able to complete the necessary preparations.
But for the sake of harmony, should be
disposed to make some concession to the

When / say that am for immediate Stats

Carolina to secede from the Union for exist

final act of secession to be consummated

ance of the State Convention by the Lcgis-
latrc act which called it. Within this time

ions, ] should be disposed to wait n, long us
those who still cherish the hope of Southern
cooperation might desire. To this end, let the
Legislature at its next session call the con-
vention together on the first Monday in
April, May, or June, 1852. The convention
could then sit, and adjourn from time to-
time until the first Monday in April, May, or
June, 1853. as the case might be. This
would be almost two years from the present
time. In the interval, Congress will have
twice met and adjourned. would not coun-
sci this delay with the expectation or hope
that any satisfactory adjustment Of the great
issues would be made with the North through
the intervention of Congress. I believe that
no just compromise would be rendered. And
if it were, / should have no confidence in the
good faith of the North in observing tho
compact. But think that if Southern co.
operation is not effected by the spring Of
1853, then no man in South Carolina could
any longer hug to his bosom that Elusive hope
which is now a stumbling block to tho
movements of the State. We
might then show an unbrokcn front to the

The language of the following resolutions, pass.

just the kind Of talking we delight to hear; it is
true-hearted Americanism, and we trust it will
be reiterated in every section Of our country:
Whereas, Mr.. ]. .. Thrasher. a citizen O. the

been seized, carried before a Spanish military
tribunalin Havana, and without fair opportuni-
ty Of defence, and in violation of the comfy

condemned to an ignominious slavery By Span
ish authorities, acting irregnlarly; therefore,
Resolred, That the case Of Mr.. J. s. Thrash

U"Hans Yorkel' was among the first who
saw Kossuth when he arrived at Staten Island
he thus speaks Of him:
He was of good stature, pale with fatigue,
anxiety, and sea-sickness. His eyes were
bright-of blue-and kaleidoscopicaI in effect.
His hair " as thin, but his whiskers and nous
tache stout and firm. The whole expression
was Of one whose spirit was restless; whose
ambition was unbounded. There was : tinc,e
Of lanter in his %glances. Resolution elune to
the sides of his mouth. Il will" was read in
every wrinkle of his brow. chronological ex.
hibition OF benevolence was good; SELF esteem
and approbativeness were full the organs Of
language and ideality were excellent. Whss
he spoke, his voice was we'll intoned; his ges-
lures were graceful in the extreme. A suit Of
black velvet, and a hat Of black felt with as
trich feather, reflected deeper pensiveness on
his face. He seemed DESTROYS Of reading every
ones thoughts about him. Even in the cabin
he was a political calculator.
Who blames him for that? Not /, forsooth !
T0Were as absurd as to believe Napoleon's am-
bition dead when left on Elba.
