R. G. mothers Read This. "It was his privilege t, have a most esti mable mother, endowed with a superior un derstanding, which had been cultivated and improved by an exce'lent encation and sub sequent reading; and who, with conside.-ble natural aequirenents, manifested a corstant sense of the importance of religion. "This affectionate and conscientious par. ent anxiously instructed him, from his infan cy, in the Holy Scriptures, and in the princi ples of religion, according to the best of her abilities, a duty which.was subsequently well repaid by her son, who became the happy and honored instrument of imparting to his be loved Mother clearer and more enlarged --vieivs of divine truth, than were generally prevalent during the last generation. It scorns highly probable that the seeds of piety were then sown, which in :a future period, and un der circnmstances of a providemi'ionul nature, were destined to produce a rich and abund. an! harvest.

The Deacon's Vision, OF, "WHERE DO LAWYERS GO To?" It was Court time in W -, and the place was crowdcd to its utmost capacity. The jolly host of the Black Bear rubbed his hands and stroked his well developed waist coat, as room after room was filled. The bar-room was as usual well stocked with cus tomers, and frequent were the calls for mine host's liquors. A crowd was congregated in the immediate vicinity of the fire, and seem ed in a happy state of mind collectively. Jest and repartee were bandied from one to another, and mirth provoking atoric's were told. The chief talker, however, was a smart dapper lawyer, who had gained a ease that day, therefore seemed to think himself'some thing considerable.' He had a smart saying for every one, and few escaped his jest. His principal victim, however, wan Deacon Jones. Many stories he told about deacons, and inquired if Jones was the deacon, who when elected to that high office, was so over joyed that when he arrived at home happen ing to meet his cow, that he threw his arms round her neck, exelaiming: "Oh. Nanny ! you are no common cow, now, you're a deacon's cow," and other ques tions of like import. The Deacon stood it pretty well, and bore the laugh like a martyr. At length he said he had a story to tell and demanded a hear ing. Silence was obtained through the ex ertions of the lawyer, who was ovorfdyed hit the thought of getting a story from the deacon. " You see, Mr. Lawyer," began Jones, "last summer when the cholera was round. T catehed it. It went mighty hard with me I tell ye, so that they give me up and I bid my family good bye. and I made up my mind to die only as an honest man and a Christian can. I hope when your time comes that you can do the same; but I'm afraid ! afraid !" and the deacon shook his head solemnly, "Well, you see I did'nt exactly die, but I came pretty near it. I went off into a trance.' "In a trance!" exclaimed the lawyer. " Yes, in a trance." "That was just what I was coming to. I thought the angel Gabriel came to my bed. side and raised me up, and earried me throurh the sky, until we stood before the gate of Heaven." "Then I thought the angel turned to me and said, 'Mortal, you are brought here to see some of the glories of Heaven, and mis. cries of Hell; then you will return and re. join your friends on earth, to abide there i a short season, then you will return tc SHeaven, and partake of the happiness of the -elect." S" Then wve entered the gates, and my carn -were saluted with sounds of melody ant Bpraise. But I won't attemipt to describe ail I heard and saw. The angel was very comn munientive and readily answored aill my qucs tions. Wishing to know about a few of m3 friends who had gone before me, I question ed him concerning them. Some he called ti his presence, and at the name of some h significantly shook his head. I inquired fo Squire Grasper. The shake was repeated -Supposing lhe misunderstood me,!I again in quired. Another shake." '" He wvas a lawyer," said the angel, "wa: he not ?" -"Yes," said I. - "We have no lawyers hero," was the re ply. p A - burst of laughter went up froma thi il whole company, and even the lawyers them a selves participated therein. The dencot a continued : d "We then left Heaven, and passing thro' e dark cloud entered the confines of Hell. WV t paused at the gate and knocked. The doe swung slowly back and we entered.

"Why he must b there; he is not in Heaven." s, "lHe was a lawyer I believe1" said Satar 'a uvcs" said I "Ah! he is not here. We had so many lawyers sent here, that with their pleas, de murrers, motions, affidavits, iudictments, &c. miy prerogatives were in danger, and I was obliged in self defence, to banish them from my kingdom !" "Thanking his Highness for his courtesy, we teft. I returned to earth and conscious ness, and ever since then have been ponder. ing on the question, " where do lawyers go to ?" Peal after peal of laughter greeted the conclusion of the deacon's narrative, and the little lawyer was dumb. - Next morning he left as he could not answer the question, " where do lawyers go to ?" Hlow TO MAKE A FonTUNE.-Take earn estly hold of life, as c:pacitated for, and des tined to a high and noble purpose. Study closely the mind's bent for a labor or pro fession. Adopt it early, and pursue it steadi ly, never looking back to the turned furrow, but forward to the new ground, that ever remains to be broken. Means and ways are abundant to every man's success, if will and action are rightly adapted to them. Our rich men and our great men, have carved their paths to fortune and fame bey this eter nal principle---a principle that eain'nt fail to reward its votary, if it be resolutely pur sued. To sigh or repine over lark of inheri tance, is unmanly. Every mran should strive to be a creator instead of inheritor. He should bequeath instead of borrow. The human race, in this respect, want dignity and discipline. It prefers to wield the sword of valorous fo-efathers, to forging its own weapons. This is a mean and ignoble spirit Let every man be conscious of the God in him, and the providence over him. and fight his own good lance. Let him feel that it is better to earn a crust, than to inherit eaffers of gold. This spirit of self nobility, once learned, and every man will discover within himself, under God the elements and capaci ty or wealth. He will be rich, in self-re source. and can lift his face proudly to meet the n'oblest among men.-N. Y. Sun, LONG AND RoTTEN WITH MANURE --Were we not g ided;bygxrpp. per s e shuld'be led to imagine there would not only be a saving of the ammonial silts, phosphates, etc., by ap plying manure fresh to the soil, but that soils would be equally benefitted by being thus treated. Not so. The chemical action of the manure will he equally elfi. cacious on light and heavy soils, but this is more than counteracted by injurious mechanically action. While unferment ed dung will prove beneficial to clay, half rotten dung will be efficacious to soils of a medium texture, and rotten dung to our light ones. Decomposed farm yard manure is no better adapted for every soil than one man is adapted for every profession.

According to promise made in our last number,' punish below a brief sketch of th ' ddress delivered by Hon. D. Wallac -the 7th inst. The speech was deliva?~ in the Court House, and though no ce had been previous lv givedta large her of persons were in attendance, wb ned to the speaker with profound a ution, and frequently evinced their ap ation by repeated bursts of applau - He commenced his address, by statin that he would not at tempt to diseuss. . wrongs inflicted up on the South by Government of the North. Upon th ranch of the sub juct the argume is exhausted. The question before: iVes to the remedy which must be r rted to redress these wrongs. It is of .utmost consequence that the people of outh Carolina should understand their e position. In refer ence to the wroni which we suffer, and those which are' neatened, it may be said there is htW opinion among the people of Sout rolina. We have have arrived atet oint when we must determine th od resistance. There are three a n. es which present themselves to our: ideration--seces sion, civil war, o bmission. He re garded the latter asimpossible. The people of South ains can never be so unjust to them and their posteri tv as to submitto honor and degra dation. There s, then, the two alternatives, see und civil war, and we must cho between them, for by one of these s we must resist or submit. Tdi civil war in the Union, is to tuk~. rips for the pur pose of overthrow e Government by violence and blo id.= Secession may be peaceable; if not -peaceable, it will not be our' t that of the Gov ernment which to degrade and ruin us. He beli vonld-be effl et ual, and t. ogy hieV we can -secure,ounr k et- peo pleo It is due to ourselves, and to the cause we have so ifh at hea-t. that the plain truth should be spoken The contest in which we are engaged is not of our seeking. We have preferred peace and tranquility-they have been denied us. The aggressions of which we complain and which have created such deep dis content.in the public mind have been forced upon us, and in repelling them we resort only to the law of self~preser vation, which nature herself has stam ped upon every heart. We are not resprisihle for the perils which surround us. We cnmiaot allay the excitement it is hevond our power. It is not a sud den elullition of feeling, which will cease with the passing hour; it is, in fact, a revolution, moral, social, and political, and we must prepare to resist the storm, or it will sweep over us in an irresistible torrent, and over our country with desola tion. This is the alternative presented, and we cannot evade it. We have now no check upon the despotic power of the Goernment of the North. Our delega tion in Congress is powverless to protect s, much so as if we were without any representation in the National Legisla ture. If Congress,. at its next session, were to pass a law emancipating every African slave in the Southern States, to what measure could we resort to save ourselv'es from such a violation of rights, except to one of those suggested-seces -sion or civil wari The veto power given to the President by the Constitution is virtu ally ab~rIgated. Tlhe war commenced upon that check upon the dominant wvill 1oi the majority, by Mir. Clay, in the Son ate, in 1841, has, in eff'ect, resulted in a repeal of that clausejof the Constitution. The will of the majority is now the law, fand the Government is now converted into a despotism as despotic as that of Russia. Gen. Taylor was elected upon a virtual repudiation of the veto power. He declared, in his letter of acceptance of the nomination for the Presideney, Sthat lhe should regard the action of Con gress as an expression of the public good will, and any measure passed by that -body should meet his approval. Thue onily barrier which the Constitution interposes betweenl us and despotism is thus broken down. It w~as the last foot hold of Southern rights. We have now, 1no guards remaining to protect us fromr the aggr-essive acts of the Governmeiit, and it may be asserted, wvithout the fear of contradiction, that the veto power wIll fnever again be resorted too to arrest tyran nical legislation; for no man wvill evei Shereafter he elected President, except on the ground that he is opposed to Afri. an Elavery, We are thus placed in r condition far worse than the people un ider the monarchy of England. The | House of Commons of the British Parlia. .ment may compel a reform in the Gov. einent, by refusing to levy the necessa. ry supplies; but the Government of the r North hold both the sword and the purse i n its grasp. It can tax the South to raise S the necessary fund for its own subjuga n by the sword. No. langae can be usedt which can better define a despotism than this. The right of secession is the only mode by which we can exercise a veto power upon the Federal Govern ment. The veto power should have been left with the States by the express terms of the Constitution itself, where alone a safe depository of it can be found. It be comes, therefore, a question of the last importance, that the right of secession should he established and acknowledged, and were there no atber question now be fore the people of the South than this alone, it would be incumbent upon them to obtain a clear and distinct recognition of this right. How are we to obtain this recognition ? There is no way to obtain it but to resort to the act of secession. Until we shall have seceded from the Union, we can obtain no recognition of the right to secede. Once out of the Union, by the act of secession--having resumed that sovereignty which is now denied us, our voice will ho respected, and until then it never will be, We will then be in condition to make terms if we desire it; and even if we desire to save the Union, this is the only mode by which it can be done, . Let us suppose that South Carolina has seceded from the Union. If the General Government resort to coer cion, and South Carolina is subdued, there is an end forever of State soverignty on this continent. By that act alone, the character of the Government will be dis. closed, and it becomes at once, to all in tents and purposes, a consolidated em pire. If State sovereignty be thus crush ed in the case of South Carolina, in our fate every Southern State may read their own. What State south of us would 'ever seek to defend themselves in any way against the tyranny of the General Government after S. Carolina has boon subjugated ?-When that time shall ar rive, the phantom of a Confederated Re public of independent States will disap pear forever, and we will be under the iron rule of a remorseless despotism. Do any suppose that the people of South Carolina are sufficiently blinded iot to see this? WhenEver t'erefore, South Carolina.shalf make the practica! issue of 'ec ssioni ahe:Stes on bof i -il e f t al se -to ese- ca am ties, will be compelled to co-operate with her; they can't escape it. If he wore told, therefore, that he must wait for co operation, he would answer, the only mode to guaranty that co-operation is to o act"-to make a practical issue--and if we do not obtain co-operation then, all past history is a fiction. It is clear, from these propositions, that the secession of a single State, must, in the very nature of things, either effect a reform in the Gene ral Government, by placing it in the power of a State to check its tyranny by exercising the veto of secession, or dis solve the Union; and the Union once dissolved, a Southern Confederacy is in evitable. Let us not then hide from our selves the important fact that South Carolina holds in her hands the power to destroy the Union. He had no fears of her being subjugated. The States hav ing like interests with-her cannot-will not-dare not permit her to fight the great battle of Southern Rights alone. In his judgment, the prevailing ideas in reference to the co-operation which is sought, are not wvell fonnded. Howv did the colonies in 1776 obtain co-operation with one another in resisting British aggression ? W~as the Union formed before thme revolu tion begun ? Certainly not. The battle of Bunker Hill was fought by the Militia of Massachusetts, under cnmmand of Col. Prescott, a Militia Colonel. The comnmission he held was from the colony Massachusetts, and not f'rom the United States. The regiment lhe commanded was not called out by the authority of the United States, but by the authority of the colony of Massachusetts. The con flict was thus begun by a single colony without co-operation. How did sh~e ob tain it? The sound of the guns of Bun ker Hill had scarce passed away, before South Carolina r-ushed to arms to co-ope rate with Massachusetts in a common cause which involved the fate of both, and the first victory of the revolution was won upon Sullivan's Island, against a powerful British fleet, by a regiment of South Caralina militia under the com mand of a militia Colonel, and under the sole authority of the colony of South Carolina. When these events occurred, ther-e was no Union-the blood that wvas shed at Bunker Hill and at Fort Moultrie brought about, and that speedily, a Union of all the colonies. And Washington was not commander in-ohief when the Union was formed. The Union of' which wve now hear so much, was. the legItimate result of separ ate State action, and Washington placed at the head of an army raised after the war began. This is a lesson whIch histo ry teaches us-let us not lack the resolu tion to profit by it. It is the part of wisdom, when a State is called upon to consider the great ques tion of a change of her fundamental In stitutions to ask the question, w-hat she is to gain on the one hand and lose on the other by the step she is about to take. It becomes us, then, to inquire now, what are the benefits we derlve from the fede. which the Union was formed, was to pro tect each State from foreign invasion and :lomestic violence. Admitting the fact that we are protected by the general gov ?rnment from foreign invasion, what price Ri we pay for it ? Whilst we pay into the public treasury millions annually in the shape of tribute, to protect us .from foreign invasion, are we not threatened by the protecting power itself with the sword of domestic violence ? Are we not told now, that if we dare to take such steps we deem essential to our preserva tion, that our country will be devastated by the domestic violence of the sword, placed in the hand of the general govern. ment to protect us from all such aggres sions? And by the taxes of -which we are plundered, we furnish the means of our own subjugation. These are the benefits of the Union-before the idol of which we are required to fall down and worship. A government like this could enkindle in his bosom no sentiment but the most inveterate hatred, and a people who still pay their fealty to it, and bow before it in obsequious obedience, deserve to be slaves. That part of the compact therefore which gurranties each State from domestic violence, is abrogated, and the sword which was to protect us is the instrument by which our country is to be deluged in blood. There is but a single item left-.that of protection against a foreign power, for in the act of inflicting upon us the devasta tion threatened, every personal right and every right of property must be destroyed. Protection against a foreign enemy alone remains. If we be subjugated-if we must cringe under the rod of a master, what. boots it to us whether the rod be held over us by the King of Britain or the abolition goernment of the North? Even if the protection against a foreign power be observed in good faith, it is a right without any value, and we should scorn it under such circumstances. In the present state of the world, what ever fears we may entertain of foreign invasion, are little more than imaginary. Commerce constitutes the bonds into which the world has enterred to keep-the international peace. The cotton of. the the navies and armies of Europe. The crown of England's sovereign would not be safe if the great staples of the South were withdrawn from the commeroe of the world for twelve months. What peo. ple on earth are more liable to oppression than we are under these circumstancesi Who so defenceless and powerless to pro. tect themselves? And with these facts before us, shall we longer delude our selves with the phantom of liberty, when all its attributes are denied us? We are on our backs-the tyrant stands over us ready to inflict the last stab, and shall we pausei If wo resist not, will it not be said, and with too much truth, that we fear the consequences? By a timid, vacillating course of policy, will we not in efect say to the tyrant, " we know our wrongs-they have penetrated deep into the public heart-we know we are dis" lonored-degraded-and that ere long our ruin will be consummated. We know that a power which seeks to dishonor a people will not stop short of conquering them, but we are aware that we are too weak to meist you ?" A people who can thus reflect, cannot long retain a vestlgc of the spirit of liberty. On the other hand, let us considei wihat we are to gain by the proposed action of the State. If we succeed, (at he believed we would) in practically demonstrating the right of a State t< to secede, we shall have established upor a sure basis the only veto power thai can ever hold the tyranny of the govern ment in check. We will have laid th< foundation for security, egnality, ani independence in the Union or of a bette: government out of it-a governmen1 which must in the end result in a South erni confederacy, upon the establishmen of which depends the last hope of libert3 on this continent. But suppose wve maki tho eff'ort and fail, and wc in fact be sub jugated, an evnnt which he did not be ieve ever will happen, even in that ex tremity, our condition will be no wors< that wchich awaits us in the Union. hi every viewv of the case, therefore, seces sion seems to be the policy which alon can secure our honor and our liberty. Tlhis islbriefly our position. Our wrong: must be redre'ssed, and we must hayi garanti.es tor the future. We cannot be so f~lso to ourselves or our children as t< submit. Ts it a matter of surprise that w< should have arrived at a period in on history, when we are called on by thi highest obligations of patriotic duty, t take our rights into our own hands, an< to reform the Statei Whoever supposem that our liberties were placed upon sucl a sure basis that they would last foreve without an effort from us to defend them We h'ive heretofore placed too much con fidence in the histor'y of our gov'ernment Beware! lest it prove a fatal delusion. We must apply the remedy of cii war or secession-for there can be ni submission. Between the two he ooulk not hesitate. Hoe was in favor of seces sion with co-opcration, if we can obtait it; if not, then by the single action o South Carolina. Hie profered angthn to submission. If we do not obtain co operation before we act, he felt confident we would obtain it afterwards. Our hepe. lies in action. The delay he would coun. sel, is only in deference to the judgment of those who think differently-.-for bilm. self he was ready for the issue at-any - moment and did not believe it could be. postponed much longer with honor tothe. State, or safety to ourselves. And whilat he made this broad declaration, he woul not counsel rashness or precipitation We have fallen upon a tkne which more than any 'other in modern times requires 6 coolness, resolution, and a profound political wisdom. One element, without ' , which all is lost, is union amongst our. selves. Let us take care, lest in dividing among ourselves, we become the most - efficient agent of our enemies. If there are any then, who desire to wait yet a little longer, he would say to thrm let us not separate-but by our united strength, shape our course so as to com mand success when we do act. It ia more important to accomplish the great design of redeeming our country from the ruin which awaits her, than that we should begin the contest unprepared and with a divided people. Let us at all eventsleep the State up to the color line, determined to triumph or perish, and when the proper moment arrives, to strike whatever blow the rights of our eountry shall conmand; and leave the oonsequences to God; .He would commit violence upon the feelings of none.
