WASHINGTON Oct. Gath, 1850.
SIR The political world is preparing for a
display in these United States as well as in
''other quarters of the WORLD" during the CON-
ing WINTER if the States of South Carolina, Geor-
gla and Mississippi, may be denominated as
such, after the fashion of President Taylor's
Message. Certainly, many of the rabid politi
clans in those States would have US believe that
there is no Crest of mankindn but themselves
True, there are some others, but constitutions
and laws; were not made for them, only SO far,
as 10 receive their form of action from the FORE
going recusant States Of the South.
1t is sincerely to be desired that the Hon. JAS
GARLAND, will intercept our Senators, Messrs.
HUNTER and Mason, and read 10 them his i'll
teresing aud most valuable letter, addressed 10.
aud published in, the JeHersonan at Charl ottes-
vile: such sentiments OF love for the '!Uniou'
as promulgated by MIR. GARLAND, may well be
taught our Senators. Aud as [ hear they have
visited Rockingham, perhaps they may extend
their jouinev to Albemall lie and Augusta; in that
event, il MIR. Garland is not at hand, your dis
iin.uished representative in Congress, Gov. Nc
DowrLL, could be soon rallied from Rockbfid2e,
and he is the man TO debate these questions, in
which the South is 50 much interested, and, as
a consequence, interested, in the cementug OF
The Uoion, now assailtd by the dsunionis,s OF
| the South and The fanatics OF the North. Our
Senators, 10 be sure, are net de jacto, disunonsls,
hui during The last " inter they did but little 10
sustain the Uuiou, by their votes in the Senate.
Besides they signed The protest, that wooden horse
OF h,liication, which looks as il they did not
have mind of much love for CLAW and ORDER"
after the California bill had passed Congress.
With The able letter Of Judge BAYLY to his
constituents; and the admirable letter OF N1r.
GARLAND; Intended ;!lor all the world" extern
sively circulated in the Old Dominion, there
can be no question but the Slate will he found
where she has Arrays been, ready and willing 10
defend the Constitution as 1t is; and opposed to
secession i'll every shape and form, so long as
the spirit of that constitution secures 10 the
North and South equal privileges and equal
rights, despite the ravug mad cap politicians
North or South. To be. sure the South has been
somewhat badly treated, but, it mus, be recol-
lected, that we ourselves assented 10 that first
| mishap, that first encroach mept on our rights,
The so called "Alissouli COMPROMISED y but that
Was no compromise al all; it was our concession;
aud being conceded, was readily assenled to;
AID The South was just that much the loser
SILL The Souh was willing 10 adhere to the COM
pact, aud we are aeaiu outvoted by the forms Of
the Constitution, & very much 10 The detriment
OF our peculiar Institution. Yet, that defeat
would not justify a dissolution in the present
sage Of the question. When we are deprived
oil our rights i'll thai property not, as now, when
we ave recovering somewhat OF that which we
have lost, is the proper time TO preach crusade
Of determination ard non-intercourse with our
| sister States. Let 'union and concession be
the motto Of all the friends of order, and peace
will be restored once more to our distracted
country. See that South Carolina has rejected
the Hon. MIR. HOLMES from her Congressional
delegation. He is, decidedly, the most unex-
cepioabe ,rao from that State. II is slrewd-
| " suspected that he is a "Union man y hence,
The Palmetto State has rejected him, because be
has houaht 10, himself and the Union. Mr..
| Holmes should now hoist the E:Union fa.3 iu
Somh Carolina, and like the gallant MARION, Of
revolutionary memsry, what matters seven
years. contest, he WILL in The end, be viciori-
ous--lhere can be no question Of it.
Ou' Convention, we hear from Richmond
have .halked out much work 10 be doue, and we
hope that it may be well done; and that the
prosperity Of the State may be commensurate
| with the patriotism ofihe Old Dominion, in her
adherence to the compact Of the Uuon. l fear
lie men,bers will have some sharp shooting on
| ihe representative question; but hope all ihiues
will be settled amicably and in unison with the
feelings OF The different sections OF the State
We are decidedly in favor of the principle that
| The people stall elect their own rnlels. l shall
disapprove of The Constitution if this improve
menl is not engrafied on it.
| Yours. WAYNE.
