A JUST TRlRUTE

The article particularly commended, ii
the su1Joined compliment 10 the .Sout1ter,
RevaeD, is, we presume, by the Hon. AL
exander ID. Everett, the; author of the
mastery argument on the same sub.
ject in the Democratic ,Revieto. A Sou.
thern in heart and association, and a fel.
low-citizenand broiherof every intellectual
and liberal spirit in The world, as heis, il is
the dictate of sound patriotic policy 10
enlist and adopt him as Carolinian. Ii
would be indeed arich acquisition to have
him accept the FIRST Office in one or other
ofour literary Institutions at Columbia or
Charleston. Let those entrusted with
their guardianship take counsel on the
suggestion-canit notbe done? Our sons,
and our social circle will thank them for il.

much to amuse and instruct from lis pages.
Our attention was more Immediately at
tracted to the article entitled the nAnnex.
alton Of Texas" 1t isa clear and lucid
exposition Of that question, and should be
read by every man in the nation North
and South. We wish it had made its

the present contest was decided. Ii is
paper Of lasting importance, and we shall
make room for it in our columns hereafter,
as Texas is destined either to be Joined to
This Union. or else draw from US our great
ness as nation. In reading that article.
we were forcibIy struck with the following
which shows identity of feeling
aud principle with the federal party Of
1871, 'l2 and '13,and that OF 1914. The
reviewer is referring 10 the purchase of
Louisiana. As our democratic fathers
we're triumphant in tha, contest, is it too
much 10 expect from their sons that they
will trump now, in crushing the federal
,ydra-Old Dominion.
