1 Governor Hayne. of South Carolina, makes ] the following remarks in his Message, which every freeman ought 10 read.
 '''rhe Whigs of inc Union are beginning to rouse themselves from that fatal apathy in which. they have too long slunbered, and thanks be to God the Spirit of Liberty is a. gain round the land. must be permitted. however, to express my appTeheBsiOns, the result of careful observation of passing e. vents, and of no small experience iW the cOun- cils of the nation, that the public mind is not yet fully awakened iO the alarming condition of the country, and that even those who felt most keenly the rifectsof Executive usurpas tim, are mt yet prepared to apply any effec- tive remedy. The true remedy, in my esti- nation, Is Convention o} the States-to re- form the ConstitutiOn--tO take fresh securi- ties for the public Liberty--to secure Execu- tive responsibility, and erect new guards a. gainst Federal usurpaiion. The rights of the States, and the Liberties of the citizens, must be effec,uaily seeuseds the general Govern nnent must be brought back to ifs true limits the executive must he confined to its appro- priate sphere--and in a word, the restrictions imposed by ConstitutiOnai compact between the sovereign States must be. sacredly adher- ed to, or the Union cannot be much longer preserved.
 :. aln under the deepest conviction, that our Liberties are in da0ger. The Govern nient is rapidly degeneraling into an irrespon- slblc despotistn. With the Purse and the Sword, and the vast patronage of a cOnsoii- dated Government in his hands, the President will appoint his successor. Congress will be held tn subjection by Executive patronage, which will be brought into hourly conflict with the freedom of elections and if under such disastrous circumstances, any of the States shall he able 10 preserve their Liberties, they may not be able to preserve the Union. Let every man, therefore, who loves the land of ms birth or adoption--every true disciple of Liberty-all who are sincerely devoted to the Constitutinn and the Union-forgetsing minor dtereDces--Mnite in one mighty effort for the salvation of their country. Our course. fellow citizens. at this momentous crisis. is perfectly cleaS. The path of duty lies plainly before us. Let SIS resolve tO walk therein, pressing forward to that glorious consumMa. tiou Of our hdpcs--a Rndical Reform of all existing abuses. Unsnbdued by the blandish- ments or the frowns of power, jet US stand prepared. eagerly to embrace, and steadily to p'Irsne, every measure-.-cOIne from, Whal quarter tt may-having in view the glorious work of Rrforin-alwass bearing in mind. that upon the issue of our labors in this ield, depend the preservation of that noble inherit ance Of freedom, which was purchased by our fathers. with their blood, which We are bound hy the inost sacred obligations to traDsrnit unimpaired 10 the latest pOsterity."

national bank, and judiciary, became neces-
sary TO the democratic party; for 1t will not
be denied that il was that party which elect
ed Mr.. Madison, Mr.. Monroe, and Mr.. Ad-
ans. Under the mild administration of Mr..
Monroe, the era ofgood feelings commenced.
He appointed, l. will not say Unfortunately,
for this was not the fact, but he did appoint
many federaiists to office, not as some may
suppose, prompted by the celebrated letter of
General Jackson, advising him to put down
the "monster party" and which won for the
supposed writer, the hearts OF the tederaists;
no--on the part of Mr.. Monroe, it was prac-
tice without preaching; unlike some others,
who preached without practising, he acted ac-
cording to the dictates of his own benevolent
feelings.
Was the democracy overturned when Mr..
Monroe retired from Office? Was it the fed
eralists who elected the Secretary of State of
Mr.. Monroe to succeed him And yet, those
who succeeded against Mr.. Adams, now call
themselves the democratic party, with ultra
federaiias at their head Mr.. Adams was ha-
ted by the most violent federalists, because
he had left their party; and his father was ha-
ted because he had discouraged Hamilton
and Pickering. Tho contest between Mr..
Adams and General Jackson, turned upon no
great principles ofpolicy or Of government
it was contest for the office merely, and Gen.
Jackson freely promised his support Of all
principles, of all measures, and of all men; OF
oil opinions; and hence the contradictions
between his professions and his actions. 1t
was believed that he would be the Presiden.
of the nation, a Wing President, and not the
President of party-anu that he would per-
feet the era of good feelings began under
Mr.. Monroe. Some good democrats thought
the democratic line ofSuccession had been con-
tinued long enough and were unwilling to
see it prolonged in Mr.. Adams; they wished
to see some one elected, who could have no
participation in cabinet intrigue, and who
could derive no support from Executive pat
ronage. Many were taken by the promise OF
serving but one term, true Wing principle,
most faithfully observed by General Jackson.

place. Nature has formed the ground in the
best possible manner. The citizens are So
cial, hosptable, and many of them highly re-
fined. There are many elegant buildings
both public and private. But there arc many
buildings also, which are old and decayed-
which, if repaired or replaced with those of
more modern date, would greatly improve
the appearance Of the town."

of declining to have any business con-

From the Providence Journal Of Mon


The Republican Herald Of Wednesday
last, asks why we keep putting Mr.. Burgess
AGAINST WIN. sprague, ir.? We answer Be.
cause Mr.. Sprague and Mr.. Burgess are by
custom considered the candidates for the
northern sections of the State. We will not
disgrace Mr.. Burgess by associating his name
with that of DUTEE J. PEARCE. We have
the authority of the great leader Of the Jack
son party of this State, Gov. JAMES FENNER,
for saying that Dutcc ]. Pearce is rotten TO
The core-that he has not a sound spot polti-
caly from the crown of his head, to the soles
of his feet Gov. Fenner declared ut the last
Congressional election, that Pearce had been
a TRAITOR to all parties, and was perfectly
unprncipled. Does the Herald deny this uu-
thority Is not Gov. Fcnner well qualified
to Judge of the character and conduct Of Du-
tee J. Pearce, and has he not had the most ia
vorablc opportunities for making up fair and
lust Judgment upon his merits Is 1t strange
therefore that we are unwilling to associate
the name Of Tristan Burgess with that OF
man, who has been pronounced by the most
influential gentleman of the party to which
Pcarce belongs, to be so infamous and aban-
doned Besides, who would think OF compar-
ing the rich, classical, lofty and gigantic IN
tellect of ByRGEs, with the low, vulgar, puny
mind of Pearces Who would think of cum
pairing the melodious, captivating, and almost
irresistible eloquence of Burgess, with those
hoarse, grating, discordant and repulsve
sounds, which can be likened to nothing else
on this earth, except the croakings OF certain
tenants of boys and fcns. There is nothing
common to Tristan Burgess and Dntee j..
Pearce to compare, and how can we then be
blamed for not attempting comparison be-
tween thom?
But tho Herald appears to be very rcstve
under our comparison Of the qualifications OF
VIM. Sprague, ,jr. with those of Tristan Bur-
gcs. 1t is not at all surprising that they are
so, and are anxious to extricate Mr.. Spraguo
from such an ordeal. There is not man of
the meanest understanding in this State, be-
longing to any party, but sees the measure
less superiority Of Tristan Burgess to VIM.
Sprague, r. in point of qualifications to ro-
present this State in the Congress ofthe Uni
ted States. And every man in view OF this
vast superiority cannot avoid asking himself,
why should choose u man OF inferior quail
cations to represent me in Congress, when
can as easily avail my self of the qualifications
of Burgess, which are, to say the least, equal
to those OF any man who will represent any
of the larger States in the next Congress p
No man can avoid asking himself this qucs-
ltion; and no honest man, who Is not eaten up
with party feeling, and who has a proper re-
gard to the interest Of this State, can hesitate
how he shall answer it at the Polls on the
25th inst. We cannot doubt that an immense
majority of the freemcn will be found honest
enough, and possessing State pride enough,
to give response, honorable to themselves,
just to the State, and advantageous to our
common country.

Attack on the Post Office in Charlesion.-1,

Attack on the Post Office in Chnlesion.--1t
was stated in the Charleston papers of July
29th, that the United States Mail, received
by the packet ship Columbia, on the day pre-
vious, contained mass of papers and tracts
relating to the subject of slavery, and de-
signed for distribution in that quarter. On
the same day, a meeting of the South Caro-
lima Association was held, and circular is
sued to the post masters in the South and
West, apprising them Of this fact. The Pa
triot of the next day, however, gives an ac-
count, in the following terms, of the entry of
the Post Office in the night of the 29th, and
the carrying away Of the tracts in question
by number Of the citizens.
The Post Office in this city was forcibly
entered last night, by removing an inside
shutter at the north end, and bag contain
ing large number of incendiary tracts and
newspapers, intended for distribution to the
South and West of this place, taken thence,
and will, we understand, be made bonfire Of
to night at o'clock, without the limits Of the
city. There was no injury committed or vio-
lence done to any other part of the Post Of
fee, abstracting the above bag and its con-
tents being the only object.
The same paper of August LIST contains
the following resolution and notice of the
City Council.
CRY COUNCIL, August !, 1885.
Whereas very proper excitement exists
in this community in consequence of the ar
rival from the North of certain ncendiary
papers,which if distributed would be likely to
produce ncalculable evil. And whereas,
public safety requires that some prompt and
efficient means should be adopted to counter.

principled Fanatics who are improperly in.

FIRE.-A fire broke out in the Dry

Mrs. Margaret Almy's building, next
south Of this office, on Saturday evening
last, about 10 o'clock, and but for the
prompt and efficient exertions of our cit
izens, must have produced very serious
consequences. Fortunately the fire was
discovered at an curly hour, there being
little or no wind at the time. The dam
age to the goods and store will not prob
ably fall short Of two thousand dollars.
The goods were insured at the Etna
