Jennings *t Newport.
lu New York, the strunger must gu
to a watering-place'to see a system j
o? high prices flourishing i ti full
glory. Here, for instance, at New- j
port, where "all the world" of Ame- '
rica comes at this season of the year, j
the unavoidable expanses are such
that a rich man in England would
feel some reluctance to pay them.
In the hotel, for two rooms, decorated
with furniture which must hare been
brought by *che first settlers, and
never mended since, the charge is
$20 a day, (?4.) Supposing the guest
makes himself content with a sort of
closet., far away above earth, as a bed?
room, he can get off for $5 ' ) His
meals must be taken at tables inion
to the w,bole company, and : ie is
particular on the subject of cooKery,
he will very soon starve. There are,
no doubt, a variety of dishes, but as
they all taste precisely alike through
being cooked in the oven, probably it
is immaterial which the guest may
choose. Supposing that he takes a
pint of cheap wine, (Claret or Rhine
wine.) he will have to pay 8s. for it.
There is nothing cheaper than this.to
be had fit to touch. Should he wish
to take a drive in the evening, his I
bill will include an item of $8 (?1 !
128.) for the vehicle-a trap not a !
whit superior to the "flys" to and j
from railroad stations in provincial j
towns. The servants must be fed ?
heavily, or the guest may hew his
own wood and draw his own water.
Yek Newport is crowded, and there is
manifestly a large sprinkling of that
.class of persons who, in England,
are accustomed to travel in third-class
carriages, and put up at lodging
houses in back streets. The better
class of citizens have handsome villas
here. The display of dress would as?
tonish fashionable European inilli
not's, (sometimes with good reason,)
although a lady's wardrobe costs
nearly money enough to buy a cot?
tage and a piece of land. Men are
not much better off, since a suit of
clothes which no one could wear in
London without ^feeling abashed,
knowing he was outraging public
propriety, costs here $100, (?20.)
This, indeed, is the most disagreeable
part of the expensive life here-you
get nothing for your money. Bad
food, indifferent wines, poor lodg?
ings, cost more than the. best of every?
thing would cost in England. Let
any man go into a decent dining
house in New York, (Delmonico's or
the Maise? Doree,) and ho will not
get a plain dinner for less than $5,
(?1.) He might get a better one at a
club in London, or even at a restau?
rant, for 3s. or is. In point of fact,
if the people are not all rich here,
they ought to be, to enable them to
. live properly. It is probable tlhit a
far larger proportion of current in?
come is expended here than in Europe,
where saving habits prevail much
more extensively than anywhere in
America, except in New England.
There the ground does not yield i ti?
liches without labor and trouble,
money is hardly earnt, and thc simph
and frugal habits of the people have
not undergone much changos sinci
the pilgrim fathers laid the foundatior
of the settlement.

FELLOW-CITIZCWS: After much hesitation,
I have consented to be put in nomination
for your Representative in the Congress of
the United States. I publish thia card, be?
cause the District in so large and thc time
before the election so short that J could
not, if I desired, canvass tho District. If n
canvass were possible, however, I do not
I think it becoming or desirable, in my
I juilg?uent, this is no time for a scramble for
I office. It seems to me that no one proper
j ly impressed with the solemnity of the
j crisis, and the delicacy and importance of
tho duties to be discharged, could seek the
position merely for thc gratification of per?
sonal ambition. For myself, I declare that
I have no wish but to serve the State.
In 178K, South Carolina, through a con?
vention of her people, became one of thu
United States. She remained ?member of
the Union until December, 18C0, when,
through another convention of her people,
she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced?
ed from the United States, and with cer?
tain other sister States enterod into a?other
government known as thc Confederate
Government. We behoved that we had the
ri<?ht to secede and that? our security re?
quired its exercise in co-operation with our
Sont lu au sisters. South Carolina, in 1852,
proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right
of secession. It had long been tho settled
opinion of the State that she was sovereign
and ent itled to all thc rights of sovereignty.
She asserted self-government in order to
secure ber institutions and principles from
great evils, believed to bo imminent. Se?
cession was in the nature of a proceeding
tjula Umct. It was conceived in thc spirit of
self-preserration-not to injure others but
to save ourselves. It cannot bc necessary
to say that I am one of tho 'C who believe
that it was an' honest effort for honorable
purposes. The United States GoTorniueni
denied tho right of secession and waged
war upon the Confederate States, which
stood upon the defensive. A terrible war
of invasion and desolation followed, and
tinnily th? Confederate States we're .over?
whelmed hv force of numbers and dissolved.
At the cud* of- the war the State of South
Carolina found the Confederacy broken up,
her cit Liens who survived the terrible,
ordeal exhausted and impoverished, her
institutions destroyed, and thc whole coun?
try occupied by the military forces of the
United States. .Under these painful cir?
cumstance.-., the President of the United
States invited the State '.tely composing
the Confederacy to ro-oi auize their gov?
ernments and restore th. . connection with
tho Constitution ami Government of the
United States, upon certain conditions, the
principal of which was an acquiesencc in
the abolition of slavery, which liad been
accomplished by th( military authorities.
Tl\e State, wisely in my judgment, respond?
ed favorably t<? thc invitation. It is true
that tile mere issne of battle does not provo
right any more than did the old "wager of
battle;'" bufe it does prove power which can?
not bc disregarded. A Provisional Gover?
nor was appointed, who called another con?
vention of the people, which lias lately
repealed the Ordinance of Secession, and
by an article in the State Constitution,
recognized the abolition of slavery and pro?
hibited its re-establishment. Hy repeal?
ing that of Secession, thc Ordinance of
17SS, through which South Carolina be?
came a member of thc Union, was ipso
facto revived, and we are this day in the
Union precisely as we became in 1788 and
remained up to ISt?O. '
We are now in avery anomalous position.
Helving upon tho good faith and patriotic,
intentions of the President of the United
States, we have done all that was required
of us to restore .our .oki relations to the
Constitution and the Union; but still we
have not been received into fellowship at
Washington. That important part of the
plan of reconstruction remains yet to be
accomplished. It is understood that a
party will oppose thc President's plan cf
reorganizing the Statesand giving to them
equality of rights, and will insist upon still
farther despoiling and crushing the States
of the South as conquered provinces. This
radical fanatical party opposed our leaving
the Union, andnovf tlicy oppose our return?
ing to it. When we were in lie Union, they
abused us on account of ?avery. They
waged war -upon ns because wo tried to
separate from them, and now that we pro?
pose to return without slavery, they still
object. In this emergency, tho State needs
the assistance of all her true men. Much
remains to be done, and not the least is tc
secure a prudent, faithful and patriotic
representation in Congress, to assist and
forward the work of restoration which thc
State has commenced. I arrogate not ti
myself fitness to form part of such a rep
rcscntation, bat friends liare urged me for?
ward, and if you are willing fo try mo, ]
will give my best efforts.
In some respects, we are at the beginning
of our policy, as ii wo were a new Stat?
about to assume new relations with (?ii
sister States; but we must never allow our?
selves to forget thai in other respects wc
are an old State-a State having antece?
dents-a name to maintain and a history tc
preserve Whatever may betide us in tin
uncertain future, the past, at least, is se
cure. South Carolina has never swervei
from the path of honor, as she conceived it
We have a record of ?which *nono need b<
ashamed; and when any apostate son ?
hers disclaims or disparages it, may slit
cast him out as unworthy of her. Tin
devotion ?f every?true son of the Stat*
adheres in adversity as well as in pros
porky- is loyal,through oril as well tn
through good report ; and in the midst o
the greatest misfortunes, "sticketh close;
than a brother."
. After the delegations from the Southon
States shall have bren received into Con
. gross, many delicate and impoi tant dutiei
will devolve upon thom, especially in refer
euee to the freedmen of tho South, and tin
control which Congress, or a party in Con
gross, may desire still to exercise ove:
"them, lt may nol be improper, in thi:
connection, to say (hat, whilst ? have ap
proved the course ef the State in seokinj
to restore herold relations with the Govern
mont of the United States, ic has been upOl
tho faith and expectation that tho State, ai
V soon as reconstructed, is to have entir<
control of the whole subject of her domes
tic affairs. Tho Staff, and the State alone
must bo left to decide to whom she wil
give tho right of suffrage or otknr polities
rights. A new code unir must be onactei
to protect and govern the population latel;
made free -to prevent idleness, vagrancy
pauperism ami crime. J am not proph?
enough to fondRce whether we can succeed
but. I solemnly beliuv1.? it will Ix; impossibli
to live in tho country at all unless the Stab
has exclusive control of thc whole subject
1 have hope that this will ho permitted, an<
I think it is in accordance with our into
rests and true policy t<> sustain the Presi
dent and tho Democratic party in fchei
efforts to restore thr States to their posi
tion of equality and to give them equa
rights in the Government.
With these views, if tho voter? of th
District think that 1 can snrvo them or th
State in this critical emergeucv, I will d
my best for them; but I have'too high
sense of my own incompetency and of th
difficulties' and responsibilities of the pos
tion, to solicit it by a personal canvass.
