More about Girard College

| In my last referred to the prohibition IN
the will of Mr. G.. Of Christian Ministers
Of all sects, rom having any thing to do in
managing, teaching in, or eyea visiting the
/ College. The orlgin and sign Of this sin
cuar restriction is not certain. Some have
be m wrong, perhaps too severe on the donor,
imputing it to an inyetcrate dislike to all re
lgion. 1t mi sht have BEEN 50, but sae no
necessity for such conclusion The grave
di.crctions in his will, to have the pupils IN
structed in the principles, and trained to the
practice Of morality, and expressly declared
that by the prohibition he intended no disre-
spcct for the clergy, but designed merely to
suarl against the incubation Of sectarian
principles.
1t was by some, and | think by most, It
first thought that it was the intention to es-
cludc the Bible aud all bible religion, but it
was happily and wisely, think, decided
otherwise.
\ college, or school of any good, with
out the Bible, and Bible religion, would be Il
curse. rather than a blessing But in this
case, the donor expressly drccsed that NOR
afty should be taught; and whence c,nll
pure m )rality be derived but from the Bible
it is found nowhere else. So reasoned the
directors of the Girard College, aud ON this
principle they practice, 50 that the Bible is
freely read among the pupils, and its sacred
principles taught.
The college is adapted to do immense good.
It is taking lust that class of children, which
else, very generally at least must grow up in
ignorance, want and dissipation, and placing
them where at once they are comfortable, and
under the combined influence of education
and religion which, if wisely improved,
will raise them to the very top of society,
and enable them to fill important stations il
the country
Who can estimate the amount of good
which that one school may do, both to the
individuals themselves, and to society. *
norant, yagrant children turned out upon
society, with none to care for, restrain, and
direct them in the dangerous paths OF child
hood and youth, and "a blighting curse ; but
transformed as they may be, and many OF
these orphans will be, by the means here US
| ing, they will be blessing to their genera
tion, and generations yet unborn. And thea

BY and by, one, or two, perhaps more OF her

Joy is but the JOY of multitudes under like

| therefore it was best not to pass it, but tc
leave it as it was. Sir, We had other
things to do. We had a tariff bill to
pass We could not have passed that
without the aid of those on the other side
of the Chamber. We had also to pass
the appropriation bills necessary for the
support of the Government. They were
almost all done within the last days of
the session, Or but very short period be-
fore. We understood perfectly well what
we could do, and what we could not do.
We are respectable enough on this side
of the Chamber, in point of ability, to
have some idea Of what we are about, ,and
know something Of what we wish to ac-
complsh, and how much we can accom-
plish of what we want to do, and how
much we cannot. If we had the power
so to do those things, we mi ght have done
them, possibly have done more.
| regret, sir, that that bill, with refer
cncc to the collection of the revenue, was
not passed | do not admit all that the
Senator has stated with regard to our po-
sition, with regard to the position Of the
Administration. in reference to collecting
the revenue there and allow me to say
further, that the Senator, in his argument
and it has been laborcd one-upon
this subject, has added nothing that can
perceive to the argument that was made
early in the season by the honorable SEN
ator from Louisiana (Mr. Bcnlamin), who
went over the whole ground upon the
subject, and precisely the same ground
that the Senator from Illinois has occu-
pied this morning. Part Of it was very
correct and part of it was not. am not
prepared, and have no desire, to 90 into
an examination Of it. Let it be enough
to say, with regard to those things that
the President has declared that he will
not make war upon any body. The Pres
idcnt has declared that it is his intention
to execute the laws of the land legally
aud constitutonaly; and when he has
not the legal and constitutional power t.
execute them, that he will not attempt to
do it by Illegal or unconstitutional mea-
surcs That is not to BE inferred and
therefore it is not to be inferred that the
President or his party mean war. They
say they do not mean war, There has
been no declaration of war UPON this side
of the Chamber. There has boon non
on the part of any body. We have
heard war cried on the other side. 1t has
been one everlasting reiteration OF the
word, to draw Us into discussion OF that
Subject. We chose to be wise, according
to our own IDEAS of wisdom, and not talk
Of what We did not mean to say. That
was our position then, ami it is our posi-
ton now.
Now, sir, having said this much anil
having again told, a. | do now, the Scna-
tor from Illinois that his whole attack
upon me va, entirely unjustifiablc; that

these avowals, so characteristic of South
|Carolina morale. Whenever the native
of that State does an act or holds an opln-
ion, it is his nature to confess it and avow
the motives thereof, without quibbling or
hesitation. 1t is persuaded, self poised
community, strikingly like its negative
pole on the Slavery Question, Massachu-
setts. All those Charlestonians whom |
talked with | found open hearted in their
secession, and patient of my open heart
edness as an advocate of the Union, al
though often astonished, suspect, that
any creature capable of drawing con-
cluson from two premises should think
so different from themselves.
"But have you looked at the platform
of the Republicans" | proceeded. "it
is not adverse to Slavery in the States; it
only objects to its entrance into the Terri
tories it is not an abolition platform"
1--WE don't trust in the platform we be-
leve that it is an incomplete expression
of the party creed-that it suppresses
more than it utters. The spirit that
keeps the Republicans together is enmity
to slavery, and that spirit will never be
satisfied until the system is extinct
"Finally--yes; gradually and quietly
and safely-that is possible. l suppose
that the secret and generally unconscious
animus of the party is one which will abb
olitionzc it after long while
"Whcn will it begin to act in an aboli-
ton sense, do you think 7"
81 can't say: perhaps hundred years
from now; perhaps two hundred"
There was a general laugh from the
halfdozen persons who formed the group.
"what time do you fix 2" | inquired.
1.-TWO years. But for this secession of
ours, there would have been bills before
Congress within two years, looking to the
abolition of slavery in the navy yards, the
District of Columbia, etc. That would
be only the point of the wedge, which
would soon assume the dimensions of an
attack on slavery in the States. Look
how aggressive the party has been in the
question of the Territories.
The questions are different When
Congress makes local laws for South Car
olina. You might as well infer, that be-
cause vessel sails from liverpool to New
York in ten days, therefore it will sail
overland to St. Louis in five more"
Incredulous laughter answered me
again.

Success Of the Daily 1uartaud nr.s,

Success Of the Daily Overland Mail,
In the war excitement our people hayeauite
overlooked one Of the most substantial trl-
umphs Of peace which has marked our re.
cent history. We refer to the entire SUCCESS
OF the Daily Overland Mail, which went into
opeTnflon on the LIST met. The frat coach Of
the new line, which left Placeryiile on tha
morning Of The 1st Of July, arrived at st. 10.
Reph On the 18Th inst, in only sezyute,,, daYs
and one hour from one terminus to thu other.
Inc schedule time during the summer season
Is twenty days. The agents write that their
drivers had not the slightest difficulty in max
ing their time; on the contrary, they came in
ahead of time, without any effort to that end.
Four passengers came with the first coach.
and some two hundred additional passengers
from California were booked TOR the coaches
to come, rs soon rs they could be brought.
The public should not forget that the Steam
ers no longer carry the mali. Notwithstaud.
ing this fact has been widely published, q large
number Of correspondents still accumulafe
their letters and newspapers at the principal
post offices on the steamer days, aud each day
preceding the sailing of California steamer.
Let It be remembered that the California mail
now leaves St. Joseph every day in the week,
and letters may be mailed On each and every
Gay, at any Post Office in the loyal States.
Postage, ten cents, always prepaid.
