The Somterville Baptist Chureb was opened for holy worship on Sunday last. The dedicttory sroi a'n, an ilteres ing and instructive one by the Rev. Mr. JIEaT.Ell of Darlington, was tomieid on the first verse of the ard chalter n Thessalonians, ", i nally, bretliren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and lie glorified, even as it is with you." Prayers were oficred by the Rev. Mr. MAsON, of Kershaw, and the Rev. Mr. GHuan , og this place. A prolonged meeting is now held in this church and we are informed, that several eminent linisters of the cospel ire ex. pocted soon to assist in the services. The congregation have not yet succeeded in - obtainming te services of a regukar Pastor, but hope to do so shortly. T he Yellow~ Fever. Ini Charileston the fever conitinues unabated ; the deathis average ahuo-t 20 daily. T1he deaths for the last 48 hours reached 20, showing a slight abatement.

There is no danger' of the fever' baecoming epidemic or spreading in Columnbiai. TheIm Usury Laws. One of' the quest ions of the age is undoubtedly the repeal o f the Usury Laws, which have so long stood in bold and futile relief upon the statute books of' civilized nations. In Eng. rand a committee in the Commons have reported unianknrously on the inutili~ty of laws regulating the value of money and in favor of the repeal of all res triction ont monetaury transactions. i.n this country the pr'ess are almost, iWfnot quite, unanmiilOnis in favor' of leav. ing money, like every other commaodi ty to regulate its value by the only uure test of deiimnd and supply, and we may hope soon to see thme sta tuter. against, Usury expurgated from our books and as we believe a more healthy tone given to the money mar (L llranch Allston Eq., of North Caro lina, has ,purchased one half of the Nor. folk DailaGdurier, and has become asso. eiuted with Ma Ilolstead, as joint editor f Vianagetus of Elec tiontjus. i1ansgeris of EIlertions will find the fol lowvinig extract (ite tisefutl : III Ith StaIt. payIg t 5 , s:oc. :;, (L2?e,) tho election for Congi-e s was ordered to bo behi in the same manner as for the State Iegislatuire, withont issuing any writs of eleetiot' except in case of vacancy In 1851, page 97, all acts were "suspend ed" until, u.der the census, our number of Representativi'. was letrmained.

We observe in the New Orleans Delta that the venerable Dr. Cartwright advo cates the revival of the African Slave, trade, as a check upon the growing arro gance and violence of the Abolitionists of the North. Senator Douglas, the great champion of the Nebraska bill, having been denied a hearing in Chicago by the ruffianly pro ceedings of the abolitionists, had, at the last advices, gone over into Indiana, and had been courteously listened to in a pib lir. speec!h at Indianapolis.

The report that Yellow Fever is preva lent in WViimington, N. C., is untrue. Our Minister in London, Mr. Buchan an, will not return home till next year. This was understood at the time he accepted his mission, and is, consequent. ly, no indication of unfriendly feelings be tween hun and the adiministration. Mr. Buchanan, it is understood, will be put forward for the presidency by his friend+, though he avows in his letters he has no personal aspirations of that sort. Gener il Cass avows the same thing.

It is upon this branch of your sovereign power that. the present change proposed i:s designed to net, and to immolate on the altar of the people's rights, this revered and long established maxim of your fathers. Brothers, awake, this change. is un called for by the people, and should the leaders of the party who advocate such a measure persuade you that the moral and intellectual improvement, of the masses by whom it is to be exer cised is competent, believe them not. I further charge you my brothers, to remember that if this principle is once sanctioned it immediately becomes a precedent, yes my brothers, it will be a step-stone upon which some future usurper may take his stand, and under tie very colour of the law, destroy the Constitution itself. Such my brothers, have been the follies and vices into which other States of the uni ii have fallen. They have been tearing away stone by stone from the beautiful tem ple your fathers erected and thus have destroyed the very Government they professed to :ave. B others, they have walked far and bold in the fully of their own hearts, for already 1' ye they turned the destroying arm against the peace, h~appiness and the domestic in. stitutions of your devoted State. Will you f'llow their example. Would vou avoid so fatal a heresy. Then dim not the light of the council fires of your State. Sustain y-ur1 Legi-la. ture in its ancient rights.

It scatterethl the an cient glory of the State. It pulleth down her ancient deteainders. and expo seth her ramparts :-horn and mutilated to tha ambitious fudes of demagogues :md aspirants.

Is it folly, is it restless amblition, or is it ignorance y'ou have been thus arous ed to pill away fromi your noble edi iee this pillar upon which rests the pec and we'- might say the futture prosperity of the State. Is it the spirit, (If '76 laboring thmus to perpetu ate the primitive principles of' a gov ernent so dearly boulght, an'] hither to so honorably sustaitned. If it is not then my brothers, even now, el~orts are mnakinig by many Lio indutce the people to take a fatal step on thais hi-rh way to democracy. The piower is with the people to unmake all that has beeni made. A mbition kniows this and will tamper with the people fur an exercise of' this powier. Brothers, each warrior, roni or citizeni, should knaow tht anmbi Lion like the serpent, lies hid under many devices. It is your duty, it is y*our province to guard with scrutiny, aind resist wvith steady firmness the ver'y begininings of' evil. Each separ ate departiment of your govern menit require's alike y-our watchf'ulness and care. The Legislature, Judicial andl Executive departments mlust alike sub. mit to your influence through the nighity nmediumo of tile ballot box, and it is to) you they look fur protection and perpetuity. It' you neglect this duty my brothers, and suffer your selves led by the wviles and caprices of the ambitious aspirant, you will most surely- find y ourselves when it is eventually too late f'or a rescue---a lost anld mnisguided people, like Samson in the hap of Deli lah, .shorn of' your strength anud inl the hands of the Philis. tiiaes.

Again my broth -rs, how instructive and animrating is the recollection of that convertion, organised at Philadel phia on the 29th of' May 1787 one of the greenest twigs of freedom's growth, they directed their State Representa. tives, to send delegates representing each sejarate, sovereign and independ cut State. This was then adopted as the met .od and has ever since been practiced by the Legislature of South Carolina, and we live my brothers, to enjoy the full fruition of blessing; more numerous than the most inspired wisdom of sages could at that day have anticipated. Our eyes have been opened amidst sc-nes of' trai'scendant beauty and ex cellence, and here are enjoyed amidst every vanity of mental aspiration the rights of rroan. Our ears have heard what wonders have been wrought in our gallant State, she has sustained her sovereignty and hitherto the identity of l'cr laws. Our eyes now see her haplpy s;tration, and we hear from afar the exulting exclaiation, that altho' Moses is not wit h us, we hnd ourselves sale on t he toy, of Nebo, where the la thers of nercies has been pleased to codiise his bles:ings.
