THURSDAY MpEIOTG, SEPT. 21,1865. presbyteJry of south caroiina. We^aro requested to stato that -this body will convene-at Newb.erry C. H. on Thursday, 2Sth instant, at 7 * o'clock, P. M. -. ' ??-;?? B?T Wo are under especial obligations to John "Wilson; Esq., delegate trora this District, for late files of tho Phamio;, con? taining the proceedings of the Conven? tion for the first few days of its session. "Without the reception of this courtesy, ? we would not have been able to present our readers with even the brief synopsis which is given elsewhere. ... ? ?-*> THE KEOWEE COURIER. This old arid popular journal has been revived recently under its'former propi i ctors^and wo aro in receipt of tho fivst number of tho "new issue." The .Courier is a handsome duoblo sheet, of sufficient dimensions for the present-times, and maintains the ancient aspect of interest and sterling worth. -O-?;-S For the Intdliyhncrr. Mr. Editor: As your design ought to be, and I hope is, to watch over tho mor? als of the. peoplo, I hope you will publish this, as I am persuaded there is at the present time a very demoralizing senti? ment prevailing ainong the people of the Confederate States, viz: That it would b8 right to repudiate indiscriminately all debts.due in the South, for the relief of our (suffering country. Now, I am per? suaded that no honest man; unless blind? ed by self interest and lo6t to all sense of honor and justice,, upon maturo conside? ration, and prayer to a jus$ and righteous God for direction, could -for a moment sanction such a law. A few'of my rea? sons for thinking, so are?.1st. Look' at the many thousands of minors and orphan Children it would rob of their all, not on? ly those who havo become so during the war, but whose estates have been in" 'credits for many years. The Lord saj-s, " Cursed be ho that pervcrtcth tho judg? ment of the stranger, fathcrlPss and widow, and all the people shall say amen."?Dent 27?19. -Again. -A great many good and honest citizens, to be freed, from tho trouble and cafes of busi? ness, have years ago sunk their property into credits on good men, whomow hold a good deal of real estate, purchased with the funds thus borrowed, and the credi? tor left destitute. -Would a heathen sanction it ?. Again. Hero is a man holding real ^estate to a considerable amount* and indebted to poor men, own-1 ing not a fourth or fifth part of what ho owns. "Would it be right to rob tho poor, creditor to save the property of-the rich? er man ?. "Who can say so and not blush? "We might bring in cases innumerable to show .the barefaced injustico of such an act, but we let the abpve -suffice, only ad? ding the saying of tho wisest teacher, "HE that ib unjust in the least, 18 un? just also in -much." Wo will now no? tice some of the' arguments in favor of the sentiment. Ono is, it would not in? jure more than ono, to twenty it -would benefit. This is just as good an argumcat a3 to say, it is right, to rob a rich man, who by industry and economy has, through a long life,'obtained his wealth, and give it to twenty who had no right to it; Suppose it wpul4.benefit one hun? dred, and only one suffer. "Would that justify -it? Again. It is said a great many men who were very rich, mostly in slaves, and in debt, it may be nearly to the amount of their real estate, it would be hard for them to have to pay their debts. Does any man, who has common honesty,'say that it is right to rob the fatherless and widow to savo his real es? tate? It is the Lord -that maketh poor and maketh rich, and*, where does he sanc? tion-men to rob the innocent to save that to the rich, which in his providence ho nas taken'away from them? Again. It is said every man ought to lose tho same proportion of what ho is worth. As this is an idea I have never heard advanced in any Case of loss or misfortune, in.my lifo, and ns.it would be perfectly impracticable to ptit in force, I leave it to stand for what it is worth. , ? And now, as we have as much sympa? thy for our soldiers who are in debt, and have been in tho army during tho war? nmd have had no opportunity to make money, and for all others who have lost all?make a-bankrupt law for their bone fit, and I think no feeling man- would ob? ject for all such to take advantage of such a bankrupt law. For the relief of such 'as hold property, and are in debt, pass a law, giving, debtors time to mako the money, say. 2, 5 or 10 years, if so long a time is necessary to keep him- from4 hav? ing his property sacrificed to satisfy an unfeeling creditcr, his paying a portion,' with the interest yearly, &c, &c. I know that the recent war has had a demorali? zing effect on almost ajl olasses ol men. This is too visible everywhere to. be de? nied; but I do hope that .we arc not fal? len so low in the scalo of morality as to sanction or pass such a. law as would in? discriminately repudiate all debts. Then wo must say, as Josiab said of Israel in his day," " And ^uagment .is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off, for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." Let" Confederate debts bo reduced- to tfce\value of the property at the time conr tracted in good money, or in its value in specie at the time. A LOOKER ON. For the Intelligencer. * EDUCATION AND^lTS INFLUENCE OS THE CHARACTER OF THE STATE. It is supposed that the Convention-will havo important functions to discharge, and will, in a measure, determine the fu? ture destiny of the Stale. In thcoiy a Convention .is indeed absolute, as* expres? sing tho will of the people; .but in the caso of the present Convention its powers will be found to bo practically limited by circumstances, and it will have a pre? scribed work to perform, whero a fore? gone conclusion, will not be much affected by any freedom of debate. Besides, in the unforeseen events of time, a future Convention may again modify the Con? stitution, so that only in a limited degree can the destiny of the State bo said to be in the hands of that body. . It is the peo? ple ultimately who must dctcrmino tho character of the Str.le, and in thorn lies its destiny for weal or woe. This is a power, the effect of which cannot be pre? vented from without, and the responsi? bility of which cannot be avoided or thrc.wn off from within. For. such as is the citizen, .so will be the totale.; and whether, designedly or not, each one is necessarily giving that impress to society ?and circumstances under which his chil? dren will grow up and be moulded. Con? stitutions, liberty itself, are valueless to a people whose character they do not ex? press, and who arc too ignorant and un? cultivated to appreciate their import. There is, therefore, one respect, in which "the destiny of the State really lies in the hands of the people; and this is,- the character, the civilization and tho en? lightenment which by their conduct they are about to impress, and leave as the in? heritance of thqir children, i It must be obvious to every one, thai I things cannot now How back into their old channels; a hew state of political.and social life has begun, and th$ most serious j question for every citizen is?what shall bo the character of our society and insti? tutions? lu emerging out of the pi-cscnt unsettled and .dislocated condition .pt things, two. alternatives arc within the choice of the people. One is. to provide for the future that the State be intelli? gent and fit to be a Stale of freemen; or, if this bo neglected, the other alternative is inevitable, viz:?to sink to the level of a half-informed people, unable to hold their own against superior intelligence, and the proy of any flood of immigration which may huppen to overrun them. In despotic countries, it is the policy of the rulers to keep the mass of the people as intellectually undeveloped as. possible, in order that-they may be, like children, de? pendent "for everything upon the riding power. . This power, it is true, protects, forits own interests, as wellasenslavcsits subjects. But what is to be thought of. a free people?if such a .people can be found?who ' voluntarily reduce them? selves to the ignorant, unenlightened con? dition of a despot's subjects, Avhilo they have no despot's power to protect them, against those of superior enlightenment to themselves ? Such a people could not continue free; - they would bo, and de? serve to be, the inferiors they would have made .themselves. It is by intelligence aud enlightenment alone that the State can maintain any position or respect among tho members of the United States. Her ? history demonstrates this. The smallness of her territory and population render her but a cypher in political re- ' specls-; but it was by such citizens as Calhoun, Lowndes and Chevcs, that she was felt in the national councils. Besides, howevor, a sense of respect for her past character, there is another con? sideration, which ought to be a most pow? erful incentive to every ? citizen to pro- . vide, as far as lies in* his power, for tho intelligence and ' enlighten incut of the State. There is no longer a politically privileged class. There is no slaveholder who', however dull and uncultivated, yet holds a superior position and influence by virtue ot his large possessions. There is no constitutional distinction of class which placed the poor non-slaveholder, however ignorant and.stupid, in apriyi leged rank above the sla'vo. There is no slave; and it.must depend upon the supe? rior culturo and intelligence of tho white men, whether he shall maintain the rank ho has hitherto held. Enlightenment, in? telligence and culture will always main? tain a superiority in every community where civilization and law rule instead of , brute force. Wc find them instinctively respected and acknowledged, even by thoso of a community who 'may envy or. not possess them ; and until wc sink into barbarism and tho rule of b'ruto forco, .those qualities will always make the pos? sessors of them, the leading portion of society. Some may smile incredulously at the notion that his fellow' black french? man could ever encroach upon his superi? ority of white race. But let him reflect that a generation will effect many chang? es; that Chcre is now no legal barrier be? tween races, but that the difference must be maintained by intellectual and moral superiority; and finally, that "it is not so. much the question how nigh to tho white man's capacities the negro may be devel? oped, as it is, how low tho .white man may sink by the neglect of what lies at the basis, and.is the indispensable condi? tion of all superiority of civilization. If this' be neglected, there is no guarantee ?under heaven that wo may not sink into a Mexican ecmi-barbarism. Natural ad vantages of race; rio more than natural ad? vantages of soil, cannot be preserved with? out the requisite culture, and to cherish and dovelope these, lies in tho power of no Convention or Constitution, but must depend upon .the people themselves. In ihis respect, then, tho future of the Stated and the condition of our children, lie in our own hands. What, then; is t!:is .necessary basis of all superiority of civilization? What it luas been in every age?Education. Broken up and thrown back as everything has been by four years war, and with a new order of things introduced, it is most in? cumbent upon us to lay hold of this sub? ject at once, and to take caro that the rising generation enter not upon tho du? ties of life, uncultured, untaught, and behind the world in even the elements 'of knowledge. It wotdd be a singular spec? tacle at a future day, to sec two grand? children, one of a former master, the oth? er of a former slave, when the latter was the better educated of the two, not from natural capacity, but because the ances? tors of the former took rio care to "secure for him that upon which every freeman's superiority and dignity must in a great degree depend. Education cannot bo forced upon a free people, and miist be voluntarily sustained by them. If, then, the peoplo will now determine to; have education for their children?education befitting freemen?and such as they can have, if they arc determined to support competent institutions?then the' future of the State may be worthy her olden po? sition and renown. . . -?*-!-;' PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION.
