Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph

Wonder if They Do.

The Dispatch, published at Sumter South Carolina, in a glowing article on "disunion," says:

"While we write this article, the colonial flag, with its crescent and lone star, is floating gaily at our office door; and the sentiments and resolves which that flag indicates lie deep within our bosom and pant for utterance and action. Oh, shades of McDuffie, and Hamilton, and Hayne, and Calhoun! Oh, shades of the mighty! this is the day ye long desired to see--the day of deliverance and of jubilee!"

Now we think if the "shades" of the mighty ones named by the Dispatch did really long to see the state of things now witnessed in South Carolina, they are very "green" shades. But when did these "shades" inform the editor of their desire? Who was the medium of communication between these "shades" and the editor? Where are these mighty "shades," and what is their present employment? Are they celebrating the jubilee? Are they certainly in a state of mind, and in a place where the treason of the nullifiers would be likely to be celebrated? We read in Milton, of certain "Mighty ones" who preferred to "rule in Hell, rather than to serve in Heaven," and he gives an account of a celebration got up on the occasion of the introduction of sin, and confusion into the peaceful realms of Eden. The leaders of secession are plying all their ingenuity to bring our happy country to a state of anarchy and civil war. And this editor says that the "shades" of the original contrivers of this Devil's work have long desired to see the accomplishment of their purpose, and now hold jubilee over its success! Well, we don't know but a celebration by these "shades" would be quite appropriate at this time!
