HTHE MYSTERY SOLVED. a-J. N. THE
PHILosopHER--We are in receipt Of a
letter from the Immortal J. n, which
informs US thai he will be in Woodsfeld
in . few days ]. Ms reputation as a
philosopher and orator is world wide, and
ii affords as great satisfaction to announce
his coming.
N. assumes all; he acknowledges the
pressure all on himself, and for the cause
of truth he is willing to make all sacrif
.ces consistent with truth; and from a phi
losophical view, to lift the veil that en-
shrouds his views. j. NJ, triumphant in
the assured victory of his immutable
truths, and confident that the world will
soon recognize in him the greatest phi
losopher since prehistoric times at least
announces that the pressure has become
so tolerable that it is no longer necessary
to martyr himself in every country town
in the land. Still, it is necessary to keep
the people wide awake to the fact that be
holds the truth, and is lifting the veil Of
preiudice. He wants all to turn out and
hear him, SO that be can be fully under

The 4th July Convention.

Congresses have assembled, prrlaments pro-
rogued, ard Consistories held, but never have
reasons been more imperative than those which
call for the Democratic Con vention. It is to
seek to arrest the plough-share OF ruin which
is madIy driven through the fair fields of Anne
rican civilization. Society is threatened with
nihilism; the antipodes are at war, 1t is a key
moment 1t is life or death to truth and liberty
beyond peradyentu1e. Tie event is fraush,
with interest encngh to challenge the attention
Of the angels, aud place man in sackcioih Men
stand with bated- breath, to catch glimpse OF
the pale white light of regenerate government
or to bid sad farewell to the declining sun OF
liberty. It is presumed that wise couusels will
prevail. That the lights and shadows of the past
may counsel that moderation which should be
known of all men. There can be no union
of sentiment without unity. Thep let unity of
sentiment, and Tot divisive counsels, prevail.
Let many members simply lend the moral force
of a dignifed reteence. "lt is better to be right
than president"

great moral delinquency has been
brought to our attention ; We can scarce
ly realize it. That great decentralization
exists we are aware, that there is a
marked falling off among our people is
established beyond doubt. They are
not as they used to DC. Everything and
everybody is sadly out of joint, and We
thought that the climax had been reach
ed, but alas, alas, we fear that the half
has not been told, and that there are
reVealings in store which will astonish
and startle the imaginations of men.
The publicity Of human trailties is not
always beneficial, but are calculated to
make the heart callous and engendcr o
love for vice; in this particular case,
however, We are forced to pursue J. diff.
ferent. course, and bring to light an af:
fair, the revelation of which will stamp
it rs new sin under the sun. There
are men living in this community, who
pass over important notices, which ap-
pear from time to time in this paper, as
advertisements, with a warton disregard
to their own interests, and disrespect
to both advertisers and paper. We cry
out against it. These men are igno.

sgcncy at this place for the Equitable

Veto Of the Qmuitus Bill.

The President, in returning to the
House Of Representatives, the bill, en-
titled IAN Act to admit the States OF
North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisi-
ana, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, to
representation in Congress" and known
a>the omnibus bill, in short, emphatic
terms, objects, asitassumes authority over
six States of the Union which has never
neen delegated to Congress, or is even
warranted by previous unconstitutional
Legislation on the subject of restoration.
It imposes conditions which are IN dero-
CATION, of equal rights of the States, and
is founded upon theory which is sub
ver>ive ofthe fundamental principles of
the Government. In the case of Ala
bama, it violates the plighted faith Of
Congress. by forcing upon that State a
Constitution which was rejected by the
people, according to the express terms
If an Act Of Congress requiring that .
majority OF the registered electors should
vote upon the question OF its ratification.
For this and various other reassns of
which the above is an extract, the bill is
returned for action Of Congress. That
action, our readers arc already informed
~ofiu:the passage Of this iRiquitous BILL
and the order. convening the. Legislature
Of South Carolina. - .....,>--..'- 80, .-.

The Nomination.

The multiplicity of opinions floating
on the tide of every day affairs, are all
idle speculation. There arc those who
pretend to know, and all credit is accor-
ded them for their wisdom in being able
to discern the secret hidden things. Our
privilege is to speculate also, but as there
are ready made notions, it is preferable to
give them, and let the speculative reader,
who is inclined to politics, work out his
own peculiar scheme. Be it remembered
however that short period only inter-
venes when the fiat will 60 forth from the
great democratic convention, that this or
that man is he against whom all the COM
bined powers Of radiealisn shall be ar
rayed, and for whom, if there be any
showing of hope for the South, the uni
ted wings of the democracy will battle,
and we believe triumph. This is sufi.
eient for the present. Current gossip
gives Chief Justice Chase large proper
ton in public favor; Mr.. Johnson too
is prominently held up to consideration {;
while Hancock and Pendleton are again
spoken of decidedly, with chances in "a
vor of Hancock. We hope for the best,
and that the nomination be not in favor
OF Mr.. Chase.

The Governor Elects Messags.

Tie Phoenix gives an abstract of the
message of General Scott, to be pre-
sentcd on next Monday, to the Legislature.
He urges an immediate extinguishment of
the State debt, and advises rigid economy
and equitable taxation to insure payment OF
interest coming and now due. A thorough
system of public schools is recommended
and that Congress be asked for help, the
State being too poor to pay for them by
taxation; that laws be passed encouraging
immigration that citizens be relieved of
all disabilities thorough reorganization
of the militia, encouragement Of railroad
enterprises, and measures for completing
the Blue Ridge Railroad; modification OF
penitentiary, Jail, and judicial systems, and
hopes the Bureau will be terminated by
October. Speaking of recent disturbances,
he SAYS that all citizens should be fully
protected in person and property, and in
free exercise of all rights and concludes
with the hope that an era of good feeling
has been inaugurated, and that the martial
valor of South Carolina will be displayed
in supporting the flag OF the country.
Speaking of the Message, the News
says: "It appears to be temperate in
tone and judicious in purpose, out its
practical value will, of course, depend on
the degree Of attention which is paid by
the Legislature to its discreet recommen.
dations." r.

In the last number of the, Topographic
Messenger appears a diagram OF lower

has three divisions in which arc the en-
quads to the right, and the 4and 5 EN- spaces
to the left; the en- quad box is shared by

slight as to. produce little or no inconve,
nience, and the benefit derived will be Of
great Importance. A computation has been
made of the number Of movements made
and the distance Travelled by the hand in
the setting and distributing Of eight hun-
drrd pounds of Plea (abous 100000 ems

located cases amounts to over TWELVE

The Carrier Dove,

Or the MecklenoHrg Female College
Magazine, is the appropriate title Of an
elegant periodical, devoted to Literature,
Art and Science, and issued quarterly
under the supervision of Rev. A. G.
Stacey, and is edited principally by the
young ladies of the Institution, whose
name it bears. Its articles are judicious,
and reflect great credit on its fair edi-
tresses. The magazine contains 4S pa
ges, beautifully printed, and is furnished
at the low price of 81. We are pleased
to know that its circulation is quite ex.
tensive, which shows an appreciation
for so beautiful q paper, and we cordially
recommend it as worthy a place in
every home, where there are young peo'
pie Of either sex. Our young friend,
Frank P. Beard, Of Columbia, is the
agent for its circulation, and we hope
that he will receive o number of sub.
scTiptions from this place.
