FRIDAY,- - - - - OCTOBER 19, 1855.1 L..-1 .v f ? ; "National Democracy" on "Sectional" Soil. , Coj.. Our, we are tolJ, made that same j (or a similar) National, Democratic, AnliKnow Nothing speech?which, lrom Anderson, created such a howling among the "Trays," "Blanches" and "Sweethearts" in I various quarters?at Unionville, on the 20th ult., and tbo Journal in speaking of it remarks that <:a very largo number of persons was in attendance, and signified by their applause tlie satisfaction they experienced in listening to the eloquent discourse." It will be remembered that Union District, in 18.31, gave one of tlie largest separate secession votes of any District in tbo State; and we venture to predict that now, upon a fair issue of principles, in a contest with Col. Our, there is not a man of the intensely sectional stripe in the whole Congressional District who could command one-third of tlie votes of Union. Another indication of a just and sober public sentiment is the failure of an attempt lately made in Fairfield District? also'Strongly impregnated with the secession fire?to organize a Sectional party. We say failure, for, although the resolutions proposed by the advocates of that policy were carried, it was by a bare majority of three votes, and we thcreforo regard it as in fact a failure. t A platform was proposed exniGSsillo- n svinnnlliw fni' mwl ? . CT J ? juau ciatiou of those "noble Northern Democrats" who voted the restoration of Southern rights in the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and endorsing the Georgia resolutions of 1850, which was lost by three votes. There is no doubt in our mind that Fairfield?even Fairfield?endorses the position of the "National Democrats" of South Carolina. And shall we doubt the feeling of the State on the subject 3 The Ookesbury Masonic Pemalo Institute. We ask the special attention of parents and guardians to the advertisement of the above-named Institution. The Faculty elected challenges the highest respect and | confidence. We have heard competent i judges pronounce Mr. Coxxon, the President, to bo one of the best teachers of females in the State; and Ave can sav, with unaffected sincerity, that for ourself ive know of no man to whom we could more cheerfully submit the educational and moral training of a daughter. Of Mr. Waxna maker we have before expressed our opinions, as created by witnessing tho first examination of his pupils in June last, and by u?c universal meed of praise awarded him by better judges than we are, ami need only add that his continued connection with the-Institution is an earnest of continued patronage from those who have heretofore been its patrons. Of the other members of (lie Faculty we know hut little, but feel assured from the fact of their election by the Board of Trustees that they aro worthy recipients of their respective trusts. Parents who have daughters to educate cannofdo belter than to entrust them to th& care of the Masonic Female Institute at Colcesbury. The location is peculiarly fa-, vored in many respect*. The moral and religious tone of the community is well calculated to preserve and develope the moral faculties of the young. A healthier ami more salubrious village and: neighborhood wc do not believe can- be designated. Being near to the line of the Greenville Railroad, it is of.easy access from all points; whilst, at the same time, it has the advantage of sufficient remoteness from the noise and distractions -of a District Court* House or a commercial town. ^Witb these advantages of location and of first-cla'ss teachers, with others wo might include had wo the time, the Institution promises to be a precious jewel iff-the crown 'of Masonic philanthropy, and a mighty auxiliary in the noble work of female education.

No visitor to Columbia should imagine! for a moment that ho. has seen halt* the at-J i tractions of that beautiful city before eall-j j ing at Holm's magnificent dry goods establishment. Mr, Wm. C. Mount:, formerly of Abbeville, is now there, and will bo happy to meet any of his Abbeville acquaintances. See card in another column, and bear it in mind. The tract of land belonging to the estate of the late Jamks S. Barkin*, which is to be offered at public auction on salo-day next, we are assured is a very desirable one, and should command the attention of buyers. Mr. Caupester proposes to build coats and other enclosures for the good citizens of Lowndesvillo and their neighbors, and hopes to Jity bene/?/ and be benefitted thereby. Ho has the best wishscs of the priti icr lor ins success.

Brennax docs, is himself deserving of its earnest recommendation and of the unbounded patronage of the public. Mr. Posey expresses an ability and willingness to pay the highest prices for land warrants. Those having them to sell should not fail to hear his bids before disposing of them. The "kindred and creditors" of Mrs. Sauaii Pace, deceased, will observe a notice directed to their attention, by the Ordinary. The "annual exhibit" of the Commissioners of Public Buildiugs was commenced in the last issue and is completed in this. An unusual number of tracts of land arc announced for sale by the Sheriff next month. The three town lots, wc know, are desirable, and should bring good prices. The lauds and other property to be sold on the 13th and 14th of next month by the Executors of the late John Cai.laijam will constitute an important sale, and should induce a general attendance. Chambers ?fc Marshall are now displaying some splendid goods fur the special accommodation of their lady customers. Make an early call and get the choice. Finally, Kerb's establishment is still open, and groceries coining and going like hot rolls at a feast. What Has Beon May Be.

We are indebted to the polite attention of a friend in the Furman University for a pamplilet copy of tlie< Anniversary Address made by lion. J. L. Ori?, at tbo last Commencement in th$? Institution. This address was highly estimated by a great many com- j petent critics who beard it; fjind from the perusal we bave given' it, we are prepared to#dd our humble testimony to the justice of their estimate. It discusses subjects of the Jiighest public importance, and as very few of our readers -will probably bave an opportunity of seeing tbo pamphlet edition, we shall re-publish it entire in. the Press at an early day. : Mxjur of our patrons will be gratified to leim that we have secured f the jwrvices of 4 gentlemah in .Hamburg, entirely conversant with such matters, and perfectly reliable, in giving us regulnr weekly reports 6f the Hamburg cotton and groqpy markets".

"Nations, as tliey devoutly pray for the I kindly fruits of the earth, ought, in like manner, to pray for the kindly fruits of the j inind."?Liebkk. We have extracted the above sentence ; from a letter lately written by L)r. Likber, i of the South Carolina College, to the New York Booksellers' Association, when oilicial! I . . business prevented him from accepting an invitation to a festival prepared by the Association for American authors and publishers. as containing a peculiarly true and beauti| ful sentiment. We give below the chief I part of the learned Professor and Author's | letter j Gkntlemkn,?T regret that by tho time | when you will celebrate the festival, to which i you have invited me in tho name of the j New York Publishers' Association, oflicial | | duty wiil have called me far from your city. I i I respect the friendly feeling toward me I which has dictated the invitation; and 1 j honor the object of your festival, which is, | if I understand it rightly, to give an opportunity of closer contact to all engaged in the great economy of literature. Division of labor is now universally acknowledged as a natural result and eflicient means of advancement; T>ut the consequences aro fatal when separation of the laborers comes to be substituted for division of labor. As labor is farther divided, sympathy and ' cordial contact among the laborers ought j to increase, if we wish for the bent fruits of j civilization; and this seems to mo a truth of peculiar importance for all the laborers in the vineyards, and fields, and gardens, and copses, and prairies of literature. The greatest monuments that noble nations can erect in honor of themselves, and through which they act most faithfully their assigned parts in the progress of our kind, are their Law and Literature. Great indeed ia ?],? nrrn Ir, :? i ? ?' 1 * 1 ... ?..w ... ?.ib in vinu-iiKiiieu in a people to see both flourish nL the same time. It is but rarely the case. If we happen to live i? a period without mark regarding the one, it will he allowed that our literature is not falling back, not standing still. I hail everything that can be of service to its advancement, and thus wish every possible success to your festival. Your feast is to be a "fruit, festival." The varied fruits on your wide spread tables, under that transparent, dome, wjll be fit representatives of our literature. Nations, as the}' devoutly pray for the kindly fruits of the earth, ought, in like manner, to pray for the kindly fruits of the mind. I speak it | with reverence, for I mean it literally. And i j a nation like ours ought fervently to pray that no part of the country should ever be prevented from sending its fruits to similar feasts as domestic productions. A Favorable Sign.?The New York i correspondent of the Charleston Courier under date of Sept. 20th, reports Ex-Governor Seymour of that State to have made a great speech the night of the 28th ult., at Tammany Ilall. The Ex-Governor is rep-' resented as thinking that "til? repeal j of the Missouri Compromise was a 1 ! wise and just measure;" that it leaves' i the subject of slavery exactly "where it should always have been left, to the dccis! ion of those immediately concerned in form; ing new States." The reporter says that ! even the Republican papers (Seward papers) accord to it "great aryinnentativc force and merit" The Newberry Mirror states that there will be a public meeting at Newberry, on Tuesday next, (Court week,) at 11 o'clock, | a. ni., to take into consideration the estabI lishincnt of a College at that place,* under i the care of thft T.ntli?'rpn Sunvl Sov/imi 1 addresses are expected. One gentleman Las, in two days, procured subscriptions amounting to $11,000, and it hopes that a ^general subscription will be made on that day by the people of the District. * i m The Edgefield Advertiser of the 10th instant, says: "Col. G. D. Mims^ a private citizen of the District, also endowed a Scholarship in the Furman University, at the last meeting of the Edgefield Baptist Association, held with the Dry Creek Church, in this District, together with several other gentlemen, whose names we have been unable to | procure." ___ r-' * At his residence, in Abbeville Diatrict, 9.
