GEN. HoUsToN.-In a recent speech in the Sen
ate, Gen. Houston stated that the odor of null6ca
ton was 30 strong in South Carolina, that it was
not deemed prudent to originate and start in that
State the project for southern convention at Nash
Vile, and SO the ball sent to Mississippi to be
first put in motion in that quarter. We have no
doubt of the correctness OF this opinion. South
Carolina, by her continued outcry on all and every
occasion, and by her ultra opinions and proceed
ings, has weakened or destroyed her influence
with her sister States that it is sufficient to destroy
the efficiency and success of any general measure
to have it originate with her. Let the other States
of the South take warning and act with more pru-
dence discretion, and judgment.
