The con duct of the Chair will. I trust, be found io be courteous and respectful, and at t e same time fiam and impartial. We have met, Gentlemen, tinder very pecu liar circumstances, for which we have reason to congratulate ourselves. arid thi.se whot we represent. While the Legislative bodies of the other States of the Union, and of the Gen eral Government. are agitated. distracted and etnbarrassed by party dissensions,,,we are pre pared to act on all questions of State and Fede ral policy with unparalleled unanimity. That this state of things may long continue must be the ardent desire of every patriot. That no neasure calculated to interrupt or disturb the harmony that at present so. happily prevails throughout the State, will originate in this body, is, we may trust, certain. In condneing your deliberations, aiid iti giving expression to the will of the Legislature. you will have the-zealous, and ats fit a's I ani ca pable, the efficient co-operation of the Chair. With this assurance. Gentleineu. you have my grateful acknowledgments for the honor cou ferred on me. The Speaker of the House. on being con. ducted to the Chair, addressed the Houso as follows: Gentlemen of ihes House o Representatwcs: ,Before eriterihng on the duottes of the ofiice to nhicht your kindness has culled rme, permit me to return you my thanks for this grattfyingevi dence of your continu,-d confidence. Utider any circu'msisr'ces, I shoutld be deeply sensible of the honor of presiding over the deliberations of an Assembly like this: Under present cir cumstances, 1 receive that honor with peculiai gratification. I know not how it may he with others, bit for myself I can truly say. that echcl recurring call to this responsible station bitt serves to eni hance mty sense of the favor bestowved upon me. aitd the high obligatiots under which I rest to discharge its duties with justice firmtn'ess. and impartiality. As I learn to know those du. ties. I learn to feel their resp~onsibility. and my entire dependence "a your co ope-ration ann indulgence fur their successful performance And T know I ask no more than 1 shalfreceive, wvhen I ask you to excuse me when I err, and to sustain mte when I am right. Permit me, Gentlemen, to tender you this expression of my earnest hope, and whilst your deliberations may be conducted in harmony. may they all resultini advancing the prosperny, preserving the rights, and defending the liber ties of a just and confiding' people, who de serve all that the most faithful Representatives can bring to their set vice.. Message of .the Gorernor.-We lay before our readers to-day, the Message of Governor Hammond. It is a carefully written -paper, and' contains much matter for the serious con 'ideration of our readers. ..Many of the sag gestions and recommendations are. important. and if carried, t. doubtless, some of them wvould conduc to'well-being and the pros petity of our State Thib tyipics.'of wrhich 'uh Mlessage treats. are a statement of the. .income: and expenditdrer of the'State for the past year. the debt of the State, the' Bank of'the State, the Militia system, the State Arsenals, the Free Schools, recommendations 'abo~ut Megisatrates, Notary Public. and amendments of certain laws now obscure, &c. Lastly, his Excellency touches in a very straight forward and earnest manner. npoh our Federal relations. We have no doubt our Legislature wvill eive the greatest and most careful consideration to the subjects of which the Mlessage treats, especially thme last They must bring to the task cool heads, stbt hearts, and an unabletnchting firmitess i n thedis charge of duty, leaving the consequences to God. Fromi the character of the present Leg islatutre, wve thtiuik that no rash or ill-timed ac tion will be taken on the subject of the Tariff,. The recomnmendation of the Governior with regard to the Bank of the State, isol thegreat. . . moment. nr readers are aware, that this institution has been assailed in the boldest man neri-nd very serious charges 'ave.somwetime since, beptprefered against it it id vell% fr our L9gislatnre to give maitera soite ful. investigation. Ve trust,_ltowever ta, nothing will.be done rashljorhita sf, else the interests of theStite would be greatly endan gered. By unwise and precipitate legislation in the matter, not only Soufth Carolina bat the property of all her citizens might' be jdoparded, and desolation mighi folloiv where ther-is now comparative prosperity. .The remarks of his Excellency, with, regard. to the general educa 'jion of our citizens. are of lasting importance. It is certainly much to be desired, that in a -country like ours. where the people are free, and themselves dictate their 'own laws, the great mass if not all, should he well informed. Liberty and security ran never long exist among it- petpl,-, where general ignorance pre. vails. The citizens will soon be --degraded from tne rank of a people to that ora populace." We trust that our Legislature will again and again consider the subject of the common or Free Schools, and never pause till they have brought the system to Aomething like perfec tion. We might onlar-ae upon this subject, but we believe that the few hints which we have thrown out, are sufficient. Before we close we will notice one other topic in the Mes. sage. His Excellency speaks of the ignorance of the common Magistrates.and their irregular distribution in - the Districts for which they are commissioned Among other things, he recommends that It "M1anual should be eam piled and published, by the authority of the State. explaining in a clear manner, the powers ann dtiies of Magistrates. and prescribing the .',ropver fiurmns of.proceedings in their Courts." with a codifiriiion of the conrman and statute laws, and reported decisions. Something like this we are confident must be of grert utility to these important publir officers, as well as to the people at large. and we hope that this sug gestion will be uttended to. We are aware. that there are difficulties in the way. but we believe t lint something beneficial could be done. We will not prolong these imperfect.remarks. but will conclude. redommending the Message to the careftl perusal of our readers. Large Turnips.-7-On Mlonday last we were presented by Mr. John W. Munday, of tnis District, with thice large. fine Turnips, avera ging near four poun'ds caci. From the speci udn before us we think our farmers would do well to plant more largely of.Turnips, as they are good food for both 'man and beast. 'We rather guess they are hard to beiat this season, in this District Presidential Election.-On 'iis day the Elec toral College votes for President and Vice President of theUnited States. Good yied of Corn,for theSoitth.-AWe learn from the.proceedings of the Wateree Agricail. ural Society, which held i's fourth annuil meeting on the 21st uIt., that Col James Ches nutt, Sen. had gathered, from an acre of swamp land. 66 -ushels 194 quarts of Corn-andfuom an acre of upland. Capt. J. Boyktn,.gathered 45 bushels and 34 pecks. We say to our far. mers generally, try to do likewise. (Correspondcnce of Advertiser.] COLVUBiA, Nov. 2j9th, 1844. )DEAR SIa: You have doubtless.rceeived the Governor's Message. It is one of the ablest, ifnot the very ablest Message which 'has ever onanated from the Executive office of South Carolina. Many new, practical, and highly useful changes of the laws are recommended, anid it is greatly to bie desired that thmey should i'll be acted upon at an early period-if not at the piesent. at least at the next sessiuon of the Legislature. Biut there is o'ne featurre of this able document. which can not meet the appro. bation of the people or Legislatute of' Sputh Carolina. I mean the indirect recommendation of immuediate State actiotn ngaiinst 'the Tariff. Good faith requires ,thtat we should await th'e action or the new Administration, and the tri nmphiant Demnecratic Republican Party. If the Starte is to seperate her-self by ime~tediate action from the party what f'olly to have ap i-roved in jirimnary meetings, of time Baltimore nonminations,'and what 'folly to east the vote of South Carolin-i for. Polk and Dallas! The S'enate :have unanimously adopted a set of resolntions, introduced by Mr. Pickeni's, dissenting fromr the Message. ~The subject is at preset tunder discussion. (& past 1 o'clock, P. M.,) in the Hptuse of Reptesentatives, in (:ommittee of the 'Whole; Mr. Pinckney in te Chair. '4 Mr. Fair's, Mr-. Sims', Mr. Meni ininiger's-'and, the Resulittioins of the Senate are before the Committee The Committee wvill pibably recommend thie~latter to the.House. Mr. Aiken of Charleston, Col Aliston of Georgetown, Genl. Bumihanan of Fairfield, and Mr. Seabrook o' Edisto, are candidates fur Governor They all have thte'r active friends. Mr. Aikea wvill probably be the next Governor. - - EDGEFIELD. Corrsponden~ce of the charlestonr Courier. SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISL.ATURE. CoLUraBA. .Nov'26, 1844. This inig, ts 12 "'clock, G~ov. Hulm moudsetn his- message to both Houses. After it was read in the Senate, whsere it weas listened, to with great attention, Mr. Pretfirrffodithearliest occasion offered,, 'on theliiotit tinrni it, dke some' re uuarks oiusitior which evidently sliek' the good setise o(the Senate as mest op pori une and appropr~iate Col.

While - r. Pickens paid a deserved tribute to the ability of the message, and to Gov. Ham mond's known patriotism. lie was very earnest in the expression of his opinions that any thing having a tendency at this time to State action was uncalled for, be cause inhis judgment, all our wrongs would be redressed by that party with which we had lately acted. in elevating Mr. Polk. as the free trade candidate to the Presidency; and if we failed in this hope, that we would stand justified be fore the country, for our wisdom, forbear ance andtnoderation; and that if in the last sad resort the State should be -com pelled to vindicale her rights. which, said Mr. Pickens, may God in his mercy avert, then we woild stand right before the world and posterity. After Col. Pickens bad sat down, Col. McWillie rose and expressed. the most cor dial approbatinn of the sentimetis of the Resolutions, and his satisfaction that they had been so opportunely introduced, as to preventi the unfavorable impression that might be drawn from the supposition that the sentiments of the Governor were those of the Sttte. Col. McWillie expressed the hope that the Rosolutions would re ceive the unanimous approval of ihe Se nate. Here are the Resolutions which were ordered to be printed-, and made the order of the day lir Thursday along with the mesage: I. Resolved. That the State of South Carolitia takes the deepest interest in the annexation of Texas to thts Federal Union, because we believe it essential to preserve the peace and permanet independence of the Confederacy, and that it must result in'advancing tIe ultimate prosperity of the whole cour.Iry. 2. Resolved. That the collateral issues which have arisen in the progress of the Texnn negotiation by the ohlicial commu nication of L rd Aberdeen to the Federal Goivernment, dated the 26th November, 1843. in which he announces that "Great Britain desires, and is constantly exerting herself to ptocure the general abolition of slavery throughout the world." are of such a nature as to make the annexation of Texas a 'vital aid paramount question at present to the people of South Carolina. 3. Resolved, That we look with confi dence to.the recent election of a Republi can President and Vice President, as giv ing us a certain guaranty that all the Con stitutional powers of the Government will be exjerted to procure the immediate an nexatioti of that Republic. 4. Resolved. Further, that the tariff of 1842 is unjttsi, oppressive, and against the whole spirit of the Constitution, and that the recent triumph of the Democratic Re publican party has taken place under such circumstances as to give us an unequivo cal pledge that it is to be reduced to a reve. nue stnudnrd, and -h1tn--irmormt.- nD-eco nomical governtet, upon the general principles of the compromise act of 1833. 5. Resolved, That if we should he dis appointed in our jus.t expectations, we do .not in the slightest d-gree, by waiting events at present. waive the reserved rights of the State in her sovereign calpa city to protect her.eitizens in any future emergency that may -rise. As far ai I could judge. I am confident t.hat these rebolutioas met the general ap probation of the Seirators, and wvill receive an almost utnauimous vote of the Senate.
