CONVENTION AT PH1LAD EbPHIA.

IL The Columbia Times congratuatcs itsel
upon the state of public feeling in S. Carolina in
fsvor Of Notification from the character of the
Atf July toasts. It next derives comfort from a
fesv sympathetic toasts in Georgia. "In Virginia

hu'i'hcation. Undoubtedly the Times will seize, a
we predicted its party would, upon the Convention
Ut Philadelphia, as indicating the part of Viz
sinia' an intention of speedy cooperation with
the nullltyers. Let the consequences OF the mis-
take be upon the head of those who are madlv
rushing into that dangerous scheme. We hope
that the great body of the people Of Virginia,
ing the dangers that multiplying around the
public safety from the excitement of the times will
refuse TO countenance that project and in the
knowledge that the National Debt will now soon
DO paid off, feel confident assurance that that
event will inevitably, without any aid from Conven-
tions, lead to satisfactory modification of the
Tariff. Can they not be content to wait two
three years, when what they desire will be
plished without excitement or danger?

THE NUILIFYERS.

The Georgia COnstitutionast, expresses the fol-
lowing just views of Notification. An intelligent
gentleman with whom we have lately convcrsed
from s. Carolina, declares his persuasion that de-
cisve majority of the people of that State are a
gainst disunion. Georgia on the South, n Caro-
lima and Virginia on the North, against it,
ly without division. Under these circumstances,
can Messrs Hamilton, Hayne and McDuffie, real
ly intend to brave the last extremity We have
had current rumors within a few days, that the
merchants had determined not to pay their duty
bonds: That the u S. Attorney had refused to pro-
secute that, in short it resolved to defer null
LITIGATION no longer. We find confirmation of
these sinister rumors in the Southern papers. The
highest excitement is manifested, but so far it is
confined to talk. The Fourth of July toasts-the
speeches and the ncwspapers-talk of disunion
with every day familiarity, and of war, with uncon-
Germ, but the deed is postponed.
All eyes are riveted upon Mr.. Calhoun. His
promised expose the subject of Notification, is
looked for with intense anxiety by America. We
hope it may not be long deferred, and that when
he does speak, he will speak without disguise, one
way or the other. The crisis of his fortunes has
arrived; abjuration of Notification, opens to him
prospects of the highest honors; avowal of its
doctrines limits his future to the confines of tho
little State he inhabits.
awe see that many of the papers express salts
faction at The pacifc termination of the festivities
of the late 4th July in Charleston. Fears of ciUH
strife were evidently entertained by some; but the
day passed without other conflicts than those of
the rostrum and convivial Observation-Disclosures
the existence of bitter party rescmtments at home,
giving rise abroad, to serious approximations of in
ernal discord should, it to us, furnish an I'M
pressivc lesson to South Carolina. Can the multi
flying party succeed in ta designs? Will they not
be met at the threshold by tlcir fcllowcitizens
mastering strongly in opposition to their views!
They would contend against the General Govern
mcnt-1nust not their first battle be with their own

MIR. VAN buren,.

1t supposed that Mr.. Van Buren, is on the eve
OF sailing for England. Mr. McL,nc must now
be heard from in few days, and his acceptance
ofthe Treasury, will be the signal for MIR. Van Bu-
ren's departure. Accordingly, it is announced at
New York, that the frigate Potomac has arrived
at that port for the purpose of taking the new
Plenpotentiary to England.
We do not wish to cavil-tlerc is no necessity.
Heaven knows, to set ones wits to work, to find
fault with this Administration; but in the language
oftcmperance and moderation, we ask, where is
the necessity of incuring expenditure of $50 or
10000, to transport Ambassador across the At
antic? Pacqucts, elegantly and sumptuously provi-
died. sail every week from Philadelphia or New
York. In earlier and better times, they carried
out our Ambassadors. Why they not good c.
nough now? The New York Age says:-
''Mr Van Burcn.-The Frigate Potomac has ar
rived in our harbour, preparatory to the removal of
the exSecretary of State to the court of St James
Taken altogether, it is perhaps the most open and
fearless abuse of public confidence yet perpctrated
by the Chief Ma gistrate. 1t is conceded, we ba-
lieve, on all sides, that public opinion drove Mr..
Van Buren, from the premiership, and that most OF
the odum attached to the distractions and dssen-
tions at the Seat of Government, were caused by
this gentleman's advice and influence. Indcpcn-
dent OF the thousand dollars SALARY, and the
nine thousand dollars outfit, Gen. jackson has zone
to the expense of THIRTY or FORTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS, in fitting ont fhis Ship of War
to send his Secretary in regal pomp and magnifi-

eceSsary, then not to hesitate to AFFIRM that Col
Johnson hdd no authority from the President; if it
was proved by the testimony of Mcssrs Bcrrisn,
ihgham and Branch-testimonv that the public
must and will crcdit-that Col. johnson did make
the requisiton i'll the Presidents name then to de-
clare that Col Johnson lied in saying he was com
hissioncd by the President; and further to declare
that Messrs. Berrcn, Ingham and Branch, had
themselves discredited hun, by showing the incon-
slstency OF what he told them, and what he lately
wrote to the Editor of the Globe. This we say was
what we anticipated; for we could see no other
possible hole to creep out at. 1t did not occur to
us, that the grave and regular attempt would be
made, to convict Messrs. Berrien, Ingham and
Branch OF conspiracy and menddcity. We think the
Republican has chosen its ground, with the better
judgment.
1t is unfortunate however, for the course of de-
fence adopted by the Republican, that the fact of
ooi. Johnson having been>commissioned by the
PRESIDENT, is sustained by the conversations had
with the President, by Messrs. Berrien and Ingham.
and no doubt, Mr.. Branch also. Whoever will
again look over the statements of the two first
named, will find, we think, ample proof that (.f
they are to be belered the President after he had
gof cool; when he longer tho "roaring lion''
SO fguratvely depicted by Col. Johnson; said that

he had made the requisiton through Col. Johnson

however, go from our county to cnumerate politi-
