sal acknowledgment of the truths upon
which our system rests. 1t is the first gov
ernment ever instituted upon principles in
strict conformity to Nature, and the ordina-
ton of Providence, in furnishing the mate
rials of human society. Many governments
have been founded upon the principle of
certain classes; but the classes thus ecslayed
were of the same race, and in violation of
,he laws of nature. Our system commits no
such violation of natures law. The negro
by nature, or by tho curse against Cain,
is fitted for that condition which he occupies
in our system. The architect, in the con-
struction Of buildings, lays the foundation
with proper material the granite then
comes the brick or marble. The substratum
Of our society is made of the material fitted
by nature for it, and by experience wo know
that it is the best, not only for the superior,
but for the inferior race that it should be SO.
It is, indeed, in conformity with the ordi-
nance of the Creator. 1t ia not for US to in
quire into the wisdom of His ordinances or
to question them. For His own purposes
He has made one race to differ from anoth-
or, as He made lone star to differ from an
other star in glory" ia -cr
The great objects of humanity are best at
tanned when conformed to His laws and de-
crees, in the formation of Governments as
well as in all things else. Our Contederacy

Great Distress in Charleston.


Correspondents of both the New York
Tribune and the Philadelphia Inquirer
write in describing the present and prospec-
tive condition of the Charlestonians as de.
plorable in the extreme. The latter writer
says:
am sorry to inform you that distress
arising from want of employment and the
high price of provisions, is daily on the in
crease. There are now scores of families
here who scarcely know where to look for
tho next meal. Meantime, all kinds of pro-
duce and provisions are steadily increasing
in price; beef, of what is here considered de-
cent quality, but which, in Philadelphia,
twenty-five cents per pound, and other
things are equally expensive. Clothing and
fancy goods are cheaper tnan usual, and for
two very evident reasons. In the first
place, scarcely anybody has money to in
vest in them; and secondly, the shopkeep-
ers are compelled to dispose of some, upon
the proceeds OF which to live. | see nothing
but ruin staring these people in the face. 1t
IS a sad sight to see our Southern brethren
so blinded by passion, at having been defeat
ed in Presidential election, as to lose sight
Of all the material interests of their families
and their State. They will speedily be in
the midst OF hundred difficulties
want, war, disease; and this year the last is
not likely to be the least Yellow fever,
which always seems at home here, seems to
be specially inviting this year. Filth and
stagnant water meet the view upon every
vacant lot; the five or six hundred poor emf.
grants who have been deluded in the cities
of New York and Baltimore into enlsting in
the Southern army, will doubtless be
amongst the first victims, unless they previ-
ously perish at the cannons mouth.
