this State. The Bank, Internal Improvements,
dec., have again and again been reprobated by
South Carolina, and these are whig measures.
I know of nothing which they have promised to
do which we can approve, or which, by any
possibility, can work in our favor. They have
never pretended to principles which conform to
ours* and their interests or supposed interests are
diametrically opposed.
w Let me ask if a single Whig measure is
known or thought of, beneficial to the South, or
ftouth Carolina. Their rivers, and harbors,
and manufactures, and ships, and sailors, dec.,
are benefitted by the appropriations of Congress;
but these come from the Treasury, and
that Treasury is filled by duties, and two-thirds

talion States, as they furnish two thirds of our
exports. But I am not disposed to disturb you
wi'h this vexed question. I solemnly declare I
dn not know of one opinion common to the
Whig party, one principle generally aeknow.
1 edged by them, or one fpeling which can actuate
them as a party, which is not, I believe, in.
jurious to the South
u General Taylor States in one of his letters
thit he will not veto any Whig measure, that is,
any act passed by Congress, unless the same
he nnconstitutional or passed in haste : that is,
without due consideration. These are sounding
words, but they mean very little. In the
first place, what can General Taylor know of
the Constitution? In nil doubtful cases he must
rfcoiv.e as correct, the interpretations ol those
about him, and there will be none about
him but Whigs. What the Whigs in Congress
regard as constitutional will be constitutional
in (be opinion of General Taylor.
" * Again, how can General Taylor ever decide
that an act has been passedin a hurry or
^inadvisedly by Congress? If ever he takes
thia ground, satisfactory evidence will be afforded
that he is not only very indiscreet but very
anfit to be President. What! return a bilj to
either House with the declaration of the President
appendant thereto that not only one House
but both Houses have acted without deliberation?
Impossible! This will never be done.
General Taylor says that the veto power is
conservative. Granted. So is the negative of |
either House of Congress on the other. I cannot
hut tbink the General mistakes the Constitution.
I have no douht when surrounded by
bis Cabinet be will learn that a President must
approve of an act before be signs it, and thus
put upon record his approval. Could General
Taylor, as an honest man, declare to the nation
and the world he approved of an act when he
did not approve of it. The act does not become
a law until the President writes upon it
approved,' and verifies the declaration by signing
his name under it. The people have said
as plainly as they could, in the constitution, that
the President is appointed among other purposes
to scrutinize such acts of Congress as they
pass; and if be does not approve of them, they
ahall not beeome laws. If, indeed, he does not,
within a certain number of days, signify to the
House in which an act has originated, his ob.
jections, it will become a law without his approyal.
Rut are we to understand thai the
.-. brave and bigh-minded Taylor will thus evade
-bis constitutional responsibility? Impossible!
He will soon learn that he cannot do so with
bonor, and therefore will not adhere to his pro*
fent construction of the constitution. The fact
is, General Tavlor knows how to heat an ene~
WMM UMIHIUOS nuuovn ?o n vvvwn wwpv 1
ty; but he does not know how to construe the
Constitution. And how should he? His whole
life hts been passed in camps, and bis very proficiency
in arms is presumption against his
.'knowledge of the laws and constitution. The
Veto power is vastly more than he now thinks
; it?-it is conservative certainly, hut much more
- so than he supposes. The President is responsible
for every act that becomes a law, unless
passed in opposition to his 'Veto ' He is to take
care that the Republic suffer no detriment from
unconstitutional, unjust, or impolitic laws.
u But I must come to close. I cannot content
lobe one of tho Vice Presidents. First,
hof-nuco I Knra il?adv declared, in the name
of the democratic party in Charleston, that they
bouhl take no action in the premises.
" Secondly, because many of my friends at.
tended the Taylor meeting, whom I am not dis
posed to drive into the Whig ranks, by what
.Will appear to them to be almost a personal opposition.
I think they were wrong, and would
win them back by some more conciliatory mea- <
sures. If nothing more be said or done, many
of them, if not all, who are lint looking out for
office, will, on reflection, see that it is better to
vote (or Cass than join the Whig party."
DANIEL E. HUGER.
SPEECH OF THE HON. FRANKLIN J.
MOSES.
The following Report of the speech of the
speech ol the Hon. Mr. Moses, of Sumter District,
at a Democratic meeting at Tammany
Hail, N. Y., we extract from the N. Y. Herald
of the 10th ult.
Hon. Mr. Moses, of South Carolina, after
, -referring to tho handsome reception he met
with, and the reminiscences connected with
Tammany Hall, said what is tho great cause in
which the democracy is engaged? Is it a contest
(or the election of men, or- is it one of principle,
between the old republican party and this
new party, made up of the factions of all parties,
moved hy the great leaven of federalism?
He confessed that when General Taylor's nnmn
fiwol ncrv/tloSmo/I o a on inriononrUnt PAflfli.
date., the people of South Carolina were di*po.
sed to support him; hut when they saw him re ?i5eirc
the nomination of the whig*, and associate
hit name with Millar J Filmore, they concluded
that whether they liked him or not, thpy liked
the cause of their country better. (Cheers.)
\VJ?nn they gave up Cass, it reminded him ofthe
story o! the two hoys, who were about to divide
a flock of sheep, which was the only property
they inherited from their father. The older
brother was wiser and more cunning than the
other. The younger brother had a pet sheep,
named Sandy, which he had raised, which slept
in his room, which followed him everywhere,
and ahich he thought a great deal of. The older
brother, knowing this, divided the flock into
two equal parts, as regards numbers, but one
part contained all the poor and bad sheep, and
poor pet Sandy among them, and the other contained
all the good ones. Now, said he. Bob,
the sheep are equally divided, which half will
you have? Bob looked at them along time and
aid, well, Sandy, we must part; I liked you well
Sandy, while you were by yourself but when
you get into such bad company, I must give up.
(\ ?nnrk<?r t And so it was with Cenersl Tnv.
I K" _.v
lor. Mr. Moses then alluded to the differences
that exist between the whifj and democratic parties,
and asked whether the? wanted another
. high tariff or another United States Bank.?
.Suppose, he said, Mr. Fiimore had occupied
* the place of George M. Dallas, when the question
of the last tariff was decided, whose casting
vote parried that measure, what would have
been the consequence? Himself the represen- j
tative of a tarifl State, he acted on the princi-1
??????a??mmmm
pie, Ibat on constitutional matters there could
be no compromise. If there is an act in the
whole of Mr. Polk's administration which he
censured, it is, that he did not veto the Oregon
compromise bill. His excuse was, lor signing
it, tha that territory wanted a government; but
a military government, under a democratic administration,
would have been better than a civil
government, the first acts of which would be
performed by whig representatives. In respect
to the position of South Carolina, the speaker
said she was attached to the. Union as any other
State; but she was attached to it as our fathers
flamed it. She will sustain a position of equality
in the Union, and will go to the denth to sustain
it. But, if the spirit of abolitionism is to
prevail. South Carolina will say to the State of
New York, "Let you and I have no more to do
with this Union?it is not the Union of the revolution,
but the Union of those who are endeavoring,
from personal motives, like Nero of
old, to fiddle while Rome is burninff." South
Carolina fought nobly for Martin Van Buren,
the Northern man with Southern feelings; but
what has she got by way of gratitude? But he
will be consigned to his political grave, and his
sou, John Van Buren, will write his epitaph.?
He (.Mr. M.) had but little taith in public men,
who would be found capable of selling their
country for a mess of pottage. (Cheers.) He
would ask, who had General Taylor associated
with him as Vice President? (Hear.) Millard
Filmore. But he would refer to the letter he
wrote to one Mr. Allison. (Cheers.) They
saw nothing in that letter that could protect
them from the old ahu-es of the whig party;
nothing that could protect them from having a
National Bank; nothing to prevent their having
such a Tariff as would elevate the rich upon the
shoulders of the poor; nothing in relation to internal
improvements, and harbor improvements,
that was not purely and essentially whig.
(Hear,) He would ask the whigs, did they
mean to set a man of straw for the Presidency,
who did not belong to the whigs, and yet, if he
were elected to.morrow, he would have his cabinet
composed of whigs? (Cheers, and cries
of "that's it.") Would thev then put such a man
in the chair? (No.) Would they also put such
a man as Filmore to fill the Vice President's
chair? (No, no.) If the.y did, would they have
patriotism,and magnanimity, and independence?
(No, no.) Would they place Martin Van Buren
in the Presidential chair, because he wished the
negro population white-washed? (Laughter
and cries of no, no.) If they believe (hat Martin
Van Buren, or his son, care one fig (or the
negro population, they are mistaken. The true
state of the matter was this,?Martin Van Buren
was endeavoring to erect a platform for his
son, or to put down the Southern States.
(Cheers.) That was the true state of the question.
He would ask them, were they willing
that such a slate of things should be brought
-u -:J?....
about so that every nigger couiu noc u?n > ? ..
hacks? (No, no, and vehement cheering.) That
was a glorious response. He would carry home
to his friends, in South Carolina, that response.
(Renewed cheers.) Yes, they would receive
it with?(Here some foolish abolitionist, in the
crowd, made an effort to interrupt the speaker,
and was soon thrust out the doors, causing at
the same time, some confusion, after which the
speaker resumed.) South Carolina would firmly
support Cass and Butler. (Three cheers for
South Carolina.) It would go heart and soul
for Cass and Butler, and both New York and
ring.) Charleston may have a few that would
go for Taylor but the State would go,he pledged
himself, lor Cass and Butler. (Immense cheering.)
They believed that Cass and Butler
were honest politicians. It was said in the
South, that General Taylor was a slaveholder,
hut he did not say what ho was, and they in the
South did not want to have any thing to do with
a man, who was alraid to speak, (applause,) or
tell them what ho was. (Cheering.) He did
not wish to interfere with thejr local nomina.
tions for Slato officers, hut the reputation of c-xChancellor
Walworth, and Mr. Charles O'Connor,
required nothing in recommendation from
him. (Vociferous and prolonged cheering )?
He would leave them therefore, to themselves.
(Cheers.) He woul in conclusion, pledge South
Carolina in favor of the Cass and Butler ticket.
The speaker concluded amid much applause.
Attrocious Mckdkr.?We are called upon
to chronicle one of the most heart rending and
soiibsickening occurrences that falls to the lot
of us frail mortals. Major Adam S. Camp, of
our village, was killed on Thursday evening
last, by a man named Joseph Glenn, and.under
the following circumstances, so far as we can
obtain them Glenn had been, and was at the
time of the murder, in the employ of Major
Camp, as Overseer on his farm, some seven
miles south of Spartanburg Court House, near
the Glenn Springs road. Major Camp with
his wife and daughter had been spending some
time at the Springs, and were on their way
home in company with several ladies of our
village, and his brother Mr. VVm. Camp, and
family. When the company arrived near the
farm, Major Camp requested them to wail, as he
desired to ride over to his place to give some
directions to his negrrics, which he did by getting
on his wile's horse and side saddle. When
he arrived at or near the house of his Overseer
he stopped, and whilst giving some directions
to his old negro man, at the same time sitting
on his horse, was shot in the upper part of the
breast, with two balls, from a rifle n the hands
of said Joseph Glenn, who had concealed himself
in a crib some thirty yards distant, for the
diabolical purpose. Major Camp fell dead in
a moment, and as the old negro man started to
inform the company hard l?y of what was done,
Glenn Bred a musket with 16 buck shot at him,
though without effect.
So soon as the distressing circumstances took
place and the murderer had fled, there gathered
around the lamented one his little family and
friends, whose nnguish and distress can better
be imagined than described. He was brought
immediately to the rosidence of Colonel Harris
of our town, who is the father-in-law of Major
Camp, at which place, on the following day,
his funeral services were performed by the Rev.
J. G. Landrurn, and his remains were consigned
to their last resting place in the gravo yard
at this place. The murderer was pursued iin m
'diatdy after he committed the deed by the
proper authorities and the voluntary service of
other gentleman. Ho however gave himself
up the next morning, and is now in the jail of this
District awaiting his trial.
In the death of Major Camp, our community
has lost one of its most useful citizens. He
was one of our nearest neighbors, and we can
bear testimony to the fact that he was nil that
could be desired as a friend, kind and accommodating
to all. As a husband and father, supenor
to any wo ever knew in tenderness and
afTecli m towards his family, never happier than
when ministering to their comton.

From the Columbia Telegraph of Saturday*.
A Telegraphic Despatch received last night,
informs us of the arrival of the Steamer Cartf bria.
at Boston, bringing later news.
Her accounts confirm those of the America "
in relation to the failure of the Irish Re&llion.
The leaders had been foiled in their attempt d
to organize resistance, and the Military and \
Police were exerting all their vigilance to suppress
disaffection, and capture Doheny. The
State prosecutions against the leaders were
just commencing. t
This, like the Ibrrner movement, has prored 1
the desire of the people to revolt in certain pro- g
vinces, principally the Southern, such as Ulster,
but at the same time shown their utter inability 0
to cope with the British forces, through the c
want of organization and concert. The sources
of discontent and revolt, however, cannot
be removed, and trouble may still bo apprebenrled.

Again we may bo asked what we do propose

lothing but union among ourselves. Union for
onsullation?for deliberation, as well as for
iction, against tbe proposed aggressions; that,
vhen the turmoil oftho pending election is over,
ve may assemble together as brethren, to conider
our position and discuss the modes of our
lefence. We will not anticipate what such
issetiiblies may resolve upon, but hold ourselves
n readiness for co operation in any measures
vhich shall then be deemed advisable. In the
nean time we content ourselves with recommending
that such assemblies be convened itnnediately
after our elections are over, and beore
the meeting of our Legislature, in every Disrict
and Parish throughout the State*
Resolved, That the condition of our federal

it becomes us at once to realize that the
South is driven for protection to the last hub

From the Greenville Mountantrr
GEN. JAMES HAMILTON AND LEWIS
CASS.
General Hamilton, once Governor of Sonth
Carolina, a long time member of congress from
Ihe Sinte, distinguished for his talents and chivalrous
character in every station, and now a
planter of the Southern part of Georgia, retired
from public life, has addressed a letter of ihe
date of Sept. 23, to a friend in Charleston, in
answer to one addressed to him on the Presiden
tial question. General Hamilton says in the
letter, "An intimate personal acquaintance with
General Cass enables me to speak of him
without any reference to theopinions of others,"
and he alludes to an acquaintance with General
Cass at Washington, as well as in the city
of Paris, when General Hamilton was representing
the Government of Texas, as Foreign
Minister. It was General Hamilton's talents
and address that procured the recognition of the
Independone of Texas by the British Government,
nnd by the French, likewise, and also by
other European powers. This was the great
preliminary step in the Annexation of Texas to
our Union. The impartial opinion of such a
man as General Hamilton is surely worth
more than the petty slanders of such men as
"Ogle" Stewart, of Pennsylvania, who has
had the hardihood to charge Cass with Ihe
crime of peculation whilst Governor of the
Mnribwput Territory, and whoso misrepresenta
tinns of truth and fact have been circulated by
a few prejudiced Whig partizans, who have
persuaded themselves, and endeavor to persuade
others, also, to believe every evil report of the
Democratic candidate for President. It is honorable
to most of the Whig papers and politicians
that thoy have disdained to circulate such charges
against Cass.
We have only room for a short extract from
tho letter of General Hamilton. He speaks
with the candor and fairness of a high-minded
gentleman of both Casi and Taylor. His
objection to the latter is political, not personal.
He docs not attack private character, and for
this.be is to be the more respected; we wishbe
was more generally imitated. He speaks as
one wbo knows of'Mho talents, tried worth and
distinguished public services'* of Gen. Cass.
"When I represented the Republic ofTexas,
(says General Hamilton,):U the Government of
the King of the French, Gen. Cass was our
Plenipotentiary. I owe to his zealous friendship
and enlightened public spirit, in no small
degree, the favorable impression i was ame fo
make upon the mind of the then King of the
French, in behalfof a country then independent,
but now gloriously united to our own, which, in
the extent of her territory and grandeur of her
future resources, is destined to contribute so
much wealth of the whole Union and to the domestic
security of the South.
"I certainly, at the period to which I allude,
could not but have felt much pride as an American,
in witnessing the consideration which
General Cass enjoyed at the Court ofthe French
King, by manners the most bland and unostentatious,
by the kindest regard for the wants and
convenience of his countrymen, by a hospitality
the most cordial and fervent, and by an ability
which made our country felt in the Court of
every crowned head in Europe. Although I
take no part in the election, yet I am induced
to believe that, should Genpral Cass occupy the
Presidential Chair, the interests ofthe South
would be exposed to no peril and sustain no injury
at .his hands, In one word, I believe him
utterly incapable of sectional injustice to any
portion of the Union.
"In announcing this declaration, let it not be
understood that it is made in any feeling of partisan
opposition to the distinguished veteran
who is really the only serious competitor Gen.
Cass has to deal with in the approaching struggle.
No, sir! If I had thrown myself into this
contest with all the vehemence I once felt in
past public canvasses, I could not find it in my
heart to titter one word in unkindness or disparagement
of this gallant old soldier."

Serious Accident*?A letter received at
this late date informs us of quite a serious accident,
which happened on the 2nd of Sept. in
this District, and resulting in death. Mrs. Julia

brother, was riding in a buggy, for the purpose
of visiting a brother residing on the oilier
side of Santee river. A little below Mr. S.
Richbourg's, the horse took fright and, running
a war. threw Mr. Tindall and the brother out
I ol the buggy. She ran the risk ofjumping out
and struck her head with much force against
the hard clay, as the horses were ascending the
hill. Some suppose that her head struck a flat
part of a root extending from a stump near
which she lay when found. Almost lifeless,
she was conveyed to the house of Mr. Richbourg.
The mother let herself out of the bug.
gy and and escaped with many but not serious
bruises. Language fails to describe her anguish
on seeing the condition of her daughter,
nor were the feelings and grief of the husband
less keen. After several days ofintense suffering,
which she bore with fortitude and resignation,
this sad accident resulted in the death of
Mrs. Tindall, at the early age of her 21st year.
She was a member of the Baptist Church and
beloved by all who knew her. Her husband,
parents, relatives and numerous friends mourn
her death as a grievous loss.

Steamboats?Merchandize?Cotton.?
The steamer Cassandra left this place on Tucs
day night last on her upward trip to Knoxville.
This excellent boat has never missed a trip during
the ten and a hall months that she has been
running?a success never before the lot of any
other boat, and a presage that the Tennessee
river is to be navigated with as much speed and
certainty as any other stream tributary to the
"father of waters."
We notice that the fall and winter stocks of
goods are coming earlier this year than former
ly. From the numbpr of wagons daily arriv.
ing from the head of the road, we look for a
much larger amount of goods to pass through
this place for distant points than was ever before
carried. The facilities afforded bv South

points to this route, and when the Railroad is

The Cotton crop in North Alabama is not so
large this year as it'was last. Less Cotton was
planted, as the planters did not wish to grow
Cotton at such low prices, when their lands
were as fine as any in the country for the production
of grain. Rnt notwithstanding less Cotton
will he raised in North Alabama we believe
mor will he shipped over the Roads to the
Southern cities. The experiment of sending
Cottqn South was tried la?t year under disadvantageous
circumstances, but the merchants
and planters were generally well pleased. If
we are not mistaken one hundred wagons or
more can he regularly employed on the road
between Dalton and this place during the winter,
hauling goods from and Cotton and produce

American Stacks in London ?The New
York Journal ofComrnere, of Saturday afternoon
says:
'.Mr. Corcoran's arrangement fi>r the sale of
$ 5,000,000 of the new U. S. loan in London,
does not appear to huve been definitely concluded
at the lime ot the America's departure,
though nothing unfavorable had occurred.
44 A.t ]#>nst. this ntntR of the case is to be ill
ferred from the only letter of his that has been
made public to day. The senior member of
the house with which the negotiation was pending,
was absent from England, and Mr. Corcoran
himself had also gone to France for a few
clays.
"He still expects to return in the steamer of
the 23d September. His negociatior.s had been
conducted with privacy, and none of the circulars
mention them, nor do they appear to have
become known at all in the monetary circles of
London.
"Meanwhile American stocks maintained
their prices, with a moderate business, but not
more so than was proportioned to the general
dullness of trade.
Is Poverty a Crime??Certainly it must be
so, for wo see the rich (perhaps) rascal courted,
his offences forgotten, while the poor man, with
no stain on his character but poverty, is shunned
and ot no repute. There is redeeming
grace in gold, which hides iniquity. As the
gold Iqaf, applied to pustules of the small pox,
prevents their leaving a pit, so does the same
gold, in the shape of current coin, restore the
wounded reputation, leaving not a scar behind.

virtues. Every body knew this fact, but nobody knato
how to extract its essential propcrtie*. Every mother

almost every disease; and adults throughout OOr fotnu
