He is ostcnsibly and fraudulent
ly tho representative of tho first
, district Of South Carolina--cor-
-ruptively but croneousIy called
tho representative Of Horny, Mar
ion, Williamsburg, Darlington,
Chesterfield, Marlboro, Sumter,
Kershaw and Lancaster Counties !;
native Of Maldon, Massachusetts,
and preacher Of Methodism by
vocation who desccrated tho pull
pit by blood tbirsty dcclamations,
and now carrying tho curse which
his Creator cast upon him, who
would preach "good will and char
ity to all men," whilst in the pull
pit, and whilst in the Legislative
halls, call upon u scourge to do
vustatc the land and annihiiate
the people, falsifying their wishes
and desires, and using every
means to prostitute the duties, he
has so dcspicably obtained ? His
cowardicc is too excessive to pcr-
nit his entering the army as u
soldier; he enters rs u chaplain in
the tilty-third Massachusetts vol
untccrs, keeping as fur away, from
field Of actions as he could he OK
ccutcd as much good as tho fox,
whose kin he is. whilst among Il
nri righbor's chickens, associating
himself with the Blacks Of the
State, he by incendiary har-
rangucs, became their loader, and

tative Hall, in seat number SO, and
from the reflection or the light on
The corner he disSraccs, it is prob
lematical to determine whether
our eyes behold man or the
friend who represents tho devil.
With not sufficient mind to dis
Germ what is being legislatcd, we
hear nothing from him but "Mr.
Speaker! Mr.. Spcakcr!" and Mr..
Speaker, following the instincts Of
4 man, and that or almost all other
members Of The house, refuses to
notice II form who tnlsifics his con
stitucrts and Li .yrac, his place.
He is called representative, and
he refuses to aid his constitu.

pie oil the State, / permanent inju-
ry. Coming 10 this city rs the
icloncous representative, he pro-
mulgatcs his v'cness by parasital
Ialseroods aud pcrjured state
mcnts. His acts are all aimed for
the injury of the State and his
own parsimonious aggrandisc-

The remainder Of tho delegation
arc guided by his d,ctation. III
fact he goes so far as to sign in
furious letters sent to the depart

the South Carolina delegation"
Not satisfied with injuring the
people now living in tho State, he
prys into secrets, becomes an

this city--with tho scrpent's will,
and the scrpents wickcdness, he
steals into the domestic life, pois-
oning all that is pure-dcfying
God, destroying man, Il demon in
the disguise Of virtuc-a herald of
hell in the garb Of innocence. B.
Frank Whittcmorc is the name he
is called by II vain, black, and
rabid coxcomb, whose vices tingc
the frivolity Of his folly with good
head enough to contrivc crime,
and not heart enough to feel for
its Consequences viIe insect that
dcsocration has painted igno-
miny plumed, and fortune elevat-
ed for the putrcfaction Of our at
mosphcrc-dangorous alike, in his
trcpidity and animation-infest-

fore many years sink back into
that abode Of obscurity, cxccra-
ton and ignominy from whence
he has for time arison.
