A Great Change.

The following is an extract from a speech
delivered by one Ogilyie Byron Young, at a
ratification meeting in Charleston. on the
evening following the surrender of Fort Sump-
ter:
g 1t is well for him Lincoln1 that there
is a popular movement in the South opposed
to his ascension to the Chair of State twill
save his head. For, rest assured, my coun-
trymen, that if the South shall prove herself
50 derelict, demoralized. degenerated. and so
lost to all honor and shame, as not to resist
to the very DEATH this cunning outrage upon
her honor and rights, more than one Ameri-
can Brutus would emerge from the moral de-
generation of the times, and the efemnacy
of the age, to wipe out the vile stains of his
country's pollution, and wrest her proud es-
cutcheon. at the dagger's point, from the van
dal grasp of the servile despot. And, if none
other can be found, this good right hand, that
was never raised to harm mankind except in
self-defence, would leap with JOY to the high
responsibility of driving the dagger to the
mscreant's s heart-and for that | should feel
that deserved well of my country, and of all
mankind For shall have saved from dis
honor that Old Arm Chair, over which the
raven wings of Black Republicanism has new
er lowered, and in which guilty shame never
sat-that chair, c0nsecrated. and made sa-
cred by the virtues of Washington, immortal
lied, by the intellect and wisdom ofa Jetfer
son, and illustrated by the yalor and heroism
of jackson. And haEing thus saved my
country from this deep and damning disgrace,
If, perchance, | might escape the halter or
the bullet of the lurking foe, | would live on
in the calm serenity of a conscience void of
offense. assured that ] had acted well my
part in the great drama Of life. But if
should fall, if the scaffold or the dungeon
should betide me, would die in the full as
suFanee that postqrity would vindieate the in
tegrity of my name, through all time from
oblivion.
mo, my countrymen, | would never die.
&c. South Carolina-the young morning
star of An2erican glory-has, to day, bid fare
well, a long farewell, to an ignominieus
Union, to geek elsewhere, by her own strong
arm and determined will, an asylum from
outrage, violence. and wrong. She Will not
long be alone in her glory. Before another
moon shall hang her pale crescent in the
midnight heavens, star after star will shoot
from these discordant spheres, until the whole
Southern hosts will follow in her radiant
wake, and sing together the gloria IN ercelsis
of their second birth-a birth of the spirit
and of FIRE.

MANsFIELD's Dispensatory says that most
OF the Sarsaparilla Of the shops is inert and
worthless. DIR. Aver in his writings on
this drug states that not only is it inert as
found in the shops, but so also are most of
the preparations from it, or bearing its
name. He shows, however that this fact
arises from the use of worthless varieties,
or unskilful preparations by incompetent
men; that the true Medicinal Sarsaparilla
CSarza smilax off, of the tropics, when
freshly gathered in the bud, is one of the
most effcctual alternatives we possess. Com
bined with other substances of great alter
ative power, like Iodine, Stillingia, Dock,
DC, it makes Ayers Comp. Ext. of Sarsp.,
which we have reason to believe is one of
the most effectual remedies for humors.
