the grcvous wrongs which had been perpctraled
against us by the infamous government at Wash
ngton. Our Senators and members of Congress
lid those who went before us. lesser act of injus
tice had once been met by notification. A far
more unreasonable and heinous one as we thought
called for more effcctual and decided step, and
accordingly our patriotic Legislature set on foot
the elevated and constitutional step of secession.
A majority of the State at once approved this poll
cy. But party springs up nearly six months after
date headed by certain set of talented and spirit
ed old men, who go to the opposite extreme at one
jump, and tell us we are madmen, political inebr-
ates, dclirious enthusiasts. Volatile young men
are not lacking to join the ranks Of the new party
and after n long interval, demonstrations are
made in Charleston, Marlboro and one or two
other places and new banner is flung to the
brccze-a non-dcscript. cooperation banner with
no single motto distinctly and fully emblazoned
upon it, but several half developed ones. And we
are begged to desert the good old Palmetto flag,
with its strkingly Independent motto, under which
we had ranged ourselves for the contest; and we

says no more!! Gentlemen of the cooperation
line Of operation than this, the action men can
never meet you on common ground. And, though
il may please you to look upon our refusal TO do so
rs perverseness, yet we are willing to stand upon
this issue before the tribunal of posterity.
But we have extended these remarks beyond
the proper limits. We conclude by submitting TO
our friends. who are now exering themselves to
distract the State, tile following propositions:
Whether the action party was not the first in the
field Whether their course is not entirely con-
sonant with the past history Of South Carolina!
Whether their policy has not gone forth to the
world the dominant policy of the State !!
Whether they have nnt been the attacked party!
Whether 1t is easier for them now to retreat than
for the co-operationists to advance? Whether
union at home is not of greater importance than
cooperation from abroad! Whether the anti.ac-
tonists arc not forgetting the former in their over
weening desire for the latter! Whether it is not
better to take course which cannot lead to sub
mission, than one which In all probability wiu?
Whether it be not the dangers of separate action
which deter our opponents from embracing it!
Whether these dangers are not purely hypothcti-
cal! Whether freemcn should be frightened from
the preservation Of their Liberties by hypothescs
Whether, in fine, it is not easier, more rational
and more Carolinian for the co-operuiionists to
raise the shout and "ADvAHcE TO TIE 'FRONT.'"
than for the actionists to wlimpcr out their recan
tation and meanly retreat to the rear!

JOHN RUTLEDGE."

WE perceive this name at the head of the late
cooperation meeting hedin Charleston. Several
persons have asked us the qucstion.-"Who is this
JOHN RUTLEDGE!" And to be candid we must
acknowledge that it was out of our power to salts
fy them with the proper answer. We have made
enquiries of several intelligent men in vain. A
traveller. who has been in the upper districts
mentioned TO us the other day that it was subject
of wonder wherever he had been. Lawyers, Doc
tors, Merchants, Planters, Editors and even
Judges had been unable TO solve the mystery. He
himself, native Of the low-country and acqualnt-
ed, as he thought, with every man in Charleston
of any prominence, had never heard Of such per-
son as belonging to this age. Singular, that no
one should know who the President of the Great
Charleston cooperation meeting is! Very strange,
TINT so few should be aware Of the existence of
the JouS RuTLEDGE Of 81 II is great old name
truly-ah and that perhaps accounts for the
whole matter. The name is all our sagaclous
friends wanted--and, doubtless, they found it.
SHAKESPEARE asked What's in name g and
gave it as his opinion that there was nought. Ger
tain wits and statesmen Of the present age think
differently, it would seem.
JOHN RurLEDGE President of the cooperation
meeting, may however prove to be some very
worthy old man-nobody knows! We mean this
as no slur upon his merits, whatever they may be-
1t is merely an illustration of the silful tactics
with which the co-opcrationists have begun their
co.operalions.

~ ward for the apprehension of two apprentices,
one of whom, AUGUST CARL, is my stepson. Said
apprentice absconded from his eaid master in con-
sequence of treatment which should not be given
to negro slave. His frequent beating him, and
his pulling locks of hair from his head, few days
since, was the of his absconding. He bore
with his i'll treatment long he able, when
he believed the only way to get rid of his tyranny
was by abscondiug, which he put in execution.
The public can judge whether he should have any
