France, the land of noble, getlerous Learts, is worthy of the esteem of the world. Her sons .have played a gallant part; and the history of eiviliz-ation would be incomplete if Fruice were blotted from its pages. When 'Lafayette and his brother warriors fought by the side of Wash ington, there was a universal sympathy felt for the cause of freedom throughout France; and whea her great revolution Caine, and there was an end to her hereditary monarchy and nobility, * sho sought to emulate America. The crimes that sullied that period were rather the fruits of tyrannf her Bourbon rulers, thana the natural instincts of the people; and shte proved oat a hundred fields of battle that she was willing to -atone by deeds of heroic datrinag, for the errors of the past. -Unde'r thf8'onatulate and the emipire of Napo. ion, france-w&ntihe admiration or every e~n tehud~ 'tinad.

Power corrupted Napoleon, and the Unholy ~Alanooehedked the progress of civilizationa: butt France,-.true tt humanaity and to herself', still lived on,'echerishing great thoughts and re isolving yet toa continlue the good work. The w-rorgs of the exile *obliterated the errors of the Emiperor and the memory oaf Napoleon be came endeared to Fratnce. With thaat memorv was allied a dretam of liberty, that the priests and bavyonets tar the Beaurbonis, anal the politi einns n'nd chatrlatatns of the Orlenasi alnd not disturb. The aeceptianee of Louis Napoleon by France was an intevitatble sequence tea the reign of the anarchists, wvhose personal vantity destroy-. ed the Republ'c of 1848. Louis Napoleon was chosen as the inheritor of hais uncle's greatness, and as the tavenger of his wvrungs. France is very pattient tand forbearing wi'.h haim. .She has tnot yet decided wheeher he'is the truie~or thec fialse heir. She tapplinads htim foar having revived the martial spirit of her sons, but she tememabersa that Naapaleon the Great led his warriors to vietory and retnained notaat homue a. revel in the vices of thie Court like hisi sue ~eesiar. She praises him for havitng extorted obesianee front the despotic and oligarchic gov ernments of Eturope, but she latmes himt for as sociating with gamblers and reprobates. .She watches closely his every aetion, atad if he prove false to his name and his countryv, and court an .alli~ance with tyrants, shc will arise in her might and hurl him forlh. France hats great faith in her future destinies, anid she will not be the victim of a nme. WVe recognaize her greatness even whtile Louis Napoleon riots in the Tuille rie~s atnd daw-like struts in borrowed plumage. We-appreciate her patriotismn and fortitude, and we look forward to the glad day when she will again stand int theo advance guard of Enrope, and the cry of Vire la France will once more thrill the souls of her sons. 'A MorsE.-We have in our midst a promdigy of wickedness. In company with the Rev. B. I. Ives of this city, we lately patid a visit to te cell of one of the most hardened villnins and reckleass murderers thte world ever knew. Johln Fiuzgera~ld wait arrested last Fall and brotnglit hetre on a charge of murder. He had killed his father and mother and a brother. Such a mur der the naonaals of crime can scarcely parallel. He did this in cold blood, and w ithiout any spe cial provocation. He came to the bed where his parents slept and killed them both with sit ax, after wvhich be went to a bed whtero his youngest brother was sleeping a.nd killed him. 'Of his actual guilt, thtere has not at any time been the slightest doubt, though he has not confessed tho crime. At the last term of the Snpreme Court he was round guilty, and sentenced to be hung on the 28th of this manth. There is not a particle of doubt he will be executed, unless hte happeis to m-ake way with hiuself before the lime arrives. When lie first came to the jail he manifesated somte signs of repentance; but it soon wvore ofl, and he is now by many degrees the most hardened culprit we ever saw. During theo time we were present in his cell he repeatedly ex-, pressed a wish to kill his reinaining brothaer;I he said he would willingly he hung, if he could only kill his brother and a few others who had! testified against him, lie 1s a murderer through nut, soul and body ; and. with a heart steeped in Laurder, he will probaably be ushered into the presence of his God.-Auburn Advocate, March 19.

I ADVERTISEMENTS. WE would call the attention of our readcrs to seve ral important advertisements mn this issue; especially that of B. C. BRTAN,and R. H. SU.LtVAtN. of ar vil- II le.m, W.

Devastating fires have swept our neighborhood with considerable damage. Several heavy freezes.have chilled the prospects of our thrifty gardeners and hor. ticulturalists, andi heavy rains have filled our water courses and rendered our roads almost impassible, but our hopes brighten with the prospect of Summer days on the entrance of April. LENGTHY CORRESPONDENCE. . IT is a matter of considerable regret, to ts, that we -are compelled, through necessity, to call upon those who write communications fr our paper, to ahridge their articles, and that considerably, as it is our pur pose not to shut tp our paper from the insertion of other matter, by filling our whole at eat % ith such con. tributions. And, above all, we most earnestly re quest that they will he written in a more legible hand, as they occupy -so much time in deciphering them. We are also compelled to say to t hose of our cnntributors who are wagitng a war of' quib-. th~rough our columns, thmat as their comnmunications are be ginninmg to assume a shape cnntrary to thmat fur whIch our paper was estahjihed, (I. e. to disserminate useful knowledge, withmout woundmng time feelings of our friends) we will bet constrained, when thmey descend to personalities, to reftuse thmeir punblication. We say this not through any hmarshm feelitngs to either party, but~for thme mutual benefit of all concerned. IN~ our iae presented our readers wusimh tim admirable pr on at length. To us it reads well --not from any personal bias we have towards our distinguished Senator, bat because time speech con forms, in a degree, to our standard of what such an efort, delivered for thme hearing of the greatest nationm on earth, shottld be. It comes adorneud with none of, the tinsel rhetoric that destroys the effect of most all American eloquence. The Senator speaks like anm I honest man, declaring thme firm convictionsi of a mind devoted to time good of his country. lie annmonntmes hisi views like a first minister of State, because It. is tn earnest-not like a schnolbmy spoutinig flowers and folly in thme attitude of a danicing master. We have observed this in thme later effor.ts of Judge BTRtm. He directs his arguments entirely of thme innumerable adjectives aridl epithets that so mutch mar the style and force of all our oratory. Thme man who is alway exaggerating is never credited. Thmere is no terror in tihe curses of tihe man who is an habitual blasphemer, but the strung are made to tremble at thme awaked wrath and imprecautiomns of tihe good tempered, unobtrusive Citizen. Thme Judge always means to say a good deal, and not by epithets, time commmonm tools ofI all vulgar orators, bumt by substantive sentenmces, ar d expressions often more suggestive than would first appear froim thme plain import .of the words. Some times, it is true, or In some sentences, we shoruld rather say, his meaning seems a little obscure from his exceeding anxiety to avoid adjectives, butt when I his ashota do take effect, and they seldom miss thmeir a aim, they hit to destroy. We are truly gratified, to see in thmis speech, that I wilst ouar Senator repels with manliness and Roman dignity the attacks of Mr. HIuLR upon time Southmernm caracter, lhe wholly ahstains' from every tiing like retailatory abuse. The victory I e gains is won by none of thme petty strategems of the bush fighlter, but by the skill and combinations, mf a commander capablea of plucking laurels on a great and glorious field. Govern or REEDER, even, is nmot able to extort from the speaker a remark unbecomnintg the highmeut 'epre-I sentative station in thme Unmionm. It is not true, that a great character may not crush time reptiles that would sting him, witaout becomimg contaminated by time venom wmth which they infect the air, and thmis is evirced by the late discussion to which we have hmad reference. We never before saw so clearly thme bject of tihe late Proclamation of thme Presidenmt, until we were made acquainted with it by time disclosure of Judge t BUTEra's speech. In is true, that whdmlt time A boli ionists were crying treasoni against the Border Ruffi an's, to direct attention from Sharp's Rifles, it was they, themselves, that were aiming time deadly stab,t and preparing to give the fatal blow.t But the Judge has given u' a noble vindication of I te character of hins friend, Mr. ATCutsoN-one thmat will descend to posterity-one that will be read by e the children of that matn.-a name worthy to be clas- -1 med with the heroes and Imaw-gives of Anmiqity. We e confess, that we are In love with the character dt'awn il of Mr. AvcmtsoN ; an d whilst he can claim on the ~ loor of the Senate, an advocate and defender, so able 1 and so disinterested as Judge BTrt, he has nothmmng i to fear from the assaults, detraction, and vituperation of all time Abolitionists, Freesoilers, and Black Repub- ~ licans in the United States." His fame is placed upon a poiud pedestal, that only tile wing of the eagle can sweep. Time South owes Mr. ArctsoN a debt of eternal y gratitude-the country owes it to hbm-aU good amen t owe it to him, whether his eilorts in Kansas succeed ti or faiL gg Tint Columbia Caronnimia of time 25th silt,. says, The prisoner, James McCombs, under sentence C of death for the murder of WV.

CO M N UN IC A TI ON S. For the Advertiser. THE SABBATH SCHOOL CAUSE. CoL. Szxxtss--Dear Sir: Believing you to be n 'riend to youth, an4 ever willing tonid in the promo ion of their interest, I presume upon your well tiown kindness, for a place in the columns of your >nper, for the purpose of calling the attention of the riends of religion, and especially of the Baptists of he Edgefield Assoc:ation, to the importance of the 5abbath School cause. I prefer doing this in the olumns of your paper, because it lias, I believe a reater circulation, within the bounds of the Associa ion, than any other, religious or political. I have )een pleased to see that the nttention of said As tocition has recently been called to this sulject hy er Moderator. I hope the eall will mct be in vain : ind that the motives there urged will lead to such -.onsiderations as will result in efficient action. The irst step in a good work is ennsiderati,, the second a Resolution, the third Action. We may coisider md resolve a thuiusand times, hmt wvithout actio'n it v ill'ava.il itothitng. I pups writing somnething in rgard to this subj.et, ini addlition to what my brother ta said, but touching points different fromt these ioticed by him. My motive is none other thtan the hope of doitg tood, a duly which wve are commanded not to forget. And coipseittus that neither variety nor ambitioin rompt gm pen, I shatll receive an ample rewnrd, md the-only one I aspire to, in the sweet conscious tes of having m-ade in effort fos tho promotiomn of a tible eause-a catuse-intimately botnnected with the erk'tiottf-jown'hinterest' but thit L f others-as I iead not my own cnuse, but thatt (of the noble youth four land. As I do not tmatrk out the road to realith atnd honour, but the road to kampittess and leaven ; I do insist that the Chitia~n reader will ot look at the captin, gnd thyn at the hiumble sig inture, andh throw it 'idly by as a theme unworthy heir attentioni. It is well worthy the proude.st ini elleet and most exalted tuletits that htave ever doited our world. Our miost pro'ound heiol. gianis ave ever regarded the early traitning of yoiuth cas in'objet of patramounit imtportance.

The leartned antd eloquent Paul, 93(1 years after, urged the Ephesian brethren to ring up) their chilren in "the nurture and nidamoni ion of the Lordh."

I could say that one of the P'resi ents of the Utnited States went fromi the lead of a labbath School to the Presidential chair. To sup oe there that the Sabbath School is not imtportat ai iidubitable piroof that wec are uniworithy of the fty them~ne, and itienpable of appreciating 'thie ighth of this great argument." 1. The imnportance of thea subject. W ise men ave said that the prospierity of the Chiurch,and the aubility of guoveritnents depend upon the momal -nining of youth. If this be true, then tile sabbatht rehoot cause is important and comtmends itself to le christian atnd the patriot. If it be true, as some iour' Judges have stated, thtg nine out ouf ten of ose tried for capital cofenees, commenced their areer of crime by a violaticon of the Sabbathi, thetn I Sabbath Schotol is important and comnmenidu self to the Philantthropist. But nmore thtan this. -it be true that the youth are inclined to follow the saple of those called great, and if it tbe trite that e example of most of our prominenit men, whether pon the bench, at the bar, in th~e state legislature, the halls of Contgress, or in other positions, are ih as not conly to1 corrupt their murals, but to de ide their souls to thiechambers of everlasting d e;ttht; nd if a high standard of morality is the ontly safe uard aga.inist stuch examp~lle, then the Sabbath choot eause is imaportatnt. If the minds of the young re capable of inideliiblo impressions, and if theuir iture course depends upon the ineiiation given ini outh, and if they, like the tender twvig, may receive s inclination at that agec, but not aftertward., then te Sabbath School cause is important. For we my make an impjression upon wocid, brass aind tarble, and the mouldering hand of time wvill soon ~ice it, but n .impressin nmade upon hte iunmor il mind will endure forever ! J it be true that iose vho pass the bright hours of youth in sinifut heasures, very rarely return to the Saviour ; andl it be true that to taste the pleasure of piety are eeseary to fortify us against the evils of the wotIld, dn the Sabbath School cause is imiportact. If hilden have a propensity for amusement upion the abbatht, and in bad company love to wander over ue fields, upon the creeks and in the highways, anid 'under these circumstances thety are liable to con ract habits corrupting to the morals andi ruinous to he soul. then thte eniuwe for wh'icha I p'end is imnpor-. mnt. If God told Eli that hec would "juge :his not "restraning Iis sons'when they made themselves s vile."-If God comnieided Abraham for "coin. manding his eliildrenl?.-if lie makes the parent the F uardian of their children and holds them nceounta ble for their early trinin, then the S. S. cause is important. jf pnrents are to go before their chil dren into eternity, and itthey are to leave them be hind in n' world of slim and if they enn leave them no safegnard ngainit error hnt. moral priniple,-if r early piety will fit theimi.for usnfulnis< for God and I for ieavei, then .hot'144 every father and every mother lend -it hlping nd to the Sabbath School cause. Who thenein e so'lost to his duty to the I youth, to Society to theChurch. to the eountry and to God, as tile withh d his ai froim a cause so noble-as this? llavbig Fhown its imiportance, I close this number, expecting next week to furnish another hturt artie!e onthe same subject. Very respectfully, B. F. CORLEY. For the 'Advertiser. TO THE CONDUCTORS OF THE ADVERTIBER. Sins: Every number of your paper for the last five or six weeks, has teemed with all sorts of commoica tions, over all sortkif signatures, designed unmnistaka bly to point libeloin'inuendoes and indirect thrusts at me persirnally, or as one of the Editors of the " Edge field Infcrmer." In accordance with my own convic tions of propriety and at the suggestion of judicious friends, I determined frrut the first, to preserve an unbroken silence toward the crew of anonymous tra ducers, who find a place in your Columns. But it seems that my reserve, only served to inflame their malignity, which could il) brook, the contempt implied by my refusal to notice, their puny effhrts at nit and vulgar personalities. This is especially true of one of your corresponding Editors, signing himself . Jonn oF THE PEoP.E," who has exhibited toward me, in all his productions, a pitiful meanness and an envenomed malice that excite my compassion. What I have said or done, to arouse so mightily the impotent rage of the writer in que-tion I am wholly at a loss to conjecture. But as it appears that he will expire in a fit of wrath, if I persist in refusing to answer his oft repeated and energetic request of " ClifTord why dont you spenk to me" I will for once and very briefly respond to him, the more so, as lie ha so foully aspersed my politicali conduct and principles in your issue of 19th of Marchl, that I am compelled in self defence to vindicate the ru th lest my continued silence, be construed into a plea of guilty. . The writer to w!jio refer as nell as the whole coterie of yoursecret Scriblers, have assumed , at I am one of the Editors of4he " Edgefield Informer," the new paper lately estah ed in this Village. Such is not the fact. I am not-have never been and never expect to be an Editor, either of the "Informer," or of any other News-paper, althie 'gh future cirenmstan ces may alter my present determin on in that regaid. Bnt gXhile I say this, I am free to remark that the " Informer" has my whole sympathy for its success, because of the hold osition, which its Editor has taker. in favor of giving the election of Presidential I Electors to the people and in behalf of the movement to divide the District, that our people may have more administrative facilities and ire power in the Senate. The Advertiser is either opposed to both these projects, or refuses to indicate any opinion whatever in regard to them and for this reason I shall not hesitate now, or hereafter lo.encourage the Informer with all tile little aid that I can give it. The Editor of the Infor mer is my private and political friend, and I shall re juice at any so cess, which lie may attain in life. It is amtsing to note how jealously, my connection, with News-papers in Edge.ield is suspected, or alleged. Previuus to the adlvent of the Informer, it was asser ted in various quarters, of this commnnity, that I hod more control over the Advcer1iser titan its titlented Edi tor, but since the appearance-cfr the New-coiner, it is now declared aginit and again, that I am the manger of thtat also. In thtus assigning me editorial duties atid crowdling the Advertiser with coveit attacks upton me, moy enemies are giving me a prnninience itt politics whlich I never claimed,.nor desired. "oNOF TitE lPsorLE" furtiher says, that I am atiemptinig, ' to dismurb, ini their newv made grave, the ashes of JotnN C, CaLIItoUN, th:~ uride and glory of struggting to the' last fur hsis cotnotry, diedl n iih Ihis wrharttess still reeking on his back." This is simn ply fulso andi thte athtor of the charge kmows it to he utifotunded, I defy htim and his clubhtf lradnieers, to show one single instance, wherein,. hlave iattemptted "to dis~nrh the ashes of 3lr Casr.ttouu," or " to de tract from his elustering inntrels."

B-eause Mr. P'Em~Y and I concur ii a common wish to reduce the powser of time Parishtes I and give epral Representation to every section of the State, ait I thterefore to lie egarded as concturing in all hin political doctrines against mnyexpress disavowvali I t the conitrary ? There are but two schools of politics in the United Il States and we never have haul but ivo, since thte ' adoptisin of the Constitintioin. The one believe in strengthening the Federal Givernmtent in every possi- I trengthen the State Governments. MasslarntettI as always lead, the Federal, Consolidation, or: Whig arty as it has been indifferently called, while. Virgi. is and Kentucky first took command of the State ights party but yielded it to South Carolina. who has een as ultra State rights for thirty years past as she ad previously been ultra conselidation in her views. 'lie leader of any party is generally in advance of it nd the reasonable presdiiiption is that South Caroli a holds as extreme doctrines of State rights on some" insas Massac-husetts does of consolidation. A me ritn is therefore perhaps the golden rule in this case, Ls it is said t) be in all others. At least a large ma irity of the States in this Union have always thought o. Iyield to no man inajust devotinntoStaterighits, mnd acknowledge the constitmional power of a State o ,ecede. I have never " ridiculed Secession and Nulification. as Criminal nbeirtions," except sn far as o declare it as my belief that they were both " Parish uarrels." I said on Sale Day in March, that frOm he struclure of oni State Government, which gives' le Parishes an excessively larger share of Represen tiotin, than ihoiy can claim upon any principle of jus ice, that the people of the State, (as nearly fourffths if them reside in the Di-tricts proper) were never Con ulted hi the enactment of laws, so as to reflect pub. lic opinion-that as a ronsequence every time an ap pe.: I had been taken from tie L-gislature to the people, lie latter invariably decided against the former. Does " JoHN OF THlE Pror'.E" deny this ? Does lie eleny that Edgefielc has as much w hite population asfifteen f the Parisho', or that our District has but one Sena Ler, while. those Parishes have fifteen Senators, which n the basis of ptopulation, gives one Parish voter as much political power as any tairly voters in Edgefield 1 Dies lie eleny lint E-lgefield has as many slaves as ight of tihe Parishes, or that our District has but one senator, while theise Paiishes have eight Senators, which on the basis Of Slaves gives one Parish voter as much power, as any sixteen voters in Edgeflield ? Does he deny that Edgefield pays an much in taxation m nine of the Parishes, which have each a Senator, r that she has as much land as eight senatoral Par. ishes? Does lie deny but thai Charleston has several Representatives in the lower House of the Legislature for taxes paid by the consumer in the int-rior 1 Does lie deny but that the lower country have many more tepresentatives than they ought on account of the iigher taxes which they pay upon their land ? Does ue deny but that the Parishes get representatioen for a ree school fund which they do nOt need and which aoes tI educate the rich of the low country I Does lie leny but that at least five Parishes have a Represen jaive in the popular branch of the Legislature solely upon the principle that each election Distrfct shall ave at least one Representative ? Or does lie deny but that the Districts get no representation for the large olice tax which they are forced to pay, while the Parishes pay little, qr no such tax aud therefore ought not to have any representation for it. If he do not leny these things arid lie shiould be careful to examine efre lie ventures to gainsay them lie must admit the irnth of my preoposition that our Legislature is not or Tanized so as to reflect public opinion and that there feore whenever an appeal is taken from the Legislature to the people, the latter have always decided against the fOriner. I had been taught, from my youth, to regard Major PERaRy as a Consolidationit-as a Whig-or, in other words, as inclining too much toward tihe Government at WashingtOn, and, remembering my early preju dice, I was camutious to inform him, ihiat " we were wide Apart, as two men could be, on federal politics." I even charged him with being a Whig in the debate on the Eigelfield Rail Road Bill. Tos whieb he re ried in these words: " I never was suspected Of Wiiggery by any one in my life, w. knew me, but from my youthm to this time, J have always beena re gardedl as a thorough Democrat anel a free tirde man."~ Having pernsed rmany of the discussions un Secession, Nullifiuation, and kindredl snhjects, in which Mlajor PERRaY participateid, lims not hesitate to express mny elief that lhe spoke the wahole truth in the words aove riuotede when he declared inmnself "a Demo crat and a free trade man." IHe has oftentimes stated that lie diff-red with Secessioenists and Nullifiers only in thie necessity iir expediency of the remedy which they proprosedl. Ir lie was wrong in opposing NdLli eaa.c cc: hens:e fot fifths ofjhe people ini all the otherh tatis4r 1the nin-teeig - '- -a~sJ asmiLLaii the wreing piositiuon against Sece-ss:ont a very 1arige mjeriiy even oaf So~uth Casrolilians en.cinciufed with him.

But fron a since.rc ceinviclion aef dutty lie never would have thrown himself feorwvard against those measures, ard yet coaiinne to reside in South Carolina, where there is so much hitter andl bliiicl pre-jidice aginst him, iin acc'outit of the hildness, ahility and success waith whaich. he has sut'tainede himself. I believe that lie lieves tiis native State as inteiisely as - JotaN oP vnti Ptxor,.e," or any one else, and that tie would shed the last drop of his looicd in tier defence foir a righeicns ranmse as quickly as any man within her orers. Neo one shouceld claiim a moneopeily of patriot win for himscelf or his party andl, therefore, it smarks miuchi ofplresompition for "JOHN~ OF TilE lEor.," or any oiler m.,n it Sicuth Carolina, to assert, that Maijr P'caar is "the otily son of hers, that never was ien frienmd in any'dreiadfiil exigency." Pre-jndice and noithiing bitt prejudice has caused the name of lsttnY to be 5'o fiercely assaileid ini the midldle anit ower Districts oif South Carolina. But thte day is at hand when justice will he done him. The pri. aie citizeni whie wants tie office, alwnys arnd on all mc~aeiotis goes fur the gooed of his ciinntry only. i~e nay lhe deceivedl fir a time by initeresied peliticians, mnt, ini the end, lie alone is ever ready to deal fairly ay public men. Our Stute is beginning to slide into er true picaii n-mnidway between the extreme of tate-Rights, en the onie hand, and consiilidatieon on he other. She will go into the National Democratic ovetion, and she will, ere long, give alma election f lectoirs to thme peoephe. The Parisoes see it--feel -know ie, and hence the desperation with which hey are appealing to " Conservatism" and popular r-juice agaist Majeir PEaRYa. I am not the oiily man iin the State who is ready to ive 31ij.,r Pvaav a qualified endorsement. There re tliese high in the confidence of South Carolina, who iare " perfectly williing to trust the honor of the itate ine his keeping."

Juadge BUTLER will also peihaps receive lecture from "JouN or TilE PEoPLE" for this timi d compliment to Mir. PERRY.

Demosthenes was a plender of oau.,es, and lie it was, that relumed the dying embers of Liberty in Athens, and roused his e.ountrymuen, to nwike a last effort against Phillip worthy of the better days oif Atheninn glory. Cicero cou!d plead the law of Clients as well .1s that of Rome. By lia eloquence vigilance and fidel'y, lie saved the city from con flagiation, preserved for a space the safety of the commonweahlt, expired amid Its decaying grandeur, and was crushed beneath, the noblest fabriek ever. reared to liberty a d indelpendence on earth. Whose voice rolled through the nation as a mngic spell to rouse our fathers to arms on the eve of the revolu tion, animated the despairing to hope and nerved the arm of the her-? to battle? It was the voice of a lawyer-it was the voice of the man who flingin. deianiee in the faee ofKing George, raised that war cry which reverberated through a whole continent, "GIVE ME LI.tDEtTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH j'-It was the voice of Patrick Henry, a name become as immortal as the country he redeemed by his eloquence. Whd wrote the I )cc!aration of Aner'can Independance; who really conceived tho, sublime principles of gov ernnent, which, in a singh, life time have produced, the pnrest, the most powerful, the most happy, and the niot warlike nation in the universe ?-It was Thomas Jefferson, a inwyer. Who a!most, made the constitution of the United States ? It was James Madison a lawyer. Who stoond by Washington firm alike in battle, ani in bivouac, anti guided his great counsels through the most perilous crisis of our in fant Republic? It was Alexander Hatniltona Law yer, Jackson, the patriot, the soldier and Statesman was a lawyer. Calhoun was a lawyer, and so was Clay, and Webster, and Otis and Lowndes. Nearly all our Presidents have been lawyers All our .lulew, of course, have been lawyers, and hatwyers have delivered to us such a system of fre; government a.s never before eomrn:nded the namiration of the worlil. In fine, the men of the legal profession have beeti the parents and conserva tives, of law and of liberty. and of government in all tinmes and among a!l people who have attracted the attention of mankind. Let us suppoise for a moment, that the whole corps of t.lges, as we!l of the several States, as of the United States, shou'd ce-ase to be. and that their offices, and functions s-oull be totally abolished. What a seenec of siot and disorder, would the coun try soon preaent. Lawlessness, crime and murder, would stalk ntebuked through the l.nd. All the licenitious, and malevolent passions of man's nature would gain the ascendaint peculation, unsustained last niidlnight masaere and high way robbery, would satiate themselves, on all that is enterprising, fair anda innocent, nd luvely anid beseoming an the most blessed portion of the gloube; andl the pure, the weak the he!itless, the inol~ensive, and the unresisting, would perish in' one common grave, by the rudle eennter of brutal violencee, and pheysical might. Any sane ntanitigtee, that the chief end of gov er eti ~r'it oit by the estabbshmient just:ee to litigants, by sa tt:ing the disputes of partaes, by pres.nting ad punishing misdlemenneoars and er-m', aind by defendineg the paeeble ngainst the wvorthlebs attat'ks of their overheatrineg, powerful, anal vindictve neighbors. To thtus carry an the admin istration aof justice, we are enlled upon to paty the largest porton aof otur taxes, courts are insatitutedl amnd aard:ined, and judges are electesi to preside thiere in. Why, the .Judiciatl tribunuals aof thte country is thea onily power, that enn interpo~se .against the ini vasioni aif our most snered cansitutional,nand politen anal so.'ial righnte, by rabid, reckless amnd sensel-s le'gislationt. They alone, tare the true expounidersa. and interpreters, law, andte the surest, antd mest steaidfast chaimpionis antd adefenlers of the great cha~r ter of our liberties. The .Judges in all age. have rorumead the last as well as firmnest and noebiest ramt pa: ts, behinud which the friendls aof civil liberty have ral:ied, to, make thier oralions, to their country, its indlepenmdence tad its most chserishted institutions. Theair psower is less imposing atnd terrific than that of the mtilitary, bitt it is aof infincitely more utility and~ it is absolutely iudispen~sable. to a free peopele. It is imtpostible then, either for a governtnent or ror nn orgatnizedl society to exist without .1 atlges, and it is equally impossible to uobtain comutpetent .Judgre from any eother profession than that of the law. Lawyers, thieref.are aire as necessary to the vell-being of a sate, as farmeers mnechaniies, merehants, soldiers. or any other elass of the people--nnd nione but fools or or knaves wosuldl be ililinag to dlispensae with them in a Iepuab!ie constituted like ours. But lawyers are a neces~ity from aour state of society, anal from the ernil;eting pursuits and occupations, and variatus tempers of men: assemtbled toigether itt one communi ty. We will imnteginie that all lawyers are banished the realm, or as many a mtiserly or disappsinte~d litigant would lhave it put toe death. Would theere fore, the passionis of tmen, be ebanged, and their evil propevnsities and adispoesitiaons be banished too or eradicated fromt the ina and heart ? Would dis putes, and strife, and contention al.-o cease among us ? Would our lanad becatme a paradise, w..nide the millennium therefore appear, aned woul.l maun there fre at once b.e perfected in the image ad likeness of lhis God ? Oh no ! We have vet to see even the approachinig shadow of milletnnial Glory : the devil still roars like a lion, and seeks in every corner of the castle foer Ii a tremtblmtg victims, the furies of Hell still rage in the hnttman breast, tad mian stamap edl with original sin, still strives for the overthrow ead destrution of his fellem en. In our preset State there, hough lawyers meighit, faor a wtheense ta plea l causes, yet eauses aof dtif'rence and conflict themselves would not cease among the pople Lawsuits of some kind wont!d still occur. And as all men are not equally wise and intelligentt, when contestants shoutld become inflamed with a desire to gain the mastery over their opponenab, or wrout up by the magnitude aef the' interest involved, they wuld be suse to catnsult withe somie man or mien found for ther learning, or for their bettee under standing of thse laws, thtan the rest of their fs Ilow. citiens. These mren in the course of'time, beconm ing more anal more dastinaguishe.d for their peculiar kinde of knowledge, and for their profound judg menat as to the event of suits, would receive so many visits fromo disputants and so miany applica tionee far their opinions, (for mna in difficulty' will resrt to the best souvoe of information they know) as to monoplize their wholhe, time, ail consequently comnpel themn to charge for their services, in order to gain a livintg. The censs of mnen, therefore. denominat ed lawyers, springs up, from the advanced state o' society and government in the world, and is one of the most useful andl imapartant elements of that state. le therefore who sails at it, is either ignorant of the ways of Providetnce or wickedly opposes the inevi tible laws anal aomiscient designs of [leaven. Lawyer and client were wvell etnown in ancient ltomn,atnd the distinction between them groso ned .increased with the advance of that natioen just as I have deserib d. At first the .elient was merely a frienm, or filower .2 theman.. verse.d in te ltvn. *A ftr. n a hile -ie became a kind of retainer, and then began to per. formpiftteular servics to him for the constant and iiefutadvice lie receivbd. until their relations assum ed pre.isely the same form they now bear between lawyer'andl elient in-this day-the lawyer giving to the-ient., the best ervice and instruction he could, bestow, and the claiment, in turn, making'the la-w yer, a -suffielent petmiary compensation, for his .diigepeg,Odelity. lab. r,-and loss of time. In concluding these remarks, it may be well to have ialusion to sone of' the objvaetions. most fre quently urgted against the legal prefessipn, n; by the virtuous and initelligent, I own, 6ut'by tl on infirmed-,-and by the shallo2 w hidd iimgvgies, who are continually prowling among the. people, Oike hungry wolves, to disorder the flack, andtus be enabled to consunmate their vile schemes of luw-minded ambition. It is said, that the oppor. taities and-iudueements offered twoawysmpfse4b'e' conitnission of fraus and falseh6odip rdf* ap- t. corrupt theiir mindsandl ten ptith't4i into tliese crimes. This is a fake assumption.. They have-' no such chances tand facilities. Every impottant4 case, that passes through the handi oF a lawyer, is - recorded'in the 'offiees of co't ad 14here is the' hook forever ready to convict him of corruption ore to acquit him of rusure and blame. Besides, he is confronted in court by'the Judge, and by anolher' lawyer equally h-arned anid expert with himself,. whoise duty it is to detect all his falsehoods, anda expose all his knavery. The idea that lawyers' have a private agreement and' coliunion with each other is simply absurd. Murder -Will 'out; and so .will secret rascality, and as the'ja'go himself was. oice a lawyer, I am sure he would have discern-. ment enough to perceive the tricks obis trade, and boldness enough, in the discharge .f his duty, to. expose and punish them. The truth is almnost any other occupation afords a wider field for cheating and speculation than that of the practice of the law.. The merchant's especially, if he isa dishoeift man, inv:tes him to any kind of. thievery. for he can. charge his customers with any amouls be flesses,. and collect them by the evidence furnished in' his. own books, and-in his 41e oath. Still the Lawyer is made the seapegoat of 'the sins of all the pro fessions. lie generalty" works harder for less thanks, and dies poorer than the man of any other respectable calling. A rich lawyer is almost a euri, osity in America, and if the Attorney, is so avarici ous as to grasp from hiselienti what is not his due, he nust then be so liberal, on the otherhand, aa to give it away to objects of charity (frjit would not comp'ort with his sagacity to idly. spend-it);, but the two prinpiplies of human natureare inconsistant, and irreconcilnble, and the.man of briefs stands adquited of roguislness, as he may feel acquitted in regard to most all the charges as. bounteously heapd upon himl. But farmers! farmers !-Dfictors! dnev:l, and all shouid be elected to the Legislature-not the lawyers, the uptart eandidate for office, and this is the enchantoas wand by which an enlightened chasa of the cummunity is rendered obnoxious and odious to the people, and cheated of positions, which it would be an honor and a benefit to the peopte them., selves, for them to confer. *lt is truly sayils Oy liule for the rest of the Legislature,. to conteh $ lawyers can shape the acts of the Asembl * own benefit without exposure. Surely th ,k. centrated duaas enough amonig :the ohtem. bers to see a fact which would be so. apipat-se perfectly manifest on the Stature Book, if the al,. ready detested and condemned lawyers weie, only once, detected in subserving their own ends, I pledge my life, that they would :Deve6 again have the honor of representing their out-rage d constitu ency. if they even had selfish objects to accom plish and int'erlas to advatfeeeiieomnpitable with the interests of thosethey.repg~ted, they would be. deterred from folhfng ther own inclineions, and eterna'! wrath of .their co'nstituents, which ,they - would most eertainly, encounter. It is-easy to talk, but I defy any nauetopoint-o a sinigle instance, whore the lawyers of th evis latrce; ats a body separate fronm thk oth~r 'miembers ever bet'-ayed' their-ttusfs 6o frn h to 'par -ne simuple tact to be passed exclusively for their own ad vantage. They hatve had no- in'eilnion to du so. The truth is, we have only one great intereit, ira common, to advance and uphold in.Sputh Carolina, and that is the farminig interest. South Carolina is peculiarly an agricultural State, with no othetr per snait to contieit with the main calling 'of the people, Nearly every lawyer too, who has. been able to make a little money, has inivested it in a smnall farm, wbich constitutes his so.le wealth, and his only hopo for the support of his, deelitiing age, when his iind and body shia~l be weakened and exhausted by the cop ten'ions and turmoils of the forum. - iene. hi's very selfishzness would prompt him in his'-Legisha tion, to guard the interewsts with which his own are inseparable, and to doi no act to compromise tlje farmner, because it would ineritably compromis# himse'lf. I shall say nothing of the qualifeloo of the lawyer for office-nothing - of his energies and abilities, f..r they are admitted-nothing of his in, diustry and vast attainments, for -they too are ugl mitted-nothing of his -habitual watchulg, and readiness in business, ror'they,.arise front his daly occupation, and are.also, admitted-, and nothaing of the necessity -for a 1aw-miakerfs knowing the $pw, and making the study of' its' prin ciples anid practical operation, the chief'etapldy mient of his life. But, in the end of this chapter, I will dec are to miy Fellow-Citizens and Farmers, thatz I would never be induced, either by may pre judice, or by the slanders and lies of the baeious anud umbitious, to refuse my suffrage to lawyers he each : but in my selection of men for office, withtout regard to their occupations, I should look solely for these qual.fneations-wisdom and Iesantng, azqd honor, virtue and truth.
