irigato blockade Of the port of Charleston;
showing that u blockade is ACT or WAR, and
that all the authorities Of the Federal Govern
mcnt combined, have not the power to declare
war against n State of this coniederacy-and
that the idea of federal army being detailed TO
execute the tariff acts in this State, Is essentially
prepostcrous and QuxotIc. The manifest absurd-
! ty of armed force to subdue nuillhcation IN >.
Carolna the awkwardncss of the enterprise; the
| farce of a Federal army hunting notification a.
mongst the peaceful abodes of her citizens, or in
her courts Of justice; seemed palpaoie To every
hcnrer. Tho complete success oil the argument
and riiicule which exposed and rcbuked the fanci-
full dread OF forcs from the General Government,
was demonstrated by the immense applause with
which they were received, and the REIMBURSEMENT
which many publicly made OF their doubts and
their opposition to notification.
MIR. McDuie the veil from 'southern con.
vcnton," and showed that the advocates of this
miserable project, either tariff men, or men OPP
posed t. all efficient, of relief; that such bo-
dy, even it really contemplated effective opposi-
ton to the tariff, can adopt efficient measure;
and after all the delay of getting it up, its abors
must of necessity result in an humble petition or
an impotcnt remonstrance. We have never, on
any occasion, Witnessed q most triumphant appeal
TO the human understanding, than that which cvin-
ccd the utter incihciency of southern conven-
ton, and the cxpediency and ultimate necessity of
State remedies. The intensity OF interest with
which this powerful speech was heard, is attested
by the fact that this immense crowd were stand
evidence or fatigue or impotence. The above are
only very few of the many interesting topics
upon which Mr. McDufiie remnrked synopsis of
the whole speech have neither time nor abili-
ty To furnish.
After Mr.. McDuffic concluded, the band play
ed "Bruco's Address i'll fine style, and the meet
ing partook of barbecue, which had been hand
somely provided for the occasion. About two
O'Clock the crowd again assembled around the
stand and by invitation from the committee of r
engagements, the Hon. John X. Griffin of Newbury,
and Major Davis of Georgia, delivered short, but
patriotic and spirited addresses. The meeting was
afterwards addressed by several other gentlemen,
and adjourned about o'clock in perfect harmo-
n.y.
We were pleased to see that no wines or liquors
of any kind, were provided by the committee OF
arragemonts and that it received the undivided ap-
probation of the meeting.

trct rs placing beyond contingency the cause Of

MAiNE-By the electoral law, passed last win

prevent the Jackson ticket from obtaining plural
ity, which it probably will do without such an or
ganizcd and united opposition. The recent cleo
ton of Governor indicates great changes in some
portions of The State, and encourages the hope that
the National Republican Clay ticket for electors
might obtain the highest number of votes; but it is
better to make assurance doubly sure;" and this
only be done by union Of the entire opposi-
ton, among all parties.
