address sets forth the fact, that the product* of
the South, form four-fifths of the Commerce of

of the world ; and thnt it is high time tliut
the South should avail herself of these rosour

Our Town Council and the Taxing Power.
We have been requested to state that a Public
Meeting of the citizens of the Village will
he held in the Court House, on Saturday, the
8th prox., to consider the propriety of memorializing
the Legislature for an amendment of
our Charter, so us to confer upon the Council
the poverof assessing a tax upon town prop
crty. At niir Inst municipal election, ft petition
for tlinl purpose was signed by the majority
of our citizen.?, but as objections were urged
by some to the measure, it Tins been thought
proper to have a full discussion of its policy.
We nt first had some hesitation in signing a
potition for the increase of taxes to be levied
upon tlie properly of others ; but n moment'treflection,
convinced us. tlint rminlitv of tnm.
tion was a subject in which we arc all interested.
According to the maxim that "he who experiences
a benefit, hhould also share the burden,"
every one should contribute in proportion
to the privileges enjoyed and interests protected.
The owner of real estate, of merchandize,
nnd vehicles ?fce., should certainly pay
more, than one who hats merely ft transient
domicil. A sufficient guarantee agaiiibt the
abuse of the power is found iii the fact, that the
Council are all propert}- holders.
Au Elective Judiciary.
T-..J 11 1 ?!.!- ! . 1- . ?
\* iiuvi mc uoo? e iilio, uic iasi nun)nor o)
Harp r's Magazine, contains a masterly article,
in which the editor points out the evils which
result from a popular election of the Judiciary,
us illustrated hy the operation of the present
system it) New York duiing the last ten j-enrs.
The Convention of IS 10, which was called into
being, by the necessity of providing a remedy
for the delay of justice, and checking the overweening
power of Chancery, effected great and
radical changes in the existing system ; 6wept
away the common law form of procedure, annulled
the distinction between law and cauitv:
an?l, above nil, gave tlic election of Judges to |
the people. This last measure the writer thinks
has been attended with unmitigated evil; aud j
he gives various illustrations of the tendency
of the system, to lower the diameter of the
Judiciary, and to affect its influence over the
Bar. The evils enumerated, however, do not
result merely from the mode of crration, but,
nlcrt fi'rtm t liu /i??iny/> -
H.UV| ?.? v..v ??????. \'j '^in , anu nit? ?ntu?
ry atlaelud to it These are discussed in due
order.
The mode of crcation, resolves itself either
into a nomination by the Executive, and confirmed
by eome council or senato ; or into- an
election by the legislature; or lastly by a nomination
in some popular convention, and this
sanctioned by the popular vote. Objections
exist against each of these modes , but they
apply with peculiar force to the popular election.
The writer whilst he concede?, to its full
extent, the doctrine of popular sovereignty,
discriminates between tlxc position of the
Judge and legislator ; and holds that the Judge
represents not the feeling? or interests of the
people, but represents the law ; and that for
the daily business of the Judge, learning, ?bil
.yj >kiu iiiivgiiiji tiiu rcijmruu. ine encci 01
the popular election, is to tlirow t!:e nomination
of the Judiciary into the hands of a set
of trading politicians, who are as competent to
select a Judge as to choose an astronomer.
The result is that the best roan will decline to
enter the list* for nomination.
Again, the independence of the Judiciary is
essential to its dignity and usefulness, and this
inseparably connccted with the tenure of the
Judicial officc. The Judge should feel secure
of his position, so long as he discharges its duties
f&iillfulK*. Thrffc nnn???fnfinn r* V-? Va?1?
l>y limiting the longest tenure of Judicial office
to eight years and the shortest to three years,
has forced the Judge to look beyond the term
of his office ; and to regard it either as a temporary
occupation, or to use every means to secure
his re-eloction. Jhc tendency of the system
is to make the Judge an intriguing and obsequious
?3*cophnnt; and whether he be such or
not he can scarcely avoid the imputation, and
bis character and influence will be totally destroyed.
A view of these evils induced the
English Parliament, one hundred and forty
years ago, to change the tenure of the office,
and to make it dependent upon good behavior
aLone.
Liiatly, tlio writer has shown, that the talaric*
of the New York Judges, ranging from
$2,000 to $5,000 each, is so far below the scale
of professional emolument, as to render the office,
undesirable and contemptible. We com*
mend the article to the careful perusal of our
readers.
Iioos.?We bear of 110 improvement

The farmers generally are pretty hrm, having
a good store of old cor11 on band, and

Glimpses of tho South.
In the lust week's i.-sue, wc gave our read- :
ers copious extrnots, from nil account of tho
Brooks dinner, which appeared in the columns i
of the Keto York 'Timer. Since then a friend
h?s handed to us a copy of MenghctV /ri-*A
yctc*, which contains nil article by the same
Reporter, under I he above title. Wo were
struck with the contrast, in the tone of the two
pieces. Our Reporter is n very chameleon.
In the first article prepared for a Northern
freesoil journal, lie takes tho hue of the medium
in which he appears; lie exaggerates our
|>cvuiiui iiic.1, 9111'vn) ulf ?>ur (IcnCICIH'li'K, Will
amuses himself ut our secession proclivities.
But when he prepares a contribution for the
Irish Xcick, a pripcr destined to circulate widely
at the South, lie dips his pen in the color*
of the rainbow ; and lauds the frankness, cordiality,
hospitality, intelligence and humanity
of the Southern slaveholder. lie calls
Bishop Berkley an old fogy, and takes him to
task, for making the charge of insipidity against
the Southern character ; and thinks our impetuosity,
wit and sprightlines* would merit
any other Appellation sooner. TVc are almost
afraid that the extracts of last week may have
satisfied our readers, xtxqnc ad )tan?>ntn ; hut
as the question of slavery and the relations between
the North and South, are at present pccniiaily
interesting, we can scarce forbear
uuiMiii; n icw uuimitmai quotations. t.?ur Reporter,
too, is a very intelligent eye witness;
and has a roal Iri--.lt imagination, a good fund
of Irish humor, and a style, which throws a rich
coloring upon the most common incidents, lie
arrives in Charleston on Saturday, the '28th
September, and r'-inains there until the following
Tuesday. llis description of the harbor
and city is picturesque and graphic :
"Charleston, as every body knows who
knows anything, is the commercial capital of
South Carolina, and what is more, one of
the finest cities in the Union. Its situation
is rather low, and the country behind it, is
too flat to warrant us in claiming for it
I. -C ?1- _ . 3
imicu ui me picturesque. IDC approach
from the harbor, however, is beautiful. On
the right lies Sullivan's Island, with its low
tropical-looking houses, its magnificent hotel,
and Fort Moultrie, great in revolutionary
annals, on its further extremity. On
the left, a pretty undulating fringe of shore,
green as emerald, stretches away as far as
the eye can reach, until lost in the blue
haze of the horizon. In front rise the tall
spires and white towers of the city, bathed
in a flood of golden light, and springing, as
it were, from the very bosom of the bay.
' I enw from out the wove liur structure ri*o.
As from the stroke of an ciichunter's wand,"
The city, viewed internally, is clean; the
streets, spacious; the buildings, generally
handsome; the stores elegant; and its business
aspect indicates wealth, prosperity, and
progress. The gioatest drawback is its utiiieallhincss
during the warm month?."
Our Reporter remains long enough in Charleston
to be most favorably impressed with the
kindness and hospitality of the citizens. lie
seems really to give expression to lira genuine
feelings in the following paragraph r
"I can hardly describe the pleasure I experienml
in meeting some old friends in
Charleston, whom I had not seen for several
years before, and who, with a hospitality
tliat used owfcy to be Irish, and with a warmth
of friendship and nobility of kindness that
aro seldom found any whcie out of the State,
did their best to make my stay agreeable.
I am bound to say they succeeded to perfection.

nature, chivalric tone and convivial temper
that form the prominent traits of our Southren
biethrcn, cannot fail at first sight to
appear somewhat "extravagant. This impression
soon wears away, however; ami
evei* if it did not, it is an extravagance
with which nobody can be displeased. Certainly
I, fo? one, regretted my inability to
enjoy more of it."
Our frieud arrived in the city wlitn the ?ad
result of the Taber ami Magrath-difficulty, furnished
the theme of general conversation, and
he has given a dramatic sketch of the due),
-which we presume to he currcct in ita details.
Of the parties lie thus speaks :
' Mr. Tuber was a young man, influential!)*
connected, though personally, I believe,
rather unpopular, llis abilities were of
the first order, and his prospects of attaining
future distinction as a public man,
brilliant in the extreme. He was fearless,
nlinnAt In DtliliU-ilv unil nninroil ( nnco/tni-o.

ble reputation its a duellist. McGrath,
though a young man of a family remarkable
for talent, was regarded as one of those
quiet, easy harmless, goodnatured fellows
who never trouble themselves about anything,
and glide so smoothly down the
stream of life, that not a ripple is left to
mark their track. And yet see the Celtic
recklessness of the man when his feelings
were aroused. Stepping forward as the
voluntary champion of the good name
of his brother, he indited a sort of wholesale
challenge, peremptorily demanding of
both editors of the Mercury an immediate
retraction, or immediate satisfaction. Taber
replied as haughtily, and accepted the challenge.
They met at the race course on
Monday afternoon."
The occasion affords n fit opportunity for an
axpreasion of opinion upon the policy, and ethics
of daelliag:
"This duello code is a marked feature of
Southern Society, and has always been in
vogue among races characterised by strong
sensibilities and excitability of temper. It
is not my business here to enter into a
disquisition of the ethics of it, but I cannot
refrain from expressing the opinion
that it it a very absurd manner of settling
quarrels. Something, it it true, may be
aaid in its favor. But what of that ? I do
not doubt that something migl|t be said in
favor of the devil, and I am thoroughly
.covineed there never was a bad thing in
existence in regard to which something
good, or tending to good, might not be
advanced. lean readily conceive of circumstance*
in which one man would be
.pot only justified, but bound to kill another,
bnt no strength of fancy could devise cireuMrtAtWMt
tinder which the obligation to
kill would bo mutual?unless it be in war,
and I question even that." ^
Tlic description of the country from Clinrlos- ^
ton to Columbia in verified in tlie experiences ,
ami
of every traveller :
"The road from Charleston to Columbia
passes through tins most dreary country tin; \
eye of traveller ever rested on. Tangled nm<
brakes of stunted pine, alternating with
dismal marshes or blighted corn-fields, and I" u
not a hill to relieve the wretched monotony, C
constitute the never-changing prospects. 2.."><
After leaving Columbia the prospect in?proves.
Well-cultivated fields stretch down
to the road. Pleasant farm houses, embed- t
ded in oak and magnolia, with the smoke r>e.
of the negroes' lints rising up out of the ,j
dense groves, here and there meet tlic view, law
and gladden both cvo ami heart. The
i , ,. ... .J , . .1 ii..,.
wnoie race 01 nature is changed. ftvon tlie
very steam-engine?(to my surprise 1 found __
it named after that venerable warrior, Brian
Borhoimc)?seems to derive new vigor rwi
from tliu altered circumstances, and rattles f_
away with accelerated speed." Iu-I<
The village of Greenwood, with its quiet Fri
beanty and sylvan repose: with its "spread- t)*?l
iugoaks and evergreens," and white-washed
cottages, with parterres of flowers in front, ^
seems to have inspired tlie imagination of our /\
traveller ; and lie thinks that its rural scehision
would have satisfied the longing of the p?ot
Cowley, for some obscure retreat- in th?* T(
Western world, with tho "consolation of
letters and philosophy. "
The description of Southern society anil mantiers
is of the colcnr <lc rosry nnd the. distinctness
and beauty of the picture is heightened rigl
by contrast with the dark phase of Northern ^ '
agitation :
"I found the people sober, intelligent,
high-minded, patriotic, ami kind-hearted. o:
Ono tiling I missed, to-wit?the squalid O
misery ot'the laboring classes of tlic North.
