The Southern Light.
- The J-innary number of this journal is before us,
full of interestin' matter, original and selected. It
scarcely !eenm-s us. who are its publishers, to speak
of the style in which it is gotten up. The marked
improvement of the new issue cannot fail to strike
the public eye. We only wish our friend of the Light
would make greater exertions to tend abroad, more ex
tenlivelv, lis lucubrations and otr handiwork. We
wish too that bnthi he and his associate would resolve
within-tlaemselves to bestow a large portion of their
time and atteniton upon the pages of their young pub
lication. Thus alone can any paper be made really
deserving of public patronage. With a Monthly thiis
is peculiarly the case. It is not regarded as is an off
hand daily, or even a weekly. h is looked upon more
as a book ; and its preparation ought to evince care,
thought and stud y, ont the part of its conductors. Witha
thtis kind of attention the editors of thec Southaern Light
can easily attain stuccess. Without it, neither this
nor any othter mounthly, can in any wise flourish.
SCIENTIFIC ENTERTAINMENT.
Wsare told there is-tat be a Scientific Entertain
ment, by Sir. H. Jaesstyas, one night this week, either
-at the Plaaater's Hotel or in the Courgouse. In fact
we have struck off' a set of hills for- Mr. J. -When
they are posted, the public will see whaat, when, anid
where, thte entertainament will be. Thlis mucha we can
aqyin.a.van~ce: that it aeal bgn with Ph a
gorian illustrations of Scriptural views, wilT poee
thence to Astronomical teachings, and swill wind up
with "Amusing Comic Scentes.".
NEWV ADVERITISEMtENTS.
.A ttentIon is directed tusuandry fresha advertisements.
Mr. Parsn's, upou gardena seeds, is exactly ini season.
His views upton that subject are ettrely correct, atnd
we are glad hae has laid in so full a supply of seeds.
Mir. Sat'n', in the business of Cardages Buggies
&c, ought to be read by all. F. L. S., is a clever fel
low aand deserves a good share of public patrorange.
Thte addittuonal advertisements of CRANE, and of
Sugan, Angusta Ga., also deserve attention. We
were down the other day tand found the Augusta Dry
Goods market a most inviting one, CRANE and Sutaa
among thec best.
It will be seen thast a new Watol.-repairer is now
amongst us,
The "'Progressionist " an organ of Universalismn,
also solicits thec notice of our readers.
lION. Wv. Wv. BOYCE.
We are pleated to see that thtis talented Congress
man oaf ours is making himself felt in Washington,
upon that most important of all the practical qnestions
now before the country, "thte Tariff." Sometime
since, Mr. Bovcc took an early occasion to place be
fore the coutntry hais views upon this interesting subject.
We admired. at thte titne, the perspicuity of hts re
marks, the method of his argument anad thte tenor of
the policy hte advocated ; and we haave been expecting
to hiear more from him upon this great topiic. We
have not been .i'r-ppa-inted. Early as the debtate has
been sprung ttpen this question during the present ses
tion, we finda haim, ike a true knighatat his post, armed
cap-a-pie, anti ready at all points. The State of South
Carolina looks to haim wvitha r onfidence, and feels at.
suced daat hais ability and intelligence will carry ott
as far as possible, her well-known principles in tisi
regard. Mr. BorcE is an htortest andt a faithaful politi
ciana. By his indepenadance arid inatelligence, he has
commanaded tihe respect of our Natonal Legislatre.
Let him go ott boldly, and he will deserve, and re
ceive, the plautdits of an admairinig constituency.
" PLOUGH, LOOM & ANVIL."
This is a neat agricultural joaurnal, published in.
New York, at $3 per antnum. We cannot accede to
he publisheg's proposition to print his prospectus for
htis paper. If we want it, we can suabscrihe for it.
Idependent of all politics, Northtern agricultural
works do net suit a Southtern latitude.
CIIARLESTON MEDICAL JOURNAL &
- REVIEW.
A medical friend has kindly placed uporn our table
an able naumber of thtis publi -ation. After a careful
perusal of its pages, we agree with him in regarding
it one of thte lgodest and best journals of the kitnd
that has ever fallen utnder our notice. Its editor, C.
HarOtL-r 3. D., is evidently the man for his poasi
tin ; direct, explicit, inadependent and well-in formed.
The style and excntion of thae work are equal to
those of any of its compeers, North or South. Each
number comprises one haundired and forty-four octavo
pages, and contains a steel-engraved portrait of a
distinguished Medical man. Price, S4 per annaum,
payable in advance..
Although not upon our exchange lisr, we take real
pleasure int recommending this Review to the phtysi
cianas of our acquaintanace. 'It is not only a Southcrna
work ; but it is in every sense an admirable and a
rising work.

A POLITICAL DIALQGU.
Extremist.-I understand you to say that you were
a Nullifier in 1833.
Conservative.-I was scarcely of sufficient years to
take a position knowingly at that time. But my feel
ings all ran that way. My friends were nullifiers:
those wlms'a I admired were nullifiers; 3Mr. CALHOUS,
l1r. AlcDUzFE, Gov. HAYNE, Judge BUTLER, and
manyother distinguished men, were nullifiers; the
almost universal shou' of my State was for Nullifica
tion; and- , in short. I was a nullifier.
Extremist.-Very well. And you were also a Be
cessionist in 1851 !
Conservafive.-Emphatical%, YES.
E.rtremist.-A nullifier in '33 and a secessionist in
'51 and now a conservative !-how din you reconcile
this last position wi b your former faith?
Conservative.-I find no difficulty in my own mind,
however patent the seeming inconsistency may pre
sont itself to yours. My conscientious desire as a
politician always was-(of course you understand me
to mean since my mind ha' been at all inclined to the
ennsideration of snch matters)-always was, to see
advanced, in triumph and in glory, the great princi
ples of out Constitution; the #eat elements of our
Confederat ion's strength, the mightiest one of which
is tha sovereignty of the individual S'ates; and the
equal rights of American citizene Nnllification,
although now exploded as a political remedy, did (in
the instance of '33) no little good. Even those op
posed to the policy have been constrained to admit.
that happy results rapidly followed its agitation In
South Carolina; And this was doubtless so, not from
any inherent strength in the measure itself, but on ac
count of the high objects of justice and eqnality had
in view by its advocates. We were nullifiers in South
Carolina, not to dissolve the Union, but to reform the
government.
Ertremist.-And will you tell me that your Seces
ion movement was characterized by a like conserva
tism ?
Conserbative.-As far as the strength and wisdom
of that party is affected by your enquiry, I answer,
it was. There were a good many Hotepurs in our
ranks, who descanted upon *the merits of that crisis
upon pure distunion grounds. They were distnionists
per se. Not so with the real worth of the party; The
Secession record will show, to the satisfaction of eve
ry impartial man. that the sons of Caroina were
prompted to that effort as a last report, to stay the en
rnachments of an unserupulons and unconstitutional
majority. Of course the proposed measure was a dis
union one in name. But who believes, now, that (if
successiul) it would have proven other than a most
powerful conservative measure? Had South Carolina
seceded, there would have been no blood spilt. There
would have been no revenue cutters to threaten her
sea-port. But the event wotuld have placed a great
question before the American Congress. It would
have been a question between South Carolina and
the General Government, in the decision of which
the voice of tte slave States would have been
potent. It would have precipitated the trial-fight be
tween Constitutional patriotism and Higher.Law
fanticism, which our present political captains tell
us must come on sooner or later. The Secessionists
elt that this was the real strength of their movement ;
and it was this that gave them boldness and zeal.
Their effort failed. They yielded gracefully to the
majority of their State brethern. A few were cha
grined, and rashly swore that they were dlone battling
for the Constitution, the South and every other object
of political iope. But the great body of that party
accepted the decision against them as an adequate
condemnation -of their policy. The old divisions
eased. The onily field of operations since practicable,
is that upon which the Democracy wages war against
both its ancient atnd its new-fangled fTes. Upon that
field are all our sister States of the Southt, entergetical
ly engaged. Upon that field is marsihalled, now, a
grat army that is 1o fight out the identical ends sought
to be obtained by thte Carolina Nultfiers of '33 and
the Caroliisa Secessionists of '5l. And there stanmds
South Carolina, Secessionists and Co-operadoh!ists.
It is her true ground for the nonce. Whmether it w ill
remain so, is to be determined by future develop
mets.
Rt -But do you not see that Abolitionism
- rth, and that our only hope is in
-fi sake of the South?
Itis jndeed rampanit, as
no it is no less true that the Union of the
South is thme trume arc of hersafety. But united how?
anti for what ? I answer, united by the conds of pa
riotism anil of itnterest; ttnited upon Constitutional
principles; utnited to achieve a triumph in the Union ;
united to save the, whole country, first ; anmd, if that
stnali be impossible, then united to save ourseltves.
This is the understattding of our position, as enter
tained by thme entire South except a few such invter
ate, unreasonable and impracticable extremists as
yourself.
Extremist.-Say what you wi.l, I am for South
Carolina standing aloof, asshe hmas done, till the time
for action arrives.
Conserrative. Then you are either a Southern
fanatic or a Southern illibuster, and I have no more to,
say to y ou.
" CA LHOUN DEMOCR ACY."
Is it asking too mutch of thme Columbia Times, to
diefine what it means by a " Calhoun Demucracy"as
contradistinguished from .a " Jefferson Democracy,"
or as compared withm thte Sound Democracy of to-slay.
We cannot imagine thmat MIr. CAt~uOUN. if now alive,
would be other than a Democrat on thme platform of
the Cincinnatti Convention. T here was nothing in his
life, either at its morning, noon or evening, to warrant
a dillerent opinion. Deep as was his solicitude for
tle welfare of his section, lie was yet a conservative
of the U!nion to the last, andI only yearned for another
hour upon the flour of thc Senate Chamber to point
tme wiay of safety for his country, his ur/hole country.
We therefore demur to the appropriation of his name
by the present ultra wing of Sonithmern Democrats.
That name, we earnestly insist, belongs to the Consti
tutional men of the Union, and not td any limnited set
of secedlers from thme Demucratic P'arty. It would be
dioiing great injustice to time memory of Jonts C. CALz
no~4, to make his name the watchmword of schi'ims in
the Democr-atic ranks, for the hare reason that he-was
opposed to the plan andI policy of Nominating Conven
tios. his spirit would be grieved to know that his
lesser views of expediency, and n' t his mighty teach
ings of Demnocratic truth; were to be muade thme starting
point of a ne w political school.
- anks of Tennessee and Georgia.
We observe a pretty little quarrel just struck up
b t ween the Nashville Union and the A ego-ta Chro n
ide and Sentinel, in regard to the respective merits of
certain ephemeral Banks in Georgia and Tennessee.
Those of Georgia have for several years been known
as " Wild Cat flanks." Why, or wherefore, we are
unable to tell, unmlesm it be that their condition and
prospects were particularly squally. The Georgia edi
tor, it seems, had gone so fatras to entitle sundry Banks
of Tennessee "One horse Banks ;" whereupon hits
Trennessee neighbor replies with indignant scorn, re
pells the Livery-stable itr-iuation, and advic-es the
press of Georgia to warn the country, and especially
to put " Georgians on their guard," against those cat.
amount speculations.
It is amusing to us, of South Carolina, to watch
these lit tle squabbles between our neighbors of Geor
gia and Tennessee. We, who never had two banks to
fail within our limits, can scarcely realize this species
of internecene jealousies.
The Ocean Telegraph.
It appears impracticable to establish a line of tele
graphic wires between America and England ,ivithtout
leaving bothI termini 0n British soIl and of c-ourse un
der tie control of British power. The objection hav
ig been raised thiat this would be placing immense
advantages ini Great Brittain's i;;ds in case of war,
Liu. Ialvra thtus reasons in reply:
"Our fellow-citizens who contrived, planned and
brought forn'ard this noble work are too-sagacious
and patrioti-euot to have perceived that, lying as It
loes wholly withinm the ca-ntrol of a f-reign Power,
tat P~wer, were it a nation of Gothms and Vandals,
might tiurn the pathm they w"cre about to make for thme
lig'tning alonig time bed of time ocean agrainst theiromwn
cu mntry int war; Wit they' ktmpyr thme people ontthe othmer
suie, snid trus-tedl to htighmer ay\d nphler sentimnents.
The British Governiment imerfere sa jih thme free tuse of!
that cable even in War! Thme sp-irit of time age y?
against such arm net, und no state within the pale of
Christendom, mouch less t~int great English nation of

Ihas time distitnguishted Lieutenant furgotten how

lhe threw htimself upon the generosity of heLr "noble
people" T hat page in her history might teach him
that she Is capable of anything, inm guardinmg against
t..me..ha..esr war.
But what waht we wit1 an Ocean telegraph, even
if one end rested under our flag? We remember
earing a talented daughter of JoHN C. Canitous re
mark years ago, that the Atlantic's wide"*4ater was
Dur proteetion against European politics, European
morals, and Enroppan infidences of every kind. The
remark made an impression upon us which has never
been erased. And we ptill seriously doubt the wisdom
o any step towards ineeasing the intercommunication
f the two hemispheres.
