THE PRESIDENCY.
We have m Woe that Fremont will ever be
the President of the United States, but a3 the
signs of the times indicate that the contest
trill be principally between himself and Mr.
Buchanan, it will not be thought preposterous
to speculate upon the probable result attending
bis election.
Mr- Toombs, end a great many others, aaj,
it will dissolve the Union I Do those among
? 1?J !- v e r .
in wno ?rv iuuu in uur pruiewiuiii w ?u?va*
men* to tbe Union believe it? Then let them
sake tbe necessity measures to defeat him.
Let them rally around the candidate who is
nost likely to secure that end, instead of dividing
their lowes. and exposiug a weak front to
he enemy. Every rote oast for the weaker
>f their opponents will tell against tbe continutoco
of the Union if it be true that the success
jf tbe Black Republicans still bring about dislolution
But there are greater dangera to be
ipprvbeudod than the dissolution of a mora
nominal Union. If Fremont is efected, the
langer is that the Union will become a Union
with death to ns,?that some "existing cireunj'
ttances," which are oaoally so potent to disarm
>ur weak resolution, will chain ua down to it
with all its accumulated cursea,?and that
without the power to raise a finger in opposiion
we shall be compelled to witness tbe desolation
of ottr homes, the annihilation of our
ibertie*. This, then, is the time to utry men's
iouIb," and it is well to be eigilant. Wby
kboold Southern men hare two candidates in
he field when each issues are upon them ??
Away for a while with Democracy, Wbiggery
tnd Americanism, and giwe ns a Southern
party whose first object shall be the restoration
<if Ike Union of the Corutitution, and failing
that,?eelf preservation.
We do not ask at this time an organisation
as a Southern party, with a serrate candidate
pf our own in the field, but we contend thai
weshonld unite upon that one whpso prospects
for defeating Fremont are brightest?'that we
should rote, not as Wbiga, Democrats, 01
Americans, but as Southern men, forgetting
past differences, and sealous for our country
To do this does not roqnire a sacrifice of prin
ciple by any party, but to neglect to do it mat
involve them all in irremediable ruin.
TO SUBSCRIBERS.
We learn from a friend in Marlborough that
ha had procured for us quite a number ol
signers to a prospectus of the " Hera id," and
banded it to another to get more, but be hai
lost or mislaid the list. This will exnlain to
those who had signet] it the reason of their no)
receiving their papers, and will afford an op
portunity for them to remove the difficulty at
ones, by furnishing us with their name*. V,\
ore greatly obliged to onr friend for hi? effort!
in onr behalf, though we may never, under the
circumstances, reap the benefits intended.
We would like to hear from other quarters
where it is to be hoped the lieta ere well filled

At the low price of two dollere a year, ?n

inthie section of country, and so for we

will be. It now baa a circulation in fourteen

TlIE ADJOURNMENT OF CONORESS.
As every session of this body is looked forward
to with great interest, so its adjournment
is usually hailed with pleasure hy tho people j
generally- Notwithatonding the experience of
past years we cannot be induced to forego the
hope, and confident expectation, that each approaching
session will result in good to the
country, either by the anactment of wise end
necessary laws, or by seme legislation to alloy
or baaldi tsensiom between conflicting parties :
or sections. But disappointment almost invariably
follows.
The present Session is about to close; Congress
will adjourn on next Monday. Has the j
country any cause for self gratnlation upon
the issue? The prime features of this session |
ere certainly not such an to call out (he benedictions
of the South, however much other
portions of the Union may exult crer its actionOne
good, however, has been effected. No '
session has done more to expose the real position
of parties, and lift the veil which has so
long oorered op the present designs of the foes ,
of the South, than this. The line which seperates
between us and them is now distinctly
marked, and the iaane clearly made up. Thus
far we have reason to rejoice that Congress has
. been in session.
, But what practical benefit has resulted to
> onr enemies ? First, the Black Republicans
by the adoption of the majority rule, electod
, Mr. Banks Speaker of the House, and thus
, secured the control ofall important committees
as well as enjoyed the advantages which always
t flow from snch an exhibition o( numerical I
strength.
Next, a Black Republican committee of investigation
have been e tabled to palm off
, upon the country a garbled statement ef a
packed jury upon the affairs^jf Kansas, and so
I have misrepresented facts and given the peo,
pie false ideas of the position of parties there.
. Then, Black Republican Senators and Repre,
sentntires have perverted the freedom of debate,
and consumed the time which ought to
, have been spent in legislation, in tho whole,
sale atraac of the South, in the salification of 1
her statesmen, and in falsifying her history.
Agaiu, Southern members have been censored
for acts which their constituents approve
, and applaud, while Northern members are

I oven to carry murderous weapons with them '
, to their seats in the fieuate chamber.
, Now, we hear that the President who has
ever been watchful for the peace end prosperity
of the country is instructed to stay his
hand, and permit the creatures of Northern
! Aid .Societies to over-run and tmritm the
I territory of Kansas. Threats are also made
( that unless Kansas shall come into the Union
on the terms dictated by tho abolitionista, the
, annual appropriations for the support of the
government will be withheld.
Betides all this Gen. Whitfield has been deprived
of his sea. in the House and an attempt
made to put Header in his place, when the 1
former was the choice of the legal voters' of
i Kansas, and the latter the tool of the Revolutionists.
As to this matter of stopping the supplies,
the North will feel it moat. Lit the sup- 1
plies then he stopped, we care not how soon, '
if it will bring the Yankees to their senses.?
Shut up the National Treasury for but a few '
months and these great Nabobs of Boston and
New York will soon come in the character of
beggars humbly craving quarter.
Congress has done some good, we repeat, if
its action serves to open the eyes of Southern
men to the real issues before ea. Let it adjourn
then as soon as possible, and let our
members come home and d re oars their eon.

MT* On last Saturday we had the pleasure
of a walk in the beautiful gardens of Col.
Macfarlan, and were rurprised to find erery
thing in thera in so flourishing a condition in
this extraordinary seasonTo
the vegetable department we saw the
very finest Irish potatoes we have ever seen,
whether in other gardens or exposed for sale
at tho Stores. Bnt the flower garden attracted
our attcution principally. Great taste has
been displayed in its arrangement, and much
skill in its culture. .Box, and other ornamental
plants, arranged in different figures, define
and dcckorate the beds, on which Roses of
many varieties, and other fragrant flowers are
blooming still. We saw one Mock Orange
trimmed into the shape of an ' old arm chair,'
and really 'tis a fine model of a chair. If the
Colonel only bad another near it, of the same
size, and a miniature cun close by,the arrangement
would be complete.
While roses are blooming and filling the air
with their sweet fragrance, luscious grapes,
"just mellowing into wine," hang near by in
rich and tempting clusters from every part of
m long arbor.
In the Spring this beautiful flower garden
moat be en attractive eight. We like to *ee
inch things,and believe that they have a gentle
influence over the heartaof the young.
Mr We had juat finiebed looking over our
exchangee the other day and had wandered
into an editorial reverj,when we were aroused
' y the entrance of a servant, with a neat little
baaket filled with delicious peaches. Upon
the top was a alip with thia simple address:

Voice of the wind, oh! ur from wli -re,
Aroye wafting now, with that free wiTd air7
Sometimes a hoarse loud tone re leave,
And anoit,the sound that a lute would breath**

Then Sighing ae one who is sad, nod lone ;

The voice o?'7 wafleth swiftly on.

Perchance ye have been where the floweti

Shedding around them their sweetest perfume,
And metbinke ye breathed on the blushing

As she bowed ber head for the eve's repoa*,
Ye hare kissed that cheek ot a roseate hoe,
All filled with the drone of the pearly dew
But wind, tell tae, aid ye betid thee low,
Aud nbt'e the place whero the violets grow ?

And thy tone is more like music I ween,

Liet! liet I thy tone like tie Ocean breathes.
Are ye come, are ye come, from the dark blue
seas ?
Have vebecn whete the waves in grandeur

And did jemot watch as they rose, and fell,
Proudly cresting their white foam high,
Then rushing down with a deep totoed sigh,
Wind on that grand, that awful deep,
Did yn note the wares o'er a proud ship

Bat lis vain to ask if ye come from there,

Could 1 but read thy tone, sweet wind ;
But ye will not tell me from whence ye are,

' To find whence ye are, or from whither ye

Like the mnsic of some melodious rill,
Ye will not reply when I ask Is it there 7
