As soon as the Commandant Gen.
eral of the Province learned the
abandonment Of the City of Las
Palmas, he sent a portion of the
garrison OF the capital to bury the
dead, but the greater portion Of the
soldiers were attacked by the cpl.
demic and died. Ia short, in order
TO give an idea OF the ravages Of the
pest, it is only necessary TO state that
in two months 5000 persons died in
the city Of Las Palmas, and 5000
in the whole Island. Up to the last
dates the plague had spared the
towns of Agalee and Fejeda.

FROM THE COLUMBIA TELEcRAPH.

Let the first business Of the State Convcn-
ton be to notify our co-Statcs, that it is the i'll
tention Of the'State Of South CiIrOna, to lonvo
the Federal Union. This notice might be SER
we'd Oil the Governors OF the States, who would
doubtless present it to their Legislatures for
consideration. The Legislatures would all de-
clare their opinions on the question of the right
to seccde.
BY this course, we would ascertain what
States recognize the right to scccde, and what
States deny it. The question whether we
would be permitted to depart in peace, or
whether we should be required to cut loose by
the sword would in great degree be settled
We should then better know what to do in the
way Of preparation. 1t is Of the greatest i'm
portance to know whether secession is to be a
work Of war, or one of peace. Until this is
settled, our people will not unite with the same
interest and zeal, in making the preparation
that may be necessary to carry us out Of the
Onion. Indeed itmay not require any prepa.
ration to withdraw, as many OF our wisest men
believe, and therefore the funds and labor thus
expended, would be lost.
The momentous question of State Sovereign
ty, would then receive profound and deliber-
ate discussion, and practical consideration
by all the co.. States, consideration under cir
cumstances Of the deepest interest. The grave
question, Is our Government practically, aehat.

MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR.

On the Oath ut., Charles Sumner was elected
Senator to Congress from the State OF Massl
chusetts, for six years from the 9TH of March
1851. This is another signal triumph of the
"hgher law doctrine Of the North, and one OF
more fearful utercs. to the South tl.au any that
has yet taken place, because it was a contest
regular "stand up fight" between the Copsti.
tuition and "Hisher Law" The latter has til.
umphed, and Massachusetts has said by the act
that the Constitution will be no barrier in car.
rying out her fanatical purposes Of Abolition
VIII our neighbor OF the WMchman notice this
fact, and tell its readers il Sewardism is waning
at the North Or not; or will it say, as in the
case OF Fish, that he is no Abolitionist, but a
very conservative MANI Here are Summers
deliberate sentiments, deliberately expressed:
CHARLES SUMNER IN STATE CONVENTION.
Owe demand, first and foremost, the Instant
repeal Of the fugitive slave bill.
ave demand that Congress receive into the
Union no new slave State. "
"And yet one thi,,g further must be done
The slave power must be overturned, SO that
the federal government may be put openly, ac-
lively, and perpetually Oh the sile Of freedom.
"And still further, as if to do deed which
should make Heaven weep-'all earth amazed
this same Congress, in disregard of all the
cherished safeguards Of freedom, has passed a
most cruel, unchiistian, deviHsh law, to secure
the return .iato. slayery Of those unfortunate
bondmen who are found sheltered by our fire.

Into the immortal catalogue of nationa!
crimes this law has now passed, drawing with
it, by All inexorable necessity, ITS authors also,
and chiefly him who, as President of the United
States, set his name to the bill, and breathed
into it that final breath without which it would
have no life. ., ,-s.....-
"Other Presidents may be forgotten, but the
name signed to the fugitive bill will never be
forgotten. There are depths Of iniamy us there
are heights of fame. Better far for him had
he never been born; better far for his memory
and for the good name Of his children had he
never been President.
"Sir, will not dishonor this home Of the
pilgrims and of the revolution, by admitting
nay, cannot helieve--that this bill will be exc.
cuted here. Individuals among US, as else.
where, may forget humanity in 4 fancied 10y
atty to law; but the public conscience will not
allow a man who has trodden our streets as a
freeman to be dragged away as a slave. The
fugitive slaves Of the United States are among
the heroes Of our age"

pathy, not from the characteristic magnanimity
alone of her people, but from the conmonest
dictate of interest and self:preservation; for if
South Carolina were allowed to be made vic
tim by anti-slavery hostility, her fate would i'll
time become the fate of the other Southern
States. They should remember that anti-slavc.
ry hates not South Carolina alone, but slavery
and that hatred will show itself in deeds as well
us words whcH it gets, as it evidently must, the
entire mastery OF this Government.
Separate secession is Il question of policy for
South Carolina. We see in it Il formidable and
appalling array of difficulties. and we conceive
it would be no dishoaor to that State to avoid
them. The Federal Government would not
shed the blood Of her citizens, but would viclnl-
ze her by hostile legislation.
1t would do this not by the votes Of Southern
members Of Congress, Mr.. Clay and few such
apostatcs to the South excepted. But there
would be Northern anti-slavery votes enough in
Congress to Go this, and the auti-slavery section
of the Union would find in Milard Fillmore, and
aboltionist and slavery hater in heart, a willing
instrument to carry out the attrocious schemes
of oppression.
If South Carolina elects to remain in the
Union, aud, true to her past history, continues
to fight against anti-slavery cncroachnents,
contcsting inch by inch her friends in the South
will increase, until more than one Southern
State will bein full sympathy with her. This
union Of Southern States will check the aboli-
tonsts, and save our institutions in the Union,
or it will produce Southern Conlederacy
which will be sufficiently strong te protect itscli.
Either result will be creditable alike to the s;l-
gacity and spirit Of South Carolina.
