A writer in the Columbia rs. C.) Telegraph
complains that "Clayism exists in the South
Carolina College. The same writer is, we have
no doubt, very much delighted that the boys in the
college have formed "Southern States Rights
Association" II is all right and proper for them
to foster traitorous feelings toward the General
Government, but it is crime of great magnitude
in them to oppose treason. "Clayism," in the
lingo of the South Carolina secessonists, means
opposition to notification and dishnon.
We think that the less the students of college
have to do in forming political associations and in
carrying on political controversies the better for
them. A lad whose feelings are enlisted in politi-
cal disputes will, as matter of course, neglect his
literary studies. The faculty Of college in which
associations for political purposes are permitted to
exist are greatly to blame, and are guilty of will
full neglect of their duties. We do not think any
judcious parent would willingly send his son to
ar nstituton.where he would be permitted to min
Gle in political discussions to the necessary neglect
of his studies. If such associations as those which
have been formed in the University of Virginia and
the South Carolina College are not suppressed,
those Institutions will certainly fall into contempt
The very worst thing parent can do with his son
is to send him to either Of these colleges, where the
youth will certainly have his mind poisoned, and
will not acquire knowledge Of any of those SUBJ
jects for the teaching of which colleges are nsti
tuted. Louisville Public Journal

BOUNTY LAND WARRANTS.

By the appropriation bill of the Sd ultimo re-
striction is imposed relative to the location Q,
Bounty Land Warrants, which, from its being in
SO inappropriate place, is not generally known
and as many holders are now making arrangements
and some of them expensive ones, to have their
warrants located upon the valuable mineral and
other lands about to be brought into market the
ensuing summer and fall, it is suggested that it be
made more public. We therefore publish the
provision, as follows.
"That no land bounty for military services grant
ed by the act Of 2sh September, 1850, entitled
2 An act granting bounty land to certain officers
: and soldiers who have engaged in the military
service of the United States,' or by virtue of any
other act of Congress heretofore passed granting
land bountes for military services, shall be salts
fed out Of any public land not heretofore brought
into market, and now subject to entry at private
!. sale under existing laws"

The ultra Abolitionists of Boston, mortified a
their failure to get up an excitement amongst the
people of Boston, have put forth the following ap
peal to their coadutofs in other parts of the State
which has been extensively circulated in handbill
form:
"7o the good People Of the Commonwealth Of Massa-
chusetfs-n accordance with of the late Mass Con
vention adjourn to Friday next at o'clock A. M the
Vgance Committee earnestly urge upon every friend Of the
slave throughout the Commonwealth report himself in Bos
ton Friday morning. the lh instant witness the last
sad of the States disgrace if shall be found mpossi
bic to avert Come by thousands and let those who come
here urge their friends to with them"
The time mentioned is that at which the decision
of the United States Commissioner in the case of
Sims is expected to be given-the Court having
adjourned to Friday on account Of yesterday being
Fast-day. No apprehension seems to be entertain
ed at Boston of violent resistance to the law.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCE
MENT OF SCIENCE.

An intermediate meeting of the american
Association" will be held at Cincinnati during the
week commencing on Monday, 5th Of May next.
As this affords an opportunity for gentlemen resid-
ing in the West, interested in the promotion of
science to meet those Of the East il will doubtless
prove an occasion Of great interest. Many persons
have already signifed their intention of being pre-
sent, and large meeting is expected.
TO correct an error which has been inadver-
tently made in some Of the public notices, we are
requested to state that Professor A. D. BAoHE will
preside at this meeting, having been elected for the
period from August 1850 to August 1851. In adj
don to the President for the present year, we are
informed that Professor HENRY, the President Of
the last year, and Professor AGAssIz, President for
the next will be present.
The regular annual meeting of the Association
will take place at Albany on the Sd Monday Of
August next.

DEATH OF GEN. BRADY.

We regret to learn, by a Telegraph;c despatch
from Detroit, that Brig. Gen. HUeH BRADY, of the
u s. Army, was accidentally killed in that city on
Thursday, by falling from his carriage. He was
upwards Of eighty years of age, and universally be-
loved. He originally entered the Army in March,
1892, from the State of Pennsylvania. Suisse
quently TO that period he was for short time out
Of service, but re-enered it Colonel of Infantry
July, 1919, and has continued IN the Army from
that time till the day Of his death.

The test to which the present Administration has
been subjected was one of the most trying in our
political history. Had the Administration faltered
in its good purposes, or had it for one moment
listened to the voice Of faction, Or had it conde-
scended to do only what it fancied would be Of
value to the party which sustains it. then it would
not have deserved, and neither would it have re-
ceived, half as much of the united appreciation of
the people. But, with an eye single to the public
good, it has pursued an onward and upward
course; and, without being intent on pleasing any
particular class of men, il has succeeded in win
ming the admiration of vast majority of the peo-
pie Of all sections. 1t has proved itself to be
fully equal to the occasion in the most perilous
crisis through which our country has been COM
PEELED to pass.
That the conduct Of the Administration should be
source Of just pride to the Wings is what was
naturally to be expected. The Wings Of the United
States generally, we think, regard Mr.. FILLMORE
and his Cabinet Ministers as eminently worthy
of the high trusts which have been confded to
them. Further than this, the Wings point ad-
miringly to the Administration in illustration Of
Whig principles, and as afording the best practical
commentary on the spirit and doctrines of the
Wing party. They think, very properly, that the
selection of Mr.. FILLMORE by the National Con-
vention in ls4S as the Vice-Presidentia candidate

is thorough Wing in feeling and principle, and
yet he has not been so warped by political preju-
dice as to be incapable of entertaining those broad
national views in which partisan bitterness is
swallowed up in an a-engrossing patriotism. He
is able, honest, infexibly just, patriot without
sectionalism, and statesman without any narrow
partyism. And his coadjutors in the Cabinet are
worthy to be associated with him. Each one of
| them in his separate sphere Of duties has proved
himself TO be entirely adequate to the station he
cupies. There has been very little complaint made
by Democratic members of Congress or by Demo-
cratic editors Of the manner in which the business
of the various Departments of the Government has
been conducted during the Presidency of Mr..

MASSACHUSETTS, SPECIAL ELECTION.

The BosToN SLAVE CAsE.-We do not see any
new feature in this case, which deserves special
notice. Mr.. RANToUL, in his unconstitutional ar
gument before the Supreme Court, went over
nearly the same ground that was taken here by the
counsel for Long, to which the Court appears to
have listened patiently. Chief Justice SHAW de-
lvered the unanimous opinion Of the Court that
the was not one justifying the issue of writ
of habeas corpus. The opponents of the law have
resorted to every available mode of defeating its
purpose-such as arresting the agent Of Sims's
owner and one Of the witnesses on charge of kid
mapping, &C., but all to no avail. All the boasted
courage and purposes Of appeal to force, on the
part Of the abolitionists, seem to have died away
even more ludicrously than we anticipated.

SENATOR DICKINSON.

As illustrative of the elevated position, as fear
less and able statesman, which Mr.. DICKINSON
earned for himselin the part he took in the United
States Senate towards healing sectional differences
and rritations and restoring peace to the country,
the Albany Argus quotes the following passage from
speech delivered by the Hon. E. A. NEsBTT, at
the great Union meeting at Macon, Georgia. The
speaker on this occasion uttered sentiments which
(says the Argus) will find response among the
friends of union and tranquility all over the Con-
federacy, and nowhere more hearty response
than in the great State Of New York:

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The regular election in CONNECTICUT took place
on Monday, being for Governor and other State
oficers, four Members of Congress, and State Le-
gislature on which will devolve the choice of
United States Senator. The candidates, generally,
OF the Wing and Democratic parties, sustain the
Compromise measures Of the last Congress. The
Free-Sollers had independent nominations. The
returns for Governor from all the townships in the
State. except two, give the following totals

THE Abolition in number Of townships is not in
cluded the above table. These deficient township, will
increase the Abolition vote 1000 and upwards-possbly
2,5O0.l
These returns show that the people have failed
to elect Governor. The election will therefore
devolve on the Legislature, in which it is reported
that the Wings have majority in both branches.
If this be true, their victory will enable them to
place the State Government again under Whig
control, by comforting on the candidates Of that
party the Offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor,

States for the full term of six years
