Mr.. Everett's Address.

h'ns'e''s Hall was crowded las, night.
From the city, from the surrounding coun.
try, from Tie different districts, there was
gathered as respectable and intelligent an
audience as we have ever seen. IL was
decidedly q South Carolina audience
come together to express their sympathy
in the great and good cause n which Mr..
Everett is enlsted--to pay respect TO a
represen taliye Ut "ancient' Massachusetts.
AS the Hon. Mr.. DuSaussure, who so very
Handsomely introduced Mr.. Everett, we'll
said for Of modern Massachusetts. AN we
see 1t through her politics, lie is certainly
no representative, Need we REPEAT what
every one feels, that no disappointment
was felt; or If any, then Standard had
been liked BY those who were disappont
Cd 10 which human efforts could not well
attain. 1t was grand and magnificent
discourse. The orator presented his sub
Ject in imposing grandeur, perfect unity
and exquisite chasleness.
whatever others may say Of the South.
Mr.. Everett must certainly have perceiv-
cd from the immense concourse that
greeted and appauded him. that there is
no reckless spirit among rs that will
plunge the country into revolution, unless
urged on by insurportnble insults hurled
den sntIy At us bv fanaticism and political
Jemagosues. He must have perceived
that we cherish still love for the cons,i.
tutlonal repubicanism that our Washing.
ton gave us, and that 10 morrow, if sec
tional agitation were to cease, the Sou,h
wouI be ready to join in that great ma
tional jubilee which he hoped would
spring from the hearts Of every section TO
Celebrate the next anniversary of Wash
ington's birth day. The destruction of
the Union Of Washington viii, not be n
Southern act. for he must have perceived
how, in the midst Of South Carolina, he
was cheered when he made al!usiou 10
that Union. The South is ready 20 pre
serve that but not the present. When he
has completed his Southern tour, lie, him
make Northern one ; let him hold up
Washington as rebuke 10 the D-ma.
gogses there, an if he can succeed in
placing check upon them, if he can PRO.
cure popular feeling .h-re that will
frown down their attacks upon the South,
then will the South join with the North
in hanging to that Washington who,
though dead, yet lives in the hearts Of
his countrymen.
To day Mr.. Everett leaves us. He has
made most favorable impression upon
our people, and we hope he carries with
hun the conviction, that when South Car
olina speaks Of dissolution Of the Union
1t is not because she has forgotten the
great man to whose character he alone
seems able TO do ample j,,slice.-SouM

The Banks Again.

Last week We penned an article, in
which we said that the bills of our banks
had lost the prestige Of their name abroad
and stood not SO high AS in davs OF vore.
Little did we think that so soon it would
be more than strengthened and confirmed.
During this week We received a letter

extracting the following

ed us Of the death of Hon. Thomas II.
Benton, of Missouri. He died at Wash.
ington, on The l0th inst, from cancerous
affection of the stomach, and from which
he had been suffering for number of years
Few men have occupied a more prominent
position in public life than Mr. Benton
lie was for thirty years member of the
United States Senate and several years a
member Of the popular branch of Congress. :.
Possessed Of an intellect above ordinary,
with unwearied energy, imperious will and
large ambition, it is not surprising, with
such combinations. that, through the course
Of an active life, he made bitter enemies as
well as fast friends. His great work "Thir-
ty Years in the United States Senate" upon
which he has been engaged since his re-
tirement from public life, he did not live to
complete. II is presumed, however, that
he has left material Uherewith il may be
finished by others.
