After an absence of nearly ID j months at Washington, with a recent ex- I cursion among a portion of my friends and constituents, I am but for a few days i at hoiqe, where I liud a large proportion ; of niv liehls swept l?v a freshet, and my J private interests greatly impaired ; I must therefore, deny myself the pleasure, I would otherwise so highly enjoy. Well may you, however, thus do honour to your Representative, who has triumphantly sustained and vindicated your honour, with a head, a heart and a hand, that should not only endear him to you and to Lis Stale, but to every Southron, whoso impulses are true to the memory of his ancestors, nnd to the bind that gave him birth. When his State, and his venerable and distinguished relative, than whom, no nobler spirit, or truer heart, ever adorned the counsels of our once happy confedcra- I cy ; were ruthlessly assailed with an assas- i sin like slander nt the hands of a crazy I and libellous fanatic, your Representative I at the right time, in the right place, and i I in the ri?ht manner, administered to him i ait argument, the only kind in my judg- t inent, that will now avail against impu i dent, arrogant and mad fanaticism, that i regards no truth, no right, no justice, no ! honour, no law or compact; And when / the lire of black fanatical fury and revenge n wore kindled around him at tho hands of t an unscrupulous majority, and the shaft of c persona\ Insult, w as feebly attempted to j I I - I - I > - * * ve nurieu ai mm, lie met it with a lirm- t ness, and repelled it with a promptness that wottld i'o honor to Roman, as they 1 well entitle him to the admiration of eve* n \y ope who is at all endowed with true e feelings of manliness ; the duty could have f fallen in no better hands. j We have arrived at a period in the af- c fairs of this Republic as portentous as it , t is trying and insulting to the South, and 1 t those, evep, who do not wish to, may as i well understand it. Ambition has loomed |t up with a progress and rapidity, recently, t that those of its who were most apprchcn- } sive, were scarcely prepared to witness? ! I It is now strong and airogaut enough, to i r control tlie most numerous lqanc(i of Con- : t gress, to elect a speaker w\io would not | t decide whether we, or our negroes at e the I < superior race?to clog the wheels of the t Federal Government, at will?to engage t in open . rebellion apd war, and murder < our friends for daring to claim equality in ' the Territories purchased with our money < and our blood, and more than nil, to noni* I inate an ordinary Lieutenant of the. army i for President of the Uuited States, with- i out ey^n desiring or asking the co-opera- . tion of a single Southern State, with the t determination, to subdue the South below the condition of a province, to destroy i her honour and rights, and ultimately, to I reduce us to equality with our slaves, and I authorize them to claim, (as now by Law i in Massachusetts,) to associate in our I families and marry our children. If they i succeed in this election,! tilist all will ngree I with me that the Union is dissolved and i ought to be dissolved, for there can no I Longer ho union of interest, of right, of I property,of sentiment, of honour or equal i rty, and the election of Fremont will pro- i claim it to the world. Should Buchanan i be elected, the Union may survive /or a j j time, and possibly be preserved, provided j > Democrat* be Democrats and Statesmen, * maintain their position and administer the ' 1 Government according to their professions I and the Constitution, and look, much less. } I to offices arid plunder.

Indeed in view of the fate of the Human Republic and the his , tory of our own Government to the pres ( ent moment, I am doubting more and more, that a republic can well exist without the institution of slavery.

Female Educationl'or several years the " vo^' populi" has been cryind out for and demanding a change in the manner and style of Educating Females. Now, at the beginning of this article, we wish to be understood, and understood clearly. \Yo advocate, w ith all our puny might, that all Females should be educated in such a manner that, their schooling finished, they should he prepared to take command of a household and rear up a family tp the lienor of their country and tp the glory of fled. One of our most gifted statesmen writes that "the future destiny of this country lies with the mothers of the land," and it needs no svlog stic argument to prove this; this has, in a measure, been accom plished bv the organization of Female Colleges, Universities and Seminaries all around tis. The good old fashioned school has been abandoned, and nothing but a College ; or at least a Seminary, will suf tice to contain the hooped aristocracy of the present, day. Vfo believe that the present system of educating Females is totally rotten. At the Seminary they are taught that labor is dishonorable, that idleness is the insignia of high breeding. 1 lie pnblie opiuiop of iheir fellow students. uciiiaiKi ii, of inoy ii pe tbpuglit {our.? How often lias the confiding, artless maiden, in the short space of one year, been transferred into a henftless, plotting, fashionable coquette, who, when she left for school, was the joy and pride of the family, and returned almost ashamed of her hard working father and brothers.? We believe thjit these fashionable Seminaries of learning ruin a girl, inental'y, physically, and in a great many cases cut the silver cord that keep them near to the | throne of JJod. hirst, their mind is ruin- j ed by the stylo of books that generally i flood these Seminaries, and instead of ap ! plying themselves diligently during study j hours, they are generally poring over some love sick novel, and never think of j ihcir task until the bell calls theip to recitation, tliep tlioir wits are put to work to lud a w ay to cheat the teacher; These ind other wrongs they deen*. right, for hey are not taught to the contrary, or rather it is the custom of the place, and I poll leaving school how often do we tear young ladies say that their education a finished, and they now fold their hands md :n "silks and satins" wait to he pick id up by the first light headed, line-dress d Jackaknapes that tnay propose, and hey pass through life the blind lf?*idm.? he blind. Secondly,tbey are also ruined,physical- , V. ?t these Seminaries. We j ire told bv every medical writer tlint ex- I reise is just as necessary to health as ! ood is t?.? life, and at these policies the 1 oung ladjes spend all their spare time, coped up rending I ho light literature of i he day, or adding sotne new feature to 1 heir dresses. Early rising is out of the piestion, unless bv compulsion, and then ighl lacipg to render the forpt agreeable o the (?ight. Wo will only quote llr. dusaey in his lectures on intemperance te says ; '-Greater numbers annually die iniong the (emalp se$, in consequence of iglit lacing, than are dpstrpved among he other sex by the use of spirituous lipior.s in. the same time." i>r. 'Vodd, prin:ipat of an insane retreat, in comparing he self tortuyes of the ancient, and the levotecs of fashion makes t\ii* remark, 'they possibly might have passed a dagger too deeply into thp henyt and died ; >ut they never drew a ligature of suffocaion around it, ayul cxjwcttd lo lire. They tever tied up the mouths of millions of tir vessels in t\ie lungs, and taxed lliepi o the ftdl pleasure pt' action apd resp'.ya tion. Even J'bayaoli only demanded brick without straw for a sliort time. 1>tit a iisliionablo lady asks lo live without wreathing for ninny years."

Neither arc the manners of , young ladies improved or benefitted by the. means of these institutions, whete the j manners of n simple artless maiden are | trainee J, by ? l?'reneh Professor, where the Carolina mocking bird is changed into a J pr.rrot by a representation of those Whose manners still our tardy apish nation Limps utter in la.se imitation.n Is it not strange that we must, import persons to teach our modest maidens the brazen manners of immoral Kr.nce! to bring tliem up (to use their own expression) to be "fast young Indies," to teach them the accomplish i^tnia necessary, ns they say, "to fetch every b'hoy tjiat flies around." When their "education is finished" are they prepared for th.y duties of life) 'fhey ran neither till the station of mother, daughter, sifter or wife, hut pass through life a living martyr to the cruel and inhuman mandates of the frodess Fashion. We feel thankful tliHt the fashionable Seminaries have not n)ad{j t,beir appearance in oyr section of the country, and hope that they never shall, but that Mary, the mother of Wsslnrgton, may be the guiding star of the mothers of Carolina.
