severest actions fought during the campaign. Captain

The Clay Rappings.

The only thing that has occurred to ele-
vate Mr. Clay in the estimation of the country, is
the "Rappings' in the galleries lately-and We
think if he would think of them coolly, he would
not hold them as very enviable praise. We con-
slider them worth just about as much as the @Ro-
chester knockipgs," with much less Of mystery at
tached to them. They, both alike, owe their orr
gin to. deceptive appearances. Why the veriest
trifer in the country, he could get on the Senate
floor just now, and be allowed the chance to speak
and cry out with. upturned eyes, the glorious
Union," and pull piece of rope from his pocket,
would gain "thundering applause" from the gale
res. And why! because the galleries are filled
with those whose very existence depends OH the
existence of the Union. Break the Union, and
they have to cork to get bread to break. Office
seekers will rap when they hear the Union lauded
and from the number which throng the galleries
it is no wonder that Mr.. Clay should be loudly
applauded" therefrom. 1t seems, to candid OBJ
server, that Senator should wish his applause to-
be made of "sterner stuff" How very different,
that outbursting and reiterated sanction, which
arises like a mighty incense from the Southern
people, according hearty well-done totlose SEN
ators, who in their love for the Union has not for
gotten the rights of the South. We really think
that Mr.. Clay, since he has grown so extremely
national lately, should have more extended ap-
plause than that from the hungry Office seekers in
the gallery.

His riecs at this crisis, and the late treasonable
abuse which has been lavished upon his name, as
well as the fate or doom which old Chaiky has
marked out for him, will, in our opinion, tend very
considerably 10 produce this result. His ultra or
reasonable notions, as Mr. Clay would have it, are
rather more generally entertained at the South

vo.ion to the South, while they are terrified at
the idea of disunion, this course, no doubt, will
be gladly embraced, as it will present an op'
portanity of peaceful yet efectual resistance,
by which they may protect the South and pre-
serve the Union. A sufficient number of Sena.
tors have already solemnlv pledged themselves
to this course to render it efectual, and if the
effort to admit California with her present
boundaries is persisted in, you may expect a !,

supply her neighbprs with that sort Of merchan-
die which now pays federal duty atNew York.
But what could the federal government do
with seeding State, even after overrunning
her with troops! Would she be held as a con-
quered province The Constitution binds the
United States to guarantee republican form
of government to each State. How could that
guarantee be fulfilled towards people oppos-
ed to union with the other States How could
her government be republican if she were .coer
ced or occupied by foreign troops.
1t is obvious therefore that the idea of main
tanning this Union by compusion, is preposter-
Gus. The only bonds that hold it together are
justice, mutual regard, and mutual Interest,"
But when one section undertakes to seize and
appropriate the share of the other to vast ter
ritorial domain, the deed is fragrant violation
and rupture of these bonds that none but the
blind can fail to see
"Who feters fame with haren band,
Or binds the with rope Of sand,
Hath yet harder task TO prove,
BY fragrant fraud to hold our love-"
And if submission is expected, why even Mexi-
co would not submit to the loss of narrow
strip of this very territory, until she had poured
out her blood on many battle field. Is it ex-
pected that the South which had the principal
share in the conquest of Mexicans, will now dis
play less spirit than those whom she has done
so much to overcome?

A writer in the Palmetto State Banner has nom
mated DR.. Samuel Henry Dickson for this impor-
tant and distinguished position; to this the Charles
ton Evening News responds:
1t would be difficult to obtain more suitable
head for that institution. To great learning i'll the
faculty, DR.. Dickson untes general knowledge of
letters and science. In manner he is courteous,
digniied and conciliatory, and while discharging
faithfully his duties, would secure the respect and
love ofthe students. We hope the proper author
dent, one so admirably calculated to increase its
popularity and usefulness: and who to eminent
ability and high social merits, adds the quality,
great one with us, of being Caronian. We hope
never to see the authorities of any of our state in
stitutons, going abroad to seek for officers while
so many highrnnded aud honorable persons are
to be found at home.
