Mr'. Howards Address.
It would Tequire a pen such as he on
ly can wield to do justice to the finished
address With which Mr. Howard en-
chsined the attention, of his large and
respectable audionoo on Thursday eve-
ning.
Abounding In historical incidents of
the early, settlement of Georgia, rich
~in profitable and interesting informa
tion, replete with beautiful imagery and
clothed in the most chaste and classic
language, it was delivered With a grace
and elegance of oratory that sent the
polished shaft with unerring swiftness
to the heart of every hearer. It was a
rare intellectual banquet. There the ig
norant mind could feast on knowledge;
the thirsty soul drink in the pure wa-
tersof delight and therefined and fas
tidious taste be furnished every dolioa-
cy its appetite demanded. His com
mendation of the Christian benevo
lence and self sacrificing philanthropy of
the settlers of Georgia, his defense of
them against the imputation of having
been a “penal colony," and his eloquent
tribute to the neglected memory ot the
great Oglethorpe wore worthy the occa
sion, the subject, and the orator.—
In the comparison made between
New England and Georgia, begin
ning with the former at the land
ing of the Pilgrim’s at Plymouth,
and with the latter at the settlement of
our State by its founders, and taking
the histories of them both as data for
his calculations upon their future rela
tive prosperity and greatness the
breast of every Georgian present swell
ed with laudable pride, at the noble po
sition assigned to their beloved State.—
He said if all the merchant vessels of
the New England States were swallow
ed up in the great deep, and all the ma
chinery in their vast manufactories wore
to stand still, the world would regard it
as we do a groat calamity, a terrible con
Bagration, a city sinking into the bosom
of the quaking earth or inundated with
volcanic fires. i£fl . ,
They would for a moment be startled
and then roturn with unconcern to their
accustomed avocations. But should the
cotton crop of the South fail for two
consecutive years, famine and destitu
tion would sweep over the Northern
States, Europe would be convulsed,
and the starving thousands of English
* operatives would rise in masses and
* their clamors for bread would cause the
trirono of Great Britain to totter to its
fall. He appealed in the most persua
sive eloquence to the young men of the
Christian Association to go forward in
their great work. To illustrate the good
to bo accomplished he describes the
course of a young man from tho time
ho first enters a city a stranger and
friendless, when the tempter sots l>is
his net, in which he finally and hope
lessly becomes entariglcd, until tho lost
scene upon the bed of remorse and
death when ho laments “ I was a
stranger and ye took me not in.”
Ho then paints in vivid colors, tho
poisonous serpent, with “graceful coil
and mottled skin,” lurking beneath the
swaying boughn from which tho light
hearted songster, unconscious of harm,
fills the forest with its delightful melo
dy. Suddenly a bright gleam from tho
grass below, flashes oerbss its vision-
alarmed and fascinated, its wings refuse
to perform their office, and it soon falls
to Che earth, a prey to its venomous
Charmer. So with vice und its
victim. “The rattle of tho dice
box, is the warning note of tho
doadly rattlesnake." Tho broezo rust
ling the leaves, the snapping of a twig,
anyth!ag to disturb the fatal silenco
wouldhave broken the spell of the ser
pent, and released its unfortunate capt
tive to fly to its distant safety. So
word spoken in season, an appealing
look, on act of kindness will often
awaken a young man to the danger
which in the garb of pleasure woos him to
destruction. But we have said more than
we had intend intended. The pleasure
wo derived from recalling tho beau
ties of Mr. Howard's address, has led us
unconsciously too far.
Were we called on to give in a sen
tenco, n discretion of this address, wo
would use some writer’s definition of
eloquence—“tho truth fitly spoken. —
Mr. Howard intends delivering it before
the several associations in the State.
We congratulate our friends of Macon,
Columbus and Savannah on the rich
treat that is in store for them.
N«t week, at the invitation of ,thb
two literary Societies of Franklin
College, Mr. Howard will visit Athens
for the tamepubpose. Being somewhat
acquainted? With'the cultivated literary
tM&of WflUbfclii of that place, we
are oonfidwMblte wUl 1 have an’audience
who will fully WMweobte' his noble and
disinterested!
jjgy-Tho following from the Charles
ton Mercury are views we have long en
tertained.
According to our view, the true antag
onism between tho United .States and
Great Britain exists between the North
and that country. Tho manufacturing
and commercial interests of the North
enter into competition witli British in
terests of the same kind, and under the
system of Protective furilfe ftnd *Slnp-
ping Bounties the rivalry redounds to
the benefit of the North and the disad-
vantage of Great Britain* The bouth ii
the customer, for whose custom and
business both compete. Doubtless
there are many blind und ruthless fan
atics enlisted in the cause of abolition
in Great Britain as there are ot the
North.. Doubtless there ore cold-blood
ed calculators amongst the statesmen
of thatcountry, who, having wretchedly
failed in their estimate of Afrioan char
acter and their effort to multiply the
tropical productions of her West Indian
Colonics by the supposed stimulus of
freeing tho slaves, now desire to bring
the rival States of tho South to the
same level of unproductiveness, accom
panied by a decrease of relative power
and independence. With these classes,
of course, abolition and the ruin of the
South are the ends sought. But^ tho
real, controlling statesman of Great
Britain have more practical and larger
views than these. They use this ques
tion with a view to practical interests
chiefly. They edge on Nortljcrn people
to their owu ruin and the uenefit of
Britain. It is done with a solfish pur
pose and to accomplish an end—a sepa
ration of the manufacturing and com
mercial North from the agricultural
South. Tho interests of the South and
and Great Britain are mutual and coin
cident. She wants our cotton, rice, to
bacco, Ac., for her own use, and she
wants to soil us in exchange the manu
factured goods we want, and to have
the carrying trade for her shipping.—
As matters stand now, through the
Navigation and Tariff Laws, the proper
relation of natural and profitable cus
tomers is interrupted. British goods
and British shipping are to a great ex
tent prohibited by the taxes required.—
The South is compelled to consume
Northern commodities and to use
Northorn shipping at higher prices than
she could with free trade. The South
The Slaveholder Abroad, or Billy j
pays a tribute to tho North. England^
is deprived, to a considerable extent, of
her best customer. She has, therefore,
striven to bring about a state of aliena
tion between tho sections of the United
States, ller statesmen have seized the
very convenient slavery question, and
used it, to separate tho Nortli and tho
South, and supplant the North in busi
ness with us, either by a preference ac
corded to her, or in open competition in
such an evant. Her policy progresses
to success, and must damage or destroy
the commercial and manufacturing
prosperity of tho North, now reached
through tho unequal bond of the Un
ion, and at tho expense of the South.—
It must result greatly to tho advantage
of British interests. These views con
stitute tho real spur to the intermed
dling of Englishmen, and this, as wo un
derstand it, is tho gumo of their saga
cious and practical statesmen. It is in
duced principally by the cramped and
unjust policy of Protective Tariffs and
Navigation Laws; which aro as detri
mental to the South as they are to
Great Britain. If these were done away
■with, wo would hear little of abolition
ism from Hie politicians of that coun
ty- _
Buck on his Travel*
This is tho title of a now work by a
Georgian, and published by J. B. Lip-
pincott A Co., of Philadelphia. It is a
series of letters to Mqj. Jones, of Pine-
villo from a relation, on a tour through
England, with his negro servant, Buck.
The Sonthcrn public will look for it
with impatience. The Savannah Morn
ing Xeu>s, says of it:
“The book will be found interesting,
entertaining and instructive, and can
not fail, at this time—when the slavery
question is so fearfully agitating the pub
lic mind, and when such unscrupulous
and traitorous efforts are being made to
array tho prejudice of the masses in the
free’States against tho institution—to
make a profound impression on tho
minds of all candid and fair thinkers.
Wo give below “Buck's Possum
story,” as related by him to an English
Baronet and his triends, after a “Fox
hunt,” at which Duck had distinguish
ed himself by his fearless riding and |
niastcHy management of his “animal:”
“ Well genT’msw,” he said, “when I
was bout a man grown, I staid in the
same cabin with one o’ Marster’s ole
niggers, named Uncle Cudjer.” (Old
Cudjo, whom you no doubt remember,
Major.) “Well, one night Uncle Cud
jer he was gwine a possum-huntin, an
axed mo to go long with him; but I hail
some other fish to fry that night, an so
I wouldn’t go with him. But Uncle
Cudjer he went an kotch apossom rigbt
soon, for he allers could do it.. Some
how anutlicr, when be an ole King went
out to hunt forum, tho possums stood
no more chance thail a ole red fox with
you arter him, Marster.” (Bowing to
the baronet.) “An»o be brought his
possum hpme, cleaned it, put liis pep
per and salt on it, put it in his little
oven, made fire onder it, and then, boin
tie was sorter tired by this time, lie went
fist tojsleep. Well, late at night I come
home; and when I went in, thar was the
old man, sound asleep. I raised up the
led of the little oven, an piff— putt’—out
thar como sich a nice, rich, roast-pig
sort o’ smell, hit made my mouth farly
water agin. The possum was dun ele
gant; anthen close by the ole man’s plat
ter was a nice corn dodger, waitin for
the possum. Hit was lata sense supper,
I had had a long walk in the cool night
ar, an was hungry, and tho sight was
was too much for my vartue, Marster.—
I tuk the old man’s possum, sir, I did,
(hit warnt very big sir,) an eat hit all up.
Then I tuk some o' the grease, and sor
ter saftly rubbed it all over his mouth,
sir, and over his hands, sir, and then 1
washed my own, an laid down an went
to sleep myself. Bombye, Uncle Cud
jer he waked up, he did, and looked for
his possum, an sure .enough hit warn’t
thar. Then he shuck me, he did, tell
he waked mo up. “ Pori Buck,” says
he, ,you gran rascal, you been tiefy my
possum—heh ? Git up; I gwine to lick
you, you infernal tief, you!”
“Why wbat’s matter, Undo Cudjer?”
says I.
“You tiefy my possum, I sav—-vmt
been uut my possum, saiv
“Why Uncle Cudjer, what’s matter ?
Is you cruzy ?” says I. “You been eat
your possum, yoi/self. Jest look at your
hands and your mouth,” says I..

then he drawed the biu-k of one on um

Jcpue Clitheiiall os Printers’ Tlcii-
Nitui.rhss.—A friend who was prosent
at tho Franklin Celebration in this city,
the 17til inst., has kindly furnished us
with the following;
At the supper of tho Typographical
Union, Mr. Clitherall, of Pickens, being
loudly called far, commenced his re
marks as follows. Tho nu mbers of the
press will readily understand tho techni
cal allusions, which were happily re
ceived by the audience:
I cannot, Mr. President, resist the
press of the call just made, or the call of
tho press ,- but having been all day, and
up to ten o'clock to-night., engaged in
legislative duties. I feel that iny ideas
are so knocked into pi, that I fear I can
not make afair impression; in fact, I li-ive
left my mentnl composing stick at home ;
and even if I had it with me, and ideas
were ans, 1 would not be able to set up a
square of ten lines. Yet, Mr. President,
1 feel an in'.-ling, that when the foremen
around me. shall have juitifiai my crude
thoughts, they will take tho shooting-
stick of good fellowship, and the quoins
of charity, and lock up the form in their
hearts.
A Good Appointment.—Mr. J. S. La-
tlirop, of this city, says the Augusta
Sentinel, lias been appointed Steward of
the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Cave
Spring, by the Board of Trustees of that
institution, and Mrs. Lathrop assumes
the post of Matron of tho same. This
is a good selection. Mr. L. is a courte
ous and intelligent Christian gentleman,
of strict integrity and excellent busi
ness habits, and he will do honor to the
office. We are rejoiced at his good for
tune, while'we must nlso express our
regret at losing from our midst so. esti
mable a citizen. Success attend him.

Color»,of Flowers Promoted by Char
coal.
A French amateur, in the Paris Hor
ticultural Review states:
“About a year ago, I made a bargain
for a rosebush of magnificent growth,
and full of buds. 1 waited for them to
bloom, and I expected roses worthy of
such a noble plant, nnd of thopraisu be
stowed upon it by tho vendor. At
length when it bloomed, all my hopes
were blasted. The flowers were of u
faded color, and I discovered that Iliad
only a middling multitlora stale colored
enough. I, therefore, resolved to sac
rifice it to some experiments which I
had in view. My attention hud been
captivated with the effects of charcoal,
as stated in some English publications.
I then covered the earth (in the pot in
which my rosebusli was) about half nn
inch deep witli pulverized clmroonl.—
Some days after, I was astonished to
see the roses which bloomed, of ns fine
alivcly rose color its I could wish. I de
termined to repeat the experiment, and
therefore, when tho rose bush had done
flowering, I took off tho charcoal and
put fresh earth on tho pot. You may
conceive that I waited for tho next spring
impatiently to sec the rasult of this ex
periment. When it bloomed, the roses
were as at first pale and discolored; but
by applying charcoal us lieforo, they
soon resumed their rosy red color. 1
tried the powdered charcoal likewise in
large quantities upon petunias, and
found that both tlio white and violet
flowers were equally sensible to its ac
tion. It always gave great vigoi to tho
red or violet colors of tho flowers, and
the white petunias bccumo veined with
red or violet tints. Tho violets (color
ed) became covered with irregular blu
ish or almost block tint. Many persons
who admired them thought tliut they
were new varieties from seed. Yellow
flowers, aro as I havo proved insensible
to tho influence of charcoal.—Cottage

MERCHANTS
th* undersigned, importers and Job
bers in the city of Charleston in view
of thn pres.-nt excited state of the country
deem it prop r to bring to the notice of tbc
interior Merchants the claims wc havo to
their patronage and custom. Tho majority
of us tiare been long established in business,
and from our experience are well ncquain-
te I with th-« wants of this section of country
Allot us bold sentiments in common on the
agitating qu-stlon of the day—slavery : and
i.Il of us desire, as far as practicable, to bc-
coramereially independent of the North.—
have no desire to underrate the energy and
enterprise of the Merchants of Northern
citii-.J.ut we claim to be able to supply goo ls
in out- respective lin-s, ou ns favoriibls t.rms
both in to price nnd credit. a« tlio mcrcliaiiLs
on, clt.i In the Union. We have facilities
lor obtaining goods from Europe, not sur
passed by any. an l our importations from
abroad ure very large, notwithstanding the
reports to th > contrary, circulated by those
who have no knowledge of what they affirm
whose interests prompt them to inislead.
American goods wo obtain from the manu
factures on ns favorable terms'as any Job
bing Merchants of the Northern cities. Why
then should wo *ot he aide to sdl on as fa
vorable t.-rms as others ?
We are able and dot rmined to do so. and
all we ask of you is. to try this market, lay
aside the prejudice—for it is only prejudice
—that your custom rs prefer "goods from
Now York for those from Charleston, nnd
build up and encourage your own Seaports
an 1 your own Merchants. If we cannot do
w-liat weprofesi, you will he subjected to «
very little inconve.ii. nee. fur opportunities
of leaving by railway or st.amer ure Vllcrcd

Our Stocks will he comp) , te by 1st Febru
ary next, and it r.-mains to bu seen how
many of those nbn have heretofore pur
chased all their goods fn. northern cities will
give Charleston a trial this spring.

CAUTION.
Persons living A a distance should be ex
tremely cautious of whom thoy order Lottery
Tickotsnr Certificates of Packages of Tickets.
Tho country is Hooded with bogus and swind
ling Lotteries. Every inducemoul is held out
to get p-.rsous to invest money in them.—
Capital Prizes of from $20,000 to $10,000
head their schemes- with Tickets at One
Dollar. $100,U00 Capltdl Prizes are offtrod,
Tickets $6. All such in every instance, are
frauds; uud if money is sent to them for
Tickets, it is so much thrown away, without
the shnduw of a chance of getting ’ prizo.—
Bawaro of all Lotteries where tho Capital
Prize is unusually large in comparison to
the prieo of Tickets. In - every lnstanco
where large Prizes are offered for a small
cost of Tickets, put it down for a certain
fraud.
