Mr. Dodge, of N. Y, looked upon any bill that

Gov. orr,s Message.


We lay before our readers; this week, the late
message of His sExcenency, Gov. oRE, to the
Legislature of South Carolina, nov. assembled in
extra session. Theable document in question is
neither long nor labored therefore every ono will
read it. And this being tn, case, we need enter
into noanalysis or synopsisiof it. In our opinion
itcannot fail ,toimeet the almost entire approval
Of the people ofjSouth Carolina. Many men will
perhaps object to certain recommendations in that
part concerning the negro code. The abolishment
of the Grand Jury in the District Court, and the
doing away with bond and security in the case Of
one man indicting another, as is there ADVISED
would, it seems tons, be very dangerous innova-
tions. We earnestly hope these alterations will
not be made. As to the advice concerning negro
testimony, we think it admirable. The time has
come when we must lay aside divers long cherished
notions and prejudices, and come up to "thc
spirit of tho age.e This in, the South, is an idea
and phrase, which is abundantly ridiculed just
now; but nevertheless, it has plenty of sense and
reason in it.
Gov. Onn takes a clear and concise view OF the
situation and wants Of the State, and makes
many importan. suggestions on four grcat points
which, if acted upon wisely and we'll, cannot fai
to bring relief to.all classes of people, and bene
fir 70 nil classes of society.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1866-09-12
The Penitentiary.

Gov. ORR recommends Penitentiary in South
Carolina, and so; We believe, do most of the pa
pers in the State. And so do We most heartily.
Simply that rascals AMI malefactors may be
made to cork, and thus, nolens rolcns, do sonc
good in the world. They should by all means bc
made to support themselves while in jail
Above, We have alluded to "tho spirit Of the
age :" but still we do not share one whit IN the
IN m,wkish and ridiculous sentimentalism which sees
such special degradation in corporaipunishments'
We do not see that q thief is more degraded BY
whip or pillory than by the verdict which pro-
nounccs him thief, and puts him as such in the
pcnitentiary ut hard labor. The degradation is
in the crime; and the man mean enough to steal
cannot be degraded by the lash. We advocate the
Ponitsntary therefore, because of the valuable To-
Dor that will be done, within its walls, aud not on
account of the modern refnements whichwili pre-
vail there.

A Nasty Mess.

A somewhat numerous and extremely nasty SCI
of Radicals met in Convention in Philadelphia
on the 3rd and adjourned on the 7tb. AS they
are, unfortunately, too numerous to call by name
let it suffice to say that all the nastiest niger
lovers, North and South, were there. Delegates
were present, if we do not err, from every South
ern State except South Carolina. And there were
some present who were not so nasty rs others
And the less nasty Border State Dclegates) were
not in favor Of immediate universal negro suffrage
and quarreled with tho very nasty, who were the
former finally retired in disgust; the latter, left
alone, quarrelcd, We believe, among themselves
Tho nastiest Southern men present (than whom
none could by any possibility be nasticr) we're
old Brownlow, Governor of Tennessee, and Jack
Hamilton, Ex-Gov. of Texas. Fred Douglas, the
rich niger from Rochester Tor some where up
therol in Now York, was delegate. And Wen
dell Phillips was there. And the ghost of old
John Brown was there. And the spirit of Dostie
lowered around. And Beast Butler was there.
And Anna Dickinson had to do with it. And
Abby Kelly no doubt. And the whole thing was
as nasty moss as Christians ever behold. And
we arc delighted to say that no good to the nasty
cause can possibly como out Of it.

qualities which endear men to their kind
Tender and loving in all the domestic rela-

with an earnest, practical, loving faith in his
Saviour-he lived and died the model of 8

bright example, which we recommend to oul
childreu's children, and memory which, We
trust. will never die, while the State chershes
her old love for purity, worth and courage.
