a Tribute to South Carokina.-The fol.
lowing beautiful passage occurs in the
sPeechof MIR. Levin, Representative iu
Congress from The city OF Philadelphia.
Mr. Levin is native of South Carolina,
and like every one born within her Dor.
ders. is proud Of the State Of his nativity.
and ever ready to award to her the just
tribute of a worthy son. The debate oc-
Cured on The question Of referring the
resolutions. of enquiry as 10 the presen,
condition, end proposed amendments Of
the naturalization laws, 10 a select COM
mittee.-South Caroliniaa.
Mr.. Levin said that in the heat and
hurry of debate yesterday, he had omitted
10 notice. a remark Of The gentleman from
Pennsylvania on his right, (Mr Broad
head who seemed 10 have mistaken q
vehemence Of manner for menace. MIR.
L. said he had been born in the sunny
South he was South Carolinan, be
came from that glorious little State, whose
citizens were as much distinguished by
magnaninily Of heart as by a constilu-
tional yehemenee of manner. This trait
has heeD manifested yesterday by The gen
lleman from Alabama, EMr. Yancey,]
gentleman Whu was accustomed to fling
abroad his Intellectual treasures, hanging
them like jewels OIL every thing he touch
ed, aud sowing The earth with orient pearl.
Mr.. L..cnuld lot say the same Of his col
league: his niaiiner had been cold aud
lrigid as the iceberss Of The Northern sea,
while his mind seemed to be ON one side
of the question, bis rrasons had been all
on the other. Mr.. L. was 20 political
gladiator; lie WAS acluaIsd in his public
course 10y no feeling but love for his coun.
Try; he sought no reyenses::-he INDUCED
no hatred 10 any !; his breast was slran-
ger TO the just VI Vengeance but the
ruth MUS, aud should be defended: ye,
he would defend i, by no wee6ops such
as were used by The pirate or The bravo.
The case Of J.. B. Cough : Mr.. Cough,
Inc Temperance lecturer, whose late. fall
has occasloned SO much talk among bolh
the friends aud enetnIes ii, temperance.
aud wiipse yindica,ion Of hlI1self, left him
10 he tt.Sk.d upon less as a criminal thap
as o vIcrim to The snares Of designing vi
Iians, has been again attacked " some of
the New York papers The Police Ga
zelle charges him with frequent indulgen
ces in liquor and lewd company, aud
gives line names OF respectable citizens of
New York, .ConneclicuI, aud Massachu-
sells, as lis authority.
We always thought, That the majority
OF temperance men had taken wrong
yiew Of Mr.. Coughs case. They seemed
by the warmness Of their deleucc, to sup.
pose that the fall Of this man was idenli.
cal with the fall Of lhe cause. II was no
such thing. 1t only proved that ,iIe pledge
is mol onlnipotentin its power of preserving
from evil. There IL nothing Of human
fabric that is. Even religion divine in its
origin aud godlike in its object aud its
principles, has more than once been vic.
lated iu the errors Of It's ministers. But
religion is nevertheless good thing. And
so it is with temperance. II Mr.. Cough
has fallen from the path of honor and
reclilude, (aud we confess we always
thought his version Of The story was an
improbable one,) il only proves that TEN.
perance men are not invulnerab ble-that
The Pledge is but shield which may be
pierced by the Strong arm of vice, aud lei
ihe example Of this unhappy man serve,
as fatal warning TO all, that the virtue
of temperance, like fortress in the midst
of the enemy's country, can be preserved
only by unremilling vigilance. Let the
friends of Temperance then cease to feel
any anxiety for The future course OF
