RESOLUTIONS.
ResolDed, lst That we regard the separate
State action doctrine of portion Of our eiti.
zeus, as unwise and impracticable, under the
present attitude of public opinion in the South.
Res0lred, I'd, That in the language of the
wise and lamented CALHOUN, Concert Of action
is The one thing needful" to sustain the South
and her institutions, against the inroads of North
ern fanaticism and misrule.
Resolred, Sd, That the convention elected in
February last, ought not to secede, unless as
snred OF the cooperation of one or more of the
slave States
RESOLVED, 4th, That, however inexpedient we
may regard separate State action at this time, we
pledge ourselves, should the people, after fun
discussion, declare by decided majority for i'm.
mediate secession, to abide by their recon.
mendations.
RESOLVED, 5th, That in the Hon. Angus Pat.
terson, of B.rnwell, and Col A. J. Lawton, of
st Peters, We have the fullest confidence ard
reliance, and recommend them to the hearty
support OF the cooperation party Of the 18th
Congressional district at the approaching cleo
ton for delegates TO the Southern Congress.
The reading of the report and resolutions
was followed by appropriate and spirited re-
marks from Col. Lawton, Mr.. Drayton, and DR..

WHAT HAS South CAROLINA DECIDED ?-The
elections in South Carolina to the Southern
Congress was the test Of strength between the
secessionists and co-operatonsts. The latter
have evidently carried the State. It becomes
interesting, therefore, to know what opinions
have triumphed. What does this election show
to be the dominant sentiment in South Carolina?
II Is not victory of Unionism over dsunionism.
The triumph OF the co operatonsts proves no
love Tor the Union on the part of the people Of
South Carolina, though there are doubtless thou
sands of citizens of that State. all of whom
voted, OF course, for the cooperation ticket.
who are Unionists-attached to the Union pe,-
Sc, and desires it's preservation
South Carolina has simply pronounced the
opinion that it would be impolitc in her to sepa.
rate herself, at this time, from her sister States
OF the South, who have common cause and q
common destiny, and to secede alone from the
Union. Southern confederacyis the hope and
the aim OF the co opertionists as il is of the Sc
cesslo'ists. But the former believe that separate
secession would inevitably defeat that object.
while the latter believe it the only mode of nc
comprising it. The co-operationists would
wait patiently to see If abolition aggression will
not advance upon the South to point of non
endurance, and make secession and Southern
confederacy the almost unanimous voice of the
Southern States,
That the spirit Of abolition is determined, un-
firing and progressive, and is moving steadily on
TO its final purpose, is very palpable and the late
elections in Alabama, Mississippi and Georcia.
are not calculated to check its advance. But
whether this aggressive spirit will produce the
effect the co.operationsts Of South Carolina
hope for or whether Mr.. Stewards assertion that
the Union is stronger than slavery, be true, is
mooted point yet 10 be settled Constitutional

Gentlemen,-l must beg you to excuse my

entirely concur in its purport, &C., as think it
altogether proper, that in the somewhat new
aspect which the question before the people has
assumed, some distinct expression of their
opinion should be had Some months since, it
might have been supposed that the secession of
South Carolina would only have made her the
precursor in general movement of the slave
holding States. 1t is now obvious that her
secession separates her from them, and leaves
her alone to encounter the hazards Of the asser.
ton and maintenance Of separate nationality.
Upon this subject, have nothing new to offer,
Lor have i seen any reason to change the
opinion heretofore expressed by me. In
struggle to maintain and make seclre the in
stituton of domestic slavery (for this lies at the
foundation OF the great sectional contest in
which we are engaged.) it seems to me alto
gether -unwise to attempt to sever our destiny
from that of those identified with us in interest
and safety, and united to US by relations the
closest aud strictest which ever yet have given
unity to nation
The idea of forcing the other slavehoding
States into confederacy with US, seems to me
very extravaganza, and a secession undertaken
with this design, cannot but regard as equally
repugnant to sound principles, in morals and
politics. For myself, must acknowledge that
should entirely despair of the slaveholdng
States ever forming confederation, if thought
that upon subject, on the just appreciation Of
which their prosperity and even existence were
in common dependent, neither reason nor ex-
perience could produce among them concur.

charges against Collector Lewis of Philadel-

phia Di.misssd-The Cuban Expedition.
Correspondence Of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON Thursday, April II.
The charges which loOmed up so tormldaoly
against the Collector of the Port at Philadelphia,
Mr.. LEWIS have been disposed OF. Both the
President and Secretary have examined them in
fall, and they find nothing which duplicates the
Collector in any degree. 1t will be remembered
ahat very violent opposition was made against
Mr.. LEWIS when his name came before the Sen
ate for confirmation. Various and apparently
very formidable charges were brought agalnst
him by that portion of the Wing party ia his
State which did not cordially support the Admin
htration Of Gen. TAYLOR. Those charges were
even presented in the Senate by Wing Senator
Of Pennsy wanna but they Enthusiastically failed
Recently an employee of the Philadelphia
Custom Office was for some cause, elected from
Office by Mr. LEWIS. He turned upon the Col
leetoF with q list of most formidable charges
which were presented 10 the public Ahd The Gov
eminent in printed pamphlet form. The Collector
was informed that these charges must DO cleared
sp, and committee was appointed to SIT IN Phll-
aaelphia and take evidence. Counsel was EN-.
p!oyed against Mr.. LEWIS by his opponents, and
q voluminous mass Of evidence, and speech Of
great bitterness, displaying some ability, was the
result. Upon this matter the President aud the
Secretary of the Treasury, after a month of con
sideralion, have passed judgment fuzzy eXoner
ntiDg Mr.. LEWIS from the charges.
Beside the information received by the Govern
nent, and that contained in private letters which
are now public, with reference 10 the projecting
Cuban Expedition the Spanish Minister has re-
eeved very definite and very positive Information
Of the existence Of 6n extensive band of armed
nsrauders now lowering On the Cuff coast and
preparing for embsrkation whenever the opPor-
tune moment shall arrive The tone Of some
Southern papers with reference to this expedition
Games of the Texan operation aud the Mexican
war. These midnight robbers and pirates who
are making descent upon friendly power are
called Patriots n &c. 1t is to be hoped the ca.
bans will teach them lesson in patriotism they
will mot soon forget. WoUTER Won TwILLER.

Their opponents think that there would be an In

their own votes are such wonderful propag andls.s
that they would soon 90 away with the Roman

therefore oppose the movement. They, however,
cry out for Reciprocity and II this, believe,
nearly all unite. There is another class, more

Coon FRlDAY.-Yesterday was the solemn
ChurchAnniversary,k known IS Good Friday,thecel-
ebration Of hch, however, except by two or three
sects has fallen into disuse in this country Good
Friday is celebrated in Catholic countries with
peculiarly solemn and imposing ceremonies In
Rome, last night, the Mtserere was sung IN the
Sistne Chapel, and the awful drama OF the Cru
cifxion enacted, with all the Impressive ad-
iuncts which the fOnctonsries Of the Church are
accustomed to employ. In England, our most
vivid recollection of Good Friday is the quantity
Of hot cross buns, with which the streets and
pastry shops abOunded. The day was ity COM
memorated in the Episcopal and Catholic Churches
Of this City. The buns were not wholly wanting,
for we saw that Taylor supplied himself to
me at the demand
