CHARTER OAK
Life Insurance Company,
HARTFORD, CONN.
CHI ARTER PERP TUAL.
100000 CAPITAL.

MYTH large surplus, securely invested
Comptroller of Public Accounts, of the State
Of Connecticut.
This company has also complied with the
very cautious and stringent laws of this State,
in relation to foreign Insurance Companies.
1t was incorporated by the Legislature of
the State of Connecticut, in May, 1850, with =
PERPETUAL CHARTER, and commenced bust
ness on . capital of two hundred Thousand
dollars; the Who'll. of which has been invested
in securities of the highest character.
Those who contemplate making life insur-
ances, should, first of all, satisfy themselves
Of tho character and stability of the Company
they may select. The interest of the assured
in the stability and permanent prosperity Of a
Company, in the security and certainty that it
will fulfill its engagements, is of incompsra-
bly, greater Importance than the trihing saring
that may be made by p,ying inadequate pre-
miums.
The principle of Life In,urance is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates of pre-
niums that can be adopted, and afford requis-
ite security to the insured and perpetuity to
the institution.

OF GEN. MCQUEEN.

Hon. JOHN Mcqueen, in declining an invitation
to attend the Celebration of the 4th of July, at
Bishopyille takes occasion to express his views on
the most important political topics of the day
As the opinion Of our representatives is matter
of importance, we make few extracts from this
letter, and regret that we cannot make them long
er 1t will be seen that his views correspond with
those of Hon. L. NJ. KEITT.
"There was not Northern State, at the forma-
ton of this Government, which gave to the United
States single foot of land, and there has not been
foot obtained since, except from Mexico, which
was not subject to our institutions. OF the Mexi-
can territory we have already been robbed; vast
part of Texas We have been made to purchase with
our money, to wipe off our own institutions and
make it freesoi, I'D strengthen the hand of our
viest enemies; 0I the Louisiana territory we have
almost been deprived, and that by n law of Con-
gressional legislation, though utterly at war with
the letter and spirit of the constitution and so now
declared by the highest tribunals in the country !;
and in all this we have effectually, if not quietly
acquiescei for nearly forty years, until seemingly
by returning sense of justice, we have had pla-
ced upon our statute books repeal of the act call
ed compromise (gross misnomer of unjust tyran-
N.Y. by which we have been cheered with the hope
that, after long delay, we have had stain and
fostering wound wiped from our character, as well
as our rights in some degree restored.
In this state of things we are told by many that
never have The laws of the land been so plenary
and favorable to for the security and protection
of our ghts and property and that under the in
fuence of the same political party who accomp-
lshed this last Legislation they will remain secure.
Would that could say to you, 1 am satisfied of
this, or that could see before US such happy
prospect; but truth demands l should say, l am
for, far from it. Laws avail nothing when they
are not maintained, and who does not know that
not one act protecting our rights on the subject Of
slavery for the last six years, has not been resist
ed in blood, and with but one exception, without
the slightest punishment of those who offend? In
executing the fugitive slave law, mere amplih-
cation Of the letter of the Constitution, officers
have been murdered in open day, and none have
been punished for it indeed it has become yir-
tue in most places in the North to violate and
trample it under foot and never will it be carried
out to any profitable extent.
\
The great conflict must be met in 1860, and no
living man can tell the result. have no fears
for our safety il We are true to ourselves. The

Revival among the Baptists.

The Rev. J. NJ C. Breaker, of Beaufort, s. c.,
writes to the Southern Baptist an account of re-
vival there, in progress, from which we take the
following:
On Sunday last, the 18th instant, I had the plea
sure of baptizing in our beautiful "Jordan," and
in the presence Of thousands of interested speeta
tors, two hundred and twenty three rejoicing con.
verts. Three of these were white. The most Of
these conversions are the fruits Of the revival
which has been prevailing among our colored peo-
pie for the last FIVE or six months, and which was
commenced and has been carried on chiefly
through the efforts of the church ITSELF
Since this interest commenced, that is, within
the last three months, I have baptized three hum
dred and fifty persons, including thirty-seveu at
Husper, where there is branch Of our church,
and where preach and administer the ordinances
four times in the year.
viii only add, that the baptism though per-
formed with all due deliberation, occupied only
an hour and FIVE minutes. This is nearly four in
q minute. And thus we have it actually demon
strated, (which our Pedobaptist friends would do
we'll to notice. that the threethousand on the day
of Penticost could easily have been baptised by
the twelve Apostles-each taking two hundred
and fifty, in an hour and thirteen minutes!

THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 80, 1857.
TO THE PUBLIC.

The relations sustained by the undersigned rs
Co.Editor and Proprietor of the ENQUIRER cease
with the present number. During the present
wear these have in the main been nominal other
and more urgent obligations demanding larger
measure of attention than is compatible with a
proper discharge of the editorial Office. Ihese
obligations still requiring undivided care It's due
to myself and those with whom II have been asso-
c;ated to announce, for a time at least, formal
withdrawal
/ need not say that THE course has been taken
reluctantly and with great regret; not only DE-
cause it closes professional life which has been
almost uniformly pleasant and profitable out es'
neciallv, because it involves, in great measure,
! n separation from those with whom have heia
relations of the most intimate personal and pro-
fessional friendship. During the period in which
| we have been associated as co-workers IN the
buildiny-up of the ENQUIRER, not single incident
| has occurred to mcr the most agreeable inter-
course; and would, oversteppng, perhaps the
bounds of strict propriety hut giving an earnest
| expression to heartfelt sentiment, render 70
| Publisher ss we'll as ProprietoS that genuine tri-
bute which grateful feeling prompts US to &C.
cord TO every one whose bearing has been, un'n-
terruptedly, that of the gentleman and the tr'ena'
| The tasks which we undertook were heavy ana
full of perl-eucumbered by conditions which, not
unfreouently result in personal estrangement; but
constant and earnest endeavor, accompanied ny
mutual forbearance and sustained by the heartily
bestowed patronage of on intelligent community,
has enabled US to lft-up our enterprise above the
reach of contingency, and given to rs the gratinE
cation which ever attends sure, substantial, anu
stead-fast success. The ENQUIRER is now an e'-
tablisAsd paper; and take leave Of its columns
with the pleasing reflection that, favored oy 'he
continued support Of an enghtned and generous
| people, it maybe made the pride and ornament OF
the District, working faithfullyn the development
of her resources and contributing weightlly TO her
moral, social and religious advancement
| Tn reviewing the progress of our labors, an
impressed with the conviction that the editorial
columns have contained much that might well
have remained unwritten; but at the same time
T am conscious that our course has been control
led by no motive more commanding than an earn
est desire to promote the wel-being of our native
District: and if this end has been attained may
hope that the indiscretions which have marked
our efforts will be overlooked and forgotten
tits not improbable, that hereafter, circumstan-
ces may again devolve upon me the proprletorsh'p
and editorial control of the paper. Trusting that
such professional reunion with them may be
within my power, beg to extend to my brethren
of the Press, and the kind friends of the ENou1R-
Err, grateful and heartfelt ddieu.
