From the Marion Star.

Ma. EDITOR South Carolina having decided
upon keeping aloof from Federal politics until
. more sisterly feeling obtains throughout the
south. it is the duty of us all carefully TO avoid
extremes, TO push forward neither an untried
nor n superanuatcd politician, but to fill the
most prominent Offices of the State by tried
and experienced men. The Ia.e convention has
succeeded in harmonizing the State, for which
service the leaders OF either party deserve our
warmest thanks In the present position of af-
fairs it is absolutely necessary that the State be
represented in Congress by delegates anxious
to carry ont the designs Of the people as express
scd by this convention. This is the desire Of
Chcres, Barnwell, Preston and Butler: The
question now arises, who is the nan most snin-
Bile for the Senate? To any one at all acquaint-
ed with the sentiments Of the feadins spirits of
the State, the answer is neither dubi0ns nor
hard to find. The Hon. F. w. PIcKEks, of
Edge6eld, for twelve years served as \ member
of Congress, not only with ecIat 10 himself but
with honor to his Stale. He then retired to the
secluded walks of Planters life, amidst the
sincere regrets of his colleagues, including both
Preston and Calhoun. President Polk consid-
cred him sufficiently skilledas . politician, to
fill the ambassadoral chair at the Court Of St.
James but with a self denial peculiar TO South
Carolinians, he declined, brclnse his State had
declined participating in the s9uabbe for Fsde-
raj favors.
Though belonging to the action party, he re-
fused to attend the Charleston convention, lest
it might create division in the State. Unfnrtu-
naiely for us all this fear was realized, and we
next hear of Mr. Pirkcns in the late convention,
marching shoulder to shoulder with Cheves,
Butler and Barnwcll, desrous not of advancing
himself, but of uniting ;hc citizens of his be.
loved State His conduct excited the admira-
tion of all, and it is an acknowledged flrt, that
large majority of The convention were anxious
to see him added to Butler as The Senatorial re.
preventative Of South Carolina. Let MS fulfil
the desire of our wisest heads, and BY honoring
him who has already honorcd us, again make
ourselves heard and feared in Congress, though
too small to be seen. A Co.OpERATIoNIsT.

PIERCE ENTHUSIASM.

WE see the following among the geanings of late
Charleston Courier:
GENERAL PIERCE AND DANIEL WEDsTEn.-lt
ia stated in the Lowcu Courier, that when Mr. WEB
sTET, last year, gave social dinner at his farm, in
New Hampshire, Gen. PIERCE, who was present, is
recorded have said that if Massachusetts rejected
the great statesman, the Democracy of New Hump
shire would take him up, and bear him aloft 30 high
that his feet would touch the stars"
There's kind of whole hog enthusiasm about that
last expression, which speaks right we'll for our gal
liant General and We like him the better for it. or
course he was " in his cups and was feeling nnu-
suaIy genial towards his host at the time. But in or
out of his cups, the figure is rich and generous one

SOCIAL AMuSEaIE

THE reader is requested not to turn away from the
perusal of this paragraph, from any fear Of being
bored with treatise upon the various Of so.
cial enjoyment
Our only object is to state two facts, anil TO draw
therefrom one or two reflections The first fact is,
that our community has almost entirely lost that
lightened and liberal spirit of social enjoyment which
once pervadcd it and rendered Edgefeld but another
name for hospitality Yes-the better days Of our
society seem to be already numbered among the
things that were. 1t is sad fact to acknowledge
but it is true almost TO the letter.
The other fact is, that, within the last month, We
have attended two occasions, when the genius OF
the past seemed for the while to have returned and
the "lght of other days. have been restored with
much Of its ancient resplendency. The first of these
occasions was delightful picnic at The mill
pond Of our hospable young fellow. citizen, Mr..
JOHNSON BLAND. The other was party of similar
character and exceedingly agreeable, which came of
at the Pine House Pond the old gathering place for
friendly and harmless amusement.
These two scenes of youthful merriment have re-
awakened within us faint hopes that the tone of
society may yet again be brough. into hculthful
and natural condition. But there many among
us now, who scowl SIMULTANEOUSLY upon all scenes
of festive mirh that we fear our hopes are ground
less. One thing we know and have no scruples in
expressing and it is that this sanctimonions
scowl not unfrequentiy hides more actual vice than
gaicy and refined social intercourse can possibly
draw forth.
But it is a sickening thcmo, this hollow-hearted-
and long gfacedness of the age in which We live
and we gladly leave it. We would fain express the
hope, however. before putting down our pen, that
revolution may yet take place in our midst, which
shall make society, in this respect what it
twenty years ago. There is still enough Of the right
kind of material le from which to construct social
edfce Of the most attractive proportions Will not
the generation, now coming into place, stand boldly
forth in this business Of social regeneration Or will
they suffer themselves to be frightened from so good
and pure purpose by the pulling cant of those
whose fountains of enjoyment are dried up, or of
others who never had hearts to relish the genial de-
lights of polite intercourse! We leave the subject
with them.

NEVyBERRY QUIET.

FROM a Ncwberry friend Of much intelligence,
recently professional bnsi1cs, at our village, We
gathered that The District of Newbcrry was over
spread with political calm, the good men of both
parties thinking it best to quc all past dspues and
to restore that harmony which the excitement Of last
summer had seriously disturbed.
This, we think, is the case in EdgeGeld, and, as
far learn, throughout State. Is it no, far
better that it should be so? Let every man answer
the question for himself.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

As expected, there seems to be but one opinion in
our S,ate as to the nomination of PIERCE and KING.
The State will vote that ticket most assuredly How
could she be justified in doing otherwise under the
circumstances Of the case. As to ratification meet
ings, would only ask, where upon earth is the use
for them! Could they render the vote of South Car
oina for the nomination one whit more certain! Or
would they increase the effect of that vote ota
Judging from the effect Of Carolina action heretofore,
and the jealousies which have been much spoken
of as existing towards her, should think that the
less she said the better for the success of Messrs
PIERCE and KING.
We hope that our State will quietly discharge her
duty in the premises, and cast her vote without un-
necessary rorfcation
