uom k ment or d gI n o ine thimore practwable more da niiable 1 than that, 0o. Then, he .a anger, then, he saw ground foralarm; then, he saw vorse than disunion itself in the pros pect of the future. Now, the same getitinan says, amidst hll the superad ded.dangers of. the present period, "I have made no slavery speeches in Con gress and do not mean to make them. Property is timid: and slave property above all. It is not right to disturb the qietude of the owner, to harass him with groundless apprehensions. It is a private wrong to disturb a single individual by making him believe, un truly, that his property is insecure. It becomes a public evil to disturb a whole community. It creates a general un easiness, generates animosities, deran ges business, and often leads to hasty and improvident legislation." How charmingly philosophical! He is afraid of producing excitement by making sla very speeches in Congress; then why, does he undertake to deliver anti-slave ry speeches in the bosom of the slave States of the South. If this sort of propery be so timid, then why go near it to alarm! If "it is a public evil to disturb a whole community," then how dare he to disturb the whole slave - holding community of the South by keeping up this fierce agitation in their midst? Why disturb them still more by presuming to hold out open encour agement to their enemies to prosecute their dire schemes of hostility against them, in despite of the noble teachings of a Cass, a Buchanan, a Dallas. and a Dickinson and others? But I assert that it is not true, in point of fa'ct, that Mr. Benton has not "ma-le slavery speeches in Congress." In his better days, when the pro-slave. ry side of the question was the strong side-when yet he had not forfeited forever, the confidence and kindness of the South, by his opposition to Texan annexation-his heartless persecution of several of her favorite sons-his op position to the Mexican treaty, by Wihich Caiifornia and New Mexico were both acquired-his flagitious protocol move ment, notoriously set on foot for the double purpose of bringing about a for feiture of our valuable possessions on the -Pacific, and disgracing the lamen ted, respected, almost idolized Polk, by an impeachment;---then, he did find it convenieng to pro-slavery speeches fierce, furious, and fire-brand pro-slave ry speeches; of which I will give you here a few charming extracts. I quote still from the speech en Foote's resolu tions. Here are thle extracts: "Sir, I regard with admiration, that is to say with wonder, the sublime mor ality of those 'whio cannot hear tihe ab stract contemplation of slavery at a dis tance of five hundred or a thousand miles off, (that is to say in Califo-nia and New Mexico.) It is entirely a hove-that is to say, it affects a ~vast ,st1eriority over---the morality of tihe pr-imitiv3 Chiristiems, tihe apostles of .. . Christ, and Christ huimself.

Many who think themselves * Christians, are now engaged in preach ing agamrst slavery- but they hanetter K- * * ascer-taim whether they have fulfilled thle precepts of Christ, before they assume a moral sumperiorit~y ever him, and under to do what lhe did not. '1'o thle politicians-me mark this spe cially-t tile politicians who are engaged in tile same occupation, it is needless to give the like admonition. Thley have their views, and tile success of these would be but poorly. promoted by following the precepts of the Gospel. Their kingdom is of this world; and to * reach it (that is to say the Presidency) they will do tihe thlings thley ough not, and lea~ve undone the things which they ought tb do." Y1 so ferocious and exorbitant was' 9 B,-ton'.s eal in behalf of, slavry hI t t a bpriod of his life--(when John anolph ofRoanoke-always an en. husiast on the subject, and, the m'ost a eeing man on' the continent as to all lie designs of the Abolitionists.-yt uffered him to enjoy his confidence) o violent was lie in his denunciation of F he North, that many of the more dis ireet defenders of southern interests Leplored his violence; and his own col cague, Mr. Barton, openly denounced us conduct, charged him with being a editious factionist-an utiprincipled igitator of the slavery question for his >wn political advancenient-called him ucius Catilline to his face, and arraig ied him solemnly (as Mr. Benton him. ielf has lately done us who assembled or peaceful and patriotic purposes in he Senate room last winter) under the I Larewell Address of Washington. &ore of that arraignment anon. For he present, see what Mr. Barton said 1 >f our present accuser as a sectional ag- I tator and an enemy to the Union. Mr. Barton, on the occasion referred to, Foote's resolutions being still under hscussion,) took it upon himself, in he first place to make a sort of profert n curia of his lusty colleague; describ ng hini as "a minor chieftain' of the Democratic party of that period, "of iot much renown for either policy or ivar; who, not satisfied with the scalps ic had taken in the late campaign, fell iuddenly and unexpectedly upon the >risoners of the minority, and commen aed a scene of massacre of the living, ind dragging the dead from the grave; !vcn rescalped those who had been icalpedand buried by other armsmore valorous than his own,during the exist ance of the by-gone war. And thus,' continues lie, "one arrogantly speaking ror the whole West threw the firebrand* among the members of this body, and lighted up the flames of this partisan warfare, of sectional prejudice, local an inosity, and civil war." ' * * * * I Mr. Barton continues : "But as this debate has been convert ed into a mere partisan warfare of sec tional prejudices and civil discord, and as this war has degenerated into a mere relentless massacre of prisoners, sacking of towns, and robbing of graves. I will shield myself under the great funda mental principles of the Constitution1; and, with the light of the farewell ad dress of the Father of his Country in my hand, and with something of the little liberty still remaining to the minor ity, carry back the war into the ene my's country, so far as to attain that indemnity for the past which can only consist in recapturing our lost property, and that security for the future which can only consist in placing our motives above the reach of the assailant; not hoping to conquer in him the propensi ty to violate the rights of others, or to destroy in him the ability to (10 further mischief, while backed and sustained by such a majority as that to which lie has attached himself," Now comes the Catiline figure: "It is true we had been solemnly warned in the farewell address of the Father of his Country to the people of the United States, in the most anxious and parental soliditude, that Catilines would at iso in day's to come, in .these thrice happy States, and that dema gogues and aspirants would spring up among us, whose objects woud be to gratify their inordinate and uinhallow ed ambition ; whose means cf mischief would be to inflame sectional prejudices andi local animosities in one portion of the Union against each other; to repro scnt their interests to be 'different and inconsistent with each other ; and to cultivate and cherish the young devils of discord to tear out the vitals of the Union and scatter them to the dogs of civil war and horrid anarchy ; that such Catilines might reign as champions 'of their deluded section of the Union,- and enjoy'* a little illegitimate and parricidal renown. Of these, above all other en-1 emies, the Father of his Country ha warned us to be on our gun .' *Ths e ieoli afavorite word with Cola onll~ ; he always call.

The Next Congress. One of the most important events connect d with the very ex:stence, we may say, of he present administration, are the elections vhich are yet to come off for the ensuing "ongress. There are, at present, 72 Dem crate, 82 Whigs and 10 Free Soilers elect d, and elections, are still to be held in Ma yland, North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, i'exRs, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky md Indiana; one in Vermont, one in Rhode sland, one in Massachusetts and one in )hio. It will be perceived that 39 members ire to be chosen by slave-state.;, and if those itates will be true to their rights there will )e a majority, in the corner house as there is nthe Senate, against the2 present adminaie ration. Some doubtsi have Leen expre.ed as to the course w hich General Taylor will aursue on the great and excitigg rueio?, .ouching the liberties, safety and cnstit ution il rights of the South. We apprehend there :an be no doubts at all on the subject. Gen. raylor has entirely surrendered the Govern rnent into the hands of a niost decided Vhig Cabinet and will, on every point, be controll 3d by the vote of that cabinet. Strange as it may appear, and hostile to.tbe very safety )f the country, he has determined to take that course. All that remains for the slave states is to make the most strenuous exer tions in every district to elect Democrats in tead of Whigs, and, by placing the majori ty in the hands of the Democratic party, control the action of the administrat ion on those great questions essential to the very Existence of the South. If the slave-states are not true to themselves how can they ex pect to have friends on their side who ill be true to thema Southaern "wvhiga vote wvith northern whigs. Northern wvhigs never vote with the South for the protection of South ern Rights. WVe may hold conventions, we may make appeals to the South, we may en deavor to consolidate and unite in defence of all that is dear to us, it wvill all be unavailing -our true safety is in the ballot-box, it is to rally the whole force of the South at elections and sendl Democrats and -not Whigs to Con gress If the eminent and active men, the true and reliable mn of the South will agree to take the stump, appeal every where to the people, and shew the magnitude of the ruestion at issue the people wvill do what is right..- Southern whigs may be disposed to vote right on Southern questions, but influ cnces are brought to bear upon them wvhich paralyzes all the good that their votes can se cure. W ith a majority, not a violent or fact tious majority, against the present admninistra tion in the House of Representatives there is a check at once upon that odious Wilmot Proviso, and on all measures which are in tended to outrage the South ; nothing will be left for the Cabinet to decide upon-as to the action of the President, no reliance is to be placed on the exercise of the vrt., power ;-. the battle must he f.ought at the ballot-box, mnd ifthe Southern press antd South~~ rnen will turnout manful .Mmost im rant occasion ( his close at hand) and tte lorious example of Virginia, if he slave-states will stand shoulder to shoul for in this contest as they stood during the Revolutionary wvar, the enemies of the South n Congress will not have the decision of our ~ate and of our rights in the pahnt of their aands. BUnar.n.-We learn that the Store ccupied by A CuusoL~s, Esq., situated in Broad-street near the corner of main mtreet, was last night entered by some >erson or persons as yet unknown, by neanas of' boring through the shutter of' a svindowv. & extracting the bolt, and robbied >fa about fifly dollars.

Beveral deaths have taken place among he negroes on Dr. Daniels and Judige luger's plantations. Several cases of cholera were on board the steamer Gen. Clinch on Thursday last on or return from Savannah. 'Cot. Bentou. Since the alliance of CoL. -Bento with. the whigs and abolillanists-in 6oetiring an election to the Senate, hIs exetians. In his own state have been aeive and per.. severing. His recusanc.ygha astonished no one, he has long been .experimenting with'his political opponents when having a personal object in view, and, iltlho, ap; plauded by the free.sqilers of:tie north, and his speech extensivoly. circulated, they aro dissatisfied at his only going half. ways with them in asserting that Congress has the power to exclude slavery by law in Territories, because Congress has here. tofore asserted that right. Col. Benton and his new allies will split on the sub. ject of the wilmot proviso; he will hate to oppose the Wilmot proviso ,while his friends at the North, the freesoilers, will insist upon its passage, so that these loving allies will have a fight the moment the bull is in motion. We can conceive no situation more pitiable, more deplora. blo than an old man seeking refuge in the camp of his enemy to sustairn his personal ambition, and to secur$ a sent in the Sen. ate, surrender principles avowed for near. ly half a century. Vain, however as Col. Benton may be, we exonerato from the folly of supposing that he can carry a single electoral vote for the Presidency. Business Prospects. We apprehend this year will scarcely give us a fair average of business, al. thougli we may have a fuii avetrage of crops. The publie wure.houses in the North are filled with goods, th3 great fh cility which which the Vurehousing system gives to the importer, enabling him to use his credit freely in importing without being ruti red to pay duties until sales are efl'cted, must necessarily crowd tihe market. The sicl:nesu prevailing in ailmost every directioi, the great fires at Si. Louis and o:hor cities, and the over. flow at Ne-w Orleans unite to check bus. iness, and yet wfe never knew money to be more plentiful ; we are making all Europe our deltors instead of creditors, and we should sensibly feel the effects of this depression were it not for the great surplus of produce which will enable us to live comfortably on less profits. It is, however, at this moment of flat and un profitable prospects that oun STATE should be active, in improving its condition and establishing its independence. Our geol og'ical researches for coal, iron, gold and ot her valuable minerals and metals should be active and energetic; wherever a furn ace or a still can be erected, a saw-mill built, a cotton or woolen factory establish ed we shall add to the wealth and powver of thec state. Let our Railroads in con lemplation or in their infhncy be energet. ically pushed on. From each town to the Railroads or wqater courses plank. roads should be built to convey our pro. ducts with ease and rapidity, and plank. roads are doing wvonders in the Northern States, paying ten per cent under greatly reduced tolls, and our rneighbor, Nprth Carolina is pushing rapidly ahead wvith her enterprises. We have only to devel. ope the resources and arouse the industri ous energies of the South, to be independ cnt of the world, to be feared by enemies and respected by friends. THE 4TH.-The celebrations; beth at Charleston and Columbia were of a high order. The day at both citiets proved un usually cool, thus allowing the exer tions of both soldier and civilian to be un disturbed by any reflections on the heat. The military paraded very strong h Charleston and the Sot:rTnp iw n gg ;;gyIn Clumba."Crowds of strangers visited beth cities, taking ad vantage of the reduced fare, and we are happy to state, the festivities at both pla ces wvere not marred by any accident.

EXeUTION.--The negroes Charles and Jimmy were hung at Charleston on Fri day lust for the murder of Mr. Morrison, the wvatchnman of the WVest Point Rico Mills, :FOR THE -XAN "J. 1. Barrett the axde hige of 0 iie Barrett is confined in the3ail of par. tanburg, on the chur e of iublishing a paper signe , whih underzakes to explafn, how the Government -of this State, is founded oni the slave power, and admonishes non-slaveholders, toadvocate the Wilmot proviso, lest a msiilar slave power government, be extended to the territories, now free to- their occupation, and favorable to their industral pursuits. For this purpol'o, Brutus arrays the two sections of the state, in antagonistic columns, which, as soon as seen, wore recognized as the familiar . household troops, which figured in a jato Presiden tial campaign. In 1844, the whigs of Charleston, un. der the lead of Henry Clay, opposed the election of President. by the legislature of South-Carolina, beiause the vote Ly Legislature, gave an undue weight, to one portion of the state, and tht y attacked, the principle of representation by taxa. tion, wihich is an equivalent and substi. tute for vote by federal numbers, which include slaves. So far, under the.lead of a man, most dangerous to our faith and institutions, they directly. attacked the 9 ave power as represented in the Presi. dential election. - "Brutus" has carried out their principles, and attacked It, as represented in all the departments of our Governient. The whigs arrayed oie section owning moire, against another, owning fewer slaves, and Sumter District was designated, in their list, as one of the tyrant Districts, because its slaves, as property, formed an element of its elect. bral power. They attacked the principle of slave representation, at the bidding of of Clay, now, an avowed progressive ab. olitionist, in his own "state, "Brutus" has done as much. Brutus calls upon non.slaveholders, be. cause they suffer under the tyranny of the slave power, to keep the territories free; this, I admit, the whigs of that day, did not do; but on the eve or an exciting tontest, they throw the question into the streets, and are responsible for all the speculations and consequences, which a qutestion of that extent and bearing, might be tnudo to prodluce in a community, where the nattfrl antipathy between free and slave labor, niust exist. "Brutus" has used the weapons they -furnished, and carried out their ill-timed speculations,'to p'yssible results. Their arguments, are his arguments, theirfigures, and lists and columns of white and black, are copied in his-pages; the partizans of Clay, work in the same harness, with the Emissaries of the Abolitionist, and-the torch of the In-endiary is lit at the altar of their wor. ship. .Should one of the distinguished lawyers of that party, be called upon to defend the Emissary, his position u ould be sufficiently delicate, the words of the Indictment could nbi be unfamiliar tq-his ear; the facts, theistalistietp, the averments, the innuendoes, could suggest nothing nerw to his fancy; the conclusions, though startling, would -be apt and insvitable to his understanding, and In. the generous impulse, which might 'be sttpposed, to ac tuate, at 6nce the advocate and the -ace complice, he might c-y aloud to his Hon. or, I am the guilty man, let the sword of justice fall upon my devoted head, "Mea fraus omnis," "Me, Me, adsum qui feel, in me convertite ferrum" Is it any excuse for these men, that they were hurried on by an inconsiderate party zeal 1 If in following the lead of a man, emi. neatly dangerous to the South, they found thtemselves, in a course of argument, fa tal to the tranquility of the state, if they wounded the feelings of some, and exacer bated the temper of others, their duty, as good citizens, when they obtained the vic tory under another leader, hardly less suspected on this subject, wvas not only plain, but was marked out to them by their predecessors in .powver. it was to be one of forbearance, of moderation, of conciliation.

These pro. scriptions, however, can extend to few, and a re unimportant, to the public, exeept to point out the principles of that faction, whlich are to be marked and noted, for future reference andl it is to be hoped that when the democrats triumph, they will not be for gotten in their insignifican cc. It is to be regretted, the. ... eminent individual, wvhose public services might etntitle him, to exercise tunt ramelled, the dictates of a temperate head, and generous heart, nowv guides their counsels.* The History of the contest has left, however, a useful lesson, a deep convic tion of the prominent good sense of our people.
