THE Committee of Ways and Means for
South Carolina Legislature have reported
that the State will need 81 $3.50, 1855, to meet
the expense of the year, whish is little
more than half a million above its ordi-
nary expenses. Last year the State in-
creased its debt about SI2O, 900. The mill
itary contingencies of the year are put at
Ss5o,OOO, which is considered very low
estimate. The committee proposes to raise
the money needed parity by an Issue Of

Is the secessionists Of Alabama are ig-
norant of the right name for secession, it
is not the fault Of Jere Clemens. He was
member of the State convention, and was
opposed to the passage OF the secession
ordinance. Seeing that it was passed, even
If he voted against it, he decided to give
his vote for it, But he accompanied his
act with this frank statement:
The act which you are about TO commit
is. TO my apprehension, treason, and sub
jtcts you, If successful, to all the pains and
penalties pronounced against that highest
political crime. or modest political virtnc,
according TO the motives which govern its

pursued BY tho majority, do not choose
that any man should put himself in dan
ger Of u halter in defense Of the honor and
rights Of my native State, without sharing
that danger with him.

lation as will compel the poor white man
