THE BANK OF THE STATE. We have said that no injurioue results would fillow the entire cessation of the Re. conimmodtions afforded to the community by this Bank; that its facilities would not he mised by its good customers, ad that there is no sort of propriety in keeping it up for the convenience or bad ones. Indeed, it is the highest interest of the community, ihnt nn ittlividual should obtain tunder credit. fir hi' iseses, whatever they are, have ultitately to be divided among them. If they fall upon a State Bank, they are divided at once, without further process. among all the tax- payers. Hut there i4 another view of the- accomnidafinu of a State Bank like onre,-which places in a clear light the inexpediency and gross in justice of such institutionti. We believe that South Carolina has never received a donation or itierited a leancy. Even eacheated property rarely reaches tho treastiry. All her public fNnd have been collecird by ta.ration frum the people. As all property is taxed, nind all ritizetis have to psy etia! in proportion to their property, a very large qun:a of the money raised by taxes is paid by what may lie called tho poorer elassa--not pAn per. of course-but by meni i very mode rule ciretnstances. Fotr-fifths, perhale five-sixth' of the tax payers pay under five diallars each. Yet in the aggregate their cntribtionq amount to a large part ,if the revenue. The siirplus, accumaulated trom these resources. has been put into the Bank of the Sinte to lend tit. And who horrows it? The ponrer mei? Certainly tint. It is a very rare thing for men pay ing onily Ove dollars in taxes, to venture w ithin the doors of a :ink. They do not thi'ik that Bank; are created for themn. Direciors are liound tpo lend to those well able to lat ani. thise known to be poor, are' tint ihe cusinmners they enenurage. Probably no onn in a tlousand of ihoe whoi rite.Bank has accommodated, have been pertinns paying less than five dollars taxes. Yet these persons cntinitute eight htuidred in every thotusandl of the tix pay. erg. and are otherwiis the hoie anti riuscle M~ii &,Fat "Ia~ r Ziin of its finds comes from poorer classeq. B% its nperaion. then the poor are mole to lend to Ike ick. Coniribuitions are l-vied fromt thu poor, and by virttue of aSae l3.tnk they are dhisposed oif to accon~rmoae the rich.

We- eon.oidler the %% hoei) of the reasoning iit only falIcious, hbit if the proposed neasuore were c;.rried out in practice, it wotuld play precisely into the hands of the aholitionists by confinitng the slave to the soil. and producing the necestily for cneoncipatio)n, when is shall bse exhausted. Thiat confaing the slave to the soil, by proihititing. on the part of the federal gov. ernment, the removal of slaves from state to state is -a part of a plan set on foot by the Abolitionists. for the purpose of over throwing the institution of slavery in the States," was assertied- id assersed truly by the celebrated .4ttherton Resolutions, of which we all heard so much during the last Presidential canvass. Every South ern man. not even excepting the support era of Milliard Fillmore, that ardent friend of Southern institutions, was hot as pepper at the idea of the federal government at tempting to prohibit the removal of slaves frot state to state, and s hot did the pub. lic indignation wax upoi this subjeet. that the darlita Vice Pre.idlent of the Southern Whits enme very near being wrecked in their aoffeciin. by the vote lie eave on the Atherian resoluiatis in favor of the power of the anvernrient tn prohibit such remo vn. Nothing could save hn but nit open retraziU of that opinioi, fAounded upon a deci-ion of Justice McLean. Now. whilst we grant that there is a wide distinetion in point of theory between the exercise of an ulawful towser by fite federal govern. nert. and thbat of a Iaw% ful fine by the state governmente. vet fur the lire fif us, we can iot see whyv. ii the proohib.ition oaf the re. moval (if slves from ote state to nuother is calculated to overthrow the institution of slavery within tse statee, that result shond tint as i eli happen under the exer. cise of the power by the one government a;s the other. If the Southern states merely meant that they would not submit to hav ing their t'hronts cut by the fanatics, in. tending it performn that d-dightrul operation themselves, then ve have nothing to say why they should not go right at it, as re coitmentled. We wish it explicitly understood that we have nothing to say in defence of the norality of the slve t Rade. properly speak ing. We do not desire top tike oft the brand put upotn it by our legislatre. But we think it would be very unwise tocheck. in the least. the emigra1ion of peridms with their slaves frOmi state ti state for the ptr poses of settlement, or the inirnoduction of slaves frotn other states for the use of the purchaser. There is a false ien aitroad in the con munity that prohibitory laws againsti the further introduciiotn of :his kinold Ofr-tperly in the state. would make that which ne have alrendy in ths stase mo01e valuable.

You wonnid cosnfine the slaeve toi the snil, which hoe will wear out, and reach the very end you are endeavor. ing ton avoid.! Woe w ere very much pleased with the first part of an edlitorial of the Augusta Constietiontaist. of thu 9th ult., n this subject. The edlitor plhaced it upon its true grosundos. Lanbtor is as tnuch an article of commserce a.: everythting else. Is is bought antd sold. We were, therefore.. gratified to see him place it upotn the groundl of "free trade." WVe regret that in a subse qutent part of the arsi:le he saw sufficient reasonut to:ake it fromn this basis. He thinks the adoiptiono of nio-impotrsati-tm laws ex tended even to "purposes of settlemnent"i wonld force the border states to seek an outlet in California and New Mexico. If tis argumentt dotes neot look to mere tem porary restrictions, it defeats itself. If she policy remains permanent among the present slave holding states, we have closed a large market to open a smaller. When that becomnes supplied, and the soil exhausied, as it must bte. inevitably, by the slave labor. wve must emancipate or send it off to countries, out of the Uniion, where 1it tray be wanted. But has our ftientd of the Constituttionalhist examined the process by which this kind -of labor is to he tran. erred to New Mexico and Califortnia? Does it not occur to !him that it enast pass through the states wthere the restricsions are to he enforced against either sale or settlemet, and that it will he undler the necessity of makinte a continuous journey by land, saty froim Virginia tn California. of five thousand miles? WVill a single family, with 'its servanats, leave Virginta. under these circumstanees. Certaitnly not. Yosn must allsow it to cull by the ways andl mnlest it as little as posuible, if you wish it to perfortt this jounrney.-..These territories are, in fact, to he cultivated by slave lahor, if ever. fromi te nearest state. and these ina turn to) he supplied froim triose further North.

Anorrure ? Nzw, Tunz.-Every one recolleets .tha unsparing abuse lavished upon. every thing Atmerican, until lately, by the London Timeis, which now adopts the following tune: "For our own part, we helieve that both in polities and in law, there is a mueh less interval hetween the Union and the mother country than is generally ustamed. It' was the rule of the first President so give' up no more than the necessisies of aa independent ansd repubtlicani organisation required. To this wise absinenee from gratuitous ininovation may be aserihed a utability which has surprised the whole world, and which promises to last for ages still'to come. Even in the midst af ro, volution and civil war when it was us cessaryto cut .the natural ties between the minther state anti the colotty, with the strotngest mean( and the most strenota determination, even then were found men, and they the leaders of the movement, who could warn the itnfant nation to stand in thbe old p'aths, and who could proclaitm the orae..jlar.
