To the Citizens Of Litchnsld.

TIE approaching Centennial imposesup-
IN you important duties: and that these
duties may be effectively performed, the
Town Committee beg leave to make to you
some suggestions.
And /, At a meeting held on the 9Th
inst, of the Central Committee. in connec-
tiou with the Committees o. the several
Towns, Gan account of which will be pub
lished in the newspapers,l it was resolved
TO raise $500 to defray certain public ex>
penses, ito witty Band of Music, erection
of Sc ais, and tents, and tables, printing &C.
Three hundred dollars of this expense is
allotted TO be raised in the Town of LitCh-
field, and will, we doubt not, be readily ana
cheerfully subscribed.
II. 1t is expected Ofevery citizen of the
Town. that he will, at his own house, ON
he days Of the occasion, exercise a mcst
liber al hospitality. 1st, By entertaining
his own family friends, emigrants from this
town ed, By inviting his friends and ac-
quainta noes from other parts of the Coun-
~. And this hospitality is invoked in favor
not only of man and won ankind. out stable
and barn room must be provided for horses
and carriages of our friends.
III II is expected of the Ladies, that
very ample provisi ion wilt be made in each
house to accommodate for single light
all of their own sex who may be here on
the occasion: and little exertion on The
part of each house holder, will secure this
very important object. 1t is very easy to
pu' up in every room of the house, several
beds. All hc cd bedsleads must be set
up, and may easily be furnished for nigh,
with clean straw beds. Mr.. Buckley is
ready to set up at small expense, in every
house, such extra bedSleads as may be re-
CURED.
A communicable" IN the last weeks Enqui-
rer Implies doubt. whether this duty will be
thoroughly met. We trust. for the credit OF
our hospitabe T WI lha, this doubt is holly
groundless. A failure here would involve US
in overwhelming disgrace The Celebration
is in honor of the County, which bears our
name, and Of which his is the honored Capi-
tai, famed in the past. for lolent, worth, gems
crosby and hospitality Let us not sho~, our
selves unworthy Of our past history
1t Is expected that each town will provide
mainly its own eatables; but it is presumed

week a party from Bridgeton. went on
an excursion to the Break water for the
purpose of catching black6sh. Whileen-
gagged in this sport they caught large
female shark, measuring nine feet four
inches in length. and supposed TO weigh
near 400 lbs. Upon arriving at the

THE CELEBRATION.

Below we give the proceedings of the
meeting of the several Committees, held
in this village on Friday last. for the purpose
of making arrangements for the proposed
centennial celebration, to. be holden on the
18th and l4th inst. These arrangements
are appropriate and we'll conceived, and we
have no doubt will give general satisfaction.
The business pre- paratory to the interesting
OCCASION, is committed to good hands-and

under such circumstances, could wipe out the
deep stain OF bad faith which all her previous
course in relation to this matter, has stamped
on the annals of. Boston. But four cases before
ever had come up, and in all the ends of justice
had been defeated, the law, trampled on and de-
fled, by the higher mob-law reigning paramount
and supreme.
The people Of the South may be duped and
deluded by specious suggestions and falsehopes,
for time-but the masses of that population
are neither idiots nor dastards: and such mon
strous drafts, on their credulity and ignorance
as the compromisers have ventured recently to
draw, must finally be protested and dishonored
by all who love truth, consistency, honor, and
justice. Let the result of the Boston farce be
what it WILL it cannot effect the denouement Of
the great drama, in which the Southern States,
thus far, have been made to play so insignificant
and suicidal part.
The southern press., 1851-04-09
GaoIRia and Alabama.

The Augusta Republic gives the following
cheering assurances that the true men Of that
State are " up and doing in the good cause:
The SOUTHERN RIeHrs PARTY We rejoice to
see the spirit which animates the Southern rights
party, in view ofthe approaching canvass for gov
ernor This is as it ought to be. No obstacles
should dampen. our spirits-no difficulties appal-
no defeats intimidate The loss Of one contest
should furnish but an additional incentive to in
creased exertions, in order to obtain a glorious
triumph in the next. The late canvass for the
State convention, by no means, showed the true
strength or numbers Of the party. Many causes,
which do not nov exist, aided TO bring about its
defeat and contributed to the triumph Of submis-
sion to the wrongs Of the past. "The masked
battery" opened its calling fire upon the flank,
while the strength ofparty ties the blind devotion
TO political leaders, and the monetary prosperity
Of the country operated more or less deleeriously,
upon the minds and feelings Of the people.
There is much to encourage us in view Of the
future. The complete surrender OF the rights Of
the South in the passage Of the so called Compro-
mise bill, is becoming every day more and more
apparent, while the hollow cry Of Union has lost
all its terrors. The people fast opening their
eyes 10 the fearful truth Of the fact that the nst
tutions Of the South are in imminent danger from
the aggressive strides Of our enemies. No securi-

ty or repose has been obtained even from the pas
sage of the late bills which surrendered everything
to the North The anti-slavery party still de-
vote themselves TO the propagation OF their doc
trines and to the carrying out OF their infamous
purposes.
There is still necessity-great and unavoid-
able-for the existence of the Southern rights par
ty, on its old basis Of dsconnection from all
other parties. The times are full of danger to
the South, as ever before. The only part of the
compromise, which favored the rights Of Southern
men, has been totally disregarded and nullihed
The recent elections in Ohio and New York, the
empire States of the North and the West, show
the growth and influence of the abolition power
The fact that Seward is in full fellowship with the
Administration, shows too plainly what the South
may expect from that quarter. Every thing con-
nected with the political history of the country
warns us to be on our guard, and to effect union
among ourselves, on the basis Of a Southern rights
organization.
We say then, "srAND, TO YOUR coLoRs., Let
us be firm and dauntless. Let US place the prime
iples for which we are contending, ABOVE PARTY
AND ABOVE MEN. A victory awaits us, sooner or
later The nature of things renders this certain
and inevitable
From Alabama the indications are equally
cheering. The Mobile Advertiser, (most sub
missive among enthusiastically in one of its edi-
torials in view Of an approaching convention in
that State, to which Gov. QUITMAN and Mr..
SoULE have been invited, thus cries aloud in ag-
ony: .
1t will thus be seen that the disorganizers
among us have no idea Of giving up the ship or
remaining idle, but, on the other hand, are deter
mined TO push their disunion doctrines with in
creased zeal and renewed energy. Under such
circumstances, 1t becomes the true FRIENDS OF THE
UNION to organize at once, to couneract their in
fuence and arrest their progress. Unless it be
concluded to give Alabama over, an easy and
willing prey to the secessionists, there MUST be
speedy ACTION on the part of the conservative
Union men throughout the State. We cannot be
ignorant of tie fact that Wings and Democrats
are cordially uniting under the disunion banner,
regardless Of former differences, and are together
making common cause in sowing poison among
the people.
For anything which tells against its ,o,on
side the Advertiser may safely be credited. Its
fear is very consolatory thing, for its insolence
usually scars to high pitch.

to the proposed course of lectures by Mr.. GID.

deservedly high as to render all recommendation

Examiner, suggested by the result Of his re.
searches, which will richly repay perusal. Mr..

~ The Greenville Patriot, Che forlorn

ing. The Mountaineer, published at the same
place, the long established organ of popular sen.
timent in that district, supplies the omission by
republishiDg the letter, accompanying il with the
following pithy and pertinent remarks:
PosITIoN OF OUR DISTINGUISHED MES.-By
referring to the communication Of Col. l. w
Hayne, taken from the Mercury, correct infor
nation of the political position of some of the
most distinguished men in our State may be
learned. II will be seen that there is no sym.
pathy between them and the submissionists Of
Greenville, who have, to some degree, created
the impression that they occupy the same plat
form. The latter, as we have before said, stand
almost solitary and "alone" in South Carolina.

pose of informing the people Of the true posi-.

posed TO stand on the same ground with the sub.
