A dispatch says that all the delegates

however, that the vote of South Carolina

a VILE PRAcTIcE.--An exposure was
made in the United States Senate few
days ago, which reflects no credit upon
the fairness and good taste of Senator Will
son Of Massachusetts. 1t appears that a
considerable portion of his speech on the
proposed law for the suppression of the
slave trade, was not deligered in the Sen
ate. but was published in the Washington
Globe. These sentences in which he Sc
verely reflected upon the conduct of the
Southern Judiciary were never heard in
the Senate, and no opportunity was given
at the time for reply. This speech was
also furnished to the Associated Press, in
lips of proof from prominen: Republi>

TEMPERANCE AND Our TEMPERANCE Lee

TEMPERANCE AND Our TEMPERANCE Lee
TURERs.-On Friday last, two of the prom
nent men of the Republican party of this
county, played off heavy joke on the
cause of temperancc, as well as themselves.
Mr.. II. B. Pershing and the Rt. Rev. A.
Fuller, met on the walk, together with some
Democrats. The subject Of discussion
was Hoham.'' The Reverend gentle
man conteaded that it was perfectly con-
sIsten. for the temperance men Of Of this
place, who were Republicans, to support
Mr.. Heham. Mr.. Pershing thought not.
and referred to the part he, together with
the rest Of the prominent Republicans,
took, when the celebrated lecturer broad
axe was here. as we'll as their professions
for the last five or six years and. during
the course of his remarks, he answered in
the negative The question we asked last
week, viii they support the ticket -
This was more than Mr.. Fuller could en-
dure. and as Pershing had him in rather a
tight place he did not know how to extri-
cate himself, but finally replied 70 Mr.. Per-
shiDg by saying that it was no worse, nor
more inconsistent to support Hoham than
it was for him (Pershing) to furnish and
peddle whiskey for elcctioneering purpos.
es, when his brother was running for
Clerk. This was pretty round as we'll
as an unlocked for charge. and Mr. Per-
shing met it in the following sublime and
emphatic language-"I 1t is as false as
hi - to which brother Fuller replied
L can prore it, 'Pershing---I demand
the proof FuIler--'I hare the witnssses.
Here the curtain dropped. and each of the
gentlemen went their way, each thinking
how they had acted the fool in letting the
cat out of the bag and feeling that they
had been running themselves by telling the
truth on each ether: Fuller still contending
that it was consistent for them to support
Hoham, aud Persbing saying it was not,
and that he would not support him. AS
Mr.. Pershing is now acting the part Of an
honest and consistent man, We hope he will
continue to demand Mr.Fuller's proof of the
charge he has made. II he remains still
under this charge, it will be proof to this
community that he is guilty

hereabouts make a great fuss about our

abuse and defamation of the Democracy of

look and long for but when they are held
to account for their inconsistencies and po

kick US, pound US, and do various other
severe things. If such things afford
them any relief. we are glad they blow off
in this way, and they can rest assured
that such things, while they serve to ease
them, at the same time they are source

whether they succeed in intimidating US

hereafter. by the course we shall pursue.
Not that We intend to 90 into private afs
