' WEDNESDAY, MAY-18, 1808. The Protest of the Kzeootire Committee of this Atate in Behmlf of the White Toopte Arainet the Constitution of tho Reconatrution Contention. TMt protest has beet prefer ted to Coiktcm hy a corftmittce of Soutb Carolinian* from Columbia, all good men end true. Moat-of the protest arc hcnrHly approve. It la chiefly made up of tho analysis of the Constitution hy Ex-Governor B. F. Ppttar, and some of the itrgumcmo 01 /\ rxihtkad JiUBT, esq., or aobcvitlo District. W# regard it wifortiiMie ?nd a ft rent miltake on the part of the Executive Committee, | that they should insert in the protest objectiooe to the Homestead provision of the Constitution, and the clause protecting the property of married women ; these objections are not sustained, in our opinion, by more than one man in twenty in the Btate, nod therein the Committee Has not represented the people of any elan or coler, only" the opinion of a few lawyers, and not all of the lawyers, by any means, of this Rtate. These relief measures of (ho Constitution we have been ardently in favor of, and so has the great body of tho people la this and every Southern Slate j they are rach measures, as ate generally in force in a majority of the, Northern and Weetsro States, and were so long before the war. The rulers of South Carolina hsvo wrongfully withheld them from the people in years that are past, and the want of a good homestead law, sad law protecting tho property of married women, has been felt sinee tho war as a terrible grievance, vastly increasing the ruin and misery of the people, the chence el now reenriag them, albeit wader an otherwise objectionable Constitution should not he protosted against. We again repeal, the protest presented to Congress, does not, la these particulars, represent either the prinripleror wishes of any materia) part of onr population, and were It poasible to have thia distinct issue presented ier rat ideation before the people of 8enth Carolina, the vote would be overwhelming la favor of these provisions of the Couetitntioa. There is another prevision of the Constitution, which this EsecuUve Committee has unwisely, and, as wc think, nnjustiftahly protested against?.we mean the annulling of all debts f->r slaves. Iiere the people of the State are ant in sympathy with the protest. The common sense of the people revolts at the idea of paying for that which it Is made criminal to hold by tho laws and Constitution of the State and the United States, and many good lawyers nud enlightened judgea maintain that it la a legal absurdity ; and tbnt such debts became not judicially enforceable kv the authority of the Constitution ami laws aforesaid. ????- v (.i-' u.iviv uivu i?? u? mill mm ft jun^o must enfoieopayment for ? thing which, if the debtor iltrci (a utc, he would bo sent to the penitentiary for lifts perhaps, or bo tried ond puniihrd terrildy by a drumhead court tnot tial. Of all legal absurdities, it has seemed lit ns'thc greatest, tn maintain that a judge silting on the Bench, could, with any show of rensnn, direct i> jury oil uro side to Slid a verdict for the purchase of a slave, and t<> direct another jury, on tho nt bet-side of hi in, to And the purchaser guilty of a high frime for nttcmptiug to keep possession of the mine flare. Vet this i? the propc.siiion gravely put forth by some of our diet ingulf hrd lawyers, (but nor all of ihtut,) of unquestionable diameter. Wo ean never believe in such a doetrino, neither do we believe that the Fuprcnic Court of the United Slater will sanction the npiniona of Mr Hr ar, and other South Carolina lawyer*' but rather those of (Jen. AIoCowa* and other* I who think with him. Jlut why lug this question in a protcrt ie Congress. Wc protest gainst all such judicial question* hciog carried before thai body, especially when it.is ?sstimed that the people of the State approve he cotiraa, which verily they do not. The matter of divorce is also lugged into the Protest. Thii question is one oo which wise and good men have been and are divided all over the world, mid, In some respect* regarding this question,,the whole world la opposed to the South Carolina doctrine of a total abnegation of divorce for *ny and all cause* whatsoever. The boast of South Carolina politicians that uo divorco could ever be obtained in this Htate Cur any cause, iustcad of an honor, baa been a reproach to tho State and it* nil era, unices indeed, Poutji Carolina legislator* claim to advance beyond the knowledge and wisdom of God and the purity and holiness of Jeeas Chrlst,aand claim superiority to the wisdom of all.other governments, ancient and modern, Theocratic, or human, heathen or Christian. South Carolina, in her snperior wisdom, hai hitherto deolined to divorce a husband from s wife, although the guilty wife should clops and cohabit with another naan, or bear cbfldreu of a different ruec and catnr from th< husband. In precisely snch cases as these out Legislators in times pest hare actually refused all relief, and boasted of it, in solemn report nl tho legislative body. Thus attempting to carry out the most objectionable principles el Northern Radicalism in maintaining a Mghet law thoo the Bible, an alleged better morality than Mosm and the Prophets, Chrtet and Apostles. We will wot, however, pursue the discussion of these matters farther. We are ootid dent that these very relief measures embraced in the Protect, would he functioned, if disease ed before the people, every one of them, and carried eronif a single Radical did uot roH for them. There is enough of Insuperable objections t< the Constitution, independent of those fjuc-stsunn< ?hW?k Ar* nrA> anMiinllv invnlrp lh?> ri#h(j and liberties of the white oitixea* of the Stele that the eommiUee bee properly end eblj urged. /- ^ The Official History of the M ar.

Bingham closed the argument for the prosecution last Fridar,' and yesterday (Tuesday,) was fixed as the day for the final decision of the Senate TTe cannot learn the result in time for this week's paper. The reason that uncertainty hangs over ths affair is simply ths inability of people to determine what view {Senators uiny take of the effect to ho produced by conviction or acquittal upon tbe interest of the Litrt'.rnl party, and doubtless the party is itself extremely puixlcd on tbis head, like pit the.rest of us, being often, in the history of parties, its trout favorite measure when accomplished, proves its rnin, like Napoleon's march to Moscow.
