ry, bemoaning all the time that the black
curse cannot be difused quite over the on
ly free Republic on earth.
The Charleston Mercury of the Sth con.
tains the usual annual instalment of Fourth
of July fury and fanafronade. First is the
"Fourth of July Celebration by Beat Com
pany No. 4. Lower Battalion, 18th Regi-
ment of S. G. NJ" The exercises were be-
gun with prayer and closed with toasts.-
We clip few of the latter, that Northern
readers may see how the two run together
"down South.,' First from the regulars y
{. Hon. P. S. Brooks-Though dead,
yet liveth in the hearts of tht sons of Car
olina.
6. Gen. Banham, successor of Brooks
Able to lash with tongue and hand, may
he keep in mind the achievement of his
predecessor, and aohen argument has fail
ed, wipe out every stain attempted to be
thrown upon the people or institutions of
the South by the magic aid of coa0hide.
8. Savery-An institution which the
wants of society keep in existence: negroes
in the South and white slaves in the North.
9. The Fourth Of July-A day sa-
cred to liberty, talked of elsewhere, but en-
joyed here alone.
IL. Our next President: May Fred.
Douglas, the black negro champion, be
nominated by the North for our next Pres
ident. Abolitiouists ought then to be sat-
isfed, and the South surely reused from
her lethargy.
Volunteer specimens:
By WIN. KARRER-The hemp crops of
Kansas ought to be applied in a domestic
way, to hang Free State agitators in the
Territory.
By ]. D. JoNEs-A Southern Confed
eracy: The time has come when the South
must look to herself May she break loose
all ties with Yankeedon, and form herself
a Slaveholding Confederacy.
By BARNES LIVINGSTON, JR.-Hon. l..
NJ. Bonham, Member of Congress from
Edgefeld: May ,,he supply himself with
a cane, named after his predecessor, of suf
fcient strength and size to beat, whenev-
er his country's rights demand it, all Abo-
ltionists from the Government seat at
Washington.
By DIR. JOSEPH MINN1K1EN- Northern
men with Southern principles we meet as
friends; but Abolitionists we salute with
a good coat of the inside of pine and the
outside of goose with lighted lucifer
match stuck to it,
By H. F. SALLY-Equality and the
Union, or Disunion and the Sword.
The Mercury of the 9th contains "The
Celebration of the Fourth by the Fleabite
Company, in St. Mathews Parish" The
same course" Prayer, Declaration, Ora
ton, Dinner, Drinks and Toasts. Three
specimens of the latter will suffice for the
"Fleabites::"
By DR.. NJ. K. HoLMAN-Gen. Bonham
May his arguments in oposition to North
ern fanaticism be as striking as those of
his late predecessor.
By CAPT. D. R. JAMIsoN-The only
Union that we want, is the union of the
South to dissolve her connection with the
North.
By DIR. J. C. HoLMAN-Free Suffrage:
A right we ought to have and will have.
This last has pith and point. Poor
white men in South Carolina don't count
as much at the polls as the niggers of ar
ristocrats! "Fleabite Company proba-
bly, poor whites covered with feas! At
any rate the traitorous authors of all the
toasts quoted, except the last, deserve to be
bitten to death by them.
