The Taxing Power.
tnattothcr column wo publish the proceeding*
of tlio public mooting held ou Saturday
last, to consider the propriety of conferring
the taxing power upon the Towu Council. It
trill be seen that the whole matter has been
referred to a Committe of five who will report
to an adjourned meeting on Saturday next,
some suitable plan of taxation. The Committee
is fully competent, and, we hare no doubt,
will do fall justico to Uie subject, yet as iu the
"mullitudo of couusels there is safety," every
citizen should reflect on the matter, and go
prepared to give the meeting tin ' ?nefit of his
advice* in the way of revision auu .aendmcnt
Wo trust that the purse strings will not be
drawn too tightly, and rely upon the liberality
of our citizcns, to give ail enlarged discretion
to the Council, and placc within their hands
the means of carrying out the work of substantial
improvement. We ourselves arc docidcdly
for a strong capitation tax, upon ever}*
one, property holder or not. The larger the
capitation tax, the better is it for the property
holder; and he should be the last to ohjeet to
its payment, sinco the burdens upon property
sro diminished to that extent. We are also in
favor of a tax upon "cura of high and low
degree,** and in the support of this proposition,
rely upon tho cordial co operation of our worthy
intendent, whose views in the premises are
well known.

The Musical Festival at Lebanon Ohuroh.
To such of oar friends, who are denied the
pleasure of attending the Agricultural Fair,
this week in Columbia, we commend the perusal
of the article under the above title, on our
first page, astome compensation for their disappointment
; and particularly to those who
know the dramatis persona. Our friend, the
sole representative of Uncle Sam's sovereignty
in these parts, must, we think, be himself amused
by the jeu & esprit, at his expense. We

pirc to the versatile talent of 'Toney Lumpkin,"
and his musical compccrs of the comer ;
but yet it seems that a man who has but little
"rou.Mc in his soul," may still "act his part," at
a musical festival. We are convinced that
hod we been present, whatever might have
been the extent of our performances in the
"afterpiece," we should have sung low in the overtare.
Our friend may console himself with the
reflection that the possession of a musical talent
is the exception not the rule, whilst the capacity
to appreciate a good dinner, is that "touch
of nature," which, "makes the whole world
kin."

The Speech, of Mr. Ohoate of Boston.
We have read with muoh interest the apeech
of this able lawyer and enlightened statesman,
lately delivered at Lowell, on the "political
topics now prominent before the coontry."
Coming as it does from the very hot bed
of New England sectionalism, its calm wisdom,
catholic views, and enlightened patriotism
furnish a pleasing contrast, to the distempered
and feverish atmosphere of part}' passion,
and sectional fanaticism. The Charleston
vwjtvw w vuo ouuiuao cm appoauug
tod much to the material interest of the New
Englander, anil invoking his support of the
Union, on the ground of the protection, which
it guarantees to him, at the expense of the producer.
We do not think however that any
undue prominence is given to this consideration.
Self interest at best is a very active
principle, and all that we can ask of it is a
proper deference to the restraints of higher
and nobler motives. These, the orator has not
forgotten, to present and enforce. He appeals
in ill A hUtnfin nn'^A rif hid oii^i^nna lltai*
| honor, justice and patriotism ; and depicts in
th# most vivid color the evils of sectional agitation.
Ilis position is in dircct antagonism to
the ruling faction at home ; Bud be exhibits the
magnanimity and moral courage of the tntt
statesman, in holding and avowing his prineiplea.
A Whig, he is ready to unite with the
democrats in an effort to aa^e the Union ; and
rising above the prejudices of party, pays the
following noble tribute to the spirits and triumphs
of the Democracy : "That it bad burned
ever with that great master passion this

sod progressive nationality. - Through
some errors, into some peril*, it baa been led
by it; it may be so Again ; we nay require'<6
temper and restrain it, but to day w? need it
all, we need it all 1?the hope* the boaaU, the
pride, the universal tolerance, the gay and festive
defiance of foreign dictation, the flag, the
music, all th6) emotion*, all the trait*, all the
energies that have won their victories of war,
and tbeir miracle* of national advancement?
the country needs them all now to win a victory
of peace."
The leading idea?the key note of the whole
peecb, is the evil tendepcy of gtograpkieml parti
m. The orator shows thai the effect of
luoh parties, is to array section against see
uon in emoiuerea animosity; to introdoo*
a new name and spirit into th? history of politics,
which would ignore every American, national
andpatriotic principle; that snob an organisation,
is founded on essential injustice;
inoe it attempts to exclude from the powers
and privileges of the Gov?rninent? Jfut section
which by every compact, express or implied is
entitled to an equal participation in its rights
, ud immunities; that, such a party most be
dangerous to the general welfare, and finally
lead to the dissolution of the Union, sinoe it
develop# every* element of diaeord, tad fatut*
*ifie* every feeling of actional hoetifity. ^
And now, what i* the heceetity ;, what'the
policy of eo daafsnraa an. organization t The
orator elearly ehowa that it ia impotent to atbeta

tion, and it ia useless to attempt to contravene j
their operation. But does this party propone,
in the language of some of its lenders, to "roll
back-the tide of slavery ; " to "avenge the
annexation of Louisiana and Texas ;" to introduee
a "new era;" to "proclaim liberty
and equality to enrry out the principles "of
tlie Constitution in the light of the Declaration
of Independence ; " it will but engender ,
strife, excite the hostility of the master and
rivst mors securely tlie chains of the slave.

A late number of the Charleston Mercury.
contains* long and able letter from the Hou.
Barnwell Rhett to Gov. Adams oa the state of ,
public affair*.
The viows of th? writer, both as to tho past
and the future, aro gloomy and desponding,
lie reviews the history of the country for the 1
past forty years, and exhibits the growth and
progress of two dominant principles at the
North, self interest and fanaticism ; the first
as displayed in the passage of odious protective
tariffs, the second in Congressional restrictions
upon the introduction of Slavery into the '
territories. The two principles are of kindred
nature and tendencies, the end of both bcine
to prey upon the rights and interests of the ,
South. With due deference, we think the principle
of self interest* and sectional aggrandizement,
to be dominant nnd controlling; and that
of fanaticism merely subsidiary to its advancement
Anti-slavery, is made the watchword
of a party, which seeks by restricting the area ,
of Slavery, to cripple the resources of the
South and give to Northern sectionalism, a
controlling influence in the Government, and
an exclusive participation in its perquisites.
Give the principle of self interest its a see ndencv.

own party adherent*. Fanaticism, consolidation,
and a disregard of Constitutional restraint*,
all minister to the growth of this principle.
In the career of Northern aggression upon
the rights of the South, and the compacts of
the Constitution, Mr. Khctt clearly shows that
the great mistake of the South was untimely
corietuion. A manly resistance which should
have presented the alternatives of equality
or disunion, would have brought the North to
reflection ; and self interest the master passion
would havo counselled moderation. But, the
golden opportunity was suffered to escapc ;
concession succeeded concession, until now a
dominant faction, flushed with the spoils of triumph,
and the prestige of success, will press us
to the last extremity. To use the words of the
writer, "all true statesmanship at tho 'South
consists in forming combinations and shaping
events, so as to bring about, as speeily as possible
a dissolution of the Union." If the Xortli
will eoneede a Tariff, reduce to the standard,
of 1838,' and cive lis additional econritica hv
consenting to amendment of the Constitution,
the Uuiod will be worth preserving; otherwise
let it be dissolved.
And is there nothing in the present aspect
of affairs, to justify these gloomy forebodings,
and to warrant thes extreme measures. What
is the election of Buchanan, but a mere respite
in the onset; a four years truce,, and that obtained
oply after the most determined and well
organised resistance. Who could have prophesied
fonr year ago, that the very incarnation
of .the spirit of injustice, could have stormed
the citadel of the Union, and held so long in
suspense the issue of the conflict Black Republicanism
has roceived a mere temporary
check. W

Public Meeting.
According to previous notice, a meeting
of the citizens of Abbeville Village was
held iu the Court House, on Saturday, the
7th instant, to consider the propriety of
petitioning the Legislature for an amendment
of the Charter, of Incorporation, po
as to confer upon the Council the power of
imposing a tax upon town property.
John G. Willson, the Intendant, was
called to the Chair, and W. A. Leo requested
to act as Secretary.
Col. J. F. Marshall briefly stated the
object of the meeting, and advocated the
policy of conforing the taxing power upon
the Council, and placing in their hands the
means of carrying out a more extended
system of Internal Improvement. Before
discussing the details of a plan, be thought
it best to take the sense of the meeting as
to the policy of confirming this new power;
and made a motion to that effect.
The motion was seconded by II. A. Jones,
Esq., who expressed himself in favor of
(inv Rp.limnn nf Inrutinn wlii/'li ilknnl.1 !m_
pose its duo proportiou of burden upon
every species of property ; and at the sari e
time force every resident to pay a reasonable
capitation tax.
Mr. It. II. Wardlaw stated, tliat before
he should feel himself prepared to vote for
an amendment of the Charter, so as to confer
tho power sought, he desired to have
the whole subject discussed, and the details
of some scheme of taxation submitted to
the meeting.
Col. Marshall stated that be had examined
tho honk* of the Tax Collccter, and was
ready to submit the leading feature of a
plan to raise the tax. He proposed to levy
a tax of one-fourth of one per cent, upon
real estate, merchandize and professions;
of one dollar per head upon all slaves, between
sixteen years and fifty ; a tax ranging
from two dollnrs to1 four dollars, upon
every carriage, wagon and buggy ; a tax
of one dollar upon every dog, over and
jibove one dog to each family, die., ikr.
The Doliev of ear.h and nil nf tVipcn *!/_

tax upon every citizcn ; the proper mode
of making the assessment, die., gaye rise
to quite an interesting debate, in which Dr.
