Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1850-11-30

The communication of our CORE S.
pondcnt IN" did not reach us in
time for publication last week, and
as it contains some items of general
interest VIC insert it this week.
This week we commence the pt.
lication of series of articles under
the head of "Ihoughts for those who
own no slaves TO which the special
attention of our readers is invited
They are written by a citizen and a
native of the State, who, in common
with all true patriots, feels d deep
and abiding interest in the welfare
of our country, and may therefore be
depended Oh for correct and pure
sentiment on that subject.
In times like these, when we are
almost upon the very verge of rcvo
luton, it behoovcs every citizen to
read, reflect and understand thor
oughly the great questions of policy
and their probable effects upon us as
people, and TO assume a position in
harmony with the true interest ofour
country. We do not pretend TO
doubt in the slightest degree the pa
triotism of any of our citizens, but
there is a kind OF indifference or dis
position of neutrality existing in the
minds of some, based upon the sup
position, that as hey own none Of
that particular kind of property to be
affected by the conflicting interest Of
the North and South, they are not
really parties to the contest, and
have no evil consequences, disadvan-
tages, or Inconvenience to fear from
the abolition of slavery. But if we
can arrive at conclusions by reason
ing from cause to effect, we pray God
they may discover their mistake be-
fore ii is too late to correct the error,
for it is most lamcntablc truth, that
the poorer classes of society will,
from the nature of things, be much
more seriously affected by such ca
tastrophy than the rich. 1t has been
said that the most stupid of all ami
mails armed with a bag of gold can
make his way into the strongest for
tilted cities, and SO tits in society, the
man with money can live any where
on the face of the earth, and buy
friends and dependents around him
to pan,er to his every whin,. Should
the slaves be liberated amongst us
their necessities would come in direct
competition with the wants of those
of the white race who have to rent
land, and with those who earn a live
lihood by hiring their services to 9th
ers, such as mechanics and day la
borers; rents would rise, which would
benefit the wealthy, and labor would
become cheaper which would injure
the poor man. And thus many
poor but honest white man would be
reduced not only to poverty but to
actual starvation.
But the man who owns no slaves
tells us he is not prohibited from GO
ing to California, Utah, &C., and
why should he be dissatisfied with
the "omnibus" that carries him safely
to the new countries? Very true
you may go, and so can the slave
owner sell his slaves and 90 there
with his money, but the North is
now meditating scheme by which
that country is 10 be settled up with
the refuse, low, vagabond classes of

has been so unusually favorable for
picking, and the prices so alluring,
that most planters have gathered the
cotton from the boil nearly as fast as
ii opened, so that the fields do not
present that beautiful aspect which
one would expect to see in IA cotton
growing section, and the consequence
will be that scarcely any inferior or
stained cotton will be t''rown upon
the market. The severe frosts ,hat
have whitcncd the lowlands of the

of the Long Cane with their gentlest

Corn is considered scarce, notwith-

others the droughth and storms have
cut it short; purchases ofcorn are
made at from 70 cents to $i 90 per

that a great many samples of do

PORTRAIT OF A GOOD MAN.
FROM THE GERMAN.
Lord who's the happy man that may
To Thy blest Courts repair
Not stranger-like to visit them
But to nhabit there
'Tis he whose every thought and deed,
By rules Of virtue moves
Whose generous tongue disdains TO speak
The thing his heart disproves;
Who never did SANDER forge
His neighbours fame to wound;
Nor hearken to a false report
BY malice whispered round;
Who vice, in all its pomp and power,
Can treat with just neglect;
And piety, though clothed in rags,
Religiously respect;
Who to his plighted vows and trust
Has ever firmly stood
And though he promise to his loss,
He makes his promise good;
Whose soul, in usury, disdains
His treasure to employ;
Whom no reward can ever bride
The guiltless to destroy;
The man, who by this steady course,
Has happiness insured,
When earth's foundations shake, shall stand
By Providence secured.
