The Bee holds the following language on the
subject: ~
"We have every assurance that the public
meeting this evening, to take into consideration
the condition of our suffering countrymen in
Mexico, will be one ofthe largest and most en-
thusiastc everheld IN this city. The spirit of
the people has been touched, and we trust that
many months will not elapse before the fires of
liberty will illuminate the palace of the, Monte
z1rnas.
"Every days delay in pressing the claims of
urAmerican captives upon the protection Oft
Government, but serves to fritter away the ma.
tional enthusiasm, and dampcns the ardor of the
people. Perhaps some of those wretched VIC
! tins of nhuman barbarity have already pershed
by the hand of the assassin feed by the peridious
authorities of Mexico; and surely the longer the
Government is withheld from their succor. the
more cruel and vindictive will their oppressors
be to them.

For the Camden Journal.

Mr.. Editor: The April election approa ches,
and the situation in which our town has been
for the past year should admonish US to cast
about and see if circumstances do not demand of
us to make new selection for Councillor
none need disguise the fact that so long as three
of the present Council are permitted to retain of
fee, just SO long no good can be effected. The
experiment has been tried, and it has failed
Those men were elected for the name, and not
the interest of the people, and most conclusively
have they shown to us their object. With ST.
700 in the Treasury to what improvement can
they point, as having been effected! They ex-
pended near $40 on west DeKalb street, and
left it in worse situation than before. The
project of laying out drain on Broad street from
DeKalb to Rutledge, was effected at an expense
of near $50, and the tan bark hauled thereon
was swept away by the next rain, to obstruct the
bitches below. Tan bark was left standing in
heaps until levelled by time, without any :advan-
tage to the streets. Why was it, that after the
heavy rains of last September, our rery efficient
Council were not on the alert, to have the public
bitches (then overgrown by grass) cleaned out,
so that the water, at that time stagnant, might
have been drained off, and saved the town from
the fever, which scourged US. for three weeks
thereafter! Our bridges have become dilapida-
ted; so much so, as at times to become almost
impassable-in crossing that one on Rutledge
street wagoners have been obliged to dsmouns
and repair it before attempting to pass with
load. Who can accord with that system of econ-
omy practised throughout the year, when, at its
expiration, no Improvement can be shown.
MIR. Editor, as the majority Of our Council
were absent the best part of the year, is it at all
strange that their meetings were but seldom
held, or that they should have exhibited an in.
difference or lukewarrlness to our interest! Ia
it at all strange that the bitches running through
private lots were eftwholly unattended to, the
past summer, when these oat-ot-toaon gentry felt
no alarm for the consequences! The town has
ample means to keep every thing IN the very
best order For the amount accrulng from all
sources, does nut come short OF 2'ooo dollars.
This, iudciously expended, would place our
nrinciual streets in such an improved condition.
as to REQUIRE no further outlay for five years.
