~ The New York Tribune thus exults in the
formation of an Abolition party in Kentucky
with the probability Of defeat of the Whio
party-not that it loves Wing principles less
but Abolition more.
In Kentucky State officers, as well as mem.
bers Of Congress, are to be chosen on the 4th
Hon. Archibald Dixon, the Whip condidate
will have very close pull for governor and the
probability Is that we will lose il. .Cassius NJ.
Clay Is running Independently for this Office, on
the ground of emancipation, and is severely
blamed for 30 doing in certain quarters. Il /.
thought that as the State recently decided against
emancipation, the question should be allowed 70
sleep for the present, but we do not see the
force Of that argument Undoubtedly no Other
measure would do 80 much for the prosperity Of
the State, and that il has now been rejected, il
but an additional reason for its instant and per
manent agitation. IL is well that the emancipa
tionists should organize and display their force:
in the way in which they may be most effective
IL is true, however, that their movement will
have an unfavorabe effect on the Wing ticket
gubernatorial and congressional, and especially
on the forrer. Mr.. Dixon is one Of the mos
bitter opponets of emancipation in the State
and in the recent constitutional convention pro
posed to make the publication Of an emancipa
ton paper pententiary offence The enamel
pationlsts are naturally not in love with hin
after this, and as they are found more among tn,
Wings than the Locos, he will poll far less thar
the former strength Of his party, without gain
ing anything from the other side. And il, n
onr most recent information leads us 10 suppose
Cassius M. Clay receives 1000 to 5000 votes
Il is highly probable that Powell the opposition
candidate, will be elected by plurality. This W
should deeply regret for many reasons, but still
we are somewhat used 10 seeing the Wing part
suffer from the progress Of new ideas and nev
measures. In ls49, Crittenden beat Powell b
$500 majority.

Major Edward Manigult from the central exe-
cutive committee then offered the following
resolutions, and prefacsd them with few re-
marks, forcbly sustaining the principles they adj
vance
i. Resolped, That in the opinions Of this as
sociation, South Carolina has taken her stand
against the misnaned compromise measures, to
which, consistently with her honor, she can
never submit.
O. Rssolued, That the cooperation Of the
Southern States upon past issues, although
much desired, by all the people Of South Caro-
lima, appears to this association at present TO be
at least improbable
8 Rosolved, That in the opinion Of this as
socation the State Of South Carolina cannot,
without dishonor and imminent danger TO the
rights and lbesties Of her people. wait for any
new issue to be presented, and falling Ia rem
sonable time to obtain the co-operation Of the
other Southern States, should withdraw, alone,
from the Union.
The Hon. r. Barnwell Rhett then rose to
support the resolutions, and was received with
enthusiastic and long continued applause Mr..
Rhett engaged the earnest attention Of the
meeting about an hour, In delivering one Of the
ablest speeches and compIetest arguments which
has ever been pronounced upon the subject Of
Southern wrongs and remedies his appeal to
the consistency and determination Of the citi-
zens of this State under existing circumstances
will long be remembered by those who heard
him. *A A%

in the parishes (and you have no doubt, OBJ.
served, that nearly all the exhibition Of public
opinion in favor Of seperate State action, has
come from one congress- sional district in the
parishes) evince spirit of prescription and in
tolerance, against the coroperationists, which
| furnishes a beautiful commentary on the pro-
fessions of the actionists, that they desire har-
mony may be preserved in the State. i have
no doubt that they will give us the harmony
which the wolf gives to the lamb.
If the State is to be put upon the perils ol
separate secession, and your beautiful city Is to
share the fate of Moscow, in Gods name let il
not be done by minority of the people. II
the immediate actionists have by accident Sc
cured majority of the convention, and are re-
solved in pushing their advantage TO the utter
most limit, we have no recourse left, but TO in
struct the delegates elect through public meet
ing of the people. 1 had hoped that the con-
vention would be left untrammelled, to act with
wisdom according to circumstances when it as
sembled
The late proceedings of the actionists, wher.
ever they have the strength to move, has dis
PEELED that illusion, and if the schemes of the
leaders cannot be frustrated, then secession is q
fixed fact The people, however, in my judg-
ment, are not with them, and whenever the is
sue ~ uaue, tne SelI-appolhLeu ieaueIs VIII Oe
rooted--overwhelm by the voice Of the peo-
pie rebuking their temerity. In such an issue,
gentlemen, they will be beaten in the mountain
districts Our people here are not submis-
sionists -nearly all are for resistance, and for
efficient resistance, to the Clay compromise
but they have yet to be convinced that they have
more courage and patriotism than their Georgia
and North Carolina neighbors. They have too
muchmodesty to thrust themselves forward as
the only champions of Southern rights and
Southern honor. They believe that Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi are as spirited as
South Carolina, and that there is no very start
ling disgrace in their waiting for the co-opera-
ton of these States.
am gratifed that you have originated the
meeting in Charleston. Every South Carolinian
has vital interestin this question, but the people
of your city are peculiarly involved when you
are advertised in advance that you can become
asecond Moscow without exciting any sympathy
from the interior. The meeting will have
happy influence, and will, | trust, be followed
up by other meetings of our friends in every
district and parish in the State, and the seal Of
condemnation, by the people, put upon the rash
and unfortunate move of separate State action.

Secretaries.

The following is the resolution submitted
BY Mr. Carroll, and which was laid on the table
by vote of the meeting IL EDs. MERcuRy.
Resoiped, That, while we cannot believe our
sister States Of the South will submit, for any
considerable time, to the recent aggressions Of
The federal government upon their rights, and
while we have full faith in their intentions 10 co.
operate with each other for the vindication Of
those rights, we nevertheless declare that to
South Carolina is due the allegiance of each OF
her citizens, and that much as we deprecate her
separate secession from the Union, under erisi.
ing circumstances, yet should her constituted
authorities resolve upon such measure, we
shall then hold il TREASON in any person to op-
pose such determination.

Of secession:
Can we, in our sober senses, imagine that they
believed in the right of secession when they did
not even stipulate fixed time necessary TO give
notice of a contemplated secession, when they
knew quite as well as we do that not even COM
mon treaty Of defence and offence-no, not even
one Of trade and amity, is ever entered into BY
independent powers, without stipulsting the pc.
riod which must elapse between informing the
other parties of an intended withdrawal and the
time when Il actually can take place; and wher
they knew perfectly well that unless such pro
vision is contained in treaties all internationa
law interprets them as perpetuall When they
knew that not even two merchants join in part
nership without providing for the period neces
sary TO give notice of an intended dissolution o
the house. II seems to me preposterous 10 sup
pose it.
The Doctor has, perhaps, not read the de
bates in the conventions. How could time b,
fixed for secession, or notice Of secession Tha
time is determined by the conduct of the parties
When the compact is no longer observed, Of
when IL is abused, or when il is no lonpe
adapted TO the condition Of the people, then !,
the time Of secession-but how could our fore
fathers know when that time would come!
