We arc now landed safely upon American soil, and will continue our inarch through & wilderness whose only inhabitants, is tho aboriginal yod skju. It is then with emotions that thrill our hearts uith pleasure, that we turn from the contemplation of oriental and European men and things, to those of our own free and happy land. Truly the star of empire travelled with our pilgrim fathers, vvlj.cn they ,cross> rd the almost t/acklce* ocean. We can fancy this small group of men wor?en and children as they stand on tho bench of the old world ready to embark. What thoughts crowded their minds ?? What noble feelings swelled their gallant souls. To mention the dangers of so hazardous n voyage is unnecessary. We must behold them whyn jLjjey land, wearied, sick and d,cjpeted tljuy sink upon a welcome soil, inhaling with the first breath the inspiration of liberty, proclaiming the principles of divine religion. Thus conunenecd a government whose very corner stones was laid under the influence of the Christian religion. Steering our eourso South westward!)' within the boundary of the United Republic, tve pass by unnoticed the kingdom of Slontizcujiia, Cortex's despotic career and tjie realms of South America. The revolting calamities, unfortunate catastrophes and the wonderful achievements, miraculous victories, unanimity of action of our produces, sor*. and such scenes as above delineated should causa every true American to cherish the hope of a happy futurity. A retrospect of such reminiscences as these ought to resuscitate in our hearts feelings of inflexible patriotism. Ilut the chivnlric southerner questions the expediency of enjoying the future under the bane of the vile, factious and diabolical abolitionists of the North, who denounce national laws made for the security of Southern rights, null ajid void and infract them almost daily, lu attempting to dissolve the prospect of its dim vista, wo cannot but predict that in IKp mttri'li m J * v.. v> u?i|)mi: numuwurt], slavery will still recede from the middle states and be established in our Mexican Territory, finally, resulting in the amalgamation of the African and some of the Mexican blood? that the foundation^of this magnanimous fabric will be shaken by every effort to adnjlt a new State and perhaps issue in its dissolution. In sketching examp'es deinonstrating the progress of mind and improvement, we refer you to a Washington, Jackson, Clay, Polk, and a Prentcss, who pll destinguished themselves in western adventures. The Pater Patrae on r.n errand through the wilds and deserts of a wilder ness, whose silence was rnly broken Vy yells of the Indian and howling of beasts Iq the Mississippi river. Jackson went orlh as the mighty herald of the law, sometimes filling the offices of Attorney, Jury and Judge. James K.Polk as an utiassutr. ing and ordinary liinh of the law emigrated the same country and rose to the same exnlted position. Clay, marched westward, rose to distinction and left a name immortalized. Prentcss, who was scarcely excelled in eloqnenuo, owed his glory to western pnterprisp. Ala hama can boast of a code of laws and authors of law books, unsurpassed for legnl skill by any state in the Union. Texas tvill soon figure in the way of literary institutions, as a State worthy of a high p^ gitjon in thp independent galaxy. Thus we sop tl-?at t!;c rr.amh of enterprise and civili zation Jmj? Ln'O.i perpetual and apparently l>ns almost reached its journey's end, which inevitably will soon be consummated. RIP VAN WINKI.B. fvincastcrvillo, July 23d, I8.r>7.

NARROW ESCAPE. We learn that Mnj. J. 1). Wylie, while on his way to Chesterville to attend the extra term of Court at that place, on Wednesday llf 1:1 <1 VVOI.L- nnrroiilu i.ei.nnn.l I...-.~ v.j uviiig drowned while crossing 'Rocky Creek,' in a two horse buggy, a few miles this side of theC. II. lie wan accompanied by young Raul Harris, brother-im-Iaw to il. I'. Crawford, Esq. The stream was flooded from a I late rain and was much dce| er and swifter near the opposite bank, than it appeared to be from this side;?tho horses when swimming near the middle of the current, were struck with a heavy pieec of tiinbor that was floating by. which forpod them down the stream, and they lodged, buggy logs and all, against a raft, in water ten or twelve feet deep. Voting Harris swam to a place of safety ; Maj. Wvlie's efforts were directed to saving the horses that were completely immersed under water and entangled in | the harness and among the logs, and by i diving under water, he, at erni nent risk of life, succeeded finally in cutting the horses | loose from the buggy. This occupied save- i ral minutes and was accomplished after repeated elforts. The horses wero nearly drowned when extricated from their peril- : ous situation. Mnj. Wylio, most fortunately escaped with only a few bruises, lie, at | one time, got the skirt of his coat fastened while under water and nearly sulVocatcd before he succeeded in breaking it loose. This is said to be a dangerous ford and may deceive persons not acquainted witli it. Several horses, perhaps, have been drowned there on previous occasions. GOV. WALKER, KANSAS, THE AD MINISTRATION, &c, &c. The aspect which the affairs of Kansas have lately assumed, affords n fruitful thenufor political gossip nnd newspaper criticism, and many of our exchanges are filled with anathemas against tiov. Walker, 1'resident Buchanan and his Administration, the Democratic party, and, they have made it an occasion to denounce afresh the party ii? | this State that affiliated with the Democrats at the Cincinnati! Convention. We will consider each of these points separate1..?A La.li - I j auu unuuy. Tlioro is no question hut that Gov. Walker has acted treacherously towards the South, that his influence has been leant towards the making of Kansas a free Suite, id to effect this purpose, he has presumptuously interfered in matters not pertaining to the functions of his office. We agree with the resolutions lately adopted by the State Conventions of Georgia nnd Mississippi, to the effect that Gov. Walker in obtruding bis official advice upon the people in regard to the mode in which they should adopt their Constitution, and in nguroaxiiig his opinion as to the unfitness of Kansas for | slavery, violated the principle of non-interj \entiou cherished by the Democratic party, and has merited the condemnation of the whole South and of the Democrats both | North nnd South. Ills late acts arc by no means in character with his antecedents.? , His orthodoxy upon the subject of slavery ! had never been questioned, and he fully sustained this character during his term j of service in tho United Status Senate.? J lie took an active part in effecting the an- j novation of Texas, and other instances had j served to establish his reputation as a con- J Iservalive Democrat, and sound upon the question of slavery. Willi such antecedent's the Administration was certainly justified in appointing him to the post which j he now occupies. The next point is, lias the Administration done its duty, since Walker's late character has been developed. If the administration approves of the underhanded way j in which Walker has exercised his iiiflu j | once for free Kansas?evidencing his partiality in various ways when the dignity of I his office, if nothing else, should have constrained him to put on a semblance of neutrality if he felt it not, then it unquestionably deserves from the South the same denunciations that nro heaped upon Walker We ; do not believe that the Administration sus tains him in this charnuter, and have seen nothing that would justify a contrary opin- ; ion. In regard to the v,?Iq Issue, however, ! ?that of submitting the Constitution to ; the people?there exists hut little doubt ; that |he Administration endorses Walker's ; position. And here we think it is wrong, j Sufficient elections had alrendv been Imd 1 to ascertain the volaa of the people as to slavery or no slavery, on>! it was generally supposed that this issue was docid?d, with the people at least, at the election for dolegalea. Walker no doubt believes that the tables ?ill be turned by another resort to the ballot box, as it is said that many free- j goiters refused to vote at the Inst election, j and honto.ho determines if possible to throw | the issue again upon the people. We do not consider that the Administration in endorsing Walker's position?so far as regards the mutter of submitting the Constitution to the people, to be by thcin ratified or rejected--, is guilty of any very gross infringe- j ment of the rights of the South-?-it is not unconstitutional, nor anti-republican as we take it, but shows nn evident leaning in a j: !-?!_ iL. ?_? 1- 1 uircctiuu .111 msiiu iu u?? iiH?rrttw^ ui mo South, and which the latter had uo reason to expect from the man who line been mainly 1 through her elevated to his present high 1 position. We then-fare agree that the President has in this Instance shown himself adverse to the interest of the South, but whether this must be considered a type of what his subsequent course will bo, remains to be seen. We are willing to await f<tf-1 ther developments and not adopt this as a sufficient cautut belli ; or apply in this enso the proverb, Ab unu dit'c ownet. We next consider whether the deijunciations applied to the National Democratic Part*;, are deserved- We disdain unqualified nllcginnce to any party, and whether J Democrats, Jynow Nothings or Whigs, if ; they prove recreant to, or assail the South through any measure unconstitutional and in violation of her just rights, they deserve | alike hor scorn and condemnation. We I earn not fur the name and would affiliate j with that party only, which gives us unmis- ; takenble evidence of its purpose to guard mc interests 01 hie houw ana reaped her 1 constitutional privileges. Such we believe ] to be the true policy of South Carolina, j In 1856 she nil ilia ted with the Demouratle parly, (we will not now attempt to say u?- ' def what circumstances.) so far as to enter with them into a Presidential nominating Convention, lias she had cause to repent of this violation of her time honored policy ? Jf the Democratic party, rs a body, sustains its nominee (the President) in his endorsement of Walker's policy in Kansas, there ; is some grounds for the assumption that she has, and the last departure from heruni- | form))' isolated course iu reference to n<>m- I 'mating Conventions, might well he pointed ' to as a lesson ty protect her in future from simi'ar indiscretion*-, Hut we have seen nothing to induce the belief that the democrats. as a body, sustains either Walker or 1 the President. It is said that the Northern ' branch of it is exultant over the prospect I of Kansas being made a free State. This ; is not corroborated by the Northern press ' so far as we have observed. Judge Don". ! lass has taken the broad ground directly .. i >? ii i ? I ii<>) t-ikt; iu >> ,'iiKt r ;uui innvorni inersoulli. nnd his position has been extolled and his remarks copied into democratic Journals, very generally at the North. Our Northern exchanges, w hicll wo allow are but few, tell ?s nothing of the rejoicing of the masses in view of Kansas being made a free State, and those papers with freesoil proelivities, speak rather despairingly of their cause. We cannot then, it? justice I a. d upon stieh flimsy grounds, join in the cry of denunciation of llm democratic party, even in the event thai Kansas is m-dc a free Slate, through other hand* than theirs. The most absurd charge, is that made against the Convention party of this State They will doubtless he held responsible for everything that goes wrong with the Administration and tiie (io\ eminent for the next four years, and their opponents, it is j fair to infer from the start they have made, will continne to pour upon their devoted heads.v volley of wrath nnd denunciation upon every imaginary occasion, as the pres. cat, that presents itself. Why this crusade against tlu-in ? It in as ungenerous as it is unjust! Tlic finger of detraction is turned lo the "immortal forty eight" nnd wo are told to vvaU-li them as men dangerous and unworthy the continued confidence of the people. In this list.be it remembered, Is c in braced many of our first men, distinguished alike for their personal \irttics, their sound judgment, and for long nnd important services to their State. Their purpose in going into Convention was to secure if possible the nomination of Mr. Pierce, mid if they failed in this from no fault of tliuirs, and a third choice candidate obtained the nomination?one upon w horn the hopes of the South have never been built very high, though his anteecndeiits promised fair?and he should prove roereant to the trust reposed in him, is this a sufficient reason for the virtual and w holesale ostracism of the South Carolina Conventioiiista ? Undci n<> circumstances is it fair to traduce them, for allowing that lliey committed an error, it is hut just to suppose that tlu-y were acting for the best in. terests of their State and country. Tin ir principal object was defeated, hut as yet, it seems to lis, that neither lliey nor the Statist largo have any just reason to lament the fact of their having gone into Convention. \V lift her it in;iy ever be expedient f.?r tlifiu to offend again, no one at litis period will scarcely venture to say. THE LATE DIFFICULTY IN THE COLLEGE. The extract below, which no faku from the Newberry Mirror, given u condensed, and we have no doubt, correct tumour,', of the origin of the late difficulty in the South Carolina College. It agrees with the at ate* meat undo by the students, as published in pamphlet form some time ago : "On Sunday JOlh April, when tin-chaplain was preaching in the Chdpci, a Student thoughtlessly rapped the Hour with bis cane; after thinking of the matter fife went twice to the Chaplain's house to apologize ; both times finding, him nb?en\ and intending to go agiin. On Wedneaday the Faculty had a meeting, concerning the noise on Sunday. One Member of the Faculty first asked a student was the noise made on his side of the bench, and he replied they had not. The Faculty ircondlu called no fifteen members *,f iK? Sophomore class, occupying Die opposite aide of the house, and asked them if tliev had mode tlio noise, and they replied it was not. They Thirdly look up three men of the Junior class near the middle?evidently guessing at the otlendei, nnd experimenting, without evidenee.it trying to find him out. These three, on being n*kcd if they mnde the noise, refused to answer, denying the right of the faculty to take up nt random, and without suspicious circumstances, different set* of Students present in the Chapel. The faculty then suspended theui fur two weeks. The Junior class called a meeting nr.d np pointed a committee to draw up and pre- j sent to the President and Faculty a petition, asking them to reconsider their hto action and take back the three men, because they had suspended them on insitjjirirnl ground* of suspicion. When the Committee carried totho President and Faculty the petition, they thought it insulting, and nskv eil them to draw ut> one more resooeif.it w'biph the Committee did. The President then naked the Committee If the class latended to uphold the set. which question they could not answer ojjlclatty, but some of them said they did n<>t think the class would uphold the net, or the man who per pet rated it intended it ns an insult to religion, but they could not say that aft'uiully, sines the data had not authorised them to ' rw * jt - '* r' ?9 * do it. The students were then taken hack nnd in about one week a member of the Faculty asked one of the class how they liked the resolutions of the Faculty in connection with taking back the young men, nnd then for the first tinie the class knew of any conditions in taking the three members back.? It scents the private and unotlicial conversation the committee bad with the President bad been made the basis of the resolutions, adopted by the Faculty, and most have been furnished the Faculty by the President and used in this unwarrantable and unjustifiable way, after an express understanding that they wore not to be so used. The Jtipior class l;ad another meeting and sent a memorial to the Faculty, saying hey never authorised the President to goii>municntc such information to litem and that if they were actuated by that they must reconsider their late action. The President denied to the committee, uiui no ii'ui useu me private lniormnuon I officially, lint tin* resolutions show that it ?;h so used, and wc hear no protest made | l?y him against the use of it since, and in I addition to this, live of the Faculty saiij he j did use it officially.
