FOR UNANIMITY,S SAKE,

WE are willing to do any thing, that does
not amount to an abandonment of principle
If we know our heart, we have no feeling of
enmity to single brother -Carolinian. Nor
would we, at this particular time, be under
stood as being desirous of carping at every
little error on the part of those who are ours
by all the strong and holy ties of social and
civil brotherhood. We therefore, (at the
mere hint of one, who thinks that we were
unkind towards our gallant fellow citizen,
Col. I. w. HAYNE, in notice recently made
in our paper of his reply to the Patriot of
Grecnville,) publish now portion of that ar
ticle, in order that all may Judge for them
selves of its real tone, which it is thought we
have mis-rcprcsented.
We have ever entertained the belief, that
there will be ultimately no considerable divi-
sion among us. And keeping this faith fully
in view, we desire to conduct ourselves, even
towards those 1cho condemn our rieUs, in Il
manner that will not interfere with our stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with them, when, in
the closing scene of the drama now progress
sing, the sons of Carolina, shall flock from
every quarter 10 vindicate with all the means
that God has given them, the unsullied fame
Of their idolizcd mother.
The italics, in the extract given from Col.
llAYNE's letter, hnve been suggested, as point
ing TO tho strongest passages of that letter.
We never intended to convey the impression
that Col. HAYNE had said that we were to
submit to the wrongs of the past" &C., but
VIC designed to imply that the temporising
policy which ace thought we saw indicated in
our friends communication, would in our
opinion, lead TO that result.
Our complimentary illusions to Colonel
HAYHE were not intended merely as a set off
to our criticism-lhey were the promptings
of the heart. He is a gentleman we have
always adnired-we know him to be made
of stern stufT-we believe he is one of the
truest spirits of the South-wc had hoped
and expected to find in him an unhesitnting
advocate of that noble line of policy which

w THERE are passages in the article of
Secession" to which we object; but we did
not of course, feel authorized to alter the
manuscript. They are those passages which
allude, as we think, too severely, to certain
classes of our community.

gate to the Convention. l can but regret,
that any provision was made for calling a
State Convention until after the Southern
Congress had met, or failed to meet. We
would thus have avoided much of the division
in the State-ad division which has weakened
the cause of the South throughout the South.
Our people have actually become bewiIdercd,
by the jumJling up of Nashville Conventions,
the Southern Congess, and State Convention,
the meeting of which latter is so remote, and
depends upon so many contingencies, that
many suppose it never will meet, and some
that it has met and adjourned. It strikes me,
that Convention should be called imnedi..
ately upon the passage of the Act which is to
be rcmedied by Convention, that it should be
restricted to the specific object, that the. elec.
tion of,:Delegates should soon follow, and
that it should convene while the cause of its
meeting is fresh in the minds of the people.
Then will it be effective. What have said
of the Convention refers solely to the policy
and expediency of its call at the time. The
act has been done, and cannot and ought not
now to be undone, and the State must be sus.
tanned. would not ahave her shrink from

I would that we had State Rights Associa-
tions in every District, and Committees of
Safety and Volunteer Companies, fully equip

to God, that every man in the South was as
ready and willing as am. to strike, not for
equality in the Union, but ont Of it for scpa-
