A Card.
I am induced to address ilia voters o
the Fourth Uolimetwionnl District,thyoligl
the columns of the " South Carolinian ,'
because it is a p.tj>cr having and extensive
circulation in my district, iiud because u
the shonness of the time that wiil elajisi
before the election to 4iiju.lv the vacancy
grea'.ed by my rc.-ignniio i, which I bav.
observed is on tlje ystli ilist.
When I accepted, fellow citizens, tin
coii(ii)i<sjon to ret resent volt, I felt tha
you pad con.mined your honor to in;
care, together witli your interests. Upoi
ilie instant of my first election, therespon
nihilities of uiv now position weighed heuv
ily upon me. 1 foui d reliof, however, ii
the reflection that, although a bei.piiceti

his erentujes, yet tluit ho had constitute*
every man of cmnipoi) sense with powe
to be ju?t, hivai and true; and I silcntb
vow<vl that, thou.'h nature should drtn
ipe the privi'tge of adding even an hum
ble intellectual flower to the chnplet t>
South Carolina, I would be a sentinel t<
her liv/tior and guard the glories, will
which better .and abler men had graccc
her brow.
On the lOih and 20;h of May last past
a Senator frotn the Coirptuiiwealth o
Massachusetts falsified her history and tie
famed her character. 1 rente-inhered m\

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
It is curious to note some of the means that
are resorted to in our country tor political
elTtct; c: eh party trying to enhance the
'claims of its favorite for the Presidency, nnd
to detract from the liicpts of the parly opposed
to I hem. The Democrats stand alone 1
pi the foulest; they arc combined with 110 I
J other creed, npd their chances of success j
rests upon their own strength ojid merit.?
Itut we ilo not believe that the eagle R)ay be
j said with regard to other pirties. it it fob I
ly to suppose that cither Fkkmont or Fiu.j
tioRE can be elected by the people; we do
j not believe Hie leading friends of either enter.
tain the most remote idea that they will be.
That there is a combination between the
J Iltaek Republicans and Fillnr.i.rites, to defeat
_ i llr. ligcfi anas, scarcely adgiits of a doubt;
' not that there is a chance for cither of these ]
! parties to elect their favorite, but their ob
5. | jeet is to throw the ejection into the House
j of Representatives. Tliev introduce two j
d j tickets?one for the abolitionist* of the
e ; North, Itpd the other for tiie slave-holders at j
tjie South ; the leaders of cither partj being j
~ of the same mind, and kept thoroughly post- j
" ; ed in e. eli others arrangements. Frrmont ,

lege (JllcM'.Utl Sectll* t*? l?u engaging sotli
attention nt Oii* lime, I will gi*o yot
through the Iji-iiffi r, a ay impels of the di
hale that occurred in tiiu i'ieas.ait lli
Debating ( tub in llint tjiirry. Consider:
ble interest was niami'cstod on both *i<le* <
the question, tint as all the debaters Mel
not present on the occasion, I will morel
mention, that ;.ft? r several short speech*
were made, the question \\.is put to th
Huvff for division on its tu rit?, wlicp n
most n uiuitiimoiiB vote was given, opposin
the M present system," ami in fa*or of di<
continuing the present annual appropriate
to the College, under existing circumstance
1 will endeavor to give you some of the a
gununls addueed in furor of disconnects
Statu ami Colli go aid. It would be un n
duous task to undertake to follow tin: stum-i
ing discourse, in n!l of its hearings and rel
lions, ?w delineated by one of the membe
of the Society. llis remarks were full i
good sense, and marked with cousidernh
ability. Mr. A. Andrew* is a deep tliuike
und takes pleasure in giving informatio
when in his power to do so. It was claimc
that if the vast amount of matter paid out i
t'iu College since its infancy, had been npplh
to ti e establishing of good schools in tl
Slate generally, that every District mig
h Ve had flourishing, arid even high classic
schools; and nt the same time, justice \i
cqnittly would lode been established upon
firmer basis. Hut a* it is, it is ?M\{y the w ei.|ll
classes who cat) attend such extravagant I
Mlituliuim, nii'l plafc* ?( K-i^niHg, ma the
('. Culh-g>-> ?"d the < ?) hi which it > loci
oil,?.nd consequently they uro the only ?hn
era el' llio Mule dimulut* la llut (College.it
wo* contended that llio (naiituli"it hi
{oat nyht of the oldevt it had, or ehould hiv
in \iew, vlx: to tend id nested young int
fur nod vrWc, otcr tl'e tState, to disscinina
! I ho seeds of I-item lure and knowledge, ai
inatill the toutliful mind with their fruit
and that this neglect wit founded upon ll
univurxpl truth, that the young men grad
ntiag there were wealthy, and would n
undertake th<* performance of the srduoi
dutieauf a teacher, unless necessitated ujh
tho grounds of temporal elrciimstanrca.Again
it was contended that those gradui
ing at tho Kooth Carolina College, had ?
rioua advantages over rthvr students, wh
on account of the wrapt of moans, t'ere co
fctriihcd tb stch n IcM ckpcftdve place of
. learning, to ?omptUU? thvir education, and
that the Stato ?n* always ready |o ronteV
ho tiers ainl distinction those, while these ?
wcro compelled to depend on their own
~ character and exclusive merits, to gain conquests
pf fume, and renown in the State;
f apd that the College sustained a high posi- ^
tion in, and was connected with the politics
of its lending votaries, from the fact that a
graduate in its walls had a decided advantage
over nn opponent f ?r oflicc, who was not a
y graduate ol the same Institution, and consed
qucully tiie whole sway of the argument
it against the "present system" seemed to thunit
der against tlu- entire process of the official
c piocecdings, exen from the election of ofli- T1
i: eors to their several ranks or stations; the
i- manner in which it was done, the pjan of
d receiving and paying out the appropriated
le funds, 4tr. Anil again, it was claimed Mint
a? the Faculty of no other College in the Uit- ^
d id States received as high salaries, and that
d tho spirit of electioneering was diffused in (l)
ic all the official proceedings, from year to year. a
0 The salaries, w hich I might state, stand thus, p
I'rekiili'iit, (3^00, nnd ui'li of the I'rolcs- ,|,
sors, ?g,6t)0, while snug sums were paid m
1 lower officers in rank. The impiiry was w
' frequently made, ' WJiy could not the South g
j C/.rolina ('ulli ga sustain itself, as well as '
I j other prospering Colleges in tlio Statu! It lr
I Was admitted that the Slate might have
Lli been correct in aiding to defray expenses,
,r j until the College had acquired a name and
character; and then it should have been
made to live,and even prosper upon its own
rp annual income, and consequently,it*Coiisliti
| Union and Litis should have been made to
il correspond, and then its liovcrmiH-iil being M
based upon such republican principles, it
? wmild have. m> doiiot, ffo.uished as xxell, it ^
not better, than it lias xxilli the extensive
(Utile aid il lias enjoyed. . w
Next, in order, the justice, or injustice of ei
t(ie several appropriations to advauee vilucu vi
tion in the State, was considered. 'J he gieat
4 contrast in the sum supposed to he reecivd
ed by cai.li poor scholar in iho State, and '''
is the enormous amount applied to the use ? f '

mmuuiv vmwvi uvritt'H none, ami mill llicy j
n wcic directly iui|M**cd oil. Again, that l' cj |
" (tin1 middle rlaucn) paid the greatest hulk j i>

'' J I lie shape of r duration. Although I lie door J l'
? of lite (.' Hege i* I III own n|H n to nil cluv?cs, i I"

1 bar the j nor and middle ? ! ? from n par- |

' was contended lli.il the f-iKf and middle *'
