ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF SoUTH CAROLINA.
We publish from the Richmond Examiner
an address from citizen Of Virginia 20 the peo-
pie of South Carolina. II will be seen that the
action Of the late Charleston convention has
been quite in accordance with the suggestions
Of this writer For our own part, we had hoped
that the State would act less precipitately than
now seems TO be her fixed determination We
are vet to be convinced that she will act wisely
in closing her ears TO the counsels Of Cheeves
and Butler and Barnwell. But whatever may
be her action, we speak for ourselves and for
our readers, when we say that in her contest
against the Aboltiopists, and in her endeavors
TO defeat their fell purposes, our sympathies are
in no wise and in no part with her enemies and
ours And should there enemies dare with hos.
tile step to tread her soil, many Southern heart
will thank Corwin for his words, and pray that
she may welcome her foes with bloody hands
and hospitable ves.--Sardnnah Georgian.

of course, give the cue to the Csbinet The
reason alleged, is his anxiety to get back to
Washington; we suppose to rest himself after
the fatigues of his relaxation"

with one Of ,he clerks. She stated she was
most anxious TO know how a cause stood, in
which she was most deeply interested ,ha,
property to a considerable amour, had been
withheld from her family. The clerk, who
had been some years in the otfice, and who
was noied for bis rbanily aud gen,emanIy
bearing, politely inquired the name of the
cause. His surprise and aslonishmen, may
be conceived, when the lady replied" The
Morning Star vs.. The Old Globe."
The property in dispute was cons'dera.

seainsi Adam, and lha, MeIch zedeck was in
possession Of it, hut had not been able to fino

ed to his book, and after running his 6nger
down the page, told the inquirer, as there
might be some difficulty in Fl ding Adam, the
cause should stand ov t,iI after Easter Term
The lady, curle.yine, thanked him for his po

CORRECTION. In our issue of the 9TH instant, we
noticed that Warren Winslow, Esq, of Fayetteville,
was in the field in the Wilmington District in oppo-
without intending to do that gentleman any injustice,
or to place him in false position. We learn with
regret that it has been so construed We believed
at the time, that if a movement on foot in the
Wilmington District against Mr.. Ashe, Mr.. Winslow
was no party it, and glad to know that such
is the fact In note dated the 9Th inst, addressed
US respecting the paragraph in the Republican S'
Patriot by Mr.. Winsow, he says I" If have receiv-
ed vote in the District, it is without my knowledge,
and certainly be found to say that it was
with my consent, or at my instance Mr.. Winslow
is Democrat in whom we repose implicit confidence,

"The turn out in Burke unusually small-only
some 700 votes polled. yet Clingman's majority is
$50 or thereabouts.
Although Clingman's majority is large for so small
vote, yet it is hardly fair evidence of the popular
feeling in the County; for l assure you Col. Gather
received many votes from those opposed to him poli-
cay, but who voted for him from personal consider
atlons altogether. Besides, they satisfied it
would be no fight at all but with the personal pop
uarlty which is freely conceded to the Colonel is it
not strange that he has failed to carry his Coun-
w. And is it not stranger still that he should have

We have just heard from three precincts in Nc
