date the platform of principles as laid down by
the Republican party, was, when coupled with the
continued aggression of that party the rights of
the South. The President could not be taken out
of his position while we remain in the Union
The North will never give any guarantees, and if
we 60 into Convention with them, they will bind
the South hand and foot He had been bitter
partizan, but believed the time had come when
party distinctions should be torn asunder-that
there was no halfway ground, that North Carolina
would say to ALL who not for me you are against
me. The extreme Southern States do not wish to
confer and conspre with the border States against
the Union, they will first leave it and hear your
suggestions, The Senator viii wait for overt
act. What is that act? It will never be defined,
and it will never be admitted that it is committed
by those gentlemen who call themselves UniOnsts
Mr. Avery said that Mr. Brown was as much a
disunionist himsef-that the difference be-
tween them was a mere question of time. Mr.
Avery thought if the advocates of Mr. Breckin-
ridge had advocated disunion, that the State would
have gone for him by 10000 majority; that the
people were far in advance of the politicians on
this question Caswell was States Rights county,
and the first gun fired by federal troops to coerce
S. Carolina would bring her people into the field.
Mr. Avery said he would abide the decision Of
the State as a loyal citizen, whatever his own
opinions might be-
Mr. Brown again addressed the Senate. He
spoke in high terms of the message of the Presi-
dent, and said he was proud that Mr. Buchanan
had taken the position he had.
Mr. Avery replied, and the debate was con-
tinued until o'clock, when
Mr. Thomas, of Jackson, said he had no doubt
that both the gentlemen we're patriots and friends
to Constitutional Union, and moved to adjourn.
Since the above was put in type we find more
extended account of the debate in the State Jour
nal, which gives Mr. Avery's remarks fuller than
the above report from the Standard.

LETTER FROM SENATOR HUNTER.-The Rich
mond Examiner contains long and forcible let
ter from Senator Hunter, on the present crisis OF
our Government. He is anxious to preserve the
Union if it can be done with the Constitution in
its full vigor. For this purpose he counsels uni
ted South an the Union, and calls for Southern
Convention as the means of concentrating South
ern opinion, and of agreeing upon a common de-
mand for security, either in clear recognition of
her covenanted rights, or the granting of new
guarantees If the North should refuse, as he
fears she would, or if from any cause the measure
shall fall as he thinks most probable, then he re-
CARDS the immediate secession of several States as
inevitable. He argues the perfect right of State
to secede, and contends, at much length, and with
an irresistible array of facts and arguments, that
in the event Of the probable secession of the cot
ton States the border slave States will be COM
PEELED, by interest and safety, to follow.

WHITE WOMAN AMONG THE AFRICANs.-A
Sierra Leone paper states that white woman who
accompanied her husband, missionary, up the
CavalIe river last May, excited the greatest curl
osity among the sable dweers of that benighted
region, where a white woman was never before
seen. All wanted to touch her, and great surprise
was expressed upon feeling her hair. The king of
Nyinemo tribe called her every fne," and COM
plimented her husband greatly for his taste in Sc
lecting her. And when she told him he might
see other white women who would surpass her, he
said that would either never be- or else very long
time. Owing to her presence the attendance on
preaching was extraordinary large. During her
visit at the mission station, hundreds went to see
her, who said they could feel satisfied now that
they had seen such wonderful being a white
woman.

A REQUEST.

You say, dear girl, you'll marry me
On one-a hard condition
Oh, name it ! whatsoe'er it be,
You'll find me all submission.
If this right arm can win thee, dear,
I'll pull it from the shoulder;
Or this right eye, to pluck it out
No martyr could be bolder.
For thee I'd walk from pole to pole,
And deem the task pleasure;
Then speak-oh, speak, and tell what
Will win earth's brightest treasure.
With rosy blush her cheek was dyed
Emotions seemed to rack her;
"Oh! promise me" she softly sighed,
"That you won't chaw tobaccer!"
It is extremely uncertain whether the heroic {
diwidual" complied with that request.

HIRING SERvANTs.-The accomplished local
editor of the Richmond Examiner, pens the follow
ing very pertinent remarks concerning subject
in which every house-keeper is deeply interested:
The time is fast approaching when people will
be required to procure their servants for the en-
suing year. AS general thing, if people have
servants who have pleased them, it is better to
tain them than to go searching in the vain hope
of getting others who will do better. Such per-
sons msy get better servants, but oftentimes they
get worsted.
1t would be well for those who have hired out
servants to learn how they have been managed, and
not for the chance of small advance upon their
hire to take them away from places where they
have been well cared for. There is no surer way
of running servants than to allow them change
Of place every year. They are sure to be discon-
tented with every home they may find in. the
course of few months, and be trouble to their
employers, and in the end become of little value
to their owners. 1t is to be hoped also, that no
servants will be allowed to hire Themselves, that
is to find some one to act as master for them, who
only receives the money which they pay for their
hire, and exercise no control over them. There
may be some who can thus be trusted with the
disposition of their time but the example seldom
fails to make others discontented, and not unfre-
quently, in the end, to ruin the servant who is
thus INDUCED.

HURRAH.-The origin of this exul:ant interjec-
toa, the eiectioneering echoes Of which are still
ringing in our ears, is probably unknown to nine
tenths of those who use it. 1t is as old as the
Sclavonic race, for aught we know, and is common
ly heard on the banks of the Vistula as on those
of the Hudson. From the coast of Damatia to
Behring's Straits it is the cry of warlike assault
and the shout of victory. In this country we put
it all sorts of congratulatory and defiant uses its
most tremendous "vocal effects" are comprehended
in "three times three and tiger" The source of
the word is in the primitive oriental idea that every
man who dies for his country goes to Heaven
Huraj, the Sclavonia derivatve, meaning literal
ly "to Paradise" Hurrah! is not unfrequently
used in America, however, in quite a different
sense. The taunting counter-hurrahs of two po-
litical factions, for example, very often mean, Ut
is to be feared) ego to-the other place"

ORIGIN OF TlTLEs.-The origin Of the titles d.
D. and LID date back to the twelfth century, at
the first establishment of the Universities, and
were then held in hig esteem. The first person
upon whom the title of Doctor was conferred
was Irnerious. learned Professor of Law at the
University of Bologna. He induced the Emperor
Lotharie H. whose Chancellor he was to create the
title, and he himself was the first recipient of it.
He was made Doctor of Laws by that University.
Subsequently the title was borrowed by the facul
ty of theology, and first conferred by the Unversi-
ty of Paris on Peter Lombard the celebrated scho-
lastic theologian William Gordenio was the first
person upon whom the title of Doctor of Medicine
was bestowed, who received it from the College of
Asti, in 1929. For several ages the doctorate was
title invested with high honor; but in the pre-
sent century, and especially in this country there
are so many thousands of them that the title is
greatly diminished in value, and now hardly worth
having
