refused 10 pledge themselves or their candidates that
measure in the late State election, and subsequently rallied
upon Governor Baldwin for senator, who known to
be opposed to the Compromise, The inference mus, be
that the Republic wishes it to be understood that the
State OF Connection, is hostile the maintenance of the

This is a somewhat singular position for the special
organ Of the compromise wing administration, and is for

that his leading democratic competitors were all sustained

south Carolina.

We have by telegraph brief accounts Of the recen,
proceedings in South Carolina in relation to the sectional
questions which have lately absorbed so much of the
tention of that State.
In the house of delegates Mr. Ayres gave notice Of
his intention TO introduce bill calling the proposed State
convention, TO take for the secession of South
Carolina from the Union Mr.. Owens thereupon offered
resolution virtually opposing the CALL and declaring
the question of separate secession finally and
clusvey settled by the recent vote OF the State. The
resolution lies over for future consideration.
The operation convention assembled at Columbia on
the 29th ult committee, having been appointed at the
previous meeting, consisting OF Langdon Cheyes, Sena
tor Barnwell. Chancellor Johnson James Chestnut, ,
NJ Darkins A. p Aldrich, and John Townsend, submit

according to their judgment, the people Of South Carolina

following resolutions:
Resoipsd That we regard the State as having decided
that whilst the right OF seeding fundamental and indis
puabe right, the exercise OF by single State w,hon,
the well grounded of concurrence and support
States is the appropriate remedy for existing
grievances, sufficient safeguard against those which
in the future and tha, attempt directly or in

conavention of clear declaration OF the public will
Rssoired, That regard the State having decided
that of action smong the slavehong States
sufficient number of them make their action ehectua
essential to the remedy Of existing evils Cooperation

Resolved That the State enternns deep and ndgnan,
sense Of and of the efforts made Cypress
and her and that she will pesevere in her deiermi
nation 10 remove and them tho open-
of other slavehoding States shall give to her action
efficiency, and render her security permanent.
Resopsd That regard these declarations OF public will
having removed all The causes that separate those who
advocate separate secession from those who advocate
operation and that shall feel sincere satisfaction
should they nov unite In pursuing the policy which
the State marked for herself in strict accordance
