TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, loou.
s1E- There will be public meeting at Column
bia on Monday, to hear from our Delegates to the
Southern Convention
sy- We have received copy of all Eulogy OIL
the departed Calhoun, delivered at Cahawba, Ala,
by George ]. S. Walker, Esq. 1t is tribute 1--WE
were going to say) worthy the man. In it we find
these words, taken from his last speech, which
should be engraved on the memory of every
Southern man: "The South asks for justice, sim.
ple justice, and less she ought not to take.
w- We have received a copy of the speech OF
the Hon John Mcqueen in the House OF Repre-
sentatives. We will give it to our readers at as
early date as possible in toto Through it, runs
spirit which should actuate our southern mem-
hers all (and we are happy to say, does our own
delegation,) never to submit to wrongs or ndlgnl-
ties such as the North are now trying to heap up
on us.
:Y The probability Of rupture between New
Mexico and Texas-say some Of the compromise
papers-is every day increasing; therefore, Con-
gress should pass the compromise. Pass 1t to
avoid what? slight rupture between few hum
dred western people-and for that pass the COM
promise-which is equivalent to the degradation
ofon half the Union. Aprecedent upon which is
to be built, series of faggressive measures upon
the South, which will eventually rob her of every
right, and make her to the North what Ireland is
to England. No, Father Ritchie, if New Mexico
and Texas dispute about small portion of terri
tory, don't ask the South to make slave of her.
SELF in order to keep them from.quarrelins. Tex
as has an Alamo, and we Yorktown; either OF
these places will tell you how far the South is to
be imposed upon.
100 CHEERS LOUDLY CALLED.-A gentleman has
stopped his paper, because, as he says, we copied
strong Southern article from the Camden Jour-
nal.' We can imagine how one may be blamed
for going too feebly and weak for Southern rights,
but how they can be too strong for these interests,
we leave 10 the elucidation of this sage and cru
dte seeding subscriber.
He has our thanks 1000 times, for stopping his
subscription, as we have in the place Of his name,
since, three good Southern subscribers with South
ern feelings.
We like to chronicle these things, because we
have strong faith in the opinion that there are fif
ty true men in the South to untrue. One hun
dred that would stop their paper on account of
its weakness, to one that would get wolfish, and
stopit OIL account of its being strongly Southern.
We do not plead persecution or martyrdom to
increase our list; it increases fast enough when
such subscribers, as thee alluded to, drop of.
Ifhe supposes we read his long, dry, dull, Ct
must have been dull,) prosy lecture or sermon, or
whatever it was that followed the request to stop
his paper, he egregiously fatters himself we read
not word beyond his saving "for the copying"
the Journals article. He has right to stop his
paper, but he is sier than believe him to be, if
he thinks he can stop me from copying from the
Camden Journal or any other paper. If his frame
wastwice as large as it is, he could not do it.
But maybe he was trying to ape the aristocracy
that stopped the Saturday Post" In this he is
successful, as he apes most gloriously.
Don't be so apish nor so wofsh next time; and
write no more than what will be read; say about
four stupid lines.
Note-We refer our readers TO letter on an in
side column. which is an offset to the one above
alluded to; and we request our friends Of the
Journal in Camden to write another very strong
article that we may copy it-Charlotte (N. CO.
Hornets Nest
Permit us, friend Badger, to mingle our congrat-
ulations with your joy, at being rid Of such sub
scriber. You are Hght-there are fifty true men
to one false one. 1t is such men as him, who sup
port adjustments-and such men as support GER
tain Adjustments fthe same school, as those
who used to congregate in the days of &c, when-
ever the Patriots were weakest, and who the men
of that dav called tories. Depend upon it, friend
Badger, his ancestors were not comprised in that
noble list Of citizens in old Mecklenburg, who were
the first to raise the flag Of Freedom, and sent
voice forth which has rung the knell of Tyranny,
and taught men how to be free. Well ensure he
would vote for the compromse-and we can say
nothing of a Southern man that is worse. If YOU
please throw all those rotten eggs out of the "Nest"
and we will assist you in getting sound ones.
Letter of Hon. d. Wallace.
We publish to-day letter from Gen. Wallace
to the Editor of the Jackson (Miss.) Southron
This is not the only instance where Gen. w. has
had occasion to take up Editors who have display
ed considerable aptitude in making against him
gratuitous and untounded charges as we'll as cir
culatne statements zifferly false and unfDuuded"
