The Charleston Courier gives an abstract Of
the speech OF Col. Drayton at the Union party
celebration IN that city, which is as decidedly
antl-nulllfylng as any thing we have seen. The
nullhers held their festival apart under the flag
of the redoubtable Hayne. President Jack son
was invited, by the City Authorities, as well as
by the Unionists. His reply to the latter con.
tains the following language:
could accept your invitation it would be
with the hope that all parties-all the men of
talent, exalted patriotism, and private worth,
who have been divided in the manner YOU de-
scribe, might be found united before the altar
OF their country, on the day set apart for the
solemn celebration of its ndependence-inde-
pendence which cannot exist without Union,
and with it is eternal.
Every enlightened citizen must know that
a separation, could it be effected, would begin
with civil discord, and end in colonial depen-
denee on foreign power, and obliteraton from
the list of nations. But he should alsn see that
high and sacred duties, which must and will,
at all hazards, be performed, present an nsur-
mountable barrier to the success of any plan of
Reorganization, by whatever patriotic name it
may be decorated, or whatever high feelings
may be arrayed for its support. The force of
these evident truths, the effec: they must ulti-
mately have upon the minds of those who seem

" In our paper of this morning will be found
most extraordinary correspondence between
Messrs. Eaton and lngham, who were still act
ing at the time in the distinguished stations of
Secretaries of the War and Treasury Depart.
ments of the U. States, No parallel can be
found to it in any civilized country. We cow
1t with feelings Of the deepest reluctance, and
only under conviction that it is our duty to
lay 1t before our readers, as a genuine exhibi-
ton of the true state of things at Washington,
and as furnishing very probable explanation
OF the real causes of the late explosion of the
Cabinet. We have heretofore seen an album
dance of matter in relation to the subject of
this correspondence, in other papers, which we
regretted TO perceive, having always regarded
it as topic which should not have been made
the subject of public agitation or discussion
But now that 1t has taken, as it were, an off.
cal shape, and has become identified with the
character of our Government, we place it up
on record as part-a melancholy and revolt
ing part-of the history of our country. We
make no comment upon the dispute itself We
only feel, as eUery american mast feel. that
Scenes like those, aohiist they humble euerg iooer
Of our country, cannot fail TO cause 1t to lie de.
spiSed abroad nor have we words to express
our regret that such occurrences should have
taken place under an administration which we
ardently desired and zealously labored to ele
vate to power, and under whose auspices we
had fondy and confidently trusted, that our
country would have assumed an honorable and
enviable name amongst the nations of the
earth"
