rather delicate compliment was paid to a
young lady in the Centre Market She
was pricing roses, for planting, when male
acquaintance approached, and entered into
conversation upon the subject. She said
that she had several species of that flower
in her garden, and she now wanted him to
make a selection for her.

please YOU"

modestly.

VARIETY.



The Convention Of the State-rights A.
sociations in South Carolina Is 70 assemble
in Charleston on Monday next, and its de-
libcrations must be looked to with much
interest as an indication Of what the State
will do in reference to the late measure
passed by Congress adjusting the slavery
ancst,on. We trust that that noble State
will rccollect how much she gainedin 1882
when she refused to insist on the measures
of notification as legitimate remedy for
the high tariff, which was then obnoxious
not only to her citizens, but to those gene
rally Of the Southern portion Of the Union.
AT that time all causes Of complaint disaP-
pcarei with the abandonment on the part
ofCongrcss Of the high protective duties OF
the tariff. 1t seems to US that the passage
of the COMPROMISE, aided by the sound SEN
t;.ueat which is silcncing the spirit Of fana-
,icism in portion of the Northern States,
i an assurance which the State Of South
Carolina ought to accept in the same spirit
of patriotism and brotheriy love, and not
arterpt a separation from her sister States,
which, even if successful, could bring to
hcrno benefits, bu, which would put in jeo-
p,rdy all the blessings derived from the
Union.
The democratic party, ,clen 1t stood ar
yayea against the doctrinc Qualification,
never INDUCED a sentiment hostile to the
honor and glory of 5. Carolina, and it new
or relaxed an excrtion to remove the just
causes of her complaint. AT the present
moment this party is much stronger than it
then was; and the leaders ofthe opposite
party have, ms in the case Of the tariff,
thrown the weight other influence in sup
port of the only practicable measure in
The power of Congress to secure to the
southern citizen his right ofproperty. I'm
der such circumstances, we can scarcely
believe it possible that State so distin-
guished as South Carolina is for the glori-
Gus part she acted in the war Of our indie
pendencc, and for the eminent aid her citi-
zens have rendered the common country in
all the vicissi,udes which have marked its
progress TO its present high point Of pros
pcriiy and greatness, will carry into execu-
Ron measure fatal and destructive not on
" 10 herself, but to the hopes of all other
States Of the Union, and TO the cause of re-
publican liberty wherever it has an advo-
LRion.

Separate State Action In SOurlh
Carolina.

Under this head. the Augusta Constitu-
tionalist gives the following brief statement
Of the relative strength Of parties in the
South Carolina Convention, OH the ques-
ton of secession:
A writer in the Charleston Courier, sign
ing himself "One of the Minority" thus
Classics the members elect to the State
Convention:
Whole number of members 167
Opposed to separate State action rs
Leaving for secession SO
Being majority of II only.
The number opposed to separate State
action is given by districts. Among these
are 81 from Charleston.
The Charleston papers have heretofore
ignored the fact that the delegates from
that city are against separate State action.
1t serves to explain many limitations, we
have noticed in the belligerent communi-
cations published by the Mercury, that
Charleston is not altogether reliable in the
secession movement 1t discloses Judge
Buffers meaning when he limited, at Edge
field, that, if the State should determine to
secedc alone, the commercial interests might
interpose serious obstacles. Yetit causes
us some surprise, that when Charleston has
declared against secession, the Courier,
which is peculiarly the commercial paper
of the city, and which at first actually APP
proved the Compromise, should be perfect
ly silent on the great topic of discussion.
The Augusta Constituencies, which is
prominent organ ofthe Southern Rights
party of Georgia, adds to the exhibit Of
secession and anti-secession men in the
South Carolina Convention, the following
rather significant remark:
The time for the assembling ofthe Con
vcn,ion is yet long time off, and many
events may happen in the meantime to
modify the views Of the members. 1t is,
therefore, difficult to predict what course
the Convention will take.-R. Times.
