II appears that although publicly an
nounced we are not to have this ire.eating
Souiherner among US as lecturer The
Lecture committee at Chicago, who was to
have supplied his services having received
letter rem him Withdrawing his engage
melt as a lecturer in the West. II seems
/ that Mr.. Smms was announced in New
York City for two Lectures. The first was
attended b, about one hundred persons and
the last BY Asrteea. so Mr.. Smms cocniu-
ded that either lecturing was not his forte
Of that the people ef the North could not
appreciate South Carolina talent, and very
wisely has concluded to discontinue his lee
lures. As MIR. Simns could not And mar
kei for his productions in the Moth, OF
course he did the very wises, thing in early
withdrawing from the field and leaving 1t
10 be occupied by ADLER men, men whose
sentiments coincide better with the people
among whom he sought to introduce opin
ions concec,ed in the hotbcd OF disunion.
South Carolina is fast acquiring an IN
ensiable reputation by the efforts she is ma
! king to COMM. political suicide in with.
drawing from the confeoeraey, Under the
eoiing that she is seeking to propagate in
he Union, she is preparing heritage Of
nfamy for her sons. An honorable man
Nill soon deem it a disgrace to be consider.
(
81 Simms' Lectures the New York Timss
says;--
Mr.. Simms. We observe, complains that
prejudice has preceded his lectures" on
South Carolina and rs he does not wish TO
address "unruly audiences OF empty bench
IS, he discontinues them. Mr. Simms we
are confident, has no ground tor his com
paint. He has Lot met an "unruiy audi
enoe," since he has been North. He has
ben heard with attention and respect,
wherever he has spoken. The press has
criticised his lectures sharply, but certain
| Ii be has no right TO complain of that II
he enters the lists be must be prepared TO
receive blows as we'll as give them.
That Mr.. Simms has had small audiences
| may be very true; but it is more compla
cent than just TO charge this to the 'preiu-
q &c" excited against him. 1t is probably
dae TO lack Of general interestin the sub
Jet possibly. in some degree, TO lack Of
interest in the lecturer himself.
One thing Mr.. Simms must coneede; the
prejudice be thinks be has encountered here
has manifested itself in a much milder and
more innocent form than rreludces on the
other side are apt to take in South Carolina
or even in Washington. Senator Sumner
took one side oi the question which Mr.
Simms presents. and was savagely beaten
upon the head by a representative from
South Carolina, who has been reelected
and loudly applaudad therefor. Mr. Simms
takes the other side, and talks 10 empty BEN
ehes. We presume he will agree with Us
in considering the treatment he receives
the more civil OF the two.

from our business centres 10 our northern,
eastern and western boundaries, and also 10
the railrosd station, so that the spectacle
shall not be presented IN future Of wagons
with ordinary loads being stalled before oui
doors, and pedestrians perpifxed BY The
snpersbnndancf Of mud.
