VIII be a source of grateful Joy to every pa-
trlot to see portion of the North thus showing
ieF rnwillingness TO disturb the Compromises
OF the Constitution, and distract the peace and
quiet OF the Union. This Convention adopted
the following Resolutions:
Resolged, That we deprecate anv sep
arate and sectional organization in any
portion of the country, having for their
opJect the advocacy of an isolated point
involving feeling and not fact, p,ide and
not principle, as destructive to the peocc

posed to repeal the laws MAKING the
country free, and to erect Others in their
stead for the extension of slavery we
deem 1t inexpedient and improper to add
to the further distraction Of the public

secured by the iawsof the land.

The Spartan thinks that he recognises in the
initials 'B. III. W." the name of Brisbane" and
says that a person of that name left the lower
part of the State some 9 or . years ago, and
thinks that his name was w. H. Brisbane,
which will answer tc the initials transposed.-
The spartan also says that he does not pretend
to know, but believes that this person is the
real author of "Carolinian or BrutuS"
We have been informed that such n person
as w. III. Brisbane did once reside in this State
and that for some cause decamped some years
since. The writer of "Brutus" is certainly
well acquainted with our internal polity, and
ifthc above information be correct, there is n
strong probability that Brisbane is the author,
We should expect nothing less than that the
renegades from our State should be the leaders
in the attack upon our institutions. But they
have gone to the free soil and learned their
diabolcal schemes ere they SO far degraded
themselves.

f. HARDWOOD, OF cINcINNATTf.


This person, who says that he was principal
ly instrumental in getting Barrett's appoint
ment has written 4 long letter to the Editor of
the "Laurensville Herald" expostulating with
him for denolmcing Barrett. He says that
Barrett is "a man of fine feelings and high
moral worth"-and that he knew nothing of
his principles upon the subject of slavery
that he feels deeply for Barrett, coniurcs the
Editor to unsay wimt he has said, and winds
up by telling him tina, he is an aholitionst
1t is not in the least wonderful TINT an en-
ployer should feel for his agent, particularly,
when he has sent him into n field where he
knew there was danger. We have no doubt
that Mr.. II. would be glad to hnve Barrett lib
Grated. But why does he feel SC much anxiety
for him, if, according to his statement, he left
him solely for the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation for "GazetteerY No one should feel
anxiety for an agent who had forgotten the
duty with which he was charged, and turned
his attention to something altogether foreign
and which he knew was bordering on danger
ous ground. The truth is, that one object, yes
the principal business of Barrett's visit to our
State was to circulate inccndiary publications,
and to furnish such information to the Aboli.
tionists as would enable them most advan.
tageously to carry out their plans against
Southern institutions
Can a man be of fino feeling and high moral
WORTH who makes different statements as to
his principles at different placesa That may
be according to Free Soil notions, but we re-
joice that in the South different standard is
adopted. The truth cannot be disguised, and
Barrett has convicted himself by his OWL
statements, of being liar and hypocrite
When at this place he said that he was op.
posed to slavery in principle, but had nothing
to do with it in practice. At Laurens he tells
"hc is Southern man, knows nothing of the
Abolitionists and detcsts them" If any person
can make aught more of these two declarations
than we have, be is at liberty to draw his own
conclusion
There is but little doubt but that letters will
be constantly received throughout the State,
the object of which will be to make the i'm
preston that Barrett is the innocent victim
and to excite public sympathy in his favor.
We can just say to the friends of Barrett. tnat
they had as well save their time ink and paper
for all that they can do will not in thu least
change public sentiment, unless it be for the
worse tor their emissary.

RECOGNITION OF THE ROMAN RE.
pURIIC

A letter from Rome of the 10th ult states
the Republic of Rome was on that day ac.
knowledge by one of the South American
States
Since that date Rome, the eternal City,
has fallen into the hands of the French. After
" hard but fruitlcss defence, she was compelled
on the 3oth ult, to acknowledge the suprcma
cy OF the French arms, and give them posses
sion OF the city. Thus has France crippled a
sister Republic, which it should have been her
pleasant duty to have fostered and sustained
what o beautiful commentary is this upon
French Repubicanism.

the South in it's greatest extent. They passed
unanimously the following Resolution
Resolution, That we are opposed to
the extension of Slavery into territory
now free, and that we believe it to be the
duty of the Federal Government to re-
lievc itself of the responsibility of that
institution wherever it has the constitu-
tional authority to do so, anu hat the
Legislation necessary to effect these OBJ

few such men at the South In our own State
we know no such parties, all being united in a
solid phalanx against Northern aggression and

On last Friday evening, man, calling BIN
selfThomas Reese, was brought to Jail, charged
in the Warrant of Commitment with being
guilty of n Msdomeanor' On. Saturday
morning he was brought before two Magistrates
OH writ of Habcas Corpus and discharged.
The circumstances connected with the affair
are as follows: Reese was passing through the
District in search of a school. Stopping at
school-house, he entered into conversation. du
ring which he spoke of Voltaire, Hume and
Bolingbrokc, and said that these works would
not do to be publicly read For this he was
arrested and sent to Jail. The appearance of
Reese showed that he was at least partially
insane, and his actions and conversation proved
to all who saw him that such was the case
leaving no doubt but that the subject of re-
ligion had materially affected his mind. The
Magistrates were of opinion that there was no
ground specified in the warrant sufficient to
detam him, regarding him as more an object
for sympathy than suspicion.
We find in the last Palmetto State Banner
a neat and tasteful Valedictory of Mr.. f. ],

that he mayrealiz by his profession that pat
