TO THE CITIZENS OF EDGEFIELD. FELLOW C1T1ZPXs:-All in our village, and even most, if not all in our District, are aware of my hum ble efforts to build a Catholic Church at the Court House. The liberality and generosity of many among you have encouraged me to do so, and have given the first momentum to my movements. The rapid pro gress of the work, and Its present fine appearance, have induced many to enquire, "Where did the'money come from?" "When will it be finished ?" To an swer these enquiries and to gratify our numerous friends, and all benevolent citizens, I pen this commu nication. In order to co-operate with the first contributors and further their commencement, I have traveled South and Northward, on a collecting tour. No one could be better received, more kindly treated, or more goncrously aided than I was; not only by Catholic Bishops, Priests and people, but even by many of the various Denominations, whose acquaintance I had the pleasure of making long before Edgefield was inclu ded in my mission, and whose generosity proved that I was not forgotten by them, though time and absence had intervened. So far as Iwent I was indeed every where successful. At the very start, I made it a primary duty to pay from the funds collected by myself, for the Lot on .which the Church stands, and even for the cost of the Title Deeds. And hence, I wish now publicly to state, there is not one dollar contributed by Catholics or others in Edgefield District, appropriated to that purchase. Their contributions have been used as they intended, solely to aid in building the Church. The recent crashing and suspension of Banks in duced me to return to Edgefield with what I collected. On or about the 1st of last January, I entered the quarry. There I spared neither personal labor nor toll in bringing from afar, the necessary implements. I gathered around me faithful laborers, competent m.chanics, and a very skilful and efficient foreman, Mr. P. WusEismt; and assumed myself, without any contractor, the worrying functions of general super. intendant. The walls soon rose above their founda tions, grew upwards with the advance of each Winter and-Smmer month, andnow, with ripening Autumn, they are finished, roofed and nearly slate-clad, against the approaching winter. The Church, even as it is, in its beautiful Medieval Architectural appearance, the design of Mr. Nisanssic, Architect of our State House in Columbia, seems al ready worthy of God, and an ornament to our Vil lage, both which objects I had constantly Iu view from the beginning. Rt Rev. Dr. LYXcE, when here a few months ago, said it was the finest specimen of masonry South of Baltimore. It is4he assertion of gentlemen who have seen both, that it now ranks next to the Cathedral in Charleston, and has no compari son in the Diocess. Thus, instead of half burned brick, or a sort of that seemed to offer at first, and with ihich we deter mined to build,-through the kindness and permission of friends, I went from field to field in search of bet ter stone, and finally succeeded with great labor and considerable expense, in reaching here and there as much One blue and gray granite as sufficed to the lres eat; and soon I hope, with God's blesaing, I shall have quarried as much as will finish the Turret. Thus, instead of mere common discolored and un sightly stone walls and shingled roof, which was all our most zealous friends at first could hope for, we have now, through the goodness and favor of God, a. beautiful granite Gothic Church, which is nearly slated. But what shall I say of our fellow-citizens who so generously patronized, encouraged and suetained me ? Shall I name those gentlemen who bestowed so many favors and afforded me so many facilities? It would be invidious to do so. The disposition was general, and in order to be just, I should include all; for all, of all denominations, were personally kind, roartly and encouraging to me. The mute walls of the Churcb and my silent gratippl~e, are far more expres sive than a load of words, of what I feel; and that feeling and appreciation shall, with God's blessing, increase with the years lie may allow me, and last till my death. I might now begin to plaster had I the mneans. But I have not. It took all, and much more then I had, to sustain the work thus far, to put the Church se urely under cover, and to pay off fully all the Me chanIcs, 8tone Cutters and Masons, and also the la borers. I am .onsequenmtly compelled at present to suspend the work on the Turret, which is already above the roof, and must of necessity givo It tuore than ample time to settle. Hence I can neither now nnish the Turret or begin the plastering, till the debts alret 'contracted for roofing and slating are paid, and unt:l we shall have in hands besides, what will enable us to fit the Church for divine service. Pru dence and justice dictste this course. To meet these obstacles and to resume and finish in duo time, I hold that God is as good now as ever, and wrill be. With His blessing, and with the re nwedl exertion of our few but zealous and generous Catholks, anJ our inany co-operating friends, who recently doubled their flp4 rphscriptions-with the payment of gmpip subscriptions thast arp still due with the liberality of those gho have not yet contribu td, and who may be disposed to aid us; these, to gether with my own humble efforts, will, ere very long, nable us to finish and enter the Church-and there to adore and praise the God of our salvation, and to pray from our hearts, with charity unfeigned, for the eternal and temporal happiness of all of every clsa's, in and out of Edgefield, who everywhere contributed te aid us. With high regard and deepst gratlitld, I api, ful lo-citizens, your very humble and devoted servant, T. BIERMINGHIAM. For the Advertiser. DuAu: Ention :-I read an artice in your papmer of last week that dont suit me exactly, and I want to write and tell you what I thiulk about it, that is if you will let me. You know I am an old mann, and a very plain man, only a farmer,-neither rich, proud, nor city bred-still I think you will give me a small space in your valuable and useful paper. The arti cle I speak of was headed "Poets and Poetry," and ppeared to me to be an attempt at criticism on news paper poetry. Now, Mr. Editor, I dont believe in critiising one another; and you know there is an old snying that " people who live in glass houses must not throw stones." I dont mean any offence to any body, but that is an old saying you 'know. And another thing, I think it looks like casting reflection on the Editors to criticise what they sOO fit to pub lish ; for if any thing is sent to thepi and they 4ont thiak it fit to put in the paper, why all they haye to do is to leave it out, and say nothing about it; and it dount look right to me for any one to make remarks about poetry that the Editors think good enough to publish. All women are not gifted alike-some are gifted in one way, some ini aniother. Now my old lady has the gift of maklqg ths abust lighten broad and the sweet est butter in all the country round--and I consider that a great gift. We have been maurred. nqw nigh rtyars,. and by beingr careful. have managred Sn scrape together some property but we were both mighty poor when we ware married, though we were mighty happy too, for my wife had the gift of sing ing over the wash tub, and I consider that another great gift. She would dance over the house with her Jroom and duster and leave every thing behind her as neat as a pin. To tell you the truth, Mr. Editor, I consider my old lady a very gifted woman-though she never did attempt to write poetry to my knowl edge in her life. -'here is Miss Liddy Lovepraise a neighbor, of ours, who writes any quantity of verses about being deser ted, and deceived, and broken hearted, and craving to be loved, and all that sort of stuff. Well, would you believe it, she asked me and my wife Jemimy, to take tea with her one evening. So we went,' and such a tea sure enough ! To sum it up in a few words, I consider that about the worst meal of victuals I over sat down to; and still Miss Liddy Lovepraise considered herself a very highly gifted person. But, as I said to Jemimy after we got home; "Well, honey, I had rather have your gift than hers; for you make yourself and every one about you happy, while she makes herself and every one about her miserable, with her sighing and dying, and toaning and groaning, and cannot even cook a decent meal of victuals." But there is still another woman I want to tell you about before I close. You know little Mrs. Sparkle, or at least you know what delightful verses she sends you for your paper, but you would searcely believe how much she does beelde. Why sl is a littlc piito of a creature not much larger than a fairy, and-would you believe it ?-does all the washing, cookiag, and general housework for her family-has four children, the oldest three years, the second two, and a pair of twins not yet a year old-keeps evt-ry thing as neat as wax, and always has a pleasant word and the smile of an Angel for her husband whenever he comes home. And such poetry as she writes! Why it fairly makes my ears tingle and my mouth water for more of the saue sort. Now, I casP-ide her a real down right gifted woman; one of the right sort'1 nop of your love'lorn damsels, publishing through the pa pers that no one is fool enough to marry them; and wishing themselves dead in consequence of it. Jeminy wants to know if I aint going to send my letter to some of the Augusta papers-but I tell her no, not unless you refuse to publish for me, or as you would very politely say " decline." If such should be the case, then I should be obliged to send to Au: gusta to get my letter published. But not without, Jemimy-not without. I believe in patronising home inttitutions. I be lieve mighty strong in the Edgeleld tideertiser; and I believe in the Editors stronger yet, and think they are capable of working a reformation in their paper whenever it is needed.

Fellow Demeerds: Under the confederated system of government unider which so many States and commnunities live ini happiness andl prosperity, there are a few great principles recognised wvhich are deer to the hearts of Dem Cats throughopt the bpod pxtent. # this Viiii.

(Tremendous cheering.)' Par-. don me, fellow-citizens, for alluding to another fact-for alluding to the gallant ancestry which fought those battles. I have no misgiving that in'recalling the fact 'that slave holders helped to fight the battle of Bunker Hill the Demo crate of Boston will have less veneration for their memory. It was only this afternoon..that. I visited your Museum, and there I saw framed upon the wall a bill of sale of a negro, from one citizen of Massachusetts, to another citizen of Massachusetts. It was In the year 1771,. and only four years befo.rq the great battle of Bunk er Hill. Afterwardi, fellow-citizen,. your an cestry saw fit to get rid of that' institutionr; they did so in their own wisdcni, in their'own good time, and in their own way, without in iumanity to the slave and *ithentdetiiiiint to t'eir own pockets; they did so without dicta tion fron abroad. They did F.o- of their own free will and accbi-d; -they did so because they believed it was for their interest to do so. And now the States which recognise the salle insti tution claim the privilege of doing -the same thing, when and how they please; and only jf it shall please them so to' do. Whatever wed-, we shall scorn all dictation from any .source or any auarter uipon that subject. (Cheers.) Fellow citizens, whe-n that great battle for constitutional liberty was fought in this country for the Anglo Saxon race; when the banner then unfurled was unfurled over thirteen col, iiies, twelve, if not thirteen, -of thooM colonient recugniaed the in-titution of lavery. ~ Gradual ly, however, that institution ieceded to that portion of the country where it. now lives; but it did notearry blight and desolation in its train. On the contrary, oummunities, moral and religi ois, exist am.1 prosper.whem- that institution flourishes. .The same gospel, the same Christian religion, the sae principles of morality, the same love of the principles tof civil and religious liberity,' as well as the freedoms ot the ballot box and the purlty of the judidiae .reniie which exist among you;now exirt - and ier uherished there. -- - - - The objection to Democracy by* the Blae' .Republioan.liarty Is that-we-adhere.to-the peat chartcr of American liberty and the great char ter of the constitution, which provides th.t the rights of .tie seyeral States sball be.strictly. i constrge4..azd sacredly. prejerv4i.

The issues which we imet in 1851 have been one -after-another closed and settled. Even " bleeding Kansas" hias ceased to bleed. 11er wounds are healed, and it is not foir a southern hand to tear them open. Fanat ic- and demagogues at the North may endeav or to stir up bad blood and again fan the fires of fanaticism; apd load tho good sense of the people of Massachusetts and New England fronm their legitimiate pursuits- fronm their coiimmerce. their manufactures, and their mchanic arts, to plunge agii in the strifes of dlemagogues and rekindle the fires of fraternal'-hate.
