Thera can be no doubt that, after publishing such
toasts as these, and reading the Southern Address
instead ofthe Declaration of Independence Orange
burg will b greatly distinguished. The Baltimore
American Witty says: "The public generally may
not believe it, but abe is in earnest; more heroic than
the fly in the fable she is determined to press with
her whole weight upon the horn of the OK; she is
resolved upon making herself felt" And the Amer
ican like faithful chroncler of events, sedul GUS to
give the latest advicas from all the theatres of ex
element, AYERS that Rome may be falling before
the artillery of France but Orangeburg at the last
accounts, stood firm"
The Legislature of Virginia, now engaged in
amending the Constitution OF that State, has di-
rected that any county may, by vote OF the peo-

changes.
The Legislature OF Virginia has no more right to
amend the Constitution of the State than has the
Legislature of Kentucky, where a convention for
that purpose is about to be elected Our Legislature
is only revising and modifying the statutes.

quotations remuneratve and those farmers will doubt
less fare best who may be the earliest in getting their
wheat 10 market When we take into consideration how
ever three facts which known exist we should feel
safe in predicting that the farmers almost certain orr
azug fair prices for wheat throughout the season. The
facts above alluded to, these The stock of flour ON
hand is quite small the price advancing, both IN this
country and England; and the last accounts from Rio de
Jane represent that the stock there first hands is much
smaller than usual
