SENATOR HUNTER on WHITE LABOR IN TIE
Sorrn.-JIcrc is word Just spoken by Senator
Hunter in the Senate Nor is it true that tho
institution Of slavery makes manual labor on
the part of the whites dcspicablc in the slave

IN which honest labor, as | believe, is moze
respected; and this am certain, that cvcrv
white laborcr in the slavcholding States is
more nearly on an equality with every other

I've liking for this striking.


If we only do it well
Firm, defiant, like giant,


Strike and make the effort tell
One another, working brother,


Let us freely now advise
For reflection and correction


Help to make us great and wise.
Work and wages, say the sages.
Go forever hand in hand
As a motion of the ocean,


The supply and the demand.
Ny advice is, strike for prices,
Nobler far than sordid coin;
Strike with terror sin and error,
And let man and master join.
Every failing now prevailing
In the heart, or in the head
Make no clamor-take the hammer
Drive it down-and strike it dead
Much the chopping, looping, popping.
Carpenters, we have to do,
Ere the plummet, from the summit.
Mark our moral fabric true.
Take the measure of false pleasure,
Try each action by the square
Strike chalk line, for your walk line
Strike, to keep it there
The foundation of creation


Lies in truths unerring laws;
Man of mortar, there's shorter
Way to base righteous cause
Every builder, painter, guilder,
Man Of leather, man of clothes
Each mechanic in panic


With the way his labor goes
Let him reason thus in season;
Strike the root of all his wrong;
Cease his quarrels, mend his morals.
And be happy, rich, and strong.

AS the grand campaign of the Democracy
against the Republican Party, with the prize of
the Presidency in view, is at hand, and as the
contest will be long strong and bitter one, and
as the NATIONAL DEMocRAr will sustain the Dem.
ocratic Flag by whomsoever borne, so that he be
the legitimate nominee Of the Party, we deem it
fitting time, to call upon the friends of the Demo-
cratic cause throughout the country to come to
our support. The larger the circulation of our
Weekly in the interior the more shall we be able
to do for the benefit ofthe Party, and we hope to
see the friends Of Popular Sovereignty, Conserva-
tism and the Union rally around us. They can be
assured that we shall never abandon their cause
nor oe'ray their confidence nor prove laggard
IN the advocacy Of their principles.


The WEEKLY Democrat contains in every issue
TWENTY-EIGIIT columns Of reading matters
due portion Of which is devoted to political dis
cussion, and the rest to news, foreign and iomes-

deavor as heretofore to make the WEEKLY DEM
ocRAT not only a staunch and reliable Political
Journal, but paper which shall be welcome to
the families and homes of our fellow citizens.

June, perhaps, of all other months
IN which vegetation is growing, and
Is to be tended, calls for more care
and nice attention than any other
month. The main crops have been
planted the seeds have sprung into
existence, and presented their tender
stems and leaves t. the eye Of the
cutlvator, while their roots have
struck below in search of moisture,
and gathered a firm hold to sustain
the plant in place. These evidences
OF life and progress crafty the hope
IN which the seeds were cast into the
ground, and cheer the farmer in his
labOrs.


All crops which are hocd require con-
slant attention, and their treatment
during this month will decide whether
they are to be materially benefited or
not by atmospheric influence. A
plant, as an animal to grow fast and
well, must be healthy and that
health will depend upon the circum-
stances under which it is placed If
IN a lean, compact, close soil, its
growth will be slow. 1t will be more
or less mos-covered, and look shrvcl-
led and old, even in June. But if it
stands IN warm, generous soil, light,
finely pulverizcd and porous, SO as to
admit air and heat, then it will stretch
away in cheerful and vigorous
growth, and come to maturity in sea-
sou. Plants show this difference ac-
cordInS to the treatment they receive,
but that they may assume the latter
form, the soil should be rich, and then
the cnitlvator and hoe kept in frequent
use, especially during the month of
June. Plants may derive important
aid from the atmosphere but in order
to avail themselves Of tins, they must
be vigorous and in health. The soil
should be fine and porous, well hOcd.
There arc many ways in which plants
derive direct and immediate benefit
from the atmosphere, provided the
farmer has done his part to place
them III Il condition to receive it.
After plowlng, manuring, and plant

than to fail to give them careful and
attentive cultivation. - Ccdar Faiis

SALINE COUNTf, hkk., July Jtn, lcOU.

 EDITORS TRUE DEMocRAT-Although not in the habit of writing for the public, I avail myself of this opportunity of dropping you line to let you and your readers know how matters and things are going in this region of country; well, we had bat talion muster Gin the lower portion of the county on Saturday last, when and where there was large collection of the malitia and citizens of the county present, and the ladies God bless them) were in attendance in considerable numbers.

 After the duties of musteSing, dismssng the malitia, etc., over, it was suggested that the candidates for State Senate be requested to ad dress the numerous company; Col. Clayton Hon. Jinmes F. Pagan and Judge Beavers being present

 Col. Clayton was called for and made sappear ance and said that he was the nominee of the Hot Springs convention, and said although it was a small convention he was the nominee, and that he had no relatives in the State, etc, ,the Colonel is very clever man. but only to!erable speaker

 Mir. Pagan then came forward and said that the great and all important issue was the slavery ques- tion, and that he would pledge himself to support the individual he believed to be strongeat in the South, (wonder if it will be John Be) andta al though he had ever been opposed to the democracy, he would vote for good southern man for presi- dent the only question he met was that he was in favor of the reduction of the State tax.

 Judge Beavers then took the stand, and after showing off the Hot Springs convention in it's true colors and convincing even Col. Clayton himself, that it was no convention, and that the democracy would not indorse the action of such thing as that gotton up at Hot Springs, came out in a forcble manner in favor of southern rights, and against Douglas and his squatter sovereignty doc Urine. He then took up the action of the State convention and proved exclusively, that R. H. Johnson was the nominee of said convention, and of right. ought to receive the support of the de- mocracy. He showed that if the delegates to the Charleston convention had any right in said con vention, they received that right from the State

This distinguished individual whom we showed up so completely last week, is again at some of his tricks of .jugglery. He ad- dresses letter to Mr. Peek from which we take the following:

 Nevertheless, it shall never be justly said Of me- as it may be said of at least one candidate for high office in our State, that am so selfish and means spirie ed as to insist that men shall vote for me as the nominee, who would not do so other wise.'

 In a speech sometime ago he affirmed that " he would vote for his bitlerest ene- my if he was the nominee" What is the use of nomination if it is not to override personal likes and dslikes? If that doc Urine prevails, nomination must necessa- rilv be farce. Hindman should remember that many democrats will vote for him as the nominee-who could not be induced to do it otherwise. A great many good demo- crats will vote for Col. Cypert, because they consider that Hindman is an unprin cipled disorganizer, who uses the party for his own qualification and aggrandizement.

 This letter is an additional evidence of what we said in our revIew-he stakes all on Breckinrdge-utte again his islander against the True Democrat in regard to the presidential canvass-when his own organ has neper euen to Mis day said a word for Breckinridge and Lane. In the issue of Tuesday 1t developes and retails Hindman's s falsehood-just as we predicted it would debut does not tell us why it sup ports Breckinridge and Lane. Hindman despises Col. Johnson, but at the same time wishes to be on the strong side at this particular juncture. In his address he was careful not to name Henry M. Rector, when it is we'll known that he brought him out. He sees Rector is defeated and now shrinks from him as if his touch was loathsome. He dares not support Rector openly. He skulks under hypocritical address from his pledge to carry his district for Rector. When the Ides of August shall open the eyes of the latter gentleman, he will ana thematize Hindman as his evil genius, his betrayer and assassin. When the northern district, as it will, rolls up for Johnson a majority of 5000, it will be seen and felt how fearfully the throne of Reorganization is trembling.

 We understand that Hindman has be- come alarmed for his own election, that his family has speedily recovered, that he has made list of appointments and goes forth to stay the tide that Is setting in deep and strong for Col. Cypert. Let him look to his own laurels, for he alone is to blame, if, at this late day, victory is wrested from his grasp. He is alone to blame for the alienation of good democrats who have stood by him heretofore. He alone is to blame, if as present indications show, Col Cypert IS the next congressman of the first district.

convention under the same rules and regulations that nominated R. H. Johnson, he argued that if the action in the case of the delegation was right that in the case of the nomination could not be wrong; also, that Mir. Fletcher the most prominent man before the convention, except Johnson, had indorsed the action of said State convention

 He declared in favor of having the Real Estate Bank wound up as speedily as possible and the mortgaged lands sold to pay the State debt on ac count of said bank.

 He is in favor of exempting certain stock from taxation, sufficient number to enable every poor man to carry on the ordinary purposes of his farm

 He called on Mir. Pagan and Col. Clayton to "iace the music'' anc tell who they would support for Governor, but they lodged the question, they are non n-commttal.

 He declared. that if elected, he would vote for none other than good democrat with southern views for U. s. Senator

 In conclusion, must say that the Judge sur prised his warmest friends and admirers, with his thorough knowledge of the affairs of the State and his auency of speech, Che being only farmer and not in the habit of public speaking,) and request the democracy to go to hear him in his visit to the different parts of the district.

 R. H. Johnson will carry this county by a hand some majority.

When the Old Line Democrat forgets the dignity which it assumed. and comes down to the low-fung efforts developed in the last issue, it betrays the weakness of its cause, and the low estate to which it has fallen. The bid for the votes of the me- | chanics just on the eve of the election, the cowardly, skulking way in which it is made, the attendant circumstances going to show what base imposition and cheat is at tempted to be palmed off on the public, is the last agony of cause which has fallen too far for resuscitation. The mechanics here take proper view of the matter. They rightly enough consider it an insult to their good sense. It is gross insult, little, ort-sighted, contemptible effort to infu- ence their passions and override their judg- ments. It is virtually saying to the labor ing classes ''you must have no opinion of your own, we can pull you by the nose, we can appeal to your prejudices, we can publish false-hood on the eve of the elec- tion that you will swallow, we can gull you easily and get your votes against the delib- crate dictates of your judgment" Never was such gross insult offered to the country. To what will the Old Line Democrat not descend In the name of humanity, we protest against such dis graceful and abandoned prostitution of glorious privilege-the liberty of the press. | By its course the conductors of the Old Line Democrat have shown positive con tempt for the intelligence of the masses the honest sons of toll. Because they have not the leisure to trace every scurvy false hood to its source, our neighbors think to influence them by misrepresentations and duplicity. This is another evidence of the political depravity of our neighbors, for no patriot, no honorable and sensible man, ex- cept in the last agony of despair, would boldly insult whole class by such silly appeals as are made by the Old Line Dem- ocrat. The earnest workers, the sons of toll, are the bone and sinew of the land, and there is not generous heart that beats not true to the sentiment of Burns:

 "ls there for honest poverty,

 | That hangs his head and a that; l The coward slave. we pass him by, | We dare be poor for a that.
