Our worthy cotemporary of the Herald must par
don US for referring to the Union again. We did
not say that respected cutemporary was unsound
On the slavery question; intimated any
such thing, you must stop distorting meaning.


We only hinted and we believe firmly, that you
would unite with the Black Republican, the oppo-
sition you term them, not because they are anti
slavery, but because they would oppose the Democ-
racy.


We don't believe for moment that you sym
pathise with the aboonist in their abolitionsn but
confident that you do in their opposition to
democracy We do believe that you willing to do
evil, G. unite with them, that you may nave some
prospects of giving the Southern portion of the op-
position share of the spoils.' If not, you ought
not to call them by the title which you use
for yourself viz: Opposition, ought you to en-
dorse, as you have, the proposition to label the
southern opposition with the stamp used by
the abolitionists. Our Herald friend is mistaken
about being born in foreign country-had he
said we were not would let him understand that
he was in error; that is birthright, we will allow
| no one to deprive us Of and the man who can say
that the ''heathery braes of bonnie scotia is the
place of his nativity, well may he be proud of it.
And although educated in free State
we, thank heaven never have changed our course
But this we have done; do despise and ahomn
ate either paper or man who would advocate un
ion with the abotionists black republicans
Having been educated at the north, we know how
utterly faithlcss and unreliable they are and it is
an old adage, ''show me your companions and wtt
| tell you your character


Now in all honesty friend Herald, will you oppose
every attempt to unite the southern opposition with
the Black Republicans. Do answer this and obg
the Carotinian who is very anxious for you
welfare.

As will be seen from me latest news
published in another column, the Black
Republicans cf the North have consum
mated their diabolcal work, and inst;-
gated body of men to commence an
insurrection in the Southern states.
1t is all nonsense to suppose that eos
sawattomie Brown as he is called,
planned and commenced the attack on
Harpc-'s Ferry, unai1ed and unassisted
by Republican influence and Republican
support Every circumstance connect
ed with the late attempt at insursection
points conclusively to the fact that the
whole arrangement was gotten up in the
Northern states and in Canada. In fact
We would not be surprised to learn that
a secret national association existed,
having auxiliary societies established in
every Republican state in the Union
The Emigrant Aid Society Of Massa-
chusetts were evidently connected with
these traitors, else how did the arms
and ammunition belonging TO that so
ciety come into the hands of Brown
and his followers That Garrett Smith
was an accessory before the fact is also
certain--letters were found 10 the house
OF Brown, signed by Smith, and draft
for 500 enclosed in one OF them
letters were also found duplicating Fred
Douglas, and host of other prominent
Black Republicans. From all the sir
cumstances connected With this highs
handed and unparalleled treason against
our Government, there is not doubt
left but what it was the intention of the
leaders of the movement to overthrow
the Constitution and establish gov
ernment to suit their own particular
views. A Constitution for provisional
government was found among Browns
papers, and everything preparatory to
general rebellion, appears to have been
arranged with minuteness anl system
which has never hal parallel Ia the
history of our country This is but the
beginning of the fruits of Black Re-
puollcansm Good will undoubtedly
grow out of it, however. The eyes Of
many who before sympathised with the
Republican party have now been open d
to the true intent and purpose Of its
leaders, they see the dangero Is ground
on which they have been treading, ana
hencetorth they will lend no further aid
and comfort to the enemies of their
country. The energy and promptness
displayed by the Governor of Virginia,
and by the President of the U nited
States, in putting down this reasonable
organization is worthy of al praise, and
shows conclusively that where the
occasion exists for firm determination
and promptitude in action our present
worthy Chief Magistrate is not found
wanting.

SHOCKING DEATH-A WOMAN DROWNED IN A
CIsTERN.-We learn by Mr.. Carron that Mrs 10
seph Boyd, Of Warrensvile, was drowned yester
day in q cistern, under the most heartrendng cir
cumstances:


The cistern was under the kitchen and access
was had to it through trap-door, the bottom of
the cistern being six feet from the floor and only
four feet Of water in it. No one was in the house
but Mrs. B. and her little child of three and half
years, who of course cannot explain the particulars
of the mothers death. Mr.. B. was at work on his
farm, and saw his wife out of doors about 2 P. NJ.
When her two other children returned from school
and found their mother missing, they asked their
little sister where she was, who told them ''she
was in the cistern," that her mother told her to
bring her chair, and she did so, but that her
mother could not get out and wanted her to give
her another chair, which she did; that her mother
then wanted her TO kiss her.


The little girl ran around the house but nothnd
ing her mother, ran for her father, who came and
found the body of the wife and mother at the bot
tom Of the cistern, corpse. The two chairs were
also found in the cistern from which il is inferred
that she slipped in but did not at first drown, and
calling upon her little child for chair tried with
it to got out but could not, and called for second
chair with no better result, until becoming so
chilled with the cold water, and fully apprehensve
that she could not long survive, called her little
child to her to impart a final kiss, and then the
chill of death approaching her yitals she sank from
tie ehsir into the water and died.-DeGler.

Poets have praised the eye of black


And culogized the melting blue,
Have laid their fancy on the rack


To celebrate each varied hue;
But not one single word they say,
About the pleasing eye of gray.
Like the mild gray eye-the face .a.
Which most loved had eyes of gray;
And if each glance emits no blaze,


AS those of black, know that they
Possess charm that can subdue
Hearts that withstood both black and blue
The face is fair, with eyes of black


With eyes of gray is still more fair,
For what the last in life may lack,


Is made up by the softer air
Impaired to the lovely faces
That gray and blue SO often graces.
The black may pierce the gazer through,


And make the liehtest spirit dance
Our souls may melt before the blue,


Or die away in pleasures trance;
But | will still my homage pay
To the enchanting eye Of gray
The eye that kindly beams on me


Shall always meet like return,
And | will bend the ready knee


Wherc'e er those gazes melt or burn,
And idolize the lovely hue,
Whether of gray, or black, or blue.
