Eden,
Warbler Of Sweden
Hast thou stood, ike the Peri, with vyistful eyes
Gazing in at tie gates of Paradise.
And then while lay spirit was longing to STARE
The JOY Of the blessed who are wandering there,
Didst thoI ca,c4 the soft notes of TIE song they
sung,
And the tones that from golden harp-stTings rung
Till each cadence that rose and that died away,
Left an echo 70 dwell with child Of clay?
Oh, Jenny! that r1usic OF heavenly birth
Hath been bone on the b1eezes that traverse the
earth;
The old world fr=t heard. with rapturous start,
While the life blood moved quick through her
aged heart
Il breathed on The sea, and the waves clapped heir
hands,
Bearing oceans applause to the far Distant lar ds,
And the mermaid came up from her green orys-
tai cave,
And old Neptune paused on the crest of a wave
While the ocean-trd, resting on pinioas Of srow,
Looked down on eAe vessel that rolled below.
As She galIantly reared fair Columbia shore,
Seeming conscious, and proud Of tie prize she
bore
But hark q voice Is stealing
From nay distant western home,
Il tells thee 6 de prairies,
And whispers thee to come.
L breathes Of shady dingle
and quie, forest gloom.
OF sunny bill and valleys,
Where sweet wild flowers bloom
Il tells thee q the music
Beneath the free blue SKY,
The music oi t.4e prairies,
Where Wandering breezes sigh
The music q size forest
When all lie birds awake,
And from the green leaves lightly
The spark'ias dew drops shake.
The music 81 The valleys
Where little =,iearalets run,

From the South Carolinian.
That FalatSNsy,, :aS Last

We have been often told by our co-opera-
ton friends, when talking Of the defeat of
secession, 10 swat until we saw their plat
FORM" We had become somewhat impa-
ticnt, but at last have the satisfaction Of lay
ing before our readers the long expected
document The late hour at which We re-
ceiyeG it prevents any comments to-day.
We quote from the Charleston Standard the
proceedings Of the meeting held here:
SAT meeting of the cooperation party,
held at Columbia, on the evening of Satur-
day, the 29ih instant, the Hon. Langdon
Chevcs, Hon. R. w. Rarnwell, Chancellor J.
Johnson, Col. Jas. Chestnut, Jr., Col. T. N.
Dawkins, A. p Aldrich, and the Hon. John
Townsend, who, at a previous meeting, had
been appointed a committee to report mat
ters for the action of the meeting, submitted
the following preamble and resolutions,
which were adopted:
The committee of seven beg leave to re-
port:
That, in the present aspect of affairs;
they deem it inexpcdicnt to do more than to
indicate by few simple resolutions the
platform upon which, according to their
Judgment, the people Of South Carolina
have placed themselves by the recent elec-
ton.
l. Rcsolred, That we regard the State
as having decided, that whilst the right of
seeding is fundamental and indisputable,
the exercise of it by single State, without
well grounded assurance of the concurrence
and support Of other States, is not the ap-
propriate remedy for existing grievances, nor
the sufficient safeguard against those which
menace US in the future, and that any at
tempt, either directly or indirectly, to accom-
plish this purpose, would be made in con-
travenion of the clear declaration of the
public will.
2. Resolred, That we regard the State
as having decided that concert Of action
among the slaveholding States, or q sufficient
number of them to make their action effec-
tual is essential to remedy existing evils,
and to protect themselves against those
which impcnd over them, and that co-ope-
ration among them for these purposes-ougIt
to be earnestly sought after and promoted.
8. Resolred, That the State maintains a
deep and indignant sense Of the grievances
and dangers which oppress and assail her,
and perseveres in her determination to re-
move and avert them, so soon as the CO.
operation of other slaveholding States shall
give to her action, efficiency, and render her
security permanent.
4. Resolred, That we regard these de-
clarations Of The public will rs having taken
away the causes which separated those who
advocated separate secession from those who
advocated cooperation, and that we shall
feel sincere satisfaction should they now
unite in pursuing that line of policy which
the State has marked out for herself, in
strict accordance with the principle hereto.

promote cooperation shonld be preserved

What the Patriot Thinks.

We extract the following paragraph from
the Grcenvile Patriot of the 18th, Nov. says.
"WiIl The State Convention be convened
by the Legislature? We think not. The
fiery spirits in the Legislature, the true sc-
ccssionists will scorn the .idea of South Car
olna assembling in Convention to declare
her submission, and take her "step back
ward" The o-operationiAts will vote against
it, because it would be calling into existence
Il power over which they have no control.
The Union men, in numbers hardly to be
counted in the Legislature, will of course
oppose all revolutionary movements. So,
between the odds and ends of parties, we
think there will b. Il majority in the Legisla-
tire opposed to the calling together Of the
State Convention.
"What, then, will the Legislature do?
In reference to our federal relations, we
think it would be as well, as an Irishman in
Grecnrile said last winter about Col. Mem
minger's plan of waiting ten years, "to t0ok
10 tke Lora and be dismiSSed' Paddy thought
after hearing the Colonel's war speech in the
Court House in November, that there would
certainly be fight before the first Of January.
His amazcment was profound when the Col.
had developed his plan ofaction in the Legis-
lature, and told us that if we got under way,
and stood fair chance of 4 fight after ten
years agitation and patient waiting, we should
be doing very well. Ii that be the case, said
the fiery son of Erin, "lct us look to the

Homestead Exemption.

We are gratiied to notice that Mr. Tucker.
of Spartanburg, contemplates the introduce
tion Of bill to increase the amount of pro-
perty exempt from levy and sale. This is
a step towards perfect homestead eyemp-
ton lava law which has been adopted in Il
number of States, and which will doubtless
prove salutary one for the interests of the
the localities in which it may be adopted.
Let a mans home be inaienable, except by
his own free will. and he will have IN addi.
tional tie to bind him and his children to the
soil. Let the industrious farmer know that
the roof which covers his family and the few
acres that support them are exempt from the
consequences Of the reverses he may meet,
and you give him fresh energy in his daily
toil-you give himaddilional motives to bcau-
tify his home. and improve his farm. Such 4

Division of California.

Our readers are aware that efforts are ma.
king to divide California into North and
South. That the latter will become slave
State Immediately upon this division, we
hold to be inevitable. That the former will
become slave State ultimately, we have
also no question. Slavery will be the only
agent of civilization in that country. A
farmer population will never be found to in
crease in region where the mines are con-
stantly urging this common appetite. Nay,
negro slavery ITSELF must furnish the most
efficient labor finally at the mines The
present political necessity for the division is
urged by portion of the people Of South
California from the following consdera-
tions:
That the mining counties of the north
containing the mass of the population of the
State, pay very small proportion of the
taxes.
That the burdens of taxation fall upon
the farmers, graziers, and landholders of the
south.
That the State is in debt to the extent of
S2,000,000; that the cities and counties Of
the northern section are also invoI@ed and
that the prospect is an addition to the exac-
tion upon the South.
That they desire to escape the partial and
ruinous legislation of rash and ignorant pol
ilicians, fund-mongers, stockholders, and
spectators.
That, from the extent of the surface of
the State, it will be next too impossible to
make laws Of general nature which will
not be injurious to the pastoral interests Of
the northern counties.
