$lSO Reward.

WIAS Stolen from my house, in Edgefcld
w District 8. g, on the 18th inst, fine,
heavy, Silver Lever Watch, with gold key.
attachedby black, water colored ribbon, which
was used as guard-chain. The Watch has Z
high chrystal, with q smull fiat circle on the
top, and two or three small notches l. think,
where it joins the case.
The Watch was taken by notorious thief,
in the presence Of my Mother, lutte in the eve
ming Of the day above mentioned. He passes
under various assumed names. Sometimes he
calls himself Stephen Bright, alias Tom Jones.
alias Woodsbury. He is dark Completed, re-
sembling a Spaniard, has heavy, black beard,
high, broad cheek bones, chin rather tapering.
He is about feet, to inches high, and is
square shouldered. He is rather Of boDy
look. This thief travels on public roads az ..
foot traveller, and on neighborhood roads, gen.
orally carries in his hand bride, which, he
says is for the purpose of catching estray hoi-
ses. Whenever be enters house he is always
in great hurry, and says that he cannot wait
for any preparation Of meals; but if any thing
cold, or not cooked is at hand. he seizes it, and
decamps. He seldom, or never enters house
at times when the male members are present.
1t is probable that he will pass as a beggar,
on foot, or a gentleman on horseback, wherev-
er he goes. He is known to have stolen sew
eral horses, Watches and Pocket Books, and
broken open several houses, in the presence of
49, fss.~ies- .nd- children. tie Is also known
to have called at several houses for enter
tainment, and to have departed suddenly be-
fore any thing could be prepared. Whenever
he enquiries the distance to particular place,
he generally, or always takes the opposite
course, in order TO evade pursuit, if it should
be made. $120 reward will be paid for his
detection and delivery in jail at Edgefeld C. H.
BIS will be given for the recovery of the watch
alone. SAMUEL MARSH.

Great Britain about the slaves withheld
from the Enterprise, is ono. Of the most
remarkable of the session. II has received
high and deserved encomiums from men
of all parties. Its lucid reasonings, are ir-.
resistible; and the animadyersion upon
the inconsistent attitudes assumed by
Great Britain, not merely in relation to
her controversy with us, but in regard TO
her assumed position before the world,
upon the subject of slavery, compared
with her actual condition, is not less just
than severe.
The New York Evening Star, another
able and leading journal, says-,>'
Letters from Washington unite in
giving a high and important character 10
the speech delivered by Mr.. Calhoun on
the 18th. 1t was not OH The abstract doc
trines OF the Abolitionists, as some sup
pose, nor the constitutional rights Of the
slave States, but Of a more general charac-
ter, predicated on the rights of American
vessels driven by stress of weather into
friendly ports; and he maintained the ju-
risdiction of the State to which such YES.
sci belongs, over her rights and interests,
which can lose none of those rights by be.
ing forced into friendly or neutral port.
This was carried out by reference to
the case Of the brig Enterprise, the Enco-
MUM, and the Comet, vessels sailing from
one State to another State, having slaves
on board, sent from one plantation TO an
other, and released by the British au,hori-
ties Of the islands, into the ports of which
these vessels were driven by stress of
weather. 1t is true, tha, after many years
ofnegotiatiou, the British Government has
seen the expediency aud justice in making
indemnify TO the owners but the Minis
try will not avow the doctrine, and estab.
lish the principle that our vessels carrying
domestic slaves from one State 10 another,
shall be released with their slaves, il driv-
en- by stress Of weather, into their ports.
This right must be avowed openly and
unequivocally. 1t will never do to per.
nit The Aboltionists of the North to con-
federate against Southern rights guaran-
tied by the Constitution, and at the same
time 10 find them backed in their position
by the practices Of the British Govern
meut touching the safety of Southern prop.
erty, accidentally thrown into their ports.
Mr.. CaIhoun's position is not disputed,
and carried out with frmness and temper,
will ishow the British Government the ne
cessity Of abstaiuing in every respect, from
being mingled up or participating in car
rying out the doctrines Of this vexed ques-
lion."

Several days since, we read the Speech
Of Mr.. Duncan, of Ohio, ION the bill to
authorize the issue Of Treasury Notes"
Much the largest portion Of the speech,
is taken up with the history Of the Flor
ida War, from its commencement to the
present time. In reading the remarks OF
Mr.. Duncan, we were forcibly reminded
of the celebrated debate de omnibus rebus
ct quibusdam aliis which took place in
the Senate, some years since, and in which
our own Hayne and Mr.: Webster partici-
pated.
In these days of speech making, it is not
at all necessary for an orator to confine
himself to his text. He is privileged to
Ay off from his subject, and discourse on
any thing that seemeth to him proper.
Many take the liberty, to speak on any
thing else, bu, tho subject before them.
This is using the freedom of speech with
a vengeance.
