Pickqsspommenced the intolerable system ofiduping aiifabusing the public mind. It was'their first effort to 'taisrepresept the polities of:Mr. Wardlaw.

Permitting Col. P. tolpass for his intrinsic value, we present lfr. Wardlaw's claims, sim ply upoq the #round of his talents and charac ter, in cnnexion with the fact of his never hav. in been rewarded. according to his high anad acknowledged merit. -In butht equity and law, 'his speeches have ever been. those of the. profound logician and the correct philologist. - The distinguished judge-the learned jurist, and the high literary gentleman acknowledge him in the first rarik, as respects literature, politics, and law. As regards the qualities of the heart, it may with perfect truth be Paid that his sterling integrity, and great moral worth, are matters of general notoriety. It is a mat ter of no little satisfaction to the friends of Mr. Wardlaw, that his reputation comes from no unstable or humble source-but from that ho dy of his fellow citizens, whose acknowledge ment of merit is as honorable as it is intelligont: and to whom it is matter of astonishment and regret,'that we continue to overlook and prac. tically depreciate his talents. Even in this present contest. when we have been disposed to urge the high qualifications of Mr. Wardlaw. we have been met with an argument (if I may thus term it as false in principle as it is discreditable to those who use it. It is argued, and that too, by some gentle men of intelligence, that such virtues and such attainments, may not even constitute a wise statesman. Against this very erroneous idea I might quote many eminent authorities-but let one of the greatest suffice for the present. Sir Win. Blackstone says, -- The membres of the Legislature are the makers, repealers, and inferpreters of the laws. Delegated to propose, to cherish. and to adopt, any solid and well weighed improvement.' Sir Win. then ex claims, '' How unbecoming it must appear in a member of'the Legislature to vote for a new law, who is ignorant of the old !" Afain he ex claims, " Vat kind of interpretation can he be enabled to give who is a stranger to the text upon which lie comments !" Furthermore, lie declares. It is amazing that every man orsu perior fortune thinks himsetf born alegislator.' his is also the pluin reason of the case. The duty of members to our State Legislature is to make. repeal, and amend laws, almost entirely of a civil character. And shall a member make a law before he learns that there is a defirtien. cy I Shall he repeal before ho learns that there is one of a useless or unjust chara'ter ? Shall he amend before he is aware of any defect 7 Let those who oppose 51r. Wardlaw seriously consider as candid men, these questions. In my next communication I will consider a fact -that cannot fail to have great influence with all who are disposed to extend that justice and encouragement to talents and virtue, which they at all times so richly deserve. DEMOCRAT. Hon. IW. B. Scabrook.-We extract th. cl lowing biographical sketch of this gentleman, from a comnunication which appeared in the Charleston Mercury, of the 27th inst., signed ,One of the People." We request our readers to give it a careful perusal, feeling confident, that ere they reach the end, they vill exclaim, this is the man by whom we wish to be govern ed in these " trying times." "It is not every well educated. brave, res pectable gentleman who is fitted tobe at the helui of Stae, during the approaching crisis; but there T one, to whom, above all others, who may be exempt fi-on public official res ponsibilimies, the eyes of the people are turned with a view to the Chief Magistracy of the State for the next two years; a stern. consis tent, active, experienced lUepublican. The Hon. WV B Seabrook, one wvho whatever his own viewvs may be as to the made and :neas':re of redress, will go heart, head and hand for anyi '-mode and measure" of redress that the people of South Carolina may determine upon; one who is ready to. counsel wisely with them izowa, as he has done hereioforc; amid to act proniptly nowans before. Mr. beabrook's history aiid ex perience peculiarly fit him for grappling with the ditliculties of'the timies; an unyielding liepubtican from the beginning, as far back s 1812. when a member of Priniceton College, (where he took high appointment,) lie had occasion to exhibit his native instinct of Re pub licanaism. The senior class haid long been ini the practice of declaininig in the Church once a month. On one occasion, a classmate of his. (a violent Federalist.) brought hsis thesis to him fum perusal. It was a bitter deniuncia'.ion of the aushors of the war, and especially of' John C. Calhoun. (then a young mami aiid Chiaizimana of thme Committee of Federal Relations in Wash ington.) Mr. Seabrook told hini that Dr. Smith (the President of the College) would not receive it, as he hadl repataedly informedi the class, that the subjects of religion and poli ties must never be touched. ie instantly re plied, that the President had not only read it, but bad expiressed his approbatir a of the pi in ciples it inculcated. Mr. S. upon hearing,-this, immediately destroyed the paper he had pre pared, and wrote anriher embodying the Re publican creed as far as he then understood it, and vindicating the War Partyr and especially the author of the War Bill. WYhen it was pre sented to the President, hethrewv it onthie floor, after reading about a page, and exclaimed with some asperity, "bow oflen have I told the class, that nothing of a political character should ever be spoken 1" " Have you not ac cepted (said Mr. S.) M r. T.'s speech ?" "Yes,' he replied, "blut unlike yours, it is triue in cv ery line.". M r. S. sheni said lie would positive. ly write no other unless thme rules prescribed were rightly observed ; whereupon, ordering Mr'S.obut of the room, the President said in peremptory terms, "if you do not speak, and on anothier subject too, I shall refuse to sign youirf~iploma."' Mr. S appeared on the stage, buton his name being called, refusedl to answer and did, not speak at-all; some of the students however had reason to think that Dr..S. was suqen iy astisfied be-had done Mr. S. nn ac:o tj;ice, for :on the presentation of the Dipta _ . Mr.,S. to the-President for his ig. nature, it was signed without -demur, and re tunedath aecompliment on Ihis good behavior in College. Or another occasion, about a weekaftesthe declarationtorwar, the collegians were-summioned to appear in the Church to hear tip ddresses, on-entering- the building, wasseen'on the platform, erected near the pul pit, tw't~imy, the grand childrent of Dr. Smith, clad its 1,ack, and with crape on their Acards and arms; shortily afteawardu one of them -com meneetl'a syeech; wi-itteni (as was admitted the day following) by the President himself, using highly- inflammatory languiage; it -attempted toshow that the war wasaunjustifiable in rela tion to..Great Britain; and brought aboist by Strtlern inen to ruin tNorthern interests;i a sp as i~he chaaet ofthe address was fully ascertained, at~the-anggestipn ef' Mr. IS., all whowreo mnhi Pese withilhim, (altho' the 'esdent wain in' thies, hpnediatlgiehiad,) ros ad-left the Chairch i-and inedshtely eve: rystudmt from the South followed-the, exam pret's-eeture-from the President at least, if noi but the.matter -was never brought up either by thiPresident or the Faculty.. ,.After his return from-college Mr.'S. itUdied law for two years, solely for the information which overy geitleman who tins it irihis power to obtain-it. ought to possess, and fully quali. led himself for admission to practice ;.but ha$ ing determined to follow the puisuit or Agri culture- he neglected making application there for.. A few months afler attaining the age of 21, he was elected a menmber of the Leaislature from St Johns Colleton, anler a very excited canvass.in which two Republicans and two Federalists were before the people. The late William Seabrook, deservedly a popular man, (thiena Federalist) and himself an opponent of his principles, were chosen. From that time (1814) he continued uninter ruptedly a membei- (with the exception of two years, when from ill health, lie withdrew from the public couticils.) until the dose of our Nul lification controversy; for the last eight years of this period, he was a metaber of the State Senate..and from ie time of the establishment of the Committees of Federal Relations and Agnelture, created in that body upon his mu tion, he continued their chairman down to the close ofhis Legislative services. The first Bill providing for a call of a Convention was drawn and reported by him as ehairman of the former committee. It was published in pamphlet form in coniexion with the speeches on the subject, (his own included) in 1830. His. re port on the right of the Federal Government to use force against a State. in replyan the part of our Senate to Jackson's celebrated Procla mation, will never be forgotten by those who take any interest in the history of that trying period. The first decisive movemefit in reference to the Tarifl, (beforeNullification was talked of in reference to that subject) was proposed by hiin at a public meeting of the citizens of St. Johns. Colleton, upon which occasion he recommended resistance in disregard of consequence. Since 1833 he has devoted himselfchiefly to the inter. eats of Agriculture in its broadest sense, the black population having always engaged his special attention. In 1825, he published a pamphlet entitled " a Concise view of the criti cal situation and future prospects ofthe Slave. holding States," and 1834, another on the management of Slaves Of the former a few copies were sent to Washington, the venerable N Macon of N. C. (then a member of the Sen ate,) in requesting (through Gan. -Mayne) a -half dozen copies of the Essay, complimented him highly on his public spirit and watchful. ness. In that pamphlet he invited public at tention to the insidious movements of the Col onization Society. Gen. layne. then a Sen ator in Congress,whose notice had never before been attracted io the subject, quickly perceived the danger that was rapidly approaching; and from a guarter too not liable to suspicion. In a short tnie by collecting all the papers which were procurable, concerninr the plans and designs of the Society, he wasin full possession of all the materials fordefence or attack; a few days only had elapsed, when on the presenta tion of a Petition fbr an appropriation by'Con gross in aid of the " laudable objects" of the Co lonization Society. Hayne astounded the Senate by his opposition (the first time fron any quar ter,) and the mass of evidence he furnished to shew the real design of its members was Eman eipation. No one attempted to reply to him 'The gelieme then received its death.blow; and Gen. Hayne was afterwards heard to say. that Isis s8 eech never would have been delivered, had fiot this pamphlet of Mr. Seabrook's op portunely made its appearance. Mr. S. is now about fifty years of age, in the vigor ofhiq intellect, of moderate though inde pendent fortune, tested already upon the most important political questions of the day, tried in the furnace of danger and temptation, taught in the school ofexperience. and through all the changes and chances of party, for thirty odd years, an undeviating Repubican, and an un shrinking advocate of Southern rights and op ponent of Southern wrongs. The people in their need will mnke use of such an instrumernt, moilded by nature and cIrcumstanuces for the high trust soon to b6 reposed in him." From Key West.-By the U. S. mail schr. B. F Sherwood, 'Capt. Azrwo-thy, we received the Key West Light of Reef of the 13th insr. The Apprehension of the Florida Negro Robber.-By the following article,from the I.ight ofthle Reef, it will be seen that the Flurida negro robber, of whom we pub lished a long letter, from a correspondent, Pensacola, a few days since, has been caught with seven negroes in his posses sion, and he is to be sent to Pensacola to be dealt with as his cetme deserves.

The wrhite man who had charge of the boat and negroes was induced, to come on hoard of sloop under a pomtse of being taken to Cape Florida; and on be ing interrogated gave his name as Jona than WValker, and he was employed by twvo men, the owners of the negroes to convey them te Cape Florida, for the pur pose of selecting land for their owners. Upon questioing the negroes they said the man in the boat was their owner. Their statement not agreeing with that of the white man, Capt Roberta w-as induced to detained them on board (or the pur pose of bringing them to Key West for examination, well knowing that a few hours liberty would placed them beyond the-reach of such examinatIon, for in a passage of twelve hours they could have reached Nassau, New Providence.
