Our readers already well aware Of the intense

Gen. Hamilton. - The Charleston
Courier publishes letter from Gen.
James Hamilton, dated Washington,
March 18th, in which he notices an an
nouncement Of himself as candidate
to represent the 9TH Congressional Dis
tict of South Carolina, and says that
from " private engagements Of an impe-
rativc character" it will be entirely out
Of his power to serve in that assembly.
After an avowal Of the pride he should
feel in representing his old District, the
conclusion Of the letter is as follows:
Nor should | feel less pride in be-
ing member of a body which, from
the patriotism, firmness, and enlighten-
cd forecast which will characterize their
deliberations, are far more likely to
preserve than dissolre u Union, BY
avowing and maintaining the integrity
and good faith of that Constitution to
which the Union owes it existence.
al hope | may be permitted to add.
from the indications of public scnti-
ment, at this place, we have every rea-
son to hope that pacification will soon
be established between the two great
sections OF this Confcderacy, on terms
of safety and honor to the South, and
in which the north will not be called
upon to surrender single right or In
terest which she can fairly claim, or even
a principle to which the most fastidous
sense of pride could attach the smallest
value.
Any other adjustment but this would
be but hollow and treacherous truce
the fruitful source of renewed agita-
ton, hostility and distrust.
Nor is there less reason to hope
that the great blew Mr.. Webster has
had the moral courage recently to
strike, is but the commencement Of a
reaction in public opinion at the North,
decisive in its character and in its re-
suits. If such consummation should
bless the exertions of this distinguished
statesman, the Union will be indeed
saved, in the only way in which it can
be saved-by spirit Of peace, harmo-
ny and mutual justice"
