THE ATTITUDE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Chiyalry of the Palmetto State have had
great aud glorious meeting. The occasion was
to celebrate the battle of Fort Moultrie. After
the milingtary had tired themselves out, and
become covered with the dust of the city and the
glory of the occasion, they, and few hundred
others, got on board of high pressure steamer,
Ohe pressure OF which was low, however, in
comparison with their own head Of steam,) and
sBiled down the harbor to old Fort Moultrie,
which they expected to enter and have time.
But it seems that Uncle Sans agents were not
willing that the ancient honors of that spot should
be sullied by the breath of treason, and its halls
desecrated by the tramp of traitors. They accor-
dinghy were compelled to fit up a tent outside,
where the crowd collected, and chose president,
vice presidents, and such other officers as were
thought necessary TO give dignity and eclat to
the occasion. Toasts of fire, and speeches of
treason, were now the order of the day. But
one flag waved over the scene. That was the
PALMETTO, he State emblem of South Carolina,
adorned with but solitary star. Among the
toasts were the following:
Seperate STATE SeceSSion.-The only possible
road to Southern indie pendence.
The Memory of John c.. Caltoun.---He
fought the good fight of Southern Rights, and
he died with his armor on. Drunk in solemn
silence
The State Of South Carolina--The time
has now arrived when it becomes her TO throw
OFT the shackles of an oppressive and tyranncaI
government.
The Southern States-O One in interest and
one in institutions they must be one in govern
m'nt, or be ensaved and DESTROYED.
The Governor Of The Stale.-We know our
man.
John A. Qmilman.--The first President of
the Southern Republic. In all the illustrous
line that will follow him, there never will be
found clearer head nor a Drawer heart
Then comes the following:
South CarolnG-She offers Cancellation to
her friends, defiance TO her foes
Mr.. X. w. Davis, oneof the Vice Presidents
gave:
South Carolina.-Sbe cannot submit to sink
into degraded province of a consolidated des-
P"tlsm-but will retain her sovereignty by seces-
sion.
Mr.. l.. A. Edmondston, Vice President, Of
fered the following sentiment:

the future.
VIM. Middleton, Esq, one of the Vice Pres.
idents of the day, gave;
The State Of South Carolina.-Her patiencc

verge OF ruin; she has but TO exert little moro
to ensure her utter annihilation.
The following are some Of the volunteer
toasts:
