The report of the Committee was adopted

Quoted to the chair, addressed the Conven-
tion at some length, and with great power
and eloquence, in reference to the causes and
the objects of its asscmblagc.
The Committee also reported rules for
the government of the Convention, the con-
sideration of which was postponed until TO-
morrow.
On motion by Mr.. H. pERoyyEAU FINLEY,
it WAS resolved that the daily sessions Of the
Convention should be opened with prayer,
and the Committee of Arrangements be re-
quested to secure the services of clergymen
Of different denominations for that purpose.
The Rev. Dr.. SoMERs, being present, was
called on and delivered fervid and impress
siyc prayer
Hon. JoHy E. CAREw having stated that
the Southern Rights Association of Burke
county, Ga, had appointed a delegation to
visit the Convention, it was, on his motion,
unanimously resolved that a committee be
appointed to wait upon the delegation from
Georgia, and invite them to seats upon the
floor of the Convention.

tlemen as the committee, viz: Hon. JOHN Z.
CAREw, Hon. JAMES SIMoSs, JAS. Rose, Esq.

The Convention then adjourned until 10
o'clock to-day.
There is great excitement here, and high
determination An address to the Southern
Rights Association in other States will be
issued, and resolutions adopted, clearlycx-
pressing the feelings and principles by which
we are to be now and hereafter influenced
There will be counter resolutions; but it is
thought our opponents will take no definite
ground. They will be, l think, in an infni-
tcsimally small minority, as far as this Con-
vention is concerned. am pleased to find a
stronger party with us in the city than ex-
pected. Many are of the opinion that she will
vet be carried. Northern merchants, who are
making fortunes here to carry to the cities of
the North, are exceedingly alarmed. They
have shrunk almost within themselves upon
witnessing the extraordinary energy and spir-
it of the body here assembled. Our own pco-
pie here are gaining strength, and many loathc
the connection with that Northern faction to
which have alluded. And am inclined to
hope that we have, even here, the elements
Of success.

of respectable attainments, who are really sly
satisfied with ourpresent Confederacy, afd
are conversant withsits benefits. But there
is party of some consequence in S. Carroll
ma, who though they are unfriendly to the
Union of these States, and counsel resistance
to the tyranical acts Of the General Govern
ment, by the united efforts of the South are
nevertheless opposed TO the separate res's-
tance of South Carolina, in any event,-even
in the event of the worst degree of opprcs-
sion. These gentlemen, ut present, meeKly
advise moderation, delay,and cooperation
when they mean that South Carolina shall
never act alone. tits the policy they adopted
from the beginning, in order TO glin partlsans.
They dare not state their position clearly and
boldly, for they are too well disciplined set
of politicians not to know, that if the people
of S. Carolina were convinced that their ul-
innate aim was to lullsthe State into quiet
submission, they would not command cor
poral's guard to do them reverence. we
make no statements from guess, we have
some acquaintance with the movement OF our
people. tbs as true as Holy writ, that many
of the friends of moderation intend never to
bring up their State to the highest point OF
resistance They truly. believe that such a
course would be attendedwith utter failure
and ruin, and "that it is better to bear the ills
we have than fly to those we know not OF"
Time will develope the proof.
Now we maintain, that there is nothing but
moderation in South Carolina. There has
not yet been one precipitatc net committed
nor ono step taken which we could not Justl-
fy as consistent with the emergency, and our
sense of honor and duty. We have had an
exhibition of rather too much GOODNESS and
prudence. It is just as clear as that the sun
shines, that we shall have no assistance from
our sisters, until the first: blow be struck, and
still all parties are willing to wait for co,
operation which, in our hearts, we know to
be impossible of attainment.
If men would call measures and things by
their right names, and take their positions
fearless of consequences, we should at least
be able to determine in our minds, whether
we shall acquiescei in slavery, or take honora
BILE action for the vindication of our freedom

cooperation of other Southern States. In
the course of events our district may lower
her standard and belle her character, but she
has the reputation of looking pretty steadi-
ly yupon the flash of gunpowder and the blaze
Of cas- 81 eel.
Pardon us for speaking a little proudly.
We have no fears of our people when the
emergency arrives. They are in advance of
their leaders, if possible, and in the pursuit
of the right-they are prepared to enter the
breach along with the first.

Later from California and the Sandwich
ISfnpdx.

Fly the arrival Of the steamer FL Dorado at this
port, yesterday, from Chagres, we have files Of
California papers which give US dates fifteen days
later than those heretofore received.
The commercial accounts from California are
highly encouraging. Rain, which had long been
desired, had fallen, and proved advantageous to
mining operations and the steamer Panama is re-
ported to have brought down from San Francisco
gold dust to the amoant OF million Of dollars.
The social political and fnan ,ial condition os Cali
fornia appears to be in about the same state as by
previous advces, and our columns contain extracts
from the California journals the principal items
Of intelligence on these and kindred subjects.
The most important news by the arrival, how
ever, to which have to direct attention, is the
position in which the government Of the Sandwich
Islands has been placed By the threats Of the French
government. through its agents, and the disposition
Of the Hawaiian population to place themselves
under the American flag, We cannot view this
subject with indifference. The sandwich Islands
nre important to the United States, and would form
that ground in the grea. Pa-ifc, which 1t will be
necessar Nor the United States to occupy at an
carly day, as kind Of halfway house between Ca
liforna and India ard China. We trust our 20
yernment viii not neglect this momentous subject.
We give q very full account Of all that per aims
20 the history Of the French disposition to blockade
the principal port, and we commend the whole to
tho careful perusal Of our nelligcnt readers, who
lead to very serious consequences, aud possibly
war with France. We shall have more to say on
this subject tomorrow.
