SOUTH CAROLINA PRINTS
The Charleston Mercury disputes the correctness of
dhe Information which lately gave TO our readers
and we think ourselves bound TO notice the contradiction
nough"-iha "no member of the Legislature will dare
propose t''-that "that cup of humiliation has cen
draned TO the dregs.lt that statute Of nullif
cation Twill be passed by the Legislature that
"the prevailing, indeed the almost unanimous determ-
nation OF the people is that convention shall be call
ed"-and that may RELY upon il "that if ever South
carolina protests dgdin il will be by such nantes
so,cmanating from such source, and containing such
an exposition o her understanding OF the constitution
and oil the course she is determined to pursue in the
prosecution of her rights will eompel her opponents
20 pause in their career."-We will not stop to criticize
this languase We have no disposition TO carp at the
Phraseoioges OF the Mercury-but l. is certain that
%hat III says IN the last does not necessarily
pon out an edic of notification by the conven-
tion We have no doubt, that the State of South Caro-
hna has right 10 conventions and that that con-
vention has right to appeal by the most powerful ar
States--ana il the convention be called for such pur
pose, and will confne itself such an object without
.oIns into acts OF force nuicaion there can scarce.

when the Mercury goes far say, that the in
ind'y,dua' from whom have drawn information,
csiuentty knows nothing OF the prevailing feeling of
our people, or that he has nsdiOusy attempted to niure
their cause by creating incorrect impression in our
sister states we cannot but smile the assertion Ne
man IN tic Union is less capable of any insdous

acquainted with the feelings of South Carolina.-We
