There has boen no meeting called in Kershav
yet, Messrs. Representatives.
A rumor became current in town yesterday, that
Tclegraphic dispatches reported the House ofRep-
resentatives as breaking up.in row on last Sat.
urday night, members fighting, &C. &c. All, so
far as we can learn, however, is merely rumor
Mr.. Hudson, who made us all believe we were
in the Emerald Isle on last Saturday night, wilre-
new his very entertaining performances OIL to
night. The Irish Emsrant's Lament. is worth
half dozen admission fees a..

SIeHs OF THE TIxEs.-Speasing ouf-With
pleasure We record the fact, that there are two
journals, at least in South Carolina, beside tho
Herald, which 60 for revolution in preference to
the preservation of the Union under present cir.
umstances.-FairfeH Herald
The Telegraph, We suppose, Mr.. Herald, is one,.
from your extract. Which Is the other! Do you
mean the Journal! If not, there are more than
two. Are not all the papers in the State of the
the word that faith. rs taugh, their babes to lisp
once the centre around which all that was great or
magnificent in the hope of the, future encirced,
is n,w sword to assault, instead of shield to
protect us. What is the Union! We ask not
what it was, but what it is We should laugh at
our fathers for revolutionizng for the simple as-
sressons of the English on their rights. Why it
was all ideality compared to the aggressions ofthe
North upon the South. And when the long cata.
logne ofunheard of and almost sacrilegious wrongs
i. hurled upon us, and we talk of resenting, it is
said, why will you dissolve the Union You must
cling to the Union When the constitution is dis
regarded, when the South is insulted, when the
original compact that bound us is broken, when
our rights in acquired territory are destroyed when
our slaves are stolen, and their master in search Of
them murdered, when our money, made from tire
labor of these same slaves, is taken to support the
North when we arc branded with epthets too
mean for Pandemoniums crew, and we talk Of
resenting, We are met by the cry, Be patient-ssrs
he glorious Union--or, you are etraitors-disunion-
ISIS Washington, our own beloved Washington,
was slaveholder--died amongst us, and amid the
tears of his own slaves. When oppression came,
but shadow to the substance Of the oppression
ofto-day, he resented He was called traitor
too, by the British; and could he rise to-day from
where he calmly sleeps, needless Of the storm Of
fanaticism that RACES over him, he would soon be
tsrmed traitor and disunionst by the North: for
he would now, as then, stick to the Constitution,
with the watchword Equality or Independence"
We have no need to fear the consequences of
disunion. With all The elements of prosperity and
eight millions of people, We have nothing TO- fear.
No power on earth can conquer us-none dare in
wade. Climate, soil, productions, pursuits, insti.,
tutions ani location, tell us that no people under
heaven have less to fear or more to gain. As a
