ACARD.


Mr.. Editor Il see by the ENQUIRER Of the
25th ultimo, that a writer over the signature Of
s'Catswba," mentions my name in connection with
q seat in the next Legislature, and calls upon me
to state whether I will be a candidate or not. In
addition to the nomination by 'Catswba," my at
tention has been directed to the ticket 'for the
next Legislature" by "a Voter" in which my
name appears. I appreciate the kind Partially
of my friends, and in yielding to the urgent ap-
peals that have been made to me, I must say I
feel deeply the embarrassing position in which I
am placed.
But a short time since, I was constrained to de-
cline the canvass for Sheriff; and the reasons
which induced that step, are still applicable to the
present case. Situated as I am, it will be utterly
out Of my power to canvass the District, and may
I not hope my long acquaintance in the District
precludes its necessity? The nomination has
been wholly unsolicited, and, therefore, more
grateful to me; and if the voters Of York District
see proper to elevate me to the responsible and
highly honorable position of q Representative in
the Legislature, I will endeavor to serve them
faithfully, and with singleness Of purpose.
Very Respectfully, &C..

license to sell spirituous liquors, as n public
nuisance-a system having no foundation in JUS
tice and utterly repugnaut to the spirit Of our free
institutions.
"If the sale of liquor is right in itself, then
every man has a right to engage in it; but II
wrong, no man has that right, and no legislative
body has the right to license such sale. A legal
enactment having no foundation on the moral law
is n disgrace to a christian people. Murder, all
agree, is wrong, and any law making power dar.
ing to legalize it would be branded with the igno-
miny it would justly deserve-yet we have a
license system of murder, destroying systematic.
ally the peace, prosperity, happiness and lives OF
the people of this commonwealth, and we here
wash our hands of the irtestibie crime by inter
ing our solemn protest against it. The Object of
securing n revenue by the licensing of such sales,
is foolish in the extreme-a policy having no
foundation in political e;onoIny, null a~disgrace to
the wisdom of that power which designed it as
such. The cost OF supporting the paupers and
furnishing the criminals-Inade 80. directly and
Indirectly, by the system, amounts to fully ten
times rs much rs the revenue derived theretrorn.
If public sentiment will not sustain the entire
prohibition Of this deadly traffic, We respectfully
suggest that all restrictions BIZ taken from the
same, so that every man may sell nj pleasure; re-
curing of each O tax similar to that levied On all
other stock in trade, and hold ench seller liable,
to n certain extent, for all criminal consequences
resulting therefrom, affecting directly the peace
and interests of society.
We further present the system of Furnishing
certain grades of crimipnlity by whipping, rs un-
worthy the intelligence and refinement of the age.
aud respectfully suggest the p~ropriety Of mn i'm
mediate change-substituting the penirentiary
system for that now in use. We might multiply
reasons to any extent for this suggestion, but
deem it unnecessary, as NIL must zee that there is
something wanting to make our system of punish
ment what it should be.

THE DAILY SOUTHERN GUARDIAN.

Thursday last, We received the first number of a
new Daily, published in Columbia, by an Associa-
ton of Printers and conducted by Mr.. E. H. BRIT
TON, assisted by "a gentleman of large experience,
and for many years connected with the press of
the State" The Guardian makes a credltable ap'
pearance it could not do otherwise, under the
skillful and p~racticed management of Mr.. BRITToS'
We extend to him right cordial welcome back in
to the ranks-trusting he may find the work as
pleasant and profitable as ever. The Daily Guar
will be sent to subscribers at Sc; the Tri'
Weekly, at SIS; the Weekly, at 81, per annum.
Since the above was written, W. B. JOHNSTON
ESQ.,, has announced his connection with the
Guardian, as editor. The press and the reading
public will greet warmly the return of this vete'
ran editor to the position the duties of which he
has heretofore performed with signal ability
With such men as BR1rToy and JOHNSTON in the
lead, the Guardian cannot fail to run a prosperous
career; for, most assuredly, they can make tia
capital paper.

THE N


The latest advices from Washington, to be found
in other columns, will inform the reader as to the
progress of the Kansas struggle. The Senate,
standing firmly and Gas true as steel, has re-
iected the amended Bill as sent from the House;
and the last resort must now be tried "a Com
mittee of Conference, a patched-up compromise.
and a shallow and deceptive truce to the despe-
rate warfare. Whether this hitherto infallible
method of arbitrament will now avail, time alone
can tell. A week may decide; and yet, the "dog
days" may be permitted to contribute a more
raging fever to the lingering madness. We shall
watch and wait patiently.
We have made the assertion that the issue in
volved in this Kansas wrangle, is of little impor-
lance to the South. True, the rejection of the
L%ecompton Constitution would, with absolute
certainty, settle the point whether another slave
State will be permitted to come into the Union
But would a contrary result alter, in q moral
point of view, our political relations with the
dominant party at the North? Would the admis-
sion of Kansas, under existing circumstances.
afford q guaranty for the future! Of whatvalue
is a meagre majority, in such a conjuncture-a
majority, obtained by the application of the most
powerful influences, and liable to melt away as
rapidly as the mist of the morning? The facts
developed in the struggle are enough to dissipate
the f intest shadow of n hope. A constitution,
formed under legal process, by n party whose ss-
tendency was fairly and openly established; re-
publican in every word and line submitted, con-
trary to the general usage, to a subsequent vote
of the people, and ratified by IN overwhelming
majority; communicated to Congress by a North
ern President; upheld by the tremendous energy
of executive patronage, s~killfully and necessarily
applied; aud, finally, demanding approval, in
have given a grave and startling ~import-tbis
Constitution is deliberately rejected by q large
majority of the popular branch of our Congress! !
And that, too, when it is ascertained that d Free
Soil majority now rules the Territory when it is
fixed that the new State would at once wheel into
an orbit encircling the " bright, particular star"
of the Republican party when the treachery of
CALHOUN has thrown to the rayenous monster o
morsel which might have appeased, for a season.,
even the hunger that is never fed; in fine, when
all that is asked, all that is left to the ying victim,
is but the ju~iceless, t~asteless, vapid, shell of a
principle! Shall We be told to indulge q hope!
When such events have occurred, can We ration
ally entertain the belief that q new State, con-
formed thoroughly to the domestic institutions Of
the South, can ever, hereafter, be admitted into
Union? We 90 further. Will any reasonable
man now suppose that any measure whatever,
contributing mainly to the advancement Of South
ern interests, can obtain the sanction Of the Ma

Rock Hill, April 7. 1858.

With a view to correct some false reports in
circulation concerning the remains of an infant
skeleton discovered by o negro boy belonging to
W. l. CLAwsoN, Esq, in one Of his fields in the
suburbs Of our village; I make the following
statement:
The skeleton found in the little box, was the
premature birth Of a negro woman I have on my
plantation. She had been unfortunate in having
three premature births within the past two years,
and with a view to thy to correct this habit, she
had been brought to my lot. She was again un-
fortunate. The woman who attended her report
ted that the child was not only premature-which
l knew to be the fact-but seemed to have been
deprived Of vitality for some days previous
Its remains were placed in a box and given to a
negro boy, with instructions to bury it in the
woods in rear Of W. I. CLAwsoN's field. The
boy was unfaithful, and stopped within the limits
of the field. I did not see the child, and was from
home on the morning it was put away.

We place upon our exchange list with some
thing more than ordinary pleasure. the name OF
the "Clarendon Banner" the first number OF which
reached us last week. 1t is published in the new
village of Manning, Clarendon District. by a vet
eran printer, J.. P. NJ. CALvo; and will be edited
BY JOHN W. Erwin, Esq, we'll known to literary
circles as one of the most clever and spirited ex-
ponents of the rising genius of the South. Take
it for all in all. the Banner filings itself out very
g~allantly and judging from the standard-bear-
ers, rs well as its own bright colors, we mistake
widely if it does not wear brayely against all the
storms which, in our day, betide the journalist.
Long may it wave!

as these, n Grand Jury becomes a noble instru-

had been avowed by the distinguished Senator
from n. Y, [Mr. Seward in stating that he de-
sired to see the Supreme Court remodeled in the
interest of humanity. They all understand what
that meant. In such an event there remained but
one course for the South to pursue, and that was,
