Be 1t resolred, That the General Assem-
bly, of South Carolina deplorcs the bereave-
ments which have fallen upon the confede-

Hungarian exilcs with which the British me-
tropolis swarms it is said, are less in the hab-
it of looking to him for counsel and advice,
now, than to Mazzini. Kossuth, they argue
with great plausibility has so opened the
eyes of Aboslutsm on the Continent, that it is
morally and physically impossible that any
scheme for the revival of revolution can sue
ceed under his management. His speeches
and harangues in the United States, they,
say, have only had the effect to show Kings
and Princes their weak places, and to put
them upon their guard against popular inno-
vatlons, as pointed out and enforced by Kos
suth AS leader, therefore, his prestige,
influence, his name, is gone.
The London police, nevertheless are in
structed to keep sharp eye on the move
ments of 'the Magyar" But, so far, they
have had no occasion to interfere with him
taking it for granted that he is no longer
in the confidence Of the exiles in England,

A French Surgeon, who has seen service in

the remarkable perceptive powers of the

improved -
The Arabs are gifted with remarkable
dexterity in steering without compass, re-
cognizing footstep imperceptible to the
common eye, seenting the water at a dis
tance, and finding their way by marks which
would escape the most observant European.

The Democratic Platform, adopted at
Baltimore, pledged the party against Inter-
nal Improvements and yet, in the face of
this proclamation Congress, at its last ses-
sion, having strong Democratic majority
in both branches passed bill making very
large appropriations Of the public money
for the improvement Of rivers and harbors.
This was done by the united votes of the
Wings who supported it upon principle, and
of those Democratic members from North
eyn and Western States who dared not vote
against it and then face their constituents.
The result showed that the 1rinclpic was
actually stronger than the party cohesiveness,
and that if direct issue could be made it
would override party divisions.

warns the Democracy of the South that
Congress cannot be relied upon, even if it
is under the control OF strong Democratic
maiorities. The history Of the last ses-

takably that there is no safety in nominal
Democratic majorities in Congress- IHwe-

men calling themselves Democrats, and

every measure addressed to their selfish or

PLEASURES OF READING IN foUTH-
The greatest pleasure Of reading is while
we are young. | have had as much of this
pleasure perhaps as any one.
AsI grow older, it fades or else, the
stronger stimulous of writing takes off the
edge of it. At present, have neither time
nor inclination for it; yet l should like to
devote years entire leisure to a course Of
the English novelists and perhaps clap on
that old sly knave, Sir Walter, to the end of
the list. 1t is astonishing how l used form
crly to relish the style of certain authors, at
a time when l myself despaired of ever
writing single line. Probably this was
the reason. It is in mental as in natural as
intellectual objects seem higher when
we look down from any given elevation
above the common level. My three favor
ite writers about the time l speak of were
Burke, Junius, and Rousseau. | was nev-
er weary of admiring and wondering at the
facilities of the style, the turns of express
sion. the reiinements of thought and senti-
ments; l laid the book down to find out
the secret of so much strength and beauty,
and took it up again in despair, to read on
and admire So / passed whole days,
months and may add years and have on
ly this to say now, that as my life began, so
1 could wish that it may end. lHaslit.

Letter from Senator BADGER.

The following letter from the Hon. Geo
f. Badger, a Senator of the United States
from North Carolina is in reply to sn invi-
tation to address the Wing Club of Raleigh
1t merits the particular attention Of Wings
who may have preferred another candidate
for the Presidency to the one who received
the nomination of the National Convention
We copy the letter from the Raleigh (N.C)
Hegister:-Rep~bLic.
RALEIGH, Sept. q, 1852.
SEAroN GALES, Eso.-Sir: 1t was my
purpose, when / returned from Washington
to attend and address the club of our city
upon the pending Presidential election
Having been prevented, by a cause beyond
my control, from doing what | had thus
purposed, | deem it proper, in order to pre-
vent or correct mistake or misstatement re-
specting my position and views to submit
this communication to you, and to ask that
it may be read to the club.
| am dccided and uc1y earnest suppor-
ter of the Wing national nominations for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency. 1t is
known t. you, sir, as well as to many 9th
ers of my friends, that Gen. Scott was not
my first choice for the Preside ncy-that l
preferred Mr.. Fillmore and greatly desired
his nomination by the convention. l will
add in all frankncss, that probably no man
in the United States was more disappointed.
not to say dissatisfied, than was when this
gentleman was passed over.
But what have these preferences, disap-
pointments, and dissatisfactions to do with
the important issue now submitted to the
American people and by them soon to be
decided? The question is not between MIL
lard Fillmore ard Winfield Scott, but be-
tween Winfield Scott and Franklin Pierce;
and assuming the superiority, in point of
qualifications, of Mr. Fillmore over Gen
eral Scott, it by no means follows that the
latter is not immeasurably above General
Pierce in his claims upon the nation, and
especially the Wing party For Fillmore
Wings to retire in gloomy discomfort from
the contest, because the Wing of their
choice was not selected by the convention,
Is to give preference to men over prin-
clples, to names over things; for such
Wings to join our opponents and make war
upon the nominee of the party, is to desert
Fillmore himself, and repudiate the course
he recommends and pursues, and to involve
themselves in the pitiable absurdity of sup
porting Democratic men and measures, out
OF an extreme and exclusive zeal for Wing
measures and for decided Wing supporter
OF Wing measures.
Is not this so? Let us see: Winfield
Scott was nominated by general convention
OF Wings from all the States. That con-
Vention, previous to his nomination, had
adopted set of resolutions embodying
the principles of the Wing party
ueneral Scott has accepted both the nomi-
nation and the resolutions. To these res
%t SIutlons no Whig-at least no Southern
Mhlgg-so far as | know, takes any excep-
eon. To abandon the nomination, then, SO
lar as this contest is concerned, is clearly to

The Battle Of Niagara.

In mutation of Canlp6clfs Hohe'lllnde''
Der Huron's wave the sun was low,
The weary soldier watch'd the bow,
Fast fading from the cloud below,
The dashihg of Niagara.
And while the phantom chained his sight,
All! little thought he OF the fight
The horrors of the dreamless night
That posted on so rapidly.
Soon. soon. as aed each softer charm, go.
The drum and trumpet sound alarm,
And bid each warrior nerve his arm
For bodest deeds of chivalry
The burning red cross waving high,
Like meteor in the evening sky,
Proclaims the naughty foeman nigh,
To try the strife of rivalry.
Columbia's banner floats as proud .
Her gallant band around il crowd,
And swear to guard or make their shroud
The starry flag of liberty.
'!Hastc. haste thee, ScoTr. to meet the foe,
And let the scornful British know,
Well strung the arm, and firm the blow,
OF him who strikes for liberty"
Loud loud the din of battle rings,
Shrill through the ranks the bullet sings,
And Onward fierce, each foemaa springs,
To meet his peer in gallantry.
Behind the hill descends the sun,
The work of death is but begun,
And red through twilight's shadows don,
Blazes the vollied musketry.
"Charge. Miller charge the foe once more
And louder than Niagara's roar,
Along the line is heard encore.
"On. on to death or victory"
From line to line with lucid glow, la
High arching shoots the rockets bow,
And lights the mingled scene below,
OF carnage, death and misery.
The middle watch has now begun,
The horrd battle fray is done,
No longer beats the furious drum.
To death, to death or victory.
All all is still--with silent tread,
The watchman steals among the dead,
10 guard his comrades lowly head,
Till morning gave him sepulture.
Now in the west. of splendor shorn,
The midnight moon, with bloody horn,
Sheds her last beam on him forlorn.
Who fell in fight SO gloriously.
Obi long her crescent wax and wane,
Ere she behold such fray again,
Such dismal night, such heap. of slain,
Foe mixed with foe promlscuously

The editors Of the Washington Union,
after publishing the statement of General
SCOTS pay accounts, makes this remark
That General Scott is assailed for his want
of personal integrity is not true"
So it seems that the editors of the Union
have too much decency, too much principle
or too much fears of responsibility to public
opinion, to be willing to throw the slightest
imputation upon the integrity OF General
Scott in connection with his pay accounts.
yet We have seen Western Democratic or
gans descend to the infamy of impudently
accusing General Scott in reference to those
accounts, of being public defaulter and a
pecuator! .......
