other facilities and aids of the Federal Govern
ment have diverted that trade to the Eastern
ports"
What do the Louisiana planters think of that
"artifcial system Of protective tariffs" which
levies duties on foreign sugar to the tune of Eve
millions year for their benefit? Do they de.
sire to destroy the Union in order to get rid of
that protection!-[N. Y. Tribune.

We anticipate meetings of this sort in every

that Gov. johnson has struck the right chord to

SOUTH CAROLINA SEED,
She may see seed,

But can't ck-seed,
Must re-seed,
Or take crane seed,
Or take grape seed.

A pensive looking little girl Of or 10 years,
whose black hair and yellowish brown skin would
indicate that she was q mulat,ress, attracted
some attention on Mississippi river boat below
Memphis, the man in charge of her saying that
he had bought her in Missouri and was on the
way to the New Orleans market. The girl being
questioned, however, said she was an orphan
from New York, and that the man had colored
her in this way saying it would make her look
prettier; and such proved to be the truth. The
man jumped off at one of the wood landings and
escaped.
Five hundred cases of muskets were shipped

are probably before this time in the hands OF
those who threaten to use them against the

JKFFERsoE's THEORY OF THE PREsIDrNr's Duty
IN CASE OF SEcEssIoN.-In answer to some ques-
tons propounded to him by N. de Aeusnier, JEFF
ferson used the following striking language:
1t has been often said that the decisions of
Congress are impotent, because the Confedera-
ton provides no compulsory power. But VIXEN
two or more nations enter into campact, it isnot
usual for them to say what shall be done to
the party that Lnfringes it? Decency forbids this
and it IL unnecessary as indecent, because the
right of compusion naturally results 70 the party
injured by the breach. When any one State Of
the American Union refuses obedience to the
Confederation by which they have bound them
selves, the rest have natural right to compel
them to obedience. Congress would probably
exercise long patience before they would recur
to force; but if the case ultimately required it,
they would use that recurrence. Should this
case ever arise, they will probably coercs by a
naval force, as being more easy, less dangerous
to liberty and less likely to produce much blood
