The undersigned, Her Britannia Majesty's
Consul, for the States Of North and South

This opinion, your Excelency will, the I'm.

on the supreme power of treaties, as ruled by
all writers on international law, and briefly,

"Elements of international Law" who states

WELL DONE. GREENYILLEI |

An enormous waggon-load of Brooms
passed through our village, the first Of this
week, from lnanufacto:y near Grccnvile
c. Fl. Upon seeing this broom-omnibus
drawn up in our plaza, we were off TO our
office to offer an off hand congratulations to our
house-keepers upon the present prospect of
clean sweep" but happening to look back,
we perceived that the wagon was OF a.so.-
Upon inquiry, we discovered that the entire
load, (S5OO WORTHY was engaged to some
dealer in the city of Augusta. Hearing this
state of the case, one of our waggish rillagios
perpetrated the following:
Sister Georgia, Carolina
Sends you grceling-and some brooms,
And she hopes that you will find
Full supply for all your rooms.
Sweep your chambers morns and evcns-
Sweep with Carolina brooms-
And from your councils sweep out Stevens

NEWBERRY AND LAURENs ERECT,

WE observe with delight, that the Candi-
dates for the Convention in these two dis
tricts, have, with scarcely an exception, de-
clared for separate State Action. This is
what we expected from those spirited COM
munitics. 1t is, indeed, what we expected
from every part of the State. We are sorry
to say that this expectation has not been rcali-
scd to the full In several districts, there
are indications of dceension of feeling
But rs far as we can ascertain, this tempori-
sing tone, even there, will be rebukcd at the
ballot-box. In a day or two, it will be known,
into whose hands, are committed the destinies
of our people. We have no fears as to the
result, being convinced that an overwhelming
majority of the Convention will stand i'm
movable, upon the ground which the State
has already distinctly taken.
