To assert, as many Democratic papers ia the North persist in doing, that the present national crisis has been brought tbout by, and is the legitimate result of, the Republican party, is simply ridiculous ia lL6 extreme, and exhibits, on the part of beer they who go utter, an unpar- donable. degree of either ignorance or ' wilfJl misrepresentation. Suppose it teas the pljectcf Mr. Lincoln, and "the entire Republican part5'," to iaterfero with '-Southern rights? What under high heaven could they do? Never was a President "or. party so" perfectly hand-tied! Mr. 'Lfncola cannot to-day form" his Cabinet itviloout the consent " of the Democratic rf3' r make a single appointment re ' tpiiring confirmation by the Senate..

Senator Benjamin, . : a fire-eating; Southerner, in' the United ."States Senate, cot twelve months ago ."quoted Lincoln in reply to Douglas on i the f larery question, and pronounced him far more conservative than even Mr. "Houglas! "But we are digressing. . . ; There is . now a combination of what . , .. . . i wai l formerly three distinct elements, i which the lovers of the Union every : where have to contend with. . It is the . combination- which renders it fearful and . dangerous. The. fitst is Imaginary in its r-chira.cter the second treasonable; and the third both treasonable and. traitorous. .'. "",'The 'imaginary, element 'consists of - class of. peoplcat .the -South, who, we at hchariiable.; enough,' to : a are believe, honestly 'think that it as riot only the 'object'of: the ; -Republican party ,"but "the - entire Horth', In directly wage war upon, their peculiar .'institutioa- where it .already exists; to ' ('. forcibly, free iheir. blacks and set. them "'loose, with incendiary torch in hand, and Viih the blood-thirstiness of very demons, j .murder and destroy , throughout ' the length and breadth of their land. They t. have .been iavght thus to believe; and . are prevented .learning to better under itsnd - the North, by the -enactment of fIaws -hy those composing the second and ' third elements forbidding the- free cir :. . fi culation of northern newspapers reflect " ing. northern sentiments upon the slavery '. question." Such a sentiment or feeling ? has bsen created among this class, that the' manufacturers of it could not cow contror it if they were so disposed. r ' The treasonable class consists of South . em men who have made the project of a " , Southern Confederacy their life-long study. liAaron Burr : originated the. plan, and ' these worthies have long sought an oppor tunity to make a ''"second attempt.!, The ..real objectsof this Southern, Confederacy - .t movement are various; principally how. . ever to secure there-opening of the Afri : can Slave trade, and also to provide fat -i-ftnd prominent offices for a set of addle- brained, pampered incompetent, hot- headed, one-horse politicians, who could , . . ' never be promoted in the United States; at ( : least in any degree, corresponding with . j .' their exhaited aspirations. K' . "The treasonable and traitorous class is . . composed of a horde. cf political vam r .-pires, who are the legitimate fruits of the 'damrialle doctrine that "to the victors be 'Jong the spoils." They are found in both ." ; the South and North ; principally in the ; South, however. They have long been sucking the. country's life-blood; filching ' '. item .the national treasury by the mil- . lions, and engaging in corruptions of the tnost' astounding character. A change of administration will "show up" these high- i handed de5peradoes. Hence the efforts; and great anxiety on their part, to bring ' about a direct, open, and. bloody conflict, ''.'inheres that it' will end in the total de- ttruction of all government buildings and records. at the'national'capiial, and thus all evidences cf, their base villainy be to tally destroyed. ...This isthe dangerous element, and which, when combined with . .the ethers, then renders the whole fear : fuuy dangerous. ' V!

" For ' ." making this speechhehas been burned in filigy by fanatics in his own State, and ; '' the' desperadoes threaten to han him should he care to return. For the benefit ... of our readers, we copy the objectionable -" portions cf his ipeech. "The . question is whether the other Stales will tolerate the secession of South Carolina. The covernment has thp riV.t to conquer her and hold her as a province. II referred to the expense of acquiring California, Texas and Louisiana, and ad mitted that these States were not admit ted fsr their own benefit only, but for the j befgre n high freshet, it benefit of all the States; yet these States say to cUy that they will go cut on their tl'L 1 pwn voiiuon. n r.ai an niogicai argu ment!

It might occur to the border States to establish a central republic, forming friendly alliance with Northern border State?. In this connec tion what is to be done with the Capitol, founded by Washington? ' It couldn't be given exclusively to the North or the South. He said the South had better beai the ills they have than fly to others they know not of. He. intended tostandby the Con stitution and demand the faithful perform ance of its guarantees. 1 He would not be driven out of ; the house, built by his fathers. He wanted to. stay rash and precipitate action in some parts of the South, which runs to hot-head . madness. He trusted in God that the Union would be preserved, and he intended to hold to it as the palladium cf civil liberty, as the ship-wreclied mariner clings to the plank to save himself."- What1 grievance oper steson South Carolina? 1 Is it 'because she wants to take slaves into the' Territo ries? Both of her Senators at the last session said ; "lo need of it now." ; Is t rt-nr for. dunnion bccnustf 'or man was not elected ?- If Breckehridge was elected, nobody wanted7 to break the Union. He said no. -What 13 there to fear V Let South Carolina send her Sen ators back, ad Lincoln can't even make a Cabinet without the consent of the Senate. - Was he such a coward as to re tract when it was evident they had the power? Was he to be so cowardly as to desert the noble band at the North who hxA stood bv the South in principle f Yet for a temporary defeat turn their tacks on them and leave them to their fate! Nnthinrr wa necessary but, to stand to your posts like men. For one, I would stand up-supporting the" edifice as ' long as human enorts last. He closed with a strong "appeal to stand-by the Constitution. Surely matters are becoming to a pret ty pass, when our statesmen are threaten ed, with a: halter for expressing such pat riotic sentiments."

J , i : He "charges "me with departing ifrom the tTUthid my remarks. . He- moreover asserts that the Commissioners never set aside an assessment,; but gave orders to have the county assessed .."anew." In referrence to the first item," I would have Mr. Commissioner, to know that Uncle Jo. never, knowingly asserts wnat is false, and so careful was he in this mat terthat he did not. speak without qualifi cation. And he boldly reiterates his formtr expression. ' For, he could, if ne cessary, give, the" name of his informant; a highly respectable' citizen of the county who, if anyone is cognizant' of the circumstance, should be.' . Our opponent must certainly be deem ed sophistical argument to assert that the assessment was not set aside, yet tell us Mr. Wells was ordered to assess the county "anew.'' According to this state ment we must have two assessments in operation. .' And jabsurii as ne may aeem the intimation that land : rated at three dollars an acre was raised to five, it is the prevailing belief of the people, and has created no small stir aaonj tax -payers. Whether done ..directly or ! indirectly is not material to our purpose. Now, as in calling the attention of the Legislature' to this subject, it' was not done with any feeling to the Commission ers whose characters we meant not to assail, or rather ' disparage they doubt less are all honorable menbut in simple justice to the people, that they might be relieved from the oppressive burdens un der which they are despondingly labor ing. : And we apprehend they will sus tain us in our efforts, as did the liberal minded Editor of , the Advertiser, who generously remarked: "Uncle Jo. is right in all his points." ; . . , ; v At all events,' though, unlike, some others, We have no particular ambition to print see our thoughts in whenever we can' promote the welfare of the people, or the prosperity :of the Territory, by our observations, we shall not be deterred from so doing by either' fear or favor. . As regard the 75!pei"cent.' to which reference is made, ve, will caerely.. ob serve that we did not stop to make a nice calculation,- but front a hasty reflection inferred it. .It should have been 65 1-40 per cent. , . . ; I find, Mr. Editor, we shall have to be more careful in future how we let oar disjunctive conjunction? slip into passages to which they do not strictly belong. I had no idea, sir, that, in this neck of the woods, we had a critic cf so acute and comprehensive an intellect. - I should not have troubled you with this replication to my opponent, whose stric tures were, as I conceive, entirely un called for, did I not wish to call the at tention cf the Commissioners to the con dition of the bridge across the Little Ne maha, near the junction cf two important roads over which there has been an im mense travel. Indeed, I know not what we should do without it This bridge was built by subscription," at a cost of upwards of S300, but not entirely finished; it needs bracing.
