Sou ill Carolina.—_Y great sensation was lately created in Columbia, S. C by a sermon delivered in that place by Rev. Mr. Pmncv, who is described us a missionary of the Colonization Society. A meeting of the citizens was livid, at which testimony was submitted respecting the character of the discourse, ami oiler an animated debate, resolutions were adopted,| denouncing Mr. Pirutey, Colonization, and the North in very indignant terms, and declaring that the attempt to teach the negroes to read and write ought to be immediately put an end to by the civil authorities. On the following day:1 another meeting was held, belbrc which*a letter fr m Mr Pmney, in vindication of his discourse was laid; but the communication provedto be so dissatisfactory, that a new scries of resolutions was adopted, in which the conduct of that gentleman is described os reprehensible to the last degree, and “official notice is given to him that he must immediately leave the town.It is difficult, from any document before us, to form an accurate judgment of the character of the discourse, by which this great excitement was occasioned. The Columbian Times comments at considerable length upon Mr. Pin-ney’s conduct, but in a tone of so much exasperation, Lhat we should hardly deem it safe to draw any decisive inference respecting the sermon from its remarks, lie is desctibed in theresolutions, as tilling the oars of negroes with the falsehoods o\ a hypocritical society', that Jesuisticolly passes itself for one thing in the South, and the very opposite, in England and the North,” Some further explanation on the subject will undoubtedly be given.—Boston *ddi\
