PRESLEY's Brick'Store. e 0 Cold Weather.-For some days during the I past week, the weather was very cold. On Saturday, water froze all day in the shade. It We are'indebted to tie Hon 1. W. Pacx.ss for a pamphlet copy-of the President's Mes. sage. The length of the President's Message. is tr our apology for the exclusionofsomee vauable ii matter from our columns, this week, which si shall appear at an early date. We have tho't 0 best to publish it nil in one edition, as .a divis. ion deprives our readers of forming a correct idea of the topics contained therein. ro The Message of Mr. Vanil Buren, is a very % able one. As has been'said, his vindication of - the financial policy of his Administration. is nr masterly and copillete. He las made the re issue distinctly before the country, between s his measures on the one hand, and a National I hank, and National debt policy on the other. c He establishes satisfactorily, that the Sub Treas b try, during the short time in which it lias been in operation, has worked well. Time will show. whether the new Administration, when it shall coine into F 'ver, will propose il any thing better for the countr) Judging from M present appearances, we do not letev.- 'lat s' the Whigs can unite in the ssup;-ort of a National Bank. If they repeal the Sh T eas n nry law, they will be forced to fill back upon i the old exploded deposit system. The course it orthe new Administration will be surrountided ti with difficulties. Geni Ilarrismn.will not fintJ his m path strewn with rises. The LAgislatnre of this State adjourned on It Friday last. That portion of the Militia Laws, authorizing Encampment Reviews, orgtaized under Gov. 3'Duffie's adiinistration. has h been repealed, and power given to Captans of Companies to appoint Court 3artialh, for the e trial of defiulters, in their respective compa. nies. We shall endeavor to puilish some of i the most important Acts passed during the Ses sion. ii The following gentlemen were, on the 16th inst., elected by the Legislautre of thi. staste. frosi,teit and Directors of the Bank of the il State of South Cat olina: E. 1l.

Froma the spirit amaanifestedl ly some of thec leadinag paresses, we are led toa inafer that tile I snihject of reduction of Postage, is to be agita-.s ted dutring the paresent sessiont of Coangress. tI We are pleased to see this subject aegnin re. ha vived. and trust, that it will he pressed uponae a Conagress ntutil newv, and lower rates of p)ostage " are adopted. We think that there can lie but one opiionl tupon this subject, atnd that is. rhaat na alteration is imuperioutsly demanded bay the wanats and interests of the cenuntry. The high a rates of piostage, are clearly a buarden to all ti elasses, and a drawback uipona our inatellecttual vi imcprovemcent. and social enjoymneant. Theis fal assertion could be easily demotnstrated if theo P proposition neceded proof. We are behaind the age in thi's matter. England leas set nIs a suic-t cessfnl and practical exatnple, anad calls for ouar imitation and fsurthser improvemuent t The city of brothaerly love. was a short timle cal since throwni into great commeotion, on account of the tmarriage of a .Mr. Jamnes linenl, aged 84. to his grand-daughtecr, ag d abotut -20. It SeII that the youthful groomi was ntot a ware. that the law, both civil atnd ecclesiastical, forbaids the S batns, beut he became wiser very shortly. anid applied to the Aldcrmnan who haad pertormned w the marriage ceremony, to cancel the certili- w cate. This ofenurse lhe did not do. althottgh P~ the miarringe is null anid void. The fobiowing article fromi the Temperance Advocate, hlas otur unqutalified approbatio.- f There is nao evil ina the land deserving severer reprehtensiont, and more condign putnishmlent. C than the despicable otne wich is here an justly tih denounced. Some rnena, of strong physical I Pt courage, do sotmetimes wyear concealed deatdly ea weapoens ; btut these, are most ustaully carriedl teo by cowards. We trulst, thae appeali to the young ist men of' the college, may lbe listened toa witha ta profit: but, we are sorry to kncow, theat the re habit of carryineg these weapons, is nlot con- Ia fined to the rash and utnreflectinag youth alone. th It is a most lamentable trth, that mjen of age,c of large famailies, rmen who ought to set heater examaples, practice the samne thinag. We have ha long desired to see pubalic opjiniona take the pro. vt per direction in this matter in South Catrolieea, "l and we trtust the day is not very distant, when a man shall be branded as he deserves by the ill cnmmnity, anud held anmenable to the laws,. who shsall habitlatily wear conceatled :ad death ly wveapons about his person. We knoiw a c man of large family, who seeks to he esteemledi very valianet, who makes himself promninenit in the diffienlities of other mten, and who supjpon's li that he is regarded as a gentleman anld a mlanti of nerve, becatuse he is sometimes knowna to i:t ave a pistol in his breast, ud at oher tunes it observed to hang out of his breeches pocket; it those I ho know him best, believe him to the veriest " Ransey sniffle" in the whole mntry. So that it is seen, that it is no naric ' courage, but rather an evidence of the op )site spirit, to indulge the habit in question: Bewa re of Carrying Deadly W'eapon. rofessor Davis, of the University of Vir nia. in attempting to sup press a riot, or acas, was recently shot b1V one of, I lie Stu en's, and died soon arter. Thus, in an nuatirded hour. a young trian has not on (ldeprived the Ioiiversity of a valued offi r, hut by the rash act imiplantted in his wit bosome a thorn, that will rankle to the itest day of his life, if he should Le so for mate as to eseape the peialty of the Law. 'his is one of the fruits of that most detes ble, ungentlemanly prastice, too common mong young men in the South. of carry Ig deadly weapons concealed about their mrons. Young gentlemen of our own College, e appeal to you; let this solemn warning ach you to frown down this savage praC ne. We are all excitable beings-pas on often for a moment blinds the reason even good men, but even that moment long enough, if a deadly weapon is in ie hand. to perpetrate a deed of violence, hieb may fill your soul with horror and morse iliroighout the longest lire. Be are how you deliberately lead yourself into temptation" ; in a mtoment of excite ent it may prove too powerful for your sistanee. We were shocked a few (lays tice to see a .young man in this Town, aw a pistol frot his pocket to fit it with ilis, so as to le ready for use. Had lie neu a common street bully. we should not ve been surprised, but it was a moral, ntlemanly youtig man, and very recent an inst rtetor of vo1t bi!! Could young mein bitt see themselves as mse, whose good opintions they would ish to gnin, .ee them, when arming them ,Ives with Pistol and Dirk, they would irink from the deadly weapotis as front te plague-spot of disgrace. There is ithing iojtistify this prnetice, and every ing to condemn it. W hetn we see a inai rmin-g hiniseff, we take it for gratied int he does so, expecting to visit places here no gentlemanit should ibe found, and i mingle in sceeits incoimpatible with the ignity of a gemfiernn. If not. why arm im-telff? A peacefil citizen, in the pros ition of peaceful huciness, has nothi g i l'ear. The laws of the lami, and a yet tore potent itublie opinion, throw around im a protectintg shield. But it is dastardly to go armed. Can a entlcenan, in a iersonal rencontre, draw concealed weapon and use it npon an nusipect in t opponienit, whIo is igntor-ant tat he is citeliog with I armoed man? Ve say distinctly ihat 1no gentleman, inl te t -ne sen4e of the word can or will do deliberately. 1i is base, cowardlv, as issin-like, wholly reputgnant to it code f honor, leavinig the laws of God on1 of ie que.,0ion. If then the judament, a< ell as the feelings of honor, of a ietle tant, r'evoilt at stefh a thiig, why Lo arm I ? Some young men think it an evi ie of manliness to go "aI lenthis," ne is teried. in a fitbr. nil to have Ifte crve to6 wse at pistol, or dirk. hat to otr ind tio kn"l-darp Ofhal n ieti Uafls am. 1, is conclusive evidence of a weak head id vet weaker moral plrittciples. 1.

Mr., Clay attacked the hill of his Alabama tmesake,'to rednece and gradtiate the price of Sputbfie lands. lb said it wals, however 'guised, a hill to redntee the value ot thie pub ands. Mr. Catlhottn's nroject of cessiona will come in conflict with Mr. Clay's lt An of N distribution. Mr. Webster strongly intimated a desire to offei opposlition. in tinege. to the views of the Prasident and the Secretary of the h Treasury, in regard to the finance, a national bank, &c. At his instance. the refbence of these suljects to the Fitiance Commiittee was el postponed tih Weduesday. We have, thus. rangevidences that the Senators intend, -t v once. to commence the fight oss some of the o great subjects befbre the coiitry. and that the e present session. though so short, will be devo. it ted tmaitsly, to speech-tmaking.

December. 15, I As was anticipated, yesterday. the Senate has plunged at once. into the excited party de bates ofilte session. A io.t piqunt anl tam teresting discussion took place mon the proaposi tiots r Mr. Clay, of Ky., declaring that the a .Su. Treasury law otght to be repealed, atd instructiig the Cintnainee nn Finamne to re port a Bill accnrdingly. The die-bate was iman. aged with good tetieallr and courtesy, buat it was not the less ardent ott that account. Mr. Clay, prefaced hisresolution with some remark. on the popular expression of opiniion, at the hlate elecliot against the SuI-Treastry, a and contended tiat it was the duty of the Sen ate to how to, tle mtajte.ty of the people, ind] repeal an act which itd proved to be so odious to thet. Mr. Calhhonn regretted that thiis subject was now pressed ont the '.-nnte andt 'te country.- I lie hopedl that the Senate would be pernitid . to attenid quietly to the paiblic business; that the cou:ntry after piatssing throtrh It confliet of utt. 0 exampttiled exciteieti. would be allowed to re potse.
