Mr. Editor: T!ic above maxim u'as forcibly r
called to my mind by a perusal of 'be O'li'o-inis ;
bf a few of f Tie last run e !ko "Sbulh Cam
linian;" a paper ediiol as you know, Ifcv U;a* j
ijnm'osce ice of consistency a id democracy, A. <
II. Pkjjbertos- Whether the articles to which ,
I-allude, illustrate the beauty and truth of the f
maxim, I shall not now undorlakeio determine? f
but they are in some way so intimately connected. N
* with it, that I must beg the liberty of introducing1 c
them, specially to the notice of yourself and tea-1 r
dere. Before I do so however, justice to myself {
requires me to state distinctly, that I am not a J
whig, and at the same time, honest requires me J
j__i? ?i.?, i ,, "v.-tmlo hotr" democra*, c
TO ueuiarc mat am Uw.. n
according to Mr. Pernberton's ideas and princi- 1
pies. ||
Having premised this much, I will now (
ask attention to an article.in the SouMi Caroli. j
nian 01" the 2d inst. on the subject of a bill then .'
abont to be broughtbefore the Legislature pro- .,
posing to give tlie election of Governor to the 1
people; in which the learned editor repudiates ^
that project, and denounces it as an innovation, ,
to the consequences of which, he looks "with
> great dread." Now, whether this danger is dc- "
scriable or not, it is not my purpose to discuss. I
cannot however, forbear one passing remark?
I do not foresee the "dreadful consequences" of j
such a change, which seem to strike the mind of.
the editor with such apprehension and horror? |
one thing in connexion with the matter,does strike '
me wit h great force, and I apprehend will lie quite J
obvious to every one. Such eha:igc, if effected, 1
wouldhsbt suit the convenience, nor perhaps the t
taste or principles of the sapient editor and a few t
of his democratic brethren, who for some years, t
have constituted themselves a political junto and je
controlling dynasty in the State, and elevated r
whom they pleased, to the gubernatorial chair, \
without ever putting th.c " dear people" to the | i
trouble of thinking 011 the subject, at all. And t
this practice ton, it is evident, meets the entire 1
approbation of the editor; as it will be seen from c
his paper, that lie anxiously desires an immediate t
nominatioaof a successor to the present incum- 1
bent. ' 1
But that portion of the editor's lucubrations to , f
which I particularly invite attention, is the con- j r
eluding paragraph of ?he article in question?1(
Mtiiere. havin? become warm in the discussion of 1
his subject, and grandiloquent in language and,';
expression, lie speaks as follows?with how much '?.
relevancy to his subject, is not for me to say:? | ^
"Change, change, change," may do for the whigs ' \
?and has done for thorn?but let the democrats t
: 1
and true friends of public temperance, law and ! 5
order beware of it." j
Now, all this is very well, and with it, in the r
main, I concur. I do think, as a general rule, it 1
is much the best policy to "let iccllalnns." But I 1
fear the doctrines inculcated by the editor to which j v
I am about to refer, will not be found to maintain j j
the consistency of the editor in this matter. The ; \
first evidence of this, to which I would refer, is i i
an articlfe in his paper of the 9th inst. captioned j:
as follows, and which I have transcribed at1 c
length:? [ t.

our own part we have no kesita'ion in answvin<r t
in the negative All history shows that Judicial
Decisions, in such cases, are not favorable to lib- :
crty. We therefore surest the propriety of an 1
Appeal, in all such cases, from the Judiciary to the r
Senate?
Now, Mr. E lifor, I would seriously inquire if i
this docs not look like a desire to change? Does i
> this manifest a disposition on the part of the edi- I
tor to " let well alone? Or, does it not con'ein- I
plate a total extermination of the "/j'Zwr/y" of <
all minorities? I had thought our Judiciary sys- ?
^tem worked well, and ever regarded its entire <

rindepepaence, aim w..^ r__
those 'frequent political excitements which pre- '
vail amongst the people, and which is incident i
to (and perhaps a great advantage of) our very
t form of government, as one of tiie grandest feaf
' !' '
ures'of our system, and the very pivot on which
ur liberty necessarily depended. I still think 60
Korean the decision of Judge Butler, on the Banh
lucstion, or of the Appeal Court in confirmatior
if it, ever change that opinion. On the contrary,
hese will only give it strength. They will go
ar to. satisfy me, that with a well regulated Juliciary
system, our liberty is safe. It is true,
t may not suit the policy, interest or desire of
he editor, who seems disposed to apply the guil~

.t all events, to sacrifice them, politically, to his
engcance, to permit his views however mad
ind perverted, to be thwarted in any particular;
mt I must call upon him to recollect that the
(reservation of minorities is one of the primary
mds? of government. Majorities can always take
:are of themselves?and to preserve the rights
?f a minority, experience has shown an indepenlent
Judiciary is the chief, if not the only means.
3u', my word for it,.make flic Judiciary subser'ieut
to the Senate, who, however wise, virtu>ns
and intelligent, (and my experience and obcr/S'ion
of the Senate of South Carolina for
rear?, enables me to cay few bodies on earth
vould be entitled to greate^confideticc,) arc yet
ircccsnrily subject to the same influences and
c:ci:e:;jo:i s which atlect -the great mass of the >
p!o, a yd hlerty s gone, and one of the mo.-'
latOitii tyrannies is substituted. In the true and
doque.it language of one of ihe Sena'ors of the
.recent senior.,' (Mr. lluger,) "a system of
hecks?such as exists in South Carolina, is es
ential to the preservation of liberty"?And, I
viil add, enc ef the safest and purest of these .
:hecks is an independent Judiciary, -Subject to i
10 other control Uian impeachment for misconlect,
&c.
But again: 'The editor would, it seems, draw
i distinction between legal and political quesions;
being willing to allow an appeal only in
he latter to the Senate. Now, Fshould like to
iccr tlie learned editor's illustration of the disinction
between a political and legal question;
nid by what process of argument he would show
he B uik question to be of the former character.
To^ my humble conception, it is purely a legal
pics' ion, and so I think the Legislature and his
Excellency the Governor have regarded it.?
Will the editor enlighten us fcvhis'vicws on the
subject? Upon the whole, we do think the cdi- ]
or has not practiced on the warnings he adrninsters
to his friends?"hut let the democrats and
rue fritrnls of public-touiperance, law and order
jeware of" change.
But let us proceed to another article, viz: one
n the same paper, headed, "Tiie College PreilDENCY."
Under this head, the editor, in his usual abiliy
at profound declamation, speaks of some atempt
which had been made to elect Col. Preson
President of tlic College; which, lie says, had j
xci'.ed considerable feeling, but that the matter
ippcarcd to have been "dropped as an outrage that
vould not be tolerated." lie then goes on to sav
n reference to die subject: "We warn the public.
o beware of it; and those engaged in it, to bevarc
of the consequences. Should they sue*
:ocd in such an outrage upon public feeling, j
here are those in the Legislature, ay, and strong
jien too, who would even move to withhold the
jsual supplies from the institution, till the nuisance
was abated." Now, I would respectfully
tsk the editor if this does not look like change?
?an he point to the time when it ever entered
lie brain of any legislator, much less was it ever
ittempted to refuse supplies to this favored in;titutior,
because a Professor was elected, whose
lolitical tenets were not in accordance with the
-lews of the reigning dynasty. I apprehend
hat the attempt to find a precedent, or any tiling (
inalagoue, would be rather a difficult enquiry? 1
very well recollect a time when some move- i
ncnt was made in the Legislature against the 1
ate Dr. Cooper, that the jiarty to which I had the
lonor to belong, were very indignant, because
ve supposed the opposition to him arose from '
political considerations. God knows, however, 1
vhcre our indignation would have found vent, if ,
t had been proposed to refuse-the usual sup- |
tiles to the College on account of his filling the; 1
lifire of President. I believe .Mr. Peinher'or, j
hoii"h in ano'hcr S-.nir, was at that time, "one

and to the injury and ruin of many of her ,
>ons, rather than expend towards its support, the i
tsual supplies, merely because one of the Facllty,
in one or two particulars, did not, political- '

his would not be change, I know not what
tvould be. Verily, verily, I think Col. Peinber?

The Lynchburg Republican says: We regret,
to learn that two sons ol Mr. Thomas McKen- 1
ney, of this place, one about twelve and the other
al.out nine years of age, died some two or
three days since, in consequence of drinking too 1
freely of ardent spirits. The circumstances are ,1
detailed to us as follows: j'
"Two youny men from the country, bro'herr, 1
by the name of liarri", after reaching the Dirt (\
bridge, with the r car:, on their way home, con- J
eluded to return to town to attend lo seme bu- j
siness which they said they had neglected. The '
above-named beys, being near at hand, were re- 1
ques.ed to take care of the cart and contents for 1
a short time?the young men giving them some '
gingerbread as a compensation and, pointing to a 1
keg ofspiri's, told them to help themselves u '
they desired it. A sl.ort time af erwards one of (
(lie boys was found dead hav.ng taken too large a '
draught from the kef.l This was on Saturday (
ihc IJO li October. The other survived until j
Sunday morning, when he also expired! The '
young men were examined before several mag- '
isirates of this place on Sunday evening, and.!
discharged." i

GOtTRXOR'S MESSAGE, .No. 2.
Fcllcno Citizens of the Senate,
and of the IIcvsc of Representatives.
I herewith transmit a.Report of the Attorney

isijMi'c against the 'JJanbp refufriiv' to nccon*
he provisions of the Act to prevent the eurncndon
of specie psymen's.
It is to be regret/ed that the convent",re or
Counsel irr behalf of these Institutions, did not
;crmit the ncrcp'.auco of the 'mo tendered, -for
he Goal adjudication of the (|ue-r:en, during.4 be
irepeat session of the Court of Appeal", in this
dace.
To resori, hov/evsr, at this thaw; to aajhothc'r
mode of senior, thot might I.e supposed to supersede
the decision of a learned and enlightened
fudici.ary, would perhaps be regarded by some
is inconsistent with the wisdom-and equity cf
he law; ar I trust, it will prove unnecessary in
he at'ainrpent of the object. There is nothing
n the character of the judicial proceedings which
rave been instituted, so far as they have progressed,
to forbid cur entertaining the hope that
he law and i's functionaries aref adequate to assert
the right of a sovereign State to maintain a
wise and provident supremacy, in correcting the
jvils of a deranged currency, or the abuses of its
chartered institutions.
I would therefore suggest, that a resource to
my of the -various and effective modes of changng
the issue now pending in out Courts, should
ie forbcarningly de'erred until it has been ascertained
by its" decision, to what extent these,
nstitutiens arc subject to the control of ourState
Government. In the mean time, one of the
main objects of the law has already been attain3d.
The discussions which it has elicited have
3n!igh'c:)cd public opinion. The Banks so wisely
accepting its provisions, haveriren it the confidence
of the people. It has exercised a salutary
influence upotrcur currency,and; indirectly,
perhaps, upon tbe business and transactions of
the recusant, as well fee of'Mie cor "brining institutions.
Nor can I divest myself of the hope, that
time, when experience Iris shoyr'n that it enacts
no sacrifice of interes* or of profi% from any of
bcr iilstituMons, that the patriotism and public
spirit \vbicli they have manifested on rill other
nccasiou?, will yet. induce them to desire to
conform to'lie wishes and policy of. the State,
and to re; ofc their trust in its penerous confidence,
rather than in the uncertain technicalities
of the law. ' * . .
I also transmit lite accompanying Report of
the officers of the South Western Ilni) Road
Bank, together with a statement of tlie.aTairs of
i's several branch.r?, annual! J required by the
3 h section of i's charter to be presented for the
consideration of the Legislative.
By a Reso'.u ion of "t'no Legislature, in December
las', it was made the duty of the Executive
to. transfer the *itle of this S'.nie io a certain
lot of land which had bee \ proposed o be surveyed
by 'he Government of , the United'Spates,
with the view tot,he erec ion-of Fori, Sum er ?
A copy of the conveyance, which I am now prepared
io erecu'e, is herewi h transmitted, apd
has only been delayed, un'ii this time, that I
miidr prose.it for yyur consideration two dPffcul
ties which I presume have l.oen casna'iy overlooked
iii your in.srucLioits 10 thi-s Depar ruent
By reforeace 'o an Act of ITfl-, it will bo
found that the transfer of such titles can only
be authorized by enactment, and not Ivy joint
Resolu'ions. I would thererore surest thai
Ihe au'horiiy be.convcyed to the Eaecu'ive, in j
'ha/form, or by an Act f/rmally, to conJirm ti.e
Lille which I am "now prepared to convey. By
he Resolution of the Legislature, it lias also
icon re paired, '.hat the right' of exercising its
urisdiction.in certain cases should be reserved
o our State Government; and in thcaccompaayng
deed of cesisort, which I have caused to be
prepared, this has been made, as cautiously as
possible, the condition precedent to the Act. By
he Federal Consiitu'i&n, however,- it is required,
lint, all territories ceded to the Government, for
tertnin enumerated purpose?, (of which the
;rectinn of Forts is one,) shall he under i.s cxrlusiye
jurisdiction. It is true, by a la'w.ofConrrcss,
and the usage of ilia Government, lorr.fr)ncs
have some'noes been received from the
States for other purposes than those enuineratjd
in the Constitution, and o;i co ulitious inconsistent
with the clause to which I have alluded.
I am satisfied, however, that the' Government

lave ins ruc'Cil me the annex. i therefore, subiiit
it to your w.sdoin to de'erm.ne,. how far
ihosc conditions weuid be available to theJState,
n the event of the acceptance of the transfer
rou now propose to tender, or be overruled by
:hat exclusive jurisdiction prescribed in the Constitution
lor the exercise of Federal authority,

I have now 'o request that you will appoint a

Extract from the Log of the brig Creole, which vessel
arrived here this morning.?

other passengers, besides manufactured tobacco: ' r
On tlie 7th of November, at 8 P. 31., the brig wcb- t

Abaco, next day. After the passengers, and such ;
of the crew, as were not'on* duty, had turned iter."

defence was or could have.been made, as nei- ^ J
.tlier. papper.pom^or crew were prepared for fucIi
an attack,''and there was hut one musket on hoard
while .the slaves had pistols, koives, and blud- - ,t
freons, made by cutting up hand-spikes,, ft was.
thought the whole'plot was contrived before theygS|[
left Richmond. After ob'ainihg command of the :
j vessel, the slaves broke open trunks, and ran- 1
sacked every where. They, however, spared
the fives oF. the surviving pa=se*igcrp, mate,, and
others; on condition they should lie taken to an ^
English Island.
The Creole arrived at Nassau, N. P., on the
fl'h Nov. The Consul of I he United.Slates had'!
the Captain and two of tlio jrndn irn*nddiii'.ely'ta- ^ x
ken on shore, and their woupdfl (Tressed.;, The -r*
Govenor of Nassau whs Tcqneirteid to place a ' guard
on board; to prevent' the slaives'going oti

Perceiving his.premises'thus invaded, ho.took ' *

entered the lower extremities of one of the ag-f

man, cook, of the barque Baptfafe -Mezick,
were arrested in Philadqiphia a few days since
on the charge of having'abducted a slave from -.'vVNew

"that in concert with the cook, the mate . *

? Death?Groans,
convulsions, weeping friends, t?.
and the like, show death terrible; yet there is no
passion so weak but conquers the fear of it; and
therefore death is not s-ucli a terrible enemy.?
Revenge triumphs over death, love slights it,*
honor aspires to it, dread of rJnme prefers it, (-'
grief flies to it and fear anticipates it.

An Amusing Br.under.?Some years ago a
bill was reported in the Ac v.- Vork House of';
Assembly entitled "An act for tire preservation ^
of the heathen.and other game." Tlie Speakorof
the Jlousc, who was. probably not much
of a sportsman, gravely read if, "An act for. tho
preservation of the Heh'hfea an.l other game,"
a blunder of which ho was unconscious until
