EDITOR.

Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people arc large
consumers of every kind of merchandise inc
C0NSERvATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the
best mediums i'll the State for advertisers SO far as
Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal In the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundes
politica faith. With their assistance, the editor
Will cndeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and 1re-slde
companion.
Tho Political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confcderacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that 1.-the Plantation
States" have been the only suferers-that the
Union of these States is no longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is ''the cohesive power OF public
plumber r"-thc proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at
any price.
TERMS.-The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol-
lowing reasonable rates of subscription
One COPY per year, $500
Three copes. 500
Five copies. e.oo
Ten copies, lo.UO
Twenty copies, 2o.oo
Bsss~ The money upon these terms always to be
paid in advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearages
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrip-
ton price is rcccived unless at the option of the
proppictors, when the circumstances call for dif
fercnt course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the "Conscrvatist Newberry, S. c." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be adj
dressed to the Editor of the Conseryatist."

A New PIoT.-The Journal Of Com

A New PLoT.-The Journal Of Com
merce, usually a reliable journal, has the
following paragraph:
It is rumored that William j. Redpath,
formerly reporter of Kansas outrages for
the New York Tribune, has recently ar
rived at Port-au-Prince, presented to the
Haytian government plan for the over
throw of slavery in the United States
He is said to have promised to provide
2pOO men, if the Haytian government
would furnish sufficient money to equip
them and keep them in the field tor SIX
months; and to have declared that this
number would be sufficient, with the ac-
cessions of which they arc sure in their
progress through the Southern States, to
liberate every slave within the PERIOD
mentioned. The Haytian government
concluded it had enough to do to lock out
for Hayti, and did not care to be swal-
lowed up by Uncle Sam. This statement
is said to emanate from government OIL
cials at Hayti Whether entitled to Gre
dence or not, we are unable to say.

Dl:rN1oxisN.- Daniel Webster. III his eel
ebratedapcech. delivered at Capon Springs.
Va. June IS. 1851, said:
u do not hesitate TO SAY and repeat
that if the Northern States: wiifilly and
deliberately, rcfaso to carry into effect
that part of the Constitution which re-
spects the restoration Of fugitive slaves
the South would no longer be bound to
observe the compact A bargain broken
on one side is broken on all sides
What do the old Webster Wings say
to this Yanceyism of the Great Expound-
er of the Constitution, now that every
non-saveholding State East Of the Rocky
Mountains has nulli6ed the fugitive slave
law, and willfnlly and deliberately refused
to carry into effect that part of the Con-
stitution which respects tnc restoration OF
fugitive slaves.

THE TRADE OF THE CITY.-It is with
much satisfaction that we noticed yester-
day, in passing through the great centres
of the Wholesale trade in Meeting and
Hayne streets, that the merchants gener-
ally appeared to be fully employed, and
the sidewalks lined with boxes and pack
ages, consigned to all parts of the South
and Southwest. We hope that this is an
evidence of the determination Of the peo-
pie Of the South to build nj md ,iiistaiH
their own commercial cities and ".iow
Black Republicanism to s';bsist upon it's
own resources. Every dollarspeni Ncrth
of Mason and Dixon's line only adds 20 the
wealth and resources OF those who arc az
itating our ruin, and ii becomes every true
son of the South to support his own sec
ton Our merchants are amply supplied
with heavy stocks Of goods, much ofthem
imported direct, and they are determined
to sell on as good terms as any Northern
city-CAarlesion -Ncrcafy.
