There is no appeal for relief from, the great law which dooms. t the dust We flourish and tad i a the leaves of t he forest, and the flowers tiiut bloom and wither in a day have no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever tdiook the earth with his foot steps. Generations of men will appear as the grass, and the multitude that throng the world to day, will disappear as the footsteps on the shore. Men sel dom think of the :reat event of death until the shadows lall across their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile wa3 the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antagonist of life, and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton of the leas's.

The Hudson Iti-ij'uter deals l.u:nr ously with a question of graiuurtr as fol lows : "A searcher after truth wriies to us, 'which is grammatically cone -t, to say the house is building,' or 'the house is being built;' 'the street is paving,' or 'the street is being paved?' ' lhere is a wide diversity of opinion up n this sub ject; but we incline to favor 'is being built,' for the following reasons: Sup pose you wish to express another kind of an idea, would you say, for instance, 'Johnny is Bpanking,'or 'Johnny is be ing spankedl" The difference to you may seem immaterial, but it is a matter of considerable importance to Johnny; and it is probable that, il a choice were given him, he would suddenly' select the former alternative. You say a;:ain that the 'missionary h eating ' Certain ly this expresses a very different and much pleasunter idea than the lorm: 'The missionary is bei.ig eaten,' and the sensation is very different for the mis sionary,too. We have consulted sev eral missionaries about it, and they all seem to think that the two things are somehow not the same, no matter what the grammarians say. Bug it is to be confessed that there are occasions when the difference in the form is not so marked. We cay, that 'Hannah is hugging' which by the way, would be a very improper thing for Hannah to do; it would be positively scandalous, indeed. Precisely a similar idea is conveyed if you say, 'Hannah is being hugged,' because it is a peculiarity of the net that it is hirdly ever ontsided; there 's no selfishness about it. And it is the same with kiss mj;. 'Jane lu kissing' and her mother ought to know about it if she is is just exactly as if we say, 'June is being kiss ed;' and the sensation is the same, al though none of the grammars, by i singular inadvertence, mention the fact It will not be mc ar), however, lor pur correspondent to attempt to prove nrei hood. ressed, indulged, entertained, waited up on, and kept in ignorance of life and the world Their whims are gratified, their foibles laughed at, their silliness encour aged; they are taught to be proud of their weakness, and that it is lad -like to lean on others and be supported through life.

' 0 In every other country in the world wherj they are allowed to vote, the ten antry and laborers vote "with their laud lords and employers. John Qumcy Adams, Jr., old me, speaking nf ; this very question, that when lie was a re publican all ot his tenants and laborers, about forty in number, voted with him and when he quit the republican party and turned democrat, they also turned with him and voted the democratic tick et without a word being said to them on the subject. He expected them, to vote with him, and they knew it and did so. Now, I suppose it is just as proper for.a cotton planter to require this of.his col- ored Hoorers in oimin uarouna as u is for Mr. Adams to exact it -of bis white laborers in Massachusetts. And espe cially so when thesecolored laborers are voting forrogues and scoundrels in pref enee to hanestand intelligent men. Chief Justice Chase told me, in 186S we need not app-ehend any difficulty in controlling the negro vote- in South Car oliua 'Brains and property,' said he will always control labor A I replied carpet Daggers. ltj ' tsaid tae carpc- baggers would soon become identified with the citizens or leave the country But the carpet-bagger, in South Car olina, instead of leaving the country, or identifying himself with the people, has become, with the scalawag, through their influence over the negro, a sort f aristocrat or autocrat, and tribune of the colored race". Nmv, we must get -rid o these autocrats and 'ribuncs. ' We must d.;tnroiie them and break thtir sceptre by destroying their influence-over the negro This can only be done by tea-:h ing tne negro mac tie is uepenuent ", ' - . - . . on us, ana not we on-mm.. Ijot us therefore resolve unanimously, and stick o it, that we will n t rent our lands to. r employ any- one who will not agret- t vote with us in -all the elections. In this wayand in this way o ily, we can rout the carpet bagger and sealawig. nid get control of the colored people. Cuffee has no giatitude in general, as 1 have well tested, though there are ex ceptions, and he can only be influenced by his wants find necessities I there fore urge upon the white people, a i over the State, to determine unanimo si and at once, t nave nothing to do wiin the radicals, white or black, in Venting their lands or employing their laborers without they will agree, in writing, un der a penalty, to vote with them in ali future elections. In three mouths after the enforcement of this rule, there would be no radical party in Soutn Car olina, no carpet baggers, no scalawags, except in the penitentiary. And , once more we should be living under an hon est government in South Carolina - Until we adopt ' sonie kringent rule of this kind, and adhere to it, and go out at elections and vote lor honest and wise men, we shall be getting worse and worse every year, until the most horri ble and terrible revolution and civil war co ;rs the land with bloody ; desol; tion and ruin.
