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."

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 5, 1853.
DECI.INED.
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

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

home manufactures and productimns (by reason ol
the rapid advances of Americans skill,) unless ad,

Furthermore, it is maintained by Mr. W. that oun

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.

MAY A DIAN IARRY IlHS VIFES SISTER?
This strange question anse at a recent meeting of
the Synod of the Associate Reformed Church. 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.

ders of the World," by ROtEtT SEA Rs of New York
Though varied aid interesting " it is designed," says
the Ga:ette, "to stab while it entertain-." The ob
jectionahle point is its etnity to our Southern system
of servitude. Without having seen the book, we are
yet prepared to accept the Ga:cte's vie w of it, as our
own, and to caution our readers against etneourtgiing
its sale. Do we not see continually the great impor
tance of establishing a jiure Southern literature to
supersede and expel the poisoned trash which yearly
floods us from the North! And can we not bring
ourselves to make this tdea one of our fixed South
ern principles ?'

Mr. Stockler, of the Aldrich Female Seminnry, pro
poses to form a singing class among such ladies tnd
gentlemen of this plhace and its vicinity as may desire
imiprovemtent in that degartment of the Finie Arts.
Mr. S. is an uncommonly capable instructor, as we
undlerstatd, and it is hoped that mtany will take ad
vantage of the opportunity lie no0w presents. We

made good by proper 'tr.\inting, of several, alre-ady

again with trios, uiartettes' and the like.
ANiTI-PRIO&R IPTIVYE,
TunE Concord Patriot, (which paper is published
near General PtEitcE's residetice atid speaks in this
instance as one havitng authority) anniotuces that the
President Elect is fuilly deteriniined to judge for him
self in regard to the men who shall comtpose~ his
Cabinet. (Etcellent.) TIhe States rare remiinded that
all of them cannot be represented therein. (Astonish
ing revelation !) And, what wvill be mnure interesting
to the rank and file of the Great Unterrified, is the
assertion thatt there will be ino proscription of mien
because they have in tinmes past belitnged to this or
that section. of Demoeracy. 'The Presidenitial "Sun
shall shinte upon the righteotus anid thte unirighteouts,'"
so theynare stamped with the broad D;-moeratic seal1.
