SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.

We devote considerable portion of to-day's paper
to extracts from several of our exchanges, containing
information respecting the Soath Carolina Southern
Rights Convention. This body assembled at Char
lesion the 5,h, and adjourned the 9Th instant,
after passing series of Resolutions declaring that
South Carolina cannot submit to the wrong and ag-
gressions which have been perpetraed on her by the
Federal Government and the Northern States, with
out dishonor and ruin; expressing earnest desire
for the cooperation of the other Southern States a
rming the right of State to secede from the Union
as necessary consequence of her sovereignty; and
resolving that South Carolina should secede at
future day, though she should do so alone and call
ing the Legislature take the necessary steps
hold Convention of the people, the sovereign
power Of the State in defence of its rights. They
also adopted spirited address the Southern Rights
Associations of the other Southern States.
That the principle on which South Carolina acts
is just, think every State rights will readily
admit, but the prudence and expediency of the pres
ent and contemplated movements, may be liable to
question. 1t should be remembered that we cannot
force public sentiment, and i, is unquestonably the
fact that large number of citizens have not
abandoned the hope that the South will yet receive
justice something approaching to justice without
recourse extreme measures. But be tie event what
itmay, let it be remembered that the Democratic party
has and boldly opposed the assumption Of I'M
delegated powers by The Federal Government and
the aggressons of the North. Had the efforts of
Randolph and Macon and other staunch democrats
been properly seconded and stained when, more
than thirty years ago, they predicted the very state of
things which exists, and declared that they
would not yield tho nineteenth part of hair it had
not been thus with In the language of Langdon
Cheves, "The philosophy of liberty is jealousy.
The proper action of patriotism is the earliest posi-
BILE resistance the slightest encroachment the
public rights. - We feel that it is time that this ex-
citing question was settled,
We may exercise forbearance, may cry peace
peace, hut there is time when duty cries "if you
have humanity in you bear it not. " 1t is due to
posterity that should be in6rm of purpose and
put off the evil day, but if we involved in of
troubles let US bear the charter of liberties in
teeth, and with strong arms and determined spirits
buffet the waves hoping to land on a secure and
peaceful shore. ....

TwENTV-FoUa CITIES. The New Orleans papers
are hardly satisfied with the of that city, The
Bulletin says that in 1S40 the population of New
Orleans and Baltimore was within fraction of be-
ing alike, New Orleans then numbered l02 900 SOULS
and Baltimore 102.313. Boston then had popua-
ton of SO, $780, and Cincinnati 46.Gs2. Now the
relative position is follows: Baltimore l69, OPS,
Boston 13s,7sa, New Orleans 1l6 ,4O7, and Cincin-
natl 116,l68. Oftwenty-f cities, each with pop
ulaton of over 10000 find that the rate of increase
has been less in New Orleans than in any of the
manning twenty-three.

The BEAUTIES AND VIRTUE OF CoURrs. A work
has recently been published by Lord Holland, in
which he shows up the nonarchs of Europe and their
courts in that proves him to he great
scandal monger and 6bber the of Europe to
be no better than Infamous bGgniUs. According to
Lord Holland the King of Denmark was no better
than mailman, who amused himself by drawing OBJ
pictures upon the card tables which the Queen
Dowager sat; and pfetence of drinking toasts,
throwing wine in the face of his page who stood he
hind his chair. 1t is also said tina: Frederick Will
liam II of Prussia, finding himself blessed with
an heir to his crown, placed in his family good
looking officer of engineers, TO whose prepossessing
appearance the Queen WAS not long blind and the
handsome and accommodating chamberlain was in
he habit Of announcing annually to the King the
birth of a prince, till day, on announcing the
third, and receiving handsome present, the King
called him back, and thinking a momen', said :
|" 'rhree-um-that's enough" and the chamberlain
was dismissed.
According to Lord Holland, the Duke Of Y ork,
Queen Victorias uncle married the daughter of the
exilei and divorced Queen Of Prussia, by Muller,
musician, and the King Of Prussia, endearored to
seduce the Ilegitimate daughter of his own wife
and Alexander of Russia, if he not accomplish
in the murder of his father accessory after
the fact. He gives the of Napoleon the credit
of being the least immoral and dissipaed known in
France for three centuries.
Perhapslf he should lift the curtain and expose
the secrets of the of St. James, it would be
about as interesting and scandalous the OF
Continental Europe. NeaD York Day Book.

DREADFUL WHIRLwIND. A most frghtful whirl-
wind passed over portion of the eastern section of
this country, Sunday afternoon between and
o'clock in the day. 1t seems have taken It's rise
at Dunn's mountain, three miles SOUTHEAST of this
place. and travelling in Eastsrly direction, pros
trated almost every building fairly in its path. Con-
siderable damage of this kind is reported have been
done and the destruction of timber and fences was
complete. Even large stones were hurled from the
places they had occupied since creation morn. 1t
was fortunate that the track was narrow-sometimes
not exceeding seventy-fve yards in width. Many
persons who witnessed its passage and its ravages,
say that tops and limbs of trees, fence rails, &C.,
whrIed in the heavens like leaves and straw and
accompanied with a dense smoke. and roar almost
equal thunder, formed a scene the most awfully
sublime. Its fury was exhausted by the time it
reached the Yadkin river, eight ten miles
from the point of its rise. We have heard of loss
of life, either of man beast. ~

TEIE EIITuRE

The Richmond Examiner concludes an able article
| on the compromise in the following strong language
"The people Of the North by a vast majority, are
determined on the downfall of all legal barriers which
protect the institutions of the Southern States That
people hate US, their people hate US, their leaders
hale US, their children bred up accomplish our
ruin. Of what is fugitive slave law 10 the
South, when from the necessity of the it
be enforced among the people and by that peoples
officers This reflection, from the first OF the
proposed law, sufficiently assured all men who were
not determined be deceived that the whole affair
swndle-a thmble-rig-a stool-pigeon business.
No man IN the Congress which passed the bills did
not know that. Yet the gain of this thing of straw
is the which they give for surrendering
rhory which would have thrown the balance of pow
er entirely into Southern hands, and secured the
Union from all the storms which all the fanatics, of
all the Bosons could raise in the next hundred years.
AS it stands the face of the future is far differ
ent. Clouds, shadows, and darkness rest upon it.
These are, indeed, but the beginning of sorows.'
How the South is to defend itself any can
not tell. Every day increases the preponderance
against US. Hemmed in limited space, with all
the world against US, and crusade preached for our
overthrow more fanatcal, more powerful, and more
fearless than that which Peter the Hermit stirred up
thousand years ago, will secure indepen-
dence only through of blood and fire. WEI
may hope that some fortunate interposon of events
will belle the indications of the present time but
that the facts all point terrible future
can no more be doubted than the existence of these
facts is attributable to the Congress which compro-
missed the Constitution. -
