THE GIRL OF CADIZ.
Tim following song, which baa never yet been
published, waa written by Lord Byron in the ori
ginal M. 8. otChildo Harold, in the placejof the
song to Inez, Which baa been hitliello substitu
ted for it in all tho public edilior.st—
Oil never talk again to the,
Of northern climes ntad British ladies)
It has not he on your lot to see.
Like mo, tha lovely girl of Cadiz,
AH hough her eye.bc not of blue.
Nor fair her locks, like English lassos,
How Dir its own expressive hue,
The languid azure eye surpasses!
Prometheus-like, from heaven she stole
The fire, that through those silken lashes
In darkest glances seems to roll,
From eyes that cannot hido their flashes;
And as nlong her bosom steal
In lengthen'd flow her ravan tresaos,
You’d swear each clustering lock could feel,
And curl'd to give her neck carroiBes.
Onr English maids are long lo woo,
And frigid even in possesnion;
And if tlicir charms be fsir to view,
Their lips are slow at Love's confession;
Bat horn bonoalh a brighter sun,
For Inve ordain'd the Spanish maid is,
And who—when fondly, lairly won—
Euohanta you like the Girl of CndtzT
The Spanish maid is no coquette,
Nor joys to see a lover tremble,
And if sbo love, or if ah" bate,
. Aliku she knows not to dissemblo,
Her hourt can no'er be bought or sold—
Howe'er it bents, it beats sincerely;
And, though it will not bend to gold,
'Twill love you long and love yon dearly.
Tho Spanish girl that meets yonr lovo
Ne’er tuunla you with a mock denial,
For every thought is bent to prove
Her naasion in the hoar oi trial;
When throngiqg foemnn menace Spain,
She dures tho dced.and share.-the danger;
And should her lover press the plain,
She hurls the spear—her love’s avenger.
And when, beneath the evening alar.
She mingles in the guy Helen),
Or sings to her attuned guilur
Of Christiun knight or Moorish horo, ,
Or counts her bends with fairy hand
Beneath the twinkling rays of lloaper,
Or joins devotion's choral bund,
To chaunt the sweat aud hallow’d vesper;—
In each her charms the heart mhal move
Of all who vontnio 10 behold her)
Then let nul maids less fair reprove
Because her bosom is not colder;
Through ninny n clime 'tis mino to roam
Whore many a soft and melting maid is,
But none abroad und few nt home,
May mntcli the dark-eyed Girl of Cadiz.

We Imve demined out paper Nome
limns, in older lo' give the Governor’s
Message, und some little of the proceed
mgs of the Legislii'urc, which met yester
day, according lu iho cull ol the Govern
or.
The Hon. Henry Deas was re-elected
President of the Senate, and the Hon. II.
L. Pinckney Speaker of tbe House of
Represeolatives.
The Governor** Mossnge was referred
10 a joint Committee of both Houses, con'

Pattcriim, from the Senato, and Messrs.
Preston, Noble, It. B. Smith, Player,

The Committee to day reported a bill

People pf the State, to consider ofaed de
termine upon Ihe Tariff question. Tho
hill proposes that on the second Monday
and Tuesday in November next, each dis
trict nnd parish elect a number of delegates
equal lo ihe number of senator* and repre
sentatives sent to the Legislature, and to

ft is probable that tbe Legislature vfill
adjourn by Friday or Saturday next.
THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
Fellow Citizens of the Senate,
And House of KeprunMitet.
In convening you at an earlier momcni
than tlte period fixed by the Constitution
for your iisuii] meeting, I have cheerfully
assumed whatever responsibility may at
tach to this exercise of my prerogative, un
der a belief that after our general elec
tions, you could not too soon be brought
together, to deliberate on the best means
of promoting the interests of those, whose
rights, whose liberties, and whoso public
honor are confided to your care.
1 should indeed have convoked your pre
decessors immediately after the adjourn
ment of the last Session of Congress, if I
had nut deemed it in every respect desira-
tile dial our people, in the exercise ol one
of the highest functions of their sovereign
ly, exerted in the choice of their Repre
sentatives, should, in the first instance,
have an opportunity of passing judgement
on the filial result of the proceedings of
that Session, which claims to have fixed
on a permanent basts, as far ns it can be ef
fected by Federal legislation, the settled
policy of the country. As the canvass,
which preceded our recent elections, was
conducted ill almost exclusive and absorb*
ing reference to the ultimate result of this
legislation by Congress,your selection rosy
lie taken as the exponents of this judge
ment. I cordially congratulate you, and
our State at large, not only ou the auspi
cious nnd elevated decision which our peo
ple, by infallible tokens, have thus made
hut also on the cheering indications of our
having already reachod a unanimity or
sentiment, nearly as grout «s the inevita
ble diversity of buraan opinions will per
mit, on a subject vitally affecting our dear-
esl rights and lihorties. Thus convened
under circumstances of profound public
anxiety, and intense public interest, you
will, I am sure, come to the dischaige of
ihe trust which has devolved upon you,
with an inflexible detfifmindtiohto perform
Us duties in an enlightened spirit of firm
ness and moderation, worthy of the occa
sion and of those inestimable principles of
constitutional liberty! which it will be one
of the most impressive of our obligations
to preservo, and forever defend. ,
It is known to you, Fellow Citizens,
that ihe most anxious hopes of the good
people of this State, were directed to the
proceedings of the lost Congress of the
United Slates. The necessity of providing
for it large reduction of Federal Taxation,
consequent on (he proximate extinguish*
ment of a large public debt, the strong nnd
well founded complaints of a respectable
and patriotic porlion of the States in this
confederacy, tbe solid grounds bn Which,
as a matter of constitution*! right, these
complaints rested; as well as onr just,
claims to h reform not only in the abuses of
the exercise of the power of taxation on
tbe part of tho General Government, but
in the aliases of the appropriation of the
public treasure after it if levied; inspired
even those prone to despond, in suite of
inauspicious ofaachs, with some faint ex
pectation, that these great and alarming
questions of political power would be set
tled in a spirit olimphriial justice and with
a considerate regard to that amity nnd mu
tual concession, so.essential to the preser
vation of a confederacy composed of co
equal and co-ordinate sovereigns.
It is scarcely heceifsary that t should in
form you in detail, what lias been the final
result of these delusively cherished expec
tations. for you arb’ii. possession of an au
thority on (his subject, infinitely more va
luable than my own. Two thirds of your •
Representatives and both of your SedatoYs;
after efforts on the floor of Congress of ,
signal ability and disinterested patriotism,
iu which every species of conciliation wss
exerted, that a just and wisd moderation
could dictate, short ofsitrreedering tl prin
ciple essential to your constitutional liber
ty, have solemnly declared to the people
of South Carolina, in the face of the world,
“ That whatever hones may have been in
dulged at the commencement of the ses
sion, that a returning sense of justice, on
tlte port of the majority; would remove or
materially mitigate tho grievous load of
oppression undor which you have so long
labored, nnd of which you Imve so jnstly
complained, they are reluctantly con
strained to declare that these flattering
hopes, too long deferred, and too fondly
cherished, have finnlly and forever van
ished.” In proof of (his disastrous con
summation, they could not better have re
lied on any lesiimony than that on which
(hoy did rely, tho Tariff act of V892,
Which, by u pot version of every principle
of common senso nnd common justice, has
been called a compromise between the
conflicting interests of the 'manufacturing
nnd plantation States, on principles of e-
quivalent benefit to both, 11 is unnecesM-
ry gentlemen, that 1 should inform you,
who are so well instructed upon the truo
grounds of the controversy; that this impa
led compromise itt destitute of every fea
ture of thnt justice and equality that ought
to characterize a measure bearing such to
appellation. We might well In advance
have distrusted the compact for thin ad
justment, in which it tVan found expedient
not to consult, at any period of the nego
tiation, our senators and two thirds of our'
Representatives, and #hich bore upon its
face the signs of its being in some re
spects a subtle contrivance, to bead the
pecuniary interests and constitutional lib
erties of the people, to a struggle for the
executive potver of the country. Bui a-a
part from those extrinsic objections, tha
adjustment is,iDtrinsicslly not a mutual,'
but an exclusive compromise of all the
just claims and interests of the South.—
The Tariff Act of 1832 is, in point offset,
a law by which ihe consumption of the,
manufacturing States is nearly relieved oT
all sort of burden on those articles which
I hey consume and do not produce, and un
der tho provisions of which, they are se
cured a bounty on an average of more thab •
filly per cent on the productions of tbeit
industry, whilst It taxes our consumption
to an equivalent amount, atid the ex-
changeable value of onr products in a much
more aggravated ratio. The law hears
thoimpress of the legislation of an indepen
dent sovereignty to a fesbla and disiunt
colony, and establishes the revolting dis
crimination that the la boa.- of the South,
is lets entitled to Ihe paternal regard at
this Government, than thrt of a more fa
vored soction of the Union. The provi
sions of the Act are, moreover, at war will)'
every acknowledged principle of wise and ‘
beneficent taxation, which has ever existed'
among any people on the face of the earthy
having ilia shadow of a claim to civiliza
tion or a just knowledge of finance. Ar
ticles ofluxury are selected as the objecH
of comparative exemption from ail burden,
whilst those of necessity bear nearly tho
whole brunt of the impost. The great,
staples of the industry nnd consumption at
man, which purchase seven-tenths of onr
agricultural products, Iron, Cotton and
woollen fabrics, salt and sugar, are bur-
thened with u tax quite equivalent to ab*
average of Mvonty-ftvo per cent ao ibaff
