South Carolina, is that the people have been
gullcl and hoodwinked by dcmagogucs and yam
kecs-the first By raising the State cry of Union,
Union, and the latter more secretly but not the
less surely, are undermining Southern lndePen-
dcncc by annually draining the South of her
money and joining in the same scnsclcss cry of
"save, oh! save this (glorious) Cnion." But
let the issue be once made, and believe the sis
ter States will JOIN init. That issue has 10 be
made, and some one State has TO do it alone"
The lead has to be Played and no State is so well
prepared to take that high position as South Caro-
lina Then let her act-lct action be her watch
word, until she is once more free from an unjust
and partial Government She has nothing to
loose but all to gain by secession" Her only
loss perhaps will be of some of her citizens: if
so, she will have no cause of sorrow, but rather
of joy Those, if any there be, will be of small
loss to her, and smaller gain wherever they may
60, and their places would speedily be filed BY
many of Cardinals SONS, who are now without
her borders, but whose hearts are always with
our own, our native land.

cur: TO tllatwc have seen in the Southern Stand

affair. Our informant was an eyewitness and is
besides 4 close observer.
"rhe speaking was opcncd!by Chan. JOHNSTON,
who addressed the meeting for nearly TWO hours
in 4 very good but rather dry speech. Mr.. DRAl-
TON NANCE followed and was also up considesa-
bic time. His speech was an excellent one and
elected applause at several strong passages Judge
BUTLER then arose, but had not progressed more
than half hour, WHEN the cars arrived and the
company broke up. The Judge concluded with
decided declaration Of his resolve 10 stand or fall
with South Carolina, which sentiment was also
greeted with applause. My conviction was thai,
on the occasion under consideration, the Seccs-
.iunsts were in AN OVERWHELMING MAJoRITY---
At LEAST THREE TO ONE Mach regret was cx-
pressed on every side that Mr.. GARLISGToN did
not srcak. lie seemed 10 be the iavori.c Of the

Kings daughter, had unfortunately been trans
fcrrcd, for the benefit of a nurse, to its cunning
Hebrew parent. Nourishcd from the pap Of its
real mothers breast, it has waXcd strong and
rebellious " and has refused tv be called the son
of Pharaol.'s daughter" TTc is now invoking
plaques, and scourgcs. and the denunciaton of
the wrath Of the Most High, upon this devoted
land.
But to proceed with my narrative :-during
the administration of Mr. Polk, the Wilmot
Proviso, or the leading principle of the ordinance
Of 'S7, was inserted in the Bill for the territorial
government Of Oregon and it was boldly set
fourth as the settled policy of the majority of
Congress, to exclude slavery forever, from any
of the present or future, territories of the Gov
crnmcnt-in despite of the rcmonstranccs Of
the South, in despite of the constitution of the
country, and in despite of every principle Of
honor and justice recognized among men.
In the time of the same Administration, it be-
came Il matter of the highest moment, TO organ
izc a Government for California, which had been
acquired b. the Mexican war, and whose cx-
haustcss mines Of gold had attracted thithcr m
immense immigration from all parts of the world.
But the Incorporate zeal Of the abolitionists ut
tcrly refused any Bill, without clause for the
inhibition of slavery. To avoid the pcrious is
Sues presented, and to prevent or, at least, to
postpone the dissolution of the Onion. the pro-
jcct was deferred, and the TAYLOR administra-
ton resortcd to the eXpcdicnt o. procuring the
Caiitornans to frame Constitution inhibiting
slavery, AMI Of introducing her into the Union
freed from the stigma of negro scrvitule, and
clad IN the white garments Of intolerance and
vulgar finaticism: and thus, Of virtually enlOr-
cling the principles Of the Wilmot Proviso.
