from the Charleston Courier.
To HgYoitngfliird.
Taken from Us nest and presented to a Lady,
i
Alas ! poor feafliered songster of the grove.
Rude hands have torn thee from thy parent nest;
In vain thy little throat, wild chirping, strove
To call thy mother. She, with throbbing breast,
Sp and but to see thee by rude fingers pressed,
Ihy little form torn from the braucSee high,
Where the *olt breeze had rocked thee olt to rest,
r l hrough uestUugleaves, while zephyrs sang thy lullaby
. n.
Full manyfa summer to this self same spot,
Thy lather and thy mother had repaired ;
Here built their r est—their cares w**rc all forgot,
For yet no-spo ler’s ruthless band had dared
To desecrate their home—here they had reared
For many a year a sprightly warbling brood ;
The old tre* was to them a thing revered,
And from its top each morn iu grateful mood.
Their cardie joined to prabe the Giver ol all good,
ui.
But now thy father sits upon the bough
That skits the hazle corpse where thou wast horn ;
His note, once joyous, breathes but sadness now ;
Thy mother seeks thee through the tangled thorn.
Now skims the plain, now beats the waviug corn,
Nor rests her weary wing, uutH the star
Os day awakes the rosy tinted morn ;
Then with her mate she seeks some spot afar,
Wheie no destroying hand their happiness cau mar.
iv.
Rut thou, my fledgeling, shall forget the bower?,
The opening blossoms, mid the flowering spray,
The winter’s frost, and the sweet venial flowers,
Alike unknown to thee, shall pass away ;
And summer’s green shall turn to autumn's gray,
VVhil-t thou a eaptive, through thy prison grate,
PerchAnce may hear thy brother's pensive Jay,
Tuned as it were in sorrow tor the fate
Which tore thee from thy kind, and from a loving mate.
V.
Sweet son.q?tei ‘ though the meadow and ihe grove
Shall never echo to thy morning song ;
Though fate ordain it, thou shah never rove
The pastures green and vernal flowers among ;
Let not “thv harp upon the willow hung”
Refuse to charm ihy gentle hstnei's ear,
Rut let it, to its sweetest cadence strung,
ftach heavy hour, each lagging moment cheer,
And prove the dear dejii ht of each succeeding year.
VI.
Thou hast but briefly known a mother’s care,
r i hou hast not often seen a lather’s lace ;
Thou never shall disport in heaven’s flee air,
Nor mate thee with another of thy race ;
Rut yet, il lender pity, truth and grace.
In her who deign:- the parent’s part to fill,
Can glad the lonene-9 of triy prison place.
Then shall thy life flow like a gentle rill.
Thy warbliogs ever rise toward “Heaven’s eternal hill.’
Sullivan’s Island, April 21, 1857. G R. D.
—
The Hartiord Courant has a few thoughts on woman
What make.? a woman now-a-days?
Intelligence? good looks?
A mind where, all the virtues dwell?
No—dry goods huog ou hoops.
Ho! whales, that sail the briny deep,
Repine not at your fate;
Your flesh illuminates the world,
Your bones make women gteat.
All would be great—hut all dou’t like
A course of education;
School, studv, books—ah! what are these
Compared with inflatation?
Henry W. ll.lliaitl Defended ami Sustained.
The Opposition, South, have been accustomed to
desertion, livery great event in the political history
of the country, since IS3G, when J lin C. Calhoun left
them, by developing ihe insuflieienoy of their principles
and pn'rty organ!/., n, has driven out of their ranks
many of their leading spirits, who have invariably at
tached themselves to trie Democracy, as pre-eminently
the party of the Constitution. But ‘the desertion of
none of their leaders has caused so much ill feeling,
nor given rise to so much I<>w and vulgar vituperation,
as that or nnr \ W. Hilliard. We shall not attempt
to enquire into the ergin oi mm extreme omcrnwt
wards an abie, as well as amiable, party leader, among
his old political frh mis. Perhaps theij bitterness bears
some proportion to their loss. Mr. Hilliard was the
only member of the Opposition, S<>uth, who bad any
hold open the hearts of the people, or any claims to
statesmanship. With him. they fe I that all is lost.
But our object now, is not to deal in eulogy, but to
do justice to a poliiieal friend, by republishing the fol
lowing able and temperate article, which we find in the
Huntsville [Ala ] Advocate.
Mr. Hilliard’9 Letter—lt is Time for Southern Men to
Pause aud Ponder.
No document has appeared, lately, which fans caused
more consternation, < r given rise to more conmnut, than
ihe letter in another rolumu, by Henry W. Hilliard, “de
fining his position.” By his late associates i is received
with a storm of'abuse, calumny and aspersion of motives
By his late adversaries.'as a tribute paid by an honest
and pur© patriot and statesman to the integrity and na
tionality of the Democratic parly, aud it* fidelity to the
Constitution and the Un on, th reby constituting it the
only hope and confidence of the country ag inst the mad
t inaticHin which peivadts so large a portK u of the pub
lie mind.
Mr. /Milliard,from the elevated position he occupied, has
ei joyed a clear and unobstructed view of the political iiu
rizuu. Intimately conversant with the course of events,
the public men f the nation, and the pulse ol the body
politic, he knowß the slate of the country and the posi
tion of parJca. lie sees ‘.hat the issues which divided
the Democrats and he Whigs have become obsolete, and
that they have measurably assimilated into cue-new of
sentiment upon th* in. He sees that in the free States
these old things have passed away, aud it is opposition
to the Son-h in ev< ry asptet, and tidcli>y to the Constitu
tion, and justice to ail sections, which there divide the
‘•multitudinous ‘No* Jj.” lie sees, too, that the only
party true to the South, the Constitution, and to the Un
ion, iu the free States s the National Democratic Party
—that its action is one , its principles one, its policy one,
and that, practically and theoretically, it accords justice
aud equality to the South, as wt-lj as to other sections of
the Union. Mr. H iliard sees aud knows this to be so.
He knows that the South now has all the rights aud prin
ciples she ever contend* <1 for, recognized by the Govern
ment, upheld and sustained by the arm of the General
Government, enforced, as the law of the land, by the
supreme Judiciary ; and thru, for this, she is indebted to
the National Democracy. That her principle* and her
rights are now such as are promoigaied and declared by
the President as the Head of the Nation : therefore, he,
as a Southern man, as a devotee of the Const it at iob, as
a lover of the Union, canuot oppose the Administration
and Party so true to all that he has ever h* Id dear. He
will not let opposition to the name of Democrat, deter
him Ircrn walking in .he path of duty, lie cannot, even
to go to Congress again, war * gainst the Party and Pns.
idem defending his rights and his interests, lie cannot
uuite with th“ unprincipled Black Republicans iu waging
a “war to the bitter end” lor mere partisan triumphs up
on the Administration. He cannot destroy it that t) ey
may feed lat their hatred oi the South after i. prostra
tion. lie c moot “* at his own blo. and” to become the ally
of Blrek Republicans in their war upon the Deinocistic
party for its fealty to the Constitution. He will not stain
his hands wiih parricidal blood in fighting the Democra
cy, that they may, ou its downfall, seize the power of the
Government, and wield it to the destruction of the South.
No —he will not. But, like a gallant Southron as he is,
he no longer qaarre.s about non-essentials, but joiushis
toes, tried and found true, on many a battlefield, and
goes heart and hand with them, for the essentials —the
peace, honor, prosperity, equality, safety and perpetuity of
the whole land.
If there is any oil line Whig, who yet cherishes bitter
enmity to the Demoera ic party, we ask him to listeu to
the voice of his trasUd old Leader. If he was wise be
fore, his counsels are wiser now. If he was one to be
proud of befoie, he is far more worthy of pride now, for
he has conquered prejudice and opposition ol years. Il
he was pure before, he is purer now, for added years
have brought no stain upon his bright character. Then
heed his teachings—follow his white plume as of yore
listen to his clarion voice, ringing out the alarm and fell
ing the way that leads to safety. Old Whigs, be not like
Hector, sullen iu his itnt, while his friend was slaughter*
ed by the Trojans : Do not let them be slain while you
stand idly by, but like Hilliard, join your friends (the
Democrats) iu fighting your enemies, (the Black Re
publicans !) That’.- the path of duty for you to trend.
We would ask all Southern men, even intense Know,
Nothings, what they expect to gain by waging are.
morseless war upon ihe Administration ? Do they wish
to change its policy on the Slavery Question in regard to
Kansas ? Is its Foreign Policy wrong ? Does it appoint
Black Republicans to office ? Are the doctrines of the
Inaugural objectionable or dangerous to the South ? Is
it for its course upon any or all of these matters that they
;eep up an organinzition o the Administration 1
If not, then, is it for the rmre spirit of opposition alone
hat it is done ? If so, then, what is the Jesuit? Who,
n the North, are banded toge'htr to put down the Ad
ninwtration ? Is it not the Black Republicans ? Wh\
ie they against it ? Is it not because of its fidelity to tb
“cuth and the Constitution ?• Then, as Southern men.

Tho Democratic Convention—The 24th of June.
We publish elsewltere tho proceedings ol a Democratic
meeting in Fulton County, which was called to ascertain
the sentiments ol tire Democracy ol that county upon the 1
several propositions to fix tie time of holding a State Con
vent ion. It wdi ho seen that the meeting was, hy a large
rn.aj rity, in favor ol the 10th ot June, but for tho sake ol
hannony, and -n a most magnanimous spirit, the majority
tendered the minority a compromise upon tho 24 h of June.
This proposition was unanimously accepted.
Vv hen the compromise proposition who first made by
our friends oi the Times Sentinel, we were willing to
accept it n. a settlement of the vexed question, provided
the friends of tho Bth of Ju*y w uld harmonise upon it.
But objections to tt were at once raised by our friend of
the Telegraph, and we, therefore, adhered to our original
preference. We see that the Atlanta Exominer heretofore
one of the wannest supporters ot the Bth of July, has adopt
ed the compromise prop rsirion, and call? on its friends to
accept that as a settlement of the question, we, therefore,
take the earliest opportunity that presents, to express our
satisfaction with tho com promise proposition, and do urge
upon all those who have agreed with us in the past, to
come out at once, and in the same commendable spirit of
our Fulton County friends, give their support to the Com
promise proposition, as a final settlement of the vexed
question. We hope there will he no objection raised by
our friends to the 24th of June ; there is but a lew days
difference between their first choice and the24th.— Federal

The New York Evening Post upon “Amalgamation ”
The Post , in its issue of the 9th instant, insults tho intel
ligcnce of its tea lets with the following language:
“The people of this country .\ery well know that tiurr
s ten times as much amalgamation.under slavery as in the
Tee States.”
The Post must be grossly ignerant of all knowledge oi
.he subject upon which it comments.
The result of “amalgamation’’ is muialtoes, and we give
from the United States Census of 1850, the loilow’ing fig
ures. Take slave and free States alternately: In Alaba
na there are 7 mulatloes to 10:> blacks; in Connecticut
JO to 100 blacks; in Arkansas 16; in Illinois 85 ; in Geor
ilia 6; in Indiana 89; in Kentucky 17; in Maine 51 ; in
Ylaryland 14; in Massachusetts 34; in Louisiana 14; in
Michigan 76; iu MWi&ippi 7 ; in New Hampshire 51 • in
North Carolina 12, id Ohio 129; in South Carolina 4; in
Pennsylvania 40; in Tennessee 10; in Wisconsin 87; in
New York 19; m Virgiuia 17, 6lc &c: &,c. The slave
and free States throughout the Union show the proportion
named of mulattoes to every 100 blacks, and in all lh
dave Stated, excepting the District of Columbia, the pro
p artion ot inulattoas to blacks is 50 per cent, less than in
Massachusetts, and be it remembered, the mulatto is the
result of amalgamation.
Jhe questiou may come up as to where this “amalga
mation” offspring had birth, and unl-ss we take the trouble
to make that point clear at once, the Evening Post may
assert that these mulattoes were born Souih and ran away.
The work from which we obtain this reliable data, gives
only the nativities of the blacks and mulattoes in the North •
except the Stute of Connecticut and the city of New York,
no other free soil territory is named ; but the proportion
of mulattoes born in these two, one a State and the other
city, may do to base certain premises upon. The State of
Connecticut had a total black and mulatto population, in
1850, ot 7359, of which 5651 were blacks and 1708 mulat
and out of this number of the latter, no less than
1406 were horn in that State, 267 in the other free States,
and 35 in the slave States. Tire city of 4Sew York, in the
same year, had a like mixed population of 12,310, of which
9588 were blacks, and 2732 were mulattoes. Ol the latter,
1887 were born in the city, 515 in the free Sates and 300
in the slave States.
With these facts on record, and with the probability,
amounting to almost a certainty, that statistics, if possible
to be reached, all over the North, would show a like result,
will the Post have the hardihood to reiterate iinbhshingly
this gross libel upon the South ? The people ol this coun
try do not know that amalgamation exists to anything
like the extent in the South that it does in the North, though
they believe so because they want to, and because the
Post and Tribune tell them so every day ol their lives
These sort of slanders and libel 9 on our fellow citizens of
the South can be productive of nothing but evil, and will,
if continued, end in the breaking up of our government <—

Young Statesmen of the South.
In contemplating the condition of the South, and eal
culating the chances of its escape from the difficulties
which beset it, one finds some assurance of safety in the
z*al, courage, aud fidelity of the voung statesmen who
are about to control ita des iny. The day of apologies
lor slavery, and compromises with abolitionism, is past,
never to return ; and with it, those timid time serving
politicians, who have masked so much of selfishness un
der so much of piudence, are gone, never to reappear
upon the stage of action. Anew school of statesmen,
professing a truer philosophy, and animated by a far no
bler spirit, have won the confidence and admiration of.
the people, and will henceforth be recogu zed as the lead*
ers of the S >ulh. There are such in Virginia ; but it
would be invidious to indicate th-iii by name. With
greater propriety, may we distinguish those of other
States, who promise most for the future of the South.
Foremost among the rising men of the South, stand
Keitt of South Carolina, Clay, of Alabama, aid Perkins,
ol Louisiana. They are all of the type of character,
which the South needs at this crisis. Fearless and ad
venturous, fertile in resources, intensely earnest in their
convictions, learned, !< gical, eloquent—they are surely
reserved to play a prornintm part iu the future history
of the South.
Under a mild and modest exterior, Perkins conceals a
dauntless heart and the imst aspiring genius. As Judge
in his owm Stale, and member of Congrets, from which
lie voluntarily retired, he has given abundant proof of
his uncommon qualities.
youngest member. “ attached 1 To* the -
school of Democracy, he was distinguished for courage
and eloquence, before the path of promotion was open to
his ambitious sDp. Then at one bound lie attained a po
sition which men ordinarily nin by long years of intrigue
and party service. In the Senate he has delivered two
speeches of remai kable ability—one a withering and over
whelming denunciation of the miscreant Hale, the other
an argument of great research and power, in dekDce of
slavery and the S uth
The name of Col. Keitt is more familiar in this State,
because of a speech which he dtlivertd, during the last
session of Congress, which has been universally r< ad and
applauded throughout the S. uth. It is but a jut com
pliment to say, that of all the 8 1 eecht-8 iu vindication of
slavery, which have ever been heard in Congress, this
is the most distinguished by vigor and originality of
thought, affluence of illustration, and fervor of eloquence.
Col Keitt is hardly yet in the prime of life ; aud with
such habits of s udy and such resources of iott licet : s he
possesses, he cannot fail to iun a glorious caret r.
The S outli appreciates and wdl cherish these gallant
champions of its rights and honor.
Excitement at the University of Virginia.
U A student” writes the following to the Richmond
Dispatch, i)tid'sr date of the J9th inst :
Our quiet University, and the community about it,
have beeu thrown into £ real excittrmiu by the reckless
use of tire am s. It appears that two students, whose
names I need not mention, called at ManooL’s, in Ghar
lottsville, at a late honr last night, to get a ‘'uight c: p,”
(a drink of liquor,) and finding that be had closed his
store for the night, commented knocking, which, 1 sup
pose, disturbed bis slumbers ; whereupon, Manoni rush
ed to the window and fired upon them, the load taking
effect in Their faces. The Doe or lias examined the
wounds, and extracted therefrom some half dozen shot,
lie thinks the wound in the ear may prove fatal.
This morning the students collected in large numbers
around Manoni’s store, and after some delibera'ion, for.
’ eed the door open and made a general search, but did not
succeed in finding the object of their search. Knowing
that Manoni had a brother living in Charlottsville, they
were about to pr< ceed thither, whrn someone coming
across a negro, living near them, bribed him to inform on
the Manoni family, which he did. lie informed them
that he was concealed in Ilenahaw’s house, just in the
rear of Manoni’s house.
This rnan (Manoni) has been a pirate, and fought in
the Crimea in the late Rusoian war. lie was found in
the ab ve m- ntioned house, and after a severe strugg e
they succeeded in lying him. There was a great tumut
just then—some w ere lor lynching, others for tarring and
feathering him, &e., hut the majority wer* in favor of
castigating him. But here we met with a more serious
obstacle. He was taken off some distance from college,
notwithstanding the mud and rain, and tied to a tree,
(on an opposite hill another party had Manoni’s brother
tied in a like manuer.) It was here that Mr Mmipm
appeared, and made a very effectual appeal to the 6tudeDis,
advising them to let the law have its course \ he insisted
strenuously that Lynch Jaw should not bo enforced in
Virginia, and especially at the University. After much
deliberation and discussion, it was agreed to let the ‘ law
have ts course,” and that Manoni and brother—which
latter seems to have been somehow’ implicated— be car
ried to jail.
The Mayor and police met them at the edge of t wn,
expecting that they would deliver the prisoner into tl.eir
hands, but found themselves laboring under a mistake,
for the students insisted upon taking care of the gentle
men themselves, and did not release their hold until with
in the prison walls, .hey also imprisoned two of his
brothers. His trial will come off 10-ruorrow at three
o’clock.
One of the Manoni’s got a rd? on a rail between the
University and town.

Well Retorted. —VVe gather from the Boston Tran
script that Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler happening to meet
a well known gentleman of that city, (Mr. YV.,) in the
Messrs. Chickering’s piano forte warehouse, the other day,
expressed some surprise on seeing this gentleman enter into
familiar and cordial conversation with Col. C. one of the
partners of the house. She is said to have wondered that
a person engaged in mechanical pursuits should be treated
by Mr. W., as an equal and a gentleman. “He is a Col

but gentlemen are Colonels.” “In our country, on the con

Bobtail Poliiicians. —The Louisville Juuxml recollects
hearing from the late Chief Justice Marshall, that Gov.
Giles, of Virgiuia, once addressed a note of this tenor to
Patrick Henry :
“Sir : I understand that you have called me a “bobtail”
politician. I wish to know if it be true, aud if true, your
meaning
w “WM. B. GILES.”
Fo which Mr. Henry replied in thisw-ise:
“Sir : I do not recollect having called you a bobtail po
litician at any time, but think it probable I have. Not re
collecting the time or the occasion, I can’t say what I did
mean ; but if you will tell me what you think 1 meant, I
will say whether you are correct or not.
Very lespectfully,
PATRICK HENRY.”
Singing.— A New York paper says: “A few Sundays
ago, at one of our fashionable churches, the choir sung a
hymn to an pera tune which goes as follows: ‘My poor
pi*l my poor pol— my poor polluted heart.’ Another
line received the following rendering: ‘And iu the pi—and
in the pi—and in the pious he delights.’ And still another
was sung; ‘And take thy ptl—and lake thy pd—and take
thy pilgrimhoine.’”— Lx.
‘Phisreminds a friend -of a certain good old fugue
tune which once, with a particular,but unfortunate, adap
tation was made to intertwine “Oh, for a man—oh, ‘or a
man —oh, for. a mansiou in the skies” from the soprano,
w ith a response from the other parts of “Come down sal—
come down sal—come down salvation from above.”
Throwing Cold Water upon Sentiment —“ Port Gib
son is a beautiful little town on the Mississippi river,” writes
a western correspondent of a paper, “where I attended a
wedding a few days since. Wishing to sa y something be
coming the occasion, I approached the fair young bride in
the couise of the evening, and alter congratulating her on
her departure from tlie stat* of single blesseduess, I wished
her a pleasant voyage dow'n the river bf life. She said
“.-he hoped so, but she heard there was a great deal of fe
ver on the river now—she hoped they wouid’at ketch it
on the way down.”
A Good One. — Dr. J/.igcon, recently in a lecture on
‘‘M nd \r ur Busibess,” told the following good one ;
A yiuug null wmt from New York city to the West,
where he commenced husiniss on his owu account, and
married. Ilis friends in ihe city were interested in his
welfare, and when a merchant was about to journey to
the pi ee where the y ung man had located, he was re
quested to visit ihe emigrani, and ascertain how he lived
wlr.t sort oi a wife he had choe*n, his prrep<ote, dee.
Accordingly, the Nejy Yt.rk.r ascertained the residence
of his you g friend, aud called upou him, quite early in
ilie m rniug. lie found him in a small, neat cottage,
and just taking bis breakfast, lire introdnetion of the
New Yorker to his wife waa quite iff hand and uncere
monious, and he was requested id be sealed, and partake
of the morning meal. The young wife hap prepared the
steak, bisooit aud coffee, with her own hands, and for a
table had used her kneading board, over which a napkin
was sp'ead, and ihe “hoard” placed 0 n her lap. The
New Yorker declined a seat at tabie, and took bis leave
Ou making his report to his New York friends as to
how lie found Ins young friend living, he described the
style as “maginiheent!”—and for explanation of the su.
perlntive he said, that were he the owner of that young
mans furniture, he would not take ten thousand dollars
for the legs of bis table.
