CoMMuNICATED.I

DIED-At the residence of her father, in
Jefferson county, on Sunday morning the
2lst inst, ADA, eldest daughter of Thomas
l.. Dobyns, Esq, aged about FIVE years.
There is a peculiar af1liction in witness
ing the blight of humanity's early buds of
promise. There is IA moral fitness in the
claim Of the tomb upon weary and wlhered
age: There is consolation in what talent,
genius and worth leave behind them, when
cut off in the pride of their prime; but when
sweet and lovely infancy is torn from the
domestic altar and sacrificed to the insa-
tate grave, wounded and bleeding parental
love and fraternal affection can find mitiga-
ton for sorrow only by leaning upon the
arm and confiding in the Justice of Him who
''doeth all things well.n
Little Ada was one of Natures fairest
flowers. Although but FIVE years old, there
was sweetness of disposition, "A ripaness
and beauty in her flial affection, and
sprightllness and early development of her
mental powers, which made her the delight
OF her friends and the idol of her parents
Already had she entwined herself around
every fibre of their hearts, and become the
sacred depository where were garnered up
their highest and their hottest hopes.-We
mourn with them in the blight of those
hopcs.-We sympathize in their sorrow,
now that the fair Olive branch is withered
at their table.
But there is land where parting is IN
known-where the parental heart is un-
wrung by separation from the loved objects
around which it clngs with wild and idola
trous fondness-where the scions of immor-
tally are not blighted in their budding, and
where the rainbow of promise never fades.
In the midst of that bright creation-its
amending day, where "God and the Lamb
are the light thereof"-we trust little Ada
has commenced glorious existence: that
she is already partakng Of its duties and IFS
delights; mingling with ''the ransomed from
among men," and with the throng of Angel
worshippers.

"TO THE PUBLIC.

"Fellow- Citizens Being called sudden
ly home to attend my sick family, have
but q moment to answer few of the ca
lumnies which are in! circulation concern
ing me.
Il am accused Of being friendly to slave-
ry. From my earliest youth to the pre-
sent moment, have been the ardent
friend to human liberty. At the age Of
IS, became member of an abolition
society," established at Richmond, Virgil
MIA; the object of which was to ameliorate
the condition of slaves, and procure their
freedom by e0ery legal means My vene'
rable friend Judge Catch, of Clermont
county, was also member of that socie-
ty. and has lately given me certificate
that l was one. The obligations which I
then came under, I haze faithfully per-
formed. l have been the means Of libera.
ting many slaves, but nevcr placed one in
bondage. l deny that my votes in Con.
gress, in relation to Missouri and Arkan-
sas, are in the least incompatible with
these principles. Congress had no more
legal or constitutional right to emancipate
the negroes in those sections ofLouisiana,
without the consent of their owners, than
they have to free those Of Kentucky.

A few evening since number of gentlemen were
discussing the affairs of the nation in front of our
Office when we observed m old gentleman, who
had come down from North Carolina, with his wagon
to market, stop for moment to listen as he
started to leave he remarked that he had heard the
name Of Mr. VAN buren, mentioned, and wasd esirous
of learning what might be said. On being asked his
opinion, he remarked that "he always judged of@tho
measures of an administration, by the character
which the country sustained among the nations of
the earth, and as the United States during Mr. VAN
BUREN's administration had never stood higher, or
was more respected abroad, and as he had so rium-
phantly sustained the dignity of the country, he
would continue TO sustain him." Such will be the
determination of large majority ofthe bone and sin.
ew of tho country.

GEN. HARRIsoN-CoRRECTIoN.

friend has called our attention to the following
sentence in our editorial of last week, where We
were contrasting the opinions of General HARRISON,
either, the dsingenuous course which some of his
enemies have been charged with, by making garbled
quotations from his letters, but we have in every
instance, laid the whole before them" He has
shown us also, that we did not lay the whole Of the
Generals circular before our readers. All we can
say in explanation is, that we published all that we
had ever seen of it, up to the day on which the
Journal was printed. We take pleasure however
now, in making all the amends in cur power, by
giving the circular entire in this days paper. 1t is
" document" nightly relied on by the Southern
wings, to prove the correctness Of Gen. HARRISON,
in relation to Southern institutions; and they are
welcome to the benefit Of the uhole of it. It will
be perceived that we published scarcely one-fourth
of the document" last week, but if the remainder
is any less Objectionable than the former part then
VIC confess our ignorance of Southern feeling. This
circular was written to explain and defend his vote on
the Missouri question, and he puts it on this ground,
because the territory Of Louisiana, of which Mis-
souri, was part, was purchased under solemn
covenant with France" to recognize and preserve in.
violate the right Of the master over the slave. His
sentiments however may be seen from the last sen.
tencc in the circular, he says:
"We cannot emancipate the Slaves of
the other States without their consent,
but by producing a convulsion which
would undo us all. For this much to be
desired event, we must wait the slow but
certain progress of those good principles,
which are every where gaining ground,
and which assuredly will ultimately pre-
vail"
What "good principles" arc those TO which he refers
in this sentence? Arc they the principles which he
processes, and which "wil ultimately prevail" un.
der his administration, if this country should
init the great folly Of elecing him to the Presden-
tal Chair? We seriously ask, is there any Southern
man, is there any Carolinan who desires to see
these good principles" to which General HAnRIsoN
refers, ultimately prevail?" AS the opinions of Gen.
HARRlsoN on the subject Of slavery, are becoming
more and more important every day. from the posi-.
tion he occupies as prominent candidate for the
Presidency, we shall make apology to our readers
for dwelling little longer on the subject, and con-
trasng his opinions expressed at different times with
those which the South entertans. On tho 9Th Janua
y, 1920, in the Legislature of Ohio, the following
Preamble and Resolution were returned from the
House of Representatives to the Senate:

An old and valued friend who writes under the
euphonious signature of "CLoDHoppER," sent us on
Thursday last, just Sin pudding time," basket of
the finest Irish potatoes we have ever seen. He
says, "it is probable you may have many much
superior" but this is mistake, and we doubt if
they are to be found in South Carolina, not even ex-
ccpting those raised by Mr.. LACosrE, of Cheraw,
and upon which the Editor of the Gazette has been
feasting for the last week. Those raised by Mr.

some of those sent us, weighed IA ounces. We

bells and the firing of cannon. According to pre-.
vious arrangements, our citizens, both civil and mi

DIcKlssoH was elected Orator, and ALEX. Jouvsos
Tnos. E. SHANNON and GEO. GILMAN, appointed
Committee of Arrangements.
A procession was then formed and marched tc
the Presbyterian Church, under the command of Col
HALE as Marshall of the Day, assisted by Mao,
MURRAY, where, after an appropriate prayer by the
Rev. R. B. CAMPBELL, the declaration of Indepen.
dcnce was read by Capt. JAMES P. Dickinson, after
which the following Ode composed by Miss PuELps
for the occasion, was sung by the Choir:
Arise, arise and wake the story,
Of brave Columbia's valiant power,
Thut crowned her fields with deeds of glory,
In dark oppression's trying hour,
Shall foreign Despot, sword unsheathing,
E'or tread again this gallant land,
While her brave sons devoted stand,
Fair freedoms spirit proudly breathing?
No, no, her shores we love,
Our hearts best blood shall flow,
Ere she shall foreign bondage prove,
Or home-bon tyrant know.
This day behold her banners waving,
And hear her bugle's pcaling sound,
The caverns deep and mountains Drawing,
Its notes of victory echo round;
And should its peal awake the slumbers,
Ofthose who sought their CORY bed,
Triumphant to the patriot dead,
Let glory's plume inspire its numbers;
To-day let peans rise
To Heavcn-bom liberty,
Aloud procaiming TO the skies,
A Nations Jubilee.

nertelles. everlasting, which are purcha-
sed on fate days Of anniversaries, and placed
on the graves; the yellow flowers of which,
if gathered before their maturity, will pre-
serve their color and appearance for a
great length of time. The custom OF
throwing garlands over the grave has, in
the absence Of free press, been made an
occasion for the display Of political feeling.
The monument of yonng Lallemand, a
law student, who was killed in 1920, by a
private of the royal guards, during po-
pplar tumult, was placed in Pere Ia Chaise,
at the expense of the students Of the
schools of Law, Medicine, the Fine Arts
and Commerce, who, upon the anniver-
sary of his death, made point to repair
in body to strew immortilles on his grave,
until the government refused them admis.
sion to the ground on The third anniver-
sary. Two young deluded fanatics, bro.
ther and sister, were arrested by the po-
lice Of Paris, in the act of throwing gar
lands on the graves OF Morey and Pepin,
who had been executed with their accom-
plice. the accursed assassin Fsiechi. To
an act of such moral perversion, paral-
lei, happily solitary example, is afford
ed by the historian Suetonius, who, after
dwelling upon the detestabIe character Of
Nero, whose name shall ever be,
Aux plus cruels tyrans unc cruelle iniurc.'
Says that there were not wanting persons
Who, for a long time after his death,
strewe,i flowers on his tomb, each revol-
wing spring ana summer. How pleasing
it is to contrast the feelings which prompt
to acts like these, and the tenderness of
sentiment characteristic of the old custom
nf carrying garlands before the bier of
youthful beauty. which were afterwards
ssrewed over her grave! In 'Hamlel' the
queen scattering flowers says,
"Speets TO the sweet, FAREWELL
hoped thy brlde.bed to have dcckcd, sweet maid,
And not have strcwcd thy grave"
We notice custom in some places of
?lantin- r;'sss, and the poet Gay. noticing
similar practice, says,
"Upon lIer grave the rosemary they threw,
