Che kitchen, nay, she drawing room.
To-day the grand daughters, Of one of
these same good old grand mas, requires
one hour, fifty.hve minutes and some
odd seconds to Ak up her hair, or in
fastening securely large lump of
manufactured hair, yclepcd chlgnon, to
the oack of her head. Now this shows
how much the ladies have progressed in
tho matter of patience alone, not to say
q word of their progression in tho way
Of finding new use for crinoiines,
chalks, paddings, false hair, and thous-
and unmentionabies.
Man has progressed two. 1t is hsrd
to tell nowadays when We meet a
young lady whom to judge from apper-
ance, we would call beautiful, whether
her beauty is a gift of nature, or tho
result Of copious use of the inconceive-
able artifces mans ingenuity has in
vented, to supply deficiency of contour,
and so forth. We say it is hard to tell.
But there is n way
But what an objectionable depression.
Here we commenced writing about
young politicians, and we have got so
far offthc subject as to fnd ourselves writ
ing of young ladies and their chignons.
Beg pardon readers. We vii! return to
the subject with which We started out,
and not sin again by intruding ourselves
upon the sanctity of dear, swcc. wcman's
paraphernalia.
We said we want youth and cnthu-
siasm in our ranks. Without this our
party must go to nothing. The old
Whig party, the proudsst organization
that ever existed in this or any other
country, died natural death, because it
had grown infrm and imbecile from lack
of encouragement to the young. True
Republicanism must hold out encour-
ment to the young to enter its ranks /; it
must know that at the time when the
passions are strongest, and men are most
ambitious, the desire for favor is greatest,
and nominate young, or middle aged
men to prominent positions. Young
men instinctively know which is the
quicker road to prcfermcnt, and before
principles are firmly rooted, and cement
ed by experience, they choose that ban
ner to fight under which promises the
highest reward.
The Republicanism We would hold
out to the people of South Carolina to-
day, are the doctrines of peace, union
and prosperity to every house in the
land. We point the young men Of this
State to the ridiculous failures of the
Democratic party, the shoals upon which
its policy was wrecked, aud the great
loss of life and treasure incident to that
terrible Disaster Look at the fate of
your fathers, and ask yourselves but one
quoston-shail you take warning from
their errors aud misfortunes, or will YOU
plunge headlong into the same ruinous
aad saicidal paths which they trod =?
We have glorious country, worthy of
the stateman's holiest ambition, and
whose proud banner floats triumphantly
over forty millions of the happicst pco-
pie OH earth. We ask the young men
of the County, then, if they will not
step into the political arena and grasp
for distinction 2 We beg you to come
with us, to elevate good men to place
and power; aid US to defeat dishonest
men for every position that they have
the impudence and audaeity to aspire to.
Look at the good men we have among
us {: and yet we are forced torcgret to see
