OURRPESE(TATIQN IN CONGRESS.
In this cornexion it mi'ght. not .beimproper to
remark, that theLyon delegation from-South
Caroli.ia he acqttted itself, on its trial session,
with exceeding I vdil Messrs. Boyee, Brooks
and Keitt are dIyoung men. Tc last especial
IV so, and-so much our junior is he that we find
it difficult to adjust ottr fogy notiuns, to a recog
niition of the fact that he has vet arrivediat years
ef iqisVit'o -. Mr. Boyee left the South Carolina
College- in 1836, then but a boy; Mr. Brooks
in 1839, and Mr. Keitt in 1842.
It would nbt be altethe- true to- say that
these gentlemen had disinguished -themselves
iii their studieas. We arc rather inclined to
thiok that they were not particularly distingnish
ed for their proficiency in departments assignid
te them, but like most men who have-unusual
- foreL, of character, they were more inclined to
courses of their own. All three, however, even
there, were men of character a.bninfluence, and
left their mark upon the minds of their associates.
The course of each since his entrance upon
the ivorld has been onwards and-upwards. Mr.
Brooks.and Mr,-Keitt have both h;id seats in the
State Legislature, ind both have had, from e.ir
S liest entrance into that. body,' position and influ
ence. Mr. Boyce until very recently, we believe,
-has not been much addicted to politics. His
profession, which he practiced with much snecess,
claimed his utmost attention and his energies.
With even such assurances of ability as that
offered by their previous-history, however, therie
was necessaritv some -solicitude as to their suc
Cess upon the wider field to which they were
about to enter, and their con'rse has been watch
ed with exceeding,interest by the State. They
.were to take the seaLs that had been vacated by
-great men. Upon their shoulders, to some ex
tent, was to rest the responsibility of sustaining
the State in that, high- position to which it had
been elevated by men of intellect and genius,
and among many hopes and misgivings were
occasionally mingled. But doubts have been
resolved. into most cheering-certainties,they have
siioken on efery great question which has beer.
raised since the commencement of the session,
and more t h'n this, they have been heard. -
The members of our dilegation who had
already preceded to Congress gave them neces
sarily a high social position, and could have giv
en theyn great assistance had it been necessary.
But, with the self reliance to which they have
been accustoumed, they havo been an assistance
rather than a charge upon the older -members of
otir-delegation, and have stood side with them
upon important issues. Cheered by these re
sults, 'e look upon the political future of our
State with great satisfaction.
That -the constituents'of Mr. Brooks may
know how he is serving them, and how others
regard him, we subjoin the following extracts.
A cofrresporident of the Cardlinian, writing
from Washingtodi says:
Mr. Brooks made an -excellent speech on the
Pacific Railroad bill, advocating the grant of
lands within the territories for the project. This
speech exhibits amch natioual and frank feeling,
and concurs with, the opinions of the great
Southerner on the subject of donating public
k.inds within the territories for purposes which
will'enhance the value of the remainder. There
is a wise and sagacious philosophy and an ex
emption from prejudice and sectionalism that
has won for him a reputation for candor and in
dependent action.
Judge O'Neall writes to the Newberry Sen
tinel:
I found Boyce and Broc-ks, alone of our Rep.
resenttlivcs,at Washington. I ntderstood Gov.
Aiken was in 'the city. I had not, however, the
pleasure of seeing him. Boyce and Brooks are
much esteemed at W.ashingrton: they are both.
workintg men, constantly engaged in informing
themselves :tnd serving their constituents. They
both faced the Nebraska storm, and acted well
their parts in carrying it out. Like nature after
a storm, the more violent it has beei; the more
quiet seems to follow it, so it is at Washington,
there is scarcelv :an ailhision mude to the direftul
conisequen-ices (which wvere so cZonfidenitly predict

the patssage of the bill.
TERaIIJBLD AFFAIR AT CINCINNAT.-TWo rER
SONS KILLED BY AN INFERNAL 31AeHNE.-A des
patch daed at Cincinnati on Monday latst gives
the following particnlars 'of another of' those
tiendish acts which have become so frequent
within the last fewv years:
Last evening a box was sent to the Marine
Hospital, corner oft Longworth.street and Wes
tern row, and deposited in.the room of the stewv
arJ, J. H1. Allison. About ten. o'clock, the
steward and his wife being alone in the room,
opened the box, when it exploded with terrific
force, mangling the bodies oft both in a horrible
manner. Mrs. Allison haid both her arms blown
off and her skull fractured, while Mr. A. was
dreadfully mangled. The furniture, windows,
ceiling of the room, &c., were shattered to
atoms. The indications are, that the box con
t ained a bomb shell of a bout six inches in diame
ter. No clue has vet been discovered as to the
perpetraitor of this hellish act.
The Allisons arc both dead. Mir. A. made a
statement before his deaith, which, with the
information obtained to-day, will probably lead
to the detection of the guilty parties. It is said
that a fellow named Conwell coitmnitted a mur
der some time since, anid that Allison was tic
quainted wvith the faicts-contsequently, it is sup.
posed that Conwell desired to take Allison's
life. The description given by the latter of
Conwvell, answers that given by the boy who
delivered the box, of the person from whom lie
rece~ived it.
QunCK WVonK.-Col. Andrew McMakin, editor
of the American Courier, Philadelphia, has re
cently been on a tour to the West, and among
other things which lie describes in his entertain
ing manner, is. the laundry of the - Burnet
Ilouse," Cincinnati. Hie says it differs from
other similar institutions in its wringing faculiy,
anid this is done on the scientific principle of
centrifugal propulsioni. Should a hundred per.
eons arrive at the hotel without a change of
linen, they might divest for a bath, and their
soiled garments gatthered in a henp, are flung
into a patent steam washing machine, where, in
five minutes, every particle of dirt is ex punged :
thence into a box which rotates horizontally
with such force, as in three minutes to press
them against the periphery, until every drop of
- mois-ure leaves thema ; then two minutes in a
baking room removes every vestige of dampness;
tiv-e umintutes sutlices to " mangle," fold and de
posit the same at the door of their respective
bath rooms ! Thus during the fifteen minutes'
required for a man to bathle and dry himself, his
clothes may be washed, starched, ironed and
ready to puton
EFFECT or THE HEAT.--Ve noticed on Tues
daty, says the Ne wberry Sentinel, that the rails
on the Greenville & Columbia Railroad had ex
panded very much from the excessive heat. The
vacant spaces between thema were closed up, and
the rail drawn up in the form of an arch, five
inches at the highest point from the stringer, at
the samne time draiing out two spikes. The
rails were so hot that it was like handling hot
coals to touch them. We noticed two other
rails slightly arched.
-- Tun Daux~anD's . CLOAK.-InI the time of
'Oliver Cromwell, the magistrates in the north of
England punished drunkards by making them
*carry what was called the " Drunkard's Clea'r."
~This was a large barrel, with one head out, and
a hole in the other, through which the offender
was made to put his head, while his hands were
drawn through two small holes, one on each side.
WVith this he was compelled to march ulong the
public streets..
WVhat a strange sight it would be wecre all the
drtunkards now-a-days compelled to march about
wearing barrels for cloaks.
Ilo I oa CIIBA !-:-Under this head, a notice
appeared in thie ayette Watch-Tower, Miissis
sippi, calling a meeting of the friends of Cuban
independence and annexation at the court house
in Fayette, on thre 17ilh, "for the purpose of
organizing a company and adopting resolutions
expressive of their views upon the extension of
the area of American national freedom." The
call went on to invite the attendance of all
friendly to the cause, those not so-" to keep
ARTHUR SIMKINS, ED'TOR.
EDGEFIELD, S.C.
THURSDAY JULY 6, 1854.
Camp Meeting.
WX are requested to state that the Camp Meeting at
Mt. Vernon will-commence on, Thursday eveiing be
fore the first Sunday.in August next.
Mr. Lamar's Machine.
WE call attention to the notice of Mr. T. G. LAMARt
as to his shingle, machine. In addition to what we
have heretofore said in reference to its excellences', we
have now only to add that we regard it, after repeat
ed examination, the best article in its line ne have
ever seen.' It is well worth the aitction, of mechan
ics and builders especially.
Watermelons.
Tars delighiful fruit is just coming in with us. On
Sunday last we partook of a delicious one, procured
for us in Augusta through the kindness of Mr. 11. C.
Wglere the next one we eat is to come from is just at
this time an unknown circumstance. Perhaps it will
be from S. M. or from W. 31. or from B. P. or frotn
some one else. We wont try to anticipate however,
but await patiently the treat.
Watermelons are not only- pleasant to the taste, but
really medicinal in some of -tiheir effects. Kidney af
fections, for instance, fly at theit approach.
More Good Things.
Mr. W. N. MootE acoriipanies a present of some
choice vegetables with the, following note:
Mr. EDiTOR-I saw in done of'your late numbers a
rather boasting notice of some heets gro*n in your
own garden-pretty good,1isshould say.for the Piuey
woods! I send you a specimen of what we grow in
the Oaky woods, which are-so much inferior to some
I have raised that I did not consider they yould do to
talk about until I saw your finti'e.-l also send you a
specimen of Irish potatoesi which can no dolit he
beaten, but which, if you do beat them, I will try
again to excel by applying to a two acrc patch if one
of my neighbors. W. N. 31.
Much obliged, very much obliged are we for this
comfortable.present from Mr. MootE. His beets have
beat the beater. But, after sizing a long time, we
have managed to excel his Irish potatoes by about a
quarter of an inch. So that " two-acre patch" will
have to be applied to. Considering the magnitutle of
this patch, we suppose that the potatnes from it will
come upon us, not singly but in battalions. We shall
stand to our arms, prepared.for 1he oiset.
Now for Tomatoes! It is utterly useless for any of
you to make a showing in this line: Yesterday we
presented a young cousin,..who is just cotitneticitg to
keep huse, with a basketful of red, smooth and juicy
ones, ranging from five to ten inches in circuniference.
A Lusus Naturm.
WE have in our office a queer conglomeration of
corn ears, grown upon the plantation of Mr. JAMtEs
GRIFFIN near this place. It came at the top of a
large stalk in place of the'tassel, and numbers twenty
one small cobs, the most of which are covered with
jicy little grains of a very natural appearance. Either
Dame Nature is jocund, or -Mr. GRIFFIN's land is
getting to be as rich as there's any need for.
That Meteor.
Tua papers in various parts of the State make men.
tion of a meteor which fell on Thursday night last.
A similar one was seen by many ii, this vicinity. Was
it all the same meteor! It must ihan have beeti U
onstet one indeed. The light given out here was
exceedingly brilliant. These extraordinary signs in the
skies must prognosticate sonething. Hlaving no weird
at hand to consult witlh as to what it may be, we re
main in unsatisfied suspense.
July the 4th.
TuE national anniversary has been suffered to pass
by in Edgefield, neglected tlmost out atd out. But a
single-celebration have we heard of in the Distrtct,
and that was upon her very horder. This is scarcely
as it should be. It is melancioly to see. our people
losing sight of this great. antniversary of Amnericani
liberty. Because we are wrangling among ourselves
in the Union, it is no reason that we shoultd cease to
honor the day tnhichi first opened upon our country
fully the light of freedom. Trhe mnore imminent the
dager which threatens to throw our Confederacy into
convulsiuons, the more assiduously shuld we gather
ourselves around a common altar and in~voke the spirits
of our departed great ones to still the troubled waters
and restore contentment to our land. TIhe general to.
difference to this once honored occasion is significaint,
we fear, of that declension of spirit which, is usually
the precursor of political degeneracy. In truth, there
'is room to fea'r that this degeneracy is already upcti us.
When citizens cannot finud it agreeable to recall with
rejoicitngs and nmerry-makings so dear an epoch as their
country's deliverance from dire oppression, there must
be something " rotten in Denmark." What this somue
thing is we cannot divine, unless it be that .Mammton
rules the day and carries us all captive at the swaying
of his gilded sceptre. If so, we are as mneati as slaves
already, and cannot be touch lowered by being actu.
ally chained to th~e block.
Withering Rebuke.
Senator BU-rLF~t has att length cot:e down upon
the abolitionist, Suexuea, with a vetigeance. 'The
latter individual had presented a petition for the repeal
of the Fugitive slave Law. Upon the question of re
ferring it to the Judiciary committee, the Judge arose
and~ spoke with musch feeling. At the close of hisi re
marks lie asked whether, if the Law were repealed,
SUMMEa would c&rry out the higher provisions of the
Constitution in respect to the matter. The debate
then assumed the dialoigue style, as follows:
Mr. Summer. Does the hborab~le Senator ask me
if I would personally join in seniding it fellowmnan into
bondage h " Is thy servant a dog, that lie should do
this thing!"
Mr. Butler. These are the prettiest speeches that I
ever heard. [Laughter.] lie has them turneid down.
in a book by him, I believe, atd lie has them so ve.
gantly fixed that I cannot reply to them. [Laughiter.]
They are too delicate fur my use. [Rtenewedl ?angh
tr.] Tlhey are beautiful things, made in a factory of
rhetoric some what of at peculiar shape, but, I must he
peritted to say, not of a dehinuite texture. Nuw, what
loes lie mean by talking about his not being a dog?1
[Contitued laughter.] What has that to do with the
Constitution, or the cotnstitutional objigationis of a
State? [Laughter.] Welh, sir, it was a beautiful
setient, no doubt, au lie thought, and perhaps lie
imagined lie expressed it with Deimosthienian atbrupm
ness atid eloquonce. [Laughuter.] 1 asked himii whether
lit would execute the Constitution of the Uiiited States
wiou~t any fugitive slave law, and lie aiiswered me,
is he a dog
Mr. Summer. The Senator askedl me if I wvould
help to reduce a fellow-tman to bondage ! I answered
him.
Mr. Butler. Then you would'not obey the Consti
tutoni. Sir, [turning to Mr. Summimer,] standing here
before this tribunal, where -you swore to support it,
you rise anid tell me that you regard it the ofliee of a
dg to enforce it. You statnd in my presence, as a
coequal Senator, and tell me thant it is a dog's oflice
to execute the Constitution oh' the United States!
Mr. Pratr. Which he has sworn to support.
Mr. Summer. I recognise no suchm obligation..
Mr. Butler. I know you do not. Nobody cares
about your recengnitions as an individual; hut as a
Senator, and a constitutional representative, you
stand differently related to this body. But enough
of this.
An Application from California.
TuE proposition of G. WV. Ii., of Marys'ville, Cali
fornia, to exchianige the Tlry-Weekly California Er
press for the Edgefield Advertiser, is accepted. Make
us a bid of ten thousand tdollars per annum, anid we'll

2ine Rains.--Noble Crops.
MANY portions of our District have been blessed
during the past week with copi.ios showers. The
drouth, which was only of ten days duranioin, had just
begun to tell injuriously upon the crops wh'len the rains
came and everything looked uip again. Having nomw
had both the early and latter seasons, we have reason
to expect that Edgefield will make as great a corn
crop as she has ever made, and perhaps a greater.
Should such be thme case, ottr citizens may anticipate
a period of real prosperity and happiness ;for, where
the staff of life is richly abundant, there is no foar
btt that all the rest will go well. We hear already of
cn coming into market, wvhich planters have held
back until they felt certaitn that thu growing crop
would turn out finely. There are perhaps thousands
of bushel. thtus reserved' throtughiout our District.
We should think the price might very reasonably come
down a hit or two. Wheat and oats having yielded
so unusually well, it will take but little corn now to
therefore, had- hetter sell quickly, l'they.get but 75
cents. This will be much bettei than. 45'cents, to
which notch we think corn will fall by the month of
November.
Capt. Brooks' Speech.
WE occupy nearly all.of our first page this week
with a speeci recently delivered in- Congress by our
immediate representative, Hon. P. S..BRooKs. It iS,
to our vit-vr. an effort of no little merit. Thelanguage
is plain and unaffected, while the argument is sensi
ble and clearly put. It would have pleased us:as a
whole a great deal better, but fir that strong leaning
towards nationalism evinced in one -of its closing
paragraphs. It is not in the hearts''ofJinany ofrMs.
Baoos' constituency to respond with any.cordiality
tn his broad American prefereices at this particular
juncture, when almost the entire Northern people seem
given up to bitterness and wrath against the South
and her institutions. Yet we -can imagine how one,
surrounded in Washington by every thing that pro
claims the powerand resources of ourgoirnment,and
living on tenns of intimacy with Ndrtiern gentlemen
of genius and lofty tone, might eoine t;Oihibk'iy de
grees that ours was not only a great naion but one
sufficiently cemented to ivithstand all tendencies to
wards disruptinn. We can i'magine how even a South-.
ern man, standing amid the magnificent grounds of
our noble Capitol, lo6kinig tip towards its.toweiing
marble walls'anil caliing to mind the pattiot sAints
under whose direction it was founded, might come to
say that he gloried in being an American- Titus far
we should be content to see uirrepresentativego. But
if it be meant to in.p!y, that " to be an American" is
cause of higer pritJe and'gratulation than "to bea..
South Carolinian," we must respectfully protesi
anainst any such preference. If we are not mistaken
it was GT.oRGE MCDUFFIE who said'that he gloried,
first of all;, in being " a South 'Carolinlan." It'was
in'one -of his eloquett effirts tinder the brave old oaks
of Edgefield that he declared, if asked in any clime
to name his country, his proud reply should be "I am
a South Carolinian." There was more in this senti
ment tian the mere declara'tion of nativity. It con
veyed direct to the hearts, of Carolinians at least, an
assurance that lie who uttered it not only loved his
State as the spot of his birth b'ut as the nursery.of all
that lie held orthodox and genuine in American poli
ties. It said plainly-I believe in the complete sov
ereignty of Somh Carolita-I admit nio superior in the
Federal Government, or in any combination of the
States which compose this Union-I can.see no hope
for the permanent success of the American Confeder
aey except'in the distinct and unnalified recognition
of the rights of the. States-South Carolina has ever
been the bold exponent of this creed, and therefore it
is that I exult in, answerng-"I am a South Caroli.
nian." When' we add, to this undersianding of Mc
DuFFE s whole-souled reply, the fact that the expres
sion " I an an American" would seem iii almost all
instances to signify more national tendencies-than are
consotin with the politics in which we have all here
been nurtured, it occurs to us as being matter ofre
gret that our representative should have thought fit so
to speak, at this time of gll others.
. Yet, w hile we cannot as-a journalist forbear to no
tice these national symptots in our immiediate Con
gressnan, we are actuated by no unfriendly feeling.
Standing outside ihe charmed-influences of the Cen
tral city, many a homely constituent -is edabled to
discover the shoal against which his Representative is
unconsciously driving. And ie should at once raise
the finger of friendly. warning. This much and no
more htave We intended.
We ask the careful attention of our readers to Mr.
InooKs' speech.

Foat TiM AovERTtsEa.
Mr. Enrroa : I observe from a " call" in a recent
number ot' thme Adrertiser, thtat " AnY VO'ras''
arc desirous (if atseertainintg " whethter or not the
Cantd~dates fori the Legis!ature are in favor of the
remo'val of the Toll Gate, erected by Messrs. ,JoN~s
& KENNEDY, at tlie east eitd of the Bridge aeross
the Savann.tlh River" at thtis place.
As the Yo-rEtns have an indisputable rightt to
qtue.tiomn Cand.Vdates, whio seek their suffrages, on
anmy ant all measures that are likely to affect either
ieneranl or local interests, so do I regard it the duty,
and it shtoulmd be the pleasure of the Candidate to
respond itt atn expression of his views with frankness
antd huonesty ; anid ats I am one of the aspiratnts to
whomt this " call'' is addressed, I avail myself of
thte eatrliest opgi:tunity afforded me, oif replying ini
brief ti' thte itiertrogation of " MANY YoT~ns."t
AMy views have never htartmonised with tdie Act of
the General A ssembly, grantitng to Messrs. JoNEs &
KltNNi-:D the piower to colleet t'll at this end of the
Atugusta Bridge: nor can I, consstently with my
nmoral sense of right andi justice, reconcile the prin
eiple or~ policy engrafted uponi our Statute Booik by
the passage of that A ct, witht whaut my judgment
teaches me is the legitimate sphere cf Legislation.
If I tunderstatnd the true obiject of Legislantion, it is
for* the etnctinent of wise, judicious and politic laws
for the good andl safety of the commonwealth. Life,
liberty and pruperty tire thte dearest'interests of
mtani; they arc the three controlling elements of or
gataic lawv and civil Legislation, and no act which,
in its practical results, endangers life, destroys liber
ty, or disrega: ds the right of property, can be other
wis thtan imupolitie, unwise and unconstitutiional.
Any law, havitig a tendlency, directly or indirectly,
to levy an oner'ous and unnecessatry tax upon the
peophle, is at otnce oppressive int its ioperation, tyrtn
ouis ini principle, and subversive oif the true prine!
p)!es of political ethies. A nd although Legislatioti
tmayt be impaled with the rules (if established law,
anid co'nstitutiotnal land-marks, yet when it is detri
t-ntal to thme public itterests, anid operates to the
general injury of the peophi jtustie and commnon
sense deimand thait all objectionable features shall be
expunged from the Statute Book. And I hold i:, to
be a high anud solemn duty of the Legislator, to
look first to the interests of his whole constituency,
aind to reject all mieasures thant conflict wIth the wise
o'd law niaxim,-" Pulicumn bonum privato est
pra-ferendum," the public good is to be preferretd
befo.re private adlvanttage.
Entertainting theu se views, it is enough for me here
to state to " MIANY Vo-rins," antd to the people of
Edgeield Distriet, that I nit).unqualifiedhy and un
comnpromisinigly ohposed to the Act now of force, by
virtue of which Mlessrs. JoNEs & KENNEoY arc col
lecting toll. A nid that I nam equally opposed to thte
principle upon whicht the rightts mnd the integrity oh
the State were sought to be preserved. I am pre
pared, witht what ability I possess, to advocate any
measure that has for its object the ;;bntement of the
existing evil, and if " MANv V'rEts" should see
proper to clothe me with Legislative authority in
October next, I shall employ all the means at my
conmnandu, that have the sanction of truth, justice
and constitutional law, in the effort to have thte
" Toll Gate" in question effectually removedl,ntd the
publie relieved from the burthen of an utnjust anid
unntece.ssary taxationm.
I have no dispositior. to oppose the righttful inter
ests cif Mlessrs. JoNits & K ENNEDY, or to pi'judice
tiny claitm of theirs that does not 'bonflict with the
public goiod ;nor wouldi I knowvingly do thtem in
justice, for [center'tain towards thtem both the highest
sentimetnts of esteem and- regard. But I have ad'
positioin to protect and guard, as fatr as my capacity
entables me, the rights and iterests of the people,
and particularly of the community that furnish'es
imc ..it, a 1tottic with sunance and friends.
I deem it improper and :unnecessary, in this re -
sponse, io give in detail'n'y views upon the various
and subtle isues arising:out of this vexed question.
These is another and mbre appropriate field for the
arguments of ,Candidates,jvhere, if it becomes ne
eUssary, I shall not hesitate to play my part in the
drama of the" Toll Gat.

TO "HAlY OF THE PEOPLE."
LBElVING the " Legislative Chart,", furnished
