The following are the Resolutions which were
adopted by the Secessionists at Charleston:--
Mr. Maxcy Gregg, from the Select Committee Of
Twenty-oue, submitted the following resolutions
a. expressive Of the sense OF the Convention:
l. Resolved, That in the opinion Of this meet
ing the state Of South Carolina cannot submit to
the wrongs and asgiessions which have been per-
petrated by the Feeders Government and the North
ern States, without dishonor and ruin; and that it
is necessary to relieve herself therefrom, whether
with or without the cooperation Of other South
ern States.
.. Resolved, That concert OF action with one or
more of our sister States Of the South, whether
through the proposed southern Congress, or in any
other manner, is an object worth many sacrifices;
but not the sacrifice involved in submission.
,. Resolved. That We hold the right of secess-
of the states Of this Conederacy; and that the
NAL OF that right would furnish to injured State
the strongest additional cause for its exercise.
I. Resolved, That this meeting looks with con.
to exert the sovereign power Of the State IN de-
fence OF its rights at the earliest practicable peri
oil. and in the eiectual manner; and to the Le
gslature to adopt the most speedy and enectua!
measures towards the same end.
The above resolutions were accompanied by
Address to the southern Rights Associations Of
other Southern States, appealing to them to come
to the aid of South Carolina, and relieve her from
the necessity of seeding alone.
The resolutions and address were laid on the ia
Bile, ordered to be printed, and made the special or
der for next day. Mr. Che,es's letter was also Or
dered to be printed.
Mr. Gregg stated that the committee would report
upon the other matters referred to them, and eSpe
caly in reference to the more perfect organization
of the Southern Rights Associations, Tomorrow.
An adjournment then took place for the day.
WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY, May and s.
We have not received authentic reports OF the
proceedings of these two days. From the epitome
transmitted by Telegraph It appears that m'nori-
ty report was presented on Wednesday, by three
members of the Committee OF Twenty one, con-
sisting of Messrs Butler, Orr and Barnwell. The
proposition submitted by them as substitute Tor

ton, talso published above.) long debate ensu-
ed on these respective propositions, which result
in the adoption Jour despatch says by unanimous
vote) Of the resolutions and address OF the MAORI

The Convention then resolved itself into Gen.

South Carolina.


The Seces sionists have met, passed their reso-
buttons, adopted an Address to their Southern
brethren, and adjourned. Without particularly
specifying their wrongs, they accuse the north and
the Federal government, in general terms, Of hav-
ing designs to ssubvert the institution of savery
Most Of the address is occupied in making an apol-
ogy to the South for their having assumed the right
to secede without the cooperation Of their breth-
rem in the other Southern states. They claim that
it is the right of South Carolina to secede, and it
seems they are intent upon doing so, at some fu
ture time, whether other States follow their exam
pie or not.
In the mining country above us, when one Of the
leads give out and no more mineral can be found,
the miners say it has "Petered." We think this
self-constituted Secession Convention has done
likewise. 1t has "Petered," and we are glad Of it.
Glad for their sakes, and glad for the sake of
the country. Our readers will see by the resolu-
tons which the Convention adopted, that they do
not smell very sloudly," the Frenchman might
say, of ball cartridges. We feel no disposition to
hector them, and we hope no one viii, for they
have given the world illustration of the stability
OF our Union, which very much needed from
that quarter at the present time. Notification has
come to head, and the crisis has past, without
damage to the country.

II is hoped that the efficient aud well conducted
plans of the Government at Washington, have frus-
troted the piratcal plans Of the Cuban Invaders in
this country. This is as it should be. The jesl-
ousy which marks our conduct at the first discov-
cred attempt at foreign interference in subverting
our form Of government, should teach our people
and we believe it has done so to the masses
the inconsistency Of our Interference in the affairs
of other nations. We believe as the facilities of
intercourse are every year multiplying, they will
be instrumental in diffusing such amount Of in
telligence among the nations us to give them
clearer apprehension of the foundation and frame
work OF our government, and eventually lead them
voluntarily to adopt our system the best adapted
to secure the freedom of man, or SO much of it as
will insure to every man the rights ana privileges
TO which he is inalienably entitled.
There is no need Of raising free governments in
hot-beds. All such SO raised, must be short-lived
The seeds Of rcpublicanism will take deeper and
stronger root in the affections of the people Of all
natiocs, by carefully cultivatng them on their
original soil. Let every newspaper and every let
ter and every traveller crossing the ocean, bear the
products Of these Seeds true illustrations of the
prosperity, Intelligence and happiness Of our peo-
pie, growing out OF The legitimate influence and
blessings Of our Union, aud wherever may be found
a suitable soil some seeds of liberty, scattered
from such products, will spring up spontaneously
without any need Of artificial or unnatural means
to force their growth.
Many of the nations are no better qualified to
undertake selc-government than our southern
slaves. Intelligence must be diffused among them,
before they can appreciate the worth of such po-
si,ion. They must be taught the science of free
dom, before they are set free. Otherwise, they
will be ruled by a few demagogues, which may
prove to them the worst kind Of bondage. Would
that in our own country this science were more Of
a study. AS it is, few know more than Its mere
elementary principles. How much less, then, are
those capable Of self-government, who have not
yet begun to study the A C's thereof
