The south Carolina Convention.


This Convention. which assembled at Charles
ton on Monday the 5,h inst, adjourned On Thurs
day the slh. The Address and Resolutions pre-,
scented by the majority Of the business committee
were adopted with but few dissenting voices.
They will be found in another part Of to-dsy's
paper They declare for secession, either with
or without the cooperation Of other Southern
States, The Convention was a self-constiiuted
body, possessing no official character, and with
out authority or influence. except what II may
derive from the character and standing OF its
members. Less decisive measures are favored by
many Of the leading men Of the State, such as
Langdon Cheves, Senator Butler, Representative
Orr, Mr.. Barnwel, &C. hut they appear TO be
not less disafiecied towards the Union. The Ma
,iona Tnteligcncer, speaking Of the speech Of Se'
nator Butler, says; "rhere IL enough in that
speech alone to arouse the torpid sense Of the
mass OF the People Of South Carolina-who have
hitherto allowed the Arstocracy and Hereditary
Wealth of the State to use It's political power TO
answer their personal ends-and induce them to
look ahead TO the abyss Of wretchedness and suf'
fering into which, without any agency or con-
sent Of theirs, and against the earnest advice o.
some Of the grayest and wisest men of the State
they are to be inevitably plunged, if they do mo-
assert and exercise the power to avert the dir
catastrophe"
The Associations" by whom the delegates t.
this Convention we're appointed, are composed Q
the most extreme Of the elements Of discomfort
Cd people, and the Intclligcncer well asks, wha
could be expected from Convention so constl
tuied, bot disorganizing and anti Union counsel
and recommendations The purpose for whicl
they we've delegated was 10 concentrate the ven
ON Of Disunion, and give to it greater activii,
Under circumstances SO notorious, the issue
this Convention falls Ear short of what was il
tended by its projectors"

The Democrat quotes paragraph from our
paper, in which we expressed desire to possess
the volumes of the Congressional Globe and APP
pendix, containing the debates on the compro-
mise measures, and says he hopes some friend
will furnish them to us Immediately, adding that
he thinks we "need light upon this subject. and
many others, sadly" Well, there is this differ
ence between US. We desire light and are not
SO vain as to think we could not obtain some
from the debates in Congress; the Democrat
seems to think be is wise enough already. But
we have been no inattentive observers, and think
we have had no small opportunities Of picking
up information upon subjects which have SO long
agitated the country and we are certain we have
had desire to come to right conclusions. II the
editor Of The Democrat had been actuated by like
motives, and had made use Of the lights before
him, we think he. too, might have derived some
profit, though he seem so well satisfied with bis
present attainments.
But we had another object in view when We
expressed the desire to have these debates. We
may find it desirable sometimes to know wha
certain men said on that occasion, and to be abb,
to bring up the record to speak for or agains
them. We have no fears Of the record, but SOM
persons have. How it may be with our neigh
Dor, time will show.

Mr.. Venable.-We are not altogeth-

But we don't believe that firm friend
of the Union upon the terms ofthe Com
