LETTER FROM MIR. pOINsETT.

rome Ed1t0rS U The Charleston Courier:
Misunderstanding read in your paper of the
29th of April last, the substance of a speech de-
livered on the 7th by the honorable r. b. Rhett, at
meeting, ofthe Southern Rights Association at
Charleston, and observed in your leader of the
date of that publication that you announce your
readiness to admit the freest discussion on the
exciting topics ofthe day, "provided the articles
are couched in the language of reason, not pas
son." | have looked anxiously for reply to this
speech, or some comment upon the assurances
and assumptionsit contains. But having been
disappointed in my expectations cannot permit
them to go forth as the deliberate opinions of the
sober thinking portion of the people of South Car
oina, without at least recording my dissent and
assigning my reasons for differing with the dis.
tinguished orator. give him due credit for his
manly and frank exposition of his own views
and opinions, as well as for his startling and nm
disguised revelations of the future conduct
and policy to be pursued by the independent
State of South Carolina He tells us that he has
been battling IN the cause for the last twenty-five
years, and that the hour is now come to carry
out the great measure ofsecession He says sat
every hazard and to the last extremity secede. -
Secede alone, for a Southern Congress now
wonld be our ruin; with Virginia, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Missouri and Tennessee (and he might
nave added all the other slave States) in such
a Congress what would be its counsel? Submits
sion, submission for themselves, submission for
us; and should we in disgust, retire from Con-
gress we ourselves have convoked, or cast their
under our feet, might we notexcite the
resentment and alienation of our sister Southern
States composing it,"

CONVENTION OF SOUTHERN RIGHTS AS

WEDNESDAY, May Z, 1851.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hancke the fol-
lowing report was presented by Mr.. Barnwell:
The undersigned, the minority ofthe Committee OF
twenty one, dissenting they constrained to do
from the report OF the majority OF The Committee as in
voving departure from the proper objects of this Con-
vention and premature ysmakng issues not allied for
by the present occasion, beg leave to recommend as
substitute tor said report, the resolutions submitted by
Delegate from Anderson, amended read as fol-
lows:
RESOLVED. That feeling entire confidence in the Con-
stitutiona organs OF our State Government and in the
wisdom and fidelity of the Convention elected under
the passed at the last session OF the Legislature we
are perfectly willing 10 leave to them the mode and
measure OF redress tor the wrongs we have suffered
from the Federal Government, well as the time of
its application; and without Indicating or suggesting
the course it behooves them 10 pursue, we hereby
pledge ourselves to abide by their decision. whether
the same shall be for secession from the Union, with
or without the cooperation OF the other Southern

The Basis Question in the Convention.

Yesterday morning, the Basis question assum-
ed still another phase in the Convention. Soon
after the body met Mr.. Martin, of Henry, who
had heretofore acted fully with the Eastern men,
beers, offered a motion for committee, composed
equally of members chosen from the East and the
West, to consider and report a fair adjustment
of the question OF representation. In the lon @
discussion which followed, frequent illusions were
made to what occurred on Saturday night between
the caucuses of the two parties 1t cannot be i'm
proper therefore to state the general fact that the
committees of conference appointed on either SIDE
after receiving and considering various PROPOSE
tons, were unable to agree upon any ; and the me-
gotiations were ended by a unanimous declaration
on the part of the Western members, after reject
members, that they would accept no settlement
which did not provide for the establishment of the
suffrage basis in some ten or fifteen years in both
Houses of the Legislature.
1t was under these circumstances that the Con-
vention assembled yesterday. Mr. Martins mo-
ton was sustained by the votes OF all the white
basis members, and sufficient number of East
ern votes to give it decided majority. There
were several divisions, and, in every instance the
friends of the white basis prevailed, save in the
single point of electing the members of the COM
mittee riua uoce. When the Convention came to
make the four selections from the East, such
Eastern members were chosen as were known to
be ready to go farthest in compromising. What
the end will be, we cannot yet say; but we must
presume that gentlemen, elected by the people to
sustain the mixed basis, will consider themselves
yet to some extent the representatives of that
principle, although they own their appointments
chiefly to the votes of its opponents. The eyes
of all Virginia will now be turned to Messrs.
MARTIN, WNGF1ELD, F1NNEY and Chiffon; and
we trust they may acquit themselves of their
important trust to the satisfaction of the people
and the honour of the State The West has
charged them with protecting the interests of the
East; let them not forget the del;cacy of the
task.
