"At Capt. Genes, the number was from 90
to 100. There were in this case two dissentlent
votes.
Notification is as dead as julius Cesar-and
I have no fear that before the Election we shall
be able to say the same Of Convention"
From the Charleston Courier.
The result of Mondays election is cheering
to the hopes of the Patriot 1t was not the trI-
umPh of any Enthusiastically oil any party: twas
emf haticaliy the triumph Of principle. Our men
did indeed come to the polls,
Sill as the breeze, bit dreagf"ta as the storm.
And it is due to our adyersaries to say, that de-
cency and good order were preserved On both
sides.
There is now no pretence left for the idle as
sertion, that the principles OF the State Rights
and Union party'' were confined 10 the Yam
kee party in Charleston" Its the dead Of sum
mer-none but those who are bound to our soil.
by every tie which our laws and the affections of
the human heart create, were present. 1t was
the vnice of the generous, high-nnded People Of
South Carolina. 1t was the voice OF the genuine
wings of the South, that proclaimed. in tone that
will make the apostle Of misrule and bis dupes
tremble. that sour Federal Union must be pre-
served"

Ell, at the meeting of tlle 2sth ult we feel 1t due
10 ourselves, to state, that we were then, ana
are now decidedly opposed to the third resolu-

From, the Charleston City Gazette.
The Senior and acting editor of this Journal
was assailed on Yesterday morning between the
hours of two and three, while standing upon the
threshold of his Office, By mob of between two
and three hundred persons, armed generally
with clubs; three Of whom assaulted and collared
him, without anv provocaton whatever on his
part; and, but for the use ola weapon Of some
little potency. and the timely Interference of a
few friends. who prevailed upon them TO take
their departure, he would in all probability
have lost his !ife,or at least been subject to spe
cies of ill treatment, not falling short very great
Iy, OF the violence necessary towards efiecting
that end. They spared, however, neither threats
nor abuse. and BY their conduct, seemed deter
mined. to prove two thipgs at ieast:-namely
that the courage which allowed Of the attack on
single man, by two or three hundred was Of the
true kind; and. also-that the Freedom of the
poole meant neither mere nor less than the right
of the people to destroy the people for daring to
entertain an opinion for themselves. Upon this
fact, we offer no comment Of our own. We
leave it to the honorable and the high-lniuded TO
Judge from this of the nature Of that persecution
which, for the last two months, has made use Of
and exercised its various means Of maiignity and
injury against us. They will judge how far the
! liberties of the citizen are secure with those,
who, BY intimidatng and suppressing the exer-
else of public erif,ion and discussion, strike at
the very roots Of every species Of freedom, civil,
religious and popular.
4 CAaD.-To the few gentlemen who came
forward and interposed themselves between the
mob and ourself, on the above occasion, we ten,
der our hearty acknowledgements. IL We differ
with them as 10 the nature of our very separate
political creeds. we can at least,as well appreciate
manliness and gentiity, as they can recognize,
| though laboring under great political excitement
the cause of good order and propriety.
