We put down South Carolina nulfi-
cation, and how? By calling out To-,
600 men? No. BY numbering seven
or eight hundred thousand men? BY
making million and a half of orphans
in this country? That's o the work
that Democrats have done. These
bloody scenes were reserved for the
abolitionists to produce.
Lincoln has shed enough blood to
float the Great Eastern And how
much nearer the end does he get. His
cry is still for blood. The administra-
ton stands on tip toe every day, with
its eyes distented, and its arms
stretched forth calling on the Ameri-
can people for more blood and more
money. And their preachers-those
Chicago priests that went to Detroit
to get Lincoln to bite the forbidden n
fruit, to commit the first act, the mi
tial sin, by the publication of an act
emancipating the slaves. These priests,
l would ike to have met these fel
lows; they went down canting and
v Inning, their mouths all the way wa
teling for the blood of the people
Every one Of them thought that Goo
made it his special business to go ant
beg Lincoln to commence the business
of numbering the American people.

What could the South do? The
North had shown that it not only had
the power of seizing on the whole
country, but the South barely stood
by, knowing what they had to expect
at the hands of their masters. What
could the South do if Lincoln and his
gang chose to pass Jaws to abolish
slavery? What use would it be fol-
the South to say, ''Oh, here's tie Con
stitution?' Mr.. Lincoln had nothing
to do but to say, Il don't so construe

elected by the Northern States, have

Cne of two things must happen. If
these abolitionists succeed, they can
only do so by destroying the State
governments Of the South and thereby
destroy in fact the whole Sttte Gov
ernments Of the North, they can only
succeed by establishing q despotsm,
garrisoning the whole of the South,
seven or eight hundred tAousanl
strong, the cost, nay, the interest OF
which would take the best farms from
under your feet. And this would not
be the greatest evil should they sue
ceed. Here are four millions of ne
groes, they have hitherto been kept on
that side Of the line, merely because
they couldn't come this side of If
the Abolition party succeeds, all we
have to do will be to make our prepa-
rations to go where breadstufs are
cheap, and 60 from the region towards
which the negro gravitatcs. These
negroes will come flocking over our
river by the hundred thousand. Now
what do you want with them They
will occupy the place left vacant by
the murdered white men; men who
have been murdered in order that
these negroes should get a chance OF
settling here.
They commence bringing in the Mig
ger to push off the Irishman and
Dutchman, not because they are al
together angry with those people for
voting the Democratic ticket, though
that IS great reason, but l will tell
you, my friends, if this abolition party
succeeds in breaking up our govern
ment, in breaking up the State gov
ernments, trampling on the Constitu
tloh the next thing they will do will be
to lnaugurate religious war. They
will appeal to the religious preiudices
of the country; they will band the dis
ciplcs of Knox and Wesley against the
followers OF the head of the Catholic
Church; they will say, I'VE have sue

foul play.

On Tuesday Coroner Joseph Smith, of West
Chester, accompanied by DR.. J. r. McClurg, met
the Jury Of inquest at Toughkennamon and passed
final verdict in the Of Joseph B. Smith Of the
lattsr named place, who was recently found dead
in sluics in Wilmington, Delaware. Several
new witnesses were examined, among whom was
one from Wilmington, who had found ths dead
man in the water. Another was from Philadel-
phia who had been with the victim during the
evening preceding his death. Both Of these wit
nesses were strong in supporting that Smith came
to his death by foul means, The depositiOns OF
Drs. Stephens and MsClurg were taken. The dis
sections disclosed evidence of death from
drowning, but ON the contrary, sustained their
opinion that death was the result OF violence.

SUICIDE AND LIFE INsURANcE.-The Uni

the case of the Mulal Life Insurance Company
vs.. Terry-a case of suicide by poison. The
court holds that the facts show the reason Of the
deceased to have bsen so impaired by insanity
that his suicide was not his voluntary, intslli-
aeat act. On these facts it Is held that the
company is liable, although the policy provided
against snieide. This decision isin accord with
some of the State courts, and shows that if cor
poraliOna are sometimes exacting, the courts
know how to decide against them, even IN q
case Of doubt.

From the report of the condition of the
wheat crop, just issued from the Agricultur-
al Department, it appears that in the Mid
die States q great improvement upon the
ed, especially in New Jersey and PennsylYa-
MIA. The prospects in the States south of
Maryland IS less favorable than last year,
and there are indications Of diminishing area
in the cotton States. In Kentucky a more
checkered showing Is made, giving a present
appearance OF decidedly unfavOrable cast
with indications Of future improvement as tbs
