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:

of the wilderness though which he roamed,
and master ol" the mountains over whii-h he
pursued the wild lawn. 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. .
Tell rac not of the hallowed relics of Palestine,
nor the proud trophies of Rome; Tell

One of the most striking points in the I
of Senators, is the vast preponderance
gentlemen of the legal profession. A f
cigner, in looking at. the occupations in j
vatc life of the executive and legislat
branches of our government, might w
! suppose that the constitution provided tl
I lawyers should always have the prefcren
on the same principle that the charter of t
Mechanics' ISank, of this city, provide.? tl
a majority of the Board of Directors sh
be mechanics. No less than forty-one
the United States Senators are, or have be
lawyers, leaving fifteen for all other occn|
lions. Of these tast, the medical professi
j have two; the nreRianics, two; the mili
it, tin* planters, and retired gentlemen, 1
remainder?the merchants not having f
of their own number to represent them.
Truly, the legal profession is the favoi
el ass with the people of this country.
