MEETING IN CHARLEsToN.--The Charleston
Mercury contained yesterday call for pub ic
meeting of secessonsts of that city, signed by
about seventeen hundred names Judging from
the late mayors election, and taking it for
granted that the sgners OF this call are all voters,
we are brought TO the conclusion that majority
OF the people Of Charleston are for immediate
secession. There were in the late election but
about twenty-five hundred ballots cast. From
this it would seem that the triumph Of the Fed
eralists in Mississippi has had the effect which
our readers were prepared to expect from it, of
strengthening the secession party in Charleston.
Let Georgia follow MississppTs example, and
the last hope of forming efficient party for
the protection of Southern rights in the Union,
WILL in the minds Of manv of the cooperation
ists of South Carolina, de om. From that time,
(if that time shall unfortunately Gomez we may
expect to see them swelling the ranks of the i'm
