Our readers are aware that Mr.. Il. Barn
well Rhctt, formerly a member of Congress
from South Carolina, and delegate from
that State to the recent Southern Conven-
ton at Nashville, delivered speech at a pub
lie meeting in Charleston, on hisreturn from
the Convention, which has been character
lied as a disunion speech. The following
extract from the speech, which we find in
the journal Of Commerce, will place the
question as to its disunion doctrines beyond
dispute:
Looking to the past-looking TO the ma
turc Of things-I deem ali reliance on the
good faith Of the free States 10 protect the
institution OF Slavery in the South, vain and
futile. The South must protect itself It's
iorcc is powerless in Congress and in the
Union, because il is Il minority. To give to
our people that protection and peace which
the Constitution and Union was established
to secure the South, she must sever the con-
nexion with the North.
"If dissolution Of the Union is the stern
alternative TO submission to government
without limitation in its powers, ii may not
be improper TO glance at its consequences on
the physical prosperity of the South. Such
considerations are as nothing to the great
ends Of liberty and security, but may well
be looked 10 in view of adopting this alter.

els there anything the Union now affords,
which the South could not as well possess
without it? In the taxes imposed and ex-
pended, we viii be free. One-lhird the rate
of duty We now pay on the chief articles Of
our imports, by the Tariff of the Union,
will be amply sufficient for tho wants Of gov
ernment, whilst all revenue FROM taxation
will be spent within ourselves The voice Of
insult and accusation, instigating insurrccIion
within our borders, will be hushcd. By our
physical power we can protect ourselves a.
gainst foreign nations; whilst by our pronuc-
lions we can command their peace or sup
port. The keys of their wealth and COM
mcrce are in our hands, which We will freely
offer TO them by system of free trade, ma

curi'y their care. The lingering or decay
ing cities of the South which before ourrey-
olution carried on all their foreign commerce
buoyant with prosperity and wealth. but
which now are only provincial towns, slug

rise up to their natural destiny, and again
unfold ia their embraces the rich commerce
of the world. That desoIation, more sad
than desert habitAtions or grown streets
or crumbling walls--that desolation which
enters into the domestic circle and robs the
heart of the happy inmates who surround it

The Death of Taylor,

He's breathd his last-no more we'll see
His honest brow and manly form;
Chant the sad strain with melody,
And bear the sacred notes along.
America has lost friend,
On whom her fondest hopes were cast;
Der land and sea the tidings send
Bravo Taylor's gone! he's breath'd his las
Not on the tented field he died,
Where nobly freedoms cause he urged,
But with his dear ones by his side,
To sleep in peace and rest in God.
Earth's highest honor kept he true
In sacred trust-with heart sincere;
We're forc'd in pain TO say, Adicu
As frcemen all, let's drop tear.
AS mourners, too, let's chant the strain
OF sorrow for the brave and good
For e'cn his foes could not refrain
To call him honcst-wcll they should.
His dying words, am prepared"
Shew well his duty nobly done;
His only pain was that he cared
For those he left behind so soon.
