4 melancholy day. or night, was that OF the last
22d of December, az Charleston, S. c. The Pilgrim
Fathers. themselves were in hardly more dismal
plight when they fret landed on the stern and rock
bound coast than were their descendants who hai
ratmigrated to the SUMMER South on their appointed
Feast.day. Marry, the fare was something mended
since tbe days Of the Maglower, and good liquor,
We infer, vas not as scalt as It MSS Ia the lifetime
of Elder Brewster of whom it 3 recorded thai
he had been compelled 10 drink water only, and
that for many years together such was the poverty
Of the times, and thatyet, bythe blessingof God he
I'D lived 20 o vcry Old age. We appfcheufthat No
miraculous interposition of Providence viii be
needed to secure a due longevity to any Of the
Charleston Yankees b. reason Of any drouth OF
this particular descr pton. But twas Of 10 Use.
The tasteless meats and ioyess wines palled oa
their patriotic palates. The gloom of Destiny hung
over the banquet II was most tunereal testivity.
Il is recorded that Mr. Samuel W, Feber gave

given. but il could have been, with propriety none
other than

Tie Union, we need not say, was the piece dc
resistance, a chief dish, OF the occasion. It was

his knife into it.. II was made minced meat OF. IL
may be regarded as slaughtered roasted, hashed,
deyoured, and forever dispatched. The poor Pill
grim Fathers could not pass muster, even 10 the
toast given in their honor, without a raFeat. The
Caucasian descendents Of Japhet forgot the lesson
written on the dusk faces behind their chairs, meant
10 warn them against the sin Of Ham by the ever
present witness of his punishment They did not
hide the uakedness of the Fathers. On the con-
trary, for one line of euoey they gave them six of
ceusure 1t is their 4" dark spirit Of fanaticism
and Intolerance which, "sbadowing the fair his
" tory of the Commonwealth they founded, threat
" enirg 10 engulf them in a conflict OF disloyalry,
=. dishonor. and disunion." This wa apprehsnd,
to be a protest against the possible invasion
OF the vested right Of the Southern States
.n the manufacture of Disunion. For, mas
much as every speech was full OF nothing
else, and The rest Of The Charleston Mercury
containing the report filed with speeches made and
resolutions passed by the Legislature demanding
TINS very divorce. il cannot be that there is any
thing inherently dsloyal or dshouorabIe in Disun-
iousm. Ii only becomes such when it is suggested
n part Of the country whore the laws Of physical
geography if not Of Asiatic scenery, as Mr.. Web
ter said forbid the growth and manipulation Of
that delicate staple Of the South.

never heard Of excepting The President, Mr. VII
