The Sumter banner. [volume] (Sumterville, S.C.) 1846-1855, 1850-12-18

Whites of the North would doom oil our
Slaves, ut present contentcd and happy,
while they arc the sources of happiness and
prosperity to tile whole South.
The Fugitive Law, the greatest boon ever
conferred upontlie Slave, Northern hatred
to tho Negro will repeal. With falsehood
in their hearts, they enacted it. They prof.
fered It the South as hush money-and,
now, that the South has permitted itself to
be gagged, they win rob 1t again Of the very
bride.

Mr.. EDiToR You will please give the fol-
lowing wonders on insertion in your paper and
A MAnvELLER.
We wonder il our brethren north of Mason
g. Dixon's line found out tho sin Of slavery,
before they discovered Its unproftableness!
Wonder, If we were to carry out their sugges-
lions about emancipation &c, where we could
find purchasers for our slaves, US they did in
us
we wonder what Northern men mean, when
VAC thiSutSh uisuiiioiIlstS Win Ig IGCuuIbo
TO armsl' Wonder il The action Of their vol
unteers, on several Of the battle fields Of Mexico,
is conformable with their ideas of"having re-
course to arms!' II 30, we wonder what they
would call having recourse to legs?
Now VIC dont deny that the Yankee Volun-
tecrs received mnny "honornble scars in the
Mexican war; but we do wonder, why they nre
so excessively modest, NJ to prefer wearing them
on tho back, rather than upon some more con.
spicuous part Of the "human frame divine I"
We wonder-whilc in this conncction-if
Brother JoInntlan's reputation for quickncss
and activity Of understanding were not acquired
on some battle field !
We wonder If the genius of our allies docs not
lie more in the spindle, than the spord-morc in
making cloth, than rar!
We wonder IL the 'highcr law" has n sre-
cial clause in favor Of factories, If not, W.
wonder If we cannot appeal toit for q modifca-
ton Of the tariff!
We wonder why the 'frec and enlightened
citizens" of Yankeedom entertain 30 great an
aversion to South Carolina! Wonder if It il
because there nr no associations Of puritnnic
persecution connected with her history! Be-
cause she boasts no Lowell, no living tomb, in
which to immune her fnir daughters! Because
her brcezes are not ~freighted with odon from
the gardens Of Wcatherficld Or because the
''aromn Of cod fisheries" does not ride upon her
gnlcsl Wonder il il il because her soil is 30
uncongeninl as not to admit Of thr cultivation Of
the Nutmeg Tree! Because her savory hams nre
less distinguished by those qualities that enter in
o., Oh, 49,. r. 49,. -
their IDEAS of economy 7! Wonder il i, il because
EMOTIONS" nrc nj such n discount will, her, and
their vendors 20 apt 10 become consumers OF her
native commolitics-,ha is 10 say the products
of her pines and poultry!
We wonder when Harry Of the West" will
carry into execution his threat of quilting domn
South Carolina I Wonder if tho staple of Ken
tucky-ihat which Is so we'll adapted to forming
the connecting link between a tn,iior and o
swinging limb-hen,p Il so scarce al home, that
he must ncesis wend his way hithrr, in order to
falfl his tlsstinY and % receive tue rrysarl OF MIA
muni,y to be put asSwn. % bs degraded lower,
than that which Is already under cIdyl
We have urdcrstood, that Col. BrsaHL Of I'LL.
n"is. nh exceedingly bcllico<c freud of the I'm.
ION in onler to quir, the apprelensions OF tho
tiinid, promised, on a certain OCCASION, to ..oyer-
run the dis,nionisIs. Now we wonderland wa
have good reason-ift the Colonel did not mcn.

II Is has been remarked rs n strange fac,, that
the little Senator from Mississippi, when he male
his.!ast speech in Congress was pretty much chow
come you ro;' we do moi wonder, Mr. Editor,
that n foot should be- cornei.
n. B.-We wonder il some one wont In kind
enough TO add n few wonders To our lis, and
consign them to the keeping of Barnum, that
great patron of wonders, il he should chance to
wonder along this way! A. NJ.
