THE SOUTH CAROLINA COL-LEGE.

Let good remain as it is-for he haz-ardeth sore that waxeth wise by experi-ence.-ROGER AscNAM'S " ToxoPHILUs.'The liberality allowed by a latter day

grants each one the right to express him-self freely under particular conditions.-Discussion will often produce good, byeliminating and thereby exposing evil, yetthere is no voluntary act requiring more

room for deliberation and extreme cau-

tion, than an exposure in tbe public Journals of supposed imperfections in publicInstitutions of a particular class. A

healthy restriction is given to the inroadof looseness in irresponsible power bytimely notice-but we must be assured ofthe truth of every point of our accusation.where so much harm is likely to ensue

from conveying a false impression to the

public mind, depending as they do forsupport on its favorable opinion. It isob.vious that its officers cannot with poprie-ty reply in defence of themselves-an ed-ucational establishment of a high gradefrom a salutary deficiency in the attendance on its public examinations, cannotahew dernjiatquamfcanons. or it aaIMte ortpurposes intended-these must ultimatelybe determpined by its fruits. To none

then can unnecessary or false blame beattached with more irreparable injury ;and the nicest discrimination is therefore

requisite in condemning either its mea-

sures or its men. Now that the SouthCarolina College has not retrograted. butis superior, both as respects the course of

instruction. its Professors, and its numbers,to what we find at its earliest date and for

many years succeeding, is not only de-termined by fact, but is otherwise the re-

sult of thirty years advonce in the nineteenth century,-attended. with all thebenefits acquired by experience and the

accumulated facilities derived from wise,generous and continued support. Its

fruits await but time to develope them.We are apt, in quest of something, to

cavil at the present and venerate the past,and from this very principle draw coin

parisons between the scholarhip of a few

of its early alumni, and the waut of it in

those of a latter day. An adherence to

early and by-gone days is commendabl2in research for legal precedent, and thingssanctified by boary tradition may be re-

vered by antiquarians, but assuredly the

South Carolina College has not this to

boast,-and it does not apply, when the

living witnesses of even its remotest in-ception are before us; it is invidious and

unia~ir, for their locks are whitened bytime, and in them wve viewv the results of

years of industrious study and Laboriousresearch. There are those of an ad-vanced day that can coinpete and are fasihasting eminently to vindicate their gen.eration and their Alma Mater. it is well-known that what were the studies of an

advanced cls, twenty years since, con-

stitute those of one far inferior now, andif our halls of learning are not as crowd-

-ed as those in regions more densely pop-ulated, it is the unagpidable ef'ect of ihehalo thrown around them by age, greatetvariety of branches and number of In:structors, frequently in donations fromprivate individuals for the endowment of

*particular ,chools, combining at an ear

ly period to attract our studeuts and theinwealth in far greater numbers than alpresent. That wve can expect to rivalthem, can only be accomplished by the

steady perseverance of a wise and pairnotic Legislature, assisted by an enlighten-ed and attentive Board of Trustees, pursuing a course that would ensure a reputable contrast with the most favored-most certainly not by curtailing the num-

her of Professors, abridging the means olinstruction, or weakening public confi-dence. If the Press or its correspondentsare to take cognizance in order to con-

doma, why did the State in its wisdomrsee fir to entrust it specially to a Board o1

Inspectors, selected from the learning andcthe parents of the land. To censure its

Professors because forsooth this one is dis-

liked for that foible, and that ridiculed fotanother, this holds a private opinion ob-

noxious to a second. the other to a third.When can a set of men, the wisest anzdmost competent, be ever free from the

abjurations of a population comiprisingsome three hundred thousand. Wherewould we ask was there ever a depo1where young men are congregated in

numbers and -there be not dissipationaong a nortion? Is there less at the

Northern Colleges because we do not see

it?-consult those vbo have graduatedelsewhere and they will tell you infinitelymore. A comparison between them isstrikingly in our favor; so atrocious are

the records of their extravagance and vice

that v e meet them in the public press.-And when has it here occurred that war to

the knife has been waged against a con-

stitutional authority, either civil or colle-giate. And yet, in the veins of the one,is the stagonant blood of a frozen region,and in the other courses. that of the ' ex-

citable Southron.' If within o',r own

limits disturbance is more frequent thanheretofore, it can only be referred to anincrease of numberiand the liberality ofthe age-those of an earlier date incon-testibly evidence that it is far less.We would refrain from referring to in-

dividuals composing its Faculty, were it.not to correct impressions that have goneforth. Silence is less to be lauded thanthe original insinuations of supposed im-perfections. It is needless to say we donot consider the S. C. College faultless,there are grounds for improvement, andlaxity at a point or two, has crept in hereas in all kindred establishments; theseare all well known and commented upon-its advantages are disregarded, we willcanvass each but refer more particularlyto the latter- The correspondent of theCourier justly blames the negligence ofthe Professor of Mathematics on onebrauch of his department,-Astronomy.Tie Professor gives ample evidence of hisin'timate acquaintance with every part ofhis duties, from the satisfactory conclu-sions of the I Plain and Spherical" to themore imaginative requirements of the" Descriptive Geometry"-from the "Mechanique Celeste" of La Place to New-ton's "Principia." But for what is beprincipally valued, and wherein lies thattwhich would otherwise make him indis-psnsably necessary; he is essentially thedisciplinarian. continuously solicitous forthe welfare of the institution, if necessary,life and limb is perilled in its behalf.-'T'hree fourths of our rioters are despatch-ed to their fond and sympathizing home-steads by his ever watchful eye and cau-

tious footstep which neither slumberethnor sleepetb.Full well have the boding tremblers-

The day's disaster in his morning face;And still they gaze-and still the wonder

grows,That one small head should carry all be

knows!"If the unsatisfied are anxious for the

description-if they think the actions ofyoutgimen should be carefully scrutiuizedlet them rest assured their wisthes are a-

buttdantly fulfilled. As regards his ca-

pacity for action he plainly exhibits thecomteuding energy imparted by tniiitaryeducation and has more than once bornehonorable testimony to his skill, patriotist. and daring in preserving the property of our citizens generally, sud we our-selves have witnessed his promptitude in

rescueing f om the devouring element thebuildings of the Institution w itb whichwe were more intimately connected. TheBelles Lettres Professor is a Carolinianand a gentleman, chose" out of a numberof brilliant competitors, from the heart ofour people, he awaits but the lapse of a

short time to do that justice to his depart-ment which it so euitiently requires.-That we should have gaitied one to adorn:the beauties of this fascinating study pe-culiarly qualified with the varied and ele-gant attainments of Legare or Everet,was more than could reasonably be ex-

pected, and should probably have beenattended with, compensating deficiencies;what want of preparation and tintely no-

tice -Jid not allow, 4,is zeal is rapidly amending and dlaily accessiotns are made tothe value of his lectures- A gentletman-ly bearing that teaches tby example; lib-eral and candid advice, peculiarly fittinghim to wvin the confidence of the precipi-tate anddisarm prejudice of its meditatedblow, how many will think of his kitndlyfeeling in the hour of sickness, his prompt-ness in seeking out atnd relieving distress.The writer says of tbe President, Dr.

Henry-To rival his precursor in capaci-ity for management. is impossible, butthat one so capable does not cotnmand theattention due to his merits, is as we saidbefore not surprising. Thu learning, abil-ity and varied 5cholarship displayed in theadornment of a brilliant periodical, in theexposition atnd correction of the false anderroneo~us impressions conveyed by TextBooks selected from an early date wIll as-saredly obtain the satisfactton of the re-

fleeting; we have listened to lectures andstrictures on the various subjects discussedby Paley and Locke, of a civil, political,intellectual and moral nature, that forappropriateness end fitness and elegancewvere unrivalled, when early prejudicesare disarmed this will be acknowledged.Arduous duties devolving upon so respon-sible a situation forbid an attendance uponother branches, thtough the troublesometask of conducting a class in Aristophaneswas not shunibed.That the Professor of Chemistry and

Geology does not pretend to lecture onthe latter is so-and it is rather disingeni-otis that it is still to be attaChed to hisname, thereby deludtng the public intothe belief that it is taught. Though wvedo not wish to be considered as underval-uing its use to Southerners and Agricultu-rists, yet we believe the act requiring himto lectute on Geology is mnore honored tnthe breach than in the observance; thereare none who tfould say they regretted it,for if' 'tis at the expense of what is com-municated mn Chemistry1 and -it certainly

would be in this its growing age, 'twerless irreparable. The Professor of Chemistry can compare for information and ac

curacy with-any that the State could obtain throughout the wide- etent of tnUnion. There are others who have madgreilter discoveries, but there are nonwho could take more absorbing interesin the welfare of his depautment-thmidnight lamp and the unfailing experimer.t experiment equally attest his zeaand superiority, bis lectures, combininpro d philosophical anal)sis with ibmore superficial and attractive graces a

language, are unrivalled. AgriculturaChemistry has received his attention, buthe period allowed for imparting the nias!of facts derived from so rapidly improviAa science is short. The Professorship I.most liberally endowed, and all know itiuse. The gentleman who fills Old History's Chair, we hesitate not to say is mort

disparaged and less deserving of it thatany of his compeers. He is a foreignerand though claiming the epithet of thechivalrous! the generous! the brave! the0ns of Carolina are not those of La BeliFrance! It has been a habit to depreciate his exertions from principles statetbefore. That gentleman's celebrity is un-questionable, his works attest the univereality and the solidity of his attainmentand we regret to say that his presence itthis State is not estimated as elsewhere,both at the North and in Europe; wherehis genus and learning have met Withgreater rewards. Tthe Prophet is notwithout honor, &c. &c. Now we ask insincerity, from what single individual havethe minds or students been most biassed?and from whom have they derived a

greater .-zpansion of ideas-~-nore usefulhints implanted, or more valuable information cenveyed on topics innumerable?united with the readiness and actual plea-sure exhibited in pouring out the treasuresof his erudition. olflicially and in private,in comparison with which his compensa-tion dwindles to a pittance.We profess the utmost astonishment and

mortification when we saw a late writercongratuldting iimself upon the call of a

Chaplain of tne- South Caroliata Collegeto the North; little is he capabte of 1fre-seeing our loss should he determine to ac-

cept! We have htear p@

hearkened to the thrilling private lectureelucidating Scripture-and caught thewords of earnest expostulation as they fellon the Sabbath, and yet nevet known an

expression, that either actually or impliedly leaned towards the peculiar tenets ofhis own sect-whose capacity enforcesthe precepts of Theology and the evi-dences of Christianity ?

Let every Carolinian wachwith scrutiny the first attempts to weakenpublic confidence in this the cherished off-spring of their State-let them ever siriveto maintain its rank and exalt its position;in that dark hour when ignorance was

From Texas.-The brig 'Hope Howes'which arrived here yesterday from Gal-vestdu, brought fuller, though not lateriles of Texan papers. Of course there*s not much news.The Texan papers have given to the

public for the first time, the secret treatybetween Santa Ana and Texas, by whichthe former obtained his release when a

prisoner. The Galveston News says itwas found among the papers of Gen.Austin. Originally the treaty was in-:losed in a letter written by Santa Ana toGen. Jackson, then President of the U-nited States, and the whole accompaniedbly another letter, written by Gen. Austin.at Santa Ana's request, to the same .dis

and influence for the settlement of diffi-culties between Mexico and Texas.-Gen. Austin's letter explains fully thegrounds upon which Santa Anna obtain-ed his release-all of them having refer-ence to the solemn pledge made by thelatter to use all his exertions to obtain theacknowledgement of Texan indepen-dence-to the Rio Grande. The MexicanGovernment never sanctioned this treaty,although they regained their army by it.

Mr. Nathan Taylor, a respectable citi-zen of aontgomery county, Texas, wasshot dead on the 22d uIt., while playinga game of chess with his wife. The as-sassin is utterly unknown.'

Alfred Polk, a relative of the.Presidentof the United States, was recently elected Chief Justice of the county of SanAugustine.-Ibid 20th.We glanced at some of the peculiaritiesor the new Constitution of Texias yester-

day; today we must conclude the subjectby metioning a few other provisions. Inits grand outline, as well as its details, itis too much like the Constitutions of the)ld States to need elucidation.The proposed Constitution provides

that the ordinances passed by the Con-ventionon the 4th day of July last, as-

souting to the overtures for the Annexa-tion of Texas to the United States, shallbe atiched to the Constitution and forma part of the same. This must be con-tinually borne in mind, as the creation ofnew States is therein provided for.

..

The city of Austin is assigned as theseat of government until 18.50, afterwhich it is to be located by the people, bya vote to be taken in Mlarch, in a modepointed out.The Supreme Court has appellate jn-

rtsdtction only; the District Courts havejurisdiction both in law and equity, andin all cases in equity, either party mayclaim a trial by jury.The pardoning power is vested in the

Executive, except in eases of treason andimpeachment. The Governor possessesthe veto power, qualified, however, as inthe L nited States Constitution.

In no case can .the Legislature author-ize the issue of treasury wvarrants or trea-sury notes. or paper of any description,to circulate as money.The Legislature has power to protect

by law, from forced sale, a certain portionof the property of all heads of families.The homestead of a family not to exceedtwo hundred acres of land, (not includedin a town or city,) or any town or city lotor lots, in value not to exceed $2000,shall not be subject to forced sale for anydebts hereafter contracted tnor shall theowtner, if a married man, be at liberty toalienate the samne4 unless, by the consentof the wife, in such manner as the Legis-lature may hereafter point out.

Taxation is to be uniform throughoutthe State; the Legislature may pass anincome tax, and it nuay exempt from tax-ation $250 wyorth of htousehold furnitureor other property belonging to each fami-ly in the State.The Legislature cannot contract debts

to exceed in the aggregate the sum of$100,000, except in case of war, to repelinvasions, or suppress insurrections; andin no case shall any amount be borrow-ed, except by a vote of two thirds of bothHouses of the Legislature.

ncnluonn we copy entire the pl'o-

visions of the proposed Constitution in re-gard to slaves.

SEC. 1.-rhe Legislature shall .bavdno power to pass laws for the emancipa-tion or slaves, without the consent oftheir owners, nor without. paying theirowners, previous to such emancipation, afull equivalent in money, for the slavesso emancipated. They' shall have nopower to prevent emigrants to this State,from bringing with them such persons asare deemed slaves by the laws of any ofthe United States, so long as any personof the same age or description shall becontinued in slavery by the laws of thisState: Provided, that such slave shall bethe bonafide property of such emigrants:Provided. also, that laws shall be passedto prohibit the introduction, into this State,of slaves who have committed highcrimes in other States or territories.-They shall have the righ: to pass laws topermit the owners of slaves to emanci-cipate them, saving the rights of creditorsand preventing them from becoming apublic charge. They shall have fullpower to pass laws, which shall obligethe owners of slaVes to treat them witbhumanity; to prdvide for them, necessa-ry food and clothing; to abstain from allinjuries to them, extending to life or limb;and, in case of their neglect or refusal tocomply with the directions of such laws,to have such slave or slaves from suchowner, and-sold for the benefit of uc*howner or owners. They may pass lawsto prevdnt slaves from being brought intothis State as merchandize only.

SEc. 2. In L(e prosecution of slaves forcrimes of a higher grade than petit lar-ceny, the Legislature shall have no pow-er to deprive them of an impartial -trialby a petit jury.

SEC. 3. Any person who shall mali-.ciously dismember, or deprive a slave oflife, shall suffer such punishment as wouldbe inflicted, in case the like offence hadbeen committed upon a free white personiand upon like proof, except in case of in-surrection of such slave.-lb.

Ciprey, having been again refused th6operation he demanded for the personalindignities offered him some months since;has demanded and obtained his passports.Ile was expected io. leave in the nextpacket from Vera Cruz. The SigidDeezy Neuve makes an elaborate defenceof the action of the Mexican Government,insisting upon it that the demanda of thoBaron were beyond reason, and could notbe granted without trampling upon theinviolability of the powers of the judiciaryand the social -guarantees which reposethereupon.By the papers received at Vera Cruz oi

the 14th from Mexico it appears that adespatch had arrived at the capital, statingthat 3000 regular troops of the UnitedStates-and 1500 Texans were on themarch for Matamoras.By the retarus Herrera has received 110

Pare-dos has written that he lhes succedited irirestoring order. and professes to %e favor-ably disposed to the present Got'ernment;these professions, are, however, distrusted.The order for establishing the Defen-

sores has been unsuccessfull in mostof thedepartments heard from. In some D)e-pnrtmenis they had not enlisted a singleperson. The terms of the enlistment haveinconsequence been modified. The sys-tem of voluntury enlistmrent has been re.garded by the supporteis of the armywith great jealousy, and was denouncedas intented to supplant and disband theregular troops for political purposes..The Santa Anna Party are in favor of

postponing the declaration of war againstthe United States to a more propitioustime, in veiw of thelpresent distracted andunprepared condition of the country. The-Siglo. XIX'still contends, as it did in the'outset, that- as the war with the UnitedStates is a. war defence solely, the objeciof which is to recover a portion of territorywhich has been wrested froma Mexico;.that an express diclaration or annouce;ment of war is not necessary; that theprevious prote-sts and solen declarationeof MIexico cover the whole grouind.The Government is do beset with diff-.-
