Reception: of Gen. La
fayette in
Camden, S. C.
Gcnornl Lafayette and suite nrrived
in Cumden on the 28th of March, 1825.
A eorpse of cavalry composed of the
compnnics of Captains Dean, Partridge
and William*, commanded by Captain
Deu.?, met I?afuycUe at tho North Curo
linn line, mid escorted him to Camden.
Ho was mot by the Intendant
in the vioinity of the town in
a carriage provided for the purpose by
the citizons of Camden. Ilia arrival at
the boundary of the town was announc
ed by caunun; he wm conducted thence
by the Lafayette escort of oavalrv thro'
Fair street, to the open old field, noar
tho old Headquarters of Lord Corn wallis,
where he was received by the officers and
soldiers of the revolution, and the citi
sens, civil and military. Immediately
after his rcoeption a national salute wps
fired from tho old star redoubt. Hewta

dier Gen. Blair, as military officer of the
day, and Major John Cautey ai chief
marshal, assisted by William MoWillie,
fea., to Bull street, thenoo through
Bull street to Broad street, thenoe up
Broad street to Lafayette Hall. The
owroh was oouducted in the following
0I?6F ? ' ; it
Military in oolumn on the right; citi
zens; general oommittee; municipal
officers; State offioenr, Federal officers;
officers and soldiers of the Revolution;
baud of music; General Lafayette; suite;
Captain Deas' j^afayotte escort of cav
alry. .
When the right of tho column arrived
near Lafayette Hall, they formed line,
and ?he whole opened ranks and faoed
inwards, wheu Lafayette aud suite, end
the officers snd soldiers of the Revolu
tion passed through the ranks to the
gate iu front of Lafayette Hall, whore
tho Genoral was reoeived by a deputation
from the committee of arrangements.
On entering the gate the female pupils
of the academies who wero stationed iu
the enclosed area of bis quarters, sang
the following ode, and strewed his way
with flowers, as he advanosd to the
portioo of the Lafayette Hall;
"Welcome Blighty shlsf, ones mors
Welcome to thla grnteftil shore;
Now no mercenary foe,
Aims ngntn the total blow?.
Alum at Mm the fetal blow,
Virgin* Mr and matron* grave,
TIimo thy conquering arnia did save,
Build for thoe triumphal bowera;
Btrewye Mr hi* way with (lowers?
Strew your hero's way wlth iowvra."
He was then introduced totheoffioera
and soldiers of the Revolution, and after
taking aoiue light refreshments, his
return to the portioo was announoed by
the band of masio. Immediately after
tho musiooeased he was addressed in the
following words fey Colonel Henry O.
Nixon: Y<
Genera): We coagratblste you on
your srrival iu the State, and are delight
ed with your visit to Cuuiden, We have
no glittering legions, no triumphal urch
?s, no empty pugoonte, no Roman feasts
to greot you, but we hava a been to offer
more aooeptable than them all, welcome
hearts.
Sir, your visit to Amorica has given
a new page to history. The glory of si I
Grecian and Roman triumphs, Aide
before it. The ear of the militanr des
pot maw be fVetted with ?plencfoir, but
it rolls in blood. Vassals mock while
their flatter, sod despise while they
praise. Yours is decked with the gase
of an admiring eountry, and hailed with
songs of gratitude snd joy. In a word,
sir. yonr triumph k a trumph of the
heart, and yon can
"Read your graUlad* la a nation's eye.'
Your visit bffi alao enabled the eiti
sens of this United America to give a
refutation to the calumsy, that, "Re
publics are uugrstcfbl." The shades of
Miltiadce, G imillns. Socrates snd Seipeo
will no longer raiee in judgement sgsioxt
the ingrstitudo of republics.
General, in the dsvs of jouth, when
the fkney is sn4 to W mplilated by the
pageantry and splMdonr of palaees and
courts, yon east your ejptt across the
Atlantic, snd behold in the wilds of
America, a people struggling to be frne.<
Destined by Heaven for snbllme purpo
Soa, jrou left iamiljr, ooustry, wealth and
nobility, to engage in the storms of ?
doubtful rvToluUon. Tbo pen of the
historian was suspended to solve the
eoisnni of your motive; it has been solv
ed and confirmed by the stern oonsist
euqy of a long Ufa, evincing under every
vieiaiitude a heaven born love of liberty
and mac. I would not flatter you, sir,
if I could. It ill beoomea a freeman's
pride and I do it not, when as the organ
<.f>y fellow citiscus I assert, that con
duct so disinterested, so noble, so etherial,
throws human nature with altots boasted
dignity into the shade; it was an amas
ing triumph of philosophy over self love,
it cclipsed the highest conceptions which
bad been formed by man; it plucked the
highest stars from the diadom of,royalty.(
Astonished tymots trembled while they
guscd; euviod what thoy dreaded; adwi*
red whet they feared.
Imtuodiutely after your arrival in
America, you associated yourself with
ofir Washington, whose character, by
your description, the accomplished
oourt of Louis the XVI admired, and
whom, no dbubt, in coosequenoe of your
generous representations at l'ottsdam, the
great Frederick of Prussia sent a pledge
of remembrance, with the fg Wowiog in
seriptioD : ??From the (Jdrst general M
E urope to the greatest general in tAe
irwrW." Yon consecrated our soil at
liratidywliio, in your first battle, in your
blood. You exhibited at Monmouth
decision and judgment in oounoil?delib
eration and bravery in battle. At James
town you arrested th? gallaut impetuosi
ty of Wayne and bis division, and ws
can never forget your gallantry in storm
ing the redoubt st the investment of
Yorktown. And General, how delightful
is the refloctiou, that the influence of
your revolutionary serrioca is not confi
ned to this Republic; it is destined to
make the whole American continent re
joice. Indeed, the knell of South
American tyranny ha* sounded. Inde
pendence has been proclaimod from the
summit of the Andes, and tyrants startle
on their thronos. And how transporting
is tho thought that the spirit which
sprang from the Revolution mfcy yot
eradicate tyranny from the earth. Murk
at its approach, how thrones totter,
monarchs sink, systems vanish and des
potism expires. Little, sir, did Britain
imngine, when our groan" wero dying
unheeded on her blasts, that they wens
of tho elements of that revolution which
was to eclipso her fume, astonish the
earth, and give birth to a Republic ?
Little did our anoestors imagine, whon
they were ground down by colonial op
pression and bleeding uuder the weight
of chuins, that they were the pioneers of
liberty. Few, very few of thf.ni, General,
remain to meet you here. Many, very
mauy of them, expired before the day
star of freedom had risen in the west.?
Could they, in the wild dream* of anguish
and despair, have caught, evon in distant
perspective, a gliuipeo of the bright vis
ton o&dur ogmr^n^
uot have beeu proud of their chains ? J
Would they not have thanked their God I
for t!i?lr sufferings ? But the report
has rcachvd the departed in heaven, and
if the spirits of the dead are permitted'
to sympathise in the affairs of tne living,
they rejoice iu the fame of their sons'.
After acting as the champion ot freedom
in the New World, you returnod to the
land of your sires covered with the laurels
you had won The eehoes of their de
liverance and joy had scarcely oeisod,
before France caught the flume of rovo~
lution from this sido of tho Atlantic?
The prayers of America did not provail.
The Genius of Freedom was dojtnod to
weep over the tomb of Liberty in France.
The spirit of our people followed you
with intense anxiety through all the
vicissitudes of a second revolution, from
the nssciublago of the notables to the
proclamation of the Duke of Brunswick,
and the triumph of tho Jacobins. It
followod you into exile, sympathised with
you at Luxumburg, wept over your
chains at Wesol, mourned with you Id
the gloomy dungoon of Magdeburg,
cheered you iu the poisonous dungeons
of the castlo of the Jesuits, reioioea with
you at the treaty of Campo Formla, and
inspired one of the gallant sons of Caro
lina to risk his liberty and life to redeom
you from Omultc. And this spirit will
follow you forever I Whether you bfc in
palaces or in dungeons?in the oountrv
of the freeman or tho slave. But, General,
it would be delightful to the Amerionn
people if you could make your home in
their land. Are you not uuirkod iu your
oourse by the iealous eye of the despot ?
Will you not be visited with his fary
when yoa return ? Why uot live wth
us ? Why not die with us, and let the
shades of Vernon rent upon vour grave?
America is your country, hor oitisens
your sons 1
i Guneral, your visit to Camden exoites
sublime emotions; we livo over in fancy
the scenes of its early history; though do
splendid edifioea, no gorgeous temples,
no oloud cup pod turrets meet your eye;
still, there aroassociations oonneeted with
it wore imposing than them all. It Is
seated on classio ground. Its hannts
are consecrated by tho shades of heroes,
its plains honored by their dust. Moil*
uments of the revolution, on all sides,
remind us qf the deedx of our fathers. ?
In its bosotn roposes General DoKalb,
your friend and companion in arois,??
Inspired with a holy enthusiasm in the
cause of freedom and mankind, he buff
eted with yeu the storms of a perilous
ooean. With you, he first touched
American foil in Carolina, and doubly
sanctiftal it, by hit irst visit and his
hut rigk\ and you are now, Id your old
age, to deposit a stone over htt ashes,

&uc Duty J? Help Each Other.
The following seusible article we tako
frota the Savannah JFVee Pre**:
/In this day of the ory of hard times,
moro in fancy than rpality, perhaps it
roocoraes each and every ouc to do his
duty in a practical ana not a theoretical
way. Money is made to spend ; for wo
can noithor eat or cl<<thd out?elvos with
it. It is the representation of labor : or
like manufe, to do good', it mast be sent
terod in the right plaoe and at the .right !
time. , . ? /.
An wo must live upon our labor,
which is money, thou it bohooves us to
put ottr moony where it will do the
most good, wd that place is among our
selvos; who live in tho same plaoo, bear
the Bame burden, are of the same socio*
ty, and dependont upon oaoh othor for
support. The money that is spent in a
oity goes from hand to baud, but that
?eat out, is a doad loss.
To Illustrate : Your grooery bill U*
made at home, the grooery merchant gets
the money; he buys his olothing at home;
the clothing merchant buys his wants at
hftme, and if eaeh and every one would
bay at home their wants, the money in
kept In circulation at homo. All roouivo
the benefit, and hard times aro not felt.
Hut if wo send off for our grooories,
clothing, dry goods, boots and shoes,
that we ean buy or have made at home,
it IffjMpso much money sent away ; and
times g t>w hard. Keep wkat we havo
got and get sll ws can aod spend it a
mong o iraelves, and there will be no nc.
oessity lo ery hard tines. i
The turse of the farmer is that he pays
out all of his ootton money for what lie
should have raised. He spsods nothing
at home, for he bays from abroad. His
oorn, meat, mules, eta., are sent him
from other States, and his ootton money
goes tfufre to pay for them. *
pootb took oat of Savannah about
?10,006, the ory of hard times to tho
contrary notwithstanding. Had we
kept thut amount among ourselves we
would have boen just that much better
ofr.~^-Ho*ev?r we will poy luxuries with
pleasure; yes, with a rush and think
nothing of it, < bat '.find continual fault
with tho prioo of necossities.
Help each other by btmng from each
othftr; pivn home folks trie preference
evory time, aod do not cultivate the idea
you can do better, or get a better articl 1
from home. Society is a wheel with'n
a wheel, and all depeod apoa eaeh oth

"My dear, are you not afraid T How

He rose from his their, dashed It to
the dock, drew his sword, and pointed
it at the breast of his wife, exclaimed :
"Are you not afraid ?"
She immediately answered, 'No,"

"Because,"applied the wife, "I know

Finding the Owner.
"It's mine I" said Fred, displaying a
white-handled pocket -knife, with every
blade perfect aud shining. "Just what
I hnvo always wuntcd I" and he turned
the pn*e over and over with cvidont
satisfaction.
"I guess I know who owns it," said
Torn, measuring it with a critical cyo.
"I guess you don't I" was the quick
response. "It isn't Mr. lVtymona * !"
said Fred, shooting wide of the mark.
"I know that. Mr. Raymond's is
twioe as large," obeerved Tom, going on
with hit dmwing-leason.
Do you suppose Frod took any com
fort with that Knife ? Not a bit of it j
He waa conscious all the time of having
something iu his possession that did not
belong to him ; aud Tom's suspicion in
terfered sadlj with his enjoyment;
i Trkrty *ufemme wucn' a. i titVuimfcufrSt*
him, that ho had serious thoughts of|
burning it, or burying it, or giving it
away. But a better plan suggested
itself.
"Tom I" hf observed one day at rccess
"didn't you s?y you thought you knew
who owned that knife that I found ?"
"Yee, I did. It looked like Dr. Per.
ry's;" and Tom runoff to his play with
out gWing tho knife another thought. ' j
"Dr. Perry's I" Why Fred would
have time to run thero and back before
recces closed ; so he started in haste,
and was just ia time to catch the old
gentleman.
"Is this yours?" gasped Fred in breath
less haste, holding up the causo of a
week's anxiety.
"It was " said the doctor, "but I lost
it the other day."
"And I found it,*' said Fred, "and
have felt like a thief ever since. Here?
take it?I've got to run."
"Hold on I" said the doctor. "I've
got a new one. and you're quite weL
oome to this."
"Am I ? may I ?" And with what a
different feeling he reatored the knife to
his pocket.
"Why, finding it keepings isn't it?"
?aid the doetor, smiling.
"Not till you're asked the owner,"
said Fred ; "if you aan discovor who
the owner is."
