account of the occasion:
The exercises of the Phi Beta Kappa Society
were held on Wednesday evening Daniel Lord,
ESQ.,, distinguished member of the New York
Bar, gave the Grafton, and Alfred B. Street, of
Albany, the poem. Mr.. Lords subject was the
influence of the members of the legal and clerical
profession upon sociey, Independent of their
professional labors. His Grafton is spoken of as
an able performance, worthy of his high reputation
Hon. Daniel Webster was elected by the Society
for the Orator next year, and Rev. John Pierp ont
for the Poet.
The two Literary Societies, whose libraries
now contain eleven or twelve thousan volumes
each, have united their forces for the purpose of
erecting splendid Hall for their Joint use, in a
style similar to the@Coiiege Library building
The cost is estimated at twenty thousand dollars,
and it will add new and attractive ornament to
the college grounds.

Legislature reserved to Itself The privilege Of
calling, at its second session, the Convention soge'
Their. The delegates were elected, accordingly,
in February last, by miserable minorties in nearly
all the districts, and it only remains for this old
Legislature 10 say the word, and these deputies
from the "Southern Rights Associations" will
assemble with the power, assumed at least, to- de-
clare South Carolina out of the Union. The peo-
pie at this moment have really no certain means
of preventing such proceeding however deeply
majority might deplore it, Their only recourse
u.s. by informal demonstrations of the public SEN
timent, to convince the Convention that it cannot
honestly or safely carry out the rash designs in
which it had its origin. But for the biennial du-
ration of the present Legislature, the question Of
secession would be made a direct issue in the
Legislative elections and the friends of the Union
prevailing, the Convention would not be allowed
to meet at all. A more striking proof of the
soundness of the revolutionary principle of fire.
quent elections could not be desired.
The remaining provisions of the 9Th section are
Identical with corresponding clauses in the pres
ent Constitution and so with the whole of the
9th section, save that the Lieutenant Governor
