Owing to this circumstance, [ am placed

that party from firm conviction of their

would be a call, and knew nothing about
it until [ read it in the Telegraph | am
believing him to be sound upon all those
great questions which involve the safety
and perpetuity of our great confederacy.
He has been tried, and has proven himself
equal to any emergency; and because he
is the nominee of the American party, it
does not render him any the less honest OF
capable, and in the absence of nominee
of my own party, L shall give him my
most hearty support.

VIVA SENATOR HALE HATES PRESIDENT
PIERoE.-A Washington letter gives the
Glowing explana ton of the bitter personal
enmity of John ?. Hale, the Abolition lea
der in the Senate, towards the President:
Hale's speech in the Senate, in answer to
the Presidents imputations upon the mo-
tives of the majority of northern voters, pzo-
duced strong impression. 1t was bitterly
personal, but no man has had greater pro-
vocation for invective than the New Hamp-
shire Senator, whose influence at home with
the Democratic party was crushed by the
efforts OF Mr.. Pierce. 1t is said that when
Hale, then Democratic member of Con-
gress, stood out against the annexation of
Texas, his enemy rode sixty miles at night,
in chaise, to prevent the Democratic pa-
per, of the following day, from taking sides
with his INSTRUMENTATION.

~ We have omitted to acknowledge
sooner the receipt of the Report of the Sec
rotary of the Navy, Mr.. Dobbin, transmit
ted to us at the time the Presidents Mes
sage was sent in to Congress. The Secre-
tary recommends the construction of addi-
tional sloops-of-war, maintains the abolition
of corporal punishment, and recommends
an increase of the Marine corps and of Sea-
men to ten thousand men. A large portion
of the Report is given to the discussion of
the action of the late Naval Board, which
he thinks ought to be sustained; but urges
that in special cases where officers have
been unjustly treated, they should be re-
stored.

PUBLIC WHIPPING.-The Charleston Mercury
speaks of the punishment of two white men by
public whipping, few days ago, in that city,
under the criminal laws of South Carolina and
enters protest against such mode of punish
ment "because the exhibition is one which no
man can ever witness without feeling that its
effect must be dcmoralizing." We admit that it
is ugly mode of Punish,nent, but if there exists
a human being who can by witnessing its infic-
ton, become ambitious of becoming the hero of
such scene, or be made a worse man by looking
upon it, he must be one upon whom no example
or punishment, however severe, will have any
effect. The effect, We think, must be sautary
with oil except that small class of individuals
whom reformatory influence can ever reach.
We do not wish to be understood as advocating
that mode of punishment. We design to speak
only of what We believe must be its influence
upon those who witness it.
