The merchant has to close his doors, And throw is ledger by; Such times he vows were never seen - By any mortal eye. The shopmen quit the counter's side For customers are so very few, The times are now so very " TIGHT" It makes them all look " blue;" The citizen in vain essays SmTomke more than his bread; Apound of which he now declares Won't weigh a pound of bread I There's not a day but some one fails, .ome house that goes to smash; And names that once stood high on CHAsEs, Are out for want of CASH. Those whom we tho't were XILiAoxAIRES, And rich in shsys and stocks, Their " MULLION aRxas" now disappoint; Fail and leave no " Rocks." "Hard times! hard times!

At the meeting of the State Temperance So ciety recently convened at Chester, the Com miftee, through A. M. Kennedy, the Chairman, presented-the following report recommending the "Newberry Sun," to the patronage of the friends of Temperance, as their organ, which was unanimously adopted. 'A better selection could not.have been made; neither could the State Temperance Society have bestowed their suf frages upon one more worthy of such favors than T. P. -.SLarx, Editor and Proprietor of the t" z Su Here is the Report,: propokition of the establishment of a Newspa per, or the adoption of one now existing, as a medium of communication and an interchange of views among the friends of Temperance, re port: The great necessity of such-a paper is a pro position so plain, that it requires no argument to demonstate it; still we are painfully impress ed *ith the fact that attemps lately made, have failed for want of that support which would - even pay for the materials, much less give a re muneration for services rendered. Temperance, like Religion, cannot be sustain ed without the needful. Let the friends of our cause show their zeal by their works. Unfor tunately we have many friends until called on for pecuniary aid, profess in high sounding words their love, who. become suddenly chilled, when appealed to sustain by their purse those means required to further the work. We want that spirit awakened which will give as freely to sustain virtue and temperance, as alas! the opponents of our labors exhibit in a profusion of money and means which scatters broad cast the seeds of sorrow and death.. Your committee are happy to learn that there is in contemplation the enlarging of a paper now published at Newberry U. H., to be called the "Sun?" From the prospectus placed in our bands, and the names of the gentlemen who have charge of it, we hesitate not in recomn mending it as an organ worthy of our cordial support, and believe its free circulation in the State will, like the glorious orb of day, dissipate the moral darkness yet lurking in many parts of our beloved State, and warm up the latent energies of our friends, now dormant for the want of a knowledge of what is doing in furth-' erence of the work. Let this paper then be a common exponent of all orders and societies in our State, and let each vie with the other in obtaining the largest list of paying subscribers, -:anti for this purpose let each member of this Convention considcr himself a committee of one, charged with this special duty ; and we cannot conceive of a means better adapted to secure the final triumph of truth and virtue over vice and error. Be it ResoLced, We recommend to the friends of ~Temperance in South Carolina for their support - .and liberal patronage, the Sun, to be published :at Newberry C. H., and feel assured their con fidence will ntot be misplaced. Respectfully .submitted. PLowING Dr S-rrn.-During the present -week'the farm occupied by Mr. F. Nash Wood ham, at Wimbish Hall, and the property of Thomas Selby, 2Esq, has been the centre of at traction to the entire population of the neigh *borhood for many miles round, and especially to persons of all classes engaged in the agricul ture, it being known that Mr. Woodhim had .eflgaged .Boydell's patent traction engine to plow the land there on Tuesday, Wednesday and -Thursday, and that under proper restrictions the performances of this novel monster would *be free to the inspection of the public. A pri vate trial took place on Monday, but early in, -the forenoon of the next day the public exhi bition~began. The field selected was a piece of twenty-three acres, called Mill Field, near the White Hlart Inn, and at the back of the village. The first start was with two double plows, but as it was an. exceedingly heavy soil, usually pidwed with three or four horses, very foul, and from being lately drained, not lying well, it was difficult for the engine to pass over it, and after a pause fzur single plows were attached, and al though at first, from not being able to get the going gear to work favorably, sonme little delays were caused; after a time, under Mr. Boydell's personal superintendence, they did their work admirably, plowing from six to nine inches deep. The work was wonderfully straight, though done 'in the midst of a targe concourse of spectators, who were evidently deeply interersted in the ex. periment. So clung and tough-so close and heavy was the nature of the soil, that, in an *swer to inquiries made as to how the matter was going on, the Qbservation of these who knew -the locality was, " Well, if it can plow here, it can plow anything." Many farmers who en tered the field prejudiced, were unreluctant in *their praise, and acknowledged that the won derful .machinp, being still in its infancy, would, .. imrovements followed, effect an extraordi nary change in the cultivation and managemeni of land of every description.-Chemsford (Eng. Chronicle. ' A RicH PuFF.-A manufacturer and vendei of quack medicines recently wrote to a friend of his, living out West, for "a good strong" recommendation of his (the manufacturer's] "Balsam." In a few days he received the fol lowing, which we call pretty " strong:" DEAR Sr:-The land composing my farm has hitherto been so poor that a Scotchman could not get his living off of it, and so stony that we had to slice our potatoes and plant the medgeways, but-hearing of your balsam I put some on the corner of a ten-acre lot surrounded by a rail fence, and in the morning I found the rock had entirely disappeared, a neat stone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split into even wood and piled up symmetrically in my back yard. I put half an ounce into the middle of a huckleberry swamp, and in two days it was cleared off, planted with corn and pumpkins, and a row of peach trees in full blossom through the middle. As an evidence of-its tremendous strength, I would say that it drew a striking likeness of my oldest daughter, drew my eldest son out of a mill-pond, drew a blister all over his stomach -drew a load of potatoes four miles to market, and eventually drew a prize of ninety-seven dollars in the lottery. -4 JUDGE BURKE, of South Carolina, rode on horseback from circuit to circuit, accompanied by a servant, who was directed to keep close behind him, while he meditated as pleased him self by the way. Joggling along in this way, ,on one occasion, the servant pressed up too near to the horse which he rode, and which happen ed to be an ill-natured brute, and the conse quence was that the horse kicked the negro on the leg, who, observing that it had not inter rupted his master's study, sprang off his horse, and picking up a stone, threw it at the beast, which it unluckily missed, and took effect be tween the Judge's shoulders. The instant the negro saw what had been done, he fell in the road with his hand clasped around his leg, and crying out in apparent agony. As soon as the Judge could straighten himself, he turned around, and said to the prostrate negro, "Ste phen, child, what ails you?" "Lor, massa," was the reply, "your horse, just now, kicked me on the leg, and almost broke it." " Well, child, said the Judge, "he just now kicked me between the shoulders, and almost broke my back, too." THE ToNGUE.-A white fur on the tongue attends simple fever and inflammation. Yel lowness of the tongue attends a derangement of the liver, and is common to bilious and ty phus fevers. A tongue vividly red on the tip and edge, or down the centre or over the whole surface, attends inflammation of the mucous membrane of the stomach or bowels. A white velvet tongue attends mental diseases. A tongue ed hatehpk,-becoming Wron,..dry~anddaph. attends typhus state. The description of symp toms might be extended indefinitely, taking in all the propensities and obloquites of mental and moral condition. The tongue is a most ex pressive as well as tnruly menber.-Scientific American. HuMAN GLoaR.-The temple of Jerusalem passed away; and of its magnificence only a few crumbling, pilgrim-kissed stones remain. The Parthenon, the brightest gem on the zone of the earth, is now a heap of ruins. The Ro inan Forum is now a cow market; the Tarpeian Rock a cabbage garden; and the Palace of the Cmsars a rope walk. The Pyramids thenmselves -those gigantic memorials of a gigantic age are all hastening to decay. The Tiber. once so elebrated, is a muddy stream; the Illisus once so glorious, is choked with weeds; the Olym pus, a black hill; and the Acropolis forsaken. BE GEN'rLE AT o.m.-There are few fami ies, we imagine, anywhere, in which love is not abused as furnishing the license for impolite ess. A husband, father or brother, wvill speak arsh words to those he loves best, and those ho love him best, simply because the security f love and family pride keeps him from get ting his head broken. It is a shame that a mian ill speak more impolitely, at times, to his wife r sister than he would to any other female, meegt a low and vicious one. It is thus that* he honest affections of a man's nature prove o be a weaker protection to a woman in the fiuily circle than the restraints of society, and hat a woman usually is indebted to the kind ess and politeness of life to those not belong ng to her own household. Things ought nut o to be. Tfhe man who, because it w~ill not be esented, inflicts his spleen and bad temper pon those of his hearthstone, is a small cow rd, and a very mean man. Kind words are irculating mediums between true gentlemen ad ladies at home, and no polish exhibited in ociety can atone for the harsh language and isrespectful treatment too often indulged in between those bound together by God's own ties of blood, and the still more sacred bonds of onjugal love.-Lifei illustrated. Some nine years since, a letter wa-s received in New Orleans, directed to " the biggest fool in New Orleans." The postmaster was absent, and n his return, one of~ the younger clerks in the aice informed him of the receipt of the letter. " And what bcame of it ?" inqjuired the post master. " Why," replied the clerk. "I did not know who the biggest fool inm New Orleanms was, and so I openl the letter myxdf." " And what did you find in it ?" inquired the postmaster. " Why," replied the clerk, " nothing but the words,'& thou art the man~.'" PRETTY ExcUsE roR A wlFEa BEATER.-The treasure which we value most we hide. A Yankee don't care for truth, he won't ac cept it, unless you first prove to him that it is worth at least ten per cent, per annum. The Sandersville Georgian says there is an unusual amount of sickness at this time in Washington and the adjoining counties. All the diseases are said to assume a typhoid form. Not many are aware of the origin of the word " boo !" used to frighten children ? It is a cor ruption of Boh, the name of a fierce Gothic General, the son of Odin, the mention of whose name spread a panic among his enemies. H E who cannot feel friendship is alike incapa ble of love. Let a woman beware of the man who owns that he loves no one but herself. "By"said an ill-tempered old fellow to a nos aawhat are you hollerin' for when I am going by ?" "iHunmph," returned the bo1, " what are you going by for when I am holler-in' ?" A great many human beings dig their graves with their teeth. We see it stated that the Mormons have adopted a new alphabet of thirty-six letters foi their owvn use, for the purpose of raising up: barrier betwen the Saints and Gentiles. ENGLISH FAIR PLAY. There is no quality of which the English ar more fond of boasting, than their habitual an( inflexible fair play. They talk of it everj where; they speak of it on all occasions. Thej elevate it above all their virtues, and insistupoi it as the leading national characteristic. Per haps it is, but penbaps, at the same time, thii reiteration may cover a defect, and John Bul be, in reality, no less touched with the leaver of ordinary human defect than other people ir the world. We know very well, that Johi claims to lead the universe in every descriptiox of exploit, and he being an old gentleman tole rably well stuffed with conceit, we do not ex pect him to be any more magnanimous that another, in affording facilities to get himsel beat. Indeed, if he were hard pressed in a fight we should expect to see him put a stone in hih handkerchief; as quick as any guerilla evei known. John's habit of fair play, tberefore must be credited only according to the measur of his human nature, and when we find il streaked with such veins of inclination, as have appeared in it of late, we are justified in coming promptly to the conclusion, that John Bull h some times a sort of humbug; or at least, o most, a mere man, as other men are. We have, in previous articles, given the histo ry of the appearance of the American horses in England, the sneers with which their preten sions were met, and we have likewise given a few specimens of the abuse which has been lav ished. upon us, for the. presumption of having challdnged all England to that trying test of blooded horseflesh-four mile heats. That sort of -ace, it seems, did not suit John Bull's book, and he-preferred to lie back, till he could catch us in his " handicap" races, where he could load us down with weight; or in his "weight for age" contests, where he would confine us to a short single dash of a mile, or two, or three. Being in England, and having no option but to submit to English terms, Mr. Ten Broeck was obliged to be content with their short and un satisfactory trials, and consequently entered his horses for the " Goodwood Cup," a weight for age race, or two miles and a half, with fourteen pounds allowance for horses of foreign birth. Straightway upon this entry, a clamor was set up of the immense magnanimity of this four teen pounds allowance, but on examining the other conditions of that race, we found that English horses, of the same ages as our own, were, under certain circumstances, and because of their defeats upon the English Turf, entitled to allowances which placed them at a rate of advantage, in the way of weight, much beyond our horses. The claim of liberality, therefore, fell at once, and we saw that the rule of the Goodwood Cup race, which allowed fourteen pounds to foreign horses, was a mere compromise of the claims of allowance which they might other wise have presented for contests let in their own countries, contests over which the English Jockey Club could have neither cognizance nor control, and consequently could not notice. The rule, therefore, concludes that fourteen pounds li-iibintheveige of rhat- unknown foreign horses might have been entitled to, had they been running on the British Turf. This is the philosophy of the fourteen pounds allowance, and as proof bow the rule sometimes work-, we refer to the table of the Goodwood Cup weights, under our English Turf head, where the name of a horse called Zig-Zag will be found, and who, though older than Pryor, carries six pounds less. This. however, though not the magnanimity it is claimed to be, is, nevertheless, fair play, for it is squared according to a settled rule, which we can understand, and willingly abide by. We come now, however, to something which we do not esteem to be fair play-notwithstand ing John Bull's great reputation fur that equali ty-and that something is the way in which the English umpire, who applies the weights fbr the Ebor Haudical (a single dash of two miles, to be run for on the 20th August,and for which ryor and Prioress and entered), has handi capped those American horses.

WmAvFnmosLns.-We believe it is generally conceded that the finest watermelons raised in the United States are cultivated in the neighbor hood of Augusta. In seasons favorable to the growth of the melon, they attain here a very large size and are of exquisite flavor. The present suminer has not boon favorable for raising melons, neither as to quantity or qnality. Although the crop is very delicient, vet thero is a thir deniand for melons in the up ir ,ortion of the State, as well as in the sever al villages on the line of'the Georgia railroad. Over seven thousand melons, the past week, were forwarded to Atlanta; and fully as manay, we p~resunme, to oth.er towns and cities in the I-r- having bcen stated for sonme timec past that Mr. Lorriaux has secured 3,000 acres of good land for sonic five hundred French Waldenses in Mononagalia county, Virginia, at the low price of seventy-five cents per acre, Edward 0. linn ker, Esq., of that county, writes fr-om Morgan town to pronounce the report false. Mr. Lorrmiux has not only not purchased any land any where in Monongalia county, but good land there is every where worth $25 or $30 an acre. So says Mr' Bunker. Wi~x-o.W extract fronm the Ander son Gazelte the following notice of this favorite resort of our citizens. The attendance seems to be annually increasing, and Willamiston needs only improved conveniences in the way of hotel accommodations to be one of the most popular summer retreats in the up country : " This delightful and interesting watering place has been literally thronged with visitors in search of healhh ror pleasure the whole summer. During the last wee.k, however,. it was comparatively quiet, the Commencement exercises of the Fur man University at Greenville, having attr-acted thither many of those who are fond of excite ment or the charms of the fair. Yet, there was still a large number left, .who would meet in a' social way in the evening at Williamston Hotel, and keep the ball in motion. The cool grove about the Spring affords a delightful retreat du ring the warmest part of the day, and is constant ly filled with scattered groups of persons who give themselves up to the pleasures of conversa tion. Williamston has a clever population, is easily accessible by Railroad, aud its Mineral water is inferior to none in the State. It has its advantages, and it is important that its means of accommodation should keep pace with the an nual increase of its visitants. The Williamston Hotel is a large and commodious building, and its proprietor, Mr. J. W. Cobb, is very kind and obliging, but it is quite probable that two of the largest Hotels in the upper country, would not more than accommodate the gradually increas -ing number of visitanti in a very short time. Tur most extensive .Brickmaking Establish ment on this continent is located in North Cam bridge, Mass. When in full operation, it manu factures, on a average, one hundred and eighty seven thousand briCks per day, or about twenty four millions during the season !

A sample of the fflour has been sent to the Academy of Sciences 'in Paris to report upon." AN OLD SUBJECT. It is not to be denied that our political con temporaries have vastly the advantage of neu tral sheets in the never-ceasing supply of sub jects for articles. Here, in these piping times of peace, when not one man in a hundred cares a farthing for politicians, a single topic, like, Kansas for example, will supply the raw mate rial for about ten thousand columns, and like the widow's curse, never give out. Kansas is like Miss Emma Stanley-only not so agreeable --it comes on in a vast variety of dresses, in the shortest imaginable time; it is now an old man, now an old woman, now a b'hoy, now a g'hal, now a border ruffian, now a psalm singing puri tan; and-then, again, a combination of puritan and blackleg-but is always Kansas, up for an exhibition and a speculation! Sometimes it is bleeding Kansas, and the hearts of half the old *women in New England are broken in anguish for its woes; then, again, it is fighting Kansas, which is the farce after the tragedy. Kanas never appears so comical as when it is just going to have a civil war and break up the Union. We have' not pretended to count the number of times the Governor of Kansas, for the time be ing, has moved down upon Lawrence with four companies of dragoons, and the citizens of Law rence aforesaid have sworn that they would not be dragootfed; and the New York Tribune de clared that civil war was imminent, and the rest of the nation stood still to see the first sprinkle of the fratricidal shower, that should quench the last hopes of human liberty; and freedom, shrieked, &c.; whereupon Jim Lane, finding that the troopers had balls in their pistols, backed down handsomely, the dragoons marched home, and the Union was saved. Never, since the son of ;Jesse was a boy, has there been such a fight iig fowl as Lane, and such a terrible battle ground'as Kansas. They are always going to do something, and never doing it. The kings and princess of Europe, who have been hanging on Kansas with open mouths, thinking that the big threats of cival war meant something, have a1l come to the conclusion that Kansas is a swindle and a humbug. The old despot of Naples is greatly enraged at the gase ous turn affairs are always taking in this coun try, when the absolutists have a right to expect that in the course of a few months, they would hear of something on this, side of the Atlantic very much to their advantage. The last phase of the Kaisas imbroglio relates to the inhabi tants thereof, and the simple question is,,wheth er the aborigines, wolves, panthers, free negroes, independent squatters, and other uncircumcised Phillistines, have a right to vote; and if so, how many votes each man is entitled to'posit at a time ? It is supposed that each side of each branch of this entertaining subject will be set forth in about seventeen hundred brief, enter taining, and.jocular four column articles, one to be taken every morning at breakfast time, while the coffee is cooling; after which the following race. after miat, slightly modified from the thanksgiving of the man who had been too long fed on rabbits, will be offered up by 'each indi vidual who survives the operation: Kansas hot Kansa ol,1 Kansas tender, Kansas tough, Thank the Lord, I've had enough." [Richmond Dispatch. FRoxi KANsAs.-By a private letter, we learn that there will be no fight in Kansas. The Lawrence people have given up to Gov. Walker, mnd the force of law and order supported by aragoons. Our correspondent states that the pro-slavery party had given up the contest for lavery before the arrival of Gov. Walker that the country is not suited for slaves-that Judge Elmore's negroes had most of them been rrost-bitteu during the winter-that the cold winds from the Rocky Mountains, sweeping >ver the land, with no wood to keep the negroes s warm a.they require, render the country mnsuited to them. We learn from the best au thority of friends who have just visited Kansas, ,hat this information is correct.-South Caro inian. TOO R1EMTESS. Why is it thant we of South Carolina cannot hohi our lnce in rest, and quietly view the lists md tilts, biding our time to do fiattle when our rowess is needed or will effect some great ob ect in the issue ? Ever restless, we are always mixious to be foremost in the fray, and heedless ,f cosequfences, expending our force on minor oits, while the plot thiickens for the grand dis 1lay of power and skill and united energy. 'lhese thoughts occur while we see the progress f vents in Kansas, where skirmishing is lrac ie, and we make issues with light troops agninst the heavy airtillery oft niumbers anid pre paredness. Better. did we looklinto the future nd burnish our arms and drill our ranks for the day, not far distant, when right will overcome might and power will yield to principle. The unipn of the South quietly and firmly, with the fixed determination to defend to the end the Constitution and our rights under it, is our duty-to meet the great issue with the North when it'does come, should be our purpose, and to prepare for it without being led into callate ral issues of minor importance, should occupy our ceaseless vigilance. Already the leaders of the Black Republican hosts of the North have issued their call for a 'convention to meet in September to take immediate steps for disunion. They say it is manifest the free States can live no longer under the rule and subjugation of the slave States-that the South is united can elect the President, and Congress, to rule thorn wvith. This is no time for us of the South to be distracted and divided. Our moral power on the slave question is stronger in the confederacy than ever before--it only requires united action and energy on our part to preserve the infuence which it gives us.. . England and France are moving in a diree tion to renew the slave trade. We have a joint treaty with England for its suppression, and our first move now is to propose its repeal. The Kausas question being settled-Gov. Walker's errors being forgotten-we have an open field, with the main army in view, to make us marshal dur forces for the conflict which is to settle the fate of the confederacy. With the Constitution as our shield, the Administration our ally the Dred Scott decision hanging over the North-with union among ourselves, Southern spirit to prompt and energy to pursue its coun sel-the South will be triumphant, and enjoy equality in the Union or independence out of it. -South Carolinian. FREE LovIsMr IN OH~o.--Free loveism has broken out in Ohio which, next to Massachu setts, exhibits the largest amount of mental de rangement in the population. At a recent con vention in Ravenna, one lady delegate said, " although she had one husband in Cleveland, sh considered herself married to the whole human race. All men were her husbands, and she had an undying love for them." She said also, "what business is it to the world whether one man is the father of my children or ten men are ? Ihave therighttosatywhoshall bethe father of my offspring." This universal aff'ection creed is crossed with spiritualism and a very strong trace of reliious infidelity. Whether the three will ,beomb incorporated into a new religion is yet a subject of doubt, though there are strong leannings that way. From the South Carolinian. KANSAS AGAIN. A few months since the South enjoyed greater unanimity in action in the election of President than had ever existed before-we were more united is a Southern people than at any previ ous time. The Democratic party was the means of bringing about this state of things, and they effected what the South had never been able to do, concentration of Southern influence in sup port of a statesman nominated by that party. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill gave evidence that the Democratic party was a constitutional party, and the South united with it, as she has ever been constitutional, in bring ing into power the present Administration. It has never been held that the Democratic party or the Administration was to exert any influence to make slave States for us-all that we have expected was to be allowed equal pri vileges with the North in settling the Territo ries, and to be supported in carrying our pro perty where we pleased. The Democratic par ty by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise opened the country to us in Kansas, and we had then the opportunity 'of making Kansas a slave State-we made an issue with the North in relation to it, and have been out-voted. Our papers undertook to stir up our citizens to the great interest of the stake-our districts hid committees to'collect men and money to colonize the Territory and extend our institutions into Kansas. Our -young men: went in and-took possession, where spirit at pluck and intelligence could have sway, and we gained the ascendency, 1 and foolishly supposed that we had made an. other slave State. We did not send families with their slaves to possess the land, and to hold it by their votes-we did not send bona fide settlers to live in the country and to im press our institutions practically there-no, we made a great stir, and became possessed of the. idea that Kansas should be a slave :State,- be- - cause we willed it, and were determined it should be so. We boldly went into the game without preparation, and have been out-voted. Where are the Southern votes in Kansas? We assert that, next to climate, the fundamental principle is that the sovereignty of the people s to settle the question in the Territories, yet we have neglected to send our sovereign people a to vote for our institutions, against the sover- I eign people of the North who have gone there. C What is the pro-slatery vote in Kansas? Some X 5,000! What the vote of the Northern colonists or settlers? About 17,0001 How many slavest have been carried into Kansas ? All told, about' 153! Yet Kansas should be oui-s-it ought:to d be a slave State, although many of those slaves . have been frost-bitten, and their;footing in a .s cold climate.clearly shown to be totally a fail:. i ure! But Gov. Walker. has. been treacherous,: and has used his influence. against us-he has. given the force of authority to prevent Kansas ' becoming a slave State-the Administration d has supported him incarrying out their instruc tions to protect the people in their votes, and therefore the former- should ~be recalled,. and. f' tr We mast however humiliating to the pride a f the SoutA, Tdiit t. ic..ajour duty to D ourselves to have made Kansas a slaierate p as we had made the issue-let us admit that h re failed in the effort, and that we have no v right or reason in throwing the onus on Gov. t< Walker, or tho Administration. Admit that t4 Gov. Walker committed acts to prejudice our tl ause, did we not omit acts to secure its success? o Admit that Gov. Walker acted unwisely and I beyond his instructions, and that we think the a Administration should recall him, why should r, we of the South insist upon it, if the people of t Kansas are satisfied with their Governor? He r, is not our Governor-he has been sent to Kan- b 5as to govern that distracted country, and when r he got there he found a state of things existing b that called for a somewhat different policy to p that lie was expected by the South to pursue, ti d lie pursued that course whi-h he supposed si rould be the best for the Territory, and the d onstitutional conservatism of the Government. v e satisfies Kansas but his course has not given si matisction to us, and the South extensively h ondemns him. Well, make him out a second ir trnold, or the veriest traitor in the world, we h ae lost Kansas by our own acts, not by his. is Our pro-slavery friends in Kansas were instant n their appeals to us for men-for votes-but e responded feebly-they have long since ; bandoned the hope of making Kansas a slave y State, and they approve Gov. Walker's course a and support him in his. efforts to get for the i South a constitutional State-in other words, a t St ate that will be Democratic-the terms being tj n our Southern political nomenclature nearer e together than is the case with any other party. n dmitting that Gov. Walker has deceived us, h and his course been distasteful to us, why should d e decide on his final execution, before the si onvention of Kansas acts? The sovereignty a f Kansas is in thi.eir Convention-that sover eignty is to settle the fato of Kansas. We t abide its action. Our lukewarmness and neglect of opportuni- e ty has changcd the issue in Kansas from pro- y slavery and abolitionism-to that of the Con- a stitution again~st Black Republicanism. That is the struggle now. We have made a wrong issue on this Kansas( question, so impetuous and eager were we to I test Southern rights, and we have gone into battle without our hosts, and been overwhelm x by numbers. Why should we allow such an issue .to create division and dissension amongt ourselves? Rather let us promote union for the great issue pending when the North and South will be arrayed against each other in a greater battle than has yet been fought-when Southern man and a Northern extremist will be before the whole Union. Then the union of the South will tell in the Union or out of it. Let not such an issue as that of Kansas divide us or breed distraction in our ranks. Let us keep cool, moderate and firm, igut be united. DIAxD CUT DrAMOX.-A couple of patent "safe" sharpers got hold of a supposed green horn, yesterday, near one of the hotels, whom they found to be so extraordinary verdant that caution on their part was entirely laid aside.
