' ' J&tb M from the Columbia Haulier. "The Palme tto-Stnto." [.1/7 Original Composition hy a Pupil of the Columbia Female Academy.] South Carolina, called tlio Palmetto-State, it situated between North Carolina on the north, and Georgia on the southwest, its eastern shore is washed bv the waves of the broad Atlantic, while the filue Kklge frowns gloomy on the northwest. Its capital, Columbia, stands near the centre of the Stiito, on the Congareo river, and is a place of considerable trade. It is about one hundred and ten miles above Charleston. vnarieston at the junction of the Ashley and Cooper rivers is one of tlie largest cities in the Southern States, and from its extensive trade and beautiful situation, it has received the well merited title of the "Queen city of the South." There are several other towns of considerable importance. It lists been asked, "Why South South Carolina was called the Palmetto-State?" We are told that when Hriltanuia lirst sent her minions to reduce this rebellious colony?when they came across the wide-spreading main to execute the order?the dauntless sons of Carolina assembled on Sullivan's Island, and erected a breastwork of the almost impenetrable Palmetto, against which the deep-toncd artillery of the British, played in vain. After this, Carolina adopted the bailee of that tree, and received the name of the Palmetto-State. I am not certaiu whence the name originated, but this I do assert, she never will dishonor it. When Columbus lirst beheld the unknown shores of the new world, Carolina stood arrayed in all the beauty of an oriental paradise. The white man hail never yet stripped her forests of their foliage, nor her val: 4*i MM . r i * ica ui iiivii" uunt'lS.

Jlut tin- white man came, and the red warrior folded his blanket across his breast, sheathed the glittering tomahawk in his wampum belt, and departed from the. home of his childhood, to make room for his pale-faced foe. The sculptured oditiee rose where the forest hunter had spread out his rude wigwam; the sword began to rust on the wall, and the timid deer affrighted, when she beheld the waving boughs, under which she used to browse, leveled with the dust?fled to a new home in the unexplored wast, J'eace hovered over the hallowed land of Carolina, and the star of civilization rose, beaming with a twofold lustre, in contrast with the darkness of barbarism which frowned against her west ern frontier! J?ut suddently the cannon was heard! The ploughman laid down his share, and asked what it mcnt? Jlc was told that Great- I'ritain had forged a yoke atid would bind her colonics down to >!:?verv Tliese lew words were enough. Ah' Ihitain take back your troops! Yon have noi yet learned how to bind the liberties and curb the iron will ol freemen! Von have yet to IcnTii how jealously they guard their right*! Kngbind sneered at the warning voice of l'itt, and pursued her mad project. She was appalled when her fleet was driven from Fort Moultrie and learned that the I'alnietto-Statc would not bend her neck to wear a yoke. Hut the foe was not yet conquered; the liteblood which bathed the Cow pens, Monk's Corner, Kutaw Springs, and other battle fields, were to wash the foot prints of tyranny from her soil. Again the trumpet was hushed for <i brief space, but the campaign of 1812 aroused her sons once more to action; ;ind at New Orleans the obstinate liritons learned that the victorious army was commanded by a Carolinian. Ill 1833, the political world Was thrown into great commotion, and the cry of Nulilieation caused Congress to pause and reflect, ft told the North that Carolina was as ready to defend liberties against lier sister States as against a foreign enemy; that she would never wear the galling chains of bondage, though they were startled at he? temerity lind lofty daring, When she threw off the fetters of an oppressive union, and stood alone against the combined powers of the North. The Tariff was abolished, and once more she became one of the confederated States. Years rolled on, and Carolina's sons were called npon to maintain their nobly earned fame against a southern foe. \Vide Mexico was the theatre of war. llow well they sustained their ancient glory, the trumpet of fame, has told?the remnant who returned of the proftd band that left their native soil Las shown. No wonder Liberty is. sweet to every Carolinian. Can you thiuk What has beed sacrificed for ft and not feel your bosom glow with raptnre at tho thought that you possess a boon so precious. Can you blame me when I say "1 love South Carolina." My grandsire borv the hardships of the devolution, my father defended it in"tTjtf cftmi?aign of 1&12, and some of the blood of my ottn veins, nowing trom a i>rotlicr'? wounds, swelled the ensanguined torrent that rolled over the field of Churubusco. Well may it be said, that "Chivalry is-a second nature to a Carolinian," and well may we be proud of lier. Her children arc pre-eminent iu beauty unbounded in knowledge, and invincible in war. .
