If we could set aside or set at rest the war daily and hourly waging against us by the North, the people of tho South would still bo compelled to decido a moot t. V ?a ?- - yjiui question. And that is the question of belf government. Can thay, under any circumstances, abandon the right and practice of self govemucnt ? Durst they do no! CWn they forget that they hovo duties to discharge, as well as rights to deteodf Durst they hide from themselves the fact that iuon and oitixeus came before thi'ui, and that men and citizens are to como after them and that they are but the trustees of those two generation* holding tho muniments of rightund invested with t tho power toadniini?ter faithfuly their trust? What becomes of the great boast of the cis?Atlantic Anglo? Norumn-the syno nyiue of liberty?self government, when we arc iu a fixed minority in House and Senate ? Gone, uttorly swallowed up and lost, and no more to be numbered except with tho things that were. Our ancestor? contended, and fod<jht, and bled, and conquered fur it; tbey left. it to us as our most precious heritage ; can we consent to yield it r.p, and take the merited curses of posterity? If we can do this, shall we not sanction and verify nil of evil that the North has so frcufy been laying ut our doors? Hut not oaly is our self-government nt un end iu some of the leading objects of political association, but those who arc to govern us proclaim the divine right of doing wrong whenever wnat they oull pop. ular opinion on a ins it to be done. They are the avowed champions of absolute government; tbey scorn all limitations, human or divine. They have no oonoeption of that "liberty, that with right reason dwells ' twinned, and l'rout her bath no dividual bring," They scorn constitutional re-1 attaint*. Tbey mock at tho check*.b?ian-' ocs and impediments of fundamental law. Their ideal of government is tho absolutism of demagoguery. Such are tho bands , into which we have fallen! Thero is one way of rotrardiug tho ne-' ce&arj change that we contemplate, that j astonishe.* me, as proceeding from presses ! undoubtedly faithful to our country. That is the supposition, that anarchy and disorder must grow out of a scission of the Union There is no likelihood of this.

Few ofl&cee wonld need changing; few incumbents would need removal.

SOUTHERN FORBEARANCE. The forbearance of tho Southern people hat become proverbial 1 It has boon thoroughly tested for a long aeries of years, and by every means that Northern ingenuity could invent Verily, if this alone is proof of virtue, they a-** of all men rnorf virtuous. No other people on tho face of the earth would have borne sc quietly and for so long a time, even from the hands of their acknowledged masters, tho bur nens, injuries and insults, which the North has inflicted upon the South, whilo the me ans ol righting themselves wore in their reach. Tistho nature of the meatiest worm to turn and sting the foot that treads u|?on it, and the instinct of the whole animal creation tndfftnd themselves from their enemies. History furn ishes no record of a people so indifferent to their own happiness and well being, so utterly lost to virtue,aud so insensible, to shame, as to manifest no concern for the preservation o! natural and inalinenble rights, and laugh at their own calamities. Men have waged long ond bloody wars with their fellow-men foi causes far more trivial than those for which the South complains, and have been sustained by the good and the wise. May we not have reached that fatal " point at which forbearance to he a virtue " ? Equal*, in all rospects wi'h our Northern brethren, wo entered into a bond of Union with them, in which mutual rights were fully guar' an teed, and haud in hand went forward to the glorious work of building up this great Republic. Without stopping to count the coat. 01 estimate the dangers, the South, in every emergency, eagerly hastened to the rescue ol the North from foreign foes, and lavishly exrUMwl/wl tcnoaHro C. , tV* ' ..... IUI M1V (.vmniui1 ^UWl.? She ha* never suffered the call of the common country to pn?s unheeded, nor limited on the way of duty to inquire wheihor North or South would roap'tho greatest good. The North has meanly taken advantage o( her National apirit. If an exhausted treasury demands that soma financial scheme should he devised for the purpose of replenishing the Coffers of the General Government ?Northern cupidity and Yaulceo ingenuity suggests at once some slupeudons swindle upon tho South in the shape of Protective Tarriffs- If the South, notwithstanding tariff*, marches on to prosperity under the protecting shield of the Constitntiouf?the " higher law " is made to ntcuMn tk* Constitution, that her prospenty may frel the blight of Abolition. |f thecoun try liecomes involved in war, the South must pour out its blood and tresauT* to purchase peace, and add to the common domain, while Northern fanatics bowl, in anticipation, theii horrid requiems over her gallant sons, " we! coining them to bloody bands and inhospitable graves." In the disposition of the common p-opcrty in the petronage of the general government in all the advantages accruing frost thellnfot of the States, the North takes the lion's share while in the burdens, the dangers, and the disadvantages, the South has no competitor ? In every contest between the two sections ?h< South beS lost?the North gained. Surely, if we have submitted tbas far to tin equal legislation, and an warrantable interfer nee in order to Utt the extent of oar ewi forbearance, the end. is accomplished?tin object getned, and there is no further neceasit; for the practice of this virtno.

For several years the "Vox pops!!" has ' been crying out fur and demanding a change , in the manner and style of educating Females, j Nov, at the beginuiug ut' this article, we wish " to ht understood, and understood clfarly. We ; advocate, with all our puny might, that all ! Females should be educated, and educated 1 '? well. They should he educated iu such a * manner that, their schooling finished, they should be prepared to take coinmiiud of a t household and rear up a family to the honor i- their country >.pd to the glory of God. One y of our most gifted statesmen writes that " the r futnrg destiny of thin country lies with the mothers of the land/'and it needs no sylogistia ! 1 argument to prove this ; this has, in a measure, e beet) accomplished by the organization of, i, Female Colleges, Universities and Seminaries b gl! around us. The good old fashioned school r bus been abandoned, aud nothing but a Cob s lege, or at least a Seminary, will suffice to - contain the hooped aristocracy of the present s day. We believe that the present system of educating Females is totally rotten. At the ' Seminary they are taught that labor is die- j honorable, that idleness is the insignia of high j i breeding. The public opinion of their fellow j ' students demand it, or they'll be thought poor. ' t How often hna the confiding, artless maiden, ( in the short space of on* v?*ar. Wn I m J ~~ ; [ intoa heartless, plotting, foshionable coquette, i who, when she left for school, was the joy and f pride of the family, and returned almost i j ashamed of her hard working father and brothi ers. We believe that these faahionuble Semii j nnries of learning ruir. a girl, mentally, physi. r cally, and in a great ru^ny cases cut the silver cord that keep them near to the throne of God. First, their mind is ruined by the style of books i that generally flood these Seminaries, and instead of applying themselves diligently dur ing study hours, they arc generally poring ) over some loTe-sick novel, and never think of > their task until the bell calls tbero to recitai tion,'iivu their wits are put to work to hud a P way to ehr*U the teacher; These and other \ wrongs they deem right, for they arenot taught 1 to tlio contrary, or rather it is the custom of > the place, and upon leaviug school how often do we bear young ladies say that their rduraI Won w Jhttohtil, and they now fold their hands i and Id "silks and satins" wait to he picked v up by the first !ight-hraded, fine-dressed Jacksknapesthet may propose,and they pass through i life the blind loading the blind. > Secondly, they arc also ruined, physically, . atth^e fi?."l\jonuble Seminaries. We art told i by every medical writer that exorcise is just as . necessary to health as food is to life, and at ' these Colleges the young ladies spend all their spare time, cooped up reading the light litemf lure of the da >r adding some new feature to meir iiniaMS x-arty rising is cot of the question, unless by compulsion, and then tight lacing to render tUb form agreeable to the sight i Wc will only quote Dr. Mussey in his lectures on intemperance, ho ..ays: 41 Greater numbers annually die among the female sex, in coti.sc ' quence of tight lacing, than are destroyed among the other sex by the use of spirituous liquors in the same time." Dr. Todd, principal ( of sn insane retreat, in comparing the self tortures of the ancient, and the devotees of fash ion makes this remark, "they possibly I , might Lire passed a dagger too deeply into , the heart and died : but they never drew a ligature of suffocation around it. and expected i to live.

How cheering must the present aspect of affairs be to those how*t " co-operatiotiists " of 1850, who insisted upon the Union of the Southern States, as a necessary umjj indispensihle condition to the action of South Carolina in Resistance to Northern aggressions I The South is nnited! united beyond the most sanguine expectations qf the most hopeful of us ail. Perhaps every Southern citizen, without exception, is not agreed as to the mode and measure of resistance proper to be adopted, nor every slave-holding State prepared to stnud upon the same platform, uor.do we imagine such a result enn ever be attained. Surely our co-operation fitends did not mean to teqnire this! They meant only such unanimity as that which now prevails?that would render ,1.. ? ? - ?uu muuii oorn eminent and safe. To quibble At such a time would have been unworthy <?f Caroliuians. But, wo repent it, co-operation i?i secured. From tbo Potomac to the Rio Grande ono univereal yentiment animates the popular mind, nnd one voice proclaims the determination to yield no more to abolition rapacity. The remedy is well understood. But how terrible, on the other hand, nmat^Jj^^Lu be the disappointment of thoee, who, at heart ^RKL^P advocating the u Union as it is" at all baazards,demanded this co-operation merely as a subterfuge, deeming it a safe expedient by which to avoid any action at all ! In what, a dilemma are?hey placed ! The Union of the South, to their dismay,ia accomplished?their own terms complied with,?the bugbears in their path are slain, and every obstruction removed. The pledge! the pledge alone remains to be fulfilled. We believe that the present happy condition of sffhirs at the South is mainly attributable to the honest And zealous efforts of sincere co-operationists, and it is the duty of every good Southern man to strive with all his might to ceiuent tho Union of the South. The old secession pnrty is ready to follow,?it does aot ark to lend?in any measure which promisee success. All thnt it asks is, that the wny be pointed ont. ' Hot headed " and impetuous. as thej were thnu/ht to be, ,4the fire-eaters ,r of 1850, are somewhat behind their old opopenents now, hat are willing to be kept in the rear, so that they are still marching onn*inl.? Let the leaden then pgree upon the plan of the campaign and extend the orders. Let them draw up the plau now, for midgt the heat of the battle we cannot halt to hold councils of war. o^ MAIL PtfftANOKMENTS.

' o maT The " Busy Bee," that spicy littla paper, published in Charleston, S. C., soma time ago contained an article signed " A Traveller," calling attention to the fact that Southern papers were prevented front sale at the depots or on the road of the South Carolina Rail Road Company, which was pronounced to be untrue. The following, however, offers some confirmation to the statement of " A a Traveller." 7b tkr Editor of the Columbia Carolinian t Dsut 8m?Having noticed your editor*!,. in which yon responded to " A Traveller' in these woni?, "It is not True," end c*U uuon the York villi: paper* to do toe President, end R.
