CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. In accordance with the new Census, the Leg islature has divided the State into- six Congres sional Districts, and appointed the fourth Mon day in February next for the election. Most of the old deiegation, we believe, will he can didates for re-election, and will) probably be chosen vithotpt opposition. Mr. BegvY, it is understood, retires. and we observe in the last Abbeville tnnevr that the Hon. F. W. PCrKEss is brought fovward for the vacancy. lie has altso been nominated in Edge field, the District of his residence. We are far from wishing to interfere in such matters, but we cannot help rejoicing at seeing this distin guished Carolinian named for a seat in Congress, where he has in former years shone atuong the most brilliant and able defenders of the pririci pies and cause of the State. We hope this call to re-enter the public service, will be favorably responded to by Col PIc16E.". His long ex perience in polities, and- his long. servire at Washington, would give weight to m delega tion, and fill the void occasioned by the re tiromenit of Mr. BURT. The circumstance that, more than any other, has lowered the dignity and undermined the au thority of the House of Representatives, is tie practice, especially at the North, of perpetually changing their Representatives: so that each new Congress is composed of a disproportion ate number of men who understand neither the rules of legislation nor the politics of the coun try, and whose whole course is devoted to ob jects as ephemeral as their tenure of oflice. It it devoutly to be hoped that this principle of " rotation" will never be introduced into Sorth Carolinaand that the time mnlay iever come when any portion of her citizens shall consider it an objection to a candidate, that lie has been al ready crowned with distinction, and lars gone through a course of long, faithful and arduous public service. Col. PiciEis would go back to Congress tn der great advantages. fie left it voluntarily, and with a high reputation, Whatever of ex perience remains in the House of Representa tives, wottld at once recognise him as a part of themselves. The new President was his fellow member many years ago. And it will not be forgotten that on the inauguration of Mr. POLx's Administration, lie declined one of the most brilliaunt appointments in the gift of the President, ott the express ground that. the polii ey of that Admiinistration on a question which he considered.vital and fu ndamuental, was still undetermined.-Chatrlestonl Mercury. SOUTHER N FACTS.-We publisht tho following " fsae~ for the next edition-of Uncle Tom's Cab in,"' frm the Martinrsbrurg (Va.) Gazetite: There died lately in a lower coutnty of Virgin ia, a mulatto man 'who had been anttumitted by hia master, and who was, unader our law, one, of those persons who wvas permitted to remain in V irginia. 1-is muaster, hal, with his liberty, left him a respectable property, and this mani, by in austrv. accumulated an estarte of $25,000. He h.ai purchased hais wife, who was a slave, and his chijldren were, therefore,.his own prope'rty, as' well ais his wife. Falling~ into bad heatlth, he went to Philatdel phia stme timte during the last summiter for nie. iealt advice, brut learning from the best phty.iiarns that his health wats worse than hte thought, and that he could riot live, he wrote to a relative of has old master to come otn for him, which this gentlemant did, antd stayed with hinm,and brouaght him back to Virginia at his request. He died .ihortly after his retutrn, not long sincee, and by his tlrt will left alil his estate to tis gentlema~n, as well as hris wvife and childretn, wvhro are thtus thre slaves or his friend, trutsting of course that he would care for them, and provide for them. He was tin intelligent, wealthy man? whlo knew the conditiotn of colored people itt the Northern Sates, th-at prefcrrcd to leave his wife and chtii drena and all his property to a whlite man, to send itng thtem out of the State, to live as free persons withr a finue estate. T1heseo are notariotus and recorded facts, and can be proved if detnied; and there are manty suchr oreurrenaces amotnag ouar colored people which might be m-ade public, to lput to shamne the exarggreated fietionas ef Mrs. Stowe and her ad hereints, if threre was any possibility for stubsti tuting itt the Northern mnind, fact for fition reason for imuaginationi-and charity ini the place of sectiontal prejudice. GEN. PIErCE'S CAnaxET.-It is stated (lhat Gen. Pierce held a conferetnce with invited frienrds, at the Tremnont Hiouse, ina Boston, ott Saturdayv, regarding his cabirnet. Senattor Hun ter, of Virginia, had thte refrusal o'f the Treasuary Deparrment, anrd declined it. It is thought lie tay be uirged into the Diepart'nent of Starte, throught disintclinted to accept thte oflice. It is also said that Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, has been tixed upotn for Secretary of the Navy ; JefTerson Davis, of Miss.. Secretary of War ; A. 0. P. Nicholson, of Tenn., Secreta ry of thre larterior, and Gov. Seymour, of Con neticut, (probably) Postmiaster General. Hox. JEFF. DAvis.-Thte Vickshurg &entinel, in remarking upour a letter of a corresponiden~t, says: .-It will doubtlesa be a pleasure to the writer to heatr, that tne htearlth of Cot. Davis has great ly improved, antd is itt all probability peranenit ly restored. As to the balance of Iris wish, we can only say, that the titne is not far distant, when he will harve an opportunity of joining with other memibers of thte Sena-te in welcoming Col. Davis back to his seat in that aaugutst body. Unless we are greatly mistaken in tire signrs of the times, the election of Col. Davis, by the niext Legislature, as United States Senator, is an event tharn whrich nothtitng irn humatn aflfairs could be more certain."

THE Carolinian of Friday last contains a letter from Maj. A. C. GARLINGTON, ofNewbrry, positively declining to run for Congress, " THE OCEAN DORIN." Sucni is the title of a sea story just from the Press of BacE & Ifrrr1ERs, New York. It is by Srzw Af-T ADAIa GowaAx, Editor of the Family Friend. We hope it is a good thing, tin tite simple score of its nativity, and, if one may juidge from a rapid survey of its general tenor, we should ay that our hope will be gratified hy a closer reading. Tli illustrations are in a better style of art than is usual with such pubica tions. CoiIPL3DIESTARY. Fs os a rate number of the Mercury, we extract, cthis week, an editorial in which rcference is made to our distinguished fellow-citizen, flon. F. W. PIcK ENs. It conveys, in very handsome terms, a richly merited tribute. As a citizen of Edgefield, we confess that its perusal awakened in our bosom sensations of pride and satisfaction. And we lay it befre our readers, tnder the belief that they too will be similarly affect ed by such allusions to one whi has,in days past, ren dered them able, faithful ard disinterested service. Without meaning any disparagement of other as. piraits, we may be permitted to give it as our opinion that Col. Picirrs should be our next Representative in Congress. But lie has thought proper to decline a contest for that position. And, inasmuch as lie cannot he expectel to enter the field again, excep:, per halps, int the event of other candidates declining il lis favor, the hope of receiving the advantage of his em inent abilities is, for the present, at on end. We are aIsuired that ntot only Uldgefield, but the St.te atlarge, deeliy regrets that such should he the case. The article from the Mercury is on a parralel col nuthi TilE: Baptist I[ouse of Worship, at this place, hap been recently renewed throughout by extensive re pairs, and now only awaits the painter's brush to exhibit a more finished appearance than it did when first constructed. This is the work of Mr. BLrASC, U native young mechanic of undoubted mterit. The inte rior is far superior to what it ever was. Especially does the style of the pulpit strike us as being more gracefully planned and more admirably executed, than that of any country or villnge church we have ever seen. Mr. BLEASE has talents for architectural pursuits which only need cultivation to give him decided promtinence itt his calling. Understanding that lie is about to leave us for Newberry, we cheerfully nnd confidently recommend him to the kind patronage o that discriminating community. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 31a. W3. RIcnasS has recently left the Chair Editorial of this interesting Journal, which ihe filled n ith decided credit to himself, much amusenctit and no little instruction to his readers. We give him the parting hand with the kindest wishes for his future weal. Mr. P.SUL IA YNE, his successor, is a young gentle' man of rare attuitinents and very sprightly endow ments. We promise ourselves considerable pleasure from the perusal of his gracefil prodtttitins, and we hope his efforts will be crowned with brilliant sue cess. THE WEEKL NEWS. - WE have been observitng this sheet for the last few moths with an unusual degree of closenesa; and this we did, from the vecry evidenit sytmptomis of steady improvement which it exhibsited fromt time to titme. It is therefore wIt confidence that wve now cotmmend it to the rapidly extendinig circle of our own subsc-ri bers, as a most entertamitng lpape.~ It is as richly wrtht its price of subscription (which is S2 per an. num) as any exchtange wve have the hotnor of number ing on our list. rTe "Weekly News" is published in the city oi Charleston by WV. A. Paxton. Th~e paper, type, &c. used in its ptubhcattion are evidently of the best de scription. Its selections are tasteful and varied, and its origin-el matter spicy, anid not unfrequenthy, stronag ly naarked with the trmces of sound thought and solid iforations. BAR.ROOMS CL.0SED. BE it known to all whonm it may concern, that the ar-rooms of our town were closed by order of oni Council on the first day of the year 1853-and, motre over, that no license has or will be granted for the sellinig of liquor by the quar:, in anay grocery store ot elsewhere, durinig said year. We have no hesitation in approving heartily of the course our authorities have adopted in this mafter. Te nefariotus traflic has undoubtedly resulted ir much and serious injury to the chauraeder of otir towna and to the interests of our citizens. 31aiy there are wh o doubt whether the recent ena~ctmnent twitl do any good ;and we confess that we are amnong those whc have tears upon the subject. But wte since-rely hope that its successful operation will soon renove all ap. prehensions. In anay event, nothing could be worse tItn the open-shop business ns hich has just beeni ter minated. It now behoves our Council to be ever on the aleri to preserve their ordinance inviolate. Their effort ti suppress this crying evil will be estitnated entirely by the degree of its success. If carried on with energ3 and determination to the achievement of its object it will in six months time commnanid the applause o its bitterest opponents. If sufferredl to fail from in diference and indolence, it will be scofled at as at absurdity. MhR. WOODWARDI ON TIlE TARIFF. 3a. WoonwAnD, of Southt Carolina, delivereda long speech, in the I[ouse of Represenstatives, on th1 1ft of December just past, upon a propositiont made by a nmember front New York to refer the considera tion of the Tarify to a Select Conmmittee. 'rTe de ater eleborates onie point especially, viz: thsata permanent fixed rate of dutties is totally incongruoum with the progressive condition of out country. ite argues that it would speedily result in the entire pro. hibition of most foreign articles, as there are miany 01 tem, even now, which cannot compete with om home manufactures and productimns (by reason ol the rapid advances of Americans skill,) unless ad, mitted with but little more thtan a nominal duty. I: Mr. WooDwsutD's position an reference to the pre. sent ability of American Manufacturers and Produ. cers to stand their ground, in a lair field, againist the rest of the world, be correct, we should say that thu Protective System would sootn be buried as far pasl resurrection as the shade of McDUFFtE couldl desire Furthermore, it is maintained by Mr. W. that oun fsreigin commeerce is becoming, every year, less ant lss able to- hear imposts. If so, and if Free Tradi princiles are still to remain in the ascendancy, the interesting question arises, how long shall it be befori this tendheiny oft things will force our Government tc resort to Direct Taxation, for the purpose of raisini revenueI THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN RICHJIlOND. A waRTma in the Southern Ere, (a paper puiblishmet in Ricmnontd, Va.) harangues the people of that cit3 lengthily and elaborately upon the evils tof dram shops. Amonig oilier things, lhe says that thette isa nanmoth distillery in the place whlich is capable o: consuming twelve hundred bushels of cuo per day ad of manufacturing nara five thousand gallons o1 wvhikey in the same time-that there are some twen ty-five whlolesale and retail houses where liquors oi all kinds are sokf, and twenty eight regularly licensed ordinaries-and, worse thtan all, that there are at leasi 'iIR EE Ht.NDiRED ANrr TPwENTY-FtvE hells, where tht! sale of spirituous drinks of the meatiest kinds is illi citly carried on, day and night. The annual loss to the city in the decreased value of nuegro property froim this blihtinig and debasing cause is put down,-in round numbers, at forly thousand dollars. We once tasted a " hail-storm" in Richmond which we considered at least equal, to the nectar of the gods, i was " got up" in such. exquisite taste ! Ilut if. such beverages can only be hiad unider a system which equally sanctions the Retail of the most villainous onpounds,. we are prepared to say, away forever with even hail-stormst, rather than be annoyed by thecir SENATOR MASON UPON CUBA, Tur Senate Chamber of the Union has been somewhat enlivened, at an enrly stage of the present se.*ion, by a debate arising upon that portion of President Ftl.LsonE's Message which refers to Cuba. Among others, Mr. MAsox, of Virginia, participated in the discussion, advocating non-interference with the rights of Spnin in the matter, but determined opposition to any attempt, on the part of any other government whatever, to gain possession of this great prize, by treaty or otherwise. The Senator from Virginia take. the high and, as we conceive, the only tenable ground, that "any attempt, whether made by individuals In violation of the laws of their country, or by the Government in its politic capacity, to dismember Cuba from Spain, would tarnish,forever iarnilsh, our national fanie." And yet he gives it as his opinion that " in the full ness of time the fruit will ripen and fall from its parent stem." In another place he uses still stronger terms. Granting that Cuba may not he ours in this generation, nor even in the next, he still feels confi deat that " come to us it will, (sooner or later,) just ,aA certainly as the world revolves on its axis." M1r. MASoN then, (after differing distinctly with the President as to the impolicy of annexing Cuba under any circumstances,) concludes by asserting, that " whenever the hour comes, when, in good faith, and with due regard to national honor, we can incorpor ate Cuba as one of these United States, it will be done and Europe may find it best to hold her peace." Fer our own, part, we are gradually coming to the conclusion that, after all, the Cuba furor will resem ble the Kosse'rt fermentation in one point at least which is, that it wll turn out to he " all smoke and no fire." Iere now is a Southern Senator, announc ing to the country his attitude upon this question, and the cue will lie taken, doubtless, by the advocates ef Southern Rights generally. And what in that atti. tude ! A right and honorable one, beyond question. But what does it amount to. in view of the develp ment of any progressive steps towards the attainment of this stronghold ? Let us briefly examine. First, Cuba (it is announced) is not our property hot Spain's. Right enough, but certainly a proposition familiar to every school-boy. Secondly, we tnmst not snatch Cuba from Spain, for the very good reason that we have no earthly right to do so. Neither is this any new interpretation of international law. Thirdly, we must have patience. " Watch and wait" is now the generally adopted Southern maxim. And, fourth ly, in a few generations, (fiery Fillibusteros, attend!) in a few generations (when the hot blood of 1853, that flows so ad'illy at the thought of graspitg Spanish wealth, shall have been chilled in death)-in a few generations, (when a re-production of the same fervor in the year tineteen hndired and one'shall have fallen a victim to the same sickening disap joiistinent)-yes, in a few generations, Caha itast be ours. At least, so says 31r. MasoN. But, with all possible respect for this dittinguished. Virginian's opinions, we itst regard even this well-pruvided remark of his in the light of a bare and unsupported assertion. To allow it the merit of prophecy, would he going a little further than our judgenient can in any w ibe sanction. Because, there is no proof wiatever that Spain has the most remote intention of parting with Cuba, to any government, on any teirs. If she had, there are the three great powers of England, France and the United States, each one of them standing ready, with all its means, to defeat any attempt, on the part of either of the others, to reduce into possessian this much-coveted "Queen of the Antilles." Great Britain and France, with their immense walth and power, their contiguity to and direct influence over old Spain, can always succeed in preventing a ces sion to the Uunited States. On the other hand, it is by no means probable. that either of thema will ef fect the acqui.-ition, with a full knowledge that a blowldy strtiggle nith Brother Jonathan is to be the certain conseqpuence. JIIow, then, it can be othierwsise than that uha muist still remain in statu guo, for at long and indefinite period of time, we arc at a loss to perceive. It is thought that some such causes of offence, as recently transpired at tjie port of flavana, will soon give us the pretext, and that the rest will be easy enought. This we regard as the ilimsiest chtance imaginable. Spain is now ftully awake to eur inten tions, and will certainly be on her guard for the future. It woiuld be placing a poor estimate upon event Spanish diplomacy to suppose that we will ever again be allowed.,to occuapy any thing like the van. age ground in collisions of this kind. Thlere is another pirospect, however, of a rather more hioperful character than the rest; which is, that Cutba may throw off the Spanish Yoke, declare her Independence, accept our rccognitione of thte sanme, and eventually knock for admiittance into our Union. This would be grand. It would give tts the rig~mt, (and we already have the might) to receive anid p tect the darlitng beatity against a world in' arms. Yet even this is among those dim and undefined visions which lie entirely in the womb of the future. Upon the whole, althiought we desire the acquisi tion of Cuha as much as most people, we yet regard all ho'pes of i-ts speedy' accomplishmnent as partaking much.l mnre of fancy and enthusiasm than of either reason or jutdgmtent.

The Synod very sensibly dismissed it. That Denoinina tion, however, holds as a part of its law thit no such I miartiige is valid. The Touthent Baptist maintains with ample argument that even the Jewish Ritual does not justify this canon of the Associate Ieformed Church, much less does the . Christian Dispensation. We had no idea before that it was by any means an open question, araong Scriptorians even. There might be some good sense in prtihiting intermarriage anitg blood relations, for this, is unquestionably one of the most fruitful causes of idioey and other evils. But the interdiction unpltd in'the above qcry, strikes us as being fully as absurd as we had suliosed it to be obsolete. POISONED PUBLICATIONS.
