Mass STATE CONVENTION.

The issues at stake in the election pending
this fall, are Of such moment, it behooves every
lover Of his kind, and every friend of the pro-
grcss Of liberal sentiments, to awake to the i'm
portance Of making what eff1rts and sacrifices
are necessary, in order to secure a large attend
ence at the Convention of the people, which is
10 be holden at Watcrtown, on the 18th Sept
next. The great masses of freemcn, which 90
10 make up the democratic party in this vigorous
and progressive State, are tired and sick to death
of being nosed about by the corrupt wire pull
lors, who have hitherto managed SO as to get and
hold the keys Of The government.
The Convention which meets at Madison, will
of course meet on the base of the resolutions of
40, and they will either reafiirm those resou-
tions, or repeal them, or say nothing about them
If they reafirm them, by electing delegates to
the Convention at Baltimore, they will nulify
them-ifthey repeal them, as no doubt an attempt
will be made, they will no doubt carry out the
honest convictions of q majority Of the dele
gates present. but this will stulti(y themselves.
Ifthey ignore them, and make no mention of
them, which to us seems most likely-there is
little doubt but that they will form few reso-
lutions commencing the Union and Compromise
Measures, and thank God the question of slave
ry is at last settled.
Whatever course they pursue, there is no
chance for the consistent and true hearted, whole
souled democrat to fall in with their men or their
measures.
Surprising you unite with them this fall and
20 to Madison, and elect delegates to Baltimore

You made no reserye-you need not have
made any--you knew that the nominee of the
Baltimore Convention, would be STAKEHOLDER or
his pimp. And with what pfoprcty can you do
by another, what you would not do yourself?
The fact is, there is bat one course for honest
and Independent men to pursue-make up your
minds for contest, with the all-engulphing mon

Mr.. EDITOR: The approaching
election for delegates 10 the Slate
Convention is ore of such immense
Importance tothe people, that I can
not refrain from urging all who love
their country TO go out and vote on
that occasion. Never before has the
living generation been called upon to
exercise privilege of!he polls or so
solemn and momentous an occasion.
We have whI ON voted for Represen-
tatives and Presidents, and stmven to
control the legislation and 10 shape
the policy Of great Republic, but
never before have we exercised that
power which is superior to Presidents
d beyond Constitutions, the high
est of earthly prerogahyes and the
pride and boast of our people-,he
right To make and unmake Govern
menIs. At the polls OH next Mon
day il is given us 10 exercise this great
privilege, and then and there will we
decide, not on our fate alone, but on
The fate of unborn millions. For on
the future policy of South Carolina,
on the course which she shall pursue
with regard 10 the great questions
which now agitate The country de-
pend not only the preservation of her
rights and the rights of her children,
but the Ultimate success of free in
stltutions in this western world. This
may seem grapdiloquent and very
much like gasconade, but think for
yourselves, and its truth will soon be
apparent.
Think how the tyrants Of the earth
have scowled upon our attempts to
extend and perpetuate political free
dom, and with what eager desire
they have watched for the failure |!
Think how the benefcient and good,
how the wise and great of all kim
dreds and tongues, who have been
hopeful for man, have watched the
progress of orr republican principles;
and then, think Of oss otca Federal
Government. Think how the pure
principles of Washington and Jeffer-
son have been forgotten or despised,
how ne'o doctrines aud strange inter-
pretatiOns have crept into the creeds
OF politicians, and how all are slriv.

Two weeks ago, replied to en-
article ethrough The Mesaenaar. fioml-
mating me for the State ention.
] have just seen in the Courier that
| am again proposed by a COMMUNE
cation for your paper. AS my form
er response may not have met the
eye of your readers, ] request the
favor Of you to insert this note,
have not been inclined to be a
candidate for any office whatever
and ! certainly have neither directly,
nor indirectly, sought this nomination.
But it is for majority of the vot $
of the election district Of PendIett
10 command the service of any of
her citizens in the proposed Conven-
tion. If they second the call made
on me, ] shall not decline. IF they
do not, shall be perfectly Satisfied
for the responsibility to deyolvo on
others.
On the great question which has
led TO the call Of Convention, I ed.
here to the fundamental doctrine of
the old republican party, as promui-
gated ill the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions, that in case of the exer-
clse by Congress Of powers not dele
gated, the States in their sovereign
capacity have the right, (each for il
self,) 10 Judge, not only of the infrac-
ton, but of the mode and measure
of redress.
The united resistance of the South
ern States, or even Of three or four
of them, TO the usurpatione of the
General Government, and the tyran-
ny OF a sectional majority, would
perhaps, even yet, bring back that
Government TO its legitimate sphere
of action. And all possible means
should be used 10 effect this Union.
But if it cannot be brought about, l
hold that disunion is preferable to
submission 10 the acts of govern
ment which has no limitation of pow
cr. A consolidated central Govern
ment, overriding the sovereignty of
the States, lregard as no better than
a monarchy. Ii is indeed, worse,
for there is the shadow of liberty
without the subslance-the mockery
of representation which is always
overwhelmed by an unscrupulous
sectional majority.
