EGEFIELD C. I TuMAar, AUGUST 13, 1840. The counnication of "A Caroliatian" is unavoidably )stponed this week, on account of our abasenk and the sickness of sone of otnr I hands. It 11 certainly he published in our next. We have frstently heretofore. at the request of individualspuiblishaed essays from other newspapers co-eying political opinions entire ly opposed to o own. The result lis been to exclude inanarticles which we desired to present to our rders, and to bring into ques tion the politicabenring of our paper. We shall continne tfublish cheerfully snch origin al cotnuticatio, as may be well written and decorous on all sif of the prominent political questions of the ay, tmt hersafier we shall make our own sections fromt -her news papers.

Another present of Peachs.-An elderly lad y a few days since, presented us, some delicious peaches. Our montia even now waters. when we think of the "glorious" eating that we had. Ileaven bless the old lady for her charitable deed! Pulic .fecting.-A ncetinig of several hun dred citizens took place at Cartle 's Spiring. near Duntonsville, Fdgueleld District, on that 8th inst. A fine barbecue was prepared, and was graced by the p esence ora number of la dies. The several candidates for the Legisla ture were called on to declare their sentiments on the Presidential question and the currency. All responaded anid declared themselves its lavor of the Administration, the Sub-Treasury law, and a reform of the present banking system - The meeting was also addressed by Judge But ler, who expressed his approbation ofthe course of 31r. Van Bnren upon Abolition, and the fn dependent Treasury. He declared his wil. lingness for South Carolina to vote for him, on the Presidential election. The Whigs complain loudly, about the purse and stcord being placed in the hands of the President. What a commentary on their own conduct? In our anticipated difliculty with Great Britain, the Whig Representatives in Con gress, with a unanimity unaexampled. placed both the swoid and the purse in the hands of Mr. Van Buren, who made no use of either. Would the Vliig military candidate for the Presidency, have exhibited such wise modera tion? Would not the hero of cotuiaiLs bat ties, have burned to signalize his desperate val or, in an onslaught upon the British I Would he not have plunged his hanads freely, into the money bags of the nation ? Fortunate is it for the country, that lie was not put to the trial. Some years since. Mr. Clay made the memo rable declaration, that lie would rather see this country visited by tear, pcstldence and famine, than to be governed by a Military Chieftain as President. le and his party, from that tite to the present, have bestowed every contumeli ons epithet upon that real warrior, Andrew Jackson. Since the nominatian of that second rale hero.

Amaong othaer things, he spoke of a National Batnk. As mi:ght be supposed, lhe advocnaed the policy of its adoption. If Mr. Clay. the frietnd and adviser of Gen.
