The report of the Committee on Com
merce, Manufactures and the Mechanic
Arts on the memorial of the South Caro-
lima Institute for aid, recommending an
appropriation Of $4,000 for the purpose
met with some opposition.
Mr.. Porter, in defending the report of
the Committee, said that the South Caro-
lima Institute was particularly deserving Of
patronage, that it was n State institution
established to promote State objects, COM
menced by individuals whose funds were
now nearly exhausted. That a duty
seemed to devolve OH South Carolina to
keep up with other States in her progress.
That these were the days'of enterprise and
industrial development. Fairs, exhibitions
and institutes were types of the spirit Of
the age. That they had produced the
most beneficial effects. He ;llustrated the
subject by alluding to the great Industrial
Exhibition at London, where so many ex-
quiste specimens of art and industry were
exhibited. He spoke of the Crystal Pal
ace, which he hkened 10 fairy creation, n
legitimate manifestation of the spirit of
the age. A similar one was about to be
erected in New York. But these exhibi-
tons, though not OH so grand scale, had
been common at the North for the last
20 years, where 20, 80, and so thousand
specimens ofthe most exquisite kind had
heen exhibited. We should keep pace
with this spirit Of improvement. The
South was not deficient in resources. The
mind Of the South was Of higher order
than that Of the North, more intellectual
and equally inventive, and equally expert
in all the industrial arts. The City Coun-
Gil of Charleston, three or four years ago
had generously given $25 90 to the Insti-
tute to enable them to construct tempo:
rary erection. He hoped the State would
enable them, with the subscriptions they
would obtain from other sources, to erect a
permanent one.
The report with the addition of some
provisions was finally adopted, and sent
to the House of Representatives for con-
currence.
The Senate, after the transaction of
some other business, adjourned.
