Souri, CARoLsA-VIcToRY or THE Co
referring 10 The news In our
postscript, received 10 day by the magnetic
telegraph, we find that the a.ticipations which
we have all along expressed, respecting the
deliberate decision Of the eople OF South Ca
rolina, when the question OF secession should
be fairly brought before them, are fully realized.
Il appears that three-fourths of the delegates
from that State TO the Southern Congress,
belong 10 the co.operationist party-the party
which is for postponing the secession Of South
Carolina till the time when the Southern States
are repaired 10 leave the Union in n body
That may be a hundred years hence, perhaps:
but, at present. there is as little prospect Of IL as
there has been at any time for the last half
century. The people Of the State have decided
in favor Of remaining In the Union, for the
present, and we are satisfied that they will find
their situation as members Of the confederscy
SO comfortable, and so much better than any
thing they could expect in an attempt TO shake
themselves loose from the other States, that they
will soon settle down into as quiet and content
ed members Of the Union as any others.
or those Who take the name Of co-opera-
tionists, there are great numbers, as we have
the best reason 10 believe, who are not in favor
Of seeding from the Union in any event-that
is to say, who do not find the present relations
Of the North. and South 10 each other, any
reasons for desiring separation. They place
their present opposition TO the secessionists, on
the ground Of the impolicy Of taking so mo
mentous a step without the aid and sympathy
Of the other Southern States because on that
ground the largest party can be rallied.
And they have rallied powerful party, which
has uttered its voice most emphalically in the
elections. The language Of the vote polled IN
Charleston is remarkable. IL Is a proof that
the sober and quiet part Of the community, who
disapprove of the insane scheme Of secession,
are at length awakened 10 their duty. IL Is
these who speak the true voice and express the
true popular feeling Of the State.

were ANONYMOUSLY adopted, advocating the right
Of suffrage for females, deprecating the idea The

This was held TO be demorsl,zing. Among the

England, expressing her sympathy in the cause.
Her latest work, il will be recoIected, is quite
infidel IN character. Columns upon columns in
some Of the papers are occupied with the pro-
