The Palmetto Association. Wc extract frouj tlio (\trolinian, t!ie follow^ itij^ sketch of tho late Anniversary celebration of tliii Association, on the Mth inet.,-iu Columbia : The annivei'snry celebration oft'.ic Palmetto Association took place on yesterday, and was ? tlie ?yccnsion of a beautiful and imposing demonstration. Kiev u'.ing and most comnieiidable | in its design, it was tasteful and complete in its execution. We were pleased to notice that many ??l the places of business were closed during the celebration, as a mark of respect both 1" the gallant, dead and the honored survivors of the J'uhnrltocs. The procession, escorted by that fine body of soldiery, , the Volunti cr Battalion, passed j through several of the streets of the city, and finally reached the Court House scpiure, where a commodious awning had been prepared. The proee.-sion then divided, and proceeded to the , htaire in inverted order. On the stmre we no I tieed the Governor, Col. L. M. Keitt, mid tlio | remnant of i'alriiettOfs present?about 30 in i number. The Ju-lges, also, honored the oeea- i tjioii with their presence. The exercises opened with a beautiful earnest, rtn.l appropriate prayer from the Rev. Kobert \V. Uarnwell,-who, auioni: other things, benouglit the favor of Heaven upon the widows and orphans of those members of the Palmetto Kegimeul who 11ii* 1 fallen in llie cause of their country. The I'ret-idi-nt of the Association, W. H. Stan Icy, Esq., th'Mi introduced to the audience the Orator of tin: day, <M-n. .Samuel MeGnwun, of Abbeville?a man of line appearance and soldierly healing?who, in narrating things of which lie was a gival part, entered run tjiirilo fiuve expression to tin- sentiments <>1' liis truthful li-caTt. Like a gallant ship, with sails spread, and colors living, lie liure down upon liis subject, niul after grappling with it, withdrew 8iiillv. iiiniil the cries of the dying, and Vlie moans of I lie .sick. Of tin? living lie forbore to speak, Iml U> the dead of the regiment, lie ]>ai<i eloquent tributes. We fully intended to attempt a report of this very admirable ad?lres<, and tuok notes for that purpose, but we really feci that we would do injustice to the (irator, were we to undertake it. "We therefore await its publication in full, and j will only add, in addition to what we have already said, Unit the l'almctlu Regiment. has been happy in their select ion ufGeu. -MeUowau as their exponent on this occasion, Ttin f\, fl*A r..it - v...,.-, |'? v.ivuiii Wiiu nuiuw uiu complimentary notice of the Address : Were '.vo roc; u i re A to comprise all tliut we vould sny <;f the speech io one wonl. we would say that it was magnificent?magnifi oent in conception?magnificent. in adaptation (/. r. to the occasion)?magnificent in expression and magnificent in the delivery.

It was, in truth, a noble production?a just tribute to the patriotism and the services of the gallant hand which so honorably represented the State. It was, in short, a noble theme and it was nobly executed, and we hope it will be obtained for publication, in pamphlet form.

As a specimcm of typographical art, it reflects tlie highest credit upon the skill and enterprise of the publisher, whilst the variety and character of the articles, indicate the richness of the literary vein which, it is developing. In the general scope and char nctcr of its articles, it accrue to be modelled upon the t}-pc of Blackwood, and there is much in the piquancy and vivacity of its stylo to remind1one of the nectar and ambrosia of the glorious old maga. We have as yet* only regaled ourselves with a few of tho higher sketches, but enough to justify us in commending to the attention of our readers, tho rare opportunity, which is here presented of gratifying both patriotism and literary taste, by subscribing for this best of the Southern Journals.

The Carolinian of the 20th instant, contains tlie following additional item : : Our advices yesterday in relation to our esteemed Senator are, that he is still in a very precarious condition, and his physicians report no llattering symptoms. Tho South Carolina College. We extract from the Kditorinl correspondence of the Greenville J'atriot, the following complimentary notice of the condition and prospects of the State Institution. Tho distinguished character of its professors, and the high standard of scholarship, required to obtain an entrance into the College, must ever ensure it a high rank among the literary Institutions of the county : "President McCay bus had rather a rough i*o?d to pnss over sincc taking charge of tlic College; hut we are glad to perceive that he has entirely surmounted niia over come all prejudices, by his propriety, firmness and ability displayed in the government of the College, lie has peculiar fitness for his position by Tiis leuniiug, ability nnd tact in the management of the young gentlemnn under his charge. The Presidency of the College was never sought by him. It was thrust 011 him by the Hoard of Trustees, lie did not shrink from the responsibility. The two brothers, Professors LeConipte, are a great acquisition to the college and universally popular with the students, in tinled ure room and out of it. They are both uinKiii<r uicir respective uraucues 01 science, Chemistry and Physical Science, exceedingly popular and interesting to their classes. Mr. Rivers and Mr. Barnwell arc also two new Professors, who have won already golden opininos in the College. The one. Professor of Greek iiixl the other of History. Mr. Rivers brought with him, from Charleston, a high reputation. Mr. Barnwell is a very voting man, who graduated a few years since in the South Carolina College, with high distinction, for scholarship, talent and manly christian honor and piety. I remember telling J)r. 'Licber of his election last winter, when the Doctor said : "Our relations have been very cordial, but he is a younir gentleman of hi^h talents, attainments and character, and if lie continue sin the College he will one day be its President. Mr. Reynolds, Dr. Laborde and Mr. Pclham, have been in the College for many years, and are well known to the State for their talents, scholarship and high character. "The C( illcge is now prosperous and flour- ; i^liing. The high re^ui^ites of scholarship to cuter even the Freshman CI a?, prevents a great many young meu frotn entering College, and sefidinrr tliom oft' to nllmr I'ollorr.xi A I great many of those in the Virginia University from South Carolina made application for admission into tliid College, but not having road the course prescribed, were refused examination. lie who enters the South Caiolina Collope must have the' foundation of a thorough education well laid ; if he graduates he must be a scholar. I have no doubt that if the University system was adopted in the South Carolina College, the present number of students would be double in a few years." * Southern Universities. The necessity of establishing, and fostering Institutions of learning at the South, Literary | ond Theological, seems to be pressing itself upon the consideration of the various Religious bodies amongst us. The late Convention of the Frotestant Episcopal Church at Canulen, having decided upon the necessity of a l.ioeosan Theological pieminnry, appointed a Committee, charged with the whole matter, to digest a plan for its establishment, place of location, number of profet^rs <fcc., who arc to report nt the next meeting of the Convention. A Committee was also appointed on a Southern University, who arc to meet at Chattanooga in next July. With reference to this gr?.-at enterprise, the Due West Telescope remarks : "The establishment of a great Southern University was, perhaps, the most important matter before the late Convention in Camden. It is hopeil to establish ft magnificent Univer sity on some f>pot, in eome direction, within one hundred inilcs of Chatanooga. The University will not bo located in nhy town now in existent, but will gather ronnd it' a town or village of its own. Tbo faculty or board- of trustees ought to have such a police control over such village aslo exclude all morobanto, mechanic#, tailors, Ac., who would pursue ft course unfriendly to the Institution, who would by the retail of ardent., spirit*, gambling, or other evil practices encourage iototnporaucc, riutor xtthqr erimqa among tbo students, and in.iUlrWy bring infamy and an evil name upon the University. ?

Tho Abolitionists of the North have been holding the 24th anniversary of the AutiSlaverv Koeif-t.v. in N*t-w York (lie 110 tori oils i.oyd Garrison, being in tho chaivj As llio advanced guard of Iilack Republicanism, who exhibit, without disguise, tlic naturnl ami legitimate tendencies of the principles of that party, the proceedings of the Society are not. without interest and instruction. The character of the resolutions and speeches, indicate the extreme lengths to which fanaticism can go. Anti-slavery is the i<lol to which they arc willing to sacrifice, religion ami country, social peace and individual happiness. The following extract, from the speech of Wendell Phillips, affords an illustration of the issue and traitorous designs of this wing of the lilack Republican party: "!!< continued to advocate the overthrow of the federal government ami the dissolution of the I'tiion. There was more terror in Maxsa chusetts of ii constable and a writ than there was in South Carolina of Sharpe's rifles. Ho would thank God if the South would defy Massachusetts to (lie sword and musket, [applause* ;] for the next time Lexington and Hunker ] till should speak they would ho hoard. } But the South knew better ; she hid herself j behind the law, and the North knowing that. t ho decision of the Supreme Court, was final, | they obeyed. Hut the South said : 'If I like your decision I will obey it; if not, I won't;' i and so the North had her hands tied while the South was to do a* she pleased. It is not. with cannon the war begins ; no. it is in the hearts of the soldiers. The South has several ideas, but they are all merged in the one word 'slavery.' lie didn't care what a man's creed was, or whether he 'was insane enough to believe in the. manliness of James Buchanan, if, aside from all other issues, he would aid the speaker, in ab?'lishin<r slavery. | Goethe save : '-if you plant u:i oak in a flower- | pot, one of t wo things must happen?either the oak will die, or the flower-pot willjbreak." Now ho went in for the onk. mid iitVmiloneil lh?> flower-pot, the constitution. [Laughter and applause.] When Brougham stood before tlie House ofJ.ords, aiwl was asked liow far lie would go in defence of the (iueen, he said he knew no one hut her, and if the throne and nobles sunk, he cared not; and lie went in and won, for lie was hound to do so. So would he recommend the abolitionist to say **h? knew no one but the slave, and if the constitution and Senate go to the bottom, where they prolonged, so much the better." [<?rcat applause.] He continued in n strong speech JHrainst the federal government, eulogizing; Margaret Gardener, who murdered her ehihl rather than let him go into the hands of her pursuers. The I)rcd Scott decissiou was more dreadful to him than Sharpe's rifles, and he must raise New York, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin to the level of being traitors. There is only one word that the republican people know, and dare not utter, namely, that this is a resolution, but such must be avoided ; and that there is so constitotional alIcgience left. New York must be educated to tramplolhe law under foot; Massachusetts men to be made to say that no slave luw will be allowed there, or obeyed ; and ho wanted io ninKc inc sun til .uassachinclts ?o hot that a slaveholder would sooner go down to his birih-placc, hell, tliun come into MuSSIIChuSCttS." Western Emigration. The Journals of the Mastern ami other Scabord States, linve taken alarm at the great movement of population, towards the new territories of the West, which has commciiccd this Spring, and arc exerting all their influence to cheek the flowing title. Some which have been most active in proclaiming the gr?iat inducements to Western emigration, are now predicting, depopulation, and financial revulsiou, from this unusual exodus. If the emigration were simply with a view to agriclutural establishments, there would he 110 danger whatever; but the emigration of 1857 i3 chiefly with a view to speculation in land and town lots. Of the hundreds and thousands, who have gone West this Spring, uinc-tenlhs have gone sole!}* to speculate in real e.sA?te, carrying with them, cither the results of their own earnings, or money borrowed from Capitalists, who have a share iu the enterprise. This cannot hut lend la linnnciul embarrassment, 111 the older States. The Exodus is now Qt its highest.. The travel through Pittsburg alone according to the papers of that city, averages one thousand a day, at the lowest computation; while along the lake shore route, it is estimated at from two to three thousand. And ns all of the emigrants, carry with them, considerable amounts of capital, they thus contribute to produce an increasing monetary embarrassment. The Baltimore Patriot, in the following extract, offers some good advice to those, who urc iiiiecLuu wiui hub w esiern icver, una coiltrnBts the superior advantages of investing labor and capital nearer homo : That tlie unproductive lands of tlie older States offer to enterprising men a fairer cliancc for profitable investment t.lmn the newer aud richer soil of the remote territories we are perfectly convinced, and they act rashly, or at least without duo * consideration who "seek in the wilderness to gain that competoncc they may much more readily obtain nearer home. There are as many opportunities for speculation in New Jerscv, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia, as in Iowa, Minnesaota, Kansas or Nebraska, and as respects those social advantages which add so much to the picas urc i)i n nouse iioki, uic uinerencc is over whelming in favor of those who take up their abode in nny of the Old Thirteen, where the 6oil is well adopted to agricultural pursuits. The time is not far distant" when this inauia for emigration to the West will ecasc. Its spec-, ulative character may render it profitable for a Boason to those who are arly in the field, and havn large sums of money"at their command. But to the industrious, 3'etcomparatively poor man, the cost of opening up a new farm where labor is scarce and agricultural products cheap, will be found far greater than that of renovating the badly cultivated soils of the older States, while the soantipr yield finds ito compensation in the higher price aud the nearer market. Already there are numbers of farmers who have returned from Kansas and Nebraska to settle down permanently iu the" Neighborhood of their old homcateads'or within sound of a neighbor*# voice and of the "church going bellJ" Thbir eflthnsinsm has evaporated, they hove ih vojgar parlnnce "seen the elephant,1* and have become wiser if not better men.

Tlic well informed, and very intelligent 1 Washington correspondent of the Jounnal of ^UI Commerce, states it is_as n mutter of surprise, that the British' Government, should not sec the importance of obtaining'from tho United State, A recognition which this trenty afforded of their title to the Belize;' which this Governmeat never intended to acknowledge, and y^"' which has been held doubtful, even by British Statesmen. It was the purpose of tho Clayton *^0 Bnlwer Treaty, as the Senate believed, to provide for the entire abandonment by the British Government, of any places which she occupied Wi in Central America. By an explanatory clause, An British Honduras on the Belize was exempted An from the operation of the treaty. Many of the Coi Senators, declared afterwards, that had they An known of the reservation, they would not hiive given their assent to the treaty. As the United 5" Stales will soon resume their former position on the subject, tlmt will of course deny l<> tlie J British (Government, any rights in Honduras. Thus a fruitful subject of future controversy is ?,xl again thrown open. V" This Government lias declined any further negotiation at present. Jt does not propose, however, ns vet the abrogation of the Clayton hei Bnlwer Treaty, but whether the course of l',:l events shall render it necessary to propose its |Lj(" aniiulnieiit, or some convention explanatory of ; if, yet neither the Executive or the Senate will inf; be satisfied, with any arrangement respecting the Bay Islands, short of this absolute relinqiiishment by fireat Britain. t0 i W'c commend to the attention of our readers the following pithy remarks of the Philadelphia Pt|| Lcl'jrr, as to our true policy towards England, j ,.|14 and the nronertv of Ueemnir clear of all on- the tangling alliances with foreign power? : ^ "The rejection of the Dallas-Clari-endon trea- ^j'.' ly, and especially tlie futile grounds on which i j-,J Kngland lias thrust it aside, should lie a lesson J (.f> lo to I'nited States to keep clear, fur the future, v <>f any 'entangling' treaties with foreign pow- J ( or?.
