MY HOME.
Oh ! yes, I havo a distant home,
Where wild birds sing their pretty song,
And flowery meads and fortilo yaleSj
To winding streams and brooks belong.
Oh! yes, I havo a winsome homo,
In sunny climes and flowery plain?,
' Whcro music from sequestored groves
Breathes fondly out Elysian strains.
"1'was tlicro my tioynoou s gieesomo bourn
In romping and in lovo wcro Hpcnt?
Now prattling round.my father's kneca,
Then on somo little mischief bout;
But then camo hours, sad parting hours?
A Bister's kiss?a mother's tears?
A father's admonitions given,
To strengthen hopo and quell my fears.
On life's wild sea my trembling bark.
By adverse winds and storms are driven
Away from home, away from homo?
From homo and those I lovo um riven ;
But still ui solitude's lone hour,
Fond memory speaks to me of home.
Its vision.'round my soul shall hang
Where o'er o'er life's wild waste I roam.
But now I have another home?
A fond, sweet homo in love's own land,
uncre xuiicy iivch in signB anu smiles,
And reason knows not to command :
'Tis thcro my spirit loves to rest,
When sleep earth's coarser souls havo bouud,
And sigh and sing of lovo and flowers,
While star beams gild tho concave round.
This be my home, my own'sweet homo,
Tho brightest ilso in love's deep sea,
In fancy I shall live at homo
And know my Love that hprne is Thj; e.

THE WILMOT PROViSQ AND THE
SOUTH.
In another part of our paper, to-day, will
be found an able article frou> the Charleston
Mercury, on the-unconstitutionality of
the Wilmot Proviso. We are gratified to
observe the firm and decided stand which
the editor of the Mercury fya$ taken in reference
to this important and exciting question.
While most of the leading political
presses of the South, on both sides are en'
gaged in the discussion of tho old pafty is sues,
the Mercury has raised aloft the banner
of Southern rights, and neglecting all
minor considerations, all local differences,
; is calling upon all parties to unite in'de
fence of The constitutional guarantees? of the
Soujtfiern States. This is the right course;
iftfavve only vyoryder how any Southern ed- J
- itorj in view of the, importance of this ques- ]
tion -to Jthcu South-trin view of the steady
persistatitie'of tho. unanimous North, in this
openly avovyed measure..pf dictation and
aggression?can for a moment hesitate to
follow his cxa.mpla,~ Whfle 4<The Wilmot

in almost p.rarv "MHr'tHr?r ri rsnnpr w? nnnn
. t j -r.r-r? vit
is seldom mentioned -in many of our
jSouthern journals, or if alluded to at all, is
only spoken o^as a party measure to affect
the local elections.. Are the politicians of
the South blind to the signs of the times?
or are they so wedded to party that they
are willing to. saprifjce the permanent interests
of of their section, for the, .triumph of a
day ? It can no longer be disguised that
the peopje of the Northern States, irrespective
of party, are determined on the enforcement
of the principles contained in the Wil- j
V moi f roviso. They have been impelled to
this resolution by the long teaching of fanatics,
by envy, by prejudice, and by a desire
for political power, and are encouraged
jiow to venture, the issue l?y the seeming
apathy of the South. 7
During the long years of agitation which
have passed, no effort has been made by the
pouth to vindicate her cause. Whilst every
interest at tfye Nqrth has been arrayed
jxgainst us; while Jhe literature, even the
school books of the country haye been im

presses have been established ail over the
, land expressly to promulgate the slanders
^nd falsehoods of our enemies, the people
pf the* South haye quietly 'patronizedr the
North, even to the purchasing of her Sun^
v ^Av ^ay school tracts and literary periodicals?
voted With her jn Congress, and sent her
$ons to be educated iri^her Colleges. Is it
strange then tfTatl$e people of the Northern
States should l0se'all respect for our rights,

We offer to the citizens of Abbeville and the
adjoining Districts* our improved SWINGING
FULCRE PRESS. The invention
was not the result of mere chance, but of long
experience and mathematical calculation.
As to power, it is equal, if not superior, to
any thing now in use. It requires less tim*
ber, easier framed, and put up in less time,
and with lees danger than a screw; and the
Press will last as long as any timber protect*
ed from the Weather or above ground* From
the number of these Presses which are now in
use from North Carolina to Mexico, we feel
no hesitancy in saying that- they will supercede
the Screw ; and^there are ten pf our
Presses up to one of any other, and we feel
justiftedljn saying fifty, to one. , The averageduratiira^of
Screws, in this District is not
more than four and-ail?iif or five years, and
as there is not leasjt{?n five hundred Screws,
iBee what is paid oStitf one;yeftr.

than there is irif^hfltcountry;
