delay To prove this, it is only necessary to state
that these reasons are almost rs various as the
minds that originated them. One apprehends war
another peace. One pictures to himself the in
siitution of slavery as the indissolublc bond OF
Southern Union-another fears that this bond will
be no protection to poor South Carolina. one
says that two States can act safely-another sug-
gcss that it will require of least three. One says
that we can never strike alone-anothcr says we
must do so, if all else fail And thus throughout,
their reasons clash, and cancel each other.

which we will venture once again to point to your
view. 1t is the path of Duty and of Honor. In
it, there is no perplexity. Those who pursue it,
are rexed with no grating contradictions. But
one feeling nnimates them all. 1t is the self-same
feeling which influenced your grandfathers in the
war of the Revolution. 1t is q feeling OF strong
determination to decide at once the question OF
our Freedom as State and Of our Rights as indi-
viduals. And tie foundation of this feeling is the
conviction that this Freedom and these Rights are
now most immincntly endangered.
Who will not say amen to the wish, that we

Mr. Editor Your comments upon our call

tise as "Public Meetng' for the interchange
Of opinions was intended as bona .Jide public
and general meeting, how can it he objected to
our specially requesting the attendance Of those
Of our way of thinking. Yours is party Press,
and general convocaion of your party is quite
sufficient, but our invitation was, of necessity,
special. You announce that speakers on Jour

improper at n general meeting for an Interchange
of opiEion-'hc example came from you. You
will not surely now pretend that anti-scccssion
speakers were included in your announcement
among the " prominent and experienced gentle

our friends to appear at this Public Meeting"
and that we may also have speakers to represent
our views, we are charged with " illtimed de-

anti-scccssionists invited to this Public Meet

have been bcguilcd into error. We trust that
you will not be offended at our believing you
more ingenious than you now present yourself.

and to1nakc the meeting in reality what it pur-

and "pain explanation" This you cons:ruc
into "un'urlpg tho black flag" of dissension.-

having one sided "Public Meetings." but the
instant those of us who dissent from your polit-
cal doctrines, express desire also to be heard,
we are then charged with design to place Old
Edgcfeld in leading strings" You have no
doubt read the fable about the Farmer, the law
yer and the Ox.-Real It again.
We still desire a full attendance of anti-scccs-

we are interested as well as the scccssionists.

MASONIC MISCELLANY.

THIS excellent Monthly is again upon our table
with its usual attractions We notice in ii an in
teresting though somewhat abstruse article upon
the &C. Jewish Cabbala."
We also observe the following extract:
"SEcREcY OF THE Observation-Disclosures

respect to the Eleusinian mysteries, upon hearing
a cause between two priests of Ceres in which some
secrets were necessary to be mentioned, dismissed

and all the audience, that he might hear the mat
ter in private and without discovering any secrets
relating to these mysteries TO the common people.
Arc we to understand that the Masons claim any
kindred with the ancient Priests Of Eleusis' Or
is this published in 4 Masonic work merely as all
analogous illustration of the respect which mystc-
ries generally inspire
From another article we pluck the following
striking aphorism.
"As the mos. healthy and vigorous constitution
does not escape the pestlence, the most virtu-
ous and upright mind may, ere aware that it is
breathing the malaria, be contaminated by the at
mosphcrc of vice"

CnTTnN PROSPECT.

In notice of the crops last week. we observed
that cotton was very promising. We have since
learned enough to warrant us in saying that the
appearances of fine crop really extraordinary.
In this immediate neighborhood, Col. F. w. PICK
EMS and AvoRY BLAND, Esq, two Of the largest
planters in this section, have such crops as they
never had before. The plant is at the same time
large and well boiled. We hear similar accounts
from all quarters. ssWhat pity we said as we
gazed upon one of these beautiful fields. ssWhat
pity it is for us that we concluded last March to
plant almost all corn!"
Perhaps we were wrong in speaking thus. The

success, with individuals as well as States

Mn. EDITOR II notice call, in your paper,
for meeting of the citizens of the district, on
Sale day next, for the purpose of discussing the
political questions of the day. Another call, I
perceive, is made by "MANY ANTS SEcEssIoN-
Isrs," who, suppose, think that their party is
not invited by the general call. From the above,
it is apparent that our District, which has here
toforc been almost unanimous on all of the inn
portant questions which havebeen agitated for a
number of years past, is now divided into three
parties, viz:
lst, The party who arc for Secession by the
cooperation of one or more States, if attainable,
if not secession "at all hazards"
2nd, The party who are infavor of secession
by the cooperation Of one ormore States.

Between the two first named parties their can
not be much difference; both acknowledge the
aggrcssions Of the General. Government and
both are for resistance, and:if warm discussions
do sometimes arise betweenthe two parties, they
arc in the cnd obliged to bc-one, for neither are
in favor of submission. hope, therefore, when
we meet on Sale day, the question will be pru-

THE NOTICE OF MANY ANT-sECESSIOEISTS

MANY took up the impression, as we first suppo-
scd in our remarks of last week, that this notice
meant call of particularly described individuals
for the special purpose of separate and distinct
meeting. We merely gave it as supposiuon,
which, in the after part Of our remarks, We ex-
prcssly abnegated, in favor of the view that pub
lie discussion and trial of strength was intended.
Since then, the only person we kno'D to be con-
nected with this business, has said to us emphatl-
cally that he uas and is in favor OF separate
meeting. HoD are ere TO understand hts we
must draw our inferences from what we know
not from the assurances of unknown persons. we
should judge the play by what we see acted upon
the boards-not by the wire-workIng oehand me
scenes. If this be not the full measure of editorial
fairness, we do not understand it. When deed Is
not done openly and abovc-board, it is natual to
suspect that something is on foot which calls for
watchful scrutiny. And to receive every item,
connected with such deed, with caution, is our
duty.
