LAURIE TODD.

We have been handed communication from
Mr.. Grant Thorburn, the first of series Of let
tiers entitled "Men and Manners of South Carroll
na.-To the people Of New York" We have de-
clined publishing it, for several reasons Not only
that it contains several things to Which we could
not subscribe, but because we consider it none of
our business to enlghten the North on this ques-
ton. We have no great anxiety whether they
are enlightened at all: certainly not enough to
give the use of our columns TO it, which might be
so much better engaged in interesting our own
subscribers. He calls upon the Northern men to
come South and see the institution of slavery for
themselves that the report prevalent there that
Northern men, when they come South are watch
ed, is untrue" Here we beg leave to differ: they
are watched; and the fault is, they are not watch
ed close enough. We arc quite able enough to
take care OF our own institutions, without super
visors from the North. What man would not re-.
sist it, as an insult, were his neighbor to make it
his business to call upon him for all account Of his
family affairs, to see whether or not he was con-
ducting them rightly! Besides, we think that Mr..
r. has made out the condition of our negroes a
little too good. They are now the happiest beings
on earth, and there is no necessity for making
them out any better than they really are. 1t is
with all Difference to Mr. Thorburn that we make
these remarks. fhc will furnish us with any OF
his interesting "reminiscences, &C., we will willing
ly publish them.

to break lance with him; but Mr.. Webster, tho
having nmeasurably the advantage over his an
tagonist, magnanimously forbore; merely making
few passes at him, to convince him that he could
lead him off prisoner, if the southern Cid el cam
peador should insist upon the combat"
Without wishing to deract an iota from the de-
served reputation ofthc great Northern statesman,
we would have this "X"-tra gentleman to know
that Mr. Calhoun does not attempt to do any thing
without generally succeeding. The word attempt

Jackson, in one particular at least does what he

On Monday evening the lth inst, the Kershaw
Section Cadets of Temperance celebrated the an
niversary of said Section. At an early hour the
Baptist Church was crowded to overfowing. Soon
the Cadets, With their tasty Regala, came in, fol-
lowed BY the older Boys" the Sons. An appro-
pirate prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr.. Lee,-a
few explanatory remarks by w. Thurlow CASTOR,
Esq, Worthy Patron-and then followed address
es by Masters McDowaIl, Kennedy. Lee, Burr, En-
mons Johnson and Depass. Of these we shall
only say that all of their Parents who were pres
ent, had reason to be proud Of their Boys-and
those who were absent, should be sorry they were
not there. After these, Mr.. Lee, the Worthy Dep
uty, addressed the audience. Master Walker, of
Columbia, contributed much to the interest Of the
meeting by. his fine performance on the Melodeon,
while the Glee Club made us wonder what kind of
music there was above, when We had such on
Earth. We wish the Cadets success in getting ev-
cry youth in Camden into their order Methinks
the parent who sends his son to join the Cadets
will never weep to see his manhood years devoted
to dissipation and crime.
