Oh ! JdU uk me not to »igh, .. -
Alid you- uk nie not to moan ;
But all this world to die,
j I would not be so alone *
Oh ! then comfort me no more!
For thy bounties all are vain !
for the joys that came before,
Cannot come to me again !
If thy Gilead tould be brought
From beyond tho elan of even,
It might pacify n!y thought—
Thorn is rest Cuttle in heaven.
till! there is no balm fur me,
And my tears must ever llow !
if they seem like grief to time,
They tie antidotes to woe.
For, within my burning heart,
- ’ ; There he lived celestially ;
But his smiles are tom apart
From its blank eternity !
Oh ! he lived upon mv breast
As the first bright star of even,
Wli<>» it bufns Upon the west —
There is rest for We in heaven.
ilo was all my sun by day,
ile was all my stars at night—
And though rugged Was (ho way,
He was always my delight.
*J Like (be raotsless dove that hies
From her dosolatod nest,
I must take mo to the skies,
Whore my little one shall rest.
For the woes that compass me,
Are like waves forever driven
Itoand an island in tho sea—
There is rest for mo in heaven.
Oh ! the Spring may come again,
On this desolated spot,
And refresh the sons of men—
Bat my babe will know it nut!
, Though the Spring may pass away,
hi- And tho Summer take its place,
And the Autumn bo as gay—
I shall never sec his lace
In this dark, cold world that lies
In tlio dimness of the eve !
I shall meet him in the skies—
There is rest for me in hsavon.
Though Ihe flocks may all he seen
In the tallies faraway,
And the mountains look as green
■“ As the sunny isles of day ;
Though the mucking birds may sing
On the river bunks at noon,
And the violet bolls may spring
From the rosy bills in Juno ;
Though remembrance mnv not dto
In the heart that now is riven
Yet, for that he will not »igl>—
There is rest for him in Irouvan.

But my sorrows soon shall eease,
And my spirit then shall ho ,
In that blessed isle of (leuce — I
In the holy land with lime. ,
Though my spirit.live to thirst I
For the healing wells ol love.
And my bosom come to binsl '
Fertile fountains from above;
Though my healing heart tuny break, i
And its lender chords bo riven 1
By this sorrow for thy sake—
There is rest for mo in heuvsu.
Though my bosom now is shorn 1
Os the flower that nestled there,
And ray spirit doomed to mourn
In the depths of my despair,
Though (hofountains ol my grief
\ Shull like Siloah't waters (low,
And shall bring me no relief
In this trying world below ;
Though my spirit shall he spent
Os its energies nt oven;
There Is joy for this lament— I
There is rest tor me in tiekveu. * 1
Though the sun shall come to fall
From his altitude on high,
And t he stars hencal h thee tall

Though the earth shall come to boast
Os her grave-clothes in tho clouds,
And tho universe tie lost
In tho darkest of nil shrouds;
Though the hand of thunder hurls
Every fragment, newly riven,
To tho crush ol falling worlds—
There is rest (or mo m heaven.
Oh ! you cannot comfort me !
Every antidote is vain !
For the joys that were to be,
Cannot come to ms again !
Tes! hut would you have me smile 7
Oh ! then lake tho wings ol morn—
Fly away to that bright isle,
Whore lha sun himself was ham '.
Bring mo liack the babe that made
All ray rosy paths so oven—
Bring me back tho early dead—
There is rest fur mo in heaven.
There is joy for thoso that weep f
There are joys for those that d'e !
There are harvests then to reap—

There are fislds forever green !
There arc rivsrs never dry '.
There are heavenly hills between
The bright rallies of the sky !

LOVE UNCHANGING.
Anb is it just or kind, ray mother,
To bleak rny heart to soothe your Own ’
And Wotild yoit give me to another.

And when a heart like mine is given—

L'ltehonging us the truth of Heaven.
Before the sacred marriage-altar,
With him alorte, hand linked in hand,
Sustained by trust that cannot falter,
Dear mother, will your daughter stand ’
Then deem not that such love will perish.
By any change, Or lime, or chance,
Or 1 can ever ecdse to cherish
Tho thoughts you vainly call « romance."
I'ndimmed will glow my true devotion,
Now rendered to his dearest name
L’nfaded bloom each swefet emotion.
Through life, through hie—the some, the same.

“ The Americans are neither to h edragonn.
ed or hambooiled out of their liberty,” was the
quaint but noble reply of Franklin, when the
British Ministry were endeavoring to sound
him as to the terms of reconciliation of the
Colonies. Two wise to he caught by the
cunning artifices of his country’s enemies, and
perceiving most clearly, the ultimate glorious
consequences which would result from their
acta of tyranny and opposition, lie disdained
all compromises winch stopped short of a
complete abandonment of their iniquitous sys
tem, and which proceeded upon any other
principle, than that of a recognition of our
independence. We ate reminded of this
declaration of tho American patriot, hy the
developements of the day. A blow las been
struck at civil liberty in our own country. The
very Government which he laboured so faith
fully to establish, has been converted into an
engine of despotism. The Constitution has
been (Campled under foot, the dearest interests
of the people sacrificed, and forsooth, wo arc
told, that all this is in tho spirit of our Institu
tions. The wicked and lawless faction who
rule over us, have most maliciously defaced,
mullilatcd mid falsified the public records, and
now, with wonderful impudence, they at
tempt to avert the heavy judgment which an
indignant and outraged people will visit upon,
them, by saying that their Hack lines , will
amount to nothing; that expunge (Joes not
mean to blot out or efface. This jg a compro
mise which the American people will disdain
to accept.—They will not suffer tho black
knights “ thus to dragoon or bamboozle them
out of their libortics.” The thing is 100 plain,
b ully sensible ol the corrupting spirit of man
worship, which prevails at Washington, of
tho late blin k act of the majority of the Sen
ate,they will, we believe, degrade its authors
to that level of scorn and infamy which they
•o richly merit. Tho Knights sec enough al
ready of the public mind, to make them fear
and tremble. The less bold, and hardened
among them, even at the very moment when
they wore doing tho bidding of Benton, la
mented the cruo) necessity which impelled
them to the act. But they were fettered in
the bonds of party, and to the parly, and not
to tho country, they owed allegiance. Wc
repeat, that the people will not listen to any ex
planations. They arc not to bo “bamboozled ”
The expunging act, was perpetrated in base
servility to Andrew Jackson, in defiance
of the Constitution and liberty of the country,
with the expectation of reward for their fideli.
ty and with the belief that his name and influ
ence alone would sustain thorn.—The people
view it in this light, and no other ; and the
Big Knight and the Little Knight, will find
that their talents for bamboozleing will fail in
this instance.

“ PERPETUAL MOTION.”
Our notice a few weeks since, of the self
moving machine invented hy|Dr. Stringfellow
of this city, appears to have excited consider
able comment, both, at home and abroad ; and
of course, we were generally deemed quite
“ 100 credulous,” for our remarks. Within
a few days it has boon exhibited to great num
ber of citizens, and strangeis; and we believe,
that with a single exception, all have pronoun
ced it to be, all that has been claimed for it—
that it is a self moving machine. All our
watch makers, and our best merchanics, have
given it a critical examination, and appear
lully satisfied that there is no recret agency
connected with it—ami indeed, to all com
mon observes, it would appear, from its sim
ple construction to bo impossible. Tho doubt
mg gentlemen, thinks it possible that ther i can
boa secret power, but every other individual,
whojiave seen it taken to pieces, and tested in
various ways, wo holieve'deeins such an tdea
preposterous. We regret that it has not been
formally examined by a committee of our best
mechanics, that all cavailing might be put to
rest. Wo now consider onr pledge to the
public redeemed : if we have been 100 credu
lous, wc are in the midst of a community e
qually deceived.
The machine, wc understand will leave the
city to day, for exhibition in other places.

THE POUR.
Messrs. Editors: The following is from
i Dick’s lust work on Christian Beneficence,
j Please find a place for it in your columns.
I “ll is nut however hy bestowing money di
rectly on the poor, except in certain urgent
cases—or by endowing alms houses, or asy
lums, except tbr (he blind, the aged and the
infirm who aro Unable to work, hut by alto til
ing a proper remuneration for labor to all who
enjoy health and vigor of bony and mind.
“ The true method of promoting the com
fort of the poor, is to furnish them with the
means of instruction and employment, to pro
vide them with comfortable habitations, to
teach them the rules of economy, temperance
and moral order, and to see that their chil
dren bo properly educated, in the different
branches of useful knowledge, and in the doc
trines and duties of religion. There are ma
ny ways by which such objects might bo ac
complished cither hy opulent individuals or hy
society at large. In the building of churches,
schools, lecture-rooms and work-shops,
throughout the country wherever they are re
quired ; in I lie cultivation of waste ground,*
the draining ol land, the formation of roads,
and comfortable loot paths, throughout every
part of the country; in erecting work-shops
and manufactories for all kinds of furniture
and clothing; in erecting new towns ami vil
lages on spacious and improve J plans, ike.
•Sic., in theso and many oilier operations, all 1
■ the poor who now infest our streets and bur- »
den our public charities, and pass a miserable ,
and useless existence, might be contortably j
employed. And while misery would thus be
prevented and happiness .thus diffused, im
’ provemcnls might be carried on to an indefi-, 1

the court martial..
A slip from the office of the New York Daily
Express, ofThursday last, contains the following
information :
'I ho Naval Court Martial recently sitting in
Washington, has closed its labors, and the name
of William. S. Downing ceases to occupy a place
iu the list of Lieutenants on the Navy Register.
A Court Martial, to consist of Brevet Brigadier
Gen. Brady, C->l. Bankhead, Capt. Galt, Capt.
Droaa, and other Infantry and Artillery Officers,
is to be hold in Charleston, for the trial of Major
, Gales, as soon as the present Court of Inquiry in
■ Frederick (hall have terminated its duties.
i OSCEOLA.
This Indian warrior has generally been denoun
ced as one of the most savage and cruel of Ins
tribe ; but if the following information given by
officers of high lespectability in the army of Flo
rida, to the editor of the Charleston Courier, be
eoirect, it goes a great way to redeem his charac
ter from that stain :
The Indians who came in with the flag of truce,
assert that Oscola is left with but few followers,
lie having become very unpopular with them, on
account of not being willing tu conform strictly
to their mode of warfare. Ho refused his coun
tenance to the massaefe of prisoners, and to the
murdering of women and children, and also con
demned the practice of burning and laying waste
plantations, declaring that lie fought for his home,
and was desirous of lighting fairly.
[fttOM OUK CORRESPONDENT.]
Wasuisotok, Feb. IClh, 1837.
Redder M. WniTNF.it was this day brought
up at the bar to answer to the contempt of the
House, with which lie was charged. He was
accommodated with a seat in the middle aisle op
posite the Speaker. The Speaker then informed
Whitney of the charge on which he Was arraigned,
and that the House had allowed him the assis
tance of counsel should he desire. He added,
however, that if the accused had any thing now
to say, ho would bo heard, and the House would
lake order thcron.
The accused replied that ho had in his hand a
paper referring to the charge, which he requested
might bo received and read. In Ibis palms the
accused slates, that lie did not intend any thing
disrespectful to the House, by refusing to attend
lha committee on the summons of the chairman.
Ho also denied that he has committed a-contempt
of the House, because the process upon hinrwas
illegal, and ho was not bound to obey it; and
because ho could not attend without exposing
himself thereby to outrage and violence. If
however the House should decide that he ought
to attend, then lie asks that the Committee may
bo instructed to receive his testimony on interro
gatories before a magistrate, or at least, they may
prohibit the introduction and use of deadly wea
pons in the committee room, during the examina
tion of witnesses.
This paper having been read, proposition was
made that Whitney now bo permitted to examine
witnesses before tho House, in relation to the al
leged contempt. This gave rise to considerable
discussion, during tho whole of which there sal
or rather lolled, the immaculate treasury familiar,
witnessing with infinite complacency the doings
of tho “ assembled wisdom.” It is the uniform
practice in cases like tho present, for the accused
to withdraw while the deliberations are going on
as to the mode of proceeding with him. But
tho wiseacres who thrust themselves forward on,
this occasion, to lake an active part, dtd not seem
to be aware of this decorous formality, until their
attention was drawn to it by Jit. Patton of Vir
ginia.
Mr. Lincoln of Muss, moved for the sppoint
ment of a Committee to report a proper mode of
proceeding. But this was clamored down hy the
parly in spite of tho remonstrances of Messrs.
Beil, Moore, Calhoun, and others. Messrs. Wise
and Peyton, with a becoming refrained
from taking any part in the discussion. After a
long and unprofitabls debate, a resolution was
adopted by a party vote, ordering that Reuben
M. Whitney be now permitted to examine wit
nesses, and appointing accommie on the part
of tho House to examine them also, and pro
viding that the examinations should bo conducted
in writing, Whitney was then asked by the Speak
er whether he was now ready to proceed. He
replied that lie was not, and asked the indulgence
of having till Wednesday next to prepare his
defence, which was promptly acceded to. He
sent to the chair a list pf witnesses whom he
wished to have summoned in the mean time, con
taining the names of Messrs. Marlin, Fairfield,
Homer, and Oillet, of the House Mr. D. Lewis,
of Philadelphia,and Mr. John Sullivan, of Wash
ington ; Mr. Garland, the chairman of tho com
mittee, was not among them—mark that! Ueu
ben knows hit men. Permission was granted
to summon these witnesses, and then tho Ser.
geant at-Arms was directed to remove the accus.
ed, and bting him up again on Wednesday.
Feb, Islh.
Accordingly R. M. Whitney was again placed
at the bar tins morning, attended hy bis counsel.
Francis-S. Key, and Walter Jones, Esqs. The
four members of tho House, whose names wero
given above, were then sworn; and the examina
tion of Mr. Fairfield, of Conn. (V. B.) was com
menced. He was called upon to slue purticu
larly all that occurred in the committee, on the
occasion oi tho unfortunate difficulty and distur
bance, and especially all that was said and done
1 by, and the whole demeanour and department of
U. M. \\ hilney, and Messrs, Peyton and Wise.
This question was objected to by Mr. Calhoun,
of Kentucky, who took occasion to direct tho
attention of the Houso, to the injustice of the
course they were pursuing, and its injuriousucss
to members of the House. He protested against |
this attempt la shift the investigation from Whit
ney to members of the House. I
1 ruly, Mr. Editor, this body does present an *
extraordinary spectacle. It is constituted as a (
High Court of Justice, and yet the majority there c
arc openly violating all Law, all precedent,—all 1
right. Reuben M. Whitney was summoned to 1
attend a Committee acting under the authority *
of the House. He peremptorily refused to obey c
the summons. Hois arraigned at the bar of the J I
House t» answer for this refusal; add what is tho s
course of proceeding I Is lie sworn, and ques- 1
honed, as to the alleged contempt 1 Not at ail '■ (
Instead «f putting him on trial, the prosecution is j
turned entirely away from him, against mom- i
bers of the House. Messrs. Wise and Peyton 1
are in reality under trial for contempt of Reuben J
;M. Whitney. How lias this accomplished 1
I you will be ready to ask—Why by the adoption
I of a resolution by a party vote, giving to Whit
ney permission to examine witnesses now ! Mr. 1
Calhoun argued with great force and spirit a I
gainst this unjust proceeding. Mr. Key, Coun- I
scl for the accused, replied at great length, con-
tending that the objection was made too late. |
Too late indeed. But the partisan majority had |
decided from the first that the investigation I
should be shifted from the “Perjured Traitor,” to j
two of the most high-spirited and gifted men of j
the nation.
A member then arose, and expressed a wish to
tcjoitl to the counsel of the accused. The parti- :
tan Speaker decided that this was out of order ! 1
Out of order that the objecting member should
hive lha privilege of reply ! Mr. Bell appealed
from Ibis decision, and proved the decision of
the Chair to be at variance with sound principle,
and uniform practice. He demanded that the
sense of tho House should be taken on the ques
tion, whether the objector, whoever he might be,
whether the counsel of the accused or a member,
should or should not have the privilege of reply !
It was taken, and the partisan majority sustained
the partisan decision of the unscrupulous partisan
Speaker, of course. Mr. Fairfield was then re.
quested to answer the question put to him. The
reinainderof the day was spent in the cross exa
mination Os this witness. In my next I will give
you soipc account of Ins testimony.-

IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN WHEAT.
The remarkable fact is stated in the following
article from the’Baltimore American, that 361,000
bushels of Wheat was imported into Baltimore
alone, since the last harvest:
“Wo publish to statement of the quantity
of Foreign Wheat imported into Baltimore since
last harvest, together with the dates of arrivals of
the several vessels, and the countries whence
shipped. The total amount of importations, in- '
eluding 14,000 bushels riceived coastwise, is up
wards of THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
ONE THOUSAND BUSHELS. The state
ment will bo found in our Report oi the Market
under the appropriate head. We believe that
very nearly the whole of the Flour manufactured
from these wheats lias gone to supply the Itomo
demand.
“The extent of the failure of the last wheat
crop is shown from the fact, that notwithstand
ing these largo importations, and their conversion
into Flour, the quarter’s city inspection of Flour,
ending on the 31st December last, show a failing '
off of 57,500 barrels compared with those of the
corresponding quarter or 1835. Another fact
worthy ofmention in connexion wflh tho subject
is .that prices havccontinucd to rise in the face .of
the irnpoitations, and wheats are now higher than
they have yet bean.
From the Philadelphia Saturday News.
A WARNING.
A correspondent of the Pennsylvania Sentinel
ststes that the disclosures subjoined were made
on the back of a $lO note of the Kensington
Dank, received a few days ago in payment of a
bill.from a country storekeeper. There is a ter
rible monition in this little record.
“ This is the last of 30,000 dollars, left me by
my father; I have been seduced by a passion for
gaining; but now, having lost all my fiicnds by
my indiscretion, am! this being the last, I shall
let this go for brandy and oysters ; for I believe
the curse of God was on the possession obtained
from my father.” A.
This note endorser, whoever he may be, docs
not stand alone. Multitudes have run-the same
career; many arc. following in the track, and
thousands will succeed them. It is “ a trick of
human frailty ;”.aml these inheritances too often i
prove a curse, though thb woi Id is apt to look i
upon them as blessings. It is rare indeed to 1
find a young man, “ whose blood and judgment 1
art so well commingled,” that he can safely be 1
put in possession of a fortune, which places him ,
beyond the necessity of applying to business,cs
l>ecially in a country like this, where so few -as
sociate idlers arc to be met with. Youth has, ol
itself, too many hazards to encounter, to be bene
fittod by adding strength to temptation, and pla
cing an abundance both of time and means for
indulgence within its reach. It is a much better
patrimony to know that in tho sea of life we are .
to sink or swtru by our own emuons, than that j
early manhood should give us the key of coflcrs z
filled with the proceeds of another’s labour. 8
The spendthrift, however, when all is gone, if ■'
he can learn anything, has acquired two impor- P
tant lessons—that a fortune may bo easily squan
dered with very little satisfaction to him who *!
throws it away, and that neither money nor ex- „
citeracnt constitute happiness. If able, like the it
brewer’s horse to draw an inference, he must be n
troubled with shrewd suspicions that, although 1°
sotting out with a determination to enjoy life to ij;
the utmost, and to render his existence one scene 1
of delight, he has mistaken the path, and has 0 (
found the very opposite of what he sought—ca- ar
ses of this kind are of everyday occurrence; but f
unluckily they seldom operate as examples, and J
there are few so fortunate as not to be compelled .
to learn the philosophy of living from their own j
personal experience. The school is frequently a .
hard one, and many pupils fall victims to the sc- 1
verily of the disrlipinc, but they who survive, !
and profit, have earned wisdom cheaply, even it
it be at the cost of “thirty thousand dollars.” ,
From the Macon Messenger.
It is encouraging to learn that we have at ,
last a portion of our Congressional delegation, ,
that have become known to others, besides I
the inhabitants of the country village or cross
road neighborhood they hail from. Were it
not for the ayes and nays, which, for some
time past have be n the only chronicles of the i
fame of our Congress men, we should really 1
have forgotten that we were represented in
the councils of the nation. But the era of
belter times is returning. Tho delegation
from Georgia at one lime was inferior to none
in Congress. Ol Wilde, Gilmer, Wayne,
Foster, Gamble, Clayton and Lamar, we were
all proud ; but of whom of the delegation for
the last two years, w <uld a’ny Georgian,away
from home, where merit was appreciated, pre
sume to boast !
Tne character of the State, we are happy
to soy, is about to be redeemed. Dawson,
Alford and Glascock have acquitted them
selves moat creditably; they not only have
the talent and judgement to estimate properly
the duties appertaining to their situation, hut

From the New Orleans Bee.
MR. JOHN Q. ADAMS.
This extraordinary individual, who has re
ceived so many and high and undeserved
honors from Ins countrymen, whoso real
character it is so difficult to ascertain, so
mingled is it with the ingredients of madness
and knavery, has at length committed him
self by an act which must forever deprive him
of all consideration among men of ail parties;
an act which is unexampled in the annals of
American legislation, an act which we thought
no one would have the hardihood to perpetrate:
he has presented one petition from We mnlut
toes in Fredericksburg, in Virginia, a[nd
another signed entirely by slaves, both, it is.
hardly necessary to add, in favor ofabohion
We fervently hope that the House will vindi
cate its dignity by expelling him with disgraee.
One thing is disclosed by the presentation of
these petitions which affords as much gratifi
cation, and is of some importance as shewing
the true character of those abolition petitions
which have been presented by dozens during
the present and last sessions of Congress. It
is asserted postivcly by one of the Northern
papers which we received- yesterday, and the
fact is beyond dispute, that the signers to
some of these petitions were all negroes and
people of color, and a large portion of the
signers to all those petitions were men and
women of that description. After this deve
lopoment, Congress is bound to refuse even
to receive any more petitions in favor of abo
lition.
The Whigs htve been unfortunate in their
choice of candidates for the Presidency. In
1832 their candidate was Henry Clay,who late
ly presented a petition to prohibit the emigra
tion of Roman Catholics and the naturalization
of foreigners. In 1828 their favorite candidate
was J. Q,. Adams, who has insulted common
decency by presenting petitions from free ne
groes and slaves in favor of abolition.

REMARKS.
''^COTTON.—We report quite an improved de
mand for this article, at rather advanced prices,
more particularly for the finer qualities, which arc
very much sought after. The improvement of
tha weather has caused the receipts to be some
what larger, and the sales much heaviei than a(
any period since the holidays. We now quote
14 a 16 j cents per lb., as the current rates, altho’
16j and 17 would be given for a choice lot.
In Groceries, Exchange, and Freights, we
,h»ve no change to report eince our last.
CIIABI.F.STON MARKET, Fob. 18.
Cation —Arrived since our lasi, to yesterday mor
ning,inclusive, 3930 bales Upland. Cleared m the
same time 143 bales. On shipboard not cleared,
4451 bales The sales of Upland have been 2336
balee.as followslls at 174 cents; 14 at 174; 171
at 174; 700 at 17, 44 at 16}, 610 at 164, 114 at 16},
277 at 114, and 291 at 16 cents. The weather du
ring the week has been unfavorable most of tho
time, for out door business, and the want of stock,
of the particular description of Uplands, which are
in most request; and holders of prime are not dis
posed to sell, we have but few sales to report. The
middU and inferior qualities are not saleable under,
s reduction of last week’s prices. We are in pos- ’
session of Liverpool dales to tho 3d Jan,, and Havre
to the 30th Dee. The former market remained
without any material change; the latter was heavy
at a decline. How eventually the European mar
kets may settle down, we shall nut presume to say,
but present rale.- with us ace ralher high for safe
shipments. We shall not, in the present slate of our
market, do more than note sales, for classification is
out of the question.— Mercury.

Wednesday, P M—The oily has become perfectly
tranquil. The rioters, the moment they perceive
that there is sufficient force to cheek their proceed

The mails to-day furnish us'with nothing of inter

We understand about 1200 bales were disposed of
yesterday. To Saturday the demand was moderate
for all description* ; the demand for common quali
ties has since diminished ; and the enquiry has been
principally for the better descriptions. The week
has closed with firm prices at our quotations. The
imports this week are 11,359 bales —Exports 6005
bales, leaving on hand and on ship board, not clear
ed 71,892 bales.
By an arrival at Savannah on the 9th inst. we
have Liverpool dates to the 29th Dee. and reports of
the market to the 28th.—Those reports are rather
favorable than otherwise, and show on advance of
full Id on, the better qualities of cottons. The ac
counts from the Manchester market are also favora
ble, and goods and yarns, of whie.h the stock is light
i are advancing. The stock of cotton in the hands
■ of the trade, is estimated to be small compared with
what they held at the same period last year; “so
that,” [these reports remark.) We may hencefor
ward count upon a regular demand, and a steady
'■ market

r THE BANNER OF ERIN.
1 A Weekly paper devoted to Irish News and
Domestic Literature.
TO BE Pt'BLISUEU IN CHARLESTON, S.C.
Vlte undersigned, at the solicitation of many
of his friends, has undertaken to publish,
should sufficient encouragement offer, a week
ly paper, to be entitled “THE BANNER OF
ERIN,” devoted to Irish information'and do
mestic Literature. There is no paper in the
Southern States at the present time which pro
fesses a devotion to Irish interest, and there
has been none to propose, though all are ful
ly sensible of the want of a publication of this
kind j the expense which must necessarily be
incurred in carrying this object into effect can
only be sustained by a good subscription list,
which, at so low a price as $3 per annum,
might confidently be expected.
“The Banner of Erin,” will be printed on a
large medium sheet in quarto, and furnished to
subscribers every Saturday morning, at $3 per
aim., payable on delivery of the'fourth num
ber, &8 50 if not paid till the end of the year.
