of the wild beasts of the forest, by d
death struggle. am aware that this has
been the almost invariable practice of
mankind in every age and country; but
never till now do recollect seeing it as.
serted that it was the only justifable mode
of settling controversies among States
and nations; and it is with no little regret

whose opinions are of such high authority
among large portion of the American
people. / have dwelt more emphatically
on this topic, because consider the right
of secession as by far the most important
of all the questions involved in the present
controversy; and the attack on it as one
of the most insidious, as well as. danger.

the States, all Of whom are deeply yinter.

now the aggressors, may one. day be-
placed in position wherefit will be their
only refuge from the uncontrolled despo.
tism of q majority.
With regard TO the expediency of the,
State of South Carolina exercising this
right of secession, either now or at any
future period, it would, l conceive, be
presumptuous in one so far removed from
the scene of action to offer his opinion,
or intrude his advice. In such a'crisis,
South Carolina must act for herself, and
rely on herself alone. | would only OBJ:
serve, thatin taking q step SO decisive as
that of Withdrawing from the Union,
unanimity among her citizens, or some
thing nearly approaching it, seems indis-i
pensable. Itappears, however, thatmany
distinguished men among you, whose
reputation is national, whose opinions are
entitled to great weight, and lwhoshaye
heretofore taken the lead in opposing the
Compromise, believe that the tifae gsfors

Again: the writer says, the Rice shipped

Nowto the proof. For the want Of reliable
statistics since l84o. the writer's statement
as to the cotton viii be received. But he
certainly undertakes the average price. BY
reference to the Report Of the Secretary of
the Treasury for 1850, page 1913, it will be
seen that the average price of cotton for the
year $50 was 1l.s as stated by Rutledge;"
that for the last twenty years it has been

its second resolution-declaring its belief
that the cooperation of any of the South
ern States with South Carolina, either in
resistance or secession, is at least impro-
bable, so long as the influence and patron
age of the General Government are ar
rayed against State rights. Nor do see
any reason for believing that any probable
change of administration will produce a
change of measures; since, as you will
perceive, from their repeated declarations,
all parties in the North unite in denouncing
slavery, and maintaining the Constitution.
al right of Congress, as well as its infexi-
BILE duty, to prohibit its extension to any
State that may hereafter be admitted into
the Union. From all present appear
ances, the principles embodied in the
Compromise will continue to be the basis
of the future policy of the Government.
1t seems also probable, that the State
which have submitted to past, will be
equally quiescent under future wrongs.
Having thus briefly stated my views
with regard to your first and second, /
will now revert to your last and most i'm
portant resolution, namely: that failing
in a reasonable time to obtain the CO.
operation of other Southern States, South
Carolina should alone withdraw from the
Union"
1t seems rather late in. the day, to be
called OH to combat the old exploded doc
trine of passive obedience and non.resis-
tance, the assertion of which cost one
monarch his head, and sent another into
perpetual exile. Yet, as that doctrine has
lately been revived by some of the high.
est names of the Republic, it calls for a
passing notice in connexion with the SUBJ
ject of this letter. 1t seems strange too,
that this long buried monster, (which re-

as an answer the pamphlet. The author
of Rutledge," to whose attention these ar
,ticles have been recently brought, thinks
squite otherwise, and did not design aaTeply
,Abrief. .rejoinder;:is now made only to show,
that so far from. having oyerthrown the main
proposaions of aRutseage,n the writer, by
the weakness of his attack, and by his own
admissions, has practically strengthed them.
If aRutledge" has, advanced, the most
astartlins statements" in relation to the fiscal
resources Of the State,. arising from. her i'm
ports in case of separate secessio9f s@ay be
.;sssafely said;s ;sshat the resi ahpkiet
has himself is fsihto if soihe of ahe most
absurd conclusions. Such. among others,
are the following: First, that the contribu-
ton of South Carolina in duties under the
!, existing Tariff, docs not exceed $5oo,Ooo an-
; Snually. Secondly, that under the peaceful
operationsof separate State Government,
SSaeO,ooo will be cut off from our exports,
- and consequently from our imports, and
hence there would remain but $a,O00,00O
from which to raise revenue. But Of these
hereafter.
The first point assailcd by the writer is in
relation to the exports of the State. Upon
naked assumption, without any appeal to
documentary evidence, he controverts the
facts and figures under this head, contained
in the Pamphlet; estimating the annual value
of the exports from the State, at $ll ,o50,
900. aRutledge," from statistical tables
furnished by public documents, states then
to be from $l2,O00,0O0 to Sl400O,000. HI
did not strike an average for two reasons
mainly: First, because the data upon whicl
to base accurate calculations were not with
in his reach. Secondly, because it was no
necessary to the argument-an approXima
ton to the true results being sufficient to es
tablish the positions aimed at. Can reliance
be placed upon the statements of the write
in the News! He does not furnish particle
of evidence. In controversial dispute o
this nature, could he expect his mere dicta t.
be taken as authority! Are his statement
any thing more than gratuitous assumptions
He proceeds in this way, although he seem
to regard scrupulous accuracy in the matte
essential 10 the argument!
Now his admission of $l1 ,050,00O of Stat
exports will fully sustain the hypothesis
Rutledge" in regard TO our revenue undt
separate Government; but since rigid c.
sstness is to him so important, let US inquil
little more closely into the probable annu'
value of our exports.

This statement receives confirmation from
a table of our foreign commerce published
in the Charleston Mercury, Jan. IA, 1851
It will be there seen, that the value of s6,-
oS5,523 lbs of Cotton, shipped during the
year 1850, was sll,oSs,3o5. BY the same
rates, s7,75o,ooo lbs. would be worth SILL
2l7,3o4. From the value exhibited by tbe
same table 1000 ticreestof Rice would
yield S2,95o,317.
This result, then, may be obtained:
1850. Cotton $ll,2l7,3o4
Rice 2,e5o,sl7
Other articles l,7lo'ooo
Total $l5,s77,e2g
Though this 'sumamay seem equal to the
whole amount of exports som the State, yet
.for-the year 1850 it may ihfotasosf farMtong;
' 'fSf by the Charleston Mercury Of Saae. dStp'
last given, the foreign exports from Charles
ton in 1850 amounted to $l2,ss4, s4,4s7-being
an increase Of nearly million and haS OF
dollars upon the foreign expOrtsins18f9.
Assuming the coastwise exports to,reraain
the same as 1s4s, viz. $5,494,52o, the ex-
ports from Charleston for the year $780,
were not less than sl7,sss,o17. The year
previous they were Sl5,s3s,l9.
Take the year l84s.
Cotton, e7,759,O0O lbs. Go cents, including

This is evidently an under estimate for
ls4o; for the cotton crop of that year was
uncommonly large, being l,o26,6o2,269 lbs
Allow onc-tenth Of the whole for South Caro-,
lna viz: oa,O6G,O26 pounds, and the. .ex,
ports of the State for that year must have
equallcd $l2,o2l,s75.
This latter estimate is confirmed by anoth,
or mode of calculation. The total value Of
exports, foreign and coastwise, from Charles
ton for the year lS49, was $l5,S3s,29l
[pat. Off Rep. ls49-5o, at p. 536.] What
proportion of this amount arose from pro-
ducts of other States? Nothing Of consc
ouencc is exported from products OF ouI
ncighboring States, except cotton and nav"
stores. Much the largest portion OF thl;
cotton is conveyed over the Railroad from
Hamburg to Charleston. The Charleston
} Courier (See Pat Off, Rep. page 537) states
r that l4l,l39 bales of cotton passed over th'
South Carolina Railroad in 1Sl9 from Ham

Such being my view of the subject,

that the stand originally taken by Soutl
Carolina, and most of the Southern States
in opposition to the principles embodied
in that series of measures, was. not only
justifable, but demanded by aproper re

that an abandonment of the position they
then. assumed, and an acquiescenco ii
measures they repeatedly declared they
would resist, @at all hazards and to thu
last extremity" unless accompanied by {
frank acknowledgement Of having beer
wrong in the first instance, would, in th'
language Of the printed resolutions ap
pended to your letter, be "what they
could not submit to without dishonor.
If such an abandonment Of all previous
pledges and declarations were the resul
of subsequent conviction of having
greatly erred in making them, it would bt
honorable and magnanimous. But sucf
appears not to be the case; since ever

Mr. PauIdins's Letter.

The letter of. the Hon. James X. Paul
ding, in answer to an invitation from tht
Correspondent Committee of the South
ern Rights Association, to address tn,
Public Meeting be held on the 18th inst.
is of so remarkable character, that thu
Committee have felt it due to the Associ
alton, and to the people of the whole State
to deviate from the usual rule, and publish
Fit in advance of the occasion. The au
thor has long been sequestered from the
turmoil of public life, and has thus the
position of an unprejudiced spectator
while his abundant experience, during q
long career of distinguished service, makes
him a,most competent judge. His emf.
nent ability, his consistency of opinion,
and his unsullied and unsuspected integri.
ty, unite$in giving the utmost weight to
his views of public affairs at this time.
Mr.. Paulding has never yielded a step
before the tide of fanaticism, or compro-
missed principle for the momentary sue
cess Of party. From the commencement
of this sectional controversy, he has stead
fastly and earnestly urged upon the North
to do justice, and upon the South to SUBJ
NIT to no sacrifice of. their full and perfect
equality in the Union. He has not hesi-
tated to maintain that it was better for the
North, as well as the South, that the Con-
federacy should be dissolved, than that its
fundamental principles should be changed,
and its constitution subverted. The North
has refused to listen to his wise counsels;
it remains to be seen If the South will be
still more fatally and perversely deaf
We trust that the press of hisaState,
and the Southern ights press every
where, will aid in giving circulation to
this admirable letter, from one of the most
distinguished and most upright of the
public men of the Union. In this charac-
ter alone, Mr.. Paulding has right to have
his deliberately expressed opinions on a
great public question, made known to the
whole people of the Union. As citizen
of the North, who, in position that is be-
yond all suspicion of sel6shness or preiu.
dice, gives to the cause Of the South the
great weight of his calm approvaland sup
port, he has peculiar claims to our atteu-
ton, and his words deserve to be treasured.
