He reserved him for a season that he might die as an example; and that as he stood on the fearful of the gallows, he might warn others, and say to them, in his rude poetry, "Reform ! ! " The husband, father and murder er, as far as earth is concerned, ex piated his horrible crime. lIe died on the gallows! Wife, children, husband and father, all sleep in graves opened for them by the poi soned bowl. Over their graves well may we write the words of the drunken hus band, father, and murdeacr : It is the followiig lip of thle, intoxicating bowl, That destroys lhe purie and damns the moul." This is a siiigle example, in the fearful anuals of crime, of the effects of intoxication. It might be multi. plied to almost any extent. For the records of crime, of the prison house, of the judgment-hall, and of tihe place of execution, are full of drunkenness. Nine-tenths of all the crimes in South Carolina arc to be ascribed to this fearful vice ! Yet there is no united attempt on the I art of the people to uproot the cause, and thus destroy the tree of crime! Would that such a man as Neal Dow, of Maine, could arise among us at the. South ! Would that some self-sacrificing spirit such as his could stand in our State house, and pointing to the Lloody records of crime, to our taverns, grog-shops, restaurants, groceries, holes in the walls, and distilleries, would say to (ur kgisl ators, in the language of truth :Suppress these rest hurses,I * tI1t Sun - drinks, u-ie every dio liable e. s izure, and then 6outhCaroa wi b. redeemed, and take her place by the side of Maine ! j .

Crime has comparatively e6ased within her bor ders. Where, oh, Xhtere is the Palmetto State ? Mother of ny life and af feetions, where art thou ?

'.his remark arises from ignorance. One .drop of alcohol would fill a tube whose length and diameter are thea ' hth of-ant inch. if you must prolong the tube four times, if you iiish it contain the same- quantity of liquid. . This is a mathematical fact, and therefore no &onjectui'e. Well then, go on de creasing the diameter of the tube in question, and prolonging it until you get a capillary as small as the smallest blood vessel in the human body, the tube will be of an aston ing length, demonstrating that one single drop of alcohol, when passed into the minute vessels of the human frame, will be sufficient to cover near ly the whole surface of the body, and consequen tty, as an inflamnuato ry poison, capable of deranging our health to a very great degree. What then must be the mischief effected by taking daily a wine glass or more of this pernicious spitit? To talk of moderation in the use of alcohol is absurd; the only moderation is abstinence. MISCELL AN EOUS. A Gala Day iWa NewV York--Time Presideaat's Ieceptioti. Thursday was a great day in New York, and it is estimated that its popu. lation was temporarily increased to nearly a million of souls by the great imflux of strangers, to witncss the re. eeption of President Pierce, and the inauguration of the. Crystal Palace. The Express, of Thursday afternoon says: Providence has favored us with oine of the pleasantest days of* the year, and tliluads upon thouisnd of tur fellow citizens frimi near and fir points are here to eijoy it.

Sumter's while a member of Congress in 1789.: The following from.Judge Burke, one of his col. leagues, alludes to that letter, and gives the votes in' the Congress of 1789, against the assumption of the debts of the States by the General Government. It will be seen that Gen. Sumter was the only one of our delegation who voted against that measure. NEW YoRK, 27th April, 1790. DEAR SI:-I enclose a few pa pers for your perusal; they will convoy to you- but little news, for we are rather barren of news. Going on four months, Congress has been engaged in the business of the revenue. The assumption . of the State debts by the United States, has taken up much time and attention. The States again.- that measure, are, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia (except one member, Col. Bland) Maryland, 6 members of Pennsylva nia, 2 of Jersey, and 3 members of Neiw York. The question on the Assumption is lost. South Caro I:na voted for it, except Gen. Sum. ter. . I expect some will try to make a run against Sumpter for it. I re spect the General for acting agreea. bly to his conscience and judgment -he may be right, and we wrong for aught any one can tell; for the effects and consequences that - flow from it, are in the womb of futurity, and- God alone can foresee them. The Gen eral thinks the measure would ruin the State Governments-he reasons judiciously on it. My mo tives n supporting,. the' assumption are such, .,as it would not .do to ,e.n tlie: House. In; Nst-plade, if th' St ate nothing, and" -. hive i1& .deathe People will ever Willingly bek.taed to make'20 shillings in "the ludi'id the specuilator, for W'bat cost him 78: pence. This will injuie ie State credit, and make the creditors bitter enemies to the State; 'they will form a phalanx, abuse the Leg islature, excite hatred against it, embarrass its affairs, and work mis chief in every %%%y. I think it bet ter policy to throw the odium of such a disappointment on the General Government even were the debts assumed). Besides, should the Un SseV'er, which, in case of Wash Ill~in t d ath or resignation, is not impssileCarolina, uninicumbered with her State debt, woulh be like a sohlier, with a light knapsack, having nly his arms to carry, could unuch'd ea,;iV an d take care of him sel!f. I 1hin1k the nutional debt of Am~iei'ca is su omos-through the necessities and profusion of the day, I have no idea that the nominal amount of it will be ev er paid, to the few speculators that IohIld the sec-ities. There 'must be a failure, ini my opinion--and I woul rahertheContinent should bear the blame and loss of cr edit and chiaracter, than a particular State; for I arguc w ith respect of our own. So they are going (I hear) to ri-n Columbia, and car:-y the Gov ernent back again. I am afraid the thing will be eff'ected; for they have only to thi-ow things into confusion, excite discontent, and above all, di vide you, and gain over some of youi-selves. Ilowever, I trecad, on forbidden ground at present. It mortified .your friends hero to find to Legislature had resolved to take no compensatin.-Were I an enemy to a Republican Gov ernent, and were I bent on throw ing all author-ity out of the bands of the people, to a few wealthy familji es, and confine it there, the first thing [ would do, wvould be to pass a. vote that the memnbersg should. t k no pay.
