*rgi not of that class of political editor*
vli'o fin J fault simply, to render our- i
selves notorious fn the eyes of the world.-? i
In other words, we seldom, if ever, strain at
a gnat and foolishly swallow a camel. In
our connection with the press, it has always '
been our policy to complain of public digni- '
taries as little as possible, and always tlirow :
the mantle of dimity around arty whom we
Considered wronged or misrepresented. We *
shudder At the degrading thought of cn- ..
deavorltig to injure a political opjionet, much
less those who comprise a pari of the great
Democratic family. Notwithsanding these 1
peculiarities in our political mode of war-! J
fare, it becomes our painful duty, agreeably
to the dictates of truth, honor and justice, to
censure President Buchanans conduct in
retaining Walker as Governor of Kansas.?
We havo examined the matter carefully I
with a desire of supporting the administra- l<
tion, but we are obliged to confess our want j
of ability to soe things as they fcetn to appear
to the heads of departments at Washington.
In our last issue we conscientious- 1
1 v, and fearlessly denounced Walker's treachcry,
at the same time expressed an abiding i
confidence iti the justice, wisdom and pru- ,
dcnce of Mr. Buchanan and hi* able cabinet.
We present, to-day, (in an other column)
the exact instructions of the administration
given to Governor Walker, as the special
guide in the administration of the executive 1
affairs of Kansas. In these instructions the ^
President reiterates the great and fundamental
principles of the Kansas-Ncbrnska act, in j
reference to the vexed and aggravated sub- .
ject of slavery, and upon which the Demo
ocratic patty sustained itself in the last r
memorable Presidential struggle. We see c
no very plausible objection to urge against J
these instructions. So far as we understand c
them, they go to prove Walker guilty of the
highest order of treason against the South,
and her abused institutions. We have no
ambition to make war upon the President,
but facts as they now stand, conipjl us to fi
ignore his shortsighted jyoliey in retaining o
stfch a Judas as Walker in power, after the r
unmistakable evidences ho has given of his j
talent and peculiar adaptation to meddle
with matters entirely foreign to his mission.
It was our expressed opinion that he would
be promptly chastised by the President for a
departure from cabinet instructions, but alas! J
we are obliged to acknowledge our eiror n
and sad disappointment, for we discover that ^
the obnoxious personage is to he retained. I?>? ^
the conseouences bo what thev mnv ! This
being the case, it becomes our painful duW, 1 'd
as a faithful journalist, to sound the alarm, ! p
and to irn our reader* of the facts as they 1 n
really exist. It furthermore devolves upon 1
\\?to cut loose from the administration in llii-'
particular, and proc im its course ami poli-1
cy as vsvtorthy ok southern confidence, j
HUITOUT on RKSPKCT. j '
We deeply regret the necessity for such a , N
stop. Could we remain silent, sustain our j ?
self-respect and do justice to a section of the j
Union claimed by our wife and children as j '
the home of their earliest infancy, wo would
willingly do so. When the President and ?
his cabinet discovered the Lilack Republican sj
proclivities of Walker, why was ho not im 0,
mediately recalled, and branded as having
violated executive confidence? In other
words, why did not Mr. Uuchanan prove the!
priceless and sacred value of those non-inte:-j "
vention doctrins as proclaimed in his initni-; e
table inaugural address? These are grave j 'j
tpiestioHs which we a.-k, our tender footed
cutemporaiies of the Uemocralic press (in
Louisiana) to answer. Can they do it ?? j a
We think not. We level this article direct- w
ly at the President and his cabinet, on the I at
grounds of their non action. When a I
father fails to rebuke a prodigal, and di.?o- ^
bedient son. we take it for granted that ho
approves the son's waywardness. It is the
non action at Washington that satisfies us p
that Walker is sustained and will be contin- o
tied in his present high and influential posi- f.
tion as Governor of Kansas.

looking us full in tlie face, how can J I'
we do otherwise than repudiate a step so fatal V
to the South and the future welfare of the is
Democratic parly. f?,
Doubtless, Mr. Buchanan is a Democrat,
nnd for aught we know, a pure State Rights
advoeate, but in this particular instance his ai
official tendencies <70 to prove the contrary, t!
A Democracy that is not free from section- ai
al bias (in * President.) is neither pure nor p]
orthodox. We profess to be a national |
Democrat, therefore, it would be vile hvpocracy
in us to pander to an administration
which condescends to retain a political
swindler in power, simply because said ti
swindler has sufficient sagacity and shrewd- 01
ness to express his treachery in language jr
susceptible of a thousand different constructions.
The retention of Walker prove's P1
Buchanan's non-intervention docrines a sub- u
lime burlesque and a decided humbug. It ic
further shows that the Soulh has lost by \ t{
his election, and that bU plvugcs to enforce ! jj
the principles of non intervention were meaningless.
If the Kansas bill fails in its ohjects,
it will be owing to tho treachery of w
such vampires as Walker, backed up by the
btrong arm of Federal power.
those who charge us with attaching too
much importance to this matter, are eilher
ignorant of the true issue, or careless and in p
different as to the future welfare of tho t<
South. \\ e repeat, the administration lias j
acted badly, and its conduct cannot and ]
should not be excused unless Walker Iks re i N
called. If matters continue as they now v.
leally exist, tho South is wronged out of her 1
legitimate lights, and humiliated beyond the e|
po.ver of human description. As at present
advised, we dissent from tho Kansas policy l<
of the administration, and its agent, Robert ?
.f. Walker. We aro neither a factionist p
nor a seoesssionist?wo simply go in for u
equal rights to the gallant South, too long
insulted, robbed and outraged by Frecsc.il
fanatics.
President Pierce appointed Jleeder, nnd c
removed hitn for error* committed. James c
Hucbanan appointed Walker, and llie future' p
welfare of the vsboU country demands that's
#
? 1 , '
hej?hould remove him. We Mend on the
Cincinnatti platform ; if Buchanan retains
Walker, m cansidtr him off of it. the bluster
of the Washington Unoin to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Continued Dry Season. ,
We are now needing rain very much,
'lie corn crop has been seriously retarded
>y the long drought, and we fear that uness
visited soon with rain, its eventual com- ,
ng will bring with it a frost. Cotton is aleady
suffering from cold, and in some sec- |
ions of the country, the rust has made its |
ippearance and is doing much damage. It ,
s estimated that about two thirds of a cot- ,

The BaTbecue.
We attended the barbecue given by the
liends of S. 1). Goohlett, Esq.. at C. C.
Iontgombuv'.s, on Friday last. Being eonected
with another Battalion, we took no
art in the election then going on between
lessrs. Gooui.btt and Wilson, for Major I
f the Saluda Battalion, but w e went as a j
lectator?to see?become acquainted with f
ur patrons?to have a little ride, and pass, <
s editors term it, " a day in the country." s
t is needless to say that the day was a c
fair one," and the road quite dusty, as ev- 1
rv one who went will testify the same, j 1
'he collection of persons was large and or-| 0
eriv, Jiiui i no committee nan inmio ample r
riangetneiits for feeding thein all, and, not- ?
ilhstanding the large crowd tliat gathered ?'
round the tables and partook of their con- ^
nts, a sufiieiont amount was left to have ?
lade another very respectable dinner. '
It is pleasing to see the interest which the v
eople take in the election of their military i*-'
flicera. It may l?e set down as a certain U
ict, that where the men feel and take an '
iterest in the matter, clever and com- x
elent officers are pretty sure to bo selected. '
V'here the opposite is the case, a deficiency a
always seen in the management and en- g
irceincnt of the militia laws. b
The result of the election will be seen in b

lat our young friend (Joodi.ktt will make F

hecrfully and willingly, and divide the pr? net

Tiik Latb Senator Rusk.-?Ad intelligent
gentleman residing in tlm city, but
who is now on R visit to the cRpitol of Texas
on business, writing to a friend, Attributes
the lamentable suicide of the late Senator
Rusk to a motive, which, if true, (and he
states it is widely credited in Texas,) reflects
great credit on his character as a man possessed
of a sensitive honor, and tends tosof
ten the harsh judgement that usually follows
the fate of the self destroyer of life. It
seems that Senator Rusk's whole nervous
system had become terribly shattered by the
uncoutrotable sufferings the death of his
excellent and loving wife had occasioned.?
It is said tlint, while occupying his seat in
the Senate, during the pendency of the debate
on the Kansns-Nebraska bill, he made
an arrangement with his colleague, General
Sam Houston, by which it was agreed that
both Houston and himself should vote for'
the bill. Notwithstanding this positive
agreement, Gen. Houston voted against the i
bill. Iii the recent (ruhernntminl contest in
? ^ ^ ? --Texas,
Genv- Houston being the opposition
candidate,'both political parties commenced
questioning Gen. Rusk so closely that he
tell it was impossible longer to resist the
public exposure of Gen Houston. For many
years General Houston had been his friend j
and companion?his old comrade in arms
during the bitter trials of the war of inde-i
pendence?they had served together in the
United States Senate ; and he became haunt->
ed with t!?ce idea that to live longer would
occasion him dishonor. He became the
victim to the impression that, under the cir-1
cumstances, his death was a measure of
overruling necessity. It was, of course, an I
unfortunate mania ; but all this evinces the ]
honorable feelings and manly instincts of I
one who would not hesitate to yield his j
most precious possession to a sense of duty, I
however mistaken.?Philadelphia press.
Prospects ok tiik Cotton Crop.?The
past two weeks of dry and cool weather has !
materially changed the prospects of the cotton
crop, and the hopes of the planters.?
The fine appearance of the weed on the
twenty fifth of August, excited the confident

crop would be a large one, even though the <
spring had been very cold, and the crop |
stunted. The bad stands had been lost sight;
of, in the exuberant growth of the plant, I
but now planters from different sections inform
us that although the cotton weed is
abundant, the blooms and forms, and even
the leaves of the plant, are shedding off so J
rapidly, that there is but little hope of making
anything like an average crop. In I
some sections, the worms are doing great I
damage, and every day the complaint from
the farmer seems to increase.
We dislike to chronicle reports of this
character, from the generally prevailing opinion
that there are always an abundant supply
of short crops croakers about September
anu October, of each returning year. If woj
aie deceived in relation to the statement we
make about the cotton cmp, then there are
hundieds of closely ob?ci viug. experienced,
and intelligent planters, who labor under a
delusion as to their crop prospects.
[Augusta Constitutionalist. i
National Division.?The Virginia Conductor,
an official organ of the order, gives
the following abstract and summary pro
eeedings of most direct interest in the late
session at Piovideiice, II. I.:
"Ciianoes in the Constitution.?Bv
the ln*t National Division there were but
two changes in the Constitution, and both
of them are very immaterial.
The first is that capita lax shall not he
laid on suspended members, or members
more than six months in arrears.
Second. No Division can have a hv-law
expelling a member for non attendance.

our Consiiiuiion is constantly undergoing a
change. Wo lliitik the complaint is unfounded.
We have never known any body,
meeting once a year, with power to make
changes and innovations, who have exercis
ed that power so cautiously and so rarely as
the National Division. Upon nn examination,
our fundamental laws will ho found to j
ho substantially the same now| that they
were twelve years ago. We feel it to be a
duty, as well as a pleasure, to do justice to
the National Division on this subject.
"The New Ritual.?The national Division
has adopted a new Ritual, to be published
and brought into use by the 1st of
January, 1838."
We understand this now* ceremony is
made up of the old Ritual and the one now
in use, partaking, however, more largely of
the old. We are glad that tho preponderance
is in favor of the old, since we could 1
not get the old restored ;n toto, Our delegates
did all 'hey could to accomplish the
wishes of the Grand Division of Virginia on
this subject, but failed in their efforts?so
that wo n.ust content ourselves with yielding
a cheerful compliance to the const luted
majority."

ago several free negroes were put up at auction

for a term sufficient to liquidate their taxes.
Singular to relate, four of them wpio purchased
by a slave in Portsmouth, who felt
quite proud of the distinction and made
known his determination to get the full value
of his money out of them or know the reason
why. This is a development under our 44 Institution"

would do well to make a note of.

It is our painful duly to announce the
death of one of our most useful and htghlv
esteemed citizens. Mr. SAMI1F.I. MnOltR
who departed this life on the 2d of August
Inst, in the sixty-sixth year of his age. after
a long and protracted illness, duiiug which
his sufferings were very severe. The decensed
was a native of Laurens District,
where he resided till his marrige in 1825,
since which time he has teen a resident of
Greenville District.
In youth, having no advantages of fortune.
or kind friends to cheer hiru on his
way, he. nevertheless, succeeded through his
own energy and exertions in obtaining an
excellent education. The energy, displayed
in youth, marked the whole course of his
life.
Through his public duties and services,
he became well known to many of the citizens
of our District; and his highly moral
tone of feeling, his strict integiity, and detestation
of everything low and mean, to
gather with the firmness and independence
of his principles, commanded the respect of
all who knew him. His own early life, hnving
taught him the value of friends, ho was
ever kind to those in adversity. He was a
gentleman of the "old school,'" hospitable
and kind to friends and strangers ; a true
patriot and lover of his country and its institutions
*, the modern system of politics, in
which self interest and love of spoils, (not
love of country) are so largely predominant,
was peifectly abhorrent to his feelings and
sentiments.
But why say moro of the virtues and use
ful life of a fiiend and fellow-citizen, whose
character and standing are so generally
known.
Our community has indeed sustained an
irreparable loss, and sympathises deeply
with the bereaved family in their afflictions ;
but we trust that released from earthly trammels,
he is singing the glorious song of redeeming
grace in Ileaven. He was for
many years before his death, a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church ; and early
in his sickness, expressed a perfect resignation
to the will of the Grand Disposer of human
events. A wife, three children, and
ninny friends and relatives mourn his death.
