IC. :3Uas DAY._JuicE ii1;,"6l "A Voter" is received. a ifd.Efl .be it tended to netxt we k - ' On the'1st inst. sonie heavy showers -df rain fell in thi/Diitii The first shower was -accompan by hail stones, which descended dck airek kars in Vanombrmood" The stones were not as large as hen eggs, as editors generally, would say, but they eertainly wyere of a very good size. The %weather- has been very cool ever since. On Monday evening the 1st inst. a lec ture on Vegetable Physiology, was de livered in the Court House, by James Terry, Esq., befure the Edgefield Philo. -sophical Society. The lecture was an able one. We were pleased to see among the large audience who were present, several Planters of the District. fSwme new members werd added on that evening, to the Society. We will gtblid tbe ueetare -in our next. The Nar:ion Meeting in fRamburg. We publi to-day, the proceedings of the tate Harrison meeting. which assembled at Hnmmtrg. We would have done so befoie had our limits permitted. Though we discent entirely, from the views of the meeting, far he it from u to set the sealof .condeination upon the respectable persons who composed it, because they have given en independent, and doubtless, at honest expression of their opinions on the great political questions of the day. They have a right to declare their political preferences, different as they may be, front those of the mass of their fellew citizens. For the benefit of our readers at a dis tance, we beg leave to state, that the Har rison meeting at Hamburg, respectable as it was, did not represent the opinions of The great majority of the People of Edge field District, or of the Upper Country generally. These with few exceptions, are Democratic in their faith, and eschew larisou and Whiggery in every shape. We are indebted to the Hon. John C. Calhoun for a Public Document. We are indebted to the Hon. F. W. Pickens. for a copy of the "Address of the Democratic Central Committee, to the People of Kentucky." We have received frmm the Hon. S. I. Butler. a Public Document called a "Me morial of the Committee of Tobacco Plan ters." FAaxEa's ADvocArE.-Three numbers of this valuable little paper has been re ceived by us. We recommend it to the Farmers of our District who are disposed to obtain agricultural infornation, to assist them in conducting their farms to the best advansage. The Advocate is pulished tn ice a month at Jamestown, N. C. by Mr. John Sherwood at the low price of one dollar per anunm. Subscri ptions re cived at this office. NEW PAPEuA.-We have received the 1st number of the Yorkville Compiler, published, at Yorkville, S. C. by Mr, John E. Grist, at $2 per aunnm, half yearly in advance. The Compiler is neutral in politics. It is a neat printed paper, and we hope it will receive a liberal patronage. The lion. Edwvard J. Black, member of Congress frotm Georgia, has addressed a Circular to the People of that State. The Whigs whom he abandonted, denounce him of course. *The-following article, taken from thme Charleston-Courier of the 20th M*Ig is published by request of a Subscriber. We have also copied an article from the Cam den Journal, signed -Kershaw " in answer to 'A Union Man." John P. Richardson and the Camden meeting.-There are many people who are niot Mr. Richardlson's enemies, even in n' political sense, nor willing to detract from b is good qualities, that never will be re conedled to the way ii which he is brought out for- Governor. .There is a radical vice in'pjsming off even a good thing by a false name. Now, Mr. Richardson is palmed off upon the Union party as their candi date, and to the Nullifiers as their ward or protege. He is neither one nor the other. The Union party do ntot want him. If they had had a choice, it would have been very strange in them to overlook Chatn. D. Johnson, for one who is certainly neith er tn older nor a better soldier. We all krnow who nominated Mr. R.-a small clique-very respectable, good men-but still a small set-of Nullifiers. But who accepted him in the name of the Union party? it is easy to say who did not. It would be easy to run over the names . of the Union men at Columbia last winter, & when we had got through with those that had nothing to do with this self constit'i ted.. marinating committee, every one would think that the whole party was named already. Except the Senator from Christ Church, and one, or perhaps t wo, of the younger portion of the house, no body' has been heard of that acknowledges thiis work. But it is incontestible that some lenders of the Union party prefer Judge Johnson to any other person, for the next Governor. H ow do the Camden people, then, undertake to proclaim Mr. Richardson as the candidate of the . nion party, who have a candidate of their own in the Gield, or the choice of the Jul. li~rswho a fa aswecan judge, would tWaeer Mr. Hlammnod, If they bad airy lib 0 f choice. 7 *one word, Mr. R. has a right to as 4fteto office. His frieids-have a right 16 say-every thing that they en ;to rcditn mend him, ex.cept that which they seem bent on saying. va': that he is the candid dte'of the Union .party or has their gz4f tmuace. Ifr the 'very small set that pelt1im in ndminationlihVe friends-' toeet him, let them iave the credit '? i6t, -t dictation is aliitys disagreeable to freenrea; and 'fro wiy 1er'of men to be duped into -believing that ithey like what they realy denot like,is teetdiscreditable even for those that have a veMy moderate portion of self respect. A UNION MAN. From the Camden Journal. Ma. E Dirtr;-In the CharlestonC*uo rier of the $Ist May is to be seen a com munication over thesignature of "A Uni on man," who, it seems, is very much nettled with the late meeting here, recom mnending Col. J. P. Richardson for Gover nor. He speaks of Col. R. as having been palmed offon the Union Party as their candidate, and upon the Nullifiers as their warwsrd protege. If such is the case, t is roi attributable to his friends of both part-ies lately convened at this place for the purpose of recommending him to the State as a suitable person for its suffrages, combining as he does. a high moral char aerer, wth what we believe to be the po litical doctrine of the State at this time. It is an old saying, that what is every bo dy's business is no one's-nand consequen't. ly, it could not 6e expected, that at this time, prricularly when olh party divi sions are extinct, that the. Uuie Paty, like Lazarus, should he resusfr'tzd Tor the mere purpose of ackrnewodging 01. Richard-on as their candidait. This fiss always been the act of the personial and political friends of the individual himseif, but in this particular mta"sce o C.L Rich ardson *as een pecaliatly favored in be ing brought out by gentlemen of the oppo site party, who are now united with a ma jority of the old Union party under the name of the Admiuistration and Sub Treasury party, of which he is a firm and indefatigable supporter. So far, no ohjec tion has been raised by either of the old parties to this recommendation, except by a few Bank and would-be -great men,alias lawyers, who are more than politically anxious in behalfor Chancellor D. John. son. "A Union Man" says, if the Union Party had had a choice,it would have been very strange in them to overlook the above named gentleman for one who is neither atn or older a better soldier. I would be the last to attempt in any way to derogate from the high character of Chaucellor Johnson, but on the contrary, am now, and I trust will always be ready to sustain, when ne cessary, his acknowledged moral worth and public services, hoth or which have been overlooked, not by his former politi cal associates, but by his professional friends,-a fetw aspiring lawyers. %n ho are anxious and ready to deprive tie State of his usefuless, for their own advancement They are the tverlookers and the lookers out tlo. It is lint the Union Party or the Neellification Party that are to be saddled with that sin... All who know Judge John son let, andi. appreciate him most. are very far from wishing to dispense with his present usefulness, by throwing him, thro' she Governorship. from tIe hetch. They are not all the Judge's trie friends who have dragged him before the people. It is a "small cliqie-very respectable, good men-but still a small set"-of lawyers, who are by no.means ignorant of the va cancies likely to accrue fim his election. I'll admit that "some leaders of the Union party piefer Judge Johnson." not hecatse he was of their party, lnton account of his present political opinions and the reason above stated, somei or whom leave bee's onm the look ouet for samte time, and have acted1 no inconsiderable part at the late Log Cabin rn'eetig ins that city. "A Uduen an" asks "how do the Camden people uindertake to proclaim Mr. R. as the e-andidate of the Union Party?" They have notf proclaimed hhhi such, but have simply recomarvended him, Andt that too, in A sWiria of tempromise, believing that it neight be the eeenns- or unsiig us more eknsely in un esdeavor to uphold the present adintistration against all who casn oppose a Northern 'man with South ern feelings. E(ER$HAW. Extinct of a letter to tee ?illbWs of the Charles tea Coerier datvx Si. Lutis. May 11. The Mississippi river bhlw the juinction of the Ohio is very high, and when we came up. was rising fast; the rise comes from the Ohio and its trihutaries, and the river (Mississippi) is said to be higher than was ever known. I saw whole plantations entirely covered with *hler', many which soon would be, and I have no doabt ir the rise cobtinues a few- days, that the whole, or nearly the wvhole country ont the river, betwen the Ohio and New-Orleans, will bie inundated. if the rise from the Missouri takes place earlier than tommon, which it is thought will be the tease, there can be no dhoubi of it; amnd I hitikt the city of Nbw Orleans nmust be intnhdated alsn. 'the town of Cairo, at the motsth of the Ohio, is entirely covered with water, not it ttbd of land to be seen, and if the rise should continue much longer, I should juedge every house would be swert away. I 'hall stay here a few days, and theti take a steamer for Louisville, anid (God willing) shall be at home about the first week in June." Mississippi Riter.--The New Orleans True Amerscthn says, it believes all fears of an inundation may be dismissed. The latest reports from abovre -rept'esent the upper streams as generally falling. Here the Missiusippi has scarcely risen a foot during'the last month, and will soon commence receeding, unless we are very much mistaken. The Picayune says passengers from np the country say that strong probability still continues of a great overflow. .Wfany plan tations in the vicinity of Vicksburg, Grand Gulf, and above those places, are already partially under water, and much damage has been donte tri the eropus. The Bulletin says by th steamer A mer ican from Guncheta, we learn that the river is within three feet of the higbrh of of '28,anid-Isas rapidlyr rising.

Great Freset.-A few weeks ago we were called upon to notice the "rising wa ters" its the Oconee, owing to the heavy rains that had fallen a few days prevIous to the freshet. At that time, we sted that. with but one exception, .the waters of our river had never beetn so high. git we have now to record that during the past week, we witnessela soene never h lore presented to the eye of the oldeet in habitant of our. city..

The low grounds of the surremunding country have been literally flooded. Branches were converted into rapid creeks, and creeks into rivers of the first class. Great injury has beena done to plantations and farms, that, a few dlays ago, promised an ab'jn dant harvent to the industriotus tiller of the soil. Horses, hogs, mules, and every spe ciesof stock, have heeni carried away by the flood and destroyed. The amount of damage that has been done hy this freshet we cannot at present even surmise ; suf ficc it to say, -thae it has done more than all put together that have hitherto pre ceded it. Accounts crowd in upon us from all quarters of the destruction oef property. it is fearful to think of. We regret that we cannot give to our readers a more de tailed account of this afflicting dispenta tion of Him. who orders all things for the best.--Jouraal. MOBILE, May 25. From Jaauia.-We learn rrom the papers brought by Capt. Bearing of the brig Carroll, that the Island is in a great state of excitement i'n consequence of the mosements of th'e A bolitionists.

We have a copy df the law now he fore ms oertified by the Secretary of the State of Ohio, and t'he name of Williair Henry Harrison is recorded among thost who voted for It, lAut let the act speal for-itself, and then the reader canl then set how exactly the above articles describes it The most material part of the section re ferred.to is as followst . - "i itfaither etnetftf.,that irhen "Il person shall be imprisoned e',thiron eecu tion' or otkerese, for @he-non-payment oif ine orem.., or both, ishalsh he;U*ul fo .fhe sheriR'of" the onntn nsell it snel person as a servant to nny person .wj tIhit the Staie. who will pay.the 'wholeannoum dng. for the shortest period of servicet ci which ralie public notice shall 11 Itven a least ten days- ant upon such sale being effected, the Sheriff shall give to the pur chaser a certificate thereof, and delive over the prisoner to him, frot which time the relation hietween such purchaser -am the prisoner shall he that of maatr and ser eaqt,. uanil the time of servitude expires.'
