Important State IF Affairs Threatened Rupture
,oith France, and Anneratisn 10 the United

From the Alta California, april Is.
From the recent account received from Homo
lulu, it would appear that the French had sent
in their ultimatum ard given until the goth ult
for the government to decide whether to accede
or refuse What was to be the next step in
case OF refusal by the authorities, does not APP
pear; but the supposition is that blockade OF
the port would be declared or perhaps some
thing more immediate effective resorted to. If
either the one or the other be attempted, that
moment will be the signal for running up the
flag of the United States Wits the Hawaiian
This is no guess work. 1t comes tn us in the
most positive form. 1t has been determined
upon by the King and his Ministry, that if the
French attempt q blockade, or TO take pos
session, the government will hoist the stars and
stripes, and throw the kingdom upon the protec-
tion of the United States. We think our arl-
thority for saying thisis perfectly reliable. The
course has been decided upon in cons ieration
Of the inability of the Islands to contend against
the forces which France might send against them,
and also from the fact that the almost entire in
terests of the Islands IN the hands of foreigners
are those of the Americans. In Honolulu at
least three fourths of the foreigners are Ameri-
cans, their number being at least two thousand,
while in the same place the number of French
subjects its about dozen. France cannot fire
a shot into the towns of the Hawaiian kingdom
without destroying the property Of the citizens
of the United States. The moment she does so,
she will find her account opened with UncleSam,
and a strict reckoning will be demanded aud
will be had. There is no use in beating about
the bush in this matter any longer. The French
must avoid collision witt the Hawaiien kingdom
or they will obige us to assume a responsibility
not flattering to them.

the question the tobacco monoples, which en-
counters much opposition, but otherwise the
suppressing of the late revolt has produced d
feeling of attachment to the American govern
ment on the part Of the peasantry, as it has re-
lieved them from the tyranny and exactions Of
the Hungarians, many of whom had taken part
in the insurrection only in the hope Of emanci-
patng themselves from the control of Austria,
which was beginning to espouse the cause Of
the productive classes. A penary meeting of
the conference took place at Dresden, May I'd, at

MIR, WEBSTER,S LATE LETTER

Is not producing exactly the effect, de-
signed by the great Massachusetts, States
man. In view of his implied menaces, some
of the most laggard spirits in our ranks, are
rubbing their eyes, and muttering such sig
nifeant words us "tyrant" "armor," "rcvo-
lution," &c. Send 4 "few more of the same
Sort" Mr. Secretary. Who can better break
the mcsmcrc charm, than he who produced
it! Some Of your down-eastcrs," may
quail before your threats; but it makes true
Southern hearts tlirob with defiance. We
are not yet, the vassals of King Danicl-not
vet province of Massachusetts, We hold
the hints of coercion, made by the man, as
lightly as we do his constitutional interpre-
tations. And we dread not his State, though
she bristle with bayonets.
When South Carolina docs go into this
conflict as 60 she must and will, we cannot
believe that there will be found one rccreant
battalion among her sons. Without distinc-
tion of party, each and every citizen will
rally around tho altar his idolized State,
and, placing one hand upon the sa.red SYM
bols of Truth and Justice, will, with the ot,er,

and humanity OF our District, TO make this

that this expectation is based upon the belief
that our citizens will hasten 10 embrace NJ

MONTGOMERY, March 3. lS5


GENTLEMEN: have just read your article
in the Mercury of the 9th ulimo, headed
"Soutil Crrona, the Hope of the South. "
and concur in every sentiment therein cx-
pressed.
Every man who has looked philosphicaly
upon the present state Of affairs, must have
long since made UP lis mind that there is no
hope for the South, except i'll SoWh Carolina
Virginia, who should be thc Southern Van
guard, is timid, and will not lead; and the
other surrounding States must have some
one 10 follow. None wiN lead but your
brave little State, and if she does not do it,
and it soon, ALL Is LOST. If she .tullers. our
common crcmirs will be encouraged, and
wreck and ruin will be our doom.
There is no possible expectation Of concert
two attempts at Convention in Nashville
conclusire!y proveit. It is SYNONYMOUS with
Submission TO place State action upon sucIla
contingency. Let South Carolina 20 out of
the Union by herself and if the Federal CO.
vcrnmcnt darcs to raise her hand against her,
the slave States will scccdc in q body, and
fly to her rescue. Indeed, when ono bold
spirit acts, the more timid will do likewise
1t my opinion that the South will never do
anything until some State withdraws from
the Union uLOne, and the fears of the others
are quic:cd in their disappointmcnts as TO rar.
Cowardcc is ut the bottom of our recreancy.
All feel our wrongs, and but few have the
spirit TO resent them. Every day that passes
schools us to submission, and year or two
more will make us slaves.
If South Carolina has not degeneratrDl let
her act 'cuhogl delay: the hope Of the South
is in her! TO her every slave State is ready
