T? doclriM ?WA ?k %?w ? fftoo aplained
and forced W these column* thai
the in&abfettite of every state hnvo an equal
rig^t to settle in the common territory of the
Mjuted Sute*, is daily gaining ground and
becoming better understood. Tiie proposition
is mo > plain and simple, that it would
seem that no man who wished to be just
and patriotic would for one moment question
it- Yet we have a party claiming nationality,
which adopts as its creed, that the
whole unoccupied territory shall belong on
ly to northern men, and (bat the South shall
be forever excluded therefrom.
In this connection we desire to call attention
to the following remarks of Mr. llultcr,
of South Carolina. It appears that Mr.
Usrlaft, of Iowa, in the course of his recent
speech alluded to a remark of Mr. ltutler's,
in wmcn no saiu mai no wouiu rather tliat i
the Union should bo dissolved 111 prefer-1
ence to its being a Union without the protection
of a constitution which gives him
equably. Mr. Harlan construed this remark
to mean that Mr. Butler preferred a dissolution
of the Union ralber than the people of
the Zerxitary should have the p^wer to exclnSle
slavery from it. Mr. Butler was absent
when this alluvion was made; but after
Mr. tluulaa had concluded, the following remarks
aseve made:
'Mr. .Butler?Sir: I say now calmly, that
when a northern majority shall acquire such
a control -over the legislation of this country
as to disfranchise the slave holding States in
shut respect in which they have an equnlity
uudor the constitution of the country, 1 will
not agree to live under this government
when the Union can survive the constitution. (
That is my. sentiment. I am not a slave to
submit myeeit' to legislation controlled by
mere discretion. Mr. Prerii?!11! if George
Washinglou and Benjamin franklin, ai.J
the wisest Mien who ever lived, wore to come
here and attempt to legislate under the dictates
ctf'mere discretion, and should do me
an injustice, I would bo a craven and a traitor
to the principles of May no, Chart a to
everything which I have learned from the
highest-sources of history if I could submit
to any measure that would place my children
the ninctv-niuth hundredth part of an
inch beneath the children of the senator from
Iowa. r
"Mr. Bell, of Tcnuesseo. I do not wish
to interfere in this matter, hut 1 will slate 1
what I understood the scu.tloi from Iowa to
say,
"Mr, Butler. I did uot hear his remark ;
I was not here when lie made it."
, "Mr. Bell, of Tciiucsscc. The senator
from Iowa took the distinct "round that the
interpretation of the views of the gentleman i
4'roin South Carolina was that the "equality"
of which he s|K>ko consisted in the citizens
of the southern States having tho right during
the whole period of territorial governments
in the Territories, to go there with ,
their slaves before a State constitution wa*
formed. I understood the senator from Io
wa to aay that the sepator from South Carolina
hud denied that tho peoplo of the Territory
of Kansas under their organic law
could oxcluJe slavery, until tho Territory
shall be admitted into tho Union with a
Stale constitution. That is what 1 understood
him to say.
"Mr. Butler. This is rather nu ambulato
rv kind of ituuio I iwmuit *
the meaning of the senator.
"Mr. Ilarlan. I will state to tlie honora
Lie senator from South Carolina what 1
said. The honorable senator from Tennessee
has fairly presented the argument; hut
inj view was based on the statement of the
honorable senator fcom South Carolina, and
the honorable senator from Georgia. (Mr.
Toombs.) It was argumentative merely. 1
quoted, as neatly, as I could remember, the
substance of the reiqarko of tlie seualor from
ft South Carolina ; and then I interpreted the
meaning of his phraseology by quoting from
' the speech of the senator from Georgia.
"Mr. Hale. That is it, exactly.
"Mr. Butler. Well, sir; I want no copartnership
with anybody, in making
speeches. [Laughter.] If the senator from
Iowa were on the tripod to-morrow at the
I >elphi coracle, I would not take his inter?relation
of my speech, lie might place a
'ythia theia and instruct her, and Philipise
her, if bo chose, but I would not take his
very interpretation. Why, sir, I avoided that
question in regardto the powers of tlie territo

It lias seldom fallen to our lot to record
a more pleasing fact than the visit of this
time-honored corp.* to our village. Neither
has Greenville, upon any former occasion,
shown a higher appreciation of the compliment
bestowed upon her,than was manifested
in welcoming this patriotic band into o r
midst. The company consisted of about
fifty, rank utul file, and were returning from
llie battle-ground of the Cowpens, whither!
they had went for the purpose of renting a I
monument to the memory of those who
shared the daugo.s and triumphs of that
well-fought battle?an engagement that ro
douuded to the fame of the gallant heroes
who participated in it?crowning with glory
the names of its survivors, and embalming
its patriotic dead in the hearts of their countrynictK
A victory ultimately leading to
the grand achievement of our country's free
doin.
The Iufuutry were met one mile from the
town by the Butler Guards, under command
of Capt. II. Lick Tmhuston'. The Infantry
in passing were saluted by the Guards?in
leturning the same, tho companies fell into
plattoons, the Guards escorting the Infantry,
and marching to the well-timed music -of
the band connected with the latter compai?y.
In this manner they proceeded down
Buncombe street, entered Main street, and
marched to the front of the Mansion House,
where Capt. Turtt'sros, ou the part of the
company which lie commanded and the cit
izens generally, addressed tho Washington

pleasing duty to welcome you to Greenville,
not only 011 behalf of the Butler Guard:*,
but the citizens generally. It is not merely
a kindly greeting from the mountains to the
seaboard, or from soldier to brother soldier,
hut it is an exhibition, also, of their approval
and appreciation of the noble object you have
accomplished. Toderignate the spot where reposes
tho dust of kindred and friends, is highly
commendable, and a feeling, too, common
in the humnnheart. How much moro so,
then, to journey for day* to mark the place
and render sacred the ground upon which

lucoessful sallies from their secret, and, to

it occurred more than sixty years ago. There
was Morgan, with his little band of Spartaus.
stretching from spring to spring; silence
reigned, save the sighing of the winter wind
through those primeval forests nnd the click
of tho cock, as drawn to its place, or perhaps,
a whisper, now nnd then, of caution or command.

To which Capt. UATCft, of the Infantry,
responded ill a brief but happy style, expressive
of the thanks of ihe company, and |
the pleasurable emotions at being welcomed
so generously l?y the people of the mountains.
Al the conclusion of his response,
they were conducted to a spot near the Fur- .
man University, previously selected for the
purjKwe, where their^tenta were soon pitched,
and preparations made for a; repast. The
members of the corpa seemed much fatigued,
hai ing made a forced march of twenty-firo
miles tho day previous through heavy ra:n
and mud. The neat white tents as they
stood arranged upon the hill-side, and the
blazing of the camp-fires, lent a beautiful
charm to the place, and kindled in tho
iniud's eye the scenes in which our fathers
acted, and served to animate the heart to
noble and deserving deeds. ;
At fi o'clock tho Infantry appeared in our
streots in full uniform?making a beautiful
displifr, and performing many interesting
and intricate evolutions. They carried with
them the flag which waved over the battleucidsof
?atao anu (pens, .?ud pisssitUt)
to ihein by Mrs. Wasiiinqtok, tire widow
of <5ol. Wariiihotow, in honor of whom
the company was named. We woidd men
lion juat here that the fatiguo dress of this
company, woru upon the occasion of their
visit to the Cowpens, and Sn which they first
appeared in our town, constated of a dark
hunting shirt, the cape and edges of which
were tiimmed with black fringo; a brown
woof hat, one side turned up and fastened
with a silver button, and containing a black
feather. The whole en setnble bearing a similitude
to the dress worn by Morgan and
his men upon the day the battle of CJbwpens
was fought, and peculiarly adapted 4o the
service for which it was gotten up. |
But it was at uight, when surrounded by
the fair young ladies of our. village aud ,
&striet, that the Infantry were made to feel
ftm deep joy which their presenoa had inspired,
and the waitntU of their reception. The
large dining haUof the MansionHouse was

fice; however great, that was not macfetqu I
lender the iikf of the Itmmtry during the i
evening pleasant and agreeable. The ladies t
who were present never looked so handsome f
before, and we doubt if any were displeased t
at the manner in which they were entertain- ?

The uniforms contrasted beautifully?rtbe *
Infantry were distinguished by a dress coat <
of dark blue cloth and laced pants; the I
Guards by their bright blue frock and white t
pants. Everything passed oft" well. The i
supper, which was deferred until 12 o'clock, i
was worthy of the occasion and the proprie- 1
tor. Tlie scene closed about 2 o'clock in llie i
morning. The Infantry repaired to their 1
tents, and took the train for Columbia on J
Friday morning. 1
They hare left, but the recollection of 1
the happy, joyous momonts spent with them <
in the camp and elsewhere, will long remain, '
and awaken the hope of re-union hereafter. <

See the despicable means some authors i
resort to in order to effect a sale of their i
books. It turns out that Mrs. Hkstz is not <
the author of the work entitled "Courtship

petrated upon the fair fame of this gifted and <

Of Ernest Liu wood (which is most undoabtedly
the last production sho gave to
the world) we would say that we have rend
it with inoru than ordinary interest.
It* main feature is the delineation of a
character more than ordinarily gifled in in
tollect and in heart, and upon whoso forehead
nearly every god had set liis seal, but
whose intellect suspicion shadowed nnd
blighted, and in whose heart jealousy lay
coiled like a serpent. It also portrays the
iuiluenco of such a character upon one whose
innocence and fidelity were worthy of eter
anltru.it. It in tl?e history of the live* and *
loves of a giant-haunted Frankenstein and ? *
shrinking Mimosa?the one pursuevl day and
night by the phantoms of a diseased imagine- 1
tion, and the other shriuking from the touch 1
of the too rude airs of Heaven. There arc '
no superfluous characters in Ernest Linwood,.
and each has a di-tincl individuality.
The plot is rather too intervolveJ in souie '
parts, and occasionally a scene appears highly
wrought; but in the latter case, at least',
the vrttiscmblancc is always perserved ; and
certainly no story could teach a better mop, 1
id than that which, nt'tcr describing alf the
working* of the green eyed passion, displays
its tinal eradication by the power of that religion
whose tirat lesson is that of childlike
Faith. It is sad to think that the gifted
authoress of Ernost Lin wood has written her
last work, said her last word, and ' goue to
her own place." The Inst sentence which
site has given to the world was a sad prophecy,
which too soon met Its fhlfllment":
"We, too, are passing ou in the procession
of life, and the waves of time that are rolling
beliiud us will wash away the print of our
footsteps, nnd others will follow and othors
still, but few will bo timed on stormier soas, j
or be anchored at last in a more blissful haven."
