SONG.
TuNE-"Por OMore,''

Now, Paddy, my darlint, just listen to me,
Whllel give ye some hints, that will help We to
see
The wiles that the Lokies are laying to take
The sons of ovid Erin, who're not wide awake.
If a can of good whisky, they show you the sight
land, iaIx! it's not bad, on a cowld whittier nightly
Then. Paddy, my boy, when they urge you to
drink,
Just be prudent, my lad, and tip 'em the wink
Don't heed 'em, the blackguards they're full of
desate,
For your votes at election they're lying in wait;
Now Paddy, my darlint, just listen to me,
And III teach We some sacTets of Democracy.
Och, Paddy. my boy, Of their promises fair
Its myself that's in arrest, would bid We beware,
They'll trate We, and chate ye, and have we at last
10 go to the dogs-when election is past.
Sure, We know, Paddy darlint, our faith was a scorn
10 the tyrants who ruled DER us, where we were
born;
So we left our dear Erin and came to the shore
Where the flag OF the Freeman shall wave ever
more,
And We'll fight for our freedom in this land of our
choice,
Well fight with one heart, and We'll vote with
one voice.
Then, Paddy, my darlint, just listen to me,
And III teach you some acrets of Democracy.
They'll tell ye, my lad, in the old Granite State,
There's a candidate there who can't be bate,
They'll puff him and praise him, and shout and
halloo,
But, Paddy, my jewel don't let an fool you!
He's a s~palpeen, behave me-, who faints in the fight,
While brave men are falling, he shows feathers
nhae.
When true men are urging the widows fair claim,
In the negative vote you will fine Pierce7s name:
Worthy son of New Hampshire, the only free STATE, |
Where our sons, to how'd Office, must be ~apostotc!
Then, Paddy, my darlint, jist listen to me,
While ! teach you some sacrets OF Democracy.
tell you his merits, while loudly they'll
shout,
For unless they did that, they would niver lake out;
He once in a time gave a WHOLE CENT away,
his heart must be open and g%in'rous as day!
But, Paddy, my darlint, don't be caught by a TOW.
ENshow ye iewel-He's just the ovid boy,
To win all the hearts of Green Erin's bowld sons:
Then let's give ScoTT vol!ey from true Irish guns:
have not forgotten the caution he gave us,
When he sought from the cords of the British to
save us,
the brosue don't betray us, It's silent we'll be,
Lest We fall in the Shares o FALsE Democracy.

The Stampede Getting hateresting.-From
all parts of the Union we have the most graft
flying accounts Of Democrats coming out over
their own signatures in favor of the gallant
ScoTT. How many thousands of them that

November will tell. Roll on the ball Of reac-
ton. There is nothing like the ssober second

and, finding a tree in the form of a cross, actu.

having tools for drawing the nails, felled the

A Change Recommendations years ago,
we understand, a bayou in the interior of this
State was named Van Buren,, for the reason
that it was not known which way the current
ran. Recently, however, high winds Or some
thing else have made the current very percep.
tible, and Bayou Black would now probably
be a more appropriate term.

The Loved and Lost.

The Journal of Commerce furnishes its
readers with the following affecting sketch.
1t is picture in real .lite-e vision of
truth.
A lady was riding, some years since,
through Connecticut, in her fathers car
rlage, when they were brought to a stop
10y woman coming from cottage, near
which they passed, and beekoning 70 them,
Drawing the rein tight and stopping his
horses, MIR. L - waited her approach.
As she came nearer, her face appeared in
telligent and attractive, but melancholy
withal, and her eye was restless and ro-
wing; but rs she reached the side of the
carriage, and laid her hand on the window
edge, she gazcd with intense earnestness
into the face ofthe lady, and asked, Have
you seen William, anywherel"
Startling as the porximty of derangcd
P'rs"n must hav been, the lady hal sufii-
cient presence of mind to assure her that
she had not seen William, AMI the poor
watcher by the roadside turned away
with sigh.
Yeas had passed, and the incident was
almost forgotten, when, few weeks ago,
the same lady, now the wife of lawyer
IN this city, was riding through Fulton
street, i'll BROOKLYN. A loud cry attract
cd hci attention, and looking ut the side
walk, she saw Il. woman with streaming
hair and wild eye running down the street,
screaming-"WIlly, Willy, Willy" in II
voice that seemed, as she described it to be,
SO unuttcrably mournfu and thrilling,
that it must reach the ear of him she cal
led, unless that ear WAS scaled in the
silence of death.
Was this the same person she had met
long ago in Connecticut and had her
poor wandering brain been scarceing all
these years for the boy she lovcd-and
searching all in vain Who was he! and
where on the broad earth had he kept
himself out Of the reach of that wild love!
She had asked million of persons il they
n'ui seen him, and none knew him. She
hrd clll"d him in the forest, in the crow
he'd city, i'll the day and in the night, now
hopefully, HOW mmIrnfIy, and always Ice
haa answered not. Or WAS he, prrchauc,..
beyond answering. and did the voice reach
him in that land whence he might not
reply to her, however much his soul migi,
yearn towards hcrl
Mayhap, if SO it be, and he strive hard
--mayhap, some pleasant evening. when
she sits alone, and murmnrs his name IN
accents of unchangng affection. Col may
grant to him u'tcrtnrc in tones that will
reach her wurn old heart, AMI thrn-huw
it spring back through tn, lonesome years,
and with the vigorous freshness and beau
" of youth and youthful love, 90 forth to
meet him? Or, rs these lines will in one
day 20 further than she can in thousand.
If William be anywhere OH the earth, and
his conscience tells him he is wandering
from heart he owes allegiance to, let
him know when he reads this that there is
ringing all through the world, now here,
now there, a voice that is calling him
mournfully, but, oh, how lovingly, back to
arms that yearn to embrace him.

The next Governor.

1t is beginning TO be matter of some
interest who will be our next chief magis-
trate. Both the low and middle country
have made nominations, in every way
worthy of the distinguished post, and we
desire to present the claims OF the up-coun-
try. No feelings merely sectional could
induce us to do so, did we not regard the
Hon. Daniel Wallace equal in every re-
speet with the other distinguished gentle
men who have already been spoken Of in
connection with the Office. '...-....
We know Of no man in South Carolina
who is possessed of higher qualifications
for this exalted station than tie honora-
ble gentleman referred to. He has filed,
in succession, almost every office, both civ
IL and military, within the gift Of the
State, from the lowest to highest, except
the one in question. and has as yet found
no limit TO his capacity TO discharge their
duties in the most distinguished manner,
rs Magistrate, Commissioner in Equity,
member Of the legislature and repre-
sentative in Congress; and in all the grades
Of military, from the lowest to that of
Major General, he has come up to the
mark Of the perfect officer. Possessing
an accurate knowledge Of the details Of
Office, lie has, at the same time, mind
comprehensive enough TO grapple with its
most intricate and important duties. '
Were il not from the fact that our men,
bers in the federal legislature are utterly
powerless, we would feel mach hesitation
ID Withdrawing him fro u position which
he Is so eminently fitted to accupy; but the
time has come when South Carolina needs
her distinguished sons'at home. As they
cannot accomplish anything in bringing
back the Federal Government TO its pris-
tine purity, we should at least employ
them in promoting the prosperity and ele.
waiting the character Of our own beloved
commonwealth. W 81 -
We make this nomination without the
knowledge Of Gen. Wallacs, but with a
full conviction Of the importance Of the
ofiee, and Of his fitness to discharge its
responsible duties.--Laarensviite Herald.

~- The following very sensible article

@" The following very sensible article
we find In one of our favorite exchanges, the
New York Sschem. 1t deserves publicity ::
AMONG OTHER LEGAL REFORMS there
Is one that we would strictly insist upon
the abolition of Imprisonment ofwitnesses,
tor the incarceration of man simply for
the reason that he was a casual spectator
d anothers iniquity is "A satire upon reason
and a mockery upon justice, deleterious to
the course of pure Judgment as it is re-
pulsive to common sense. How stands
mo case with man cognizant to the
commission Of crime, will he voluntarily
step forward to aid the administration of
jurice when he is immured within a
dungeon, while the offender is riotino at
large upon bail on the contrary, he seeks
every possible means to eludc the vip-
ilance of the officers, on the alert to catch
and imprison an honest man, with the
same alacrity they would arrest fclon.
When the 81 Ght Of crime becomes criminal
and the act Of vision ensures participation
IN offences, how much more safe will it
be for all upright men to close their eyes
and p@rm,t the criminal in fact to rcvcl
with free impunity. As unwise, as tyran-
mic, the law, obIiging witness to be rccog-
nized, or incarcerated, should be abolished
or rendered migatory-let man be pun
ished for his own tranSgrcssions and not
for those OF his neigllbOr. But how REM
edy the evil BY speedy administration
OF justice, by destroying the tormality of u

can be transferred to the examining ma-
gistrate, and further by lessening the
