A Loud voice for Disunion.

Hon. J.. w. Hayne, one of the speakers,
who addressed the "Southern Rights"
meeting at Charleston, South Carolina,
on the Sd inst, gave utterance TO senti'
menis Of dIsunion, which trans cend any
thing we have heard in that line, for
some time past. And the most signih-
cant part of the business is, that the
loudest applause greeting almost every
sentence that follows:
We have no faith in those affections
whose circumference is SO extended that
we cannot find centre to the CIRCLE
South Carolina is our centre, and we
insist that it is no treason .'to love her"
even though il should be "death TO de-
fend." "a felon's death" forsooth!--
Mr.. Chairman, the incarnato God HIM
self died the death of the cross, died be-
tween two thieves, and the charge "a
gainst him was treason.
Fellow citizens, there may be danger
in disunion-aye, there is danger; we
can brave that; but there is no disgrace.
! have a peculiar right to despise this
taunt, and to hurl back OH those who Ut
ter it my scorn and defiance. Whatev-
er Of pride of ancestry ! possess, rests
upon my reverence for one who died up
on the "gaIows" -one who paid Mr.
Webstcr's "Hemp Tax" who died that
"awkward death" in the air, "without
touching the grounds" one of Mr.. Clay's
traitors, who met that "doom' which he
now threatens; aud here pledge myself
that when South Carolina commands,
tina. traitors grandson will not shrink
from obeying her, though treason and
"gallows" were Kissed from the mouth
of forty thousand Clays, and all Yam
keedom echoed with the sound.

~ The last Republic makes a great
ado about our remarks in regard to the
Bounty Land Bill, and winds up with
saying tina; we ''partake SO much of the
vegetable that it will be necessary for us
TO keep out of the way of the cows"
If they had said we should keep out OF
the way of some other tOng-eared ami
mails, we should not presume ever to
intrude ourselves into their company.
The pi,h Of the thing is. that instead OF
making little capital out OF our re-
marks. we were likely to make some
thing of Of them, SO they cry inconsistent
cy and "prevaricaiion."
All can see for themselves that our po-
sition was never changed, in regard to
this matter. if they will read all our re-
marks and not garble them as the Re-
public has done.

Removal of the Capital.

The Republic, Gazette, Ha,Dktye,
Fl. Desmoines Star, and Burlington
Telegraph, are discussing the subiec, Of
tho removal of the State Capital.
The Iowa City papers strongly oppose
this measure, rs matter of course.
The Reporter is getting quite hostile,
and says that Bates of the Star, is only
fishing 10 be made te..Printer.
There is much difference of opinion
on this subject, both in regard TO the 10
cation and the time Of removal. The
Hacheye is in favor of Oskaloosa,
while majority of the others are look
ing TO TT. Dcs Moines. That the Cap
ital will ultimately Dedicated in the Des
Moines Valley, we have not a doubt: but
whether il is exredient TO remove i, now
and go to the expense of building new
State House we are not satisfied. That
some permanent location should be made
with a view OF removing il at some lu-
iure time, is a question that all will agree
10; but the time we presume will be the
greatest difficulty TO settle.

South Carolina.

VIM. Aiken, Isaac e. Holmes and
James Smith Rhett, were candidates for
Congress in the Charleston District, at
the late election. Rhett was avowedly
for peaceable dissolution of the Union
for secession. Holmes, the present
member, indicated by his course in Con-
gress what he was for: he was very viii
ling 10 get all the appropriations he could
for custom Houses, &c, in South Caro-
lima, at the same time that he was willing
10 go out of the Union. We have seen
no expression of Aiken's views, but az
the Telegraph advises us that the Union
candidate had a majority Of seven hun
dred votes over the Disunionsts, we
suppose he was opposed to the dssolu-
ton of the Union on grounds advocated
by the demAgogues and Disunionists Of
The South. A like expression of opiu-
ion in other parts of the State, will put
an end to all such demonstrations in the
Southern States, and ought to call forth
an equally strong rebuke from the people
of the North, upon the traitors, nullifiers
and w-breakers of that section OF the
country.
John E. Carcw and Henry A. De
Saussure were candidates for the Senate.
Capt. Carew was Disunionist, and fly
ured in meeting of the Charleston Ri
flemen, in some proceedings of which,
among other things, it was resolved, that
lit becomes the duty of every man in
South Carolina to hold himself prepared,
with all the means which God has given
him, to defend her homes, her interest
aud her honor;' and s'tirat this Company

cause of Southern Rights, and stands
ready TO do its utmost in any post our
State may assign" II was declared,
moreover. that the time was near at hand
when the defence of the rights, history
and freedom of South Carolina, must
"depend on the last, stern argument: the

A Mammoth Railroad.

A bill has recently passed both branch
.es of Congress making grant of Pub
lie Lands for the construction of rail-
road from Mobile and the Gulf Of Mex
leo 10 the city of Chicago. Engineers
have been over the whole route passing
through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes-
see, Kentucky and Illinois. According
to their reports, the distance from Mobile
10 the mouth of the Ohio river, is 492.
TO Lake Michigan, SGT miles. From
Mobile to the Ohio river, the route sur
veycd runs slightly west of north
thence TO the lake il is almost the same
degree east of north. The average dis
lance from the Mississippi river is nine
ty miles. 1t crosses no navigable streams
except the Ohio; and is unobstructed by
the tributaries of the Mississippi, Tom
beebee, Tennessee and Wabash rivers;
hence it will beseen that the route cross
es large tracts of country nearly wholly
desii,u'e Of natural channels of commu-
nication. In length it is only / per
cent. longer than direct air line; and
it will intersect and cross some six or
eight of the railroads now building to
connect the Eastern and Western cities
OF the Union; besides il can be easily
and cheaply extended TO the more inn
porianl towns and wealthy districts by
means of branch roads. The aggregate
population of the counties to be mainly
accommodated by this road, is estimated
at one million, with an export and inn
port Tonnage of 100000 tons. The pop
ulalion of the country, the markets of
which are mostly nj the gulf ports, is
supposed TO be upwards of five millions,
with an export and import tonnage of A.
90s,O00 The total cost of this road,
entire and complete, with heavy iron
rails 60 pounds to the yard, and every
thing necessary for the opening business,
is estimated at $4,000 per mile, $l7,-
100000 for the road complete sum
which amounts to less than one half Of
that invested in railways by the city Of
Boston alone.

pertinent of tunneling the 1'ames river,
was brought before committee of the

The uticn Convention.

The Convention Of the National
Wings" of New York. assembled at u
iica on the 18Th inst, and consisted of
1913 delegates. Hon. Francis Granger
filled the same position in the Syracuse
Convention, was elected President, and
quite number of Vice Presidents were
appointed. Mr.. Granger delivered quite
an able speech on taking the Chair
Speeches were also made by Messrs
Duer, Ullman, Collier, lIoxie, Brooks
and kc.chum.
Hon. A G Linn reported the resoln-
lions, which included those rejected al
Syracuse, and Of which the following is
the last:
Resolved, That as having confidence
in the integrity, ability, and sound Wing
principles rof the gentlemen placed in
nomination by the Syracuse Convention,
and those gentlemen not being pledged
expressly or implicitly to the support of
the principles declared by that Conven-
ton, and believing, from the public dec
araiions Of some and the known opin-
ions o: others, that the course pursued
by the majority of that body does not
meet with their approval, we hereby rec
ommcnd 10 the general support of the
Wings Of the State, for Governor, Wash
ingion Hunt; for Lieutenant Governor,
George j. Cornell; for Canal Commits
sioner, Ebeneezer Bakeley; for State
Prison Inspector, Abner Baker; FOR Clerk
OF Court of Appeals Vessel S. Smith,
and we pledge 10 The candidates thus
nomin- ted, nur entire and hearty support.
Thus, it appears that whatever differ
enccs Of opinion caused The secession q,

for State offices is concerned. Whelhe r
