*' jmi?f i i HI?i The Press and Banner. Xiy IIu^Ii WUhoh. Wednesday, July 18, 1833. Mr. Dibble and Xr. Randall. Sf-mc time a^o, Mr. Plhblo, Congress ,u:ui from the cnaneston nnu unni^fuui-j; District, expressed to a reporter of the Columbia Register his intention to vote for Mr. Randall, * protective tariff man,, for Speaker, and, as we thought at thej time, Mr. Dibble seemed to express very j little regard for tbo wishes of the cousiit- ] iients whose sentiments it might reason-1 ?b!y be presumed a Congressman at "Washington would represent. This interview brought such a din abont Mr. I Nibble's cars th.it ho lias since then taken , to the writing of letters lo the Register .ar.d to the Xcr^s and Courier, and, while j lie seems to have a contempt for newspa-! porson general principles, in those letters lio certainly is more respectful, than he was at first, to the great mass of his con tltuents. ! Mr. Dibble isopp'.scd to mAViiis; n fight for a Democratic President on principle,! Jmt prefers to win bv the doubtful ex peewit of being a little of all things to all "men, and not much of anything to any-] i>ody,and Wonld take up the old wornout catch-words which have so often brought us defeat in the past. He would rliarge corruption against a!l the Republicans in goneral but more especially; -would he bring this charge against Republican office-holders, while he would 'claim a monopoly of the virtues for Democratic aspirants. Tn short, lie fears that if we go into the Presidential canvass with fixed and announced principles inscribed on our banners that we will insure a Democratic defeat in 188-f. There can be no doubt that tho tariff ^ncstio'n is the great question of the day, and ono which will absorb public attention from now until free trade is secured to this country, and it is no less( true that the political party which ^ias the moral courage and the principle to champion the anti-tarilf side^ of the question in sure to win in thslong run. The laws of trade and business, as! governed by the interests of the couutry,! demand that we have free trade. No ?pw Country ean be a manufacturing country. | New countries, that are sparsely settled,; must look to the farm and to the field asj their legitimate sourco of revenue. Older countries, densely populated with peo-l >>le who are compelled to work, but have! also wealthy citizens, who, through their laws of inheritance, still pos. *e?8 tho accumulations of centuries/ &re satisfied with from two to four per coiit. interest. Cheap money and an over-supply ot labor favor the developI I incut of tho manufacturing interests, lint in America, and especially in the South and the West, we are not ready for factories. The high into of interest: \vhicli our limited capital commands, and he scarcity of labor arc not conducive to ihe development of that kind of industry, and the capitalists of this country J; now that without a high protective tar-! thov could not declare sucli Myh divi-; dends on their s'ock. ? We think if tho Democratic party | "would command the respcctot the world, that it is time for it to declare n principle,; Vlear and specific, and in the future deal in fewer generalities, and make less pretensions to indefinable nothings. Let us I -declare for free traae, ana ugiu utc name , on this line, trusting in <jod and the juslice of our cause for victory in a Piesi-' ttential contest. A contest of this kind will bo attended by a final success,and we shrill by it have the pleasure obliterating the sectional, lines. -We will become a national party iightingfor a principle, in which contest it is earnestly to be hoped ihst the infer-! "jsal negro may be forgotten. We have liad enough sectional questions, and we liave had enough of the negro. Let us engage in a contest which must sor.ner or later give every man in this country a cheaper breakfast, and cheaper clothing,' and cheaper machinery and cheaper railroads. While Mr. Dibble affects to have very little respect for newspapers, we tnko it /or granted, that when the time comes for him to voto for Speaker that he will not vote against the well-known wishes of Jus constituents. His dings at the news-' }iapors will not be likely to cripple them very seriously, and he may yet live to iind out that the newspapers arc not greatly inferior to the average Congrcssfcnau. ?o : i Look to the Health of the Toim. Wo have been requested by some of *>ur citizens to ask the attention of the 1 town council to the impurity of the at- < tnosphero in some sections of our village. ' For this otTensi c condition of the air, I there must be a cause, and that cause, if I not removed, rs very likely to bring fe-' 1 ver, and that fever will bo certain to en-, A..n ? in rl/w+m-M' fillip AUli U M. - nnd funcnil contingencies, after which the pious obituary writer may be expected to go into exclamations about the "mysterious ways of Providence, which;' ore past finding out," cte. TJio plain nn-j varnished truth of tLo mattpr i<*, our premises are not properly cleansed, and .there are no myslor;cs at all, except that 1 so many of our citi7.cn* ON.'npf; sickness and death. We invito sickness by neglecting the plainest laws of health, and when sickness comes tho only wonder is, that anvbod3* gets well. The hot weather, the impure air, and doctor's doses are enough to kill his satanic majesty hi:naolf? if he should take the fover. Let it not bo forgotten that pig-pens, uncared-for V.ick lots, and rotting cal>-1 J>age, are tho principal causes of typhoid fever. The ground mirier all dwellings should be swept, and the air should beallowed free access below the fl >ors. The veil should be carefully guarded, and looked after, and the ground surrounding It should bo kept scrupulously clean. From the very nature of things, all tilth within ft certain mllus gravitate toward the bottom of the well. Milk cows should be furnished with tho best and cleanest water, pud these animals should ' lV>t be required to stand continuously in : a stable. They neod the sunshinoand; pure air. The milk from a cow which ticrer leaves its stable, should not go into! i...nfrMtmoh Thpsn nnimnls cntl- , not work miracles, and a cow which has tiono but impure air to breathe, and bad i svater to drink, cannot give healthy milk, j Let our citizens pay particular attention i to the cleanliness of their lots. To sweep! And clean the promises may save sickness j ?nd death, to say nothing of tho decency I nnd the plea-sure attendant upon having clean surrounding*. Cleanliness is next ! Co godliness. We sne bv our exchanges that oihor localities aro l>eing afflicted j with fever. This fact, and the hot weath-j er, admonish us to take precautions ogatust the pestilence that trav come to' our dwellings. Having said this much to onr citizens, generally, we would urge our town council to the importance of their exorcising j whatever power they may have to enforce j eanitary regulations. With proper pre- j caution we need not have fever or diph-I theria. Barbarous Craelty to Convicts. J Beoenily complaints were made to Su- j perJntendent Lipscomb while on a tour! inspection that the convicts leased had ! been cruelly treated. After his departure j /h>m camp, tho Captain in charge order- i cd the informers to bo severely whipped, because tbey had reported the barbarity which had been practiced upon them, win ik? cues* the action which yy in mo ?e?viw. ra.? Superintendent Lipscomb took when tho j matter reached his ears ? No. We know j you give it up. He did not order the] finite arrested'for trial, but asked that he be dismissed from the service. The newspapers are calling loudly for a repress of the wrcngs which have been per. pet rated, but we guess that it will all end lto newspaper gush, and hifalutin Enfc-j 3ibh. Wo <nnnot belie vo that the author-1 ilk* intend to lake any lejiil steps against j I ! 'A Reasonable Pica for Justicc ami! Merrv. 1 It may be remembered by some of tliw ! renders of the KcO'icc (buritr Hint Ihe ! mid !i<niiter brought uou n an ava' h;r.che on itself for the expression of *c!i-; i timeuts somewhat akin to the following. jTIitt hanging of 1 he thro? negroes at j , Green viile ?s referred to l?v the Cvuvwr,! | we think a discredit to li.>tl> the 13\ecu-; live and the .Judicial departments of the' j State, nml while wo sliil believe tin? re- J ! cent banging at Widhalla was nnjustifia-! i hie by the testimony as published in the! I Courier, we nre nevertheless ghul to see . ! tins evidence of a desire on the part ? I"! that paper to bo just and merciful to oth-, er sinners. Thrre can bo no doubt in our ! miud, at least, that the continued presence of six handled or eight hundred necroes in the State penitentiary is a rellee-. linn or. l!io inriv which enforces the most severe punishment for l!io most trifling offnnco*, and the Moody laws which hang ihe rtf rr.iiiKt for tlio burning of a house, "within the curtilage," or tl* stealing of a horse, should i?c erased from our statute books. Wo copy from t!ie Courier, as follows: I In fircenviPe within (he pist year three persons have been hanged fur arson and [ 1 hey? are iv>w two under sentences of death for murder, one-of whom hasap-pealed to the Supreme Court and the oilier was last week sentenced to bo hanged on the third Friday in August. In Union one is under son?en<'c to lie hanged for sir' son f>n tin* 10;h of August. Here we 'have iiad this year one executed for a most atrocious murder, and another is 1 sentenced to he hanged on the 10thot An-J just for arson. A 1111 m her have been executed and are under sentence of dentil in other counties of the Stale. Most of these ' parties? nil, sr> fur a.i we know, sitrc unr, (li'irc bccti convicted on circumstantial cvitlev CP. ~ While we have no doubt of the guilt ofj the parties trie:! here, and have no reason | to dou I it it elsewhere, still it is well] known we do not helievo in imposing the i deuth penalty except for murderand rapa. j As to murder, an eye for an eye, a tooth j f >r n too'h. a life for'a life, when it is taken I ; with premeditation. Rape is worse, being to the victim a living death and it j should l*1 punished with the death of the , perpetrator. Arson is different. II is a mere destruction of property, a dwelling house or a house within the curtilage. I When death does not result, it is a pceii- j niary loss to the owner. A man may break into a dwelling house at night and j steal a million dollars or more and it is i burglary, punishable Willi imprisonment i for life, or if he enters in daylight sin open ' hotiscuud steals a like amount it is grand ; larceny. l.ut if si man burns a dwelling house or a house within the curtilage of any value.it is punishable with death.1 The only difference is that one is a de-) struct ion of property, Attended with danger to life, the other a transfer from the: owner to the thief by force or fraud. It j may be said the danger to life makes a, wide diU'ereiiee, but if life bo not taken, j we cannot realize this distinction. A man may waylay 1110 public road by j shoot at yon or family ami seriously wound one or more ami lie can't ho hung;, j lie is guilty only of an assault with in-1' tent t?> murder, punishable by imprison-j metit. The itstcMit can make ho difference, then, and the old idea of a dwollinu 1 house being sa-rcd can't justify taking life for its ile>(ruction. We arc aware jj tli.it burglary and horse stealing were j punishable with death even since the war, and thai years ago in this State grand lar- j cony was likewise. We are aware, too, j that our views on this subject are notj. popular, but they surely smack of hu-j inanity, and believing the present law { can only he justified in iis severity from the frequency of incendiarism in the past,j we mention thein in the hope the law will be soon changed. j , , , : Our Aiken Iiretliren. It seems to us that tin editor of a good | newspaper is in an exceedingly small j< business, when quarelling at a brother J, editor for a failure to credit him with a | ten line paragraph, which any tcn-vear j old school boy might have written. The |' Press <iu<l Ihtn.ie' makes it a rule to ;, to give every newspaper credit for every jj line of theirs which it may use, hut, j like all falliblecieatures, we sometimes1 omit to give the Proper credit, and at j1 other times we have unwittingly given j improper credit. This has occurred!1 oftener with us in reference to the Aiken || newspapers than with any others of our jj exchanges and our brethren seem to bo Jexceedingly semitivo about a matter of j so small a consequence that very many I newspapers would pass unnoticed. A j j week or two ago, we copied a littlo para- j\ graph of no particular merit, from the h Aikm Journal an<l Review and fromt< carelessness, or oversight, we credited it j totho Aiken Recorder. This excited and stirred the soul of the Aiken Journal and Review to its greatest depths, and consequently -over one-half of the editorial | space of that paper last week was occu- ? pied in redressing its wrongs, and in ad- |c ministering wholesome advice to us. |( That wo .should h ive erricved our neigh-|i bor, we arc sorrj*. That ho has offered jt! wholesome instruction, we aro certainly ?'i under a ureat debt of gratitudv. For our own part, we would say this to j' nil our brethren ol the press. They arc Li perfectly welcome to anything which!* may be found in our paper. If they can j; use any article or paragraph of our.*, wej^ shall be happy for them to do so, whetkev I 'hey give credit or not. We are always!^' pleased to see our pieces on the journalistic sea. If they go as orphans, without a j J' father, we watch their career with pleasure, j s If their paternity is acknowledged, andiv we gf.t credit, we are still more gratified, j but if any piece of ours should re-appear * in another newspaper, without credit and [' leaded as original matter in that paper, i then wo are most highly honored. ; Our brethren are welcome to anything.> in ourcoiunnis, with or without credit, as J, may best servo their purposes. And if " nnybody should credit our pieces to the,f Medium, we shall not complain, and [ wo are at a loss to know how any man,; ? - - i.. .. i- ii with sulllcicni intelligence 10 nm :i uccciii , tiewspiper can cor.tract his soul to that \ in(i 11 ittc.^sim:il degree as would allow!), him to growl and grumble about a matter > which is so trivial, so small as to bo of no !, conceivable consequence to anybody. ??

If those who cannot j do otherwise than misrepresent their j neighbors, would stick closer to a recital j of facts, wo would have less reason to! complain. We stand by our article on ; i factories, but do not propose to follow;' those who would misrepresent and ma- 'I lign us, because we do not see as they do.' { If we erred, jvhy not state facts and an-jl swer our article? It seems to us tlmt ? aoin of our brethren aro very willing to!

It is hut. another and j plainer way of saying that cleanliness i< next v l?> godliness, and that there Is no civilization of dirt?that civilization is a delicate plant! which requires pure air and warm sunshine.j and flourishes in the midst of decency and J T comfort 11! Apply this teaching to our negro laborer, j Many persons have despaired of eiviii/.ingi hlin.and it. is a question that deserves the i1 consideration of thoughtful men. whether' jj any race situated us the negro is. could reach j a high order of civilization. A man who (h j taken from the gutter f >r the purpose of he-i<1 Ing civilized must, fiest reccive wholesome, fl food; then, decent ciothin*:: and, alter t hat, j comfortable shelter. Without these three 1 conditions, even the chri-tian religion would 11 do little towards civilizing him. Thceivili- c zatlon of the negro is only two hundred and , fifty years old ; and the sun never looked up- j ? tin a race thai advanced farther in the same't length of time, under so unfavorableeondU! , lions. Hut he still presents a perplexing;, problem. i A few days ago the Commissioner of Agrl- I culture said, in an interview, that white Im- *j migrants to our State demand better food and > better houses than the negro laborer Is aeeus- j" tomed to. This shows that a people with a ( fi llionsand years of rac.1 culture to back thein;t will not submit to the conditions thrust upon , our laboring population; and it shows, too, j " lbut the negro has not been accorded a per-! ii felly filr oppo"lunity of hem-ring hlm-elf. i a There arc persons who think that dirt, and in- j decency are conditions normal to the negio;!fi hut these same persons think that hogs are It especially fond of rotten apples. The truth of the matter Is, tliat they have nc^cr seen the I comfort experiment tried upon the negro. Just | " us they have never ollercd the hog any other is tvind than rotten apples. The negro, like the I f, hog, take* what he can get?it rotten apples, J r>r no apples at all. * j11 The question might well be asked, why w should we not give our negro laborers better [ food and comfortable quarters, instead of offering them as inducements to immigrant la-< n tior. We believe thai, as a rule, the lahdown-1 cr who has good tenement bouse", gel the best' ( tenants, anil is nhle to keep them. Our coun-1 try would be improved by improving the s houses in which labor dwells. These houses | diouid be so arranged as to keep out the win- 0 ler's cold ; they should have class to let in the n light, when they are closed against d.sagrc* a-! s lile weather; they should be so constructed us < to give the inmates some inducement to keep ! j, iheincleauand comfortable.

CitU"n.] We regard it a-< a most happy incident that | th" representative* of the sentiment of our: sister state. South, Carolina, aval'ed themselves of l!icopp>i>'tunft.v to heaniong usat the imimi-nt when tin* exponents of North Carolina sentiment and intelligence were assembled in lh.-ir annua1 meeting. We believe the results will he fur reaching. Memory goes hack a long way In recalling the career of the two states. Originally one Carolina, widencss of separation between in-1 fant settlements, the growth with theirgrowth i of diverge and somewhat antuionl-tlc Interests, and possibly ino:-e than all other causes, the dlll'cri'iire in original elements of population, prepared the way for I he separation Into (tie two colonics which came easily to pass in 17.11. Henceforth their pathways were not together. South Carolina with its line ports of Charleston, and with its proiit-ude rice and indigo culture, grew rich and lusty. North Carolina, shut out. to large di-gree from foreign trade, with no leading staple In agriculture, with its settlements remote from e:ich other,grew, but grew in Its Notation, and in Its detachment from the allairs of lis sister colonies. The alienation from South Carolina grew almost eompletP. Th" once united body, separated into Its two parts, stood with I hack to back Instead of luce to face. And it is truth to say, that, with the passage ol time, the feeling < ? aversion did not weaken. We. In North Caro'lna, believe that our brethren in South Carolina had learned to look down upon ns wnii ;i naugniy cmiuc-cnsinn, nun with tlio ituiet priilo which has always been characteristic of North Oorolinans, wont our way without caring for the opinions of our neighbors. Unt there wore many in both States who knew that those feelings were unnatural. Politically, there were hoiulsof sympathy between the Sta'cs that continually hadoeca-j slon for expression. Socially, there were ties I continually formed and continually forming which went to male indissoluble alliances of affection. Commercially. there were uncontrollable typogiaphlcal feature* which deHneil courses of trade between large secMons of the twoSlates, and theopportuiilty was patiently waited when better relations might he established. That, opportunity came when thoi modern systems of intercommunion were; made available. The moment it was demonstrated that ongineeiinsr skill could defy river j and hill and mountain, that a line of trade or travel could be ma!'e to sro straight to Its riiark in contempt. of barriers which had opposed or controlled the primitive modes ?>f transportation, it was seen thai new fields were thrown open, new otijectsalt dnahle.and ' new and vast enterprise made praetieahie. No two commonwea!ths Paving IIIi*?s ; thus afforded an* more interested inufuilly in j making them available; and no portions of tiiese eoiiiuionwealMis are more imnvdiately j concerneil than Western North Carolina, ami i ?well?the whole of South enroll en. For with the coa?-t of that Slate, and tills trans-; montane country, the building of ihe railroad j al any point through ihe mountain Is but the; development of an Idea that lias been work- j ina in the brain and trnnwing al the heirt of< the seaside South Carolina for more than halfa century. A wistful longing found Its partial gratification long ago in llie summer ! settlements in Henderson and Itnneombe and j Transylvania.

They haveseen i the direction to which aspiration expands,,; and they will go home, we believe, with a bet- j tor understanding of us with a keener ap-i prcclation of th-ir Interests, with generous: purpose to maKc good icciing tfo nnii'i in i hand with imprest, and to brim: about that j homogeneity.
