IHiis veticiable Newspaper is now in its j sixty eighth year. It was fortunate enough to save, from the many conthigralions uitli which Charleston has been visited, all its hack v 1 unies, and has now procured a suit of rooms to contain the large and v limbic deposit. We wottid greatly enjoy the perusal of some of it- \ nnoient numbers It has always claimed t<> he , a commercial paper?hot, it has often hcou ' carried away in the tide of politics.

Alt I also, that capitalists arc already discussing j the question of ooutracling with Cnincsc com , pauies for immense ituiiilters of them to culti ate the cotton fields of the South tor a term 1 of years, and they *</y, at a much cheaper ' rate than negro labor can heoltinincd; and, i that soon the rivalry between the Cliiuaineu and the negro will commence. As soon as j the Pacific Railroad is completed, the path i wiM he opeu for a perfect avalundi of these ugly and disgusting creatures, in comparison with whom, the negroes of the South are far, cry far superior in all their relations of labor j and intercourse with the whites. In a few | months or years, these roving locusts will i cross the llocky Mountains and begin to fill up the Valley of the Mississippi?and, it is \ a tid that millions of these ltarb.tri.tns can s'ill I be accommodated in the mines on the Pacific 1 Coast. These Chinamen then, are to become ) the rivals of the negro in the cotton, rice and ! sugar fields of the South.

God preserve us, our cliil'lreii ami the poor negro from audi a fate :ia this! .Not one iu it tliouaikiul of our people have ever seen a Tartar or a (Miittumau ; ami if they have, they have seen the very best specimen of that abominable race.

Northern hale I and cupidity must be at the hoi turn ot such a ' movement, because any body may see that this | project would give rich ami lucrative employ ment to numerous steamers, and, i.t the same (mm, glut their malicious passions in driving | out the present population, to give place to the I wandering and barbarous tribes of Asia The , consummation of designs so hellish in their ' nature, would be the fulfil ling of their oil re j pealed purpose of Wiping out the South. ' It may be asked, how Could wo help it ? h >w can we prevent their coming? We cannot prevent it by force, because we have not the means. Very true?but, such a curse can be prevented by every man being true to himaill * and his country Let preference be given to j , the negro, with whom we are uci|iiainted ami j j with whom we have always lived. Give them , a fair chance, ami use him w ell, ami ninety out of owe hundred w ill answer all the ends ] t of labor ; and, in social relations would be a i thousand times preferable to the filthy mid ! . abominable Chinaman.

Tile tiov'r removed them, however, ami behold ! a Radical mass meeting was cull ed, and instead of mustering their foices, and marching upon the enemy, suddenly discovered that discretion was the better part of valor, and all their fuss and fury ended a- mildly aany sucking dove.
