Doctor Cooher.-The Legislature of South Carolina have been discussing aresolution re- quiring the dismissal of this gentleman from the college of that State. The cause of com plant appears to be, certain safdel writings, as they are termed, which have been attrbut- ed to Doctor c. The resolution has been for the present disposed of, by referring the charge to the board of trustees of the College, with an understanding that the Doctor should be dismissed, in case they be substantiatcd.

 The writings alluded to, are we believe, of an anonymous character. Our readers may pro- bably recollect Of having heard, some time since, much talk about them. Of their te- nets, we know nothing, never having read or seen them. No evidence, however, has yet appeared to establish the fact of the Presi- dents being the author And whether he is or is not, appears to us subject of very little interest to the community in which he lives, so long at least, as he refrains from Teaching the College over which he presdes, his faith and dogmas, CT the faith and dogmas of any other sect, whatever.

 Dr Cooper is between 70 and 80 years of age, and if we recollect aright, is son-in-law, and was a pupil of the distinguished Dr Prestly, whose religious paitialities, it is supposed, he imbibet-In word, we believe he is Uni tarian, to which is attached some of the most distinguished citizens in our Union; such as J. Q. Adams, Jared Sparks, and others as highly distinguished for moral, political and literary fame.

 Dr C. is considered one of the most erudite scholars in the Union. In the Republic of the-States, as well as in the Republic of let ters, he is ardent and patriotic; and even at his present advanced stage of life, is said to be one of the most indefatgablc students in the country. He enjoyed the confidence of the sage of Monticello for many years before the decease of that ilustrious personage.-- The services of such man should not be lost ''for slight and transient causes. ."--Maeon .Hduertiser.
