Yes! Amos Kendal, born ;d bred in an
Abolition State-having never owned a
slave,and though a vile Abolitionist himself,
like to be Martii Van liuren's noiiiee,
this man is brought before the people of
South Carolina as ai examile of purity.
honesty and veracity- the fountin whence
one party draws all its truths; whilst Gei.
Green and others, who have nobly defen
ded the rights of tile South for many years,
are denounced as the vile and prolligato of
the Union.
Something was said about "particular
religious denmuninutions," which from tie
garbled accounthof the leared Trio, would
seem perfect nonsense to one0 who did not
hear rhe -remarks of the speaker. The
correct smtement is this, it was su)posed
that young mien would adhere to the poli
tical faith of their atcestors ani friends
'till arrived at years of imatutrity, hut if
upro deliberteio itvestigimioti ol the su bject,
they then dil'ered witti them, it was their
duty and their privilege to change their
fai i; and this wasillustrated by reference
to the religious sects of the country.
The Speaker is, moreover. accuaed of at
temptintg to at ouse tile dutltini party feel
ings of the Union micn antl Nuilliers. This
we are bound to say, is incorrect; the speak
er has iany persoual f'riwnds ofrihe Umon
party in the district, anit could have nea
ther interest nor depgu to etleet in beveriug
the honds of friendship between the two
pnrties-But his object was(and he certainly
did accomphsli it) to shiew tle iconisisien

able. We admit they were muco louder,

"Madaine Velicie Manget had charge for
nearly two years of the Departintuts of' French
and Drawing in the Greenfield High Schoil
fir Young Ladi-s, of which I was then Princi
pal. During that time she acquitted herself
in all respecis as a we I qialified atnd conscien
tiously fathfln teacher. Her Crayon Draw
ms nioreuthan rivalled the Lithographad Prints
from which they were copied, and for which
they were fretInetly mistaken. She possesses
too, a fine literary taste, whieb enables her to
apprreiate and to point ont tie beatmies of the
