A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

THE Carolina Times labors of late to prove that
Presden. PIERCE favors especially the New York
Sofs The New York Times" asseverates the very
reverse The times are assuredly "out Of joint. J"
The Tines of the South, after quoting passage
fiom the Washington Euening STAR" thus remarks
"Now, here is authority for asserting that Presi.
dent Pierce avors the Soft Shells or freesoi Demo-
Gratis of New York, if evidence of the fact were wan.
ting. The Star, we warrant, carefully sounded the
feelings of the Administration, before inditing the
above. knows too we'll which side of its bread is
butered to hazard an exposition of the kind without
some warrant of authority. The Softs, then are the
favorites of the Administration, and the people OF
South Carolina are counselled 10 affiliate with them
and cooperate harmoniously with them for the sue
cess Of the party in 1885,"
Whereas the Times" of the North runs on in this
way:
The position assumed by the Wing Party, by its
merger in the Republican organization, has been re-
cognzed by Messrs. Pierce, Marcy, and Company, as
the only legitimate and proper party Of ths Union.
By dsowning the Soft Shells, as through the columns
of the Union, the Administration has quite unceremo
niousy done, the preece Of nationality the affected
aversion to sectional Influences have been discarded
and is boldly avowed that their whole hope of sup.
port and Endorsement rests so much of tho Union
an lies south of Mason and Dixon's Line The issue
is distinctly made. The President has turned his
back on that Northern faction to which he owes his
position ignores the existence Of any Democratic or
in the Free States, that can contribute
materially to the decision of the next Presidential con-
test and looks to the South exclusively for the reward
which his selfimmoation in beh"lfof Slavery certain
ly merits there, if anywhere The various factions
standing between the conservative Republicans on
the one hand and the revolutionary faction gathered
about the Administration on tho other, are declared

To the Stockholders Of the Edgefeld Odd
Fellous and Masonic Building Associn !:
GENTLEMEN AT meeting Of the Stock
holders in October 1851 the following Resolution
was adopted, viz:
ResolreG, That the Stockholders be and are
hereby required to give their Notes payable six
months from this date, with interest from the lst
January 1855, for all the Stock not yet called in,
and that their Notes be endorsed BY the President
of the Company, and offered in payment of the in
stalmcnts due BY the Company.
Gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you that
many have not complied with the requirements Of
the Resolution, although have sent to most of
them twice THE amount of each individual is so
small that they treat it with indifference, thinking
they will attend to it soon, and forget it. Our
Building is now rapidly advancing TO completion,
and we must have money or good notes to pay the
Contractor. Indeed, we are now due him Il large
part of the last nstament, and another will be due
in few days.
Gentlemen, think have said enough, and that
you will no longer delay, but come forward at once
and pay your Stack, either by money or note to S.

For The AdvertlSer.
THE IRON PLOW STOCK.

Mn. EDITOR AS most Of The Planters are now
sowing wheat or preparing to do SO, would re-
commend every farmer to purchase one or more of
these valuable Plows in order to break up his
land thoroughly. Then cross p"w with the conf
mon stock, and apply coat of cotton seed, and
when you go to gather your wheat you will find
yourself amply remunerated for your trouble now.
The Iron Stock is not only superior for It's depth,
but in rough land is not as liable to choke as the
common stock. If all Of our lands were broken up
with them would they not plow much sasicr through
the summerl Would it not retain its moisture much
longer, and prevent the soil from washingl And
surely it would be the cause of gathering more
abundant crops. A word should suffice.
| write this for the purpose of inducing others to
try the Iron Plow. | have used it the past season,
and am highly pleased with the result.

KANSAS AGAIN.

We recently invited the attention Of our read.
ers to the views Of the Hon. D. r. Atchison,
with respect to the momentous character of the
struggle now pending in this Territory. In
view of the subject, we feel justified in recurring
TO il, and advocating action in the premises.
Missouri has appealed to u.s. She calls upon
her sister Southern States to aid her in planling
tho Southern standard on the plains Of Kansas.
Already have Georgia and Alabama, through
county meetings and individual contribution,
responded, and South Carolina, we trust, will
not be backward in this great work, dictated
alike by sef.intcrest and sectional love. Have
we not enterprising young men amongst Us,
who, whilst seeking 10 better their condition in
Kansas, shall, at The same time, add materially
to the Strengthening of the Southern cause
Have we not, too, purses ready TO open, in order
We earn. silly hope that this matter will attract
the attention of our people, to the end that
proper measures may be adopted to effect the
objuct in view.
In the great cause of the South-from the
days of Notification toihose Of Secesson-our
State has ever taken q leading part, and now,
when practical issue stares her broadlycin the
face, it cannot be that she will decline 10 meet
1t, thereby fa!sltylng her motto, ana dimnlihS
the ustre Of her past history.
Already has the South The vantage ground in
Kansas, and shall her indifference and inactivity
cause this 10 be lost? Amid the dust of party
warfare, shall We show ourselves blind TO the
danger! Shall the calls of Missouri
for aid be drowned in the insane cries of A
mericanism !' Shall imaginary dangers make us
unmindful of actual and immediate ones! Oh,
that the Southern people, burying all their dis
sensions in one common grave, would unite as
one man, and laying firm hold on Kansas: re-
solve henceforth to maintain, without compro-
misses, their rights, their honor, their civilization,
their laws Then would the Southern heart
would the bow of promise extend
across our Southern say, and tho future OF The
South grow bright and we'.dedned'-South
Carolinian.
