In pursuance of call, which had been very
nnmerously signed, meeting was held last
night at the Hibernian Hall, of those who are
in favor of co. operation and opposed to seperate
State action, for the purpose of resistance, un-

the storm and heavy rain, which occurred at the
hour for assembling, the meeting was very large,
filling the hall, and many who came failed to
gain admittance Not only in regard TO num-
bers, but in the earnest enthusiasm Of those
who were assembled, and the patriotic spirit
with which it was animated, it evnced the high
resolve which governed those who were anxious
to discharge their duty to the State, with deep
regard to the momentous consequences WHICH
were involved.

no doubt that they will give the harmony
which the wolf gives to the lamb.

yention would be left untrammeled, to act with

The late proceedings of the actionists, wher-

PEELED that illusion. and if the schemes of the
leaders cannot be frustrated, then secession is
fixed fact The people, however, in my judg-

gentlemen, they will be beaten in the mountain
districts. Our people here are not subms-
sionists--nearIy all are for resistance, and for
efficient resistance, to the Clay compromise
bat they have yet to be convinced that they have
more courage and patriotism than their Georgia
and North Carolina neighbors. They have too
much modesty 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. h
am gratified that you have originated the
meeting in Charleston. Every South Carolinian
has vital interest in this question, but the people
of your city are peculiarly involved, when you
are advertised in advance that you can become
a second Moscow without exciting any sympathy
from the interior. The meeting will have a
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.

H The New York Tribune thus exuts in the
formation of an Abolition party in Kentucky,
with the probability of a defeat of the Whio
party-not that it loves Wing principles less
but Abolition more
In Kentucky State officers, as we'll as men,
bers Of Congress, are to be chosen on the 4tb.
Hon. Archibald Dixon, the Wing candidate,
will have very close pull for governor, and the
probability Is that we will lose it. Cassius M.
Clay is running Independently for this office, on
the ground Of emancipation, and is severely
blamed for 80 doing in certain quarters. II is
thought that as the State recently decided against
emancipation, the question should be allowed to
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 it has now been rejected. ia
but an additional reason for its instant and per.
manent agitation. II is well that the emancino.
tonsts should organize and display their forces
in the way in which they may be most effective
IL IS true, however, that their movement will
have an unfavorabe effect on the Whig ticket
gubernatorial and congressional, and especialv
on the form er. Mr.. Dixon ia one of the most
bitter opponets of emancipation in the State
and in the recent constitutional convention pro.
posed to make the publication of an emancipa
tion paper a penitentiary offence The emanci
pstionists are naturally not in love with hin
after this, and az they are found more among IN,
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 If, n
our most recent information lesds us to suppose
Cassius M. Clay receives 1000 TO 5000 votes
1t IL highly probable that Powell the oppositio,
candidate, will be elected by plurality. This w
should deeply regret for many reasons, bnt still
