To the different Temperance Societies in South
Carolina,

The State Temperance Society, at lis last An.
nual Meeting, determined on holding Meeting in
Greenville in the ensuing summer. The time is
now fixed for the Cd Monday in August. Each
Society will be>expected to send Delegates: the
number is of course very much in their discretion:
but would suggest, that generally about ten dele.
gates be appointed by each Society. -
We have reached an important point in the Tenn
ptrance Reformation: tho whole people of the State
are aroused upon the subject. if we act in harmony
and perfect concert, the good which may be done
is ncalculable The object of the Greenville Con.
vention is to attain desirable end.
Let US then, beloved friends, for the rescue ofour
companions, friends acquantances, and even .the
stranger within our gates come 10 the resolution to
sacrifice few days. and meet our brethren of South
Carolina and North Carolina, in the sight of our
own majestic mountains. That, by interchanging
thoughts, and becoming known to one another, we
shall be able to form that army of temperate free
men, who will be as unbroken and as invincible, as
the Macedonian .Phalanx. Let each Society,
Washington, Total Abstinence, or Partial ,Absti-
nencc,) send up delegates. We are allactng for the
good of our fellow men, and By taking sweet coun-
sci together, we shall not diminish our chance of
success. ~. ~ n. ~

in ancient poetry. It may never be exactly attain

his infancy. Our gallant and heroic fathers surpass

institutions oflberty and freedom, which they no.

and of harmony ofaction, to that which they OK.
hibited in the Revolution, will now conduct US to
the achievement ofas great conquest, and bring
about as great o deliverance, as that which seven

thereby became ffcemen. We hope 10 continue free,
and to be SOBER
For such consummation, let there be but one spi.
rt among u.s. and let that be- to excel each other in
advancing Temperance. Let u.s. have but ono mind
and let that be, TO give up predictions for our
own plans, and act upon such as will do most good
These results can only be accomplished bythc Tenn.
porancc Convention at Greenve. To it, let all con.
stantly look, and in it, let erery Society be repre-
Sentcd.
1t is respectfully asked the President of each
Temperance Society to read this Circular to the So
cety over which he prcsides at its first meeting after
the receipt Of and ask their consideration of it.

Shocking 1iurder. Account were brought to
townth morning, (says the Mobile Register
of shocking catastrophe which has occdrred in
Monroe county. Walter English, Esq, a very
amiableand popular planter, fesidingat Englishs
landing in the lower part of heSseounty has
been murdered under such circumstances; as to
leave no doubt that it'was perpetrated'by cou.
pie of his, own runaway negroes. They had
been out some time, and as We 4learnsshe had
been warned of their violent purposes against
him, and usually went armed. On this occasion
he was unarmed, and was evidently waylaid on
his way from his house to his plantation. His
horse having returned without the rider, alarm
was felt for his safety, and on searching his body
was found dead at short distance from home,
with his head split with a, rhatchet, and other
wise beaten in The perpetrators have not been
taken.

OF all the administrations with which this ma
ton has been blessed or injured, john Tyler's is
incomparably the most weak and vicious. The
master spirit is Webster, and yet at times the
weak President, has broke like a stubborn and
qpetulent boy from his guardian His Virginia
associates, and some appeals to his former con-
duct, induced him to veto the Bank bill. Per-
haps growing jealousy of Clay, who dictated
like Nero the measures of the Extra Session,
had an influence. Whatever was the cause, we
were glad of the act, though the bill, had itpass-
ed, would have proved an utter failure, for the
stock could not have been taken up.
With coarse indecency, he has, without cause,
assaed the late Democratic administration on
repeated occasions. He fastened to sign that
corrupt act, the Distribution bill, which he has
since besought Congress to repeal. The nation,
under his administration, has been preciptated
into debt beyond all precedent and example, al
though promising great retrenchment and re-
form. ~
His appointments have been more corrupt and
vicious than those of any other President ex-
cepting Harrison !; both~ere in violation oftheir
solemn promises, as we'll as in utter disregard Of
common honesty and Of public faith. Both were
undoubtedly imposed upon by bad advisers. Too
feeble in intellect themselves to discriminate,
each became the instrument of bad men, and the
Mitchells and Doteys, and Trumbulls, and other
unprincipled demagogues controlled to great
extent, appointments
We see it stated that Tyler intends to reform
some of his Connecticut appointments. We'll
would it be for the country were he to doso, for
the appointments in this State have been notori-
ously bad as well as unjust. But it would be
well for this weak Executive to consider what
he is about, for we hear that his proposed APP
pointments are all of downward tending, cal
culated to make bad worse.
Tyler also signed the odious Bankrupt bill,
and was guilty of the indecency of urging its
passage through Congress by special message
"A clear-headed, single hearted, honest man,
would never have been guilty ofputting his sig
nature to such an act. But it was concocted ,by
Daniel Webster, whose note for twelve thousand
dollars was, with others, recently sodatth the rate
of about one cent onthe dollar. s.
In short, weakness andyanity arc thepre}oal.
inant CHARACTERISTICS of Mr.. Tylor. Without, any
distinctive principles or much ntclfsenfesit j:
not surprising that he has the confidence Sf Sc
few persons, or that bad men control him.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE"

The Sandusky Clarion gives the following
"horrbe attempt at MURDER" which lately oc.
CURED there
"Late on Wednesday evening, our citizens in
the neighborhood of the corner of Water and
Jackson streets, were startled from their slum-
bers, by the most fearful shreks for help, ac-
companied with appalling cries of Murder!-
Several persons hastily armed with bludgeons,
hurried instantly to an old out-bulding in the
vicinity, from whence the alarm proceeded
The shrieks increased fearfully, now accompa-
niedby the agonizng entreaty ,OH! COME QUICK!
HE'S EATING ME UP!m'' A light was at
length procured, and rushed to the scene of ac-
ton and, oh horror! The unfortunate victim
lay stretched upon the earth, with pallid coun-
tenance teeth chattering, and eye-balls starting
from their sockets. One side of his face was
covered-with slauer! His only companions
were found to be pair of black and white twin
calves, one of which was engaged in sucking his
ear, while the other was very quietly inspecting
the operation, probably wondering which Of the
twain was most badly sucked
Upon inquiry, it appeared that the individual
in question: loafer who had been hanging
about the place for some time, had gone into the
building in search of quarters for the night, and
had composed himself to rest, from which he was
awakened by the calf tugging at his ear, when
he commenced the uproar above noticed"

''You may probably learn ere this reaches you that
the energetic movements of the Legislature are likely to
elicit the full truth from Mr. &. Handy in reference to
alleged attempts by the Bank Of the United States and

day and enough ELECTED to prove that the pipe
laying and yarn spinning business have been largely
carried on under the fictitious Term of ''lumber.
The following extract ofa letter from Harrisburg,
will furnish idea ofthe nature and extent of the
corruption. 1t saysThe committee 10 investigate bank
bribery, &C. was in session tins afternoon with CLOSED
