Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1827-09-01

Judge Cooper.-We promised TO take some further
noticeof this gentleman, and proceed to redeem
our promise. Judge Cooper is an Ensii,hnan; a man
OF erudtion, and formerly professor in Carlisle COL
lege, Pennsylvania. He is now President of Columbia
College, S. Carolina; but satisfied with the smooth
and quiet walks of literature, he has venued into the
political arena; and is fast mounting to the distinction
OF hrst rate demagogue. We not such bigos as
TO say, that uaturalzed foreigner debarred the free
exercise of his opinions upon political subjects but we
do say, that TO express such sentiments Judge Coop
er has done 10 throw out hints of treason and 10 talk
boldly OF disunion, is highly criminal i'll native born
citizen, and is douby infamous in him TO whom opr
constitution and laws have afforded an asy,um tho
work OF our fathers is TO be destroyed by parrcda
hands, is enough that the descendants of those who
reared The fabric, should undertake to dissolve il: but
re;gners, whether n@uralized not, this solemn and
abhorred business. 1--WE do the more protest against
Judge Coopers interference. because he is but late
proeyte TO those darling principles of political econo
my, which he complains have been violated by the
assembled wisdom of this nation. The founders OF our
TepubIic-our Washingtons, our JciTersons and our
Madisons all advocated and enforced the very prnci-
pies, which the Columbia President now deems so IN
apDcai
arms Nor is this all. judge Cooper himself, when
resident of tue State of Pennsylvania was the able
and strenuous advocate of that very system which he
now condemns: With b i'm, it is moi so much a change
of principles of climates and is more than proba-
bic, circumstances TO restore him to his old re-
sdence lie would find il both convenient and neceasa-
~ TO resume his ancient opinions, which suit not now
Tie Carolina meridian! But let Judge Coopcr-at
Ills time the impacable enemy of American Industry,
and by consequence the supporter of that system which
woull make us the slaves Of British poIcy-be heard
IN his own language. In 1873 he conducted the "Phi

work, we make the following extracts
