the satisaction to announce to their patrons and
the Planters, generally, of the Cotton growing re

’ at the exhibition held at Charleston, S. C. and at
every Fair where samples of cotton fr*m them
have been exhibited.
The Proprietors have in their possession nu
merous certificates from Planters, Cotton Brokers,

The Voter.
Ten years ago,
Or so,
In old Connecticut, there lived,
And thrived,
A lean apothecary, with a shop in which
lie and his father both got rich,
This establishment, besides the cases,
Contained a boy to deal out pills,
Prescriptive cures for all the ‘‘ills
That flesh is heir to;”
To beautify the hair too;
And up from the centre of the shop
Did pop,
In summer sultry days, the soda,
YY hich ceases, to flow .no-dky.
Attached to this extensive druggery was a black
Man, a sort of hack,
Whose duty ’twas to carry prescriptions
To£the sick, with verbal descriptions;
For Sambo could not read,
Though he could bleed,
Nor write, forsooth
Though he could pull a tooth,
But Sambo was a voter, he had money,
Which made him a voter in that land of honey,
One ’lection day, a vote,
That someone wrote,
Sambo secured, and for a safer place
To keep it, laid it in a big glass case,
So when the time came
To name
His choice of officers to reign that year,
No fear!
And haul oppressing tyrants o’er the coals!
N ow the boy,
Whose right employ
Was to administer the pills
And squills,
Took, from a sort of druggist’* Babel,
(No fable,)
A written label,
And placed it where
Sambo had laid his vote with so much care.
Town meeting day arrived (that day so noted
Through Yankee land,) and Sambo early voted.
***** *
The inspectors made their count
To this amount,
And thus they did deelare
In there:
“For the Whig candidate there doth appear
A clear
Majority of ten,
And then
One scattering vote for William Carter,
And one for “Cream of Tartar.”
Liocs.
Suggested on being at a party in the winter of 1850.
We are here convened, a congenial throng,
To while the moments with mirth and song,
Each eye speaks joy in it;f light,
We’ve met, we’ve met for night.
Not a heart is sad, not a b£ota rest,
Not a ray of youthful In.pc haslcft,
Not a beam that gladdened life’s bright spring
lias fled with time, on his airy wing.
Still the bloom of youth on each cheek doth grow,
Unfurrowed save by the smile’s bright glow,
Let us form a dance, we’ve a circle bright,
We’ve met, we’ve met, for a merry night.
Let time move on, in his wonted way,
And age advance with it’s tresses grey,
We will drink the cup of pleasure dry,
And drain the dregs, e’er it passes by.
Though nature enrobed in a pnll of gloom,
Seems coffined safe in her final tomb,
We have crackling fires and a merry light
We're merry all, it’s a merry night.
When our youth with it’s gilded scenes has fled
And time has crushed neatli his iron tread
Full many a flower in the heart’s parterre
That had grown and bloomed and flourished there.
From a soil so rich there will others grow
Till they’re nipped by age’s shrievling snow,
But hush my muse, you’re an evil sprite,
You’l disturb the mirth that prevails to night.
CIIEHAW MINISTREL.
The Devil of Haste.
Os all the devils and devilkins, who, wheth
er black or blue, torment poor mortals, we know
none worse in many respects than the devil of
Haste. And among us westerners he has a
great swing and sway. lie has entered in and
possessed us, and we are but bound slaves to
do the bidding of our master. As the Metho
dist minister expressed it, “we are born in a
hurry, and expect to die in a hurry.’’ To cap
the climax, Nat. P. Willis has got up as the la
test title, a book called Ilurrygraphs. That is
too bad ! Do let us have one quiet nook in lite
rature where all is cool and calm and comforta
ble, where there is no click of the dollar, no
scream of the engine, no hurry of politics, no
din and smoke of the battle.
The devil ot Haste drives men too fast, and
drives them too far. He rides them in a stee
ple chase, like Mr. Briggs in Punch. He has
exploded the idea that life is a journey, a voy
age, a pilgrimage, as used to be thought in the
good old days of Johnson and Addison. What
men ask for now when they ride is not bit, and
bridle, and saddle, but spurs. That is the most
important ofthe equestrian’s dress. Our Gos
pel is one word. “What thou doest, do quick
ly.” “Go ahead,’’ is the watch-word, without
always taking the other half ofthe maxim, and
first being “sure,” as David said, “of being
right.’’ We are urged too far as well as too
fast. We overdo our good things. If we are
righteous, we are, as a wise man said, “right
eous overmuch,” It we are conservatives, we
stickle for our grandfather’s buckles and breech
es, and our grandmother’s high-heeled shoes
and pillions. And if we are reformers, we want
to make the man in the moon shave that shag,
gy beard of his, and put on a clean dicky, like
other Christian people. Men have sharp faces
as if the end and aim of that member were to
cut the air. They have an eager look, as if they
were after somebody. They step quick, as if
they were going to take the cars or boat, and
as though they were too late.
A great deal is said about annihilating time
and space. But those two respectable individ
uals cannot so very easily be ma4 e ‘ v iW with,
and if they could, it would not be desirabje to
do it. The fact is, we should be very misera
ble if we had our own way, and could clap on
a Fortunatus wishing cap, and whisk ourselves
across the Atlantic in a jiffy. Our old bones
were not made for such tantrums. It will do
for elves and fairies, and such like, but never for
poor us, flesh and blood. “Slow and sure” is
our better way yet. Many of these people who
are too anxious to annihilate time and space,
end with annihilating themselves. They get
dragged offiu a balloon, blown up in a steam
er, or crushed in a nitch between two cars, that
attempt the awkward and ridiculous feat of go
ing in opposite directions on the same track at
the same moment. Besides, when you get
your space annihilated, you don’t get infinity,
and when you get your time annihilated, you
don’t get eternity. You get more time to loaf
and smoke and drink in. You get more room
to play the fool in, and that is the upshot of
the whole matter. Noah had no ambition to
destroy time; he took the flood coolly, and was
not impatient when it rained steady for forty
days; and Moses had no such headlong haste
in crossing the wilderness as our modern pil
grims, for he was forty years about it.
We call this Ilaste a devil, and devil with a
capital he is; no good angel he. Lo what he
does, and how wickedly and mischievously he
plays pranks. Our betters and olders used to
say, “Haste makes waste.” So it does. De
vil haste is, under another disguise, Devil
Waste. He hurries us in our business so fast
that we have no time to say our prayers, or
read our Bibles. lie makes us eat too fast, eat
too much, and drink too much, and not half
chew, or half ttvste our food and drink. —
lie brings out young ladies very yonng
and they flutter through a few* seasous
of admiration and fashion, and die of consump
tion before their grandmothers began to live.
He beguiles young men to buy their time before
they are twenty-one, and go to California or
some other graveyard to lay their young bones
before they have half lived out their days.—
When Ilaste turns architect, he builds houses
that tumble down on the heads of the joiners
w hen they are finishing them. When lie acts
the ship carpenter he hiunches fine vessels that
go swift—to the bottom. Haste to the engineer
is terrible. He bursts boilers, smashes cars,
and out-herods Herod in killing innocents, and
out-Burkes Burke, in chopping them up, and
mangling them to pieces. He ought long ago
to have been indicted, tried, and convicted as a
wholesale murderer, and capital punishment
would be very lenient for such an essential and
arrant villain.
When we were children, they told us very
often, we must “mind our stops.’’ It is well
for men to mind their “stops,” and we may say
that if they would count one at every comma,
and two at a semicolon, and three at a colon,
they would not as often as they do now come to
a full period. But our men of forty are grey
and bald. Ninety-seven of a hundred of our
merchants fail in some crisis of their lives; not
twenty out of a hundred ever acquire more than
a large competency. Eat slower, masticate
your food twice as long, think before you act,
speak when you know what you are going to
say, and then you w ill hav e some chance of be
ing a decent human being, and not of fidgeting
and fluttering through life like a kuuted hare
with the dogs at his heels.
One would suppose at the rig and rate men
are going on here, that they thought that Prov
idence would have a hard time to get on with
out them. They hurry up history, and get
more great, wise, good, and astonishing things
done in one year, than would make a whole
decade of the common era. Their generals are
all Alexanders, and their Statesmen Solons.—
This last speech was the most remarkable spe
cimen of eloquence the world has ever heard ;
and the last painting the finest picture the
world has ever seen. We have a great many
“remarkable” men. “You know James Smith?
He is a very remarkable man.’’
J %
Come let us be sober people. We cannot
fly if we try, and therefore let us be content to
walk, till our wings are grown. We shall get
ahead quite fast enough, by putting one foot
before the other. Life is not a race-course,
where the booted and the spurred, tilting at
headlong speed, are the winners. It is a long
walk, a slow, up-hill climbing, and the snail is
quite as sure to win in the end as the fleet
hare. Silver is better than quick silver, and
light is better than lightning. Well done is
twice done, half done is undone. Eternity is a
long while.
There is a great cry in these days of “pro
gress,’’ “improvement,” “reform.’’ I leaven bless
the words, every one ! But all haste is not
progress, nor all that is new true, any more
than all is new that is true. As censors of pub
lic manners, as observers of national evils, as
well-wishers to our readers, we say exercise the
devil of Haste. Study to be slow in a good
many things. Shave slow, or you will cut
you; eat slow, or you will choke you; drink
slow, or you will have the dyspepsia; walk slow,
or you will get a sun-stroke one of these bla
zing days; bargain slow, or you will get bit;
promise slow, or you will rue it; be slow to
speak, till you are certain you are uot going to
make a fool of yourself.
Nature has very slow ways, judging by our
standards, but they are perhaps full as good as
any we could plan. She grows her beans and
peaches slow. She rolls round her years slow,
a minute at a time. She opens her orient
gates slow, and shuts the Occident slow. She
bowls up the white silver moon slow, through
the deep blue midnight. Slowly and surely,
gently and truly she winds her way,—and j
teaches men to be patient and wait, rather than 1
break the golden egg before it is hatched. —

LETTER FROM COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Oct. 26th, 1851.
L. F. W. Andrews, Esq.
Sir :—I have endeavored to show in my former let
ters, the right the foreigners have to the sympathy of
the older settler* and inhabitants of this great country.
I full well know that very many persons enter
tain thoughts of an opposite nature altogether. There
are very many who think that foreigners area grievous
burtbeu on thie country and its inhabitants, that they
ought not to be encouraged, so much, and above all
should be longer in the country before they could vote
at the ballot-box. Some think it very well for for
eigners who are not Catholics to come because this class j
of persons think Austria, France and Spaiu—being
supposed to be Catholic countries, would, if the C’ath- !
olic Religion became pretty strong here, ultimately
attempt to conjointly exercise power iu this country.
They think therefore that the greatest evil that can be- t
(al this couutry is to have many Catholics come to it —
and of course that it’s greatest blessing would be an in
crease of any other religious denomination.
Well, the other class think that ‘ Foreigners’ have
too much power here, they are getting so numerous
here, aud enjoy so many privileges, that really we can- j
not do or say anything but we are brow-beaten and
defeated by those intruding foreigners. ‘We have,
(say some beardless boys who have been reared in
listlessness and luxury) to be 21 years of age before
we could vote , and are therefore shut out from having
a voice in our country, while a foreigner can vote in 5
or 6 years after his arrival, and vety often has boldness
enough to push for offices which we ought to possess.
In this thing of giving too much liberty our country acts
wrongly.’ Well, now to combat those supposed argu
ments I will begin with the Ist, ‘foreigners have too much
power are getting too numerous,and are a burthen.’ This
is certainly bold speaking in public and private, and of
courso coming from ‘Native Americans’ ought to have
much weight. But let me see who are the Natives.
Why free born Americans to be sure. No foreigners
of course, men whose iathers tilled where they till,
and whose bones lie in the old Church-yard—indeed—
Well now I believe differently. Arkansas ntay with
mete justice give rise to more right of claim of native
Americanism than New York, Massachusetts, or
Pennsylvania. Native Americans descended fiotn for
eigners and adventurers turning round and finding
fault with the iaws of this country for extending to
others the privileges which their fathers enjoyed! If
the emigration offices of New York, Boston and other
Sea Ports, were to be examined as far back as 50 years,
we would find that the sires of those Native Ameri
cans have come here to claim the privileges which
their degenerate sons enjoy the benefits of, and from
which they would exclude—if they could—their own
first or thirty.first Cousins.
When Columbus first landed on this land of free
dom he opened anew world, to which as to an Ely
sium the oppressed might come to enjoy the glorious
soul-stirring and pristine rights ofiman. The rough
billows of the Atlantic were buffeted and cleaved by
many a heavily laden vessel, many a brave heart and
stalwart arm combatted nature’s stern realities. Oft,
did the sounding axe reverberate through the woods,
and many a vegetable monarch fell and made the sur
rounding mountains and lakes give back the thunder
ofi the white man's march, glorious did the pioneers
work, and long and arduously did they fight against the
viscisitudes of climate and fortune. They never shrunk,
‘Creation was all before them,’ they conquered, the
forest assumed an Ely sian appearance, human skill and
industry conquered every obstacle aud ultimate last
ing success rewarded their efforts. Years rolled ov
er, others followed, had similar obstacles to conquer
and similar success crowned their labors. Monarchs
crushed their subjects’ religious and political rights.
Confiscation, degradation and religious persecution be
gan to exercise demoniac power. Those who could, I
did leave their fathers’ land and steered for the land \
ofi promise. Liberty’s glorious torch illumined their
way, and while the glorious Sun cheered them every I
day, at night they were cheered by his glorious retreat
iu the distant horizon to which they were steering.
Thus did many a brave spirit land here, and thus ‘
it was that the monarchs drove the good men from
them, to thrive in the w ide spreading forests of a coun
try, which was one day destined to show to the
world, that man was made for self-governmeut—that
crowned heads and eoronetted brows, that State!
Churches, nor standing Armies no more than floating
war-ships, are not essential for a nation’s greatness or j
advancement in all that is great and good. Foreigners l
they were who did this. Foreigners they were who
done ali for this couutry that rendered it unmatched
uj>on the world's surface.
In the influx of foreigners came men from all na
tions, but then as now most from that bleeding and
down trodden land—England’s play-ground where her
savage leaders delighted, like young Tigers, to kill those
victims for the sake of wallowing in their blood, yes
from under Henry’s, Elizabeth’s, Edward’s, short, and
the following long reigns, the oppressed and'mere’ Irish,
came to a land replete with food for their minds and
bodies. Pure liberty suited them—they increased like
the Israelites of old, under their Task-masters. They
were trampled—they left, and here fostered the spirit
of antipathy against their oppressors, until ‘the Sun
burst,’their ancient war banner of freedom gave forth
its effulgence, then rallying round their new homes,
in the hallowed recollections of their old, they met
their oppressors, and the result, I thank Heaven, we
well know, feel proud of, and enjoy the blessings. This
did strangers and foreigners do, when men who now J
taunt them with what is more ‘their misfortune than their 1
] fault,’ were unknown to all, excopt to Him who knew
them before they came here, to talk about wliat they
do not understand.
Having said this much in favor of foreigners let us
now see why the new comers who have left, in nine eases ■
out of ten , for the same causes as the old ones, should I
not enjoy the same rights as they did T There is a dif
ference between the two. It is this, this country in
the times I have alluded to, had no republican govern
ment. Monarchiai power, and despotic in part, was,
to a certain extent exercised here. Foreigners left
tyranny at home and sought relief here. They on
joyed all the priviviles of older settlers, at once. The
same industrious pursuits, carefully followed, would
give them the same chances of success, and this with
out swearing allegiance to this country. But the day
came and the foreigner of a month’s residence was not
known to the battle field, hrom the twenty year's re
sidents they had one common enemy the English
Lion, one heaven-called Leader, George Washing- j
ton, and one common cause to fight for. Their mot
to was-what should be ours-‘ Happy homes and Altars .
free.’ By their victory and death they still left open
the general refuge for liberty’s children. Is it politic
in men now to try to undo what Washington did ?
It is true there is more vigilance required now, and it
is quite right to have a test whereby a man may be
known as to his sincerity of character, for as Satan
best knows what he forfeited by his disobedience, and
as man was made to take his place, no wonder he
should through envyq wish man far from it, aud use all
endeavors to stir up disunion of good principles. So
it is with England, site knows what she lost here. She
envies this country, what she does now hold, and of
course it is quite right to have some proof of who are
and ate not for H\\J Union of all that is great. Now
the foreigner’s test gives a proof as strong as Heaven
and Earth can make it.
And new I think after five years residence in this
country, an honest industrious man, by whose industry
and skill something has been added to the national
wealth of this country, that such a man, swearing as he
does to protect the Union of this country from foreigu
aggression, ought not to be hindered from (nor in lull
ed in) the exereise of just prerogatives.
Look at the foreigners in this They work
harder and more constantly than the ‘natives.’ Who
dug the Canals, made the Rail Roads, cleared the For
ests, built the Cities of this country? Foreigners, and
now their sons who got the hard earned wages of
their fathers’ labor, (because forsooth*they chanced to
be born in a free country) turn round upon men who
came just as their fathers did. Absurdity.
Well now for the second part of the play. ‘I maiu
; tarn fearlessly that noman has any right whatever to*
exclude another man from holding any portion that
his physical! and moral powers entitle him to hold, sim
ply because, he may differ from him in religion. And
agam, that this country has no right whatever
to question or interfere with any man’s religious ooiu
.ons, has no right to slight him or thwart him beeaus.
he may be this or that —has no right to support or en
courage one denomination of professing Christians more
j t lan another. All it has to do, when a man enters
under its laws, is to hold him amenable to them while ‘
he a, , resident here, and if he applies for his natur
alised rights in common with other men, to grant them *
to lam willingly, and then let him provide for l.ira
~l. This granted, then I think ,t impolitic, unjust
and ungrateful for any man or body of men to private
ly or publicly disseminate the belief that the CathoHo
religion is subversive of Republicanism or that if Cath
olics become more numerous, their'power on account
of their numbers has to be dreaded.
I have shown that persecution has driven thousands
to this country, the worst kind of which was then as
now religious persecution. We need hut look to many
of the old btates of this country, to find that many of
then- first settlers, were Catholics, and that many of
the most useful mineralogical and other discover*,
were owing to them. We need but look te the Revo
lutionary war to find Catholics in myriads fightiug to
the death for the independence of this couutry—u>
hud a Catholic King aiding this country in its strug
gles tor freedom, aiding by money and meq, by coup,
sols and influence in evry way to foil the inveterate
fo> sto liberty in every dime. Did that Catholic King
ever attempt to subvert this young republic ? Did th.
Catholic, no matter from what country prove traitor
on the sunburned plains of Mexico, when fighting for
th.s country. Are Catholics less anxious than other
persuas.ous about their adopted or native country’s in
terests? Have they less to lose or more to gain ?
No S.r, so far from Catholics being worse Republican,
than others, they have lo t as much money and blood
to establish it, indeed, in many cases more, and as ful
ly appreciate its blessings and would lose as much now
perhaps more than any other denomination. Show
a good Catholic who is sworn to the interests of this
Republic and I will shew you in him a man, who will
g.ve all he is worth to support it. This is England'*
workings at home for ages. ‘Catholics are ntt to bo
trusted, they do not respect their oaths, they are unfit
for liberty or self government.’ and this—oh 1 too
true it is—this is her policy abroad , while she wr.
t tus aspersing and persecuting her Irish Catholic sub
jects. Many of them, six out of ten were to the death
against Spanish, French and Catholics of other coun,
tries, doing justice to their oaths which bound them
to the service of their tyrranous rulers.

The Man and the Vines
In one of the early years after the creation
of the world, man began to plant a vine, and
.Man saw it and drew near. -‘What plant
ed thou, son of the earth ?” sa id the prince of
the demons. r
‘‘ -A ‘me !” replied the man.
ar ? thc properties ofthis tree T
Oh, its fruit is pleasant to look at and de
licious to the taste ; from it is produced a pre
ciou- liquid which fills the heart with joy.”
u “ ell* since wine makes glad the heart of
man, I will help thee to plant this tree.”
So saying, the demon brought a lamb and
slew it, ihon a lion, then an ape, and last of all
a pig, killing each in succession, and moisten
ing the roots of the vine with the blood.
Thence it has happened ever since, that
w hen a man drinks a small portion of wine, be
; becomes gentle and caressing as a lamb ; after
a little more, strong and bold as a lion ; when
he drinks still more, he resembles an ape in
his folly and absurd and mischievous actions j
hut when he has swallowed the liquid to ex
cess he is like a pig wallowing in the mire.
A wag, meeting a literatry friend, inquired what ef

‘So 1 should ; but as I am Ignorant, perhaps you
