From Me IiabGma Argus.
South Carolina.

According to the press in South Carolina, there
is very excited condition of the public mind in
that State-an excitement nearly akin both in lis
nature and intensity to that which prevailed there
during the notification fury of 1881 and 49, The
toasts offered and appauded there during the fcs
tivhies of the late national anniversary starle us
by their vehement animosity against the North,
and hostility toward the Union. Can they truly
indicate the feeling generally existing there? Does
it in the respects mentioned so exceed the indig-
nation at the action and opinions Of the North
which prevails elsewhere in the South? If so, that
feeling cannot be altogether feeling of patriot
ism. There is about it too much of the ferceness
of an old and reawakened hate.
And then the desire for action which these toasts
indicate is too eager to have been all born of the
present occasion. They SAVIOR of purposes and
plans formed before the present crisis of excite
ment upon the slavery questions-and now promptly
and ardcntly avowed in consequence of the hope of
their complishment-whch the present crisis
inspires.
Can the leaders in South Carolina have been pre-
pairing for that State action which some of her poll
ticians have recommended Do they intend to in
volvc the entire South, however unwisc and unne-
ccssary the act may be, in ACKNOWLEDGMENT ofthe
Conlederacy, by the part which they shall make
and affection of the of the savehoding States
will impel them to support and join her?
Such wilfulness on the part of the political lead
ers in South Carolina-such a determination to
control events in which the rest of the South is
much interested as they, according to their own
plans and views, argues an arrogance which ought
not to be tolerated. and unlcindness, if not
tempt, toward the rest of the South which ought not
to be encouraged.
In reference 10 event of such terrible consc-
luences as the dissolution ofan Union which Wash
ington, and the patriots of his time, labored hard
to create-as the overthrow Of a republican Govern
ment, under which we have grown to such pitch
of prosperity, and power, and glory, to have be-
come the political marvel of the world-an event
of such mighty importance, not to US only, but to
our children, and our children's children, TO re-
mote generations, and to mankind at large, the
politicians of single State-and they the most
passionate and reckless of all-ought not to be suf
icrcd TO control the action Of all.

The Fugitive slave Ell,

BY reference TO the Congressional reports in
another column, it viii be seen that the Fugi
tive Slave bill was yesterday ordered by the
Senate to be engrossed for third reading. This
is tantamount TO its final passage by that body.
We congratulate the country upon this aus
picious result. The measure if sanctioned by
the House of Representatives, which we will
not permit ourselves to doubt, cannot fail to eX-
ercise benign and wholesome influence on
section Of the Union which has lone had Just
ground Of complaint on account of the Difficult
ties which its citizens have frequently had TO
encounter in the recovery oftheir fugitive slaves.
The enactment into law of the bill which yes
terday received the favorable action of the Sen
ate will remove these difficulties, secure and
protect the people of the South in the enjoyment
Of the right guaranteed to them by the Consti
tuition to pursue and recover their fugitive
slaves, and thus remove not only source Of
constant irritation to that section OF the Union.
but a real, substantial grievance, under which it
has for many years labored. The measure, we
are sure, will be regarded as satisfactory by our
Southern brethren.

we beg to assure him. and all others, his dclusion
will be- most fatal 10 his hopes and wishes.
If California be admitted, and Governor Towns,
in his qu c zeal to acquire little notoriety,
calls CONVENTION and orders AN election, as con-
templated %y the law OF the last legislature, the
people will take the matter into their own hands,
and will teach Governor Towns, weak and puerile
as he is, the demagogucs of the last Legislature,
and all sectional ultrasts that they know the value
Of this Union, and will preserve it, whether the peo
pie of California adopt reject slavery.
The intelligent, conservative people of Georgia
know their rights and the rights of the citizens OF
California, and they willingly extend to them the
privilege Of exercising all those rights 10 the
exclusion Of slavery. They will not be led by a
class OF factionists and demagogues, who are seek
ing to destroy the bon, into position of hostili-
ty 10 the government, for the exercise of right
which the South has always indicated.
The people Qi California have the undoubted right
to form any constitution not repugnant to the Con
stution of the Union, establish or reject slavery,
and Congress has no power TO control them and 10
right to deny her admission into the Union, pro,
yided she have the requisite population. Georgiana
have too long maintained and too thoroughly salts
fled themselves of the soundness Of these princi-
Piles to reject them at this late day, and follow the
lead of those who seek TO shield their reasonable
purposes by attempting TO make the admission Of
California pretext for assuming position Of hos
lility to the Government
We have no fears of the result when Georgia il
called upon to elect members to the convention to
take into consideration the proprety of dissolving
the Union because of the admission of California.
The patriots of the land will rise in their majesty
and the ultraists will be overwhelmed

Men q the South However the North may
doubt the consequences Of the admission Of CalilOr
MIA she H. and the final rejection Of the line Of
the Missouri compromise, take IL for granted that
there il not one among you who doubt that upon
the happening q the contingency, that the Gov.
crnor Of Georgia will issue his proclamation, that
the delegates Will be chosen, that her convention
will be holden, aud that a. that blasting measure
will then have passed into an rrctritvablc exccu-
ton, the convention will sec IN secession the only
remedy left her, and will ndJptt take II also
for granted that there is not Of you who doubts
that even should Georgia fail TO stand by her re
solves, (Which none who know her gallant people
can belcve,) there other States who will stand
imrnuiably upon the platform Of the Nashville con-
vcntion, and resort TO secession. come what come
may; and that the same consequences must incvi-
tably ensue."
Such is the language employed by writer in the
Southern Press at Washington city, who dcsecratcs
the illustrious name Of " JoHS HAMPpES," by at.
taching il to his article. In The preceding portion
of HE organizing communication, he addresses
himself 10 the men Of tho North, and threatens
them with the secession Of Georgia, II California be
admitted with her constitution and present boun-
daries and then follow the sentences quoted above
Tie seems 10 entertain the opinion that there is
no doubt that Georgia will sfceds from the Union If
California be admitted; at least he would induce
others 20 think he believes. In these days Of
wild fanaticism there il no calculating eshmat-
ing tho powers Of a fervid Imagination, and per-
chance the writer imngines the people Of Georgia
