STell as not that there ezists no-pure pa triotism-it dwells in o bosom ofahat old soldier of the Revolutgm, and neither age nor the ingratiiende of th- country he fought and bleil to make free, can ever extingmish it. We say the ingratitude of hi- nctuntry! Is it not so! Sirty dollars a year its all' that his country gives itn mainin thent cs worst-out snidiersof liberty inl their feeble old age. Though ot a mian of educatiot, nor or reiinement, in the ordinary neccepIta ,ion of that term, yet lie alluded to this meagre pension with a delicacy and puthas that re.lly made us blush for the niggail spirit of Carillina. -'Sir. (said he.) I anm now getting too ale to work for my sup port. and this pension is two small for me to live on. do you think if I was to petition the Legislature, they. woubl increase it!" It was a piainful question, but candor ob liged us to tell him, that his petition would probably be treated with neglect; hut still we urged him to try it. "Ah, Sir." he continued. "there are very few ofus now, and we are very ild; I tlink thiey might afrd now, as there are sofew, to support us. the little time we have to live?" We thought sa too. and for once wished we were a merther of the Legislature, that one vote at least might be given to smooth the short path of life that remains liar these old patriots to tread 'ere they reach it-s termirsatiiin. and the grave itace them forever oeyon.d the reach of that bounty, which it grateful country should rejoice'to bestow.

We have for sonetime looked in vain. for the wther and older journals of South Carolina to sipneak as it were from the house lip with trumpets respecting the position which tour own Staite occupies in the Fed eral Union. But it seems that all, or near ly so, have been so deeply interected in the polittcs of the tiay, that they have forgotten one thing, tha' which helongs to hotne. Therefore. as we keep aloof from politics. we will take a glatce at a few thin,.t at home, for the present, believing that al though we are young, our patrous will not cast a reflection towari is, that we are travelling on forbidden ground, We go' forborne and its interest. We live in a commercial city. and we breathe the whole some air ofa gallant atdl noble State. whose currency is held higher than that or any State in the Union. Our merchants have enouth to diot with the busine- of the lay, without telling to the wnrld their advanta get. It is then the interest of the pr4s.to spread before the world our internal affaits' the press supports the merchants, and the merchants should- ufhold the press. If both do not pull ote way, the weaker niust fall. But to our subject.

He a was handed over to the inspector of Pnlice 11 on the 4th. by the Sheriff, to be by him 0 escored to the Province line. 0 The Montreal Herald, and the Montreal Courier both indulge in many bitter remarks upon this occasion. It is very natural that the Canadians sould feel highly incensed at the conduct e of this man'Grogan. who, as we nuder. r stand formerly bore a very good character. 0 but of late a had one. Prior to the late insurrection in Lower Canada, lie lived t near the Vermont'frontier, but during that 81 insurrection his property was burned, and i tie himself was driven into the American lines.-from whkich he sallied, in a spirit of revenge, to burn and destroy the houses and property or the Canadians on the oth er sile of the line. The Canadians have therefore good cause to detest him. and if what they allege be true, of which ibtre I is not mnuch doubt, he certainly deserves punishinent from somebodv for snch crimes We are glad indeed ih'at this bone of contention between the two countries, is taken away.-N.

The Whip were confiden t of success in this State, as will he seen by the following extract rmm the National Intelligence, the Whig organ at the seat of the general Government, only a few days before the election took place.
