Appoint meeting by your own party
invite all to attend, but arrange the proceed
ings yourselves. If your cause is weak
ore, allure your opponents by putting forth
in your hand bills in glaring capitals that
the meeting will! be addressed by the very
leading men Of your opponents, who you
know of all others will nos be there.
They may. you know come out to hear
such men, when they nigh, not be induced
to come out to hear your own, whose
"thrice told tale" vexss the ear, like the
same whispered to ga drowsy man." A
very good addition will be to nominate all
the speakers yourselves, and arrange the
debate, and this ID exactly the way to OBJ
tain the sort Of free discussuion which those
desire who for months back, have been
afraid to call meeting Of an association
originally proposed for very different purpo-
ses than that 10 which il is now desired to
appoint it, not in the light, but "under a

COMMUkICATED.

II ever there was a period in our politi-
cal existence demanding the calm and at
teDtiye consideration OF the people of South
Carolina, that period is the present. The
State has been urged TO crisis, the evil
effects Of which, can only be avoided by Il
determined effort on the part of those who
prize The good name and character OF the
State to rise in their might, and crush the
endeayor while in its bud. Freemen Of
Sumter, who are not afraid 10 speak out,
arise at once and put down this clamor
about Secession 30 fatal to your political
rights and future prosperity. The only ef-
feet Of it, will be to convert idle politicians
into your mastcrs, to tnx your substance
depreciate the value of your land and
slaves, and make you easy victims to their
own aggrandizemcnt. You have the pow
er now, exercise It before it is too late.
