Biographical.
GOV. ROBERT Y. HAYNE.

This eloquent orator and eminent
statesman, so long and favorably
known, as such, throughout the coun-
try, was born near Charleston, South
Carolina, on the 10th of Nov, 1791.-
Mr.. Hayne is an example, added to
many others, of what may be accom-
lplished without the aid of academies
and colleges. His early education was
obtained at the grammar schools in the
city Of Charleston his later training
was in the school of life, where 1.-THE
clink of mind against mind" strikes
out those brighter intellectual sparks
which illumine the world, and reflect
glory from the brow of genius
At the age Of seventeen, young
Hayne entered the Office of Langdon
Cheeves, a distinguished jurist and
lawyer of South Carolina, and, after
the usual course Of reading, commenc-
ed the practice of law in Charleston.
On a requisition ofthe general govern
ment on South Carolina for regiment
to defend the southern seaboard, at the
opening of the war of 1912, Mr.. Hayne
volunteered his services, and entered
the army as lieutenant, and served in
various grades to the termination of
the term of his enlistment, when, hav-
ing received an honorable discharge,
he returned to Charleston, and resum-
ed the practice of his profession, in
which he soon became prominent.
Starting with no patrimony, such
was the success of our youthful law
yer, that, at the end of few years, he
found himself blessed with a compe-
tency. His remarkable powers as an
orator soon brought him into political
notoriety ; and, as early as 1914, he
was elected member of the House of
the State Legislature, and, in 1918, he
was chosen speaker Of that body, an
office which he filled with remarkable
dignity and promptitude for one SO
young. During the same session, he
was appointed Attorney General to the
State, being but twenty-seveny years Of
|age. In 1922, he was elected a mem
ber of the United States Senate, which
Office he retained for ten years. y 2t.-e
1t was during the latter part Of. his
second term that the notification diff
culties arose between South Carolina
and the United States, in which Cen
eral Hayne took SO prominent and con-
spicuous position, and which we need
not here enlarge upon, as it is fresh in
the memory Of all our readers. In
1882, he was elected member of the
famous "Union and States Rights Con-
vention," and, as chairman of "the
committee of t,renty-ome," he reported
the Ordinance Of Publication, which
was adopted by the Convention, and
filed the whole country with alarm
and apprehension for the safety Of the
Union. He was Immediately chosen
Governor of the State, and, on the re-
Iceipt Of President Jackson's famous
proclamation against the nulliiiers Of
South Carolina, Governor Hayne sent
forth counter proclamation, full Of
lofty defiance and determined resolu-
tion.' After much angry discussion,
plotting, and contemplating, forte
nately for the country those difficul-
ties were arranged without bloodshed
or disunion. In 1891, he was elected
mayor of the city Of Charleston, and,
in 1887, President of the Charleston.

Sentimental.

Never look above you until you arr
secure of the ground on which you
move.
BE content to keep within your sta
ton, and adorn it by the virtues which
it's duties require. ta
Consider the wise as the most hon
orable part of society, and the virtu
Gus as the wisest.
Dcspise the vanities Of that pride
which seeks its qualification in q con
tempt of moral decorum.
Make your heart your happiest
home, and you will always be in the
best company for your thoughts
will never drive you into dissipation
by self:reproach.
A family without proper government
is like house without q roof-expos
cd to every wind that blows or, it
might rather be said, like house in
flames, which is commonly a scene ot
confusion, and too hot to live in.
If you wish to shake off trouble,
set about doing good to somebody
Go and visit the sick and poor Of the
neighborhood inquire into their cir.
cumstances, and minister to theil
wants. Seek out the desolate, and
oppressed, and tell them Of the conso
lations Of religion.
A good daughter There may be
other ministers of love more conspic
uous than she, but none in which a
gentler, lovelier spirit dwells, and
none to which the hearts warm requi
tails more joyfully respond. A good
daughter is the steady light of her pa
rents house.
The hypocrite is one that neither !!
what he seems, nor seems what he is He
is hated by the world for seeming a
Christian, and by God for not being
one. On earth, he is the picture of 9
saint but in eternity the paint viii
all be washed of, and he will appear
at the judgment in his own colors, and
ulb OWL uciOImiJy.
The patriarch Abraham gave one
tenth Of all his possessions to religious
uses and SO did Jacob and many
others of the Old Testament saints
and it is worthy of notice that tn.
Jews, who as nation gave more II
religious purposes than any other peo
pie, were as nation more prosperous
and wealthy than any other that eve
existed. !, Even the heathen-the Ara
bians, according to Pliny and thu
Grecians, according to Xenophon ant
Herodotus gave no less than q tent
part of every thing to sacred uses
Shall the Christian do less for his Goo
than did the Jews under the old dis
pensation, or the heather, even?
Home 'Tis sweet word. VIII,

described, yet strongly conceived ; thu

force, as subdues all within the rang

Youthful RecollectionS.
Br O. G. BRISTOL.
Sweet the thought of other days,
Scenes once loved to us revealing
Sweet as music's melting lays,
On the ear at twilight stealing.
When the bloom of youth has fled,
Passed its scenes of joy and gladness;
When the world to us is dead,
And our hearts are filled with sadness -
Then the thought of pleasures past,
Calling childhoods s scenes before us
Hath charm around us cast,
And its joys again brought FER US.
Great cnchantress, Memory, rise,
Drop thy magic curtain round me,
And before my raptured eyes,
Bring the spell which oft hath bound me
Rapt in visions, on my sight,
Lo! the scenes of youth are breaking,
Like the suns resplendent light,
From his orient slumbers waking.
Yes, my home, see thee now,
By those well known hills surrounded,
Hills, from whose romantic brow,
Echo oft her trump hath sounded.
There the sheltering hills between,
Spring, with rosy colored fingers,
Early spreads her robe Of green,
And there long the summer fingers
Sweet the stream that babbles by,
Through the verdant meadow straying;
Oh, how happy once was I,
In its crystal waters playing!
Smiling was the verdant green,
Where at early eve hasted,
All unconscious then, ween,
Of the joys my boyhood tasted. 'r
Loved companions of my plays,
Ye from whom now am parted,
Think yc not Of those bright days,
Days of hopes and Joys depsrtedl
Strangers now, with careless feet,
Tread those consccrated places;
Other playmates now shall meet,
Where we met, with smiling faces.

Matters at Washington.

The Cleveland Ptaindealer administers some
plain truths to the rnprincipled factions which
now bear rule in the lower House Of Congress
which cannot be read too atteutively:
The 18th of August has been fixed upon by
both Houses; as the day for Adjournment.
Good. This Fusion Congress has now
been in session t,oo hundred & thirty .fce days,
and what has it done? Nothing but wrangle
about dog fights and personal brawls' matters
with which the American congress has nothing
to do They have spent their time and the
peoples money in trying to build up sccti-
onal party to rule the Union. They have
made bunkum speeches and flooded the land
with incendiary documents, calculated to allie
nate portions of the Republic, and have thus
spread broadcast. disunion sentiments, which
neither time or civil war must oblteate.
The Fugitive Slave Law has not been repea-
,edY The Naturalization Laws have not been
amended!
Slavery has not been abolished in the Dis
trict of Columbia!
The Nebraska act is still in being!
No proposition has been brought forward
bv the Black Republicans to do any OF these
tb;nps promised before the election.
They have lied to tue people, and those
Fpsion members of Congress will soon be
home with new batch of falSehoods to hide
the old
They have voted away the public lands to
Railroad corporations and other specuiations'
to the almost total exclusion of actuatsettiers-
The result will show session. OF little else
than useless termoil aud endless extravaganza
Its like we hope never to see again

THE WHEELBARRow MAN.-Col. Fremont
is commended to the Northern Republicans as
marvellous proper man for President chiefly
because he had explored and mapped the
Rocky Mountains
Some years ago man started from the At
lantic States with wbeelbarrow, and trudg-
ed all the way to California over those same
Rocky Mountains. Now we should like to
know on what principles of justice the claims
Of the original wheelbarrow man were over
looked at Philadelphia?
Besides, if men are to be made Presidents
because they are good travellers, Steeprock,
the Indian, has pre-emptionary claim to the
Philadelphia nomination, justice, too, should
have been done to the man that walked
thousand miles in thousand hours " 7.

More of it.

The Pen Yam (N. Y Democrat publishes
an extract from letter written by gss,.le-
man residing in st Louis, Missouri, who is
intimate with Col Brans, the brother-in law
of Col. T. II. Benton, where Col. Fremont
stops when in that city. He says:
"That Col. Fremont is Catholic no one
who is acquainted with him will deny
Whenever he is ia this city he, without any
concealment whatever. attends the Catholic
church he was baptized and christcued In
that faith; he was married by Catholic cler-
gyman, and the Bishop. (the Right Rev. DR.
Condrick ) to my certain knowledge, is bis
spiritual adviser and daily visitor whenever
he has been sick or confined TO his bed at the
house of Col. Brant, where he is in the habit
Of making his home while he is in the city.
Col. Brant is u particular friend of mine. /
visit his house frequently. He is man of
great wealth, and married as you know, sis
ter of Col 7. II. Benton, who also makes it
as his home there since Mrs Benton decease
Col. Fremont's sister, who is the wife of an
officer in the army. is also Catholic was ed
ucated in Catholic convent, and. so far as
MY knowledge extends. all his family and
kinsmen are Catholics.
within the past yearI have had occasion
to transact business with, and frequently been
at the house of Col. Brant. and several of the
Iolncstics have been from time to time, poin-
ted out to me as the slaves of Col Fremont,
and these are not all either. as be owns many
others, male and female, hiredout in various
parts Of the city"

The Footsteps of Disunion.

Disunion has berun its fearful march under
the most appalling circumstances The worst
apprehensions of the Father Of mis- Country
seem to be on the eve of realization. What
ever NAV be the issue of the present struggle.
it will require bold craftsmanship to restore
confidence between divided sections and disin-
tegrated confederacies. A geographical dis
tinction has oeen erected within an Incredibly
short period of time and on eithar side fierce
resentments have been kindled. and fearful
doctrines are advocated. Thousands of men
in the North assal the whole people of the
South with language Of menace and of insult
such as no American has ever vet employed
against the worst despotism of the old world
The work of the foreign enemies ofour Re-
public has been taken out of their hands by
men who declare themselves native-horn
and falsehoods which no British writer has
ever dared TO urge and fahricate are hurled
against our country. Such are among the
plain footsteps of Disunion. -Norrfsto~n Re

E- The following article which copy
from the Martinsburg (Va. Republican, con-
| tains about as much truth, as can be com
pressed in the same space. We heartily en-
dorse every syllable and word Of it, and com
| mend 1T &c the attention of our readers;
Parties to the Contest.
He Must indeed be wilfully blind who can
not see that the Democratic party is the only
national party in the country Know-Noth-
ingisn claimed for itself, some months ago,
nationality, did have as the basis of its
organization, national platform, so far as
the slavery question was concerned-but a
portion of the platform has long since been
spit upon, repudiated and deserted by the
northern wing of that party. They have in
fact, deserted in body the Know-Nothing
organization and now stand enrolled under
the banner of Black Republicauism. This
grand stampede leaves nothing of Know-No-
thiugisn except a mere corporals guard In the
South-too Insignificant 10 accomplish any
good, but by possibility may do great harm
by the aid and comfort which their distinct
organization will afford to Northern Adolf
tionism.
The Black Republican party. which by the
way is the only party with which the Democ-
racy will have to contend in the coming bat
tie, is of course a sectional party. 1t knows
no South, except to rob her Of her property.
1t repudiates the Constitution and would let
the Union slide rather than to allow any op-
portnnity to pass unimproved of 'trampling on
our rights. 1t processes, in its crusade upon
the South, to be governed by a law higher
than the Constitution, and mocks religion it
self by calling to their aid the scriptures to
sanction their unholy deed 1t is this miser-
able fanatical party-the great northern party
OF the country-In point of numbers by no
means sigaiicant-which threatens the ex-
istence of the Union. 1t is this party, not
the hnow-Nothing party, that is regarded
with SO much dread aud alarm by the friends
of liberty
If it is defeated in the coming contest, it
must be defeated by the great national Demo
cratic party II sectionalism, against which
we were so earnestly warned by the Father of
his Country, is to be broken up, that duty de-
wolves upon the Democratic party. No other
party in this country, as parties now stand
can accomplish this task. 1t is all folly and
nonsense 10 talk about the nationality of Know
Nothingism, or its ability to accomplish any
good m the present alarming condition of
things. 1t is in hopeless minority in the
south, and has not even foothold at the
north. Is not this palpable fact? Is there
man so blinded by prejudice as not to per-
ceive that the rights of the south and the per-
petuity of the Union can alone be perpetuated
aud preserved by the Democratic party? If
this be so, is it not then the duty OF all true
patriots. without regard to former party dis
tinctions, to come forward aud enroll them
selves under the only true national banner,
and by voting for Buchanan. prove that they
regard the claims of country higher than those
Of parry.
