trate. In doing so, let US see to it, that we pre-.
sent the claims Of no one who would simply shine
in the borrowed light that ~encirles this elevated
position, but such an one as would from ability
and distinguished reputation, be an ornament to
it and preserve and faithfully represent its dig
nifty. South Carolina has ever been ready to rscog-
nize the claims Of her worthy sons, and with all
a mothers fondness, evinced a disposition to pro-
mote them to posts Of honor, dignity and trust.
Well and nobly have they illustrated in their lives
and character, her past history, and there is yet
no cause to indulge vague apprehensions for the
future. 1t is this that constitutes her greatness,
and entities her to such proud rank in this great
sisterhood Of States. II e wish to preserve it,
need not be told that the best guarantee for
it's preservation, is t. continue to select such men
as our rulers. =
Taking it, then: to be 8 conceded point that the
up-ocuntry is entitled to the next Governorship,
we would most respectfully mention in this con-
~nection, the name Of Col. THOMAS N. DAwKIss.-
His ability and eminent qualifications for the post
no comment. His elevated tone and sem
timsnt, his lofty bearing, and gentlemanly de-
are thoroughly Carolinian, and the State
in houoring him would but honor herself.

MIR. BOYCE's p o

The Report of our Representative, from the Sc
lect Committee on the Tariff, is every where nllu-
ded to in terms of the highest compliment; 1t is
generally regarded as one of the ablest efforts of
the session. A copy Of the document entire has
not yet reached us; we then, therefore, do no
more this week than publish q short synopsis:
The Report takes ground that the protective
policy should be entirely abandoned. and resort as
early as practicable to direct taxation as o mea-
sure of economy. Articles. of prime necessity
should be taxed at the lowest rate of duty, and the
burden thrown as much as possible on Injuries.
The navigation laws should be so modified as not
to require any portion Of the officers and crews Of
American ships to,AsAmerisp seamen. and that
American, citizens should be freeto purchase and
sail foreign built ships, on entire equality with
American built ships, and the American coasting
trade should be open on the terms of perfect equali-
ty to foreign vessels.
The committee say that they do not entertain
the hope that they can inaugurate this new policy
now. Such radical changes must be the work OF
time. They do not, therefore, look so much to
immediate practical results rs to the effect on pub
lie opinion, and thus ultimately insure the triumph
of the principles they advocate. "

Union. He must soon be gathered to his fathers,
but he works on as though determined to die in
harness: I believe he would undertake another
trip to California Tomorrow, if he thought bis
journey there would do any good. 1t is touching
to see how old and young look up to and yenerate
him.
He is now in the sixtieth year of his ministry,
having entered the travelling connection January,
1893. He was a member Of the first delegated
General Conference, C1SO8,) and drew up the Re-
~strictive Rules as they now stand in the Discipline.
We believe he is the only surviving member OF that
General Conference.
He has exercised the Office Of n Bishop longer
than any other General Superintendent Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in America. He was
ordained in 1924, and has, therefore, exercised his
functions thirty-four years.
Since his ordination the following Bishops have
passed away, viz: McKendree, George, Emery
Roberts, Hedding, Bascom, Capers and Waugh
His mind is still vigorous, and his attachment for
the Church Of. his choice unabated. May God yet
spare this venerable man as o worthy example to
his younger brethren"

THE GENERAL

This body adjourned on Tuesday, last week,
after o session of twelve days. In reading over
the proceedings, We find nothing which requires
special mention! The Rev. DR.. Howe, as princi
pal, and Rev. DR.. ~TKonxwRsL, as alterIate, were
appointed delegasesato> the Associate Reformed
Synod of. the South. On the sixth day. the CEN
teunial anniversary of the, synods of New York
and Philadelphia was celebrated, and Rev. DR..
VAN REsssElAEn delivered the historical dis
course. We extract q paragraph:
The origin Of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States was stated to be Scotch-Irish. The
tidal waves Of persecution had alternately swept
over the shores Of both these islands Of the Old
World, transferring from one to the other the
seed of the church, and finally sending across the
Atlantic, men whose geneaology ran back to both
Irish and Scotch roots. Hence came the sturdy
men who subdued the wilderness and planted the
standard of civil and religious freedom on the
shores of q new continent,
We have before announced that the Assembly
will hold the next session in indianapolis, in May

know the good people thereof were hospitaoie;
and we were especially certain thatthe ladies--bless
their good souls--were generous enough, ana

And, after al, we were the genuine prophet. Just
like them, the ladies determined that the ESouI-

the measure gloriously. The good cheer was pleu-

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
New YORK, MAY %, 1853.


Indignation at the late numerous aggressions by
the British cruisers in the Gulf Of Mexico, is grow
ing warmer and warmer. Hitherto it has been
confined mostly to the newspapers, but now de-
monstrstions are being made by the people in
public meetings. As yet, these demonstrations
arc weak, but very soon they may become irresis-
tible. The principles which gsverise to the war
Of 1872, though not mentioned in the treaty OF
peace following, have not been given up by the
American people they are as dear rs ever. Moth
ing would be more acceptable to the great mass
than the capture Of the British ship styz, and her
presencein this port. The ostensible cause Of the
aegressions, the capture Of . few negroes carried
into slavery contrary to law, is one thing, the In
su!ting of the Nation another. 1t is high time

A DAY AT CENTRE"

We spent g pleasant and profitable day with the
people at Centre, on Saturday last, in attendance
upon their temperance celebration. The company
was not as large nor as varied as we desired to see;
most of those present being members and Jealous
friends of the cause. But we were gratifed to
observe that many delegates were in attendance
from other Divisions; and, perhaps, the cheering
spectacle of almost an entire multitude in process
sion, decked out with the beautiful emblems and
regalia of the order, compensated fully for the
want Of a larger portion Of the raw material.
After the usual ceremonies, an address was
made by Capt. ]. G.. Phillips, a member Of
Union Division. 1t is not usual for us to look for
an elaborate production from an unpretending
man; but in this instance our expectations were
more than realized. Capt. PHILLIPS address was
very good written carefully, properly and well ;
embracing q history of the Order and q conclusive
answer to the objections commonly urged against
it; and it was admirably calculated to build up
the faith of those identified with the temperance
work. 1t was entirely appropriate, and was well
received.
Col. BEATTY, the veteran leader Of our temper
ance army, was called out; and in place of q
speech of his own, read a glowingly eloquent ap-
peal in behalf Of the cause from a tract entitled
Putnam and the Wolf; or the Monster Des-
troyed-an address delivered in Connecticut by
Rev. JOHN MARSH, and published mot by q Tenn
perance printer but) by the American Tract So
ciety. Read in good style, the points made in
this searching and touching sermon were very ef-
fectiye, presenting an array of earnest and truth
full arguments which no sane mind can withstand.
We could only regret that 80 few of the "outsi-
ders" were there to profit by it. Branching out
on his own responsibility Col. BEATTY told, among
otbar GOOD things, the anecdote of the Kennebec
man. who, on one occasion, accidentally found
b;mself drunk, went home to his wife and chill
dren. sat there for q time demurely and moodily,
and finally wound up the catastrophe by calling
for an inch-auger, boring q hole rightin the centre
of his mantle-piece, and swearing never to get
drunk again until that hole "growed up" The
Kennebec man kept his oath; and the speaker
promised to permit all reprobates to have their
own way about joining the Sons, if they would
..eo and do likewise"

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.

At last accounts, the General Conference of the
Methodist Church, South, continued its sessions
in Nashville, Tennessee.
On the 10th inst, action was had on the resolu-
tons from the Alabama and Holstien Conferences,
in regard to expunging the general rule forbidding
sqhe buying and selling of men, women and chill
dren, with an intention to enssve them" This
feature of the Discipline, originally intended to
operate against the African Slave Trade exclusive
", has of late received, at home and abroad, q
construction unfavorable to our institutions and
the resolutions referred to, ask the General Con-
ference to expunge the rule from the book. A Be-
ries of resolutions were reported by DR.. SUMMERS,
providing for the "expunctiop' declaring that
the action of the ConferencsasSast not be construed
into m expression of opinion in,regard to the
slave trade directing the Bishops to bring the
subject before the Annual Conferences, at their
next sessions, for their concurrent action and In
the Pastoral Address to set forth the platform Of
the Methodist Church, South, in regard to the
relations of master and servant. The resolutions
we're passed almost unanimously the few who
opposed them being fearful tbatthey would be con-
strued as favoring the African Slave Trade. In
an enlarged point Of view, the effect OF this action
is to declare that "slavery is not o subject Of &C.
clesiastical legislation )" and it should be heartily
commended by the entire Southern community.
The proposition to dispense with probation as a
condition Of membership, is under favorable con-
sideration in the Committee on Revisals, so it is
said, and the probability is, that there will be g
modification of the system, if it is not entirely
abolished, as the future Law of the church. 1t
has been proposed, though no action has been had
on the point, to support the Bishops by special
collections among the several Conferences, instead
of drawing upon the proceeds Of the Publishing
House, for this purpose. thas also been proposed
to modify materially the law respecting class meet
ings though it is not designed to disregard them
as prudential means Of grace. Two Bishops are
to be elected; and it is expected that the choice
for one of these positions will fall on Rev. DR..
W1oHrMAN, of this State. The following para
graph respecting the venerable Bishop souLE, de-
serve a place:

ever see himf He certainly fulflls my idea of Q

where to find him. You know that he is now per-
