We sec that a correspondent of the "Ec-
press" mentions Professor L!cher as sllita-
h!e person for the Presidency of the South
Carolina College. made vacant by the resg
nation Of DR.. Thurnwcll.-Proicssur Lie
Der WAS also nominated for this Office. we
believe, by writer in the "Independent
Press"
We regard Francis Licber as one Of the
few men of our day upon whom no Office
could hcstow much, if any, distinction. 1t
might be a question whether he would at
ccpt such al Office rs the one mentioned, if
he were elected. We are not sure but that
a Just consideration Of the claims of poster
ity light decide against transferring DR.. Lie
her to the Presidency lest the necessary du-
ties thereof might divert his attention from
the development Of those great principles
Of Republican Government, for which he
has not only trimmed the milni CHIT lamp
but for which he has patiently suffered-a
prisoner--in the gloomy dungeon, and gal
lan'ly struggled OH the 'linb-strewn field"
where "iierv scrpcnts filled the air."
Shonld it, however, please those whose
duty it is to fill the Presidency of the Col
lego, to call DR.. Lirbcr to position of more
active and practical duties than belong 10
that he now so worihily illustrates, we do
not hesitate to say, that in our opinion there
is no man in the Southern country, if in
deed there is in the Union, who would give
the College so great q reputation abroad as
would DR.. Lieher. Even European writers
have not been ashamed 10 give DR.. Liebcr
as authority, while such men as Story, Kent
and Greenlcaf haze been his friends and asso
ciates.-Caro1ina Spartan.

tell what. 1t is principle of party organiza-
ton, which, by demanding the unlimited sub
mission OF the minority 10 the majority, annih-
iates the balancP-power of Parliamentary oppo-
siton. and all the advantages that belong 10 it,
1t extlnguishes the personal independence of the

over The political conduct, and makes it a con-
dillon 10 tbr preservation of his integrity, if a
voter should happen 10 scrupe measure or
man proposed by the order, that he absolutely
abandon The party altogether.
Lastly if this principle Of secrecy and OBJ
legation under oath is legitimate for one party,
il is legitimate for all every party may adopt
il the ''sag-nieht' clubs of the foreigners of
the West are wholly justified and the whole
politlcai destnies of the country may BE- con-
troled by secret, oatb-bound organizatons-a
hybrid mixture Of Masonary and political
caucus, with all good in either spoiled by the
conjunction. Can any man in this nation con-
template such prospect--the legitimate result
oil the principle OF organization adopted by the
know-nothIng party-without emotions of a
larm amounting to terror! 1t is a principle,
legitimate in a condition Of society where the
lives OF men are dependent upon the fidelity Of
their political associates: ii is utterly abominabe
in any other. Yet the accomplished writer in
the Critic, for May, would place such a prin-
ciple, in point Of political morality, on the same
footing with the vote by ballot
We have only 10 add, that if the Nationality,
the Federal Union and the Protestant Civiliza-
ton OF this county, are dependent upon the
conservatism ofths new political combination,
its past acts indicate most iearfully that gloomy
times are ahead.

A DREAM.
BY WALTER.

dreampt that was courting-
Oh, what merry dream!
told her that loved her,
And she confessed the same;
Nv arm was wound around her
Ny lip, TO hers were pressed;
And notes OF brightest tissue
We're swelling IN my breast.
] dreampt that was married
Oh what happy dream!
My bride was fair and lovely
As suElights brightest beam;
Her lips were red as cherries;
Her bosom white as snow;
And as she spoke her rapture
Her voice was soft and low.
dreampt was father
Oh, what funny dream
Ny children round NE gather,
Their eyes with pleasure gleam;
Their merry gleesome prattle
Falls sweetly on my ear:
| love 10 watch their gambols,
For they are very dear.
IT'S past--my Visions ended
Twas nothing but a dream;
These slumbering midnight fancies,
How litelike do they seem!
The morning sun arising,
They vanish one by one,
And awake disheaffened
To fnd myself alone.

Il House set on FIre-Sir Persons Burned to
Death

BUFFALo, July 16.-A most horrible calami-
ty occurred in the town of Brant, this county,
Yesterday morning between the hours of one
and two O'Clock.
James Thompson, farmer in good circum-
stances, was awakened by an alarm of fire, and
discovered his house to be in flames, having
been fired by an incendiarv in three places.
Mr.. Thompson, who is an aged gentleman,
rushed up stairs Immediately on discovering
what was the matter, TO alarm his daughters,
when becoming overpowerrd by the smoke, he
was unable TO return, and himself, his three
daughters-Julia, Mary, and Mrs. Carr, with
the little children Of the latter, perished in the
flames.
The ages of the unfortunate young ladies
ranged from u TO "a years The rest of the
inmates in the house, twelve in number, escaped,
with much difficulty.
There is not the slightest doubt whatever of
the fire being the work of an incendiary.
The most intense excitement prevails in re-
gard TO the affair.

The Latest Snake Story.

The Concord tN. H. Patriot gives the fol-
loving, and as, if conscious that few could be
found 10 credit it, gives the assurance that it is
true
s'Abut two weeks since, little girl. near six
years OF age, named Coilista Hill, OF Gilmanton
Centre, was searching for berries in the field,
when her attention was arrested by peculiar
singing noise, and on looking up she perceived
two large black snakes, one OF which was in an
erect attitude, and gazing fixedly upon her, ac-
companylng Svlbratory motions by, as she says,
'a most beautiful singing She first attempted
TO run, but found herself utterly incapable of
doing so. She then looked at the snake until
she became SO pleased with il that she took it
into her lap, and held it until she thought it
asleep, and then fled 10 the house. For num-
Der OF days she visited the snake, unknown 10
her parents, who finally discovered her FEEDING
it from her hands. She continued feeding it
regularly every day, becoming more and more
attached to it, until it would wind itself around
her arms and neck, and even take food from her
mouth. Finally she was prevailed upon to
place it in box, on condition that it should
not be hurt, and in that it is still kept, except
when being fed. Hundreds in the vicinity have
peeh 10 SFt u. dhd III Is the opinion Oi t1| iHtGl-
cal men who have seen her, that she is COM
pletely fascinated, and that the death of the rep
tile would prove fatal to her. Her parents
have had many tempting offers TO permit her TO
be taken about and exhibited with the snake,
but, though they are poor, they have sense
enough to refuse all such offers. The snake is
over four feet long,
The New Hampshire Mirror adds the follow
ing
"Ihe little girl was asked if she was not
frightened when she saw the snake. She said
she was terribly frightened and when asked
why she did not run, she said she tried but could
not; she also tried 10 scream for her mother. but
could mol speak word. The idea is that she
was parayzrd by the magnetic power of the
snakes. The first time she remained with them
a long time-could not tell how long. After
wards daily she staid with them several houIS,
feeding them regularly. She said they liked
sweet things best, and that she stole three cakes
OF maple sugar that her mother had laid away,
and sweet gingerbread whenever she could, 10
give them. The big snake would try TO drive
the small one away from her when fed, and she
cnfied bin several times, and he returned the
compliment by taking her fingers into his mouth
several times, without doing much harm. Con-
seqnently she don't love this snake as much as
she does the other one, though she is generally
fond of him.

The Recent Case Of Lynching IN Wisconsin.
BrFFALo, July l6.-We have full account
ofthe hanging ofthe man Mayberry by mob
at JaneSville, Wisconsin, last week. 1t appears
that the prisoner had been found guilty by
Judge Doolittle, but the law only prescribes
Imprisonment for life.
The sheriff undertook TO remove the prisoner
from the court house to the Jail, but he with his
posse had scarcely got out of the court house
when the cry arose chang him ~ 'hang him y
The officers were then completely overpow-
cred by the crowd, the prisoner seized, rope
placed around his neck, and Notwithstanding hls
awful shrleks and prayers, they dragged him TO
cluster of trees and hung him till dead
A band Of three hundred men had been or
ganlzed to execute :he deed. The greatest ex-
citement pervaded Rock river for over one hun
dred miles.

~ The political principles Of the Rice
Convention as set forth in the proceed

following which constitutes, we regret
to say, the entire platform rendered to
our friend Mr.. Rice and which we still
more regret to state he accepted as q
satisfactory declaration Of principles for
the present time: tf.F
sResolred, That this Convention and
the people Of the Territory Of Minneso-
t., are fully sensible Of, and acknowl-
edge the eminent and important servi-
ces in the late Congress of the United
States, Of the Hon. HENRYM. RICE;
and knowing him to be representative
in whom the Democratic party can con-
,6de. as proper and able exponent Of
its principles, WE DO HEREBY NOMINATE
HIM AS THE DEMocRArIc CANDIDATE FOR
THE OFFICE Of DELEGATE IN CONGRESS
At THE COMING ELECTION; confident that
his efficiency, ability and influence will,
if elected, secure to the Territory such
legislation az the interests Of its citizens
require and demand.
