> >? ?i | ^ THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. + Tho New York Kx press publishes a letter from a correspondent in Oraiigo County, North Carolina, from which we extract the following: Three platforms are now presented to the pcoply of iheno United States, to be occupies! during tho next fall. It is not my present purp<wo to vontra-?t that presided nveV by Mr. Fillmore, with that tm-ler the vare of Mr. Ibichanan, nor with that guardvd by Mr. Fremont. It is of tho latter only I would write. T call your serious attention tO I lilt l'ir.t. tllilf SOIllfl l'f - . V * ?vaniti, Ohio, Ir.tlimia, ami Illinois, not even mi Klcctornl ticket will ho formed for Mr. Fremont. It is lidicuIons to think of his liettiuij a single vole among slaveholders. It will'ho of no iiso to cry out that this tiling ought in?t so to lit)?that Mr. Fremont represents true liberty, true progress, and true :iiiii-?<'i;ti"na!isni. This thing is so ? imt a single Kiectural ticket for Mr. "Fremont will ho formed ami advocated south ist* M oon's and Mi.von's lino. There will not lie wrii .? chance to vote for him. Now if, (may '.Ito < io<I of our Fathers avert t*iiiIt an c\eiit*.) if, tinder these circumstance*, Mr. Fremont secure from those North of this line enough voles to elect him President, he can never preside over the tlaveholding States?never?never. His election will inaugurate a revolution. My education and profession have lilted mc for my e:i 11 i n<r< >!' 1.1.tan.I " ! -? r w. j-*..., ii 11* i 111 iiiviu umjr Villi 1 lie happy. ihit as surely us the sun rolls over our head-, if the Northern States insist that Mr. Fremont and his platform bo established rvt the White House, the <ry will Ik? raised us in days of yore. " What portion have we in David ? neither have we inheritance i:i the sou of .Jesse. To your tents, Oh l-rael ! Now see to thine house, l>avid!" If Mr. Fremont and liis (.'ahinet ever counsel for us slaveholders, it will be "because ih?y have eoinpieru'l and enslaved 'as. It is idle to talk of any other condition, as long as litiuian nature is what it is. It may be grating to our ears to hear the Hiblo reviled as a relic of Barbarism, as containing only the necessaries for an undeveloped humanity. As long as these woiild-be r.*f<nners confine themselves to the stump, to a prostituted pulpit or the wianglings of ecclesiastical conventions, we will ht them t'u.-s and fume. 1'mt the moment I hat, without our concurrence, they a*.tempt to change the coarse of ac tion already agreed upon {'or us, there mn>t be :t revolution of the { resent order. The Missouri ?'oiii[ roiui>e has been abrogated at the siiirgestb-n aii'l hy the help of our Northern I retiiern. II.i I not these be??u a'.l'orded, in ali probability it would be the law of tlie land. 15ut to refu.-e admission to another slave State only beenuse it is a slave State, is to introduce a new condition into the formation of (?ur Union, without | any suggestion or any help South of Mason j and Dixon's line. Such an introduction must lieg'n an incvital.lc revolution. If the revolution l?e a bloody one, and i either party spread its views by ihe sword j over the land of the other, there may.be j still an external uniformity. If it be bloodless, and result i:i a separation alon<jr Ma * ? I Bon'3 ami Dixon's line, nil along that line will ho a row ot' Custom Houses manned by armed iiu-pectors. Visitors to Newport and Niagara Falls must have their baggigo examined at the line between Delaware and Pennsylvania, and on the lorry boats across the Ohio. Valetudinarians, seeking for life among the orange groves of Florida, must have their passports vised at Charleston and Savannah. This will be the mildest result of a Presidency attempted by Mr. Fremont. It is mo<t likely that aflet a disruption, excited and secured in this way, so lieroo will be tho fury at the South, that every nation oil earth, from Great Britain to Feegee, will be treated with greater courtesy and will be allowed greater commercial privileges than those who were once our brethren. Kitrope does not want l<?, and could not if she did, get along without our cotton, tobacco, but wo wi I most .assuredly try to make our Northern neighbors do without them, or purchase them under great disadvantages in tho marts beyond the Atlantic. But I nin-t stop, for my soul sickens in swelling on ilits hoi rid picture. The iniin must be mado whoso ambition would be gratified by making it a reality. Xo proper minded man ought to propose at this time such a platform as that of the Rlack Republicans?and no proper minded man bhould ever, in our country, be found upon it when proposed. In Conclusion, let ine present to you, this quotation from Mr. Madison's letter to Mr. Walsh : " PartieP, under some denomination or other, must always be expected in a government liko ours. When the individuals belonging to them are intermingled in every part of llio whole country, they strengthen the union of the whole while they divide flvni-u n?n't ?21. 1 l * ,j j...... ouuuiu si hiiiie 01 parlies arise founded on geographical boundaries, and Other physical and pet manet* t distinctions which happen to coincide with them, what is to control those great repulsive musses from awful shocks against each other P Coat of our Army.?The Army Appropriation bill, now before Congress, requires lor the tupport of the army for tlio year ending the 30lh day of June, 1857, no less than $12. 21,297 57. Add to this about a million and a half more embraced in the deficiency bill passed not long since, and the aggregate expenses attending the maintenance of our army fur twelve months is nearly fourteen millions of dollars. Some k of theitenift may l?o interesting. Pay of tbu army, $3,275,170; subsistence, $1,989,834; ,Quarter-masters supplies, til ,010,000; transportation, $1,500,000; commutation of office! i' subsistence, $601,967 ; clothing, $624,833.57 ; constructing barracks, <kc., $500,000. The probability is that some of tbeso Wins mfly'lw* very materially lessened, but not likely that - the aggregate will be induced IhjIow Cet> millions of dollars. -?.*? ? ? A Fri*mUe** C/titd?W: \V. C. Hall, ABILITY OF THE SOUTH FOE SELF-DEFENCE. The flippancy with which the Black Republican papers talkeasily overrunning tho South, in the cv?nl of that rupture which they s<;om determined to bring about, is happily usbuked by a northern conservative journal, which reminds the braggarts of some facts uiitl circumstances they do not eoer.i properly to have considered. It Knows, in tho first place, that there is no hope of that servile revolt upon which j some of the fiends in human shano caleu ate, and which they are anxious to excite; iho only possible result of three millions unarmed rising against six millions armed being a universal massacre. Nor would the South, on account of the servile population, be incapable of contending with the North, or any foreign nation. So far from iliis, our contemporary expresses it as his deliberate opinion that the South would be ! more powerful, as an independent nation, with her slaves, than without them. "In carrying on war, a multitude of men are required as teamsters and for other manual labor. For many such purposes, negroes would be more useful than white men, in Southern climates; and being necessarily scattered, and in the presence or neighborhood of any armed force, they would not is-. - ?--- ' w.v. .iii-iiiCTt ifMMiinrc, ii disposed. " 15nt it. is probable :i great many of them would side with their masters from , sitleotion ami choice. Tho South has double the white population which llie whole country had during the war of independence; then she has also a misjhty army in her sickly climate (-sickly to Northern constitutions) and wide extent of territory.? The South could, if necessary, raise a force of 600,000 fighting men; sutlicient to resist any army that could he sent against them from a ay quarter. In short, we do not believe that there is a nation on earth j that could conquer the South. The North I could not. Great Britain, with r.ll her | power, could not. Neither do wo ln>lli?vo lliat a war witli the South would give freedoiii to many slaves. Those near the frontiers would, of course, he early sent into the interior hevond the reach of scouting parties and aholitionists. The Knglish, in the war | of 1812-13, in spite of nli their efVort, oapj lured or decoyed ahout 3.000 slaves, for ' which they afterward indemnified the I OWlli'lV." ! Now, here is a poor prospect for a 1'lack i;. |>ul>!ic;ui invasion, according to the candid statement of this independent Northern journal. Wind chimee, then, has the warrioi Fremont to win distinction here; he who, according to Commander Se'jonek, of ; Ohio, was never within pistol shot of a single engagement in California ?

In that event, wo can possil>lv niaclh him with another Dull* (Srceii, with a mahogany slock, percussion lock, Arc. We advise these traitors to the Constitution to give up their insane projects of forcing the South into a dissolution and civil war.

Tlio Anniversary of the District Bible Society was celebrated at this place 011 Wednesday the 30th ult., upon which occasion tho Kev. II. II.

This Society, we learn, is one of the oldest and most flourishing of the kind in tho State. fOR KANSAS. We learn from the Columbia papers, that Mr. Waimien- 1?. \Vii.kes arrived at that place on Monday last, to meet the j Kansas emigrants who are lo accompany him to that Territory. Upon mustering his company, he found 17 from Chester, 15 from Sumter, 3 from Anderson, 1 from Abbeville, 2 from Lexington and -1 from Richland. It is stated in one of tho Anderson papers, that funds forwarded and which Mr. Wilkes takes with him, amounts to about Jiffy thousand dollars. Mr. "Wilkes de serves much credit for his zeal in this cause. THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

Since the Sumnf.it and Buhlinoame affair lias been brought to a close, scarcely a thing has occurred at Washington to disturb the consequent placidity. The probability is, that the moral teachings of that transaction from beginning to end, will not be lost to Northern members of the House. Defeated in argumentation, thrashed for slander and held up to the world in their cowardice, they should learn to be more, respectful to Southern men and mindful of Southern interests. Col. Brooks has again been sworn in and taken his seat as a member of Congress, doubtless much to the regret of those who were so eager to expell him. GODEY'B LADY'S BOOK. The August number of this interesting monthly lias been received, filled with its usual complement of choice matter. To the ladies, for whose benefit this publication is designed, it is invaluable, as it contains, independent of the fashion plates, a variety of patterns for needle and other work, and receipts of various kinds, worth many times the price of the journal itself. AGRICTTLTUILAL EXCHANGES. The Agriculturist.?The August number j of litis publication has been received. Col. Summer is making it one of the best journals of tlio kind published in this country. See on our first page notice in relation to the Premium list. Soil of the South, published at Columbus, Ga., price ifel per annum. The Fanner and Flantert Pendleton, S. C., price per annum. The above publications for this month arc also before us, and \vc take pleasure in | recommending them to our farmer friends as journals richly worth their patronage. jC5sT The citizens of Pendleton have recently held a meeting at that place, to consider the practicability of connecting that village with Cashier's Valley by a Turnpike Road, and a commilfco ?nt * . w u|'^'UlUbCU kU investigate the matter. tST Astronomers expect the appearauce, tli is year, of the comet of 1656, called Charles V., aud so named from having, according to some histonaos, caused that monarch to abdicate and retire to the convent of St. Just.

Cropping is becoming an exceedingly uncertain businesss in this District, from excessive drouths coming on ?*it the very time rain is needed to mature the crops. Especially is this the ease with the corn crop, us the history of the past five years will testify. The seasons seem evidently to bo undergoing a change.

Wo require now corn that will mature by the Inst of June, as that is about the time for several years past the drouths have set in. We should like to hear from intelligent farmers upon this subject; also, something in relation to the army worm, its oiitrin. habits, <kc., &c. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. M;ij. Tnos.
