"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.

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

A Beautiful Sentiment.
. "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

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,

lishincnt of a College at that place,* under
i the care of thft T.ntli?'rpn Sunvl Sov/imi

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 Edgefield Advertiser of the 10th instant,

The deceased was born in Lurnenburg coun'

wife. From thebcc he moved to Wake county,
Noith Carolina, and from there hie moved to
this District, on Saluda River, where he lost bis
first wife, bv whom he, had twelve children;
from there ne moved tip to Little /fiiver, near

lie connected himself with the Baptist
Church at Little River, about the year^ 1830?'
and lived an orderly member the restfof his

He was born of God. He was heard to say,'*
few days before his death, that be had no desire
to five in this world, and that hoMt ready

will to call him away. . '?
Having lived Ao so great an ago; It seems
that the relatives and friends would nave been
