THURSDAY, August 90, 1910.

We call particular attention TO the extract
which we make to-day, from the address Of
trict. Col Perry as is known, has always been
opposed 10 the Independent Treasury. Not
withSlandng, be has cast the weight Of his lnnu-
encc in fuvcr Of the Administration. His bio.
grIpIlic sketch Of Mr. Van Buren, IS an able
answer 10 The numerous grave charges which
have been performed against him by the Wings.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1840-08-20

We were highly graIlied. when at the
late pu!iic meeting near Duntonsvillc. in
this District, The Hon. a. p. BuiIe: though
not a partisan, declared himself in fuvur Of
Mr.. Van Buren E,r the Presidency. Since
his elevation 10 tn Bcrch.J Judge B. has min
eled but little in party contests, as his lime
was engrsset in the performance of his ju-
dlcal duties. However. he did not hesitate
10 express hisupnions 10 his friends, when
an occasion presented itself. At this juno
ton. by far the most important. since the
memorable contest between Adams and
j lfcrson. judge B. has deemed il his du-
~ to come ou' boldly and decidedly, be-
f.re his fellow citizcus, on the .lc Of Mar
rn Van Bnren, because the latter has ta-
ken fearless stand against Abolition and
National Bank. Judge b. has long
bcen known as an able public servant in
South Carolina, and the weigh, Of his
name will add much to The Democratic
cause in this section OF the Slate.

Some Southern Wings boast much Of
The influence which Mr.. Webster has ex-
crted, and is now cSerins in favor Of The
institutions Of the South. They speak Of
some of his public speeches in which he
praised The Southern Wings and Southern
people. We believe all his Friendship for
the South, to he hollow and unreal. His
whole political course completely proves
it We do not charge him with being
all Abolitionist, but few men have done
more 10 strengthen their party than he
IN the war of Gen. Jackson upon South
Carolina, Mr.. Webster. though an ancient
enemy, was found battling by his side,
ready and anxious 10 give his support TO
any and every measure, which the Con

friendship of such man for the South,

TIE Legislature Of this State assembled
in Frankfort on the 9Th inst. In the Ser
ate, MAYLIus V. TnoGsoS, Lieutenant
Governor, took the chair as Speaker, and
made very eloquent and appropriate ad-
dress. In the House Of Representatives
the House was called to order by CHARLES
6. MoREBEAD, who had been elected
Speaker of the called session. On taking
the chair, Mr.. MoREHEAD remarked that
he understood difference Of opinion exist
ed among the members as to whether The
election of officers at the called session was
10 be considered as an election for that &C.
casion only, or for the regular session also.
That, So soon as he had heard Of the doubt,
he had made up his own mind to submit the
matter TO the Honse, and to leave the cleo
ton of Speaker to the House of Roprescn'
tattvcs.
Whatever of difficulty might have ari-
sen from this novel question vas, however,
completely obyiated by a resolution, which
was offered by Hr. SPEED, and was urani-
r7ously adopted, that " the House deems it
