- >. t? ," > 5 *V SOUTH CAROLINA. It h.:3 been tlie practice of small tl.uigwhangers anil demagogues to belch oat their foul streams of abuse on South Carolina. When their narrow intellects and anti-southern feeing and prejudices are without a topic, that gnlfcut State furnishes a theme on which they suppose they can successfully arouse the prejudices of the people. Cut that theme is getting threadbare?that demagoge claim r is fast los; j ig its force. 'J hat State has'at all .limes had pior.e talent in it in proportion to its population than any other State. It has at all times been di languished for its freedom from pauperism* and crime; for the noble and exalted hospitality of its inhabitants, and for the bravery of her sons oa the field of battle. We believe we sneak the truth vvlien we saw that more of her zr. ?- --- S(?:is voliKUa/iij declined exalted official stations in the State and federal Government than in any State in the Union; and we ask with triumphant defiance the calumniators of South Carolina to show one ' single instance in the tchole financial history of the country in which ff^-it^ has invested five hundred thousand dollars, in a public enterprise in another and distant State in which she loses every particle of benefit Hiking from the local expenditure of the money! i'onder on this, ye calumniators of Charleston and South Carolina! v Uut, oh! South Carolina nullification! exclaims the wilv demagogue in his appeals, who SvTskes to use old prejudices for the destruction of slavery. South Carolina nullification ! exclaims the consolidation federalist who wishes toiobiiternte State laws and have one grand, corrupt, central, consolidated government!? And what of that! Is there any one now who haS the impudence and audacity to say that the monstrous larin 01 ic?o, oui ni which oouin Carolina nullification arose, was not a gross, an abominable outrage on the rights of the f?dnth? Where can there be found a defender of that unequal law now ? And no doubt South Carolina,having but few manufactories?fewer, perhaps, at that timcthnn any State in the Union ?hew great staples being rice and cotton? South Carolina, having almost e/ery thing to bujrfrorn abroad, and selling nothing but her staples, was worse oppressed than any State in the ynion. The people of the United States Juvp passed a final condemnation on the explog| ded theory of protection. The State of Pennsylvania, in the Presidential election, organized at public clamor about an iron tax, but the thing ! to Tf Itno Ko/tn At>A?#lt PAiun * ? ? i^fiirlunrl i la u\NIU? utid wrru u*ci WII v?? u 1.1 X?U^HHIW, jfldiwffl soon bo regarded as or.e of the exploded .fa 11 acies of a by-gone age; and the course i .of South Carolina no doubt had its share in the destruction of that system. If South Carolina aitttKl hastily then?if she committed excesses, none will now lie so false and audacious as to 3eny that she was provoked and enraged by the Action of the general government, by the passage of the act of 1S2S. She acted under a goading sense of wrongs and injuries. - But South Carolina advocates the immediate withdrawal of the Southern States f.omthe Northern States! Some of her citizens do and j some do not. What the action of the conslitu- I authorities ol the State will be. lies in the ; fatore, and depends upon the united action of; flie southern States, and upon the prospect ol continued aggression by the northern States, l leading direct y and plainly to the emancipation i of four millions of slaves in these southern i States. South Corolina has more slaves than | '\Vhites within her borders. She Las a deeper ! pecuniary interest in the question of :l.;\u.ry j than any of her sister southern States, il'-r ! soil is most highly fitted for slave labor, and i the destruction of slavery would desoi.ite that , State forever, even if they could be removed. | Sooth Carolina is exposed in a higher degree I to the danger of insurrections from these liar rassing agitators than auy other State. Gen. j Jackson in his message in 1832 told these ; abolitionists that their agitations might lead to ! insurrections and that they must end thein.? I This idea so far front quieting them seems to j stimulate their activity and increase their zeal, j Is the exposed anddangerousconditimi of South j Carolina, is the prospect of unparalleled desn.1 lation staring them, as they believe, in the face, j sufficient to furnish no apology for the various j opinions and action of South Caroline, from : her sister States who have a deep interest in ' the same question ? South Carolina is acting 1 on the defensive. She is not the aggressing party, and it is a base and unblushing calumny to charge that she is tho aggressing party. If Senator Seward were in Nashville as the conductor of a public press, seeking the destruction _ r l l . i.i a 1 _ _ _ _ oi siuvury, ue avuuiu uic his pnpgun once a i week at Vermont and his seventy-lour daily at j South Carolina. U there any man in the State who believes that if South Carolina felt secure in those rights which the Constitution guaran- | ties to her, she would not be tranquil and sus- > tain the Union of these States if No, not one i but knows she would. We deeply apprehend from the dreadful storm which now rages in the North, that the South is to he degraded from her equal condition in this confederacy, and that the worst anticipations of South Carolina are about to be 1 realised.?Nashville American. A Railroad to thr Pacific.?The use of National Hall, at Washington, has been tendered to Mr. Whitney, by its proprietors, lor Saturday (tomorrow) evening, for the purpose of explaining his great project for the construction of a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean to those who i may desire to hear him.

Under Ihi* appropriate head the Charleston Sun makes soidh comments upon th? following article fiutn a Georgia Submission paper, in which a:i ill-di-guised pleasure is betrayed at the possible chances of difficulties and hisses uveitnking a sister Slate itild city. We do not tloijlit thai these outward croaking* and inward chuckling* at the prospect of profiling at the expanse ?,f South Carolina will he baulked and cliejited. This sWcet dream of ruin to Charleston commerce and prosperity, conjured up by perverfed leeling* and a detestihle selfi.?hness, ci.uld not he realized, 'should Smith Carolina, at attv lime, choose -to withdraw from a Confederacy. of Sovereigns into which she entered a* a Sovereign of her own fee will. The jn?t pride nfj-be South, and In r own security, the honored'principles of Slate Rights, would rUe ! op and forbid coercion by the Federal Govern i in*'lit. The moral sense of the world would revolt at it, mid South-Carolina would find friend* stepping forth to protect low throughout the Union. Foreign countries intere>ted in her commerce, would vindicate, by treaties of alliance with her, the prinriples ot political and and commercial freedom involved.

Akin to ihe croaking* we have spoken of, are the petty and disgraceful efforts of Georgia Submission papers to di*eredit the Dank paper of South-Carolina at this time, by predicting for her, in case of secession, a suspension of her lianksau.'l a great depreciation of her paper cur. rency, and loss ol'State credit. Those predictions we consider as ill founded as they are malignant and dishonoring to the source whence they emanate, and the efforts to effect piesent injury to Carolina Banks, will he as impotent as they are disnraecfu'.

In point of ability and readiness to meet their engagements, the Stale of South-Carolina and Carolina Batiks, will coin pate most favorably even with the history n| Georgia legislation, and Georgia Banking iiistitul'inn*.

Should circumstances ever unhappily fin re her to lest their ellicieucy in defence ol her rights and her liberty upon her own soil, they will prove adequate to the emergency.

God, the refuge of his people. Is the beautiful title of a Discourse delivered before the General Assembly of S. Carolina, in December last, by Whitetbord .Smith, D. D.

We cannot too strongly urge upon our citizens lllW ausmuu: necessity ui sunidiiiiiig uinui.iuui ui | Southern enterprise and independence. To all ; southerners we would sav, educate your rhildreii j at home?we mean at the South?at institutions where no Northern influence is at work to underuiiiio and destroy the southern feelings and principles of the rifting generation. We arc satisfied i that the South has sustained immense injury by the fictitious belief that Northern goods were hut-1 ter, that Northern educations were more polished J and finished than Southern. These are all no- ! lions which it is necessary we should get rid of, j if we ever expect to maintain an independent po- j sition towards that portion ot tho Union which , seems determined to oppress and destroy us?not j regarding us as equals, hut inferiors, ff we w ere j inferiors, then indeed would our condition be hope- j less, then might wn w ith propriety go to the .North j for our models and every tiling else?but we km/to that in no point of view whatever, are we inferior to the North. Why is it that our people act so very inconsistent with their interests by educating their children abroad, when they caft be better educated at home? We have no reason to believe that those persons educated abroad are more intelligent, refined, more highly cultivated, or better suited to the callings and professions of lift* than thoso who have graduated at Colleges of our own. Perhaps those men who are eminent in their professions, and have risen to the proudest eminence, and occupy exalted and honorable positions in our midst, who wero educated or graduated at Northern Colleges, would have risen still higher, and attained the very acme of fame, if they had been educated entirely at home. There is no certain rule by which we may determine this, but the inference is just, that they might enjoy as many advantages in the one case, as in the other. It is idle talk now to say that a Northern education is prelsrcblc to a Southern. If pjbp!.. ~ - '2 / " 4 ^ ri V.. - f must tend abroad, why let them erwl ty Europe, j That would be something worlh tniking about.? ' We heard an individual once, not a thousand * miles irom here, say, that he ccuidn't lie unrated ! to attend the Lecture.0 of the d/cdicul College of Soutfi Carolina at C jtrleston?an.! wherefore bej cause he preferred going to Philadelphia or New York v\ here gteater au vantages might be derived, by his qsKOciaiit .gr. we t.tij pose he meant, with a greater number of eminent tueu in tilt medical i profetbioii. Our piivafe opinion of ihi.sgeutletxiau is, that it makes but little difference with him where he graduates, a.-, he need never hope to excel our own Sani'l Henry Dickson in the practice ; ol medicine, lor in the first plat e the prerequisite* j are necessary, and in the second place, for a j southern man with southern affinities to pref-r a | northern college now when iust as eood nt 'v be I had at homo, he don't deserve success in anything i lie undertakes. We have no patience u ith sucliindiriduals. It is a matter of inexpressible deli: h: to us, trr I see that in some measure lite charm is not wmas great as it once was: the spell is evid> niiy breken?" and we hope the day is not far distant when a thorough %nd effectual system of non-interccuivt? iir'fTns particular.least, shall be measurably' adopted bv the southern Slates.

I.et the commence- f merit he at the beginning, lay the foundation ihr the prosperity and perpetuity of our institutions, I in the education and training of the rising gener| alion?then may we hope to see them worthy ot* ! their noble heritage. In every branch of educa. lion we are abundantly blessed at this day in the South. It is only necessary in order to render these institutions superior to those at thi North, that they should be patrcni/ed.
