ment Of his benefcent promotion OF universal
education" 1t is mounted on a base, and to
the right Of the medal are two palmetto trees
in gold, six inches high, around which is twined
the ivy, the emblem of friendship. To the left
of the medal is the figure of Benevolence, with
one hand resting upon the medal, holding in it
q spray Of laurel, and with the other i .1oint-
ing to Mr.. Peabody. Under the palmetto
trees are two children, one representing
white child and the other black; the white
child pointing to Benevolence and the black
one to himself, as if-saying, Sam I,toos to be
educated" the base is six inches long, three
fourths of an inch thick, and one and one-quar-
ter inches high, and the whole work is OF solid
gold. In the rear Of the medal, resting upon
the base, is perfect globe, which revolves,
and around this are books, and various instru-
ments representing the progress Of civilization
and education. On the front Of the base is our
national shield, executed in enamel. The
medal is inclosed in handsome cabinet Of
ebony and bird's-eye maple, lined with purple
velvet, the top Of which, revolves when the
medal is placed upon it, thus exhibiting it
without placing the hand upon it to change its
position. The entire work was made with
tools, and not struck from die. It is most
beautiful piece Of workmanship, and is greatly
admired BY an who have seen it.

The Position of The News.

The Asrcuryis glad because it fancies that
it has detected an Inconsistency in the
course of The NEWS, in our comments on
the meeting of Saturday night. It's mis-
take lies in regarding this journal as the
champion of the Columbia Convention.
We objected, and still object, to the claim
Of that body to truly represent the Democ-
racy of the State, on the grounds that the
notice of its meeting was insufficient, and
that q large and powerful portion of those
for whom it claimed to speak were unrep-
resented in its deliberations. And it is for
precisely the same reasons that we cannot
consider the omnibus-load Of very respec-
table gentlemen who were actively con-
cerned in the gathering at Hibernian Hall,
oompetentto speak for the Democracy. e.,
the vast majority of the white citizens-of
Charleston District. The meeting was
called at twelve hours notice, and included,
at the most, not more than two hundred and
fifty persons. In our view, therefore, while
the Columbia Convention assumed to act with
an authority to which it was not fully en-
titled, the meeting of Saturday should have
been the last to question the legitimacy OF
its action on that score. 1
The Mercury assumes that we have ere
pudiated the Democratic party" The
NEWS is an independent, and not party,
newspaper, and could not have repudiated
that which it has never embraced. With
out fear or favor, it will praise or censure
parties and measures as they shall seem to
deserve. Though its hearty sympathies are
with the present efforts Of the National
Democracy, SO far as those efforts are di-
reoted to secure justice and the restoration
of constitutional law to the South, it has
little faith in mere politicians Of any stripe
or section. Bound to the fortunes Of no
clique, and tied by its necessities to the tail
Of no party, this journal has no other aim,
politically, thanto maintain the honor and
advance the interests of this city and State;
and, in the furtherance of this aim, it will
not hesitate at any time to speak the plain
truth; however unpalatable that truth may
be to petulant and disappointed rivals. &
