| ^ 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

by Mr. Fremont. It is of tho latter
only I would write. T call your serious attention

It will'ho of no iiso to cry out that this

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

will not lie wrii .? chance to vote for him.
Now if, (may '.Ito < io<I of our Fathers avert

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

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,

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

bill, now before Congress, requires lor
the tupport of the army for tlio year ending

the aggregate expenses attending the maintenance
of our army fur twelve months is
nearly fourteen millions of dollars. Some

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 ? Or, will
i they make M;;j. den. Wehh, who tlireatens

to the Constitution to give up their insane
projects of forcing the South into a dissolution
and civil war. The time lias not yet
arrived, when an attempt to subjugate the
South would be other than madness ; hut if
| it is ever to com>\ we would rather it would

the eyes have Lecomc useless ; they have
lost their lustre, and are falling out of the

Tlio Anniversary of the District Bible

tho Kev. II. II. Den a nt delivered
an interesting and appropriate sermon, and
our townsman, Dr. J. J. Wakdlaw, the ad

We learn from the Columbia papers,
that Mr. Waimien- 1?. \Vii.kes arrived at

- UULtrr BEIGK5 AT WARSAW."
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.

Thero is every reason to believe that the

cut off.
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. Farmers will

It seems to us if corn grown in Northern

the grain more rapid than with us, could
be introduced by our fanners, the uncertainty
might in some measure be obviated.
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

Aforafs in Huyti.? A visitor to this negro
empire states that tho propensity for thieving
is so strong and general there, that
when a fire breaks out in any of the seaport
towns, the merchants hurry at once
with their money to the shipping in the
harbor, preferring to deposit in the hands of
entire strangers rntlior than expose it to inevitable
loss from robbery by their negro
fellow citizens. According to a statistical
document, out of 1863 children, born in
ihe first quarter of the year in three provinces
in Hayti, seventeen hundred wero
born out of wedlock, and only 1G3 were
legitimate. This is the condition to which
Grcely wishes to elevate the slave.
