The Union quotes from the speeches of Messrs. Seward, Hale and Wilson, and up»n their testimony lays it down as established truth that the Republican organization has for its ultimate object the abolition of slavery in all the Southern States, and that its pur- pose is to be accomplished by first getting possession of the several departments cf the government, snd thereby making it eure that no more slave States are to be admitted. The Union says: “ Surveying the field from this stend point, we think we discover evidences of a settled ju on the part of a portion of the Fremont Paden either to practise a fatal fraud upon the conservative portion of the North, or to consummate a scheme of treason upon that tion of the black Republican party which iss given it its vitality and strength If the objects of the black Republican organization, as distinctly laid down by its great leader, Mr. Seward, are to be carried out in the event of the election of Mr Fremont, then the late developments indicate a fraudulent pu: to quiet the apprehensions of disunion which have taken: ion, with great propriety, of thousands upon thousands of the northern people. If the developments to which we allude are honestly intended as foreshadowing the administrative policy of Fremont, then Seward and his wing of black Republicans are to be cheated by the rankest party trea son The Uxion proceeds to comment upon the fact that Frarcis P. Blair and Speaker Banks, acknowledged Icadersin the Republican army, have both come before the public within the last few weeks for the avowed purpose of de- elaring the objects of their party, and that they utterly repudiate the programme of Messrs. Seward, Hall, and Wilson. Mr. Blair affirms that he hulped to instal Repub- licanism for the purpose of adding to the se- cae ity of slavery in the southern States. Mr. Bapks says that whoever intimates that his party intedds fo interfere with s'avery in the States is guilty of a bold and ba.elexs slander. He goes still further » ho adopts and endorses the non-interveation priAsizte of the bansas bill, and says that his party #ents no other legislation for the settlement of the difficulites in Kansas. The Union urges that thew cir- cumstances and others give plausibility to tie idea that Messrs. Blair, Banks, Bennett, a1 Fremont bave conspired together to betray the originators and founders of Republicanism; and yet, it adds: “It isso difficult for us to believe that so bold an act of treachery could be resorted to, éven by men who have proved traitors to their former political associations, that we still in- cline to our first impression, and conclude that the change of programme has been made with the knowledge and approval of all the leaders, and for the purpose of avoiding the charge of disunionism which threatens their overthrow As Republicanism has existed and prospered By 4 euccession of frauds, it is the safer con- crasion (bat # has determined to scek its final triumph by the sime means.’’ The Intelligencer, alluding to the national boast about the progress of the country, says : “ Certainly, its growth in all branches of industry and in all departments of develop- ment and wealth is truly marvellous. e could wish that its progress in moral growth was one bali or even one-quarter as rapid or great. But let that pass. Our aim in this paragraph is in a different direction. We perceive by the official tables just published that the revenues of Government during the Isat fiscal year, in spite of all the efforts of the Government to keep them down, amounted, in round numbers, to seventy-four millions ef dollars ; and its expenditures (what na- tion was there ever under the sun whose ex- penditures did not keep pace with the increase of its income’) amounted to fifty-seven mil lions of dollars!

Le left out a note that was appended to that letter in allusion to Sir John Temple. See the American Citizen, published in 1807, by Dennison and Chatham, now in the City Library. There is an asterisk, near the name of Bir Jobo, and the note at the bottom of the pege explains what Mr Emmet meant by “the caprice of fortune.’ The note reads thus: ‘Mr. Rufus King in early lite was a servant of, and wore the livery of Sir John ‘Temple, a nearrelationcf Mr Emmet.’ ”” +++» The Rev. David Mc Andrew's Church, Richmond, Berenice died of a very protracted sickness on Tue ; He was the son of the late Bishop Moore, of Virginia, and succeeded that eminent divine in the parish of St. Andrews.

The Late Duel in gouth Carolina —The recent duel has occasioned mach comment in the public press throughout the country, and hence every thing connected with the tragedy is of general interest. The ducl, which re- sulted in the death of Mr. Taber, took place, it is stated, in consequence of ® peremptory challenge to that gentleman for alleged offen- sive matter published in the Charleston Mer. cury, the name of the author of which was not demanded. It now appears that on the 27th of Septem- ber, Edmund Rhett, jr., addressed to the Hon, A. G. Magrath the following note : “Sim: It has just come to my knowledge, that your brother, E. Magrath, -, has sent a challenge to the editors of the Meroury, on account of the publication in that paper of the articles signed ‘ A Nullifier.” With a view of oro a collision between our mutual riends, I hereby avow myeelf the author of those articles. I trust, sir, that you will see the propriety of relieving others from the probable and painful consequences of vindi- cating your honor, ed vindicating it yourself. “ My friend, Dr. Furman, will make the ne- cessary arrangements.’’ To this Mr Magrath, under date of the 30th ultimo, replied as follows : “Sir:—Your note of the 27th inst, was handed to me, on Sunday, in Aiken, by Dr. Furman, to whom I stated, I would return an answer in Charleston “ Your communication gave me the first in- timation that any difficulty had grown out of the publication of certain articles of which you have avowed yourself the author. — **T took the most effectual means, circum- stanced as I was, to put a stop to the proceed- ings of which you notified me. “TI had hoped that these means would have proved successful; that they were not, was entirely beyond my control. 1 came to the city the day after the receipt of your note in Aiken: I then for the first time learned that definite arrangements had been made for a duel between Mr. Taber and my brother, the time for their meeting having been fixed at an hour prior to the arrival of the cars. ‘‘Your dectaration of being the author of the articles wiich have appeared in the Mer- cury, addressed to myself, 1s of no interest or consequence tv me. Should I deem it requi- site to take any step for meeting the unpro- voked charges and aspersions, 1 shall follow the dictates of my own sense of duty and pro- priety, aided therein by the counsel of friends, and not regarding the suggestions of my as- sailant. To the public a3 well as myself it is due that this correspondence should be known.’”’ Mr. Magrath has now formally withdrawn as a candidate in the pending election for member of Congress from the Charleston dis- trict. Dodging '—A custom prevails of “ taking the vote’? on board of steamboats, railroad ears, ets., confined principally to the Fillmore and Fremont supp rters, who thus manage to make it appear thst, on an average, Buchanan is eonsiderably ip the minority. To let them teli the story, he oan scarcely, anywhere, mus- ter a corperal’s guard! Rece. tly, in “ accordance with this prevail- ing mania of tho times,” a vote was proposed to be taken on the train in which Presi- dent Pierce New York and Sti imford, when, according to the Eventng .Poat, the President refused to wes 3 passenger, between vote ; whereupou, that paper remarks: ‘This ‘dodge’ ’ of the President will hard- isfy the pu dlic, for the locality had g todo wita his simple expression of opinion, and we m ay naturally conclude that r. Pierce, though a tried mener of the Buohanier party, cannot swallow either its platform or ¢andidate—in other words, even rauklin Pierce ig unwilling to vote for James Buchanan. [t is ;for the friends of the latter gentleman to dste.rmine whether this ehould be matter of rejoice ing or of sorrow.’’ We merely alls.de to the remarks of the Post to show the contemptible shifts to which it and kindred journals are now reduced, to strike a blow at @ President who seorns euch petty contrivances as voting in the cars, to bolster up theca usecf Fremont The ‘‘dodge,” as it 1s called, of” the distinguished gentleman was right and p-roper, as he was unwilling to make himself: party to this “‘ mania of the times.”?

A Whopper !—We notice the following going the rounds of the press, and itis on a par with the falsehood that Mr. Buchanan will with- draw as a candidate for the Presidency : “ The Pittsburg Journal says: ‘ Robert J Walker has admitted openly and freely his opinion that John C. Fremont would be elected President of the United States at the next Presidential election.’ ’’ We happen to know that Mr. Walker en- tertains a precisely contrary opinion, and is more confident than ever that Mr. Buchanan will win the day in the approaching contest Let the Munchausens try again. A ocontin- ual resort to falzehood, in the absence of facts, is now characteristic of the journals opposed to the Democracy.

Floyd addressed an immense con- course of citizens from tho steps of the Mer- chants Exchange, N Y.,on Thursday after- noon. His remarks were listened to with marked attention, and continued for two hours a fervent strain. One of the most prominent points of his speech was his argument to prove that the Republicans were clearly and solely responsible for a perpetuation of the wrongs and outrages committed in Kansas Dy their refusal to pass the Senate bill of Mr. Toombs. Some half a dozen steamboats left New York on Wednesday morning, carrying crowds of Democrats to join a great Buchanan and Breckinridge mass meeting of the ocean and river counties at Poughkeepsie. The steamers were beautifully decorated with banners and figs, and made a very imposing show as they went one after another up the river. Their departure was signalized by the discharge of caunon and other demonstrations of enthu- siasm on board and on shore The meeting was @ great gathering, and speeches were made by Senator Hunter, of Va., Col Pres- ten, of Ky.. and others The Republican authorities of Pennaylvania have made a “ requisition” upon Mr. Hamlin, our governer elect, to go to that State and en- listin the Republicancausethere They wish him to tell the Pennsylvanians how the thing was done so handsomely in Maine, and no man can do that with better effect than he who has borne the Republican banner on tosuch a glo- rious triumph in the ‘Dirigo State.”’ r.

The Californians are disposed to grumble at this condition of affairs, because it reduces the influence of the State in the Electoral College, where it has only four votes ; but they can alter the condi- tion themselves much more readily than the Constitution can do it forthem.
