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

thesProfewors, but its morals have at the
Mine time advanced to a state of purity
and improvement, which it is believed lias
never jbcen surpassed, in the experience
. of this or any other seininnry. 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.

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.

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

the people against their own constituted C)
authorities, and against their plighted c<
faith and aolernn contracts,?contracts ai

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

so dear, who can ever forget the sacrifices ^

being some informality in the election, it
