Public Dlnner given In honor Of General
Daniel Wallace,

On Wednesday, the 9th Of August, large
and respectable concourse of The citizens of this
and the adjoining districts, assembled at Spartan
burg, to participate in the hospitalilies and pro-
ceedings of the occasion.
T. meeting was no called for party purpos
eg--all Ia-ties were alike invited TO attend and
partake of a complimentary dinner, rendered to
our immediate representative, as testimonial
of their high appreciation Of his public services
On motion Of DR.. J. Winsmth, Hon, Gabriel
Cannon was called to the chair, and p. M Wal
lace requested To act secretary. Mr. Cannon
explained the objects and design Of the meeting
after which, Gen. Wallace was conducted TO the
stand, by DR.. Winsmith. After the reading OF
the letters received from sundry distinguished
gentlemen, who had been invited TO attend
Gen. Wallace arose amidst loud applause, and
addressed the audience for nearly two hours, ia
speech, replete with sound argument, senrch-
ing analysis, and the cearest and most convnc-
| ing deduction. He advocates secession as the
| only means of saving the Southern country, its
liberties and Institutions.
! After the address, the audience were Informed
| by Gen b. Foster, that dinner was prepared
at little distance in the grove, where they were
invited to assemble There was indeed super
abundant supply of excellent Barbecue fare
! After dinner, the audience re-assembled, wher
the toasts were read and in some in iances re
sponded to. The meeting then adjourned il

DEAR Sir: | regret that business visit TO
Charleston will prevent my attending the public
dinner TO be given to the Hon Daniel Wallace,
at Spartanburg G. H., on the 9th inst Your
kind note Of invitation reached me at the mo-
ment of my leaving Laurens.
But my heart will be with you on that occa-
sion, not only in your elimination of resist
aDce, but in your respect and devotion for your
high.spirted representative in Congress. He
is one of the few who have brenthed the "pest-
ilenta air" of Washington, whose opinions
and impulses we can approve orcordally follow
| can but look upon the scheme of co-opera-
ton as plan of practical submission for the
wrongs of the past and present, and well de-
vised cover to the retreat Of the State from her
purpose to secure, at all hazards, to her citizens
" indemnity for the past and security Tor the flu
ture." But it is to be hoped that the determi-
nation to resist in some effective mode, be il by
single or joint action, and as soon possible,
vi ch both parties now avow to be their wish
Rad am will yet bring these really in favor of
FACTION and opposed to submission in any guise,
into harmonious effort Such a happy result
will be basis upon which the convention could
finally stand, in avoiding all that is rash, and eff
fecting all that is practical and necessary.
Yours, most respectfully,
JOHN CUNNINGHAM.

"THE ELscrIoSs.--The following are the
reported unofficial returns, so far as received
The compromises have carried the following

The returns will show falling off of about
10000 in the popular vote"
We infer from these returns, that the sub.

And we suppose we shall have repetition in
her convention of the palaver in the Georgia
convention of last October II appears that in
Mississippi, as in Georgia. the vote was small
Hence the number of the wavering is large ; and
hence we infer, as in Georgia. a much larger
vote in the next election for the resistance party
But we shall not be sanguine. 1t is true that
Northern aggression will continue, and be ag-
gravated by these recent symptoms of abjeci
submission in the South. But no opportunity
will speedily occur for another such gross and
fragrant outrage as the seizure of California
and the bully brbing of Texas.
However, we suppose now, that disunon is in
evitabe. But it will be accomplished some day
by popular passion on sc me trivial incident
The Irish have endured religious intolerance
political prescription, grinding taxes, and starva-

GEYTLEMEN:-l have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt, by the last mall of your favor
Of the 9th inst, post-marked the 18th, inviting
me to attend public dinner to be given on the
9th inst, by the citizens of Spartanburg, to the
Hon. Daniel Wallace, g as an expression Of their
hearty approval of his political course"
Nothing, assure you, gentlemen, would give
me greater pleasure than to partake With you in
this festival, to be given in honor of one whose
purity as man, and whose stern fidelity as a
representative, no one appreciates more highly
than ] do But regret to say that causes en-
tirely beyond my control, put it out of my
power to accept your kind and flattering invita-
ton.
The present condition of our public affairs is
well calculated to excite our deepest solicitude.
South Carolina needs now more than at any pc
iod of her past history, the calm, deliberate, and
sincere counsels of all her sons. The questions
now under discussion are too grave for passion,
too elevated for rdcule, too domestic for dis
cord. l. ct us discuss them, then, with the spirit
Of freemen, bat with the forbearance of brethren.
We are all pledged by our allegiance to the
State, by our respect for the laws and institu-
tons under which we live, TO abide the verdict
of that high tribunal which has been called into
being by the sovereign voice Of the people them
selves, finally to dec,le these momentous ques-
tons, and {" to take care that the State receives
no detriment"
III that body, our constitutional convention is
to decide the questions with enlightened wisdom
and intelligent judgment, surely it becomes us
so to conduct the "high argument" in which we
are engaged, as to deliver it into their hands not
clouded by Misrepresentation nor obscured by
false issues, but hewn of all of its excrescences
and chselled down to its due and fair proper
tons by reason, truth, and wisdom.
When thus delivered to them we may be as
sured the argument will be taken up in the same
temper and spirit, and conducted to final de-
csion with a dignity worthy of our ancient
fame, and an imposing authority which allI must
obey aoiflout appeal
My views, gentlemen, of the course which it
becomes the State to pursue are well known to
the public. | have seen no cause TO change
them, but muchIto confirm and strengthen them.
will not trespass on you by repeating them
here, but will only add that as do not under
stand what resistance to the future to that which
has not yet and may neuer haT pen, signifies,
solemnly believe the only issue for us to decide
is submission to the past or sePerate STATE &C.

Mr.. CObb,s Position.

Inc following from the LOUISVILLE Democrat
the leading Democratic paper of Kentucky, CO.
incides with the views we expressed on the let
ter of Mr.. CoBB to the Macon committee
In Georgia an animated political contest is
going on between the Union and State rights
parties. Whigery and democracy are adjourned
over at present for graver controversy. Nc
Donald is the candidate for governor, supported
by the State rights party, and Howell Cobb is
the candidate of the Union party for the same
office. We have watched the contest with some
interest, until the issue has become in our
Judgment, mere abstraction upon the right of
a State to secede from the Union. Mcdonald
holds the right Of secession, and zealousIy de-
tends it. On the other hand Cobb denies the
right altogether it absurd and pre-
posterOus.
SO far, the difference might appear very plain
and practical between these two gentlemen and
their parties; but this difference gradually van
shes away as We examine explanations and
notifications Mcdonald don't propose that
Georgia shall exercise this right for anything
past. 1t is only part of his theory of govern
ment-this right of secession-and is reserved
as a remedy for evils that may hereafter become
insupportable.
Since Cobb denies the right of secession,
what would he do should a State resolve to Sc
cede He repudiaes the use of force to com
pei State to remain in the Union he does n t
think man could commit treason by obeying
the laws of his State against the laws of the
federal government he would not call out the
militia upon the requisition of the President to
suppress the exercise of the right of secession
of State. Should a question of the sort arise
he would submit il to State convention, and
be governed by their action.
Now, Mr.. G. may deny the right of secession
in terms, nd think he does so in fact but to
our mind he fully admits the right which he, in
words, denies. That is legal right agains,
which there is no remedy provided If State
chooses to secede, she will do so, and, accord
| ing to Mr.. Cobb, force is not to be employed tc
prevent her action. Against secession, then
there is no remedy provided, or to be provided
according to Mr.. Cobb, and therefore State

We regret that the absence of our associate
