progress Of The much talked about suit. The re-
ports Of the South Carolina convention hardly ex
cite more attention than the proceedings Of thu
Garrifonian fanatics in Syracuse. II is very clear
that either the people nave an abiding faith in the
self-preserving elements Of the Union. or that tho
wise measures Of tho Administration in meeting
the exigencies Of the times have impaired conf
dencc and allAycd the fears which the disunionists
Of the North and the South at first occasioned.
A rather queer experiment in journalism has
been made here in the issue Of the fret number Of
newspaper. on the model Of the London Times,
far az looks go. called the Whi,e Mans Ne,0s-
paper. The names Of the editors arc not published,
but It il understood to be the offspring Of G.. G.
Foster Of the Day Book. and Charles Edward Les
ter, Of variety Of literary undertakings. These
gentlemen are both well known for their ultra
southern lesnings, and the title Of their paper,
which may sound rather oddly to those who do not
understand its meaning, IL meant to indicate
that they are entirely free from any faint Of abo
ltionism. Speaking Of newspapers, it is true that
Mr.. Raymond has ceased TO have any connex-
ion with the Courier and Enquirer, and that on
bis return from Europe. whittier he has gone, fo'
the ostensible purpose Of recruiting his health, he
will establish small daily paper ON the plan Of the
Tribune. Mr.. Raymond 10 now sufficiently well
known Scwatd Wing. but he was not al
ways in this way, for when the Albany Slate Re
gister was first projected, he was offered the cdito
rial chair. As Newspaper writer, Mr.. Raymond
has great fuency and facility, rather than great
power; and il the merit of writing were to be mea-
surcd by a yard-stick, he would be justly entitled
to the appelIation Of the greatest prose writer
have produced. He has an admirable talent at
filling up column, and can spread an idea. or
even the shadow Of one, over an inconceivable
space. He was admirable reporter, and
has grea. clevcrness in doing any kind of
newspaper work. As speaker he has entire
confidence in himself, and displays the same tai
ent Of volubility that distinguishes his leaders. But
imagine that. as the leader Of party, or as the
reliable sxpounder Of its doctrines, his ability
would not be conspicuous.
Mr.. George Ehninger. nephew OF John Jacob
Astor, who was appointed to q deputy collector
ship not long since by Mr.. Maxwell, died sud-
denly on Tuesday last the day of the death of Mr..
Hone. Mr.. Samuel b. Romano, an old citizen and
politician, who was once Speaker Of the Assembly,
has been appointed in his place. S. X. 8.

DEcLAaATIok IN FAvon OF SEcEssios.-We
publish this morning telegraphic report Of the
proceedings inythe South Carolina States Rights
Convention, in session 1t Charleston, from which
it will be that address and series Of resolu-
tions--full copies Of which will be found on our
frst page-have been unanimously adopted, do
caring in favor of secession At future time, whc-
Their other southern States Join with South Carolina
or not. They maintain that secession IL necessary
to tho State sovereignty, and appeal to the Legsla-
turo TO assert il.
Such proceeding ~ this must, if sustained,
bring tho State into direct conflict with the Genc-
raj Government, whenever that culture time" shall
arrive which is contemplated in this revolutionary
proceeding.
In the mean time, II will become indispensably
necessary that the Government of the United States
should assume position consonant with the con-
servatve spirit of the Constitution; and that every
true man, every lover of his country, every heart
capable of appreciating the value of those great
privileges enjoy, over and above all the nations
of tho earth, should cast the entire weight Of his
character and influence ON the side of the "Union,
a. il is" -7

complot the destruction Of the whole, the strong
Of must be stretched forth to secure the
erring one, for the common good. before it has
made the opportunity to put the mischievous pur-
pose in execution.
In defcrring the final purpose to the future, South
Carolina would borrow time for maturing her mea-
sures, and cultivate the cooperation of other
States. Whatever may be her wrongs, in enter
tanning q revolutionary mode of avenging them,
she wrongs herself, and would wrong the Union,
even IL she could maintain herself against the
bincd resistance of the rest. t
This resistance must be felt at once morally and
decisivcly, we hope never to be tested physically
But the purpose must be manifest at once, to re-
strain this crring State in her unhallowcd pur-
pose, and save her from the mad destruction to
which she would devote herself under the fearful
passions and wilful spirit which to rule with
all tho tyranny Of ruin.

Movement for the Presidencv.


Political combinations in various parts of the
country are seeking TO give prominence to the
claims Of General Scott 70 the Wing nomination
0s sns ae !, IRE mhs effort Seems to bs
regard this movement as inopportune and unpro
ptious to the true interests of the Wing party and
of the Republic at largo. There are higher inte-
rests at stake which demand the labers OF the Wing
party than the elevation of individuals. There is
time enough year hence to canvass the claims of
individuals. In the mean time the cause of the
Union and the Consultation needs all the succor
that patriots can bestow The mighty issues
which were involved in the fearful struggle
through which the country has passed., have been
happily adjusted, it is true but there are sad
tho hosts of fanatcism 10 venture n renewal
of this parrcidal strife. The popular mind
moods to be assured that the Republic 10 safe, be-
fore il engages itself with the subordinate ques-
ton Of the Presidency. The addition of this new
element of excitement IL therefore 10 be seri
ously deprecated There is necessity for the union
Of good mon of all parties for the sake Of the Union
There 10 need for the dissemination throughout the
land of sentiments of love to common country,
and for the growth Of that rising spirit of zeal in
behalf of her laws and Constitution which 10 ms nj
fcsting itself in the midst OF her troubles. Party
strife should not be introduced at this untimely
juncture, to ALLEVIATE the sympathies of people
whose hearts should beat in unison to tho impulse
of common patriotism. In illustration of this, we
note with qualification recent incident in the poll
tics Of Georgia. Her gallant son, the Hon. Alcxan
der H. Stephens, whose services in the cause Of the
Union have won q national reputation, has dc !.
clined the gubernatoriul nomination in favor of his
political opponent, the Hon. Howell Cobb; and as
signs reason that Union. loving men Of all par
ties should unite upon Howell Cobb. so as to
testify by their undecided support of him their
appreciation of the value of the Union which he has
defended. Such should be the conduct Of patriots
throughout the land, until this dire intestine strife
n ended. Ehiv4 HTFft 1861
In alusion to this effort of General SCOTS
friends, we do not design TO express any rcpug-
nance to his nomination In the event OF its ratiH.
cation by the Wing party. We confess, however.
that for many reasons he would not be our fret
choice His illustrious military services have OBJ
tanned their due need of national gratitude and
applause. We think the Presidency has been used
often enough ~ the reward of military achievs-
ments. In consonance with the genius Of our in
situations, that high honor should be reserved y,
the reward for civic virtues. And among her dis-
tinguished champions, the Wing party may with
out trouble, when the proper time arrives select
one whoec civic services have won him a national
fame and entitled him to nations highest trust
