| Being in company few days back, heard the
question often asked, what is whiggery think the
name is not applicable to those who have feloncou.
| " taken to themselves the title in our day. well
remember that some flty-six years or more ago, III
old South Carolina, there were two characters If
persons, one called whs the other tory. Iako well
remember the conduct of the one towards the Other,
in those days The tories came into INV fathers
house, while he was confncd in prison bv some Of
the party at Camden, S. G. and carried off bis pro-
pertY. After the lapse Of a few weeks back couIs
loryism, and steals what h. can find, then noYa
down towards the lower end Of the state and con.
tinued his deprcdations, and took up camp naf
Georgetown, and WIS about establishing bank and
calling upon all to join him, making many speechcs
and mighty parade. In the same neghborhood
was Francis Marion, who became insucd with Mr.
Toryism, collected few Of the then called wings,
fell upon him and killed him. After receiving hs
death wound, he cried out TO a little fellow who al
always followed him, "Ay, brother, fly for your life,
change your name quick, for wings Marion will
spare. Now if Whigism in our day is not the lht
brother of Toryism, | cannot tell what il is HB
conduct and disposition all prove him to be the same
little brother. AN OLD CAEoLishE.
