law as the only safeguard to freedom. I,
was the party that hurled from power the
authors of the alien and sedition laws
sixty years ago, and for all that period
they guided our ship of State successfully
and gloriously through the waves of civil
commotion and the dangers of foreign
wars.
I regard the Clay Whig party and the
Douglas Democracy as genuine branches
of the old Democratic party of 1908.
When see Gen. Scott and Millard
Fillmore and Crittendeu, and Ketchum,
and Hunt, and all the old prominent
Wings of As years, ago, now united at the
polls with the Democracy, can have no
doubt that if the immortal sage of Ash
land. that purest of patriots, most elo-
quent of orators, and wisest of statesmen,
Henry Clay, were now to stand in our
midst, he too, would lend his voice in ia
vor of that party whose watchwords are
the "Constitution as it is, aud the Union,
it must and shall be preserved"
The abolition leaders had SO little idea
of the character of the contest they were
entering upon, that they proclaimed the
war would be over in sixty days. They
have all the men they asked for, and yet
the war RACES with unexampled fury at
the end Of 500 days. The result of the
last 18 months demonstrates clearly the
necessity of universal change of rulers,
and as the old Wings claim to love their
country more than party, I hope they will
all unite under the Democratic flag, for
the salvation of our Union.
Respectfully yours,
DANIEL r. MILLER.

THE NEGRO REGIMENTS HOW
THEY FIGHT-ST. NARY'S
BURNED.
HrLroH HEAD, February 2.

HILTON HEAD, FEBRUARY z.
The negre expedition from St. Mary IS
has just returned. It was composed of
four companies of the negro regiments.
They went after negro recruits and lum-
Der.
They got together a. lot of negroes, but
they refused to come away, and were left
behind.
They did not succeed in getting any
lumber. The transports were fred at
from the shores. Captain Jack Clifton,
of the steamer John Adams. was killed
by ball through the head. He was well
known all over New York. He was the
brother of the celebrated actress, Joseph
inc Clifton, and was very much liked for
his social and cheerful qualities. His
wife and daughter are at Beaufort. His
loss is regretted by all.
The expedition succeeded in bringing
off four n-combatants. The town o1
st. Mary's was burned by the negroes.
The negroes landed and encamped al
St. Mary's. During the night twenty
rebels on horseback made dash into theil
camp, when the negroes fred in every
direction, and then stampeded for the
transports, throwing away their guns
They rushed pell NELL on board, and
created the greatest confusion. The rebels
fred from high bluffs, and our troops
could not elevate their guns enough to dc
much execution. Report says that two
rebels were killed and FIVE wounded.
