Senator A. P. BUTLER, of South Carolina, has
written a letter addressed to Col. l. W. Hayne on
political matters We find this letter in the Char
lesion Courier, and make the following extract in
relation to the candidates for the Presidency. The
letter bears date at Washington the 7th inst, after
the abolition ISLANDERS against Gen. PIERCE had
been published and discussed there at head quar-
tiers yet it will be seen that Mr.. Butler has the
utmost confidence in Gen. Pierce's fidelity to the
Constitution and the South The Senator says
"Wh these views, it is impossible that can take
any interest in the presidential election, far
give any positive countenance TO the doctrines and
measures of the compromise; and cannot overlook
disregard the fact that both the candidates for the
presidency stand upon the compromise, part of
their platform, each of the great parties having SOL
EMMY incorporated il into its political creed. cannot
abandon the principles upon which based my oppo-
son to these measures, or approve now, what dis
approved and denounced few months ago. Not
wthstanding my personal regard for Gen. Scott, and
my admiration of his high military fame am the
very anpode of his school of politics, and would be
compelled, if he elected, take active part
against his administration if it should be conducted
upon the doctrines which he maintains, and guided by
Pierce, might have politically, affinities. In
doctrine, he is strict constructionist of the State
Rights school, and far il regards the South,
believe he has prejudice bigotry, and would do
his duty TO her according to the Constitution

re- That Gen. Scott is run by the wings alone
upon his military achievements, needs affirTna-
ton. But is it not strange that Greeley, Corwin,
and other free-soiers, who are now the head and
front of the Scott party, who denounced the Mexi-
can war as outrageous and damnable, should now
be found the fastest friends of one Of the heroes
of that war? 1t IS, however, but keeping up the
characteristics of that party-aVGilaJiiity. We see
this subject noticed in discussion in Mississippi:
Col. Singleton opened the debate, and spoke for
hour AMI half. In tine opening remarks of the Col
one he said that he for the purpose of discus
sing the atissue, between
the partes-that far as The military reputation
of Gen. Scott concerned, it was not questioned,
aud he would say his friend Mr.. Anderson, that is
his object 10 make long speech establishing
the claims of Gen. Scott to military fame, he need
not do it that for himself he would let the ques-
ton go by default; he ready to yield to General
Scott all that claimed Cor him soldier and
hero {; but as the general this fame in fighting
the battles of his c0unfry and not of the wing party;
as he won his fame in wars for which the democratic
party was responsible, and sustained, and the whig
party opposed and refused to furnish the general the
tUheret0h to fight, he thought it rather illibera
the part of Gen. Scott and the whig party attempt
This fame to defeat the democratic party, and
appropriate it entirely to the wings; and especially
it reprehensbe in Gen. Scott to permit his
and fame 10 be used nsuch manner to TO the
benefit of faction whose object and desire is to
subver the constitution of country. and place the
South at the mercy of her bitterest enemies"

Becans' shs was called 90 soon
Her hair is still in the PAPER,
Her cheeks still dabbl.d with paint
Remains of her last nights blushes
Before she intended TO faint.
She doats upon men unshavcu,
And men with ''the flowing hair
Shes eloquent over mpustsches,
They give such n foreign" air.

And falls in love with the moon.
And thought but mouse should meet her
She sinks away in a svoon.
Her feet are so very little.
Her hands are very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,

Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own;
Her bodys made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made mostly Of stone.
