Our true policy is moderate language with firm position, add with theno the l?. v TVation of Jin unbroken Southern lino. J.'j-emftturc and isolated movements will divklo us, and upon tlint division iuay follow tlio lull of our power. The slaveholding States huve common interests, and they must lmvo a common destiny. To talk of Virginia sinking into Frecsoilittm is Iclle : and to suggest that tho other Southern States separate from hcv. to organize an iuimcdiato system (jfaction?an idea thrown out by the Mercury in tho course of this discussion?-is to suggest political suicide. Virginia has <>00)000 slaves to-day, and will continue to hold more than any other State, unless it be, perhaps, Tosas. Before she can hecomo a l'Veesoil State, even leaving her prominent slave interests out of the I question, sho must first forget that licr Loe?, Iter Randolphs and her Masons ever lived. The blood that now runs warmly gushing from her great heart, whose every pulsation is for the South, must first bo turned into new channels. The records of her glorious past must first bo torn to pieces and trampled in the dust by her degenci..ie, Abolitionizcd children of a coming day. Nob till tlioii -will Yiigiuia forgot liur destiny, or cease to stand forth and assist in guarding and defending Southern rights under tho Constitution, or, it forced to it, above the Constitution. At present wo occupy tho position of I standing'by the Government where it stands I on the Constitution. If the issues of the I day should ho changed, and our enemies j break down the Supreme Coxirt, or ecizc tho Executive power, subvert the Senate, and liy fraud or otherwise, restore the Missouri Compromise or any kindred measure, and repeal the Fugitive Slave Law, then we arc for war. The questions involved are delieato in tlie last degree and mighty in their conscquenees. The attitude and prospects of tho South aro better now than they have been for years.

Jnb? T. Sloan, a member of tho firm of Gaiiiard A; Co., mndo a contract with Anion Bangs to make two hundred and fifty oarls. Tlio carts wero mndo at his shop, tho shop of Gaiiiard ?Sr Co., and charged to Anson Bangs <fe Co. Tho bills wero all made out in the name of Gaiiiard & Co.? Payments woromnde and receipts given by Guillard ?fc Co. But tho action was urougbt in tho name of John T. Sloan and his part tier, W. II. D. Gaillard, was oiVered as a witness to prove the work, &o. A pie* in abatement whs filed, sotting forth that 'he notion should have been in tho name of Gaillard <t Co. The Court ruled, and tlio jury found that the notion was well brought and that Mr. uaillard was acoiopotent witness. From this ruling and finding w? havo appealed. Tho verdict as to tho htuount of damage was not. romlercd when wo left thoCouil House for tho cars. " ?quinb Suicide.?Thcro was ah action brought by Hobsoit vs. Cobb, for the value of a liorso choked to death in Cobb's stable, at Williainston. Tho question was as to the liability of tavern keepers. Tho proof was by plaintiff that ihe ropoor hailer was | not well tied. On tho oilier hm??J, llio proof whs, that the halter waa all right.

Wo copy the following summary from the Washington " Stale* When Florida was an applicant for admission into the Union as a (sovereign State in 18ii>, with slavery, tho'vrttc on her ad- | mission Htood thus : In the J louse, Northern Democrats, yeas .r>8, nays 4. All tho members of all other parties of the North, numbering 37, voted in the negative. In tho Senate, all the Northern Democrats, numbering 12, voted in tho affirmative, | while all the Northern lucn Woi?g'nf; to j other parties, numbering 0, voted against it. But for tho votes of these Northern ?u i - i jrvutuwmo! i iiiiiuii nuum mil/ hmyu UCetl admitted into the Union as a ?Stnto. Take now the question of the annexation of Texas. Who m the North voted for it, who against it? Jn tlio House of Representatives 37 Northern Democrats voted for it, and only 3 against it j while not a single man from the North of any party voted for it. All others, numbering 4(5, voted Against it. llut for Northern IVmocratic votey, Texas would not have been annexed ! Let. us now take tho Fugitive .Slave Law. On the adoption of this law tho vote Btood ' thus : Northern Demni'mfs v.>?k 2S nnwu : J 14; nil others from the North, yeas 3, nay a 62. Hut three Northern votes outside of tho pemocratic party ! Thus it is clear that tho Fugitive Slave Law would never have been passed without the aid of Northern Douiouraw. Let us now consider the Nebraska bill? that most trying and tcrriffio of all measures to the Northern Democracy. That measure, under which courage quailed and virtue was seduccd?that measuro which, in the North, made apostney a virtue, and fidelity u crimo; which made an Abolitionist an angel nnd a Democrat a devil?an ordeal the most foarful of all to which the Northern Nomocracy have over been subjected. On this question how did the vote stand '( The Northern Dnninor.itH wl?? v?. tod for it iu the House were 45. Nut one Northern man of any other party voted for it. They nil voted against it to the number of 64. J n tlie Henato, tho Northern Democrats who voted for it were 14 ; against it, 4. No Northern "Whig or (of course) Abolitionist voted for it. Now, our conclusion, drawn from all these facts, is, that tho Bouth owea a debt of gratitude, not- to the North, but to the Northern Democracy, which should not be forgotten. True, they did but their duty, and nothing more; but they performed that duty when, at the North, treason commn.wl.wl , M.rl. ...v.....-.! 1 1 u ivniuu^ UUU UUL'UtJ J)UU?i"V;U I a hcvcvc punishment.
