no authority for our opinion. having held

ties, he could not refuse his services to the
country. We have no doubt, that he feels
as deeply as any, the injustice Of the leg

hear, is with the south on This question.
As Secretary Of State. he is arduously en-
gagged in The discarge Of his duty, and at

called themselves The friends of State,

MIR. Editor-It is truly said that single

me ask any gentleman engaged in these

In tho late Wing procession at Naichez,
here was banner for each State OF the
Union with short motto after the uame OF
,he State. The motto for Louisiana was
very appropriate, swell sweeten them
and old South Carolina was insulled by tho
following:
"S. CARoRoLINA-Hemp for Traitors"
The whole course of federal legislation
is such sweeping insult 10 South Caroll-
mans, that we care very little about the
barking Of the puppies of monopoly, and
will therefore confess that there is an ap-
proprlateness in the above motto, OF which
the writer's were perhaps not aware, AS
applied of lale and for long time by the
Benton's and Adams'es, the name of trai-
tor is a designation ofhonor, and we answer
to it with pride-and there is hemp for US,
but it is sent to US in the spirit Of The thief
but not of the erecutloner. For if it be
true that The Legislator who prostitutes his
trust 10 legislale the money Of his fellow
citizens into his own pocket is guilty of
Larceny. Henry Clay is a thief, and the
proofs of his guilt are now in Charleston.
There are some hundreds of bales of Tariff
protected Kentucky Cotton Bagging now in

Atamee,iug ofseveral citizens at Efingham,
Darlington District, the following among other
resolutions were passed.

AT meeting ofseveral citizens at Effingham,
Darlington District The following among other
resolutions were passed.
Asto the Tarif.
ReSolued, That we consider tariff for
protection hostile to the federal constitu-
lion as well as the liberties of the people
and calculated to destroy our excellent
system of government, and that we will
by all due means, constantly and un-
weariedly continue to oppose such policy.
As to the unanmity of. State Action.
+. Resofued, That concurrence of opinion
and unanmily of sentiment are highly i'm
portaut and should be secured by the ci,i
zens of our State, in order 10 accomplish
any great political measure. We there
fore do hereby express our dsapproba,ion
OF Southern Convention, or any olher
political manoeuvre got up with view
to severance Of our Union at present,
with the OLD THIRTEEN and other StBtes
which have by THEM been received into
the same confederacy and especially with
the reccollection fresh on our minds Of the
almost last words Of the father OF our
country, 'frown down in the bud any aud
every attempt at the severance Of the
Union"
As to the Tenure Of The Office ofour Judges
Resolued, That we approve vflhe step
taken by the last Legislature in reference
TO the Tenure of The Office of The Judges
of our State, believing that if some incon
venience may attend the contemplated
change, yet we are of opinion that at sixty
five years Of age, in many inns,ances both
the physical and mental powers Of man
become enfecbled.
The following gentlemen who are can
didates for Congress and the State Legis-
lature, addressed the meeting, and gave
their views on the foregoing resolutions:
George w. Dargan, and, David Gregg.
Esqs., for Stale Senate; Col. Isaac d.
Wilson, John F. Erwin, Esq, and DR..
Zimmerman, for the House of Represen-
a,ives; A. D. Sims, Esq, for Congress.
