The Northern Gold Mines.--The Hallowell GA
zette of the 7th inst has some further items in re-
gard to the recent discoveries of gold mines in
Maine. That paper says there is no doubt that
gold may be obtained in large quantities IN the
northern part of Maine, in the streams that empty
into the Chaudiere and the Penobscot Individuals
are getting from $40, to $40 day. Kumors are
prevalent, and uncontradicted Of from $oO to $9OU
being taken out in one day. 1t is estimated that
two thousand men are now on their way to the
diesinQs, many coming from Boston and New
York. A lump of gold weighing ~ was exhibited
in WaterviIle last week, which was found on the
Maine side Of the boundary. OF the situation oi
the mines, and the facilities for reaching them the
Gazette says:
at is only about 125 miles to the mines. The
best route is to 20 straight up the kennebec to
the Forks, taking the Canada road, which Is
smooth and well travelled road. Thence proceed
on the same road to the height Of land or boundary
between Maine and Canada. You are then righl

It's branches lying on the west, and the Penobsco

and east. The facilities Of travel from Boston t
this place, by steamboat and railroad, are abundant
On the Canada road, about ten miles this side o
the line, a public house has been bnlt for the ac
commodation of miners. 1t was erected this spring
BY Mr.. Butman, and is called the Miners House
/ The country on the Chaudere River is rather pop
ulous, the inhabitants being principally kannucker
or French Canadians" ,s
The Maine Farmer says:
aThere is quite an excitement in Somerse
county, in consequence of the alleged discovery Q
gold inthe northern borders Of that county, and
the adjacent portions Of Canada the rivers Chan

Co-ope, alton Platform.

The following r, sout, MS were adopted as tie
Platform OF the Cooperation party, at meeting
held in Columbia on Thursday last. We copy
from the Charleston Courier of yesterday.
At meeting of the Cooperation party,
held at Columbia, on the evening of the 2!th
inst, the Hon. Lansdon Cheves, Hon. X. W.
Barnwell, Chancellor Johnson, Col. Jas Ches.
nut, Jr., Col. +. n. Dawkins, A. P. Aldrich and
the Hon. John Townsend, who at a previous
meeting, had been appointed Committee to
report matters Tor the action Of the meeting
submitted the following Preamble and Resolu-
tons, which were adopted:
The Committee of seven beg leave to Report,
That in the present aspect of affairs, they
deem it inexpedient to do more than to indicate
BY few simple resolutions, the Platform upon
which, according to their jud gment, the people
of South Carolina have placed themselves by
the recent election.
Reso7red, That we regard the State as hav-
ing decided, that whilst the right Of seeding is
fundamental and indisputahle, the exercise of it
bv single State, without well grounded assu.
rance of the concurrence and support of other
States, is not the appropriate remedy for exiS-
ting grievances nor the sufficient safeguard
against those which menace US in the future,
and that any attempt either directly or indi-
rectly to accomplish this purpose would be
in contravention of the clear declaration Of the
public will.
Resolrpd, That we regard the State as hav-
inc decided that concert Of action among the
slaveholding States, or sufficient number of
theta, to make their action effectual, is as es.
sential to remedy existi%g evils, and to protect
themselves against those which lmpend over
them. and that CO operation among them for
these purposes ought to be earnestly sought at
ter and promoted. 49,,
Resolred, That the State maintains deep,
and Indignant sense of the grievances and dan
gers which orpress and assail her, and ,perse
veres in her determination to remove and avers<
them, so soon as the cooperation of other slave
noldng Stares shall give to her action efflc'ency
and render her security permanent
Resolrcd, That we regard these declarations
of the public will as having taken away the
causes which separated those who advocated
separate secession from those who advocated
cooperation, aod that we shall feel sincere
satisfaction should they now unite in pursuing

Columbia--Legislature etc.

We have little TO notice, worthy Of particular
comment 50 far, a. having taken place Ill Column
ba The first week Of the session OF the LeglS-
Iaure is never very interesng-ihe ordinary
rourirr. OF business is commonly prop"s d in sort
Of matter Of course mahncr, and no one appears
particularly interested one way or the Other rX-
ccpt such as attend who are candidates, or hav-
ing claims of ppcuniary nature % b. looked al
ter. We believe however, that ,Jlslderabe bu-
sinrss has been despatched. through the energy
OF the Speaker of tIr House, Mr.. Smons, who is
said to b. quite business man, and all admlra'
blr presiding officer.
Elections for Commissioners in Equity for seve-
raj Districts have been held. Mr.. Wm. II R.
Workman was elected for Kershaw, in place OF
VIM. NJ. Shannon, Esq, who declined re-eec-
lion. Mr.. Shannon has filled this responsible
position for some years, and TO the entire satl>ac-
ton OF all W % have had any business in this de-
partnrnt of the law. Mr.. Workman Will, we
have no doubt, discharge all the duties OF the Of
flee in manner that will give universal satIsac-
ton.
Bul little has occurred thus far, TO deveIope the
political state of things in the Legislature 1t is
fair presumption however, that few caucus
meetings will show us sights, and We may rea-
snnaby expect that in The discussions which are
likely to occur during this and the following
weeks, mar of words (nolI'ing more0 will break
out. Should this prove the case, we have sort
of desire to hear what will be said. We think the
whole English language has already been eNhaus-
ted in porlraying our Federal wrongs, and prov'-
ding ways and means Tor redres>ing them. (on

Whereas, The people of South Carolina i'll
the recent election fordclegatcs to the proposed
Southern Congress, have by Il very large ma
| iority decided that it is inexpedieiit for South
Carolina to scccde from the Union, or to take
any action looking to that end upon our past
issues with the Federal Government.
Therefore. be- il resolved, That while we do
not consider the right of secession to be an
open question, and willie we are determined to
maintain it whenever the people of this State
shall demand its exercise, yet We hold that the
recent decision Of the people should be acquies
ced in, without appeal to any other tribunal Oh
attempt to destroy it.

which seeks to elevate man, and to place him
where it was intended he should stand-above the
se6shness of depraved human nature-high on
the ground of morals in his social, religious and
political character. We have yet to see or learn
that there is any good or reasonable grounds why
this cause should not prosper, before we can be
induced to sever our connection with it. We
earnestly wish it great success

"The Northern ma jouty of the Methodist
church, by its tyrannical interu.eddiing with
the domestic slavery Of its Southern brethren,
compelled them into division of the comn"c.

every dollar of the common property. About
this arose law suit, which, as the rraler
knows, has been decided in favor or the South
