persisted in irs own congealng latitude. The

AT the North, were eagerly adopted by The re-.

awake from our s,uror to realize that VIC have
been duprd and deceived.
In confirmation of this, VIC will only allude
10 the last Presidential election. ltth" people

ifIhry had prnperly estimated the conSrqnen.

question which, Of all others, was important to
them! Or, ifcvcn entertaining confidence IN
Gen. Taylor as Southern man. would they
have elevated with him hlllard Fillmore

votes. was known to be an enemy To the South
now occupies position by which, in all proba.

Ifthr Senate he equally divided, who doubts
bu, his vote will he given in consonance with
his feelings and prejndiccs?
We are no, blinded by party prejudice, and
although we believe in the cardinal principles
avowcd and sustained by the Democratic par

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

The Grand Division Of this State held its GUAR
tcrly meeting in Sumterrille, commencing on
Thursday evening 9th instant, and adjourned on
Friday night following, alter "cry interesting,
and we hope, profitable session. The G w. ~
DIR. .MenlculaIl, of Charleston, was prevented from
Attending. The G.. w. A., Col. Gr>lam, OF Pick
ems, presided On F;iI y morning, procession
was formed, and marched to the Methodist Church.
where the audience was ably and cloqnently ad-
dressed by Capt. +. Sumter, Col. J. B kerShaw,
and Col. Grisham. We have reason to believe that
tho efforts of these gentlemen will tell for time to
come 70 the interest and advantage of the cause
which they so powerfully advocated. Temperance
has done much for the District Of Sumter, as was
demonstrated on this occasion. The town of Sum-
,crvIlc is rapidly improving, and it is but reason
able 10 .unpose that Temperance has contributed
larrcIy to this state of improvement. We might
acknowledge Sumter as the banner District ol
Tenpcrancc, If Iancasicr was not in the way but
we may say il it is not The. .frs is in the rery first
hur. The next session OF the Grand Division will
bc held in Camden, ON the fourth Thursday III
April, commencing at 10 o'clock, 4. IN. The pro-
ceednus of the Grand Division will appear in the
Temperance Advocate, the able "rgap Of the cause
in South Carolina, and will, We doubt not, prove
interesting to the many friends OF temperance who
were not present TO enjoy the meeting.

GENTLEMEN 81 entirely sympahize with
the spirit Of the eatract from the Augusta Con.
stiluliona|ist in your paper of Monday morning.
During the past year, my attention was special
ly directed to the various series OF text books
used in our literary institutions, for thr purpose
of selecting a series for one of our female Sc.
minaries. | was perfectly amazed TO find how
insidio,lsly doctrines inimica TO our institutions
were incorporated in the books issued from The
Northern press. applied ioa book merchant
10 know if we could not have erpnrgatcd rd'
tons ufhooks otherwise valuable. He answered
that the Southern demand for any one class ot
books WAS not sufficient to induce any publish!
er 10 issue such editions. This arises trom thu.
fact that there is no uniformity in the class
books of our schons-each teacher exercising
his own private Judgment and fancy in muki"S
his selection.
TO remedy this evil, | propose that all the
teachers in this Stale, who approve OF the oh.
Ipcl, assemble in Convention, in The town OF
Columbia, on the first Monday Of July next,
for the purpose Of making proper selection OF
text books, aud ul consulting upon educational
subjects generally. We shall thus be able to
obtain hooks purycd Of aboliti"nisn', and will
secure the use Of The best books in all our
schools, which will tend 10 elevate the standard
of education; and, as uniformity will also bs
obtained, a considerable item Of expense 10 pa
rents, in the frequent and sometimes necessary
change ofieM hooks will DE avoided.
suggest that The editors who approve oi the
measure: publish the call in several numbers Of
their papers; and lha, all teachers who desire
to respond To the call, send in their names To
the editors of The South Caro'inian, post pail,
l!at list may be published in due time.
