THE "WHIPPY swAMPERs."

We have with some assiduity examined the
map of the nation of South Carolina, to learn
if haply we might find "Whippy Swamp" laid
down thereon, but that search has been Crnitless.
The ungrateiul topographer to whose labors we
are indebted for a geographical! picture of the ter
ritory of this republic and that of the aforesaid
nation, has passed by "Whippy Swamp" in igno.
minious silence. If geography has been silent
not so the muse of history. Perhaps some of our
readers may remember that, on the 18th of july,
1896, a young gentleman aged twelve years sent
up from "Whip2y Swamp" a challenge to the ec-
feet that che would whip Summers son-if there
were such an individual of the proper age-iust
as Brooks whipped that sons daddy; but rs MIR.
Sumner is q bachelor there was mo young indi-
vidual of the proper age" and the challenge met
with no response. But valor yet remaine,h in
'Wh!ppy Swamp" and The Charleston Meycury
gives great prominence to the proceedings at their
recent celebration of the GLORIOUS Fourth, doubt
less as a model of that chivalrous outspoken spir.
it for which the Palmetto State has been celebrat-
ed ever since the occupation of Charleston by the
English.
The celebration appears to have been under
the particular direction of "Beot Company No. 4
LOper battalion l5M Regiment s CAN, but what
beat company it may be or by whom beaten the
unfaithful chronicler saith not. The orator of the
occasion-this was n Democratic celebration
was a Mr.. Rayson, n member of the BEAT Com
et preteyea Mill. OF course the
crisis adjourned by the South's success in o~lecting
Mr.. buchanan, from 1855 to 1860, when the last
stand is to be made and every "Whippy Swamper''
is to march up to Mason q Dixon's Line with his
cofin-of the requisite size on his back, as in n
former day they were to march up to 54o40/
under the auspices of Mr.. Polk, of y%alorous mem.
DRY.
After the speech came the toasts, of course, a
few of which we transcribe for the edifcation of
our readers. These first were volunteer toasts
"The fourth of July: A day sacred to liberty,
talked of elswberc, but enjoyed here alone.
Gen. Bonhon, successor Of Brooks Able to lash
with tongue and hand, may he keep in mind the
achievement of his predecessor, and when argu.
ment has failed, to wipe out every stain attempted
to be thrown upon the people or Institutions Of the
South by the magic aid of a cowhide.
Our next President May Fred. Douglas tn,
black negro champion, be nominated by the Nortl
for our next President. Abolitionists ought then
to be satisfied, and the South surely reused from
her iethargy."
Then followed the regulars which as in an ar.
my did more terrible execution than the skirmish.

Thomas Jefferson Davis followed in this
strain
"To the Orator of the Day Though young and
in bloom, | hope that a few years will bring him to
cane Sumner, standing, sitting, or lying"
The following very pointed and classic toast
must end our quotations for the day:
BY James O'Connell:
MAY the Orator of the Day DO able to make a
fuss in Congress yet"
And such were some of the doings and sayings
at "Wbippy Swamp" OH the 4th July, 1857,
which as faithful chroniclers of the times we lay
before our readers as examples of chivalry not tC
be questioned, coming as they do from the foun
tain head-the land of the Palmetto, the heaC
quarters Of the Democratic" forces.-IiH. Gdz
