SOUTH CARoLINA PoLlTICs.

Another democratic Taylor meeting" has lately
been holden in Charleston at which resolutions strongly
euogistic Of Gen. Taylor the likely to Sc
to the South their right to hold slave property in
the new territory, were passed. The Charleston
News speaks oft as Charge and enthusiastic meeting

crowded, and numbers being compelled to go away for

again 10 extend his "proound gratitude" and "heat-
felt thanks" the Savocrats of South Carolina as this
meeting held Charleston Neck, different quar-
ofine city from that where the other Demonstration
was held The Charleston News says ofthe late meet

ded strength. Recognizing the vital principle,
that which is essential to our Union, and without
which it cannot exist, that 6 Southern men m ust
feel stronger affinity to each other, than to the
citizens of the non-saveholding States, no matter
to which party they may belong" These reso-

those who denounce US as Wings, because we
support Gen. Taylor, denounce Mr. Calhoun, who

SOUTH WESTERN TRAGEDIES.

Many months have elapsed since We gave our
readers detailed account OF tragedy which
occurred IN Mississippi, in which Washington
and James Bilboes were killed A man named
Brown, and his son-in law, Wages, were con-
cerned in it. Wages for time disappeared. A
few months back, Wages reappeared in the coun-
ty, and, with man named McGrdth, got into a
difficulty with young Harvey, upon whom Wa
ges pretended 10 have some claim Harvey shot
them both, as has been reported in the Mobile
papers, copied by us. Since then the tragedy
has deepened in atrocity, and five more lives
have been taken.
1t appears that the father and mother of the
Wages shot by Harvey, lived in Alabama, close
to the line OF Perry county, Miss, where they
harbored the gang OF outlaws with whom their son
and McGrath were associated. They swore ven
genance upon Harvey, and hired man named
Lee to kill him, giving him thousand dollars
for the job. Lee took with him party of three
or tour, and proceeded to earn his money!
Young Harvey had been cautioned not to ex-
pose himself, and he had removed from the
house or cabin upon his farm to his fathers but
was in the habit OF visiting his farm once or twice
daily, to look after it This Lee and his party
found out by providing in the vicinity, and took
advantage OF Harvey's absence TO enter his cab
in. They secured themselves therein, cut loop
holes from which to watch mis- coming, and, arm
ed with guns, patiently awaited his arrival
Harvey discovered the preparations made for
his murder. Joined by a younger brother, he
raised party of eight or ten men, and all pro-
ceeded to his cabin. The miscreants inside were
taken by surprise, but secured the entrance to
the cabin. Harvey very reckessly led to at
tack them. He rushed upon the door and burst
it in, but they we're prepared, and Lee shot him
directly through the shoulder and breast, killing
him. His younger brother Immediately shot Lee
down, and as the party inside rushed out to es-
cape, he took flying shot at them, aud killed
another man named George Jourdsn.
Upon receiving news of his sons death, old
Harvey determined upon exterm:nating the nu-
ceus of the gang-old Wages and his wife. A
party volunteered to follow him, and proceeded
across the line of Alabama to the residence OF
Wages. They found the old folks at home,
seized them, and with ropes taken with them for
the purpose, hung them by the neck to the raft
ers of the house. Waiting an hour or so, till
their victims were dead, they then left and re-
turned into Alabama.
1t is due to the Harvey family to say that they
have long been known honest, respectable
people. They were peaceable even to fault,
until reused by an attack upon one OF their num-
Der, and his subsequent murder 1t is estimated
that twelve or fifteen lives have now been taken
in the tragedies in which the Wages family had
been mixed up, directly or indirectly, and our
informant assures US that we must not expect
that the lives of the old folks will go unreveng-
ed.-.NetO Orleans PicaytIne.

MARTIN VAN BUREN,.

One of the best accounts of the Buffalo Con-
vention is furnished by the the Northampton
Courier, in letter from Delegate david Lee
Child, Esp Mr. Child is well known as gen.
tleman of distinguished ability, and an old and
consistent opponent of slavery. In that letter he
says:
Mr. Van Buren, was my last choice, yet did
cordially concur in the acclamatIon which sent
forth his name to be waited over lake mountain
and river, as that of the Free Soil Candidate for
President OF the United States AS would have
nothing more to do with the Wings and their can
didates because they have sunk their principles,
and because he, so far we know, never had
them, SO do unite with the Democrats and their
most experienced leader, because they have risen
TO my principles, and because he has ALWAYS had
what is most vital and a-embracing OF those
principles. On the subject of aggression either
by fraud or force for the extension OF slavery or
of extension in any case, Mr. Van Buren, stands
as well any man in America. He was with
Kent and Jay, the advocate of the rights of our
prosecuted colored brethren in the New York
Convention Of 1922. By these things and more
especially The first, he won the applause of the
old man eloquent while he lived. In 1913 Mr.
Adams told me that Mr. Van Buren, by his fdeh-
ty to freedom, had averted during bis administra-
ton the greatest danger that had threatened 1t
since the formation of the Government. know,
said Mr. Adams that he is opposed upon principle
TO the annexation of Texas This was some
months before Mr. Van Buren, wrote his well
known letter, for which he was ruthessly sacri.
feed by the Slave Power at Baltimore if indeed
his Eimmolaton TO the bloody and obscene deity
OF Southern worship had not been long determin-
ed on.

To BOYS AND GIRLS Never tell a whole lie,
or halt lie, or any part of a lie. Many boys,
who know well enough what a sneaking, dirty
thing it is to lie, will yet twist the TRUTH or de-
ceive little bit. This is about as bad, and good
deal more cowardly, than plump Ialsehocd II
boy does something wrong, either through g-
norance, carelessness or accident, and then tells
one half truth and one half lie about it. he might
almost as well have told the. untruth that he did
not do it at all. Now see how the spirited, man.
ly, true hearted, clear-tongued boy will do after
an error; he resolutely determines to acknow-
ledge it without being afraid of any body's anger
to tell it just as it was. never in my life
knew any one to be injured by telling the truth
in this way; but have seen many boy, and
man too, who was looked upon with contempt and
thought poorly of,because he would tell sneaking
lies, or halt lies, or quarter lies The worst OF
untruhs-those which are deliberately made up
stories about people-or little stories magnified
into big ones-prove the teller of them to be a
most worthless, impure, and mean person. The
liar is indeed despicable both to God and good
men. On the other hand, nothing is more beau
tiful than strictly truth-telling young person
one who never varies from the truth-who is
open, candid, and above deceit. To become so,
a boy should strive hard-determine to become
So land he will become so. Besides, tits so easy
always to speak the truth, and so very hard to
arrange even plausible falsehood, which even
then will in all probability be found out nineteen
times out of twenty. Q st@

TURE. machine has been recently put in
operation by the British and Foreign Nail Com
Pany. London, which is highly spoken of by the
English journals. The nails are said to be ofthe
first class description, possessing all the qualities
OF the finest hammered nails, though produced at
an expense which will enable them TO be sold
at lower price than is paid for the most common
cutnals. 1t seems that the whole nail, head,
body, and point, is made at the same time, and
simply by one operation Of the machine. The
estimates which are apparently prepared with
great care, and founded upon the present prices
