The receipt Of the Proclamation Of the President at
CharIeston, and also at Columbia where the legisa-
in session, produced great CONSERVATION and
hot blood amongst The Null6ers, but oy the Union
party hailed the harbnger which WINS likely TO
restore peace and harmony throughout the state. In
the legislature, upon the annunciaiiOn OF the proca-
nation, threats ofde6ance were Immediately thrown
cut against the President aud the greatest excitement
was the consequence. The Union men, though bu, a
handful n the popular branch ofihe legislature
frm aud undismayed by the surrounding storm. We
have given few extracts from the papers TO show
their spirit. We cannot hut think that the Nulifers
will come down again in few days from their high
toned staggering and bravado, and become good aud
peaceabie citizens.

Proclamation from the Governor OF South Carolina.
Robert Y. Hayne, in reply to that Of the President
I. is very long, nearly long the Presidents, and
takes up that document by piece-meal and comments
upon with considerable ability and little asper
". In the course Of his argument, he, indirectly,
calls upon aeighbOsing States to the help Of
South Carolina. We do not think il worth while to
