THE TSsoLENr APosrArE.-The Augusta
Republic says: We see it stated in public print,
that Thomas Fl. Benton, by way Of exhibiting
hi. contempt for those true Southern men op.
pose his treachery, call them "the blacks.'
What do these Southern editors, Wing and
Democratic, who sympahise with Mr.. Benton
against Mr. Calhoun think Of that!
The contemp, is meant as much for the insti.
tuition of slavery as his opponents!"

Mr. Editor As your paper has long since

calm devotion 10 Southern rights, have con.
cIuded to spend leisure hour in making few
remarks upon The Signs of the Times. Well,
then, our political sky is any thing but clear
selfishness and egotsm seem to have taken
possession of too many Of our leading men !;
and we have also TOO many papers published in
the South. Each editor must, OF course, 60

soon lose the high position we have long main.

by those letters lately published in our Stale
papers, on the subject of Abolilonism, is we'll
calculated to place us in false position before
the world; and no doubt the North g. Co. be.
gin to think our Institutions will not bear
close investigation, and that we are afraid OF
free discussion. This is not the fact. The
Southern people are not afraid of the "crisis."
As Christians, with The Bible in our hands,

The Fourth of July was celebrated in Cheraw by
tho presentation Of bible, by W. L #. Prince Esq,
on behalf Of the Ladies' 10 tho Division of the Sons of
Temperance. Rev. A Gregg Chaplain received it on
the part Of the Division.
Their addresses were published in the Guzelc. and
not sure. that have ever seen remarks more
appropriate. and better expressed.
The following an extract from Mr.. P's, allusion 10
the Bible:
offer you sir no embroidered banner, o pa nted
bauble, no gaudy jewel, yet banner under whose
glorious folds all they who rally are invincble, and
free indeed. offer you the pilgrims staff. his rod,
his helmet, his shield, a mighty sceptre and
glitering sword, " hose power and whose edge
have erer triumphed, cutting the oppressor down,
humbling the naughty tyrant's pride, creating all
things new, and yet progressing onward conquer
ing and to conquer TO the end of ftime-the book of
inspiration fits subjects are eternal death-ts
author God, "a ray Of sacred light, he lamp which
mercy in the night Of time took down from The
everlasting throne to light the way of ife-a sea
beneath whose shining watert the richest jewels
sparkle-a mirror which reflects the image of the
heart and shows its deep dcpravity. then points the
way 10 God. No vain system Of philosophy in
which the guilty find short respite from the deep
stngs Of conscience is here inculcatcd, but ever
in the ear whispers "a still small ,roice'' which
never can deceive. 1t whispers to the troubled
conscience 'peace" while to the guilty soul in
lhunder.tones it speaks of death. teaches no.
thing that we should not learn. it conceals nothing
we should seek to know. ''Tis this dspells the
Iouds which shrood the soul in darkness and kin
cles in the heart the brilliant light of day. In
Life it may be your pole star ana your shield, or,
by perverson, it may be your curse. In Death
it sweetly soothcs and brightly lights our way, or
else it tortures by its stern rebuke Then heed its
gentle whisperngs, nor turn deaf ear 10 its thun-
dernis!

Their vows are sealed their mutual faith

two-both so young--stood up before the
man Of God and by that solemn ceremony
were made one flesh, how lorcibly did it
remind the spectator Of the beautifully
