The great question Of secession continues delibe-
rately predominant IL is the deliberatsn with
which the projees Is discussed, aud the GOODNESS with
which the consequence are cale uated that give the
scheme its tremendous Importance Ii all these
preparations and al this ndiguati were the mere
claptrap of Astounding politicians, We might re-
gard them, ou.sids " Souih Carolina, AZ mere mat
tiers Of gas and me- fit only for earicatures
OF General Quatueb bum, and Of salamanders luxu-
Rating in liquid ire.
But the case Is different. The bill for the
argemeNt of the Erie cana was not discussed more
O. practical measure in the New York Legisla-
ture. than is secession among all classes Of people
IN South Carolina. And the only point in dispute
lsthe question Ut tmo
We think il highly probable that the general
convention of the Southern rights associations OF
the State, to be held IN this city IN May, winot
commend to the regular state Convention, hereafter
TO meet, the policy vi immediate secession; but they
will probably suggest basis Of cooperate action
among the Southern States as the basis Of security
for the future reservi the ultimatum of separate
secession as the derDi.r resort.
But do not let MIR. Webster fiat ter himself or the
President with the idea that pOstponement Will
be submission, aud that seward 4 90. can be sui
tered 10 20 with tnetr destructive schemes III
secession IS 70 be postponed, II VIII be WITH the
view OF drawing the o,ner cotton states into the
movement; because the object With this state i not
Intimidation but it is get out of the Union, and
in such a way will give the least trouble and the
least expense TO all concerned
Nor is il absolutely certain that South Carolina
will even wait to form coalition upona new basis,
with the cotton States-popu!ar opinion appears TO
be almost unanimous FOR separate state actlon and
that policy Just likely, and perhaps likely,
than anything else.
Governor Means is engaged in tour Of in
spection of the military of the State-passng from
district to district, reviewing the volunteer COM
ranes, battalons, and reg mentS, enrolled for the
defence Of the flag Of the Palmetto against the
>'star spangled banner Of the | Iioa, should the
pending Issue come to collision.
About the middle OF May, there is to be in the
Interior 4 grand military encampment, and
have doubt it will he very interesting affair.
In the interval, We have no doubt we shall nave
had the honor of CONT butng something from this
quartey to dispe the incredulity of the North in
South Cardinals alienation from the Union.
The refusal Of the authorities C. Boston to allow
Mr. Webster the OF Faneuil llall, excites in
this latitude conside .abe degree of ridicue of
Postonian notions of the compromises. An astute
politician, however, observed 10 to day, that it
WAS swell for Mr. Webster he Was refused, or that
otherwise the abohtiouists might have retaliated
upon him the fattorIng reception and enthusiastic
APPLAUSE administered upon George Thompson.
We visited, yesterday morning, Methodist camp
meeting, some twenty mics of IN the country, and
last night attended the opera Of :" II Barbiere de

Berta, Mrs. Garrett; l4ofello, ~iguor parozzi
Officer, MIR. Hensler. Between the second aud
third acts q fancy dance by Mile Fitzjames and
SigEor Carrese. There was q full and fashionable
house. The dressing not quite up TO the
standard Of the Aston Place on special occasions
but the dress circle exhibited a consolation Of
beautiful faces Of which any city mght well be proud
The piece went off very successfully; indeed,
Signora Nietti achieved victory in which her good
singing was powerfully supported by her splendid
aims and shoulders, thrown into dazzling relief by
tight fitting bodice Of black velvet, low in the
neck, low in the back, aud ornamented with n very
red in 'front.' with skirt Of barege, of pink and
slate color. TrIts and Benedict were among the
spectators. SarquT.c and Ecncycntano we're al
received with more shan ordinary enthusiasm;
and the whole npauy did the thing handsomely,
saving the orchestral deficiencies. OF which. how
ever notice seemed TO be taken. The dance by
MAIDEN oisclle Fi,zjames was opposed in the demand
for repetition portion Of the audience no doubt
supposng there cal for the exhibition again
