We have received the Proceedings of the Dinner
gwen at Charleston on the LIST inst 10 Messrs. Hayne and
DTayton They ill nearly II columns of the Charles.
ton Mercury-and if it be possible we shall spread the
whole before our readers. The dinner had nearly 600
snbscribers-Messrs. Drayton Langdon Cheves, James
iaml'on' iurnbull (the author of Brutus and III. J..
finkney, addressed the meeting. The Speeches are
characlerisedb great anmimation, and considerable
eloquence-Mr Drayton declared himself against
NulIlhcation. Mr.. Hayne vindicated the course
which South Carolina had pursued-dcclared that the
abandonment of the grounds assumed by the Ie-
gIsature would amount TO unconditional surrender of
her pncples-that he did wish TO be understood as
Indicating any particular proper TO be pursued
by the State at this time and under existing circun-
ancestha what remains to be done, il is for the peo-
pie 10 decide-but that he would be found with the
Stae-Mr Cheves declared his belief that the present
se oil thnSs was not 10 be borne, and that il ought
he resisted in some way manner, at any and every
hazardbut he threw out this consideration that this
was great Southern quesiion-that S. Carolina ought
not either In policy or justice, TO act without seeking or
awaiting the cooperation OF the other Southern States:
anu ne therefore deprecated separate action, the
part oil y Carolina at this time premature and impo-
little Messrs. Ham;on Turnbull, SC. spoke with
great iorce and fankness; but will undertake 10
condcnse-and they must speak for themselves.
We cannot so with the spirit which runs through,
several OF these speeches and many of the toasts The
Orators generally dePrecate disunion and orce-but what
does Mr. Cheves by resisting eat any and every
hazard'" With such alarming expressions as these
let him be soemnly assured the Southern States will
not co oPerae-they will say with the President, sTho
ederdl Union must be preserved"-As to notification,
which seems he the general favorte with the POLITE
clans oil South Carolina, the Southern States will saw
ua dlstincuon between the abrogaion Of law of Con-
gress by State, and the separation of that State from
The Union FIN other words, Distmi0n) We repeat
"Pause, pause, for Heavens sake pause" And tho
Republicans Of Virginia wiz we have no doubt solemn
~ join with us in this sentiment They deprecate tho
exremites, TO which s. Carolina may proceed-thev
M up their hands against itWhaeyer her sisters (of
~ Carolina and Georgia. may do-and we are firmly
peuaded that they will not lend their sanction 10 such
proceedngs-V Virginia will not. With Jefferson We
say Patience and perseverance, may achieve much
Despair would ruin every thing But we will take
up this subject againwhen publish the Proceedings
of Charleston.
