CALIIOUN, Sec'ry. tl | Sept. 11, 1856. a [for tiik INDr.rENOENT l'rksh.] The South Carolina College. 0 The opposition to this noble Institution, now prevalent in certain quarters, is evidence of two things, namely : The exist- ^ ?a ..-i :? - vm,D oiiu u|)iien?mg)t amongst U8 OI low- " down deraagogueiBm, in the first place ; 01 and a most egregious error, that of con- u' founding the abuso with the use of a thing, iu the second. " Let us look at the second first. A pro- Jfessor of religion, a member of a Christian * ' Church, is ft great rascal?a hypocrite? t( anything you please but a pious man. Is n that any argument against religion?against h the Church,to which he belongs? But that '* is the sort of argument which great statesmen?men called upon for their opinions upon this subject?candidates for the Leg* o islature?use, by which to gull the people. n Such as have any sense at all know better ^ than this, and it is sheer hvnocrisv in them ? - fc( to use it Carried out in form, tlio argu- y ment is this : There are three out of every ii five, say, for instance, wlio graduate in this I' College, who turn out good-for-nothing g I members of society?who strut, sit and n loaf about tho country, and our villages, I and cities, nuisances rather thai*. useful citi- k zens?who, in fact, consume the fruits of a others' labor without contributing an iota c towards producing those frujts thernefilves. ^ Hence, the argument that roe College is p useless. But does it require a grain , of p sense-to see that the College U not-to be '' blamed for this, any more than the Church, J or religion, is to be blamed' for bad mem- _ bers ! The cause for thia is to be found at ? the doer of parents. Let parents cram tbeir a sons' pockets full of money and send tbem ? to any college, before they are men?before they hare beatd'OA their faces?before they have ever taught them to work at hofoe at tome useful employment^-ltsfore they have . ever taught them the use of money?and ^ the important leseon," -which most parents ...? .1 -II . uvit irovvr mwuu urcif uuiiuiou nv oil) niftl |j tabor, and conAUbtJabor. at that, of some n kiod, at aprae honorable employment, is 0 the moet respectable atyl? of dim?let all ? tbie be doneo-aod all tbia ia all the go s bow?and any body might know In advance a that the NMtt oT^tould be jut sach 3 member* ofta * Let tbe contrary coone ta pursued. Let pareoUkaeptbMr otiMrwi ?? bom^ tifl th*y .t ortlwolyor tt7?nty-ott?, tcaobiof timo m j the nieantinfo, not only"ty work, bat lo A- 5 * i * :sult in their collegiate education. Now, for the first point. The dema- 1 ogueisin in the use of such an argument 1 i the nbove, is too apparent to require even n attempt at refutation. Who does not ?c its absurdity ? But yet men are to be >und who use it, evidently to create wind y which to get into office. Whether it ill answer their purpose remains to be :en. We are of those who believo in the ivine judgment of the people; that is, hen that judgment is formed maturely and ] eliberuteiy. The people are sometimes led ilo errors by just Rich fellows as those ho use the above argument; but they are ot slow to detect it, and when they do de:ct it, they not only corrcet it, but kick lose who led them into it out of place. It is one of the vilest things that the lodcrn tendencies of our State have given irth to?the puny effort, which is being lade, to breakdown the College, which, it ;ems to us, every son of South Carolina, hether an alumnus or no, ought to suslin and perpetuate?for the good which it as done?for the good which it is doing? nd th.-.t which it is calculated to do. Look t. the iii.-my noble men it has sent forth, ho are now battling for our richU, not I nly in the halls of Congress, but at home, round the fire-side, in places of trust, n the farm, in the pulpit, on the bench, round the bed-side, at the bar, and wherv-er you look, into whatever field of labor lat is useful and honorable, you will find not few of the graduates of the South Carolia College. Break tho College down, ineed ! If either had to bo done, it would e much better for posterity, in our judgment, to break the necks of those misguided len, (not to call them by a hnrdcr name,) ho are trying to do this, than to do, if ou could, so wicked and unpatriotic n ling. The cry that the Col lego is a tax to I lie tate, and therefore, ?fcc., is too base for ?petition, much less for a serious array of icts to refute it. Look into this, and you ill 6nd that those who make the greatest oisc on the tax subject, pay hardly a cant f tax into the treasury. The rry about its being a College for le rich and not for the poor, is equally ase and untrue. If the lists of those who ave graduated there within the last tweny years bo examined, it will be found that ?e larger number have been the sons nf: omparatively poor parents. Anil besides, ?c expense of graduation at this College is ot a whit greater, leaving the board out, ;an at any other respectable college, anil je board is to be attributed to the place, nil not to the College itself. For these, and other reasons which at nee suggest themselves to all wlio serious* think upon this subject, we say, let the lollego stand, and let it be perpetuated. ,et it be the last thing to be torn down of hat our fathers built up. If tbe time has ome when we have to cease to be the State of South Carolina" in the sense in 'hich these words were used and underntnivl i the days of Calhoun, Harper, McDuffie, [ayne, Legare, and a host of other worries of glorious memory, let ibis remain > posterity .1 monument of what we were, nd a worse than the curse of Cain he upon im who would rudely joBtlc ?i singlo brick 1 its noble structure. A Caiiolinian*. Crack Shots. A trial of skill between two "crack shots" f our city, came off day before yesterday, t the ranch "of T. O. 8elby, Esq., below the I street levee. The shooting was between )r. Downes and T. O. Selby, with the Docor's Wesson rifle?distance two hundred ards, at a target of two and a half inches 1 diameter. They fired ten shots each, 'ive of Selby's were centre shots; and ould bo covered with a rlim? 1 thA ve ranged from n half to three quarters of n inch from the centre. Nine ?f Dr. )owncs' shots were centre shots, all bro en in together, and could be.covered with half dollar; the whole ten shots could be overed with a dollar. This-was such shooting as we never saw cfore, and the marksmen may well be iroud of it. The Doctor has borne the >alra for years as being the best rifle shot n the State, but Selby crowds him nar owly, and tbe fact that tbe rifle was tbe )octor's favorite rifle and new to Selby, nve tbe Doctor a slight advantage. The )octor is ready to challenge any man or ny two men in tbe State; to shoot against telby and himself anv distance from 100 ? IjOOO yards, for a tpousand dollars. We hould like to see tbe challenge taken. i CaliforniaHimerican. ' ^ t ^ '?< ? i That is a beautiful figure of Win thro p's d .reference to our .Constitution where be ays i .f n .f t /! ' * f.r.
