" SCREW LOOSE" IN SOUTH CAROLYN,
MOVEMENT IN THAT STATE.


There is something wrong with III.
South Carolina Disnnionis,s, Nullifiers anJ
Abstraclionisrs. There isa "screw looss
and, in our belief, very big Screw +
There is evidently crisis approacbio,
in that little Commonwealth, and amor

must shock their vain glory and Ca,
con habiludes, by telling them i, is Of !.
sort Of national consequence whalevs,
yet is personally, politically and historical
ly curious -
The facts, as well as we can guess then
from the newspapers, are these; Juns G
GALLON is disposed TO back out TO "soDeS
from the prosecution Of the sedicious and
Disunion views Of that party which \,
hi msef reared-as in 1887. me- BAcKrn
OUT (AND ALWAYS WILL BACK oUr) from
friends who had stood by hIm-whene,e.
il may "enure " 10 his PRESIDENTIAL in.
teres,s-that monomania which he Ia,
cherished from the time he was Student
at College-under the influence Of the vc.
~ silly prediction Of DR.. Dwight, and lhs
suggestions of his own illimitable selfeon.

is about 10 throw, another some rsel IN pol.

South Carolina, in the vocATIvE! Ia

hemen,ly patronized, erPloded--he see,
the People Of the United States firm, 70

caring not fig for Texas: lie secs, as h
has seen many times before, that be Lad
taken the wrong tack 10 fulfil Dr.. DWIGHT,

REMARKABLE OR srRINIEc for, some such
phrasc) ANrcpoTE OF Nj. Calhoun 4
was this: that Mr.. Holmes had heard NJ
Calhoun say, that PERHAPS OF nh mfn 3.

reader familiar with history, will sgfts
that this was striking, both historically 10!
