The news from Charleston states that the South
Carolina State Rights Convention adjourned, after
the passage OF resolutions in favor of secession,
whether with the cooperation of other southern
States or not-but the Convention, at the time
leayes the matter entirely the hands of the state
Legislature as the sovereign power. The qaes-
sien which viii arise, after this, viii be as to the
ratification by the people Of the measures which
are recommended for the coming action Of
the Legislature Of South Carolina. 1t cannot be
concealed that the Union must prepare for a very
serious difficulty, on a question Of gave and mo-
Aentous Importance.
There is a rumor that Gonzales has been arrested

We have further report Of the Syracuse Adolf
tion Conventions proceedings. There appears to
be nothing new said, and the whole affair amounts
to than a series of silly, yet violent, deca-
nations-now against the Union, now against
Southern gentlemen, and then, last, not least,
against the Mac York Haali-the orators and
poets in the wordy crusade sharing in the applause
Of their insane admirers. Really, the Anti-Slavery
Convention have not even the merit Of novelty in
single thought Or expression.
