From, the Philadelphia National Gazette.

We have placed in our first page, two of the
speeches which were delivered at the late Multi
6cation dinner at Charleston. That of Colonel
Drayton does particular credit to his spirit judy
ment and patriotism. The tone and purport Of
the remarks of Mr.. Cheves surprise us exceeding
". We deemed him unsusceptble of contagion;
and likely to keep as far aloof from the amateurs
and professors Of disunion as Colonel Drayton
has done. His appeal to the Southern States ge-
nerally might be dangerous, if Virginia. North
Carolina and Georgia were not ready to disclaim
the doctrines and menaces Of the Nullifers.-
Colonel Drayton has yielded too much in grant
ing that State may secede from the Uuion at
will. The Union is compact to which each
member of the confederacy il party. and In the
case Of our federal and national system, each
is integrally constituted with the whole, The
r;eht of secession would be the right Of dissolu-
