THE SOUTHERN EXILE /!

mHa tit1 me tuEidth '-stWE RETURN NO MORE"
This exquisite and patriotic poem was written
by DR.. SAMUEL H. DICKSON, Professor of Practice
of Medicine in Jefferson Medical College of Phila-
delphia, formerly of Charleston, S. c. "To appre-
ciate it properly" says the correspondent who has
kindly furnished us with copy for publication,
sit must be remembered that the authoris the oldest
lecturer on Medicine in the United States, and is
now over seventy years of age, with q large family
He lost all of his acquired wealth IN the late war;
and now lives upon his salary. He has been IN
the chair of Practice of Medicine for over fifty
years, FIRST at Charleston, then at New York, and
now ct Philadelphia"
Farewell to all I have loved SO long,
Farewell to my native shore;
Let me sing the strain of sweet old song,
81 return, return no more"
1t breaks my heart from, friends to part,
And mine eyes, mine eyes, the tear drops pour,
While mournfully repeat the cry,
81 return, return no more"
Though hero breathe in ample space,
And gather with fuller hand,
Naught can eface one single trace
Ofmy own dear distant land.
With many beat my pulses throb,
And mine eyes, mine eyes, the tear drops pour,
While wearly repeat the cry,
81 return, return no more"
When others sloep, wake and weep
To think Of joys long past,
And wish and pray for the happy. day
/ That shall bring repose at last.
Sad memories fill my soul with gloom,
And mine eyes, mine eyes, the tear drops pour,
While YEARLY repeat the cry,
"I return, 1 return no more"

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.

Among the worst features of the Constitution
now about being forced upon the Taxpayers of
South Carolina against their wishes, is the extra
ordinary taxation embraced in its several provis-
ions, and landowners will necessarily be required
to pay On undnc proportion Of the taxes levied by
tha next Legislature. It is petty and tyrannical
confscatinn scheme, mono the less odious because
Z of its co#srdly character. With the hope of
forcing large bodies Of land into market, under
tnrexecutions, theseworthies have sought to wrest
spoWer they dread from the grasp of the present
owners of the soil. It may ensue that they are
doomed to disappointment, for many reasons, and
That these Utopian schemes will never survive the
arst attempt at enforcement. At any rate the sug
gestion so wisely incorporated inte the Constitu-
ton Of the Democratic club at Flat Rock church,
In shis District, is we'll worthy Of consideration,
namely, that tenants, and employees receiving
part Of the crop their wages, be required to pay
-aproportionate share Of the taxes assessed upon
the land they cultivate. We're this generally
adopted throughout the State, it might possibly in
Auence the members elect to the Legislature to
pursue liberal policy towards landowners, and
have some weight especially with that large ma
jorisy of members who arc not real estate owners,
and whose condition and prospects in the future de-
pend upon the cultivation of land owned by white
persons. Their sympathies, at least with their
ewn GLASS and race would deter them from pursu-
ing course at once suicidal, if they were warned
fin time TINT this was the determination Of their
more fortunate neighbors.
Another capital suggestion is mnde by the club
already alluded to, in reference to employing Ia
borers. 1t is simply that recommendation be re-
CURED ct their hands, showing that they were dis
charged or had fulfilled their contracts. This
would meet the difficulty which many anticipate in
regard 10 the probable immigration of voters just
before I'm election, and prevent their obtaining
even tea days residence in the District, unless
their intentions were clearly manifest. Intima-
stions have already been given that q fresh i'm
portation Of this kind might control the election
in the interests of the Radical party, and it is i'm
portant that the farming community be on their
guard for fear they "entertain angels )unawares"
There can be no injustice to well-disposed and
law-abiding persons by these suggestions receiving
the approval Of our people generally. Every
stratsgem will be resorted to by the Radicals, and
It becomes US to consider well our line of COZ
duct and mt suffer at their handle, if prudence and
energy viii prevent,

CONSERVATIVE MASs MEETING.


We are authorized by the President of the An
aerson Democratic Club to extend on invitation
10 all conservative citizens to attand public meet
ing as this place, on Saturday, 2srd istaHt for the
purpose Of nominating q candidate for School
Gonmissienar. isparticularly is desirable that
every ighBorkood in the District should be rep
resented, andi possible, that delegates from pri-
mary meetings authorized to act for their respec-
tive sections. The various Democratic Clubs al
ready organized are earnestly requested to send
delegates and whero no Organization exists, that
leading men devote little time towards ascertain
ingthes sentiments Of their communities, either
by holding meetings or otherwise.
