REPORT Of the Minority of the Cimmittee on Privileges and Alert ions, on " A Hill to provide for the election of Electors of President and Vice President of the % United State* by the Peoplo cf South Carolina.^ The undersized, a Minority of the Committee on Privilege* and Elections, to whom *? referred A Bill to Provide for the Election of Electors of President and Tics President of the United State* by Ji the People of Sooth CaroKna, beg leave to % ?a COUNTER-REPORT, Your Conftnitte belicvo that the election of EiectOTs oMVesWent and \Tke P??* ident of the United States by the.people, would be more in accordance will* tne pro vision* and spirit of tlio Constitution o^ the United States, and the principles oK the Government. The Government of the United Slates is a mixed Government, partly popular and |>artlv federative, and these features are manifested in the provisions in the Constitution for the election of President and V ice President. In voting for President and Vice President, each State votes according to her representation in Congress?South Carolina nine and New York dbirty-ejx. A majority of all the votes so cast, being necessary to a choice, and this represents the popular feature of the government. It is only after the popular branch fails to elect, that the election assumes a federate character, and the States vote as State?,each State counting one. This J sat mode election is the result of the failure to elect, and a pruT!'** for ,Uch <??; img**,. Tb,Ccm^:'Ja"f,k,.UXU^l States provides that M each State stiau mJ" point, m the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of doctors eoual to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State shall be entitled in the Congress." From which it is clear that the Legislature would have the power to direct aa to the appointment, or, in other words, to direct the mode, by which < the appointment shall be made. Hut in i prescribing the mode, regard should be < nod, not only to the provisions of the Const!- I tution regulating the election of electors, { hut also to the principle by which the ' votes are cast fur President and Vice President. The election upon the first cast- i img of the votes being a popular one, the I tmnda of appointment l?y the Legislature < should conform to that principle. And it I is submitted, that the election f electors I by the people, would be more in accord- < unco whu uie vvonHuuiuon or me united Hutas, and the popular principle by which the votes are cast, than the election of aW-tom by the Legi?latur?, which partaken more of the federative character. Your Committee would alao recommend Abe pa?Af of the fiiUi from iU expodiea' cjr, -ad aa d?awdaif by the position in whkfc dee tkate ? placed by the act of C-p? of 1840. Congrats haa by that Uw prescribed that the election dteteohars, throughout the United States, shall take plaee on the Tuesday after the nst Monday in November, at a day aaterlor to the meetincr of <Kn I >?fU] ? ..?? -rJ tfcia Nut*. A MOMiqr th*n exiela, that I tb? Ooaetitution of thk Bu te ahajl be to i aawM, that the LegifUturo will Win ?mM at the dine, or that the Governor i ahafl call an extra leadon of the Legiala* tare every four yean, or that the election hall be given to the people. The two 1 1m propeahiona are objectionable.

The whole difficulty may provided for try a simple legislative enactment, giving the election of electors to the people. As to the other proposition, for the Governor to call an Extra Session of the Legmature every four years, there are objecn?i to it. It is a qncstion admitting o! doubts, whether the Governor can constitutionally convene the Legislature for the purpose of voting for electors. 44 He may on extraordinary occasions convene the General Assembly," but it is submitted, that the Legislature having met since the passijgc of the act by Congress, the occasion is no longer an extraordinary one, within the moaning of the Constitution, but bccoinss an extraordinary one, and ca :?-J *- * .??.v vi mnii|j pruviucu ior oy ordinary legislation. Even, too, if there were no doubts as to the power of the Governor to call an extra session of the legislature for that purpose, still there are objectors to a call session, on account of the inconvenience and expense. It is true, however, that the expense would not be very great, only about ten or twelve thousand dollars every four years; bu. it is the principle. If the principle is wrong, it is unnecessary and therefore uncalled for. Will this Bill interfere with the Parish representation and the Compromises of the Constitution of this State! Your Committee believe that it will not, and they aro not disposed to interfere with that compromise. The principle recognised :n the Constitution of this State is, that not only |H>pulation, but taxation also, should have representation; but it is only in the State Legislature, where laws arc made, and taxes imposed, that that principle obtains, and in the relations which the Districts and Parishes bear to the State Government in the Legislature thereof, and not in the election of electors?a relation altogether different The principle of reresentation in this State is a domestic settlement, applicable alone to the legislative action of tne State. The election of President and Vice President grows out of our Federal Relations, and is provided for by the Constitution of the United States. i our Uoimnittec would also recommend the passage of the BUI, because the election of electors by the people, wUl prevent the mingling of State and National politics in the election of Members of the Legislature, and give to the people an opportunity of calling iat? the Council of State, fit and suitable representatives to serve Mmu *who, at the In conclusion your Committee would allude to the foot, that South Carolina is pgr!)ape the only State in the Union in ^ ich the election of electors is made by ^e Legislature. This is a circumstance well worthy of consideration, and furnishes at least, a presumption in favor of the election by the people. They are satisfied that the people of South Carolina possess the same intelligence and integrity of purpose with the |>eople of the other Slates and are as capable of making a proper selection for President and Vice President, as they are capable of making a proper selection of members of the Legislature. Entertaining these views, your Committee would respectfully submit the Bill for the consideration of the House. Geohge McC. Wrranarooy, It. Mookmax, D. S. Taylor, Wm. Giles. ibiritfu Irtirlfs. From the Biblieal Reeoru Jortune Telling, Ac. Dm Rko. Tobet :?This is the age , of improvement Astonishing improvements arc daily made in the arts and sciences. We boast of our superior advantages and knowledge over the ancients and the heathen nations, yet in tunny respects ire display bat little superiority to them. Superstition and belief in familiar spirits, fortune-tellers, Ac^ prevails loa shameful and alarming extent, in some parts of oar country. There are some neighborhoods where nearly all the inhabitants believe in tricking, poisoning by stepping over articles laid 6* that purpose, Ac.? I regret that many church members (be it said to their shame) believe in these things, and are in the habit of txmeulting fortune tellers. This state of thinp is very ranch to be regretted for several reasons. 1. Those persons who consult fortune tellers in cases of sickness, to And lost or itolen property, or to find out whether or not they will ever marry, Ac., beoome the butt ami ridicule of their less superstitious and baiter Informed neighbor*. If ikrjr are eAarrA wwbf, Ml unfceorabi* im 1 pi#*wi<>ii i? made agaiaat their aietjr. 2. it ia "Ami prodnetire of Um jopeatrnt ?vila, deception, diaoord, diaapoointment and incredible miachief To Uluatmie tkia | I will rive a caae that haa happened with- i ia my knowledge.

Ibe negro, ao donbt foed | of a fever that was | revailing at that time, and would probably have been cured bui for this delusive superstition. A certain lady was taken sick, and her husband believed she was tricked or poisoned, consulted the same fortune teller, who gavn directions, Ac., as in the case above. A neighbor and relation was thereby suspicioned. Great excitement prevailed, neighbors and relation* nut at variance perhaps forever. In such a community the negroes who are taken sick, believe that they are poisoned, or in theii own language, M hurt." They have no confidence in physicians, however skilful, throw away tneir medicine, and secretly take medicine from some conjuring negro in the neighborhood. Home whits people do the same thimr. 8. It is sinful. All church reemben who believe in and consult diviners or fortune tellers should be dealt with and expelled from the church as for any othei immoral act. The Bible is plain upor this subject. Mai. 3:5. "I will be a swift witneai against the sorcerers." Mic. 5: 12. ''Thou shall have nc more sooth-say crs." Deut. 18. 14. "These nations hark encd to their otwervers of times, and tc dinner*, hut the Lord thy God have nol tntjftrrd thee to do so." Deut. 18: 10, 12. "There shall no* be found among you one that ?w(A divination or a consul ter with familiar spirits for all these tilings are an abomination tc the Lord." Lev. 10: 31. " Regard not them thai have familiar spirits." Lev. 20 : 6. " And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits... .1 will set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." Jer. 20 : 0, 10. " Hearken not toyoui diviners, your enchanters, your sorcerers They prophesy a Us unto you." From uiese declarations of God's word, it is evident that it is very offensive to him for his people to consult diviners, fortune tellers, Ac., for any purpose whatever.? Our churches should awake to this sub jeci, ana deal with their member* who are guilty of consulting fortune teller*. I should be pleased to hear from the Editor or some of his experienced correspondents upon this subject. (?ao. W. Puairr. Mill Dill, March 20th, 1852. Aa Awful Km Km. A few years since, a worthy hardware merchant, who had made hi* fortune is *e ?fcy of Haw Tortt 'determined so sen off his stork and retire. His goods were soon disposed of and the shop empty. In sweeping out his store he found in tl c crevice* and corner*, a few shot of all sixes ; lie gathered them up in the hollow of his hand, and stood for some second* gazing at them ; at length, seix'ng his hal he rushed into an adjoining liquor store, where they also sold shot, and thus addressed the proprietor. u In cleaning my store I found a few shot; they aro of nc use to me, but to you they are worth something. I don't value them very highly, but perhaps (here he lowered his voice,) you would give me a half a glass of beer for thein." (Jive it up.?Ex. paper. It would not be difficult for us to point out a very larire number of men in ?l?; latitude who are quite capable of doing as mean tl'ing* as that recorded in the above extract. A few years ago, a man well known in this town, kept a imaU grocery not far from this village, where he retailed crackers and cheese, cider and bear, pipes and tobacco, Ac. It ia said in weighing out crackers, rather than give the purchaser the hundredth part of an ounce over weight, he would divide a cracker. We once saw a man call for a pound of candles in a grocery in this village.? The price of the candles was one shilling, .<ui ho iu~;H cent piece, who gave biu? * short " ling**?a dime and two eents?in change. The man took the change, hesitated a moment, and then said, M you may give me a half cent" which the grocer did, and the man took it and went off. We read, not long since, a man, who was invited by another to take a glass of beer. When they had got up to the bar, the one who hod bean invited aaid to the other, " If you had juetasfeew^ you may give me three oeuta, and I wont drink any thing" Of course no objection was made, and the poor soulless reptile put the Lhre*> cent* into hi* pocket and walked off.

Dear Dutchman?Having for a day stolen a march on the fogs and soot of London, I thought the time could not be better employed than ia visiting the , haunts of the "sweet Swan of Avon."? How many thousand pages have been written, and how many more could be , written to advantage on the birth-place ' of the immortal bard ! What glorious > recollections are awakened?how many i delightful memories steal upon us! It is * subject of which we never tire. The \ shrine demand* pilgrimage, and ilie very ground seems to pome* a Kacredness which the basest inconsiderate dare not r profane. To one, as myself, who holds i every object connected with the poet in such deep respect, a day spent in cxainini iag his memorials is fraught with mingled feelings of wonder and admiration. > As Thorn, the author of "Rambles by River*," remarks very truly, tbe town of Stratford would poeseaa no particular nt> traction, were it not celebrated a* the birtht place of Shakspeare. Beyoud being a clean, quiet, snug little village, it lias no t remarkable advantaj^a in respect to k> cation, but at the birth-place of the great , poet, it ia the most inteieating Rpot in Kng> land. This fact invest* it with a magic more potent far than if it was the stmiigl hold of a lino of kings, and the birth place of more warrior* than have lived since the day* of Leooidas. [ There is at present very little in the I town that met the eye of him whose name givea it prestige. One by one the ancir ent relic* have disappeared, and with the , eaception of a church, a guild chappel, and an old house bearing the in, scriplion 16 on its front, and the house in i which Shakapeare was bom, there is notht ing remaining of the olden days. The . hand of modern improvement haw laid des. olate the tokens of by-gone times, and ? much ia the fact to be regretted. The outside of the f>oet's house struck me very i curiously. It seems like an ancient tum I" i?- -?? - * wuvwu uiu iFuicuer s nnop oi humhlc aspect, and on* can scarcely realize that the man whose writings were "for all time," could have inhabited so unassuming a tenement. But the house, very properly, is preserved in all its primitive integrity. The floor is paved with stones much bruised and cut up, as if they had been hacked , by a bu tdier's cleave*. One one side is I i a large fire-place, with comfortable sitting i plat?, wtriok |mki; mbMm u?e*H Mm , of olden timed niches, such as we rend of , in old and verv musty books with shrep) akin covers. Vrom the kitchen a small . flight of stairs conducts to the chamber i where the great bard first entered as an ) actor upon the seven ages of life. It is a t low, small sized room, about viz paces by t four, with a window of four combined casements, and a fire place with a huge lieam supporting its mantle. Here in this cham, her have thousands of all nations, and , from all quarters of the glolie, paid their . willing homage, as the scribbled taixvtry denotes. The very air veems to whisper . the startling revelation?Shnkupcart vat born htrt! I could not help but notice the ill taste of pilgrims who have inscribed their names on tho walls; some were written very large ami flourishing, others bold and legible; and it is worthy of remark that the autograph of Sir Walker Scott was the most modest and unassumi ing in the room. From a book which iu Irj.rLt ? ' *1 ' 1 ?I- .v.. names in aid oi tne | fund* for the complete-purchase of the ' property, w* learn that ?400 still remain , a burthen unon the house, and had to be obtained by mortgage. This seems almost incredible, when the strenuous effort* that have been made to collect subscriptions are considered. The site of the home of Shakspeare, when in Strntford, is now occupied by a lofty tree, tb?t waves in the wind with melancholy moiiC-?1'he liome in which he abided being brokcu up anu forever, j Many authors have attempted to picture, the gentle Shakspeare in it is pleasant retirement on this spot, but trie truth is, . no chronicles exists, and whatever golden web authors may *p:n, the thread must be fancilied and imaginative. The fate of the house is ia reality thus stated \ Shakspeare left H to hi* daughter, Mrs. Hall, for her lifetime, aud it was inhabited by her and Wr husband. Doctor | Hull, a phvsician. At Mrs. Hall's death, i in 1649, the house passed to her only i daughter, who became Lady Bernard.? After her death the premises were sold and came again into tlie Clopton family. 17M, a Rev. Mr. Gastrell, vicar ofFrods I harm, in Cheshire, purchased tlic proporI ty, but bei?? pestered (we ouoto the word,! with inquiries Mxnit Hhakspearc, ad the mulbery tree in the garden planted by him, he, in 17A#, ill-naturedly cut! it down, the wood being gladly purchased by watchmaker of the town, who converted them into artioles and told them as roomentoa.
