South CAROLINA IN THE OLDEN TME.-The
New York Express has been reviving some re-
miniscences of the love of the Union which ac-
tuated the earlier statesmen of South Carolina.
1t has been quoting largely from the speeches
Of the Pinckneys, and other great men of the
"o!dcn Time" TO show how fervcnt was their
support of that Union which their degenerate
descendants would now sever The Richmond
Republican quotes much of this article with
great JUNCTION, and concludes its remarks with
these words:
is this the time for South Carolina to talk Of
secession! Let her consult the pages Of her
early fathers, and learn with them to regard the
Union the Palladium Of Safety"
But the Express and the Republican have both
forgotten one important fact
The Union that our ancestors so ardcntly adj
mircd, is the Union for the preservation of
which South Carolina would even now spend
her last cent Of treasure, and pour out her last
drop Of blood. The Union which South Caro-
lima would discover is Union which these no.
BILE ancestors would have scornfully spurned
beneath their feet, had the North dared to make
them the offer Of so inquitious compact

JACKSON COUNTY FOR THE SoUTH-A meet
ing in Jackson County, in this State was helt
some time since, Mt the house Of Mr. Grantham
preamble and resolutions, which we unanimously
adopted. We select and publish the following
as the best, and most important ones .
Resolved, That Congress, having no power
but that delegated to itby the Constitution, haC
no right to admit California us a State, on the
mere merit of expediency.
Resolued, That we look upon the fraudulen,
admission of California, as State, into the
Union, and the abolition of the slave trade in
the District of Columbia, as gross and nnpre
cedented violation of the Constitution.
Resolped, That we hold it to be self-evident
that when party to a contract, discards one OF
more of its stipulated conditions, that all parties
therein interested, are released from any further
obligations, to wit:
RESOLVED, That when bond of an agreement
ceases to secure the objectsfor which it is made,
it then becomes necessary for the party aggrieyed
to seek redress.
Resolued, That in view of the present state of
governmental affairs, our representatives and
senators, are hereby requested to use all honor
able means to restore to us, our lost equality,
even If it be in secession.
RESOLVED, That in the absence of an union of
equality, which has been denied US by acts of
Congress, through an abolition agreement, we
hereby pledge ourselves to the Union of the
South"
RESOLVED, That Jefferson Davis, one of our
senators, and our four representatives in Con
gress, have our sincere thanks for their fair and
manly course in battling for Southern rights.

said, Richie would do very we'll in Virginia, and
the South, but not in Washington, at the head Of
national organ; and it is rather late in the day
10 hold man 10 account for agreeing subsanti-
ally with General Jackson. Mr. Richie became
technical Democrat because he was born in dem
ocratic Virginia, in the shade Of such democratic
oaks Jefferson and Madison. Had he been
born in France. the highest honors to which his
ambition would have aspired would have been TO
become the editor and proprietor OF the official
organ, LIE MoNirEuR.
There are men whs Democrats in every
cline and under every government---they are the
men Of independent character and mind, not wor-
shippers of idols, and toadies t. authority. We
all remember Mr.. Richie as the editor Of the
government organ under Mr. Polk--how he sent
round his beggar's basket to the departments for
news, and how, when any one CHANGED TO get
news In advance of him, he came down on the
" letter writer's" like the house-maid in the farm
yard on the poultry. Mr. Richie was then
national man far the administration was ma
tonal; he was for 54 40 as long the admins
traton was for 81 40. and came down " fat
footed" on 49, when the administration conceded
that boundary. The only times when MIR. Richie
was national, on his 0tcn account, WIS, LIST, when
he embraced Jenny Lind in the name fthe Amer
lean people; Ia western member might have per-
formed that interesting ceremony in manner
quite us satisfactory and ID. when, taking the
Prince Of Wales for his model he applied, through
parliament, to the nation, to pay his debts.
again hore that Congress will not turn deaf
ear to Mr.. Ritchie's opportunities. If Mr.. Richie
really means to leave Washington, there is no
sum, however large, which the people would
grudge to effect SO desirable object. AS to my
self. am neither an applicant for Office, nor sup
plicant for charity. am alike independent ofthe
administration and Of Congress--of parties and
party acks, and quite Indifferent to the dying
curse Of the Washington Union.

PROTESTANT CONFERENCE.-The find in the
Raleigh Standard the proceedings of the con
ference of this denomination OF christians in
North Carolina, held in Granville county on the
9Th inst. During the session, the following re-
solutions were adopted with respect to the Ohio
Wesleyan Methodists, lately preaching against
slavery in Guilford comfy:
Resolred, That in the view Of some efforts that
are being made under the specious name OF
Wesleyan Methodsm, to introduce and enforce
the doctrine of abolition of slavery in this State
by the agency Of certain men, who have dared
to assume the name of christian ministers, il is
the duty of all the ministers and preachers OF
this conference, to show their unqualified disap-
probation Of all such efforts and ministers. by
standing entirely aloof from all such assoca-
tons, and not to assist or participate in any OF
their mischieyous and wicked and lawless efforts
to subvert the order, peace, and prosperity of the
citizens of our State
Resolred, furthermore, That those evil and arch
agents in this mischief, Mcbride, Crooks, and
Bacon, should not be permitted to assume any
part OF amy religious service performed in any OF
our chapels or preaching places.
Whereas, II is publicly known TINT certain
ministers, calling themselves true Wesleyan
Methodists, have been convicted ofintermeddling
with the institution of slavery in our State, and
have fomeAted strife and discord, both in social
and religious point of view, and have brought
much odum on the Christian name and fur
thermore, as persons at distance from the scene
of these transactions may not be fully aware
that the ministers above mentioned are not of
our own order,
Rcsolred. That the political papers in sour
State, friendly to truth and justice, be requested
to announce that the authors of these disturb
ances are not Methodist Professionals, but true
Wesleyan Methodists, ESQ called from the
State of Ohio"

The FUcITIvE SLAVE CAsE.-The proceed
ings in the case of Henry Long, the alleged flu
gtive slave, which have been occupying large
share Of public attention, and very consider
able portion of the time of many of our law
courts for the last week, are yet unfinished
they have, however, taken an extraordinary turn,
and one which will be calculated to adjust the
only apparent point at issue. Is Henry Long a
fugitive slave, or is he freeman! The counsel
for the defence have issued half dozen writs
of habeas corpus, disputing the legality of the
tribunal before which the accused was being ex-
amined. None of these writs have been as yet
decided, and two remain adjourned over till the
9Th of January. Yesterday, the claimant APP
piled for, and obtained, ,carraM from The United
STATES Circuit Court, for the body of the al
legged fugitive, and he was accordingly brought
before that tribunal, where the case will be pro-
ceded with this day, and the result may probably
lead to the grave and important question, ,ohether
ths State Courts, or the United States Courts,
are paramount in their authority as to the dis
position of a case which comes peculiarly before
the United States authorities
