seekgrs .fryou r fliee then, and the peuldie iWul deeline jing to the pole:mdyqublmeeleiot would end in a farce. The citizens have showr theoBselves so reluctant to serve on these.boardi withoot eompcnsation,.itat it has been founil iteces, sary to impose a-fine of five dollars for each non. attendance at a meeting, aid a fine of tily dollar4 for a refusal to serve during their tern. Suel would be the case in the election by the people (P the Connissin ers of all the Boards. The whol, affair wou'd be a mockery and totally impractie.cble, Who, that fol!IoweCl an honest oceupation, could summon the resolution to abandon it lone enough it vote for an Eseheator or Coroner ? Who would go to an election precinct to give his stffrage fPi. the Commissioners to approve the securities of pub. fie officers ? Such a Board is scarcely known tt one tenth of the District. Admit, though, that aI these, and the other clebtions claimed for theni b3 the Informcr, might be held and attended to witi zeal and punctuality by the people, and further ad mit, as stated, that there are three or four hundrei District or local officers to be elected in Edgefiel. every two years. The farmers might, then, lay aside the plough and the hoe, and devote themselve. exclusively to elections; and such a scene of famine, riot and confusion, we would have as " to frighteit - the reig of Chaos and ol.! night." It would be better, gentlemen of the Inforner, te live undrr the goivernme-t of the Hottentots, or ol the wild Arabs, or of the eanibals in the most fur; ous Island of the sea. than under 41 government resulting fromn the practical operation of all the prin eiples you avow. I assert that life, liberty and the pnrsuit of happiness would be better securd amnong the savages of the western forests or of the Feeget Islands than under a government like youts; and ii you have the miraculous success of persuading any respectable portion of the inlhabitants of Edgefieli Into your own faith and doctrine, then I sh:il bt ready to say, that men can be taught any thine rowever tnonstrous-ean be made dupes by aty one however shallow, (of course I impute no want ol undertanding to you) and deserve to be made vie tits by any body, that aspires "to that bad emi n1ence.". y You assert, in the Informer, " that three of th< local Boards of Cummissiumers, have authority ti tax the people itindably," and .that there is no tf fieient way for the people to reach them when they .abuse their truths." I appeal frot that bo'd declara tien to the grand juries ofthe country. The Commis sikmers are compelled, by law, to render a report oi their actings and doings to the -Judges of the Court of Commnom Pleas, and if any nisconduct in otlice is detecteu, a bill of indietmseut is ordered to be giveri out agaidtst thena forthwith. A nd, besides, every citizen of the District has the power and right t inform against them, and cause them to be it dieted either for neglect of duty, or tyranny,,o corruption. I know of no greater responsibility, than such officers are placed under, and I cannot conceive how it would be increased by btstowinu their election upon the people. If these posts of labor were offiees to be sought ott account of tlleir profit or honor, then perhaps the people might have somehigher control over their incumbentq, by com pelling them to appeal to the ballot box for their prmotion. but I have shown that there is no motive of reward or ambition, to induce anly sui~a ble tnen to so seek suh positions. Tihe most peculiar of the Informeirrs views is, 'that if the p.eople ilieted thtese lioards, " perhtaps new Court Hiouses and Jails, of bmrick utnd stone, wvould not thten be built as oftent as they tniow are.' JDo gentlemen really esteem it a calamity to have .comfrtable, secure antd spacious public buildings? Th-: most beautifiul ni distinguishintg mnark oif the - enlightenment and humanity of natioins is their .attentioni to precisely such thinrs. Wohmid -the -Informer immure the priso~ners int loathsome and pestiferous dungeons, calling bgmek the igtnorance, " the eruelty and intollerance oif thme dark ages, when vengeance was the object an tte criterion of putn ishment, instead of the preventiotn of crimte, antd the good order of society. The enlighmtenied and Chtristian spirit of modhern ages has availed itself of every ingenius and hmumane dlevice to amettliorte the unhappiy conditiomn on f those whomtti necessity has compelled tihe commuttnity to imiijtsont fur the gee eal safety an-I tranqjuility of the State-andl I oward has inscribed htis nanme on the piages of history, in nmnmortal chtaracters, by descending into the lowest cells of prison houses, to cheer and comfort thme <lesolate inmates, and by dev' tintg a life of cease less energy to thme itmphrovementt oif the miserable .state of the accused, the convicted, ammd the aban .doned of mankinul. G'odl help thme nmew Districts which are toi be formed under the autspiees of thme genttlemten of the Informer, if their refitned notionis oif punishitmnt, andi of Court iouses anid Jailsare to have a practical , fleet therin). But the argumtent of the gcntletmen is unsound here as everywhere. It is the State oif South Car lina, net in thme General Assenmbly, that decrees newo Court Ihouses and .Jails and thtat apprtopriates thme mtoney to buil thema fronm the treasury of the wihole State. The Comtmissionuers of Public Build ings are only the agenits of thte State to do thme work. They hamve the right to tax the peuiple for repairs an'd imiprovemtents, and for ontly that piur pose. It appears that the genth:tien envy the poor pri soners, and especially the negroes, who mtake thme corn and eotton to grow and Ilourih amnd reward the husbanudmen, thme free air oif heaven and the ,balmy breath of Spring. The perfume of roses and the fragrance of a flower garden is poisotn to their senses. But let mec here correct the errors oif the lInfor. mner. The Comnmissioners of P'ublic Uuildincs htave ntot constructedi, or designted to conustruct a hiewer garden in frontt of the .Jnil, at the cost or " several domsndred dollars." They have levelled thme yard in front and prepared aqueducts to carry oty thme water .and pirevent' its undermining the Court hionse and Jail ; and they have simply determnined to planit a little shrubbery and few sadle trees, and nll at thec .cost of one hundred and tacenty dollars. A few years ago the Grand Jury forced them to pint a wall .of Roman cement on thtree sidesof the Court H ouse, ;and at heavy expense, for the same object. The -" fancy brick wal' cost about twenty-seven liun dred er three thousand dollars ;and the " orna mental gratite and iron paling in front" cost abont fifteeni hundred dollars; and this wail wans creeted .to prevent imnproper communication with the pbriso .ners in Jail. The " long Alley called a Store." was purchased rind removedl for the safety of the Cout House and records at the repeated repres -ntations .of the Grand Jury, onf in obedience an~ answver .to a rule served upon the Commissiuoners of Publie Buildings, for the sumn of about twenty-onue hmundred and fifty dollars, whilst it was paying an annual ,rent of three hlundred ~dollars. The Grand Jury3 ibas .also directed tile Commissioners to piurchiase costly irin safes for the preservation of the records of Court. But after all, the public btuildintgs ar the property of the people, and not of time Village, and they ought to pay for them. The Commissioners of Public Bluildings though, are themselves large tax' payers, and theciimpositions they pot upxim othters, fall with equal weight mipor themwelves. They are men who stvdy their iteres1 alosely, and are not all residents of time Town o Edrrefield. it is not likely thterefo.re, that they wvonhl tax themselves swithout a cogent reason for Hi do ing. But those whp pay little or so tax complaii as loudly as those who pay the must, for what the heck in money they make up in bluster amid assume' patriotism:; and it i.m p~leasipg to some to rail againe existing e'rder. 'The planting of sr'me trees imm tim public square umo doubt elected more thani omme ma, comntent to the Legislature ; antd the fellow wit ..... 13....yi., Vilnage luxury, in tim loudimaest maol., was tound never to have paid a dine jnto the State treasury, or for objects of any publie'beielit, I am sorry, gentlemen of the Infi'r*ir that my i il!-health h::s cuapelled m11e, just at this time, to fur nisl you with a rather badly served dish. But' lhave confiteuce that you will only devour it with a keener appetite, and be the sooner prepared for the more chioice and delicate viands with which I hope to have thoe I eahh mid leisure to treat you in future. I eotttain towards you nothing but pcrsonal Aind ness, but I abhor your polities and statesmanship. I shall never wiltully say anything to offend your honor, as gentlemaeu, or detract from your private character ; but I a:nt sati.tied, that if, by any ap peals to your reason, or even by the scourge of satire, I can arrest your pr sent lieadlong course, I shall have laid you under a detit of eternal grati 1 tude, and acconplishel a greater good for you than any friend who ever admiinstured toyour utmost necessities. Unless you be aubnoiiosled in season, you wi:1 learn when too) late, that license is not liberty, nor progress, reform ;and that- when the peop!e, uhomn you now caress with all the blan dishinents of your trade, shall form a right appre ciation 'of your judgnieits and political mterits, you shall tll like ! ucifer. never to rise again. J- llN OF THE PEOPLE. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. HALIFAX, Eeb. 28, 1856. The British and N.rlh American Mail steam ship America has arrived at this port, with Liv erpool dates to the 16:h inst. The excitement with regard to the difliculties with the United States has stbsided. The appointment of 31r. Dallas as Minister to England has been well received. h'Ie Peace Conference meets next week at Paris. LivEr.rooL COTTON IARKF.T.-Cotton has ad vanced 1.8 a id. per lb.

The America passed, on the 12th, a Collin's steanmer in distress, headintg ip tIte English chan. nel. It was probably the Pacitie returiting. The pence conference opens on the 21st. It is said that Austria and France de-ired the qi. mission of Prussia, but Lord Palmerston refused the consent of England. The Dutch had concluded a treaty with Japan, by which they obtain greater ndvantages than have been accorded to any other nation. The London Times seems to fear for the sue cess of England in the approaching Congress. In the Ilouse of Contions, on the 15th, Mr. Roeruck moved the production of the correspon dence with the U:nited States and the instrue tions given to Crampton. Lord Palmerston re plied, defeniding the course of the government, but at the same time deprecating war with tie United States, as he believed the interests of the two cottntries were inseparable. The Der bvites have resolved to sustain Palmerston. *The Chancellor of thme E'xchequer was about to propose a newv loan of ?2m0,000t,000.
