SOUTH CAROLINA. The Convention of
South Carolina, will be re-assembled in
very few days, for the purpose of considr-
ing the propositions made by Virginia,
through her ambassador, the Honorable
Benjamin Watkins Leigh. 1t is now re-
duced to the next thing to a certainty,
that the opperatlon ofthe Ordinance will
be postponed, and compromise be affec-
ted by the interference of those, who like
MIR. Clay and his associates, wish to avert
the horrors of civil war and save South
Carolina from ruin.

1t has been repeatedly asserted by one
Of our political opponents, that this paper
was under the control Of the Hon. Samu-
ell Randall. This assertion was no doubt
made for political effect, With view to
prejudice the minds ofthe members of our
General Assembly, and others,-:that nc
was not only using his influence against
the national administration in his semi
annual circuits, but through that powerful
engine. the NORTHERN STAR. Now we
positively assert, (and challenge any
proofto to the contrary that Judge r. has
never written any article (witk the ex-
ception Of about three lines, and adver-
tisemenis,) that has ever appeared in this
paper. Neither has he advised with US,
in any way whatever, with respect to our
management ofthis paper nor have we
ever asked his advice respecting the most
proper course for us to pursue. To gsat-
ify curiosity we will state, that Judge K.
has been in this & flee to the number oi
sir times and that we were a member ol
his family for more than Is years.) This
charge had been so repeatedly made, and
the person who made It 30 often told that
no one had the management Of this paper
save our humble selves, that we did not
consider it worthy Of notice and should
not have advcrted to it at this time, had
not the charge been recently repeated,
and had not the facts in the case been
made known to The Hon. gentlemen, by
Judge r. himself. But all this does not
satisfy the man. "It is too bad!" What!
one man have so much political influence!
Judge of the Court, and Post Master ;and
not satisfied with that but he must have
the control Of that " Little Primer" the
4" Warren Skyl;ght." Impossible /! 1t
must not be so. Gentle Reader, would
you have thought that this little sheet had
such an influence in the political hemis-
phere Of Rhode Island
We ore well aware that we are one OF
the most abusive little editors in Rhode
Island, as our past numbers will afford a.
bundant proof;--and we do not feel will
ing that Judge r. or any other man,
should have the credit Of conducting 90
scurrillous paper as the " Warren Sky
light" is represented to be by some Of its
friends

Eriday. Mr.. ". yielding the floor to Mr..
Rives Of Virginia, who addressed the
Senate from l2 to 8 O'Clock, on the Rev
cnue Collection Bill.
"Mr. Rives went on to carry out this
intention, in very earnest and ingenious
argument. He cut up the Modification
doctrines by the roots, gathered them to-
gether, and flung them away. He shove
ed That they were utterly inconsistent
with the recorded OPINIONS and views Of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, John
Taylor, of Carolina, and others of the
fathers, founders, and defenders Of the
Constitution. The Virginia doctrines Of
'99 he had imbibed from earliest studies,
partialities and associations. He adhered
10 them inAexibly still, and would main
tain them with his latest breath. But the
modern interlopations on the text he utter
1y repudiated and rejected. You may
easily imagine the effect of his speech on
the Senate and crowded auditory.
Gen. Smith, of Maryland was speaking

The BLIND. We cannot remember
(says the Philadelphia Ga zette) to have
been more Interested and gratifed, than
on Witnessing, yesterday afternoon, the
school exercise Of a blind lad, pupil OF
Mr. Friedlander, who has been only about
fifteen days under that ingenious gentle
mans tuition. The youth has in that
short time, been enabled to spell, toread,
and to write: to trace the different states,
cities and towns, lakes and rivers, on the
map of the United States, with unerring
precision--to play upon the piano; to
make guard chains to weave silk fringe;
and to print bis name with movable wood
en- stamps. All these requirements
have been gained within fifteen days!

PuNcruALIrY OF GEN. WASHINGTON
When Gen. Washington assigned to meet
Congress at noon, he never failed to be
passing the door of the hall while the
clock was striking
Not unlrequently new members
Of Congress, who were invited to
dine with him, delayed until dinner was
over and would then remark, "Gentle-
men, we are punCtual here. My cook
never asks whether the company has ar
rived, but whether the hour has," When
he visited Boston, in 1899, he appointed
3 o'clock, A. M, as the hour when he
should set out for Salem !; and while the
Old South clock was striking eight, he
was mounting his horse. The company
of cavalry which volunteered to escort
him, were parading in fremont street af-
ter his departure, and it was not unit il the
Gen. reached Charles River bridge that
they overlook him. On the arrival of the
corps, the General, with perfect good ma
ture, said, "Major-,I ! thought YOU
had been too long in my family, not to
know when It was o'clock" Capt.
Pease, The father of the stage establish
ment in the United States, had beautiful
pair of horses which he wished to dispose
OF to the General, whom he knew to be
an excellent Judge Of horses. The Gen.
appointed Eve o'clock in the morning to
examine them. But the Captain did not
arrive with the horses until quarter past
Eve. when he was told by the groom that
the General was ther 9 at five, and then
fulfilling other engagements. Pease,
much mortified, was obliged to wait O
week for another opportunity, merely fol
delaying the first quarter of an hour.

VINO were rejoicing to see a prospect OF the final triumph
oil their principles, and calls them a large number, his
statement is perfectly correct, and quite easily understooi;
yet notwithstanding the very large number mentioned by
a meeting on the appointed day. For what cause il was
deferred, l am ignorant; unless they were fearful a suff.
cient number could not be collected to pass resolutions in
opposition to those denominated by the writer, as MI. Ran
dolph's, or perhaps public opinion had been so decided and
unanimous in appreciation Of the resolutions, that many yo.
tiers had despaired OF ever ehecting a change. When the
resolutions of Mr.. Randolph were passed, the meeting was
more numerous and the people more interested than / ever
saw them upon any former occasion, when they were call

ialrs and l can further say, that no resolutions were ever
adopted with greater unanimity. Before the passage of
the resolutions, public opinion was somewhat fucuating;
uonlsts, General Jackson with the Force Bill in his hand,
nor even ' Many Voters" with all their weight, can
ever produce the slightest change, although they may la
bour till doom's-day. Ii is needless to say more, for as |
