HUcH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
II IL designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are VVginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow-citzens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, nom choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;-thnt it has been
warm unremitting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views. They, at least,
know it to be impossible.

H The Baltimore Sun opposes PROPOSE
ton made in the Maryland Convention prohibit
ing future legislatures from interfering with the
rights and relations of master and slave The
Sun thinks that such prohibition would in
terfere with the inalienable rights of the PEG
pie"
Now, the inalienable rights of the people to
pass laws by their representatives, does not ex-
tent to the right Of property, or to domestic rea-
tons.
We took occasion some time ago, to repudi-
ate the assumption. The right or power of the
people in convention or Legislature, is political
merely; and is limited to the protection Of ex-
listing institutions of property and society-and
cannot change or overthrow them. Otherwise
every legislature or convention that assemblies
may exercise unlimited power over property,
marriage and religion and as conventions are
created by vote Of the majority-the majority
Is thus ABSOLUTE government differing from
that Of Russia only in the number of despots.

of far different character from any with
which she can be e'charged towards them. So
vereigns are equals. In seeding alone, South
Carolina would be placing her sister States of
the South, under no constraints. If they should
find themselves in a positon Of constraint, it
would come from the action Of the Federal
Government, not OF South Carolina. But if
they should insist upon her retraining from the
exercise of her right, and submitting to a con-
dition which she regards as intolerable, they
would make themselves parties with the Fede-
ral Government, IN placing an unjustiiablc
constranst upon sovereign and an equal.
We wish that the necessity for separate ac-
ton by South Carolina, which we have con-
templated, may be averted. We confde in the
gallant spirits whom we address. There may
some hope Of the assembling of a Southern
Congress, to devise measures of redress and
relief upon which some Of the injured States
may unite. We have heretofore been will
ling to sacrifice much for Southern Union. We
still are We do not desire to lead, but to follow.
Propose any effectual measures for vindicating
our common rights, and providing for our COM
mon safety, and we will heartily unite with you
in carrying them out We should regret most
deeply to incurt the censure of friends, with whom
we have the strongest desire to act in concert
But we feel deep conviction that we have
not acted heretofore with any precipitation, and
that we are in the right in the determination
which we have formed. The self.abasement
of submission, appears to US unworthy of men
still pretending to be free. The gloomy pros
pect of inevitable ruin, to follow submission,
appears to US more formidable than any dangers
to be encountered in contending alone, against
whatever odds, for our rights. We have come
to the deliberate conclusion, that if it be our
fate to be left alone in the struggle, alone we
must vindicate ourliberty by secession.
Mr.. Gregg stated that the Committee would
report upon the other matters referred to them,
and especially in reference to the more perfect
organization of the Southern Rights Associa-
tions, tomorrow.

CHARLESTON, May 7, 1851.
DEAR JOURNAL: telegraphed you on Monday
night last, which perceive reached its destina-
ton for one of the "seven wonders;' as we have
been peculiarly unfortunate in Camden, in regard
to despatch for some time past, it may be regarded
as quite fortunate. The City is crowded, as may
be supposed, from the very large number of dele
gates and strangers in attendance.
Whilst am writing, the crowd is buzzing about
me like so many bees, and if this letter should
present somewhat incoherent or disconnected
appearance, it may be easily accounted for, when
the circumstances are known. save you on
Monday. brief outline of the organization of the
Convention, which will prove much more i'm
portant one, than was at first imagined. In the
city papers the proceedings may be found, which
hope may be condensed and published in the
Journal. The Report of the Committee of 2l'
has given rise to some Of the ablest and best
speeches that have ever heard upon this excl
ting and all absorbing question. The spirit is
very strong in favor Of Secession and separate
State Action. There are now, about 450 Dele
gates in the Convention, and it is fair presunp-
ton, we think, that three-fourths, are in favor
OF SEPARATE STATE ACTION. The speeches on
"Wednesday, were able and powerful. Co' Max
cey Gregg, Chairman Of the Committee OF II, ad-
vocated the Resolutions and Address, by Short
but able speech. The Hon. A. P. Butler, spoke
against Separate State Action, but expressed his
unvielding determination, to adhere TO South Ca
rolina, under all circumstances, with or without
cooperation. General Adams, made stirring
speech for the Separate Action men. Hon. J. L.
Orr, was opposed to it, and argued his point with
much ingenuity and ability. The Hon. w. F.
Cocock, delivered speech in the afternoon,
which was in every respect worthy of the mo-
mentous crisis, aud clearly and plainly set forth
the absolute necessity of action, and that too,
without peration--risking all hazards, in the
movement.
He was succeeded by that most excellent and
