Congressional candidate favored the late lie
compton county convention with comparison
Of himself to the juvenile whose parentage was

our blessed baby will be sacrificed by being laid
over. in which event We promise him the post-

HORTICULTURE FOR WOMEN" Whoever
grows anything feels new interest in every
thing that grows; and as to the mood of
mind in which the occupation is pursued, it
is, to town-bred women, singularly elevating
and refining. To have been reared in farm
house, remote from society and books, and
ignorant of everything beyond the bounds of
the parish, is one thing; and to pass from an
indolent or literary life in town, to rural
pursuits, adopted with purpose, is another.
In the first case, the state of mind may be
narrow, dull and coarse; in the latter it
should naturally be expansive, CHEEKY and
elevated The genuine poetry of man and
nature invests an intellectual and active life,
in the open universe of rural scenery If
listless young ladies from any town in En-
gland could witness the way in which hours
slip by in tending garden, and consulting
about the crops, and gathering fruit and
flowers, they would think there must be
something in it more than they understand.
If they would but try their hand at making a
batch of butter, or condescend to gather
eggs, and court acquaintance with hens and
their broods, or assume the charge of sin
gle nest, from the hen taking her seat to the
maturity of the brood, they would find that
life has pleasures for them that they knew
not of-pleasures that have as much sro-
nance and poetry about them as any book

THE BosToN UNION MEETING.-We have
shown our readers Governor Lincoln's sincere
and honorable protest against slavery, made in
his speech on taking the chair, at the Boston
Union Meeting. Ex-Governor Clifford put
something of the same kind in his letter reply
ing to an invitation to attend that meeting.
He said:


But in Withholding our sympathy and sup
port from those in the north who would i'm
peril the Union of these States by such acts as
tend directly to its dissolution, we have the
right to claim from our fellow citizens of the
south, that their sympathy and support shall
not be given to those whose official declara-
tons of treason actually threaten its dissolu-
ton. Especially when the ground on which
such threat is uttered is that recently assign

new test of ineligibility to the Office of Presi-

"THE RIGHTs OF THE SoUrH"-One
noticeable feature of the debate in the Senate,
Monday, was the reflection made by Mr..
Iverson on the northern democracy and Mr..
Bigler's abject and servile reply The assump-
ton of Mr.. Iverson was that in questioning
the right to hold slaves in the territories by
virtue of the Constitution, the northern dem
ocracy were guilty of an attack on the rights
of the south. Mr.. Bigler replied in substance
that they had always been faithful to slavery,
had "labored in season and out of season in
defence of the rights of the south, " and hoped
they would not be denounced as abolitionists
on account of differences of opinion on the alb
stract question of territorial rights. All that
he said of the fidelity of the northern dem
ocracy to slavery was disgracefully true, and
was expressed with candor wholly unconscious
of shame. 1t certainly ought to disarm that
base ingratitude which forgets the long, dis
honorable, and unpaid service of the democra.
cy of the free states, because, in the slow
processes of decay, it is not able to per-
form its work so satisfactorily as in former
years. But it is pleasant to see that the mean
ing Of this much misused and misunderstood
phrase, ''the rights of the South,' is coming
to be settled by Democrats themselves.
Slaveholding Senators, with unparalleled inso-
lence both Of statement and of manner, have
used it for years to frighten timid men into
acquiescence with their mad schemes, and
Northern Senators have come home to instruct
us that suitable Difference to slavery and its
lordly defenders is part of our Constitution

load which they have endeavored to impose
upon other shoulders is becoming too heavy
