The Convention, which will assem-
BE in q: few days, must doubtless
speedily restore the State to her
former relations in and under the
Union. Her civil government re-or-
ganized and put in motion, the deli
cate and responsible duty will devolve
upon her representatives in the next
Legislature to select wise and able
statesmen to represent her interests in
the Senate of the United States.
After the experience by the people of
this State, of the capacity and wisdom
displayed by her Provisional Governor
in his successful administration of af-
fairs during the present transition,
the suggestion of the name of the
honorable gentleman for the high and
distinguished position as a Senator
from South Carolina, in the councils
of the nation, will not be deemed pre-
mature. Thirty-five years of public
service in the two branches of the
State Legislature, in the discharge of
which he was distinguished for his
independence of character, soundness
OF Judgment, enlarged views, and a
comprehensive policy, attest his supe-
nor qualifications, and prominently
recommend him as the choice of the
people. His consistency as a public
man has singled him out before the
people of the whole State, and so
marked has been his devotion and
attachment, throughout his political
career. to the Union, that it earned
for him the approving eye of the
President of the United States. His
appointment as Provisional Governor
OF the State is sufficient testimony of
the high position in which he stands
with the Administration at Washing
ton, and IS the surest guarantee the
people can have for the promotion of
the welfare and prosperity of the
State. II political sagacity and wis
dom, and decision of character. are
the attributes which fit men to puard

them: Burying past prejudices and
forgetting former dislikes, oil parties
now unite in pronouncing him wise.
If he did not sanction the early
movements that precipitated so dread
iul revolution upon the entire coun-
try, 1t was because his Judgment con-
demned the principle. This was the
best manifestation of his love for the
honor and glory of his State. Time
and events have since vindicated his
course and approved his policy. Let
HIM receive the reward due to merit,
loftiness of character, integrity of pur-
pose and enlightened wisdom, and
the people will then realize the great
advantage adv ant to be gained by selecting
tor the dir :ction of the~affairs and the
protection of their interests, a man
sprung from their midst, and who, in
heart and soul, is essentially devoted
to the influence of

The CoNvENT1oS.-Ast the proceedings @
the Convention may be expected to be of
absorbing interest to all persons in the
State, and as the Phesni1 will make daily
reportc Of Its progress and the results from
it, besides publishing in full the new Con-
stitution the moment it shall be ratified, it
will be well that persons desiring to sub
scribe should do so in due season. In the
present scarcity and cost Of printing paper,
publishers cannot venture to print upon q
mere speculative or possible demand. We
shall publish but a few more copies than
will suffice for our customers, and unloss

Work for LeEislations.
Assuming that the members of tho
Convention will confine themselves D
the simple purpose for which they are
brought together, and which involves,
perhaps, no higher duty than the
mere registering of decree, nothing
can be predicated of their action with
regard to the. future policy of the
State. This is matter which belongs
wholly to the Legislature, and 1t is
onewhich will task their abilities to the
utmost. The first serious embarrass-
1nent to the domestic Government
must be found in the financial poverty
of the State, and, possibly, the utter
badness, at this juncture, of all
financial invention. Money must be
had for the maintenance of Govern
ment; yet the most experienced busi-
ness and thoughtful brains may well
be puzzled in procuring base of
operations on'which ITO found credit,
effect loan, fly kite to any profit,
or devise single scheme of subtlety
in banking operations, by which, if
only for time, ,,to procure the means
of simple State existence. Where are
salaries to come from? What shall be
the measure or quality of taxation?
How shall the people contribute to the
support of Government, when so
few can procure the adequate means
for their own support? What volume
of distress and misery is to be read in
the case of the thousands of widows
and orphans, whose resources were in
Bonded debt, or other chooses in
action, in dwellings which have been
destroyed and which they cannot re-
build, and in the mutual support of
communities, interchanging uses and
Offices in trade, the trade itself being
subverted. To compass sufficient
financial scheme for the support of
Government and the succor of the
people, is at once the paramount ne
cessity and the unparalleled difficulty
which the legislators will need to sur
mount. We confess. our utter inabili-
~ to discover the resources upon
which our statesmen can build, or to
which they can look; and unless the
Government of the United States
shall feel it incumbent upon them to
repair the evils which their own action
has occasioned, by an assumption of
cur debts, the case becomes too fright
full for contemplation. To annihilate
three billions of property at blow
to achieve a great benevolence and a
grand work of humanity-as negro
emancipation is assumed to be, at the
expense of one portion only of our peo-
pie, and without according to the peo-
pie thus despoiled any equivalent
not only monstrous act oflegislation,
but a destructive hostility to the supe-
: riorrace: It should be part of the plan
of the Legislature, through well
chosen commission, so to bring this
matter to the consideration of Con-
gress, as to impress upon it the equal
justice of our demand and the abso-
lutte necessity of its liquidation, if our
country is to be saved from ruin.
Why should not Congress assume our
debt, at least to the extent of the four
hundred millions which Mr.. Lincoln
was prepared to grant? This sum,
though really but one-tenth Of the
value of the property thus taken from
us, would at least enable our people

MELODEANS.
THIRTY-FIvE THOUSAND NOW In USE


I n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
l. boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet operate but the want of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (Which is the
only bellows used id instruments,) ade il ina
musical tone Tor which our instruments are cele
brated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was. that both teet being occupied, no opportuni-
~ was offered for the Management of the swell.
Within the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this European plan CT Sc double blowers,n
have been Manufactured in this country, and to
counteract this difficulty want of a swel) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee. The inconvenience and contortion neces
sary to effect this object, disagreeable enough
to gentleman, but 10 lady the of such an
appendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device obvates this difficulty en-
tirely, the simple act OF blowing with less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melod cons has not
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
nous demand has made il impossible for to
meet our orders promptly. With increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring our pat.
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
