At his request I wrote to Judge Glover proposing an. exchange of Circuits, Judge G-. having Charleston to visit this fall.

As most h of our readers who are directly interested in the matter have heard or will hear him, it is o .useless to attempt a report of his remarks on b this occasion. He fully met our high expecta- ti tions, and wo aro happy to say that all whose c< opinions wo have discovered ogreo that bo tri- fi uuiphautly vindicated his claims to the contiu- p ucd confidence of his constituents, and that b many of the few who had been induced to wan- b der away were brought back by the force of n trutli, and confirmed. Very decided demonstra- c! tions of endorsouieut were given nt the close v of lii* nr>i>efili. ti Gen. O-ARLrxGTON snceoedcfl. And as it is no c port of our naturo to deny justice to any one, however cold our sympathies towards him niny " be, wo freely accord to him tho credit of quito 11 a respectable lyirnnguo. In fnct Gen. Gaklino- c ton is a good speaker, and we would not dotract a single niito from the honor duo him in ^ this rcepect because of his sectional prouliviiis 0 or of his very pointed allusions to the Ind'-pen- P deni Press and its resident editor. I' /-Wo have befor? expressed our roasons for re- C garding sectionalism (ns we understand the *' term) as unnecessary, unwise, nnd suicidal, and shall not trouble ourscif to remark further upon the subject at this time. It would be unkind, C (perhaps impolite.) however, not to acknowl- '' edge in ns becoming terms as possiblo tho com- * pliment which Gen. Garlinotox doubtless " imagined ho paid uj. Our friends crpcct- better tilings at our hands, And they shall not bo dit- = appointed. But wo may premise, in nil sincerity, that wo know no such thing as pride at being noticed by big men, even though they wear the insignia of high military di-tinction, orwt ^ to wear the robes of rcpree<yitative dignity.? n Bigger men than tho General have failed to ^ inflate our self-esteem beyond its natural proportions which pcrl^ps are already as high * us justifiable circumstance could tolerate. In his epecclt at Whitehall, Gen. Gablixoton bolJlv denounced the Nebraska-Kansas bill as j of no practical importance to tho South, aud as involving a recognition of that imaginary monster, "squatter sovereignty." (We suppose ^ the General lias already secured a patent for ^ his canvassing speech, with the the privilege to revise, alter, amend, add to, or leave out, aa lie ^ did not give us that chapter containing his no- ^ tions on "aqnatter sovereignty" on XopvJay.) lie wont further, and sJiid Ilitlnctly that he could seo uothii*.^ io the action of tho Federal j Government for the past quarter of a century j I to rejoice over, and that he would, if he hud the power, draw the disuuion line. These sentiment3 we alluded to, and remarked in substance { that it was now too late to sing to the people of Soulh Carolina in a tune so miserably worn t with singing nnd pregnant with neither terror* nor charms, and that it was strange a innn should so unqualifiedly denounce the actions of trial uoay 01 which lie sought to be an integral. Gen. Garlington challenged us to defend tlic measures lie condemns, accompanying tlio chnl- ^ lerige with the very considerate and generous ? admonition Unit it would be death for us to do c so in Abl-.'ville District?that Greenville would " be the ii'.ic-t congenial soil, and the editor of * the SoiU/ttm Patriot the appropriate foster- T father! As a sedative to tho General's appro- s hcusions in this respect, we beg leave to sub- ' mit that the Prmt has flourished in Abbeville c District, since wc succeeded to its control, to a ' degree far beyond our most hopeful auticipa- ^ ?...1 ? i - ?viu, >uu uu j?i_*riuu 01 mat nine more 60 v than tlint since we "animadverted" upon his 1 Whitehall spec b. There is therefore no ne cessity for a cliango of location, at lca.it until * we shall begin to cultivate weeds more nox- ^ ious than that which so offcu?s hit olfacto- 1 rios. When the sentimonts of the Press and " those of the Patriot agree, wo are not at all " ashamed of our company, for we recognizo in 1 Maj. Pebkt a high-minded and honorable man, 11 a consistent politician, a puro patriot and an r able editor. The attempt therefore to east odi- ' urn upon us by an associatoin with the Patriot x ? ja only an evidence that the General was right " when he on a previous occasion that it 1 * was difficuft to find a. question to speak to. 1 The people of thia lmn? ?< vim |IU11 Licm " faith, and tbey do nbt> l^fong to that elass who 1 make a comparison witb^tho Patriot a test of fi orthodoxy.- We jrpwitlfcjrft>r our anraelfc^ihay * judge for themselves- * .
