pears to be to delude the readers of that sheet
into the beiefthat the TELEGRAPH has changed
its position in respect to the Fugitive Slave
Law, Either ignorance or viclousness, Or both
must have moved the Democrat to the attempt
to make out a case of that sort The files o.
the TELEGRAPH during past years are open fol
all, and no change of sentiment whatever car
be found on the subject of the Fugitive Slav
Law-no conflicting opinions have been expires,
ed. The TELEGRAPH has never denied that
there is a constitutional obligation to return fu
gitives, but at the same time has always main
tanned that the present Fugitive Slave Law is
uncon stitutional. If the Democrat has not in
telligence enough to perceive the distinction
between admitting constitutional obligation,
and maintaining the law unconstitutional, en-
acted to carry out, the obligation-that is not
our fault.

South Carolina Secession Move
En1KRLS,

The delegates recently elected by the people
assembled at Columbia, the capital of the State,
on Monday last, the 18th inst. The conven>
ton, after several ballottings chose Gen. Jane
son President. Considerable discussion took
place during the first days session as to the
order Of business. So far as any thing appears
the convention is unanimous for secession, and
the members seem animated by desire for its
speedy accomplishment
In consequence of the fearful prevalence Of
the small pox in Columbia, the convention after
considerable debate, agreed to adjourn tc
Charleston. On Tuesday the convention pro
ceeded to Charleston, and was received in thai
city with public display. The Ordinance for
malIy proclaiming secession has probably beer
passed before this time. The most Interesting
P art Of the proceedings are yet to come wha
line of policy will South Carolina mark out to bt
pursued as an independent sovereignty out OF
the Union?

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS SOUTH
Prostitution of Business, and the Reign of
Anarchy.


Anarchy.
The reactive influence on the business inter-
ests of the south, in consequence of the seces-
sion movement, is producing general disaster.
The statements of southern correspondents
of the New York papers, all concur in this.
A correspondent of the New York Tribuns who
has thus far coutrived to escape the detection
of the vigilance committees writes from
Charleston, S. c.. as follows:
charleston, which at this season of the year
is usually very much the resort of strangers
from the north, is now literally deserted. The
arrivals at the hotels are next to nothing,
and the proprietorS grean audibly. There is
a corresponding falling off in every other
branch of business. The railways especially
suffer from the absence of northern travellers
None of them, it is said, are paying running
expenses. 1t is SO all through the south.
Another correspondent of the Tribune wri-
ting from Richmond Virginia, December 10Th
states:
"The past month has been one of unparalell-
ed dullness and inactivity here in all branches
of trade. Hundred of mechanics are out of
employment, and there cry is, "Down with
DisuniOn. This government is good enough
for us. No more agltation--it brings idleness
to US, and starvation to our children and wives.
Give US work"
A gentleman writing to the Tribune from
Memphis, Tennessee, states:
"No Northern man is safe in the south now.
1t matters not how servile Democrat he may
have been,o or may now be;if he is from the ''ac-
cursed North it is sufficient. Northern men
are being driven away from New Orleans. Gin
cinnati steamboats, are refused landing at the
wharf there. And here in Memphis, northern
men in business bow to this Moloch of Slavery
PROSTATE themselves in the dust, and discharge
their northern cleiks and workmen. They are
daily leaving. Some have been turned off, and
have not the means to get home again up the
river. 1t is truly deplorable."

THE DEATH OF AIDA ELIZABETH YULE, DIED Nov, $780,
There was a flower, little flower
Offragrance sweet and beauty rare,
That grew in yonder sheltered bower,
Nursed with tender parent care.
The loving hearts that saw il bloom
Loved it as dear as hearts cOnld love
They little thought earthly tomb ...
Would take it to its home above.
But thou art gone, our flower is gone
Transpianted from this world of ours
To join the pure and happy throng
That blooms in heavens eternal bowers,
And though mourn fer AIDA dear
And will while life to US is given,
We know that through the endless year
She blooms an angel flower in heaven.
To you who felt that bitter grief,
Which parent hearts alone can feel
What can say to bring relief?
How teach that God doth all things well.
BLESSED be that faith, that Christian faith,
A Beacon on life's stormy tide,
And round the sad, cold bed of death,
What blessed radiance dcth it shade.
1t tells that she who's early doom
Ye mourn with many bitter tear,
viii rise triumphant from the tomb,
When hrst in glory doth appear.
If she to sight is ever lost, -.'
You know she is but gone before,
And if you have one daughter less,
Heaven has yet one angel more.
BLESSED. truth. Oh may it cheer each heart,
And lead our thoughts to heaven above
Where all meet and never part,
The ransomed OF redeeming love, =.
And as the circling years roll on,
Each thought Of her will bring sigh,
Who to happier sphere has gone,
Bat to our love never die

What Mind of Government the
South Wants.

| The leading men of the South, evidently do
do not want form of government based upon
liberal suffrage. A limited monarchy, or
something nearly equivalent toit,appears to be
regarded as the best adapted to the public
good. The augusta Chronicle, one of the most
influential Journals in Georgia. says, "some of
the wisest and best citizens, propose hered-
itary constitutional monarchy" but that pa
per thinks the people are not yet prepared for
it. The Chronicle suggests the following a
the right kind of government:
"An executive for life, a vastly restricteds
suf rage, Senators elected for life, or for a long
period say twenty>one years, and the most
popular branch of the Assembly elected for
seven years, the Judiciary absolutely indie
pendent, and for life, or good behavior. The
frequency of elections, and the universally of
suffrage, with the attendant arousinglof the
peoples passions, and the necessary sequence
of demagogues being elevated to high station,
are thought by many to be the great causes Of
trouble among u.s.

Three Men EauaEg.

The Memphis (Tennesee) argus contains an
account of the hanging of three Northern men,
Carpenters by trade, at Friars Point. The
evidence against these men was a negro, who
said they had told him that when Lincoln be-
came President on the 4th Of March next, all
the negroes would be freed. The same account
states that the Vigilance Committee at Friars

A TRIBUTE TO KANE: and Other Poems By
GEORGE w. CHAPMAN. Rudd g. Carlton
New York

We are indebted to the politeness of the Author
for copy of the above work, in the perusal Of
which we have spent few pleasant hours The
leading poem, that gives the title TO the book, is
real gem of Poesy, worthy of the remarkable man
who inspired it, and the pen that wrote it. 1t is
full of beautiful imagery, lofty conceptions, and
musical rhythm; and all together will equal some
of the best of the old poets. 'Karl," the next po
EN- in the book, is legend of Lake Michigan, and
exhibits marks of the real poetic fire. The other
pieces though shorter, not less plainly mark ed
with the touch of genius.
Mr.. CHAPMAN is Milwaukee man, and at pres
ent one of the Editors of the Free D emocrat
of that city. We commend this little
work to those who can appreciate good poetry
1t is brought out in the most beautiful and attrac
tive style, printed ON tinted paper, and neatly
bound in muslin; forming companion book to
Bitter Sweet" "Courtship of Miles Standish
Nothing to Wear" and others of that ilk.
