THE NEW YORK HERALD AND THE SOUTH. It is marvellous to note tho absurdities into which the Herald has fallen, in its attempt to delineate Southern politics, lie ignorance is displayed in every line, While the spirit which actuates it, ir apparent frr its wwufon perversions. For some time past, the Herald had been revolting in tho svpposed antagonism between slave owners and non-slave-owncre in the South, sifting the census to show their disparity in number**, aud encouraging Abolitionism by assurances that the latter etaas would never join in resisting, by disunion, its aggressions. In proof of its assertions, the Herald cited, among other things; the defeat of the Secession party in South Carolina in 1851, as the work of non-slaveowners. We replied, by simply stating tho fact, perfectly well known here, but of which the Herald was ignorant, that ''the wealth of the State was arrayed against the Secession party," and thai its defeat "was the work of men having the greatest possible stake in slavery; and who, by every argument of pride or possession, should have boon foremost in resenting and resisting aggressions upon it." Forthwith upon this statement, the Herald turns round, and applies to the slaveowners the same charge it had just made against the non-slavcownors. First it was the nonslaveowncrs, now it is the slaveowners, who dofented tho Secession party. Such ia*he contradiction and absurdity into which the Herald is betrayed by its effort to impeach the scsndacas of the South on the subject or slavery, and to build up aggression ou the hope of Southern sub. mission. Now, thero is no escape from the consequences of such a dilemma. If its first assertion bo true, its second is untrue. If the non-slavoowners defeated Secession, gainst the slaveowners, then all it says about "the solid wealth and intelligence of the South being opposed to the disorganising schemes of the Secession politicians," is tbe merest nonsense. But if, on the other hand, the slaveowners?this ''solid wealth and intelligence"?defeated Secession, whilo the non-slaveownora advocated it, then the Herald having shown, by its own statistics, that this class constitutes the majority in the South, destroys its own argument. For, then, by its own 9 admissions, the largest portion of th* ixjulb are in favor of disunion. The fact is, that ignorance, sheer ignorance, is at the bottom of this wholesale blundering. The Herald knows nothing of practical Southern polities; still less nf Southern feeling. Because a man does not own a slave, the Herald fancies that he has no interest in slavery. It does not ocour to tho Herald that, in the South, all values depend upon slavery; that the IVtAF nn 1 AM tVian visii ??" ^-w? | v avwj ??*wu *.? i\? U j Ml T UOk i UCIl earnings in it; and that there is no interest, however humble or aeomingly remote from tho institution, which is not directly affected by its fluctuations of prosperity or adversity. Is the crop abundant, and the, labor of slaves profitable? The mechanic sad the laborer, the trades and professions of all kinds, share in the general prosperity. Diminish the source, and all proportionably with the planter, feel and lament the loss. These arc facta too apparent to need comment in the South. ^ In the aauie ignorance the Herald iraa ginea that, because a man possesses wealth in the South, he will, therefore, submit to any aggressions rather than dissolve the Union; although disunion is seen to be tho ouly way of saving his proporty. Pro perty is timid, but it is intelligent. It is slowio act; but once arouse it to the sense of danger, and it will struggle desperately*. It lays bold of the strongest passions of the human heart. But the Herald's attempt to fortify its absurdities from the SecoMioo controversy ia South Caroline, is the most futile of all. Tba Herald does not know?what is, nevertheless, the fact?that, in that con. troversy, both parties advocated disunion. They differed only a* to the mode, one being tor disunion by State action, the other by co-operation, as it was termed, or the joint action of several States. But upon the policy of dissolving the l/oion, of separating the South f-om her Northern enemies, and establishing a Southern Confederacy, parties, presses, politicians, and people, were a unit. There is not a tingle public man in her limits, not one of her present Representatives, or 8enatova in Congress, who is not pledged to the lips in favor af disunion. Indeed, we well remember that one of the most prominent loaders of the co-operation party, when taunted with submission, rebuked the thought, by saying, "that in opposing Secession, he only took a slop Leokwaru to strike a blow more deadly against the Union" We saw him Uke "the step backward," bnt had waited in vain for She "blow." So much for the foots upon which the Herald baees its calculations ae to slaveowners and noa-ela'Veowaers the poor and the-riob in South Carolina jn favor of the Union. That the result of that controversy should have famished- our enemies with arguments based npoa1 oar submission? lb at il should embolden Abolitionism to taftuH Southern men with th? charge of VMtinU ftdrlity to their people, their homos, . Mid their honor?that now, m> the ore of the stormiest crisie jet known, Il ehooid etoovnge the North, with the hope of Southern dirinloot, to pram onward in iu war upon ae, and oren to demand of the ' South eoqnieeeeaee in the elevation to the Preoidenej of a man who ?u dragged fo porcrty and iafamj from hot etracte, MUi raiaed by an ootimely charity to de' t * EM*-r wncy, And hope?and who, with bam< leSs oritno, mruu tiro sword, getteToUi bestowed by his nrntife Stale, tgaintC b< bosom?a in in from wboSw brow tfeithi flattery nor powrr, hor Mariposa's gob can over w.pc out the stigma of heartlei treachery?that aM thi* sbootd bappe as the fruit oftbo - verthroW of fhe" Sees sion party in 1S.">1, doe? not surprise u We contemplate it a? the bitter illaelr tion of a truth, written upon eTery page ? history, that submission tcr wrong is tl parent of outrage.?Chttrlrtton Mercur; We make tlie following extract, the Darlington Flag, from a letter of th Washington Correspondent of the Nc Orleans Delta, dated July 28: "We have one consolation at leasi and that is, wc can and will outlive th degradation of Fremont's election- 1 will unite us. It will hasten that oven (a Southern confederacy embracin Cuba, Nicaragua and Mexico,) whic many regard as inevitable, by present an issue in which the South will unite t a maxv The insult of such an electio of such a man, on such a platform, wi not bo borne by the Southern peopleIt w'll be a blow in the face! " The election of John C. Frcmonl would at least accomplish one thing, i would show us exactly what we arc t expect. It would settle the qucstionc whether the South will ever resist t the last the doctrines of abolitionisir j There are, indeed, pood Southern me I here who regard the growing chance of Fremont's election with a feeling the smacks of satisfaction- The Sout Carolina delegation, two gallant men hers of which?Brooks and Keitthavc been driven from their seats i Congress, say " /w the t'siw. some." Sout Carolina has always been right- He glorious Calhoun was right?let he keep cool- She may yet realize he hopes. Fremont may be placed, by a overwhelming Northorn vote, in th Presidency, to rule over her with S< ward, Sumner, Hale and Greely,topla her humiliation. To rule over her, di I say? Never! The election of Fn mont will be the knell of this Union." The editor of the Delta, speaking < the letter from which the above is es tractcd, and of the writer, says : "We request our readers to devol special attention to tho opinions an surmises of our correspondent, va h possesses unusual facilities for obtaii ing accurate information, and is rvonflnmon nF Vt 1 (vli TOpUt^tiCu ? ? propagandist of Southern principle aud as a practical originator and orgai izer of progressive thought.

IPJ-" - - T#K CLAIMS AND* CWAtfCES. The question is eery often asked,44 What are the claims of Fremont lor the White House," ? and also " What are his chances f We will o try to answer these questions as briefly aod ii in an as condensed form as possible. His claims, as a gentleman, are many. He u is grateful, honest and hrave. He was, when c young, thrown upon the cold charity ot a 11 stranger world | but the warm hearted Carolinians educated, noarished and raised him at ^ the expense of the State, and now he turns his 11 back on his foster mother and would tear from c her breast her beating heart, and proudly throw * it to the wild and howling set of hungry hounds * that scent the life's hlood of her institutions * from Afar j this is gratitude, > ? bate ingratitude more in a roan, n Than lying, vainess. babbling, drunkeness, p Or any taint of vice, whose strong corruption Inhabits our frail blood. |? Once it was when Carolina looked with pride ^ to this ungrateful son, but now with shame and f mortification. o Again, he is homtt. By looking over the B report you will fiud that Mr. Fremont bought six hundred cattle for the troops in California ^ and paid for them out of the funds of the U. States, whereas the airoydid not get one steak j from their loins, bnt all went to fill the coffers 0 of himself. He pwid for his celebrated valley g out of the treasury, and has not returned that. He borrowed money at different timer from ^ different persons for the nse of the U. State*, ? and did not apply it for that purpose. We tj have a letter before us wherein lie is stated to KAf?t KnrmtA'iwI m ? ?

It is a shame tl " That such a knave as this should wear a sword Who wears no honesty." He is also brave. There is no doubt of fids ; r however, we will quote Com. Stoekton Brat, ' he was in California and u knew Wnr wfclt be says " that Fremont was never at the rigit place at the right time," iCml although there wore many and oftentimes bloody battles in California, Co I.. frwaoet was rtot in a tingle battle. This shows well f He is one of those . who Shakespeare describes as ??"the bare of whom the proverb speaks, Whose valor plucks dead lions by the beard." On one occasion he and Lt. Beale were sent with important despatches to the American ( army in California; Lt. Beat delivered his, : but Fremont failed,on account of what??no < one knows. Now we have showed Mr. Fre snoot's claims for the Presidency, and we are pretty certain thmt his chances are cm a par with his claims; | however, 1st at see: Mr. Fretaoot will aot get j oee Southern Stats; act that down; if be loses Pennsylvania and N. Jersey, or Pennsylvania ( nod any other State, or New York, he is de Coated. He will lose Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and perhaps New York and very likely Connecticut, Maine, Indiana, Illinois, Cali* j forms, (the scene of his bravery, Jkc.,) and Delaware. Now, Mr. Fremont, where are you? ?
