Why The Restriction?
Tlie Carolinian has com? out quite handsomely
in. favor of' having-the State represented
in the Cincinnati Convention. This
is well. But why that restriction as to the
nominee of the. Convention!. . Why will
no one else do but President Pierce! Why
would not Hunter, of Virginja, or. our ownButler
mi Aire ? Why. would not any good
and true exponent of the very same principles
entertained by our present Chief Magistrate
suffice? If it sliall so happen that
the nomination .fall on Pierce, it will be r
glorious thing. But Bhould .it fall on any
other man of equal soundness, could we say
n?y with any propriety or-consistency ? Let
us pause l>eforo adopting this one-man idea.
Remember, there nre other statesmen as
good as Pierce, nnd as safe, and , as true.
It would Ih* hazardous to assert thei-ontrary.
If the Carolinian -had said that our delegates
ought to go instructed to vote for no
man who did not stand on constitutional
grounds identical with-those whirh gnid^
the present administration, we should (for
one) hare ac**orded ourmost hearty consent.
This wouhi.be placing ourselves exn.et.ly
along side of Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
*? "ii ? prwiwiy me position in line our
present duly calls upon us to take. It is
only thus that our delegation ran be efficient
for any good. We go to unite with
our friends in making the best selection possible
jn a most important "matter. That
selection, by the express announcement of
those friends, is to l>e made in strictest conformity.
with principles-dear to us nil in
common. What more can we a?k? If
we fix upon Pierce, irrevocably, where is
the use of our going to Cincinnati! at all?
Would not our sister States of the
South regard our conduct in the light of a
mockery? WouUl it not,indeed, be a s enF
man.tvARiliin !???* tf -??
?*?>iriii|r Him iiat^iii *?rn |?TUv??ke
tlieir contempt ? We arc sure our
respected 'cotempornry will agree with us,
that any such pre-decision on our pari
would place our delegation in a mo<t awkward
position as regards their Southern associate*.?"Principles,
not men," is the
motto under whir.h we are bound ?o go Into
the Convention. Clearlv. our State would
and should first vote for Pierce in preference
to almost any other man. But if he be
pronounced unavailable, and some other man
juBt as true (perhaps a Southerner) be regarded
by the Convention more secure of
election, 'would the Carolinian have us
withhold our sanction from the nomination?
Surely not.?Edgefield Advertiser.
Col. Orr in New Hampshire.
Col. J. L. Orr and other members of
Congress recently made speeches ?t Concord,
New Hampshire, to their Democratic
frieuds. Thin in made the text for comment
by the Petersburg (Va.) Intelligejicer, and
its sneers against Mr.. Fierce and the i)emo<*racy
are editorially endorsed hy the Columbia
Times. When it is recollected that
Itoth these journals belonged to the true
K. N. brotherhood?the great and sound
natiotinl party, and endeavored to defeat
Mr. Wise, of Virginia?we ore Mire the patriotism
of their denunciations will be fully
appreciated.
The following brief abstract of Col. Orr's
speech we take from the telegraphic correspondence
of the Boston Po6t:
**The next speaker was Hon. Jas. L. Orr,
of. South Carolina, who was received with
prolonged cheering. He defended the 3outh
from the charge so often made against her,
that she is constantly aggressing upon the*.
rights of the North, and .maintained that
it was the North >hich was always infringing
upon the constitutional rights of the
South. All the South asked was her rights,
and to be left to manage her own insritn.
tions in. lier own way. ";,

"E. M.," of Belchertown, writes to the
Amherst Express about a very intelligent
hbfse, of which he is the owner. The following
incident, among other*, illustrates
the matter ;
"One day last week ho was driven a few

in the afternoon', was fed with meal

had nothingbtit dry hay, %whicir did not

travellingHwenty miles with a load, through
snow-drifts. However, he kept his thoughts
to himself till we were all out of the wav

some way, he passed through the cow-stuhle,
crossi*d the barn floor and the carriage-room
to the granhry, at the further end of tho
barn, sonStv forty feet,, where he had often
seen us gft rtlie meal for bim; be then;
found two bags of meal, standing by the
bin, tied, up tight, but the top one being:
too heavy for his purpose, he threw it aside,
and after "examining the other bag, which
weighed between tifty.atid sixty pounds he

cut n hole in the side and took out about a
peck of meal, and ate what lit; wished ; nnd
seeing th? cow (the only companion lie has
theme lonjif winter nights) looking with a
longing eye at his pile of meal, lie took up
the hag again, and .carried it about ten feet

more meal for her. They were found in
the morning feasting together."

He had invited Enquire W. to dinner/
and savory dishes of prairie chickens, killed
it week before, and ever since hung in the
warm kitchen, were served. The guest,
however, little relished the "rich" morsels

Tlie Judge noticed his abstemious

the choicest morsels before him. He
cut n fine large slice from the breast of a
prairie chicken, nnd handed it to him, flaying,

that?it's a good piece " c
"Yes," said W., "it's a good piece, but

not to smell of 'em,"
