it would have read little better IN history, if it had
not been preceded by so much busteringan Dragging
And it little amusing to see the effect it had
upon our eastern Democracy. The man who did not
90 for 81 deg. 40 min, was Federast, Traitor ;
and some Jealous that they even got up TO
81 40, Upon them the treaty came like thunder
clap, and they had to the ste0m so suddenly
that it came nigh producing fatal collapse in the
party.
But sir, the President is not entirely warlike in
his nature as his conduct to Mexico would indicates he
has other and milder qualities; he really has none
of that ferocious spirit characterized by the poet
''That stern joy which warriors feel,
In foomen worthy of their steel"
It's colder country at 81 deg. 40 min. Now, if
right in the position have taken here, the question is
what is the duty of the American Senate? What are
they to do? 70 go onand vote these ten regimets?-

War is to be made, sir not only upon Mexico, but
on the free aborerS of the country and the first on
saught is to be made in the shape OF tax on tea and
coffee; and it is executive patronage which he thinks
will enable him to effect it. and the President has prob
ably come to the conclusion taught by the experience
of the past, that with the patronage of ten regiments
at his command, "some things may be done well as
Others"
| think the Senator from Kentucky, with his great
acumen, if he looks through his glasses, may discover
why the President prefers regulars.
Well, why cannot Senators who think with me, that
the war is wrong, radically wrong come out and de-
clare soby their votes? Why sit here denouncng the
President and then be guilty of the inconsistency

From the ~. @. Picaytirsc, Feb. 81.
LATE FROM TEXAS.

There is at present very large party ofthe
Prairie Indians assembled on the head waters
Of the Brazos, consisting of all the upper bands
Of Camanches, Kioways Yanl-pa-rith -kas,
Mus -ka-le:rcs, &c. They are now ;organi-
zing for campaign in the northern provinces
of Mexico, Chihuahua, Go. They propose to
throw several thousand warriors into that
country. Maj. Neighbors could hear nothing
ofthe difficulties between the Camanches and
Delawares, recently mentioned by some of
the papers in other parts Of the State. All the
Indian tribes were perfectly quiet-no diff
culties existing either amongst themselves or
hostile demonstrations against the whites.
Our rangers are now very active and efficient,
and there is no probability Of any disturbaHra,
unless it is created by some unauthpfized
movement of our own citizens. &

Or, British Philanthropy illustrated, A
Tale of Gaudcloupe inils3s, translated from
the French of Frederick Soule, by lady Of
Charleston,
The translatress has been pleased to hand
us copy Of this work We lave read it
with attention and are highly pleased with it.
The plot is sufficient and the language easily
flowing. The volume is of convenient size,
and the execution neat It is southern
work and printed in Charleston by Burgess
g. James. But the chief merit Of the work
is that it unfolds in the attractive frm of
tale tho true policy and aim of the English in
regard to slavery and their. total want Of prin.
cple on this matter, which have been ably
exposed by some southern statesman. On
this account principally we recommend the
book to all who are able to procure q copy.
They will find the views therein worthy of
their attention as southerners. The book
is for sale in Sumterville at the store of
Messrs. A. WHITE. 81 Co.

LITERARY MESSENGER,

lie February No. OF this southern Pc
riodcal has reached us during the past
week. Its readers always find it of inter-
est. For many years it has been sustain
ed and is now in its fourteenth volume.
While the Commercial Review at one ex-
tremity ofthe south extends our useful
knowledge, the Messenger at the other
adorns our literature and adds to our in
formation: Both are ready champions Of
the south. We wish them continuance
and increase Of their former success.

The Camden Branch rail road is now
over the Wateree river and passage for
business is said to be certain. 1t is ex.
pcctcd that the road will be completed TO
the Manchester depot by the first ofMarch

of things both actual and expected calls
public attentionsto the consideration that
it is time that there should be forthwith
established daily mail communication
by means Of q passenger stage running
between Sumterville and 1.-The Camden
Branch road. The state of our business
relations with Charleston is Of sufficient
Importance to require the use and enjoy
ment Of every available facility for their
conduct; and, were this not so, the conve-
nience ofthe travelling public should be
consulted and Immediately forwarded on
every occasion and by every opportunity,
The least that Gun now be done is to have
adaily passenger stage running to the
Cnnden Branch as soonaas possible, that
we may have daily mail from Charles.

will convey freight to and from the

staging will then exist. The same ad-
yantages should then be enjoyed by pas
sengers and the mail as will be by goods
and wagons. Wo thus endcayor to draw
public attention to the matter, that proper
steps for the accomplishment Of these OBJ.
jecta may be taken; and that they may be
taken In time. The public mind occas,
