,tions to one shall become sincompati.
.bie with the Supported the other, thsii,;
both my inclination and duty as u
State Rights Republican, will be to
sustain the constitution and laws of
>hs commonwealth.
The government of the United
States hus recently undergone trials of
its strength to which it has never be-
fore beer subjected; and which have
threatened to sever, from time to
time, tho bonds which unite its vari-
GUS parts in II Fcderative Compact.
But the unwillingncss of the people to
endanger u Government, under which
they have enjoyed SO much happiness
aud attained such prosperity, has in
duced them to rebukc to u certain
extent, The tendencies to reckless ia
naticism and total disregard Of the
guarantees Of the Constitution. AS if
+ to carry these views into effect. they
have, by an unexamplcd majority, Civ.
Ell the administration of tho Federal
Government into the hands of those
who stand pledged before the coun.
try to sustain all these guarantees, and
the rights Of each section Of the Con-
tcderacy.
But whilst this State has given its
support, with remarkable unanimity,
to the candidates of the Democratic
party for the highest honors of the
American Republic. and listened to
tho pledges which that party has Civ
eli to protect the Southern portion of
tho Confcderacy in the enjoyment of
all its rights, to which our State has
been SO long and 50 ardently attached
principles by which the triumph was
achieved over tho doctrines Of con-
soldation, and which mark the admin
istra,ions of Jefferson, Madison. and
Monroe, as the halcyon days of the
Republic; it is only by the revival of
these principles and their active in
fluence in the control Of party organ
ization, that security can be given to
individual liberty, through the scpa-
rate energies of distinct governments,
the general interests preserved from
the Injustice Of sectional legislation,
and our domestic concerns fortified
against the invasions of federal author
ity.
Having thus briefly expressed my
views upon those topics to which it
scc:l.cd proper to advert on the
present occasion, | now invoke the
blessings of the Almighty, upon the
present and future action of the CO.
ordinate branches of our government,
and hope, that through his mercy, cv-
cry thing may work well together, to
Pcrpetnatc the many advantages and
blessings, which have hitherto at
tended the results Of our industry, and
crown tho wisdom Of our Nlagis-
tratcs and Counsrllors.

recently shown piece Of mechanism
called Yalc's Magic Lock, which is alb
solutely unpickable as the kernel Of !.

tho shell. Tho only opening is cir
cular orifice, half an inch in diameter,
for admitting the key, and through
which there is no possible access to the
tumblers by amy instrument whatever
not even by the key itself, strange
as that may seem. BY singular con
trivancc, portion of the key is dctach-
ca Sler Insertion, and sent to distant
part Of the lock, where it moves the
tublers. and where the tools ofthc bur
g'ar cou'd never arrive, except by first
natteril's Vie lock to pieces. The key
hole rcsenlDl.s the interior Of small
pistol barrel, AMI having no opening in
the interior basin Of tire lock, would
not receive powdeI enough to blow it
open. The lock is, therefore, absolute.

have heard of no one being injured, but
the passenger train from Charleston, in
consequence Of the detention, failed to

was passing over, the engine got across
leaving her tender in the river channels;
these accidents are getting too com

The passengers and mail, until some

Gen. Pierce ON right of Pc

Our opponents will doubtless endea-
voy to make capital out Of the fact that
Gen. Piercr, while q member Of Con-
gress, was in iavoro f granting the right
Of petition to the abolitionisis. in com
mon with the rest Of the people. This
is quite a mares nest, and we will as

The subjoined short speech defines his
position upon the subject fully. Il was
delivered December 18th, 1887. We
copy from the Congressional Globe Of
that year, page 37.--Vicks. Sent.
"Mr Pierce concurred fully with the
Senator from South Carolina. Mr. Pres
ton, in the opinion that no valuable end
was to be attained by discussion here
upon this deeply agitated subject. and
he did not rise to participate in the de-
bate which had sprung up, as be belize
we'd, most Unexpectedly TO every mem
Der of the Senate. He rose merely to
express the hope that the motion to lay
the question Of reception on the table,
might not be renewed. He was in fa>
vor of the reception, and that question
he desired to meet distinctly, and un.
embarrassed by any other motion.
When petitions of this character are
received, he would be prepared to act
upon them without delay: to reject the
prayer of the petitioners. to lay them
upon thetable, or give them any other
direction that might be thought best cal
culated to silence the ~agitators and
tranquilize the public mind: Asa mem.
Der fthe select committee of the other
House, of which Mr. Pinckney ofSouth
Carolina was chairman, he had fully
concurred in the sentiments of the re-
port presented by that gentleman at
the first session of the twenty-fourth
Congress; and further examination and
reflection had only served to confirm
him in the opinions which he at that
time entertained; but mad and fanats
ical as he regarded the schemes of the
abolitionists, and deeply as he deplored
the consequences of their course upon
all sections of the Union, lie could give
vote that might he construed into a
of the right of petition, and thus
enable them to change their position,
and make up a false issue before the
country"
