and
rifles had somehow found their
way into these States. and had
been seized to be used against the
Government; the public revenues
mad been seized, the navy scattered,
aud many of the officers Of the ar
my and navy had resigned-an Or
dinance had been adopted in each
Of these States, declaring their sep
aration from the Union and a for.
mula for combining a Government
Of these States had been promulga-
ted, and this illegal organization,
in the character of Confederate
States, was invoking recognition
and Intervention from foreign pow
ers. Finding this condition of
things, and believing 1T to be an
imperative duty upon the execu-
tive to prevent, if possible, the con-
summation of such an attempt to
destroy the Union, a choice of
means to that end became indis-
pensab!e.
The assailants Of the Govern
ment began the conflict of arms
without a gun in sight or in ex-
pectancy to their fire. They have
forced upon the country the issue
Of immediate dissolution or blood.

for the success of our arms, being!
sent to the penitentiary to learn
how to pray, &c.n We beg very re-
specially to tell the writer that he
is guilty Of more than gross igno-
rance and triAing-he is guilty of
having written what is not true
and we hereby and herein defy him
to prove that we ever said that the
clergy should be "sent to the peni-
Tertiary to pray" You sir, who
profess to be a praying man-now
dare you to bear false witness
against your neighbor? Beware
you have placed yourself in the
grasp of-one who will make you
feelthatyou cannot trile with your
senior in years, and your equal in
learning. Quote if you can, the
sentence in which we say, that the
clergy should be "sent to the peni
tentiaryto learn how to pray. You
make us say so-but as we have
never said it, we leave you to work
yourself out of the mire into which
you have SO deeply plunged your
self.
Now, we say, that if it should be
felt that we have spoken severely,
our answer is, that we feel that we
have been shamefully, illegally, ma
liciously, ungentlemanly, and scan
dalously treated, in a so = called
Christian country, by the so-called
p~reservers Of peace and order.
Democrats of Preble County, we
have written; Judge ye what we
say" If we must be murdered, fol-
our being faithful to our conscience
and our God, we bequcath to you
the care of our household; look af.
ter them, defend them, protect
them, and God will reward you.

INDIGNATION
MEETING IN EATON

con yesterday an exceedingly
~INCENDIARY article appeared
in the Democratic Press edited
by one Ferguson, an English sub
,ject, scarcely six months in this
country, which SO eXasperatcd the
citizens generally, that early in the
evening, a large number of citizens
assembled at the Court House to
take into consideration the course
to be pursued by an outraged COM
munity toward the Editor and
Press"
Geo. D. Hendricks was appointed
President, and Z. II. Alexander
Vice President. The obnoxious
article was then read, and patriotic
addresses made by Judge Cans,
B. II. Alexander, and L. G. Abbott.
The expression Of the meeting was
taken, which was that we the
citizens will no longer allow
TREASON in our midst. 1t shall
either be made to hide its head, or
be forced out of this community.
Here Traitors cannot stay, nor
Traitorous principles be expressed.
A committee offye was appointed,
consisting of b. II. Alexander,
VIM. Curry, G. D. Hendricks, and
W. II. II. B, Minor, to prepare
resolutions to be presented to the
meeting this (Thursday) evening;
also, to wait on the Editor and re-
quest him to Withhold the papers
printed from being sent out of
town, and if he refuses to comply,
to use such other means as may
best secure this object,
Come early Union Men, and let.
us show our determination to sus-
tain the Stars and Stripes.

A Candid Review of the Sayings
and Doings Of Political
Demagogues.

OeWaYo9ues'
AS there is a time for everything
now is the time for us to draw on
enemies over the Goals which the.
themselves have kindled. Subjoinec
will be found a copy Of a hand-bil
published, and circulated, in thu
town of Eaton, Preble County
Ohio; and also a copy of Rcsolu.
tons passed at n Great Indignation
Meeting, held at the Court House.
In the said town, on the 9th o.
June, 1861.
Whether the gentlemen who
have so suddenly risen up in Eaton,
to save the town from being swal-
lowed up by cone Ferguson, an
English subject" who has been in
this country only about six months,
have persuaded themselves that
they are the wise men of the West,
and that wisdom must die with
them, is more than We can tell.
They may have been influenced Of
late by the magnificent comet that
has been passing over the country.
or by some mysterious imitation.
But, whatever may have been the
primary or moving cause, the effect
lie before US, and we are called upor
to deal with it as best we can.
We wish it to be borne in mind
by the readers of the Democratic
Press" that the Leader written ant
published by us, and circulated il
the town of Eaton, on the Goth o.
June, 1861, has been madethe cause
of attacking US in a way for which
we were not prepared. We hav'
been assailed and abused to an ex
tent which might lead a strange
to believe hat we had taken ur
the State of Ohio in our terrible
grasp, and thrown it into the
Atlantic Ocean.
AS we mean to review the pro-
ceedings of our political enemies
eeriatim, we begin with the "Great
Indignation" Bill. Well, we are
they say, an incendiary, but they do
notinform thepublic to what house.
barn, stack-yard, company, or null
titude we have set fire or what
parties we have excited to violate
law and order. But the author OF
authors ofthe "Great Indignation
Bill, if they mean anything, must
mean that we have been doing OIL
saying something that might lead
others to violate the law of the
land. Upon this Interpretation Of
their bill, we take our stand, anG
stoop to look our slanderers in the
face, and boldly tell them that We
defy them to prove in any open
court of law, where justice can be
had, unbiased by party prejudices,
the truth of their rash and unman-
ly charges. We charge them with
the sin of having spoken and
written in haste, and unadvisedly
with their lips and pen.
But we are only "one Ferguson
marvellous in the superlativc
degree. Our name is William
Ferguson, and as we prepared q
small work some years back, on
Etiquette for young gentlemen, we
might be induced to lend our MS.
to the polite gentlemen who have
discovered that We are cone Fer.
guson, an English subject"
But we have outraged thu
community" What with Ii
what way? We challenge tn
"Great Indignation bill men t.
prove that there is any truth il
their words. We are the part,
who have been outraged, inSulted
injured, and threatened with muir
der. The gentlemen Of the law
