What the Palmettos think of Buch-

we nno, IN the Charlesion ). y.
Courier, Of the 18th, reply to Mr..
Rhett's manifesto. by Richard Yeadon
OF the same state. This production
possesses some interest. as showing
what they think about the effect Of Mr..
Buchanan's election on the freedom OF
Kansas and the spread Of Free Labor.
The portions Of the letter which We
have taken the liberty Of i.alicising. We
recommend to the special attention Of
those administration newspapers and
stump speakers in the North, who have
so periinaciously asserted through the
campaign that the success Of the So
called Democratic party would not be
favorable to slavery propagandism.
In the recent election Of President
and Vice President. the South has tri-
umphed over almost tho entire North

Indiana and New Jersey, has given

LovEJor.-Among the Republican
members Of Congress chosen in Him
ois, by triumphant vote. we are glad
to note the name Of Owen p. Lovejoy.
Nineteen years ago his brother. Rev.
Elijah P. Lovejoy was murdered
shot down--by the pro-slavery mob Of
Alton. while defending the freedom of
the press. Now, Owen Lovejoy,
maintaining the same principles for
which his brother was hunted down
and slain like beast Of prey, is elcc-
ted to Congress by 1000 majority.
What marvellous change in public
sentiment We venture the prediction
that Illinois will have no ADLER Repre-.
sentative than Owen Lovejoy.

Bleeding Kansas" I"

The pro-slavery demagogues who
feared the effect Of news from Kan
sas, before the election, pronounced il
all lie. BLEEDING Kansas" was.
with them, a phrase Of derision.-
Now that the election is over, and the
pro-slavery party has every thing in
its grasp, the suiferings Of Kansas are
real. Though late, We are glad that
they acknowledge the fact, We are
glad too. that they arc moving to-
wards relieving the sufferers. 1t is to
late to grant them real relief, by re-
moving the cause Of their troubles,
but not too late to afford temporary
reliof to the women and children Of that
down trodden territory. We copy the
following from the Washington Union
--one Of the papers that month ago
said all this cry about "Bleeding Kan
sas" were nero political lies;
An Earnest App cal for the Sufferers
in Kansas.
When we reflect upon the occurren.
ces in Kansas during the past Sum-
mer and Autumn. we cannot fail to
be deeply impressed with the condi-
ton Of her people during the coming
winter. Her settlements arel distant
from granaries and storehouses OF the
States. Had her settlers been permit
ted to plant and harvest undisturbed,
she could have produced but q small
portion Of. the provision necessary
for the Winter. But we know that
few planted and scarcely one harvest.
ed. lowing to the frightful disorders and
atrocities which filled the land. The
meats and breadstulfs Of Kansas are
limited TO more triaing quantities.
OF clothing. her domestic mauufac-
lures have produced none. Owing to
the distance Of transportation and its
hazards, the precariousness Of credit
and uncertainty of returns. provi-
sions and clothing are sparingly sent
to Kansas. and are held at enormous
prices. The few who can command
means 10 provide themselves for win.
ter do so at an appalling cost. But
what is to become of the thousands
who have neither means, credit, nor
friends ? With more than four
months Of winter before them, and
full eight before harvest, what is to
become Of such men and their help
less families ? They have not the
means to return to their former homes
and none to supply indispensable
wants where they are. IL the coming
winter partakes Of the severity Of the
past. hundred must perish by cold
and famine where one has fallen in the
recent civil war. Unless early and
efficient measures are adopted to
guard against famine in Kansas, no
one can foresee the fatal consequent
ces to which II may lead-first, in the
effort TO sustain and pro-
long life, and then in the work of
death itself. Without relief, the i'm
aginary scenes of the past may be-
come tragic history.

gence Of the arrival Of this little strar ger has
reached The mother is the wife Of Mr.. Lock,
Baker, 100 lie nple street, and the child, a
boy, is living, and was fortnight old on the
9Th ult. The ordinary head Of the child is OF
the natural size, and has a really beautiful
face: the superauous head projects from the
right side of it. and is about the size of a man s
fist. The child has four eyes, four ears, and
two mouths, but there is no chin to the smaller
head the mouth is deiormed, and the eyes

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. - Since the
course portion of the Americans have taken
ON the Presidential question, some Republi-
can papers are suggesting the nomination of
Gov. Gardner by the Republicans as candi-
date Tor Governor. We hope no such course
will be pursued by the Republican party, at
their State Convention, to be held on the 9th,
but that an independent candidate will be
nominated-one that can be supported ol the
office by ali the opponents of the present ad-
ministration party, We believe such course
to be the most judicious one that can be pur-
sued by the friends Of Fremont and freedom
in the State Greenfield Gazette,
This seems to be the feeling of all the Re.
publican press and people of the State, and it
finds much sympathy among the Fremont
Americans, who are much divided as to the
course to be pursued in State matters.-

We offer to our Republican friends few
suggestions as to getting up and conducting
their campaign meetings. Unless some meth
cd and forecast be observed, one half the meet
lngs may be failures.
FIRST then: Do not engage too many speak
ers. Two good, reliable ones, fixed and Sc.
cured for the occasion, with continent re-
serve of local aid, are quite enough for any
one meeting.
The calls are very great, and no supernum-
erares should be engaged.
Second :eSecu1e your speakers first, and let
them fix the time; otherwise you will involve
them in confusion, and yourselves in disap-
pointment.
THIRD: If your speakers are from abroad
see that provision is made for compensation,
al least expenses. Remember, it is a sacrifice
to leave family, home, business, and travel
night and day, pay fare and hotel bills Thou
shall not muzzle the OK that treadeth out the
corn" Remember, there are many Of you,
and you sacrifice for one meeting. Your
speakers are in the daily sacrifice of time, bus
mess, lungs and constitution.
Fourth: If your gatherings are too large
for in doors, then select grove or woods.
Alaoays erect a speakers stand, and see that it
is covered with boards (not canvass. Itsayes
the speakers voices and helps the audience
to hear. Let your covering boards project
, three or four feet beyond the platform
ON which the speaker stands, then you will
be sure to protect his voice. This arrange
nent may seem of small moment to you, but
it is of immense moment to the speaker.
FIFTH: If possible, in every gathering ar
range for some good soul stirring GLEE
SONGS. Let your Glee Clubs be made up of
male and female singers. Take care that the
songs sung are not buffoonery and trash. Let
them be such as have soul in them.
+ Sixth Never fail Of inviting your wives,
daughters and sisters. Their presence aad re-
filming influence are everywhere being felt in
our meetings The wrongs of Kanzas stir
Woman heart to its center.
Serenth Don't waste too much money
on banners, powder and professions, but
rather save it for documents and papers.

MUNIFICENT DoNATIoN.-Thomas Dowse, of
Cambridgeport, has presented his valuable libra
ry of more than five thousand volumes to the
Massachusetts Historical Society. This library
has long been known to literary as one re-
markable for the great proportion of rich, rare,
and valuable works which it contains, and which
have been selected with great Judgment and taste,
during period of more than fifty years, in which
Mr. Dowse has been making the collection. Coy.
Everett says, that, i'll proportion to the number
of volumes, ii is the best library he has seen.
Mr.. Dowse is mechanic over so years of age,
bachelor, and has worked at his trade during his
life up to the present time, and yet has found time
to read his books, as but few private libraries are
read The library is to be kept in room by itself
to be called the " Dowse Library" and the books
are to be used only in that room

WoMAN's RIGHTs.-The Rock ISLANDER,
western paper, says one of the Mormon women
who was in the company of the late crowd
which has passed through that town for Salt
Lake, had no less than four husbands. She

She contended that women have as good
right to have number of husbands as man

yided the men were all members of the Nor
mon Church. There is nothing like making
circumstances suit occasions, and these Nor
mons appear to have a peculiar faculty for
such transactions.
