clergyman by the name of Wilkinson wrote a
sermon on the following text: Prov. XXI, ID:
" She is like a merchants ship, that bringelh
her food from affair" 1t contains the following
passage ::
"But, of all qualities, a woman must not
have one quality Of a ship, that is, too much
rigging. Oh, what a wonder il is to see a ship
under sail with her upper decks and her lower
decks, and SO bedecked with her steamers,

pleasure in bearing testimony to the gratifying
progress Of the pupils in their several studies,
and the superior qualifications and efficiency
Of the teachers, evinced by that examination.
They would add, that from persoualObservation
for the last years Two, as well as the several
examinations they have attended during that

to none in the southwest in superior discls

system of instructions; by which the teachers
secure at once obedience without tyranny,
and affection without familiarityi and that il

would have acknowledged it 10 be true,
or said nothing about it. This is the
Legitimate inference to be drawn from
his defence or reply. But It will not do.
We referred him TO article and section,
and we have no doubt but thai the editor
then read them for the first time in his
life. If we had made the reference in
the first lace, we would not have caught
The editor in the trap we fixed for him!
Now, we cannot help the editor Of the
Madisohian exposing his ignorance, but
he should not fly into a pet, and use
harsh epithets, when he is cornered. II
is in bad taste. Our remarks ln'Tepiy
to the editors Hing at our little scrap
we think were kind and paarnal, and
'fraught with good advice.
The'editor says that this clause Of the
constitution has become SUPERB nnuated
and$; fallen into disuse." Well, it may
be all right for soutd Carolina TO nullify
any portion Of her constitution at pleas
ure that does not suit them, but this is
the first time we have heard it avowed.
We suppose this is o practical abstrac'
tion,' which proves her to be a kinga9@
sure enough-we had almost said a HeS
pOtism. We thank the editor for this
mOrceau OF information.
We are under the impression, in spite
Of the lofty ground the editor assume
in the conclusion Of his reply, that when
ever we wish to call him out, or get a
notice from all the intellect of the Mad
iSonidn, we can do SO al easy as we did
before, by throwing out another 'scrap
about South Carolina, and have from
him as fine a specimen Of his genius,
and information, as distinguished
his FIRST notice Of our little hit at that
State. This expose has afforded US fun
enough for a month or so. We are
satisfied for the present.

Some Of the leading politicians Of the South
contend that the admission of California as a
non-slaveholding State,is q cause on the part Of
the South for a dissolution Of the Union. Why
is this a sufficient cause in their estimation4
Only because slavery is excluded from the ter.
ritory. To carry slavery ihero is much to be
desired but does the dissolution carry it Their? !
If it does not why resort to this means to eslab-
lish il!
In the event Of dissolution, to whom does the
territories Of the United States belong4 To
those alone who havepossession. IfJorce is to
be resorted TO to take slavery there, why not do
50 without r%esotting to a dissolution. Now we
would have to contend against the United
States, but the whole south would be as likely
to act together now as after dissolution, againsr
the North. So it would, in all probability, re-
quire a civil war to abolish it in that State. Il
the play worth the candle?
