Our immediate reprcfti-iitativte, t!io Hod. M. L. lioMiAu, line addressed an able tetter to the Charleston Mercury, in which he gives a statement of his views as to the policy of the South in tho Approaching Presidential election. A brief report of liis remarks, delivered at LaurensC. II. dui ing the summer having lately appeared in that paper ho deems it proper more full}* 1o stnto the views which lie then expressed Hud uow entertains upon that absorbing question, We shall publish the letter in our next issue,and in the mcantimo will merely state the conclusions of tho writer. Tho letter exposes tho absurdity of the Squatter Sovereignty construction of the Ivan sas-Nebraska Act?A doctrino which whilnt conceding that Congress lias no right to legislate slavery, Into or out of tho Territories still asserts that it may delegate the power t<? a mere agent, tho territorial legislature. On the other hand, non-interv'eution by a just construction of that act moans no more than that Congress shall neither establish nor abolish slavery in the lorrilorios, and does not preclude its interference to counteract unfriendly or hostilo territorial legislation. This interference may not he necessary, but it should he cxerciscd, whenever tho territorial legislature attempts to discriminate against slovo property, by an omission to pass laws for its protection, or by hostile legislation. No other doctrine is compatible villi the rights of tho Statee and tho Territories. Thnj issue tho South should distinctly tender, and support no presidential nominee who is not fully committed to its support. For all practical purposes the congressional legislation of Mr. Sf.ward m no worse tlmn the Squatter Sovereignty of Mr. Douglas, nnJ if the Sontli is only true to herself plie will not he subjected to the humiliating necessity of choosing between two evils. THE FBENCH EMPEROR AND THE ITALIANS. By the Ircuty of Villa Franca, the Emperor is pledged to the restoration of the Dukes of Tuscany and Modcna. That lie should have consented to the insertion #of n-iy such clause in still nnintelligihlo as a matter at policy.? These rulers were mere puppet? of Austria, kept on the throne hy an Austrian force and were personally unpopular. Sincc the conclusion of the war, the popular will has heen very clearly expressed in the matter, and the As oumiiiivn ?ji mdiiciiu uiki mscany iinvo passed resolutions expelling the <>1<1 dynasties, nnd annexing the ducliics to Sardinia. It remains to Ijc seen whether tlio French Emperor will forcc tho fugilivo dukes upon nil unwilling people. The fact that ho retnins fifty thousand troops in Ita'y seems to favor that conclusion, hut by bo doing lie would disavow the alleged objectof tlie war, to wit: the relief of Italy from Austrian domination ns dangerous to Franco. Another view taken i.?, Hint he designs to form a kingdom for his Cousin Prince K.M'olkos?and in any ovent, wo suppose thai the interests and feelings of the people will bo very little consultod in the mailer. At the la'.c Zurich Conference wc see that the Sardinian Plenipotentiary lias stated his opposition to the clause of restoration, and his government would never consent to tho proposition. ? THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH. Wc nro indebted to a friend for a pamphlo copy of the "l>rQceedinge?'w,the Bourd of Trustees of the University of ihe South, at their session, held at Ileersheha, Grundy Coufily" Ten. ncssee, Auguft 10th 1859." A sufficient sum linsnlrcadv been raised to secure iIia omlnw mcnt of llio University, and tlic trustees willproceed cnrly in the ensuing year, to tlic creclion of the necessity* buildings. A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, gives nn interesting sketch of Ihcritn of the proposed University of the South, under the auspices of th<i ten most Southern dioceses of tho Episcopal Church. Tlic Cumberland plateau, in Tennessee has been selected ns the location, on account of its elevation, and h^althfulnese ; anil 1000 acres have been secured to the institmiion. Tho scenery ground is beautiful and picturesque, and presents every uatural advantage. The object of tlic Institution is to benefit tho whole South, and to raise tho standard of education throughout our whole country, and it scorns to be popular with all classes. It is also a part bf the plan to encourage tho establishment of summer residences for the planters of the South, where they may enjoy a fine climate and excellent society. Five hundred thousand dollars have already been secured for the endowment, and during the next year it is expected that $1,000,00$ will be raised. SOUTHERN COLLEGES. We have received says tho Courier a circular from Mr. Cuas. Sneai>, of Marion, Ala., setting forth liis intention to prepare a history of *11 our Southern College*. Such a work, *ays tlie Christiau Index, ia greatly needed. "A work of thiakiud will aupply a deaidoratum in the acquisition of reliable information relative to our Southern Literary Institutions."

Mr. Editor: Having enjoyed tho privilege of attending tho recent Camp Meeting at Smyrna, I wan much pleased to eeo the gooa behaviour of the congregation generally, which was as it i?lwuys should bo. This was owing, I was told, to the good management of tho presiding ofliciul. who appears to understand how to manage Bticli meetings. Tho meeting was held in a* respeclablo neighborhood, and among a very intelligent people, proverbial for their liospitnlit v I did not eujoy tlio pleasure or hearing the pennon preached on Sunday by the Presiding Elder, but was told il was a masterly defence of the doctrines and usages of the M. E. Church I regret tho strictures in your last issue, by "An Episcopalian," ns I aro informed it wait not a correct report of tlio roinarks of the Presiding Elder. Such strictures do hut little good, but may provoke a controversy, which may do harm. It is much better for brethren to dwell together in unity, and us long as the churches generally are visited by tlio Holy Spirit froin on High, it is the best evidence that they are in the regular 'lie of the Apostles. The meeting was emphatically a good one, mid was supposed the best held there for ecveral jv?ii>. < i ? ua one ?ji uiose good old tusliioncd (Jump Meetings, where tlicro was much prayer nnd liol little gallantry. Tlio woods wero inudo lo reaound with the praises of ihe happy con verts. "I'Wiis pleasant lo behold pa re uts rejoicing over their chihlrcii, and brothers and sisters embracing each other, happy in the lovo of Je. bus. Seventy-five Were ^ddud to tho church? 4i> whites, 20 colored. Tho Isord unite the hearts of christians together, that tho world may tako knowledge of them, that they liavo been with Jesu*. nnd ho constrained to sny?"Sco how these christians love one another." So mote it be, AMENr COM Mt.'Xlt'ATKII. A BEJOINDER. Mn. T!i?rron: 1 n yesterday's jpanntr, over the signature ' Amen," a correspondent corrects my understanding of Mr. MeSwain'a sermon, pronouncing it an incorrect report of tlic whole mutter. If so, 1 most gladly ami cheerfully waive tlic?whole question, which'(being one of order and expediency not of doctfinc) is uusuitcd to the present occasion. I never linvo considered nil abuse of the Episcopal Church lM'crsfsnry to the argument of Metho dism. The two churches get. along hnrmonionsly elsewhere, v7/// vol here? There is no great vital issue between them, ami I agree that there should be none whuti-ver now, especially, to disturb the good work which is gone 011. We wish it therefore understood that the Episcopal Church while it does not fear controversy wlieh Irulli is involved, does lfot seek it. It's policy is a different one, a quiet conservatism,, endeavoring to maintain "the unity of tho Spirit in the bonds of peace." We pray continually that God may proiqoto this blessed unity among all his faithful people ?and we trust, that all true Episcopalians have a heart to rejoieo in such a good work, ns that going on in our town?(Jod speed any mid every such work by whomsoever.done?anil make litis a lasting blesssng to our whole community AN -EPISCOPALIAN*. * LATER FROM"EUROPE.
