The Hon. R. NJ. T. HUNTER, Speaker of the House
OF Representatives, has written letter to his const
uents, i'll which he defines his position as one of dig
nifed neutrality. He says he can neither support
General Harrison nor Mr.. Van Buren, and therefore,
declines offering himself as candidate for re-elec-
ton. Speaking of the candidates for the Prcsidcn-
cy, he renlrks "we belong to different schools in
politics; am strict consructonist and they, be-
lieve, latitudinarians-Mr. Van Buren, being rather
less so of the two In another portion of his letter
he says: "both are committed, l think, to the pow.
er of the general government over the subject OF in
ternal Improvement but Gen. Harrison the more deep
ly Of the two. H., believe, voted for the system
in all its forms"

next election between him and General
Harrison. Looking upon the latter gen,
1eman as the representative OF Federal
principles, in the present contest, ana
knowing that he has never been identlhed
with the republican party in any OF its
great struggles against the influences
which have been calculated to take power
from the States, and give it to the General
Governments; to suppose that l would tor
a momen. think of giving my support to
such an individual as candidate for the
Presidency would be mockery OF all pub
lie principle.
In respect to the statements which have
been made in several of the newspapers
of the day, that disagree with many OF
NV political friends in the estimate they
have formed Of General Harrison's militia,
ry merits, l am not aware Of having salu
any thing to Justify them. Having never
admired General Harrison as military
man, or considered him possessing the
Qualities which constitute the commander
of an army, have looked at his political
relations alone in the opinions l have
formed or expressed respecting his pre-
tensions to the Presidency, and the conse-
ouences which would result to the eoun-
trv. should the sufrages of the people
place him in that high office,
/ am respectfully,
Your obedent servant,

THE LCAFER IN TEXAS.
A HUMOROUS SKETCH.


Bv the Editor of the Morning Star.
During the hardest of the storm, the day
before yesterday, we took lounge down
to the steamboat landing; while standing
on the brink of deep gully that emptied
its torrents Of water into the bayou. our al
tenlion was attracted to the bottom of the
gully, where drunken loafer was STEM.
ming the torrent, holding on to root fast
anchored in the bank. The poor fellow,
not knowing any one was near him, was
combating his fate manfully, and in cacu-
Iating his chances Of escape, gave utter
ance 10 the following:
Haynt this an orful sitivation 10 be
laced in, nohow. If was steamboat,
rail, or wood pile, I'D be better worth
fifty cents on The dollar than I'll ever be
again. Unless I'm gone case now, there
haynt no truth in frenology. I've weigh
ed all the chances like gineral, and find
only two that bears in my favor; the first is
skunk hole to crawl into, and The second
special interpersition of Providence; and
the best chance Of the two is so slim, if l
only had the change, I'd give premium
for the skunk hole-them's my sentiments.
If could be mink, mushrat, or water
snake, for about two months, prehaps !
wouldn't mount the first stump tolher side
the Rio. and flap my wings and crow over
everlastin' life scientifically preservated.
"But what's the use holding on this roon
there haynt no skunk hole in these ere
gins;-the water is getting taller about
a feet, and if my noss was as long as king
dom come, it wouldn'ts,ick out much long
or. Oh, Jerry! Jerry! you're gone suck.
er, and l guess your marin don't know
you're out, poor woman! wont she cry the
glasses out of her spectacles when she
hears her darlin' Jerry has got the whole
of Buferlo Rio for his confin! What a
pity lis some philanthopis or member of
the humane society never had foresight
enough to build house over this gutter,
with steam engine to keep out the wa
ter! lfthey'd done it in time, they might
have had the honor and qualification of
saving the life of feller being; but it's all
day with you Jerry, and big harbor to
cast anchor in. lis too bad to 60 off in
this orful manner, when they knows | OIL

enough 10 know 'twant whiskey. l feel
the root givin' way, and since l don't
know a prayer, here's bit of Watts
Doxoloscr, to prove died Christian;
"On the bank where droop'd the willer,
Long time ago."
Before Jerry got to the conclusion, Ire
was washed into the bayou, within a few
feet of large flat that had just started for
the steamboat; his eye caught the pros
pect of deliverance, and he changed the
burden of his dirgc into thrilling cry of
"Heav to; passenger overheard and sink
ing, with u belt full of specie! the man
what saves me makes his fortune" Jer-
ry was fshed ashore by a darkey, and to
show his gratitude, invited Quashey TO "go
up to the doggery and liquor"

THE MILLER AND TIE FooL.-A miller
who attempted to be witty at the expense
of youth of weak intellect, accosted him
with, "John, people say that you arc a
fool" To which John replied, 81 don't
know that am sir; l know some things,
sir, and some things l don't know, sir"
We'll, John what do you know?' 81
know that miller's have fat hogs sir
"And what don't you know?' 81 don't
know whose corn they eat, sir."

EyproRNe ExpEprIoS.-The news has reached
us from Now South Wales, by the way of Rio ia
neiro. that the Vincennes, Lieut.. WILKES, comnan-
der, has succeeded in landing upon now Southern
Continent, which was first discovered on the 18th
of January. She ran down the coast about seven
teen hundred miles, and has obtained specimens OF
rock and earth, some of them weighing one hundred
pounds.
However interesting to geographers, this discoVe'
ry is unimportant commercially considered as the ex-
treme cold must prevent any attempt at colonization.
The Peacock was disabled from her contact with
cebergs, and had put into Sidney, (N South Wales)
for repairs. As soon as they were completed, the
whole expedition were to proceed Southwark

the claims of the two candidates to the
favor of the South, and concluded by
expressing in the strongest terms, ms sur
prise and astonishment that any Southern
man, with Republican principles, should
hesitate one moment i'll giving to MIR. Van
Buren, his most zealousan and cordial support.
The Hon. D. L. WARDLAw being then
called for, addressed the meeting in a
speech of about forty-fve minutes, in
which he rapidly and eloquently gave his
views and the reasons for them. He a.
vowed himself in favor of the Sub Trea-
sury, and of any honest measure which
might serve to compel the State Banks to
a performance of their contracts. His
opinions conceded with those expressed
in the foregoing toasts- On the Presiden-
tial question he showed, that with regard
to the course of the Abolitionists, to a sys-
tenn of Internal Improvements by the Gen.
eral Government, to Tariff, to a United
States Bank, to the principles of Demo-
cracy and State Rights, to the restoration
and preservation of sound currency, and
to economy in the public expenditures,
the South had much to hope from a con-
tinuance of Mr.. VAN BuRENs Admins
tration, and every thing to fear from the
ascendancy of the party which sustalns
Gen. HARR1soN. He declared his pur-
pose, if elected, to give his hearty and
Jealous aid towards the election of MIR.
VAN buren,.
GEach of the other candidates present
gave their sentiments, which accord with
those of the gentlemen above.

FOURTH OF JULY AT ABBEVILLE


About $500 persons attended to JOIN III
the festivities ofthe day. The Hon. Geo
McDuffie presided, assisted by Thos. C..
Perrin, Thos. Thompson, and u. ). Red,
as Vice Presidents.
After the Regular Toasts, the following
was given:
By the Committee of Arrangements
GEO. Nc DuFF1E, the President Of The day
Our former distinguished, long-tred and
faithful Representative in Congress-The
champion of the Constitution, of the South
and Southern interests. In craftsmanship,
talents andintcgrity equalled by few sur
passed by none. He now devotes his time,
by his own choice, solely to the pursuits OF
Agriculture; but South Carolina still with
pride points to him as one Of her most
cherished and gifted sons.
To this Mr.. McDuffie replied by a
speech of about an hours length, which
was enthusiastically chcered.
After his thanks to the meeting for re-
membering him in his retirement, ne enter
ed upon the topics which now agltate the
public mind, promising that as he had,
when in public life never concealed from
his constituents his sentiments upon any
political topic, even when he differed with
them most widely, he trusted that he could
not now, as private citizen, be suspected
of any sinister design when he declared
his opinions.
He explained what the Independent
Treasury was, and enforced the propriety
of its adoption as a :noans Of making the
pubic Treasure satc, of rendering the
Government wholly Independent, of pro-
noting economy in public expenditures,
and Of furnishing sound currency. He
had before supported the United States
Bank as he found it existing, because he
deemed it then useful as a regulator of the
currency but the same Bank, if now ex-
isting in the same form, could not regulate
the State Banks, increased as they had
been in number and capital; and a greater
dclusion never possessed any people, than
that of those who supposed that the estab-
lishmcnt of a new National Bank, such as
might be hoped to furnish a sound curren-
cy, would afford any reliefto the present
distress
Upon the Presidential question, as to the
men merely, he was Indifferent. however
greatly he might suppose them to differ in
ability: but looking upon them as the rep
resentatives of diverse parties and inter-
ests, he could not doubt the propriety of
the South supporting Mr.. Van Buren.
He had thought i'll of Mr.. Van Buren, but
had never been more disappointed by any
one, than by him since his election. To
Mr.. Van Buren, 10 one could now lmpute
non-comuaital:-his course had been open,
firm and favorable to our interests-he
had always been of the Republican party,
opposed as now by the Federalists, and
he seemed to be fairly acting up to his
professions.
General Harrison was the representa-
tive of the money influence; known to be
superannuated and imhecile; but set up by
those who would use him for their pur-
poses, and sustained by pageantry and
boast, addresses to the lowest passions
made by designing Aristocrats, beer bar
rels and log cabins, but no declaration Of
principles. He examined and contrasted
