acquisition of some of those scientific at. j tainments so necessary to success in the ,j ^ useful anc* mechanic arts?and asaociated with a system of manual labor, to in- t vigorata the body, as well as to enlighten p the understanding?they would attain to f a much more permanent and extended p sphere ef usefulness. But a very neces t ary arrangement, in my view, to any I radical reformation in the system, would 1 be the appointment of a General Supcrin. ? tendcut, whose practical observation and 51 experience, would furnish many valuable < suggestions for your future action, as well ( as in the meantime, salutary improvements, in the present mode ot instruction. 1 If the expense of a salary should be J thought to constitute an objection to this < experiment, the amount necessary to f compensate such an officer, might he beneficially abstracted from the fund; and I have no doubt will be found to con. tribute to the economy, as well as the improving effects arising from the distribution of the balance. In pursuance of an Act of the Legi*. la til re, to carry into effect a ^treaty to extinguish the title of the Catawba Indians to lands in the Districts of York and Lancaster, and to purchase other territotory for their residence and subsistence, an agent, in whose intelligence and fidelity the greatest confidence is reposed bv the Proprietors, and Chiefs, was appointed by this department, with such specific instructions, as were deemed best comporting with the wise and benevolent vi'-ws of the Legislature. By the report of the agent, herewith transmitted, it will he perceived, that the objections urged bv the Executive of North Ca olina, to the purchase of land in that State, precludes the possibility of gratifying the wish ex- ; pressed by some of their Chiefs to unite their declining tribe with the remains of the Cherokee Nation, now resident there. T II is hoped, however, that the acquisition of-other lands, within the limits of our own domain, rnav be advantageously made for them; and the faith of the State, an well the exigency of this now homeJets nnA landless people, require that the necessary appropriation should be made during the present Session, to comply with this condition of tlio treaty. The Proprietors having ^n their part conformed to all stipulations and requirements of the law and the treaty, the taxes imposed by the Legislature, having been received in- i to the Treasury?and the nnnuifies which 1 have hitherto constituted the ordinary i means of subsistence to the Indians, he. ing accordingly abstracted?the fulfil mentof the obligations assumed bv the State, is now imperative, to relieve this improvident people, from a State of utter destitution, and dependence on the chari> tjr and benevolence of the community. I regret to communicate to you tfie re- 1 ? , ; signation of the late President of our Col lege, whose sphere of usefuluess. in that high and dignified station, lias been occu pied with such decided and distinguished hencfiMo the institution, and to the State.

Deeply A regretting the loss, as well as the circumf stances which have deprived us of his services, we may still confidently hope that his character and example are so indclli-? I a' bly impressed upon the institution, and its 1 , k* * generations of youth, that its lingering ' ^ f influences will continue to guide and to I ) actuate it, in the same honorable course11 of virtue and success. ( need not, I 11 i trust, recorrfmend to vour continued favor j and patronage, an institution, whose en- j lightened contributions have extended to very pur*nit and avocation?every art and f science. - as cultivated in our State?and i whose influences have been diffused through . all the wtlk? and vocations of life, occupying evry sta on in Society, pervading every pro- i fwsioft, and adorning the Bench, the Bar, the Pulpit, and our legislative councils. Tlie moral weight and influence which S<?u'h 1 Carolna has *o long exercised, through the ^ talent* and usefulness of lier statesmen, en : V the -affairs of this Union, and which this insti.. tutio i has so Urge.y contributed to preserve, j is of itseif an over-ruling inducement io foster and improve it. Encouragements to promote agricultural improvements, have ne'er received that r consideration which their importance merits, froiu the Representatives of a people so en- i tirely absorbed in the pursui', and dependant ( ?pon the succes#, of that, branch of industry, ^ as are the citizens of this State. It would IDt be so much a matter of surprise (however * improvident it might be regarded) If its interests had been so enti.ely neglected or overlooked, by the government of a community j <: pirely pastoral, or commercial. But in South { Carolina, it is admitted to be the great, the " absorbing, and almost the only productive in- t tared; and our daily experience proves, that j it it tbe constant aspiration of every other etapoyment, to vest its accumulated earnings ^ in its pursuit. In the economy of this State, t it it the aliment of every other business and vo. cation. Its productions supply the traffic of tha merchants ; its requirements give employ, jpent to the prolessions; and its patriotism a raj industry contribute the larger portion of ' purreyenue. Our statute books furnish ample < evidence of a wise and provident regard to ( protect, as well as to promote, the interests ( of other classes arid pursuits, by the limited r partnerships, commercial regu ations, and ' Corporate privileges and franchises, which t they have so liberally established. In the f benefits of legislation, either partial or cJis- . criminative to advance its peculiar interest, it does not comport with the independent * character of the agricultural community, to I desire to participate. But in the development i of the wealth of the State?in ihe improve. | meat of objects common to the enterprise and , tbe interests of all?it might reasonably solicit and expect, the aid and patronage of our ( State Government. A Geological Survey of oor mineral resources, (winch chance and ac- s pident are every day so wonderfully develop, ing.) a scientific analysis of the different soils, c so important to their profitable and judicious ] laJtore, may I presume be considered among he general and legitimate objects to wWell eyislative encouragement should be directed. Hi* beneficial influence of the productive cor. (orations and other new investments of capi a I, so usefully and successfully ?rperatirig to iromote the prosperity of the interior and upper ortions of the ?Vtate, are illustrative of the policy of inslitu'ing scientific rasearelies, o enlighten and s imulate their labors1 n diversifying the pursuits?in extrac. ing, as well as diffusing, the permanent lources of wealth from the valuable ores ind products of the earth?they have inireased and multiplied the means of nnional prosperity, added to the comforts md conveniences of society, distributed tew employments, and infused life, ener. ty, and enterprise, into the habits and diameter of our people. A small annual ippropriation to establish premiums, pro. notive of the objects to which the State Agricultural Society has so patriotically levoted it's attention, would greatly con. ribute to aid its laudable exertions, jo nspire the emulation, as well as to enighten the experience, of our citizens.-*i'he beneficial influence of legislative >atrounge, in such instances, may be llustrated by the successful example of :hose States, by whose experience it has 5een tested ; and while it must nccessafily tend to dignify, as well as to encour. ige, the great and important interest, upon the success of which the prosperity of this State so mainly depends, it is at the same time exempt, in my view, from those objections which may reasonably be urged, on principle, to the practice of conferring privileges, protection, immu- I nitie9. or franchises, on particular classes or associations of citizens. TheJasfbnt not he least interesting fop-ic to which I would invite vour attention, is the delapidatjd and ruinous condition of the State House, and its appendages; th?J offices and basement appartments of which, are tti a most cheerless and uncomfortable state of inconvenience, and decay. Venerable for tho purpose it has subserved,?associated with tlio most important events and the proudest recollections of the past?consecrated by the eloquence and the patriotism of which it has often been the scene and the occasion, it is well worthy of the pride and fostering care of those, into whose guardianship it now has descended. The moral influence of a high State example exercised in tin- toise economy of improving. as wel; as protecting, the pm;>erty of the people and oftiio State, and iri delighting j to honor and embellish the ancient Halls o ancestors and predecessors, is practically more effective to fix the attachment of our citzeuson our ins itu lone and losiiinulate the L-nterpr'Se and eiimlati m of t he people to itn prove their individual cornfirts and resources, than all speculative inducements, which either philosiphy or legislati on can proffer ? We should regard the inou during efT cts of time upon tl?e venerab'e walls of our Capitol, with the same sedulous care, and revreen'ial solicitude, to-reinove them, as we would dcfei.d and build up the breaches and innovation a of lawless and ambitious encroachme its on the sacred barriers,that surround the sovereignty and rndeqendcnce of the State. JOHN P RICHARDSON. CHERAW GAZETTE. YVEDXRSDAY, Dbckmrkr 1,1841. l Congress meets next Monday. The space required for legislative proceedings, and public and political documents, du. ring the winter and spring, will render it necessary to abridge during that time the space alioted in our columns to ngri. cultural matter. We shall thus he enabled to present to those farmers who see no other paper, a fuller view of the polities of the country. We shall, for their information, copy from otir exchnnges as m .oh on party topics, on every side, ns ne c;\n make room for. Oar selections >Iia1I endeavor to make with impar. ialitv; hut we are not to be understood is debarring ourselves from the right of reely expressing and maintaining our iwn opinion < on any subject on which we nay at any ii*??think proper to do so. The anarchical doctrines beginning to be ittercd from high p'xees in different parts :f the country, an I to he admitted into langcrousand extens'vt? connection with mrtv politics, make it ihe duty of every riend to the stability ai d nurity of our lolitical institutions, to jspeixk out as iccasion calls for it. We return our thanks to tt.'e Hon. rhomas E. Powe, M. 0. James Bl^keiav. P,<n nnrl tliA FVliinr nf the iSouth Carolinian for their politeness in senain^* is copies oi the Governor's message .by he first mail after it was delivered. We take pleasure in calling attention o the advertisement of the Cheraw Schools. Pains were taken to procure he best teachers which could be obtained n the country, and the Society seem to lave been very fortunate in their selec. ions. The schools promise to be equal 0 any in the state. From the Legislature which met on Monday week, we have no account ex;ept the proceedings of the first day.? ?)n that day Judge Huger give notice in he Senate, of his intention to introduce 1 kill ml*!tm/? fk** ??*?f rvP pAiafvraca Air I I ?/!?? IUIIUUI- IU IIIG nui UI '? j he distribution of the proceeds of the >ublic lands. It is not stated what the >u port or object of the bill is. Oil the lame day Mr. Felder give notice of a bill o prevent the officers of trie state from cceiving in payment of public dues, the tills of any of the banks which refused to iccept the amendments proposed to their charters by an act of the last session. Suppose the state to enact and enforce inch a law, it would he not unlike a man's Hitting off his nose to spite his face. iVho would he the sufferers? Not the %r?cusant banks." Any of them can, notwithstanding such law, kaep ill circulation as many hills as it is Safe fuf thom to emit, or as they are disposed to emit, in present circumstances They cannot therefore, suffer from the law. (t will, on the contrary, we think,he of advantage to them. For if their bills should pass into the Treasury, which is kept in the State bank, that bank would probably call upon them again for the specie, as it did I last year; it seems to us that it would, theiefore, be better for them that their bills should not pass into the hands of the j Tax Collectors. Who, then, would be j ihc sufferers from such a lawf The tax [ paying people, in the first place, who would in some parts of the state, find it difficult to procure bills which could be taken in payment of their taxes ; and th? demand for such bills would be so great as to hold out an inducement to the fa' ' ' * ? 1*111*. tll.n tllAV rorea uuiiks iv issu^ muic urns man coulJ redeem when presented; and thus they might be driven, by the very action of the Legislature, to another suspension. A bank-bill currency is a somewhat ticklish concern. It is, at all times, liable to be deranged, by improper interference. When, therefore, it is sound, the less it is interfered with by pragmatic politicians, the better. The people of South Carolina might now learn wisdom, from the old Epitaph, |4I was well, took physic, and here I am " Their local currency is not only sound, but perfectly sound ; and it i9 the only 9ound currency in tha South, ern states. Attempts to interfere with it can do no possible good, and may do much harm. In these remarks we said nothing of the pledge in all the bank charters, that so long as the banks pay specie their hills shall be received in payment of state taxes. Much of the preceding columns is occopied with the Governor's message, which is a document of fashionable length. The reader will find it a little bellicose, a little centr.fugal, and quite Democratic, using the term in the party sense of the present day. The last named quality, being in conformity with the opinions of the state, is, of course, politically right. Whether it is intrinsically so or not, is n different question ; and one on which men of equal patriotism, if not equal wisdom, may honestly difFef.? Vfrvai *rerutivQ messages defer the notice of national politics to the close of the <locument. Governor Richardson reverses this order. Though it is an innovation upon time.honored usage, it Ntill is consistent and right for a Nulli. tier who considers a state legislature, or other state authority, the constitutional tribunal for adjudicating and settling con. stitution.l or other questions arising un. der the federal government. National politics generally engross more attention i if they are not more important, than state politics. Where, therefore, is it deemed the province of a state to control national legislation, the subject isentitled to the first place in a state executive message. Although it is not our purpose to re. view the message, we shall advert to two or three passages for the pur|K?se, not of discussing the subjects to which they relate, hut of merely directing attention to them. In the first place, we dissont from the opinion so confidently expressed hy his Excellency, that the States or in other words, the people of these United States are yet capable of being * subdued to a state of homage, servility and compliance by bribes stolen and lavished from their own Treasury," or derived by their own servants in Congress from any other source. We have never discussed in our columns, nor are we inclined to do so now, the constitutionality or expediency of the act of Congress providing for a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the states. The subject is one on which men of sound and enlight. ened minds may, and certainly do, form different opinions. But we are at a loss I to conjecture how a citizen of our Reptih. l ie i.'-s enlightened,and as experienced in public lile, as Gov. Richardson, could have brought his mind to the deliberate, nod humiliating conviction that the people thia country are so ignor. ant, imb*V?iler and corruptible as to l?e capable of b?in * bribed by their own sor. vanl.^ with ti.'eir own money into a base and treacherous dereliction of plain duty to themselves, ti'icir children and their country. Again: The Gov ernor, after refering to the act of last session proposing to the several banks of the State, certain amendments to their charters, and alluding to the contingency that the state may have so bound itself by its own delibe rate acts J as to be unable legally to enforce u uon the banks an acceptance of the proposed amendments, he uses the following Jan. guage, which we put into a separate pargraph that'it may attract the very particular attention of the reader: In such a case it is not a very remote or fanciful anticipation, thai if so important a right were indeed improvidently lost in law, it would hut too probably, in the absence of any other resort, be reclaimed by revolution.'* Tnis is certainly most extraordinary Ian. guage coming from the Executive depart'. mont of the Government* The itate chaff. 1 * \ tors lor a tefrn ttfyttoftyrnrtnin companies if if it* own citizens* riot Tor their henefi?, J1 Htit for its own ln;nefil?-n?r the public ^ g'tod wliirh Ihe companies are t<? do. In ,j Consideration of this public good, and for b thfe purpose of inducing the companies t:> l' organize, the state grants them certain * iflinunities nnd privileges which it sol- c, emnly pledges its faith to secure tothern. oj Kut in process of time it repents of its ?l bargain,and proposes a modification of it, f' accompanied with a threat of violent death against the companies .f thev do ju not accept the proposal. Some of them, t/i in the spirit of republican freemen* under. standing their rights nnd resolved to main. ( tain thenr, reject the proposal* The state thereupon attempts to execute its threat, and the question is referred to the pi Judiciary, the tribunal constituted and ti appointed by the state itself to decide p< such questions. This tribunal decides in hi favor.of the companies It decides that! hi their charters are contracts binding on vi both parties, and during their existence to 01 be executed and enforced like other laws w of the land. Thereupon the Executive ru of the state, an officer appointed mainly f tt to see that the laws are faithfully excuted. i suggests, not their execution, hut their j - - . . ... _i?f ,i Subversion by revolution?hy rebellion 011 ? the people against their own constituted C) authorities, and against their plighted c< faith and aolernn contracts,?contracts ai &l deliberately entered into by their chosen and authorized agents and cheerfully acquiesed in by themselves for many years! What are we coming to? If such doc- ai trines are tolerated what is to become of . our boasted freedom and boasted securi. Ir tv of rights ? It is difficult to believe that n< the Governor means what his language ~ seems plainly to express. The hanks of South Carolina nre the only hanks in the country, South or West ? of Now York, which seem to have been y wisely and faithfully administered.? ? Whilst all the other banks in this exten. Ul sive, populous and wealthy region refuse | specie for (heir notes, those of this state j B redeem theirs without hesitation whenev. j er they are presented ; and it is admitted on all hands that they are in a sound cops p dition. What more could any rational F< man ask or wish ? What ungrateful re. turn for such faithfulness, under trials whijh proved too severe for the hundreds II of other similar institutionst to be now reviled and persecuted. [j There are other passages of the mes- iJ sage which we intended to notice, but we L cannot do it now. \d A writer in the Charleston Courier re. commends the Hon. H. L. Pincknry for the Presidency of the S. C. College -r- ' The following paragraph states the fj grounds on which the recommendation ia based: 8 "Mr. Pinckney is now in literary retire, y ment; there he stands the victim of Whig vroHisaco andvrrucription \ Mr. Pinckney v w j ^ * . has dono and suff.-rcd much in the cause of the State, perhaps no man more so.

The reader will * notice that the recommendation of a can- t: didate for the Presidency of the college on l' these grounds come not from the Editors y of the Courier but from a correspondent. Mr. Clay, of Alabama, has resigned -f his seat in the U. S. Senate.

It destroyed two entire ^ squares in the business part of the town. n I, The Domocrats and Whigs being near- n ly balanced in one of the counties of Mass- a achusetts, and the balance of power being c in the hands of the abolitionists, one of j, the parties, it is not stated which, nomina- a ted a negro, who was elected. But there e being some informality in the election, it was illegal and void. A new election was " ordered, and the negro is again a candidate. If elected there is nothing in the constitution to prevent his taking his seat, which he says he will do. The following paragraph from the Southern Patriot, of Charleston, a Demo, ^ratic paper, will meet the approbation of considerate men of all parties. y * We perceive that eff>rtR are making to dissuade the Legislature from the acceptance of that portion of the proceeds of the Distribution Ad which will become due to South Carolina under its pro vision i. The pokey of such rejection we cannot comprehend.
