Wo presume that tin- M?msage of hie Kxcolloucy fumUhen u probable index of the prominent topiceof lc ((illative atten tion during the pre*cut Session. Wo nrqd not invite our readers to au attentive peru aaloftbiedocument; we%ro satisfied that tho character of the author and of the mes sage itself will promptly command that much. It is a document worthy of the (iovemor, embracing a wide ran go of in teresting topic*, in a stylo unpretending, plain and forcible, peculiarly adapted to a State paper like thin; and breathing a spirit which liaa alwaya been prominent aaid ac tive in its influence over the political career of Governor Mtkina?ahold and uncompromising?a strict and devoted do ferico of Btato Kighta. We have not room to onlargo upon tho interesting subjects introduced to the attention of the L> gisla lure?and wo preaumo it to lie unneceasa ry. Discussion* will protahly arine upon M>me of its suggestion*, of which our rtu dora will duly informed. The h?.u*cs htivo d'tir little eUr, n? yet,' Chan organize themselves and refer the va rious portions of tl-.c mcsvagcto appropvi iU committee* J\'u(lonal Free ?SvAoo/t.?The pertinaci ty. ingenuity and onward zeal, with which J hat class of politicians who are devoted to the purpose of incre;uting the energy of the federal government hy means of oonstruc tion anil implication, is one among the pro mincnt " signs of the times." The old fslcrt.1 doctrine of a gradual annihilation of tho ntate government* in order to renter i the federal head exclusively paianiount and sovereign, assumes in this day a* many protean shapes as tho idle or vi cious dreauiN of |K>litic?l speculators can possibly invent; and without vigorous and uncompromising efforts on tho part of the real friend* of union and the constitution?! of tho original and real tonus of the fede ration, these multiplied schemes of modern commentaries and interpolations, are des tined to assume somo more solid shape and I dangerous agency over the happiness and liberties of the people We have |>een led to these remarks by an ingeniously written pamphlet of 23 octavo pages, which somv unknown hand has furnished us, urging j the importance of? 1st. National Free Schools. 2nd. The constitutional p wer of Con* gross to establish and patronise them. 3rd. Tho competency of tho resource* j of the Government, for these purposes. 4th. A plan, for tho accomplishment of | the policy. 0th. Tho advantages oflcrcd by the pre sent condition of the country for tho at-1 tainment of Uii? purpose ; and Otli. The pmbahlo effects of national free schools on tho government and gono ral interests of the union. Editors are solicitod to republish this pamphlet. We shall not do ho. It is too long, and too mistaken in its train of argu ment upon the main and important point of enquiry?the |>owcr of Congress to give life and form and energy to the visionary dreams of tluT writer. Tho following is| an example: " To common senso it would seem to l>e I an insult to contend, that the power to pro mote the general welfare and secure the hfossings of liberty, docs not include the power to adopt measure* which all must admit to he essential to these object*. Can it be denied that the general diffusion of knowledge is essential to the preservation of a government like ours, immediately! depending on public opinion V Ridiculous and extravagant as this rca soning may appear to mo*t of our readers, we are not sure that the broad mantle of| judicial construction which the Supreme Court has thrown around all the modern schcmes of " general welfare," may not cover it. That tribunal which tho sage of Montirello deliberately said, " is the in strument which, workiuflf like gravity, without intermission, is to preta us at last into one tonnoHtliitcil mas*,** has declared that every power vested in tho fOVem inont of the C nitod Stales, involve* a pow-1 er to employ " all the means which are ap propriate, and which are plainly applica Idr to the attainment of the end of such pow?f, and which is not prohibited by the Constitution ; and if a certain means to carry into etlect any of the powers of the government be afifiroftnatr, the tU^rrr of its necessity is a?|Uts.ionof legislative^* rretion, and not of judicial inquiry." Un der this derision, Congress have, undenia bly, a rartr hlnurfir, covering the most en tire omnipotence, as to all powers not ex pressly forhlthlrti. We should say, that "common sense" would dictate, if tho ex pros* language of the Constitution had not so ordained, that no other powers are ap portioned to the Federal Government, but Much a* are oxpn ?s|y enunfrated Such is not the fashionable dot tr..?e at this day ; and to our mi' sit is char, that, without the prompt and fearless interference of ihe original and sovereign parties "? the com |nct, consolidation in the Main, and fatal issue of affairs, in this It* ( uldic.

With inexpressible concent, we v.v in formed, that on Monday night last, our 'sister town,.Camden, Buffered a severe and most heart?rending calamity. We know uot whim (Mir feelings have been ao deeply aRl'cted, an upon reading tho. dis st reusing detail, which w? ?-j',jbin to thin article. Wo havo reason to behove that more than a third, approaching to a half, of tho commercial part <>T Camden, embracing a numlier of private establish ments on the back part of the squaroe, havo fallen a prey to the devouring elomeut.? Many of tho m<mt worthy uion of that moat respectable town aro among the sufferera. Who can repress his sympathy on such su occasion 1 No town ill the Union presents a more forcible claim to it than Camdun. During the period which " tned men'* souls," we cannot forget, that Camden and the adjacent country, literally suffered1 martyrdom in tin* holy cause of our Inde pendence. It has ever l>een an uuohtrusivo place in relation to public bounty orl>ene volence. Its wealth has occurred from tho unlive industry ami enterprise of it* peo ple. It ha* attracted much of the wcnltli of a neighboring State, otherwise lout lo im, and added it to the treu?ure* of South Carolina ; and now tliut the hour of sudden hiuI ruinous calamity lias come??SJo 1/1/1 we are nure, will not require, that any cold calculations should measure ltd claims upon (lie Treasury of the State. The Sovereign authorities are in Se??inn, and they tt>o truly ivprcsent the character ami feeling of their constituents, to require any presumptuous suggestion from it*.? We trust too that if occasion i> quires, the town of Columbia will need no prompting lo eftrcutc the general impulses of the heart. I Wc add a hasty letter from a citizen of Camden which a friend has been kind enough to place in our hand*: " Camtr/rn, .Nov 26/A, 1829.

Illack. I have uover heard of his holding on oflice of profit: Certainly ho has uot made his living in that way. In thtso times of office-hunting, and olQco holders, it is refreshing to meet with on old man who has received or oskod nothing from the Ktnte ; and in. UlQJpiniiiil cawit is more striking, because flu* wortliy old Gentleman, who Iish liwn in the legisla ture for more than twenty yeur>>, baa, du ring that time, struggled w ith nil Imputa ble poverty, and eacli miccckmvo year has come 4o the discharge of his public dutiea, with hand* hardened bytho toil which was ncccssary to support his family. His am bition seems to have been, to do good in his day and generation, aud to enable his children to do so in theirs, by gi ving them a liberal education, which, with his good name, is the only legacy lie can l>c<|ucat|i to Ihoui. No nmn I tax over been a more uniform and consistent politician of the good old republican school than Mr. Ulack. Through evil report ond through good, whether h:< principles wore triumphant, a* in 1?15, or promrihed, as in 1822- -3, it was the same thing to hiin. His course linn Ikiph straight forward, and when it lend h::n to the cr?*i> of the last year, ho neither stopped < r turn ed aside, neither hlenehed or hesitated. hut the name spirit which carried him. a strip ling, into the milks, was avowed and pr?? claimed hy him n our renewed contest for lilierty. I know it has been tho fashion to censure Mr. Black ,ns a narrow-minded politician. It was the fashion to call a great many hy that name. Hut really it does not seem to consist of a narrow-mind ed or selfish turn of character, thai he has been so long in public, without asking for money, that he has narrowed Mill closer his narrow means, to enable him to educate Ins children : that he lias never desorted his friends in their reverses, t:r taxed them iii their good fortune, and that, on tw?| occasions lately, where the (|uesiion was of mere gratuitous appropri.ition, an appe;ii to generosity anil high feeling, he was found amongst the most anient in urging i a donation to the ChiUI of Jefferson, and I in oflering thai' noble instance of sympathy j with which thn kindness of tho legislatui<;' sought to mitigate the harshness of its duty, j when it passed upon a veuorablo public j xcrvaiit. As to Mr. lMuck's compc'eney to fill the offi? e ol comptroller general, I Imve no douht. An honest heart nnri it strong clear head, qualify a man for almost any station. In this office * judgment at id sagacity are more requisite, than manual dtxterity. It is an office f'f supervision : its business is to see, that ministerial officers do their duty. The previous knowledge required, is that of the financial laws of the state, and the mode of administering then. Subjects with which Mr. Hlack hat been familiar for twenty-five years. Without disparaging the gentlemen who have heretofore filled the office, I will venture to vay, tlmt none of them, for many years ptsf, have hern more conversant with the fiical affairs of the State?have beeitendowed with ? juster judgment?* more vigorous common sense, more practical habits, or a more uctive, seme of duty ; and I venture to predict, that if he is elected, his administration of the office will be decidedly marked with an energetic, judicious and practical charac ter.

From the South, the President Ii.ik received a magnanimous and generous confidence in advance, founded upon a natural and cor dial respect for his uniform gallantry ? n 1 liberal and unwavering reliance on his I oouud judgment, hi* devotion to the (!on? jNtitution, and hi* pure and elevated patri otism. Nothing hut the in??t painful ik* velopemcnt* in hi* opening message can shako that confidence, or endanger our i long-cherished attachment*. We will not anticipate that unwelcome iiccesaity. What is In lie done upon the Tariff, who I can divine t At present, it io a peculiarly | moio'mtmui nuhject. It i?, and ha* been, | ingeniously interwoven with various oilier : point* of leading policy. It ha*complete ly organised throe *ection*, of even vari ant interest*, in combination against one, and that one the richest and the mn*t pow erleaa. Formerly, protection, through the Tariff, win directed to the interests of the manufacturer* al< ne; and thott* the manu facturer*, who had administered to the pressing vie^e^sitie* of the country in a pc riodofthe utooat eofaamament. New adv*niur< r* u?*s since availed IbeMtWra of a generosity directed to others, and have preyed, in an era of good feeling, upon tho yielding liberality of the community. Par ty tactics have engrafted u tar u* poosiblo u|K>n the Tariff interest, that of Internal Improvement; have thrust In, the insidious, ami |?alpably unjust project, of Mr. Dick innon ofN.

Southern States. There U a now Congress to consi der those momentous subjects, and they havo now liehld to guido them. Thoy havo before them tho most unkind opera tion, upon the, manufacturing interest it ?elf, of a policy which wjS Attended to be fostering and parental.
