Pu'tj nf the .S7?/.V.?South Carolina, on the
? second Monday in next IVhnarv, will rens ert
atitl vindicate her past and present pledges, or
?l:e will sign the bonds of* her shame and ignominy.
Do we not know, that the appellation
of c.htvti'ru. will change to terms denoting a
bragging coward, if wo submit after so manv
sounding tiireals ami lofty declarations of resistance^
Our ears will ring with tliese debasing
names, and tlio recollection of the past
will make them strike upon our brows as truths
and facts. Mere ridicule, the high and moral
strength of a true man can, well defy, when
conscience within assures that duty has been
fearlessly perlormed. But what strength of
manhood can defy taunts of truth that lav bare
the reasons of submission? Will not the only
reason for submission be fear?fear ofthe struggle?
Without a struggle, w e are undone. Shall
we then not make one decided stand for our
rights and property? If Athens could defend
all (ireece against Persia, if Holland could roll
back from her dikes and canals a French invasion?if
England could maintain the inde
jieodence of Europe against the enchanted
* sword and cuirass of Napoleon ? if America,
"not vet in ike bone ami gristle of manhood,"
could stand up against the British empire, and
carve from her side the independence of America?if
scarcely eighty yeomen in the interior
of Massachusetts coald begin that glorious strug
gle, and make it catch in every colony from
theSt. Croix to the St. John's?what dread is
there, tha?. South Carolina cannot successfully
* assert her secession from the Union, and stait
the movement that is to cease only with a .Southern
Confederacy? A wavering |?olicv, and irresolute
action will ruin us; in firm, irulaunted
and decisive action, repose all our trust, and all
our hope of the perpetuity of our liberties.

A Lady and her Children Flying from her
Husband.?The Pittsburg (Pa.)tJazette ofMouday,
gives an account of an affair which took
place at the Exchange Hotel last Monday, and
appears to have created considerable sensation.
On Saturday, a lady with four children on her
way to New York, took lodgings at the Exchange
Hotel. At an early hour on Sunday a
gentleman, accompanied by a legal friend, came
to the hotel and examined the register. Ti e
gentleman, on seeing the lady's name declared
that ho was her husband, and demanded to be
shown to her room, for the purpose of taking
possession of the children.
** *-1 ??:# alt,i clw.,1,1
lie was requesu'u u# wmu ........ .-..v
rise, when perhaps the affair could be settled in
an amicable manner. The gentleman and his
friend then left the room, and it was supposed
^ that they had gone out of the hotel: but, iu a
short time, the clerk heard the screams of a female,
and going into 'he entry saw the husband
running down the si:.i .? with his children, pursued
by their mother. He immediately went to
the lady's assistance and rescued three of them,
which he gave i,nto Lei charge. The husband
retained possession oi the youngest, .and was
going out the door, when the clerk caught it hy J
tlie clothes, but the father pulled it out of his
hands and run off with the child, which was
perfectly naked, its clothes having been torn
off in the affray. The servants ol the hotel,
; Summoned by the screams of the woman, purSued,
and chasing the man down Penn street,
isucceeded in overtaking him. The child was
j recaptured and handed hack to its mother, who
i still remains at the hotel.

nOVS III tUO poiiniry n.iv*.- jfvr(;i-ii ,-ii.v:u <i vnm y
jokes at the expense of one Haine Partington,
| and the Boston Post hns said some admirable
things i:i her name which have been copied far
snd wide. i:i this way many have become familiar
with the fame of that s mple-hearted old
ladv, who are ignorant of the circumstance
which gave her the notoriety she enjoys, and
many ethers go so far with their scepticism as
to esteem iter a sort of Mrs. Harris, whoso
name is merely a stalking-horse for the convenience
of newspaper wits. This is all a mistake.
There was a real Mrs. Partington, and
she owed her fame to the wit of Sydney Smith,
who in a speech on the Reform Dill at Taunton
in laiglaml referred to her as follows:
| "I do not mean to he disrespectful, hut the
attempts of the Lords to stop the progress of
I reform, reminds me very forcibly of the great
} storm of Si Imoutli, and of the conduct of the
i ovcellent Mir. Partingt<>u cn the occasion. In
| the wint t of IS*?I4. t icre set in a great flood
upon th it town, the title rose to an incredible
I height, the waves rushed in upon the houses,
I and everything was threatened will destine|
lion. In the midst of this sublime and terrible
storm, Dame Partington, who liVed upon the
bench, was seen j:t the door of her house with
mop and pattens, trundling her luop and
squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously
pushing way the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic
was roused. Airs. Partington's spiiit was
up; lint I need not tell you the contest was unequal.
The Atlantic Ocean heat Mrs. Partington.
She was excellent at a slop or a puddle,
hut she should riot have meddled with a
tempest. Oeiitlenien, be at your ease?be
quiet and steady. \ ou will beat .Mrs. Partingtorn"

way, which they found closed, they descended
to the cabin. They first came to the apart

it. Its inmate retained his former posi
tjon, and seemed to lie insensible to strangers.
I 11c was found to lie a corpse, and a gicen
I damp mould had covered his cheeks and fore.
