tne democratic Jackson Association again stis In
toiefaoie," and that, to get relief for the time
oeing, last night they resorted 10 their old expe
olent OF voting the editor Of the Star out of their
ranks, which, experience has long since taught
them, is the surest escape-vafve for the over load
OF spleen and very bad whisky too many of them
carry upon their stomachs in times an exciting as
the present. As ere the division Of the society,
when aissfuntIed With the Stas,s truthful reports
OF. their own comical antics cut up In Coombs's
Hall, they have again essayed to punish the
Star for being newspaper, instead of a tin pan

On the former occasion the grievance was really
on account Of our declension to make the Star an
advocate Of Berret's election to the Mayoralty
On this occasion the grievance is because the Star
steadily adheres to its speciality Of being news

CURE FOR CROSS HUSBANDS.

The Home Journal announces that the full
length portrait of WASHINGTON IRVING, lately
painted by POWELL is to be sent TO Paris to be
engraved. 1t represents the author Of the
"Sketch- Book" in his library at Sunnyside,
seated at the open window, his head resting on
his left hand, in musing attitude, the waters Of
the Hudson, the Palisades just breaking into the
distance, stretching for miles beneath his gaze.
The portrait is painted from the only likeness oi
this gifted writer taken in his latter years \
Il In order to render the accessories as
truthful as the likeness, he sketched at Sun,
nyside all the details introduced in it. The re.
suit is as is universally conceded by Mr.. Irving's
relatives and friends, a picture life-like in its
personal traits, accurate in its local features,
and national in its interest and value
Mr.. POWELL has been enabled to give his pic
ture some of the hsppiest touches from the ''only
likeness" mentioned above, a daguerreotype ia.
ken of Mr.. IRVING in his sixty-6fth year. BRADY
is also photograph;ug this daguerreotype.
Between the BRADY photograph and the Pow
ELL engraving, the American and European ad-
mirers of the most popular, genial and agreeable
writer Of the day, are to be supplied with his
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1860-04-19

best likeness at little more than nominal cost.
This picture will, We suggest, not only be q
national blessing and joy; but, from the pleas
antness, quiet humor and unspeakable bewitch-
ingness Of Mr.. IRv1No's countenance, would be
great peace-maker if hung on the parlor walls OF
our married lady friends. If anytof them are
afflicted with cross, peevish, never-smiling' al
ways morose husbands, We recommend them to
try the experiment. The countenance OF the
bachelor Of Sunny Side smiling down upon them'
would quietly but effectively rebuke the chur'
lish spirit of selfshness and discomfort. Then
what relief and delight for its very novelty O.
mong the long-faced and jaundice-eyed crew Of
bachelors, to see beaming upon US at every turn
the face of one who was kind-hearted, genial
humorous and really happy! Mr.. IRVING would
have made model husband; he was model
bachelor; and after the POWELL engraving is Of
fered for sale, his picture must become an adorn'
ment of the model American home.

coLuMB1A STATE CONVENTION.

The State Democratic Convention met at Co.
lumbia on Monday evening. Hon. JAMES l..
ORR was chosen President. A committee OF
twelve was appointed to draft suitable resolu-
tons for the Convention and committee OF
one from each election District, selected by the
respective District delegations, was appointed
to nominate from the State at large eight dele
gates to the Charleston Convention Each Con-
gressional district will also appoint four dele
gates.
Mr.. Orr, on taking the chair, addressed the
Convention, says the Carolinian, in speech
sustaining the policy of the State being repre-
sented in the Charleston Convention. He re-
viewed the career of the Democratic party in
reference to the territorial question. He quo
ted from the Cincinnati platform, to show that
it was not capable Of the squatter- sovereignty
construction. He contended that if anything
were wanting to sustain the position which the
Southern States were in, it was supplied by the
Interpretation of the Constitution contained in
the Dred Scott decision.

AVAILABILITY.

Availability and choice between two evils
for the Presidency, are not our policy. The
South should unite on q Southern man-HUNTER,
or some one ese-and thus give our Northern
friends chance to display their sincerity. The
issue must sooner or later be made up and met
the hosts marshalled and the battle fought-and
the sooner, the better for US. All temporising
and delay only weakens and distracts the South,
while it sacrifices our friends at the North and
makes our enemies there more confident, bold
and powerful. Palmetto" of the Carol'nian,
writing from Washington says: "The Pres
idential movements become-m more and more agita-
ted and growing warmer every day, as the day Of
meeting of the Charleston Convention approaches.
A strong effort is being made to unite the South
on Mr.. HUNTER. Certainly there could not be a
better selection. But have great doubt wheth-
er Mr.. HUNTER will be considered sufficiently
available in Pennsylvania New Jersey and other
debatable States. The nomination will, think,
fall upon aSouthern man, or General 10. LANE.
The friends of DOUGLAS insist that he is the only
man who can be elected, but the aversion Of the
Southern States to his nomination, will certainly
prevent his selection"
Why should this non availability of Mr.. Hun
TER 'iu Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and 9TH
er debatable States, be an objection to the Souhs
demanding his nomination in the Charleston Con
vention? We want man who is free, entirely
free, from pandering to the special interests or
politics off any clique of states or subsection; a
man who is constitutional, comprehensive, liber-
al and enlightenedin his views and policy. Such
man it is right and proper to array against
lss#ARp, or tho Representative of the Republican
party, whoever he may be. The sef-reiance,
political virtue and integrity to the constitution,
impliedin choosing such standard bearer, would
impart more harmony and strength to the Dem,
ocratic party than the choice of an available but
merely galvanized candidate, which must be al
ways connected more or less with distrust, sus.
picion and dissatisfaction. A victory that
would demoralze the party, by uprooting its
principles would be worse than defeat.

FIRE {!

On last Wednesday evening, just as we were
going to press, and, of course, too late for an
nouncement, the alarm bell threw our town into
a hubbub of excitement. A spark Of fire had
escaped from the engine and caught in some
cotton bags lying on the platform at the Kings
Mountain Railroad Depot. The wind was blow
ing violently, driving the flames through the
mass of cotton bales; and, though our gallant
FIRE company acquitted themselves handsomely,
the fire was not subdued. until 81 bales-70 Of
which belougedt to Mr.. JOHN SMITH and mother
of Broad river-were destroyed. No houses
were burned.

SCENE I'M THE HOUSE.

As faithful journalists we must hold the mirror
up to passing events, and give the very image
and body Of the times, their form and pressure
Whatever occurring events are significant OF the
tendency Of things in government and society,
should go into the types; we, therefore, give
place to o resume of one days proceedings in
the House of our National Legislature, which
happened short while since, and which shows
ethe dark day and May frost'' Of our history to
the life.
Mr.. LovEJoy, Of Illinois, was venting his
spleen and hate against the South in one Of the
most violent and reasonable speeches Of the
season. When he began to speak, he was stand
ing among his Republican friends on their side
of the House; but, as he warmed up with the
self-thrilling fanaticism of his remarks, he ad'
vanced until he got nearly before the speakers
chair, where facing the Democrats and frequently
raising both clenched fists above his head anc
swinging them up and down somewhat after the
manner of boy jumping, he exhausted HIM
too old and stale to be repeated here.
His violence reused Mr.. Pryor, Of Virginia,
who advanced to within few feet of Mr.. LOVE
JOY; and this movement brought many Demo.
Gratis and Republicans to their feet in excited
expectation. Mr.. PRYOR had risen to point
of order; Chairman PENNINGTON requested mem.
bers to take their seats; q chorus of voices from
both sides Of the House shouted, ''Go to your
seats - members needed not, crowding into a
circle in front of the desk Mr.. BARKsDALE (sha-
king heavy gold-headed cane at LovEJoy) said
-"You lying scoundrel, come over here if you
dare!"
Southern members said LovEJoY violated the
Constitution, and perjured himself; but LovEJoE
went on in the same strain, winding up by say
ing in reference to the Brown raid, that Virgin
ia had sinned and ought to. drink the waters OF
bitterness; whereupon Mr.. MARTIN, of Virginia,
told him, if he would go into Virginia, that they
there would hang him higher than they did JOHN
Brown. Such scene in the National Legisla.
