Tave only made the matter worse. But to ditpense with the ocean figure. Te Tariff of 1846 goes to day into opernuon. The prophets have spoken of its effects, and both sides should be holden to their declarations; no. as a matter of personality or figure, but for the enlightenment of the public mind, and the settlement of the greatest of all questions in political Mr.

Lawrence. of Boston, has predicted. that eighteen months from today there will not be a specie paying bank in the United Stites. This he did, not in haste nor in private, but in a series of letters addressed to an lion. Senator from Stiae of Virg inia, and puhlished with the name of Mr.

Lawrence, and with his approbation, in the papers favorable to -16bedootrie'of protection throughout the United States. The declaration was therefore-substantially endorsed by the prophets on. that side generally. Mr. Clay, the father of the American system in a recent address, characterized the new Tariff as "the fatal tariff of 1846, whose calamithus etfects apprehend, sooner or later he extensively realized." This, with his declaration thit "we of the West," do think the repeal of the English Corn Laws trill be of much importance, exhibits the views of this greatest of the protectionists ay to the new policy upon which Great Britain and the United States have entered.

We believe prognnstications of the great men who have been gamed, to uiterlvaroundlCSS; nay, the very op. nasite of the truth. We have doubt of foiluw ig propostions viz: That pr. gciuc leesbas the wages of labor if not diredtly yet really. by -enhuncing the price of protected articles purchased by the tIle product of copital.

-it reduces the prices of tue -produce-of the country. and enhanes the prices of the- protected articles to the consumers; so snaing a double loss. tu. the farmers atld gll prc ucers and.tmsnufactured attcles of aggravates.the fluctuations of trade, harrying excessive importations to greater xees, and so exposes the country to injurious drains of coin, and its monied insitutions-to embarrassment and bank. ruptcy.

With these views, and sure of their truth, we predict that the currency will he sound and.the strong. unner the influence of Free Trade; and that instead Of ruiu, the Tariff of 1846 will bring with a degree of solid prosperity never before known in opr country. Not bring wiith it -lxactly. but alloiv to developeitself. The sozrtcea of prosperity are either in free lade or protection.

They atein the good aws hieb. God hap given the high p.inciples wbichour fathers taught as. the influenc of a free and energetic Bible among ua. the stability of our institutions, the security of our propetty, and in all the mighty energies of a free, intelligent, and- comparatively virtuous people. Free trade is nothing at all.

It is merely the absence of restriction. Liberty is-gpthiing. It is only the absence of oppression. This absenge lets, out the mighty energies of our race, sltiulated by the laws-which protect us in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. It is our otr glory, that we are free anti is it is which will stimuTate the big energies of the people by securing to them the largest reward.

This will fill the coffers of our banks and our people, and secure a steady and most rapid prosperity ofthe country. Do men earn money or accomplish any desirable thing by being forbidden to act Do they make money by what they can not dOt? Events will determine the great question now submitted, and the people will etndose the verdict "Live free trade! Live Liber'y in every thing." Our Collector very kindly and properly kept the Custom House opened until 10. o'clock last night. Then in the darknessI protection went out, and the doors were closed against hope aud believe forever. EDGEF1IELD C.

The Governor was manifestly afi'ected, by the distinguished compliment paid him'in his election. Gen. J. J. Caldwell has been elected Chancellor.

The proposition to consolidate the oflices of Comm'iisioner in Equity and Ordiunary, by transferring the business, papers and powers of the Ordinary, to the Commissioner, iai the subject of debate yes terday in the Senate, ihe tneasure was proposoa end advocated by Mr. Rhett, and opposed by Mr. Witherspoon, and your Serator Mr.

at the close of the thtaeLgeiZeman acted by a farge majority. To day in i the Senate, the Bill to amend the charter I of the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road was under discussion. The Bill came from the committee on Internal Im- provements, with a clause that the State should subscribe two thec stock; provided, it shoufti he done ont of money arising from the sale, at par, of' the stack the State, in the South Carolina ail Road Company upon0 this clause there was an interesting debate. Messrs. Darit and Griffin avowed themselves as opposed to the State becoming a stockholderi any joint J'tock company as a general riciple, but insisted, thamt if the, policy hould be adqpted of transferring the tock, tow owned by the State, in thlei resent Rail Road, to aid in other like en-1 erprises, then all the new projects should admitited to pa-iC'pate equally in the tock atnd after a long debate the clause was stricken out.

Mr. Perrin has introuced into the Senate a Bill to define thme erms on which the State will aid in the onstruction of Rail Roads; it proposes hat the State will subscribe 2 Sths of' the toek in any company, where the Legislatre, al'er estimnates of the cost, and eviece of the practicahility of the road, hll approve of the project it was refered to a special committee. No measure this sort can be adopted, which pledges the State to subscribe ant any other uods than her stock in the preseut Rail stock was taken originally, with her part of the surplus revenue reeived the general government. The Bank receives some hard licks occasionaly front Mr. Felder, and there is an increasng purpose to investigate tmuch more toroughly the condition of this institution.

will becomhe one of the gravest quesions of tiie day. whether chaiier of his Bank shall be renewed in 1856, when it expires. Mr. Memiminger has introducd resolutions. from thie committee of ays and Means of the House, to reduice the capital of the Bank, to the original sum of one million twelve hundred thou' sahd dollars, and apply the other funds, which the Bank has adopted as capital, to pay the pubie debt, this measure o'viously to the wiuding-up of the'Bank.

During the -preian't 1tLe tislature, Columbia has presented Ymany of considerable interest. Thu man )f business, the Belles Lettres scholar, the Po'itician, and the seeker after lgsure, have all found much to arrest their attenLion. Every day, the streets hale been thronged with carriages of everf'desetipLion, from the huge omnibus itb'iis dashing team of spirited horses, dwu id the humble one horse cart.

Beautiful carriages with beautiful ladies in them, maet any time, be seen in the streets. Many at these fair promenaders, with their gallant-hearts in attendance, are daily "Tripping on the light fantastiutOe," in the thoroughfares of this haundsome town, numbers of them resort to the State House, and very seriously interfere with the business of legislation. Such is the magic power of their charms, that the grave legislators are diverted from very important business of law making. and pay their court to these lovely sireps. 'A few evenings since, I was presentit a leclure delivered by an Artist, whose name was Jackson, in the Carolina Hall.

His lecture was on the subject of Monochromatic Painting, an Art, new in tbi conimuhity. and in the country generally. Al. terhe had concluded his on a white pasteboard, prepared fci- th' purpose, a picture in a Monochroratiic style-this is of prie color. Ile sed black crayon and.
