For the Yorkville Enquirer.

Messrs. Editors: The following article from
the Columbia Guardian, seems to be an echo
from a recent publication in the Rock Hill
Chronicle, which at the time was favorably no.
ticed by several of the up.country press. AS the
Guberna,orial chair is conceded, for the mex
term, to the low country, public opinion will at
least endorse the "quali6cations' Of the Hon. ].
Duncan Allen, of Barnwell. He has never been
for Separate State action before, nor is he now,
so far as the present writer is aware, but one
thing is we'll known, that under his guidance
the commonwealth will suffer no detriment.'
Rock HILL, 8. G.. '76.
Our Next Governor-Hon. j. d. Allen.
1t is a well ascertained fact that a large por
ton of the people of South Carolina, for some
time past, have desired to bestow the Office Of
Governor upon the distinguished Senator from
Barnwell, whose name We present at the head
of this short communication and the time has
come for m organized effort to that end. Thai
Senator Allen possesses the proper qualihca'
tons, no one doubts; and that he is ready to
make the illustrious sacrifices which the holding
of the Executive Office a. this ~juucture may in
volve, should stimulate his friends in the Legis-
lature to suitable e~xertions to elect him. Let it
be at once known that Senator Allen is the bold
and intrepid advocate of Separate State Secession,
if need be, in the event of the election of Lip
coin, the Republican abolitiouist, and that to
achieve the measure Of se!f.preservation, he Is
in favor of holding q Convention at the earliest
practicable moment
Thus, brave in spirit, orthodox in sentiment,
and prepared for the sacrifice oflife and fortune
upon the altar of Southern safety and preserva-
ton, conciliatory in manner, and trustful in his
friends, it seems to US nothing would be filter
than to place Senator Allen, at this fearful
crisis, in the Executive Chair.

DEPARTMENT.

Bishop Taylor says parents must give good
examples and reverent department in the face
Of their children. And all those instances OF
charity which usually endear each other-sweet-
ness of conversation, afability, frequent admo-
nitions-all Specifications of love and tenderness,
care and watchfulness, must be expressed to-
wards children, that they may look upon their
parents as their defence and sanctuary, their
treasure and their guide"
It is too often the case with fathers who mean
we'll, that they allow the cares Of business to
encroach upon, and at length completely absorb,
those hours Of the day which are due to their
household ; and children are neglected, to grow
up like rank and poisonous weeds in a garden.-
Some men seem to think it a childish weakness
to love children. Home can never be as attract
i've to the young as it should be, unless some time
and pains be taken to make it 80. The DISPOSE
ton of the s'little folks is to be studied, their
excuses pruned, their manners moulded, their
conversation and department rendered chaste
and lovely none of which can be done when
the mother "troubles herself about many things
INCREASINGLY, leaving the education. of her chill
dren entirely to q lazy and ill.mannered nurse
and the father comes into his home with q cloudy
brow or fsvered eye, either depressed or elated
uuwontedly with business speculations, to muse
over his hard fate in silence, or to hustle and
busy away the precious hours Of social joy ane
home culture in sordid calculations.
Home cannot be an Egeria, yelling its bright,
glad waters of peace and happiness for the
heart, when the green and putrid scum of sell
6shness and child-hate is allowed to collect on
its surface. Sourness on the part of parents
will beget q sour disposition in children. We
cannot too soon recognize and act upon the great
truth, so forcibly expressed by Gardener Spring,
that 'the parent i, the god Of the child," especi
ally during its tenderest years. And this truth
once recognized, it becomes above all things
valuable to the child that its mother posses.

cheerfulness. Blessed is that home where both

Har Common sense rules the mass Of the
people, whatever the misnamed and misanthrope

South Carolina Legislature.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 9Th, 1850.
The House and Senate went into joint con
v~ention at noon to day. for the purpose of voting
for Presidential Electors, the result Of which
was the choosin- of the following:
For the State at Large.-Gen. VIM. E. Martin
and Col. A. P. Calhoun.
Congregational Distries-1st. John Williams;
2ud., Thos. Y. Simons; Ord. Geo. P. Elliott;
4th., Tilman Watson; 5th., Jos. F. Gist 9Th,
R. G.. McCaw. After the election of which q
resolution was passed as follows:
That it is the sense Of the members Of the
General Assembly; that the Electors this day
appointed, cast their votes for John C Breckin-
ridge, Of Kentucky, and Jos. Lane, of Oregon,
for President and Vice President of the United
States,
A resolution passed both Houses to the effect
that so much of the Governors Message as re-
lates to the call of a Convention of the people Of
this State, the re. reorganization of the Militia and
| preparations for the defence of the State, be
made the special order for Thursday next, at l
o'clock, p. m. ~
Whilst this resolution was before the lower
House, Mr.. Buist said he thought it impoliticto
take action on the Governors recommendations
until the result of the Presidential electioaf was
known, as those recommendations were based
upon the contingency Of Lincoln's election bat
contended If it be 80, as we have reason to ex-
pect and anticipate, that the contamination will
DO uutoward, and that Mr.. Linco!s will receive
a majority of the Electoral College. I may be
permitted to remark thatsit is my individual
opinion that the action of this General Assembly
should be prompt, immediate, unqualified, eff
f~ective and decisive.
Nothing more of an important character was
transacted, and both Houses adjourned to meet
tomorrow. W.

Good News from Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia.
We have had the pleasure of conversing with
a gentleman who returned yesterday evening.
from q special visit to several Of the Western
States, and has had interviews with the Execu
tive officers of the above States. He gives most
cheering news of the feeling which exists. The
public mind in Mississippi is intensely aroused,
and so soon as the telegraph gives sufficient re-
turns to make certain the election of Lincoln,
Gov. Pettus will Immediately take steps for con-
veuing the Legislature, that measures may be at
once taken. The disunion vote will be over
whelming. Mississippi will give South Carolina
co operation, and these two will in all probabili
ty be the advanced guard Of the Southern exc.
dus from the Union. In Alabama, too, the feel.
ing is very strong. The Breckenridge party,
and a large portion of the Bell party, are for re
sistance, and the opinion Of the leading men Of the
State is that the disunion vote will compose q
very heavy majority. Georgia is very much q.
reused, too, and the Governor, it is expected,
will call for a large appropriation to arm the
State. The feeling is growing that, sooner or
later, the issue will have to be met, and Georgia
will be ready for it. Gov. Moore, of Alabama,
is thoroughly aroused, and will, as soon as he
receives Intelligence that Lincoln has been elect
ed. issue writs for election of delegates from the
several counties. Owing, however, to the fra
ming Of the act, by which the Convention is to
be convoked, it cannot meet before the first OF
February. He has no discretion in the matter,
and, we are automatically informed, regrets ex'
ceedingly that he has not. In Louisiana, the
feeling is not 80 decided, though it is thought
that the disunion movement will prevail. Flori'
da, we are told, considers herself somewhat IN
advance of South Carolina. These indications
will crafty all who deprecated the issue Of soil
tary or cooperative State action. They give US
unity and harmony among ourselves, and readi-
ness to act as soon as the contingency renders 1t
necessary, without giving our enemies, if per
chance we should have such to interpose to pre-
vent our action, the advantages which they
would derive from our delay.-So"h CaroInian.
