CONSPIRACY TO THROW THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT INTO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-COALITION BETWEEN THE AMERICANS AND BLACK REPUBLICANS. Tho Whig of yesterday concludes nil articlo on "Mr. Fillmore's Prospects," with the following words: "At this point, we close our remarks with nn extract from a communicati >u in the "Baltimore American, touching the prospects of Mr. Fillmore in tho House, J which tho American tells us is fioni the ; pen of one of the 'most prominent and in- | lluential Whigs of Maryland?one who j never allowed parti/an zeal to blind his ! judgment, or to express opinions lluit lie j lias not the best reasons for believing to be j correct and reliable.'" In the communication which is so warmly commended to the confidence of the readers of the Whig, wc find this paragraph: 44 The 1'epublioans will make an earnest struggle for their man, but when they see, ! as see they must, that it is destined to be i fruitless, they will join the Americans ami j make Mr. lull more President. They trill j neither rote for Mr. /iric/fiiirin nor sulfa- j the election to f/o to the Sunt/''. J/y tutor- j motion on this snlyeet ' * '/.sired from the j most intelligent awl tut thru tic tourers. "The result upon the \vliidy is that the i pcopie whi i:hi 10 I'lcci a riiMHum ; uiai j the House will elect one, ami that the i choice of the House will be Mr. Kiilmore."

Such an event aiways i involves more or less of domestic disturb- I ancc, and necessarily implies danger lo the . stability of the government. The provision for the election of ]'resident by the House of Representatives, is intended to avert the calamities which, without this safeguard, j ] i.i i. ? ' vtuiiiu icanii< iruni :tn ou.-irucliou 111 the Je- | gitimate and equable operation of our insti- J ' tutious. It is a remedy for extreme cases of diseased action, ami was never meant to } be tlie daily diet of (! < government. A j deficiency of natural vitality find strength ! in the human system, is supplied hv ailili- i ' cial stimulants; and, in like manner, when j ! tho government falls into a sort of syncope, ! 1 ius consciousness and power are restored hv j 1 extraordinary application: The faithful ' physician, in either case, is not the man I who deliberately produces the paralysis, 1 hut lie who anxiously sustains the healthful action of the system, and only resorts ' to an extreme medicine in an extreni emergency. When we sec a parly speculating on the probability of an obstruction in tho action of government, and coollv : calculating the chances of success in the j event of a defeat of the popular choice, we j may safely infer that its patriotism is not j r-.jiial to its passion for the spoils. The things that breed and fatten in a disease ! j organization, are the creatures of corruption. The history of the country furnishes a practical illustration of the philosophy inculcated in the preceding paragraphs. There lias been an instance, and but a single instance, of the defeat of the popular choice in the election of Pre.sidi.iil; and there was certainly nothing of success in that ex- i periment to invite its repetition. In lS'Jt, ! neiuuT ciiiiuKiarc ii?r ino Presidency received a.majority of tin.' electoral votes, and llie choice devolved upon the 1 louse of Representatives. All the elements of opposition to the Democracy united in ft coalition, and John Quincy Adams was elected over General Jackson, who had ? ! plurality of the popular and the electoral vote, and who was tin; indisputable choice of the country. The shock to our system was ro severe as to inspire the gloomiest apprehensions for llio safely of our institutions. Here was proof that a popular government might ho perverted to the defeat of tho will of the people, and to tho aggrandizement of an oligarchy of unscrupulous poli tieians. A feeling of disquiet and discontent pervaded the country *, tlie people writhed and groaned as under the lieel of usurpation; there was universal revolt against the dynasty which had seized possession of the government in defiance r.f the manifest will of the masses. The Exccutivo was paralyzed by the irregularity of its succession; and was barely capable of fulfilling ila function in the political system. Government suffered a sort of suspension of animation. ' By a natural transition of r feeling, tll^poppliir detestation of the Adi ministration^ aliected the principles of the Constitution, and mon began to question the Utility of institutions which were sus^ ^ coptible of Rtteh outrageous abuse. Against K- ever? pet*ou who had been instrumental of tlioir choice, the neonfe I r etierishod art urf^ptnwable purpose of rever.ge.

Not only <lo llie opposition propose to repeat tho experimentof 1824, but they propose to repeat it with peculiar circumstances of indecency and outrage. Tlicy not only aim at the defeat of the unpopular will, and the obstruction of the legitimate action of the Constitution, but they seek to compass their unhallowed object by a coalition with the avowed enemies of the Union, and by an obstinacy of factious resistance which must inevitably end in revolution.

In tlio first place, ho informs tho country that the 1 thick Republicans " will never vote for JJnehanun, nor suffer the election fo i/o into the Senate;" and this is so important an assurance that it is uttered with all the emphasis of i!<(lics.

MEXICO?THE "nEW^CONSTITUTION. t The following is a synopsis of the pro- t posed Constitution for Mexico, now under { liseussion in the (!mnrrr?< ?i?" t1i?> 0 "V1,UU lie : Tin; plan of the New Constitution lias 1 been favorably received, but it is supposed < various important modifications will be < made before its final approval as the future ( organic law of the republic. The form of j Qjoverniu .tit proposed is that of a federal j j union of the Mexican States. The Consti- j Lution of the United States has been copied ; i Lhroughout; although some of the new N provisions are such as cannot be found in |, tho American. There is to be only one [ legislative body. The President is to be , : elected for a term of four years, and mem- i 1 ber.s of Congress for two years. Xo one in religious orders can hold office; and toleration of religion is guaranteed to all sects and denominations; but tho ltoman i Apostolic Catholic is to bo protected as far i as is consistent with good policy and the national sovereignty. The section which , contains tllf? liiil riolifc - - --O"-' VJIJVJJCU I , hereafter by all c'tizcns, is extremely liberal i, ntul extensive. i, Modifications will be made before the | final adoption of the Constitution. It is !, probable that a Vice-President will be given, I \ with the duties of presiding over Congress, ! < and becoming President in the event of a j temporary vacancy, instead of the Chief ] | Justice, as is now proposed. The article 1 , which declares that no law shall bo enacted j ( impairing contracts will also be changed.? , At the present time, by the Spanish and 11 Mexican common laws, any civil officer, I , while acting by the orders of a superior, j cannot be made personally responsible for ; j bis acts, although illegal, oppressive and !, unjust. An article will bo introduced toabol- \ ish this evil by making all officials re^ponsi- I, hie lor illegal acts done l?y tlieni, even in j, the discharge of their oiiicial duties, and 1, thus giving Mexicans the saino rights and j, protection as those enjoyed in tho United ; , Slates. j, The decree affecting the property of the j Church was ratified by Congress the day alter its promulgation. 1 Its general scope is to turn the real estate 1 of tho Church into mortgages, and thus , enable the government to discover the ex- j tent and value of all their property. A , tax of five per cent, is to be paid into tho public treasury upon the value of every mortgage as it i$ given. And this, it is supposed, will amount to many millions of dollars in a few months. The interest on each mortgage is to bo paid to the Church in the same manner as heretofore ili? mint was paid. But the mortgages cannot be canceled, nor can the Church exercise any right or owfwrship over this lien except to enforce the payment of- the interest annually. The Church is further prohibited hereafter from purchasing or holding real egUUo; and all loans of money or other business dbne l>y any of that body roust be authenticated before a notary, who is required within oriei week to inform the proper authorities of the same.

KANSAS MEETING. "We extract tlie following from a series of j resolutions adopted at a recent Kansas meeting in New Orleans : "That we recognise and will entertain no feeling of amity or plan of compromise with such of the Northern States as- systematically assail our institutions and en 30urage the spoliation of our rights; and lliat we regard them so long as they persevere in this unwise and unjust course, as the irreconcileable enemies of the Southern States. "That if the Northern Stales persist in their present crusade against Southern rights, it is the duty of the Legislature of each Southern State to take such steps as will divorce the South from the North, 1 peaceably if they can, forcibly if they must.' " That the Governor of this Stato be, and j ho is hereby, requested to correspond with the Governors of all the Southern States, J with the view of creating a concert of ac- i Lion among the several Legislatures thereof, j upon this subject, and if necessary, in his ! Dpiuion, to convene our Legislature for the ! |)iirposo of deliberating ami determining ; upon the measures necessary at the present urisis." Texas, too, by licr Legislature, appropri- , Eitod something handsome for the purpose j of sending men to Kansas; and unless j quiet and order is restored in tho Tcrritoryi j her example will he followed by other j Southern States, and thus an issue will ho , made lip between tho North and South, which will inevitably end in disunion. Massachusetts, immediately after the Kansas Bill was passed, commenced a scheme, by State Legislation, to colonize Kansas. She has established tho precedent. Thus the North has been the first Aggressor, .i.*? ?i t-i- 1 .11.V. ouu mtiy y;i iruiiiuiu UI> 1110 COn?50? quences of her folly. Wo understand tlio anarchy, misrule and bloodshed in Kansa?, to be nothing more than a political gamo of Black Republicanism. The shriekers for freedom have no desire that peace and order should be established in the Territory, until after the Presidential election. Their only object is to keep up the excitement with a view of manufacturing opposition to the Democratic Administration, and, by such unholy means, add strength to their owo party, hoping thereby to elect Fremont President. We inav therefora do cessation of hostilities in Kaoms until after the Presidential canvass. _ j v.'. ***??

Another remarkable fact is, that the idea of withholding the patronage of the State from the College, has originated in those Districts which pay the least tax into llio general Treasury. We regard the attempt to stir hatred against the College, as futile and vain.? The appropriations may be somewhat extravagant?there may be abuses in the management of the fund thus appropriated. We have not (he necessary statisties before us, to enable us to frame ail intelligent opinion upon this subject. If such is the faet, then wo could go as far as any to correct them; but wo cannot subscribe to that niggard economy which would ultimately bring rtfiti upon it. The allegation that it is an Institution in which to educate the pampered sons of the rich, and from which the poor and middle classes are excluded, is a species of politi cat nonsense too ridiculous to contemplate. The proposition that the poor are onerously taxed to sustain an educational institution for the rich, is a political absurdity?" the first born" of demagogues, nurtured into manhood by their deceived and ignorant dupes. Wo undertake to say that no literary institution, with the character and reputation of the South Carolina College, ever has or ever can be made self-sustaining. Tim llistrtVV fit' InclllnliAno .1...... ?d an example of this kin?.l. They must be endowed, receive appropriations, contributions, or have other resources than that of the tuition fund, with which to Mistain themselves. The tuition fund of tho South Carolina Cullego would probably reach *7,000, which would little more than support two professors. Then, to make the College dependant exclusively upon this fund, would be to abolish it altogether. It being evidently true that to withhold tlie appropriation, would be to do away with the Institution, then the question for iiim to decide who votes against it, is ivlli*llw?l* lin fi\T #1m cnl'n nf flift utc lie pays towards its support, would pocket tho pittance?-sound the death knell of the College?exult in its downfall, and send his son to be educated in Yankee laud, where he could imbibe Sharp's llitle theology, whith all tho isms of Northern society. About one-twentieth of the whole tax of the State is appropriated to the ('oilego. Just think of it!?how onerous! He who pays a tax of sj.1.00, 25 cents goes lo the support of tho College; and he who is worth $30,000, pays perhaps ?'20 tax, of which SI.00 goes to support an institution which has ever been tho pride and honor of the State. \vurrri;x ri?R i'iik ai:i:i.vii.i.i: insxix REVIEW OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT SOUTH CAROLINA MILITIA.

These Reviews were, indeed, interesting cxereises, and deserve a more prominent notice than that to be given to them by casual conversations. The Colonel of the Regiment, T. J.

Col. William Cmnkscales?so great is his love for the military ? accompanied the Reviews all round. The Companies were all out, almost to a man, and seemed to vio with each other, Companies and men, as to who could understand?and do tho duties?go through the various evolutions?the best.

On Sunday previous to his death, while iu his usual health, he was suddenly attacked with Cholera Morbus, in its most malignant and painful form ; but, nol withstanding his great sutfcriiig, which continued unabated through his illness, he hud full posses. siou of his mental faculties to the last. IScim; informed, a short timo before his death, that, he could not possibly recover, without any apparent alarm at the announcement, he called his family around him. and to each spoke words of advice t and consolation ; he said ho hoped to meet them all again. How few of us can say iu our last moments, as lie said, that we have never know ingly injured any one! In the douth of (.'apt. ISovu, his family have sustained an irreparable loss, and the neighborhood and community a citi? zen they will long remember. * T. 1 Trnnknt Ijomax, second son of George and I Caroline S. fSrnvoa, died in Lowndesville ou (lie :* 1 st of August, 183(5, ufter it nhort and painful > illness, in the illli year of liis age. Deatli, in laying his icy hands upon the old, whose head the frost* of ago have whitened, and > inl'i whose cheek* the ploughshare of timo has ! marked deep furrows, hut claims his own ; hut when he claims the young, the beautiful, the i lovely, wo are inclined to niumuir. So wo felt when looking upon the eold eluy of this gifted hoy. He hud lived long enough to entwine him' pelf around the hearts of all?the pride of his . parents, the admiration of his relations. His manliness of character was prominent, when " standing in front of that grim monster, before whom the s'ront^ mail often trembles, lie said to his father, who was weeping at his bed-fide, "1'on'l cry, l'a, for I am going lo heaven; ineci . mo there. Oh, the beauty, the power of religion, that enabled this little l*?y lo triumph over 1 the fear of death and the grave. ) A M.M Krlnmiilinni '/ Citrc Jiffrctrd />>/ I)>\ , ilf' r.itiic'x Celebrttled \"crinifti<ic.?rul In/ ^ !
