the following high compliment to Col. NANCY
GREGG, whose minority report from the conven-
ton committee We Published some days since.
Col GREGG, it will be recollected, is the same
gentleman whose caustic letter. in response to
Gen. FooTE's abusive onslaught in the Senate,
created such sensation at the time. lie has
been very active and conspicuous throughout
the whole secession movement The Advertiser
says:
COLONEL MAxcY GREGG.-We observe that
| this gentleman, who one of the committee
| of TIVE MY one appointed by the presidcntof our
late convention to prepare measures for that
body's consideration, has made report for him
self as member of that committee. The SEN
timents of this paper are dguified and high
toned Col. g. does not dissent from the report
of the committee, but considers il incomplete
towards resisting the encroachments of ouI
Northern opponents. And he wished it left
upon the records of the convention that suc
were his views of our duty and true policy
But being convinced that there was no possibil
ity Of any such course being sustained, he had
nothing to recommend. Col. G. eventually voted
for the resolution and ordinance which we
have embodied in another article.
II is but just praise to Say that Col. Gregg
has, throughout this controversy, proved him
self to be a consistent statesman, All unflinching
patriot, and an upright politician. And South
Carolina will yet honor him for his worth and
ability.

@ We publish this morning letter from

fining his own position and his views of the
policy proposed to be pursued by the Southern
Wings.
1t appeared in the Republic and Union yes
terday, with characteristic comments in eact.
Neither the fippant impertinences of the former,
nor the sudden sycophancy of the latter, can
cause Mr.. CLIKGMAN to swerve hairs breadth
from what he regards as right. He is not the
man to be browbeaten by the head, or cajoled
by the caudal extremity of the coalition.

SECEssIONIST.
To the general charge, we have only to mako
q fiat denial. So far from being unfrendly
to those associations, our feeling is just the
contrary. With reference to the particular
instance, the quotation from our correspon-
dent Mr.. PAULDtNG, we do not recollect
when and where it occurred, as we do not deem
it necessary to supervise his contributions.
We cannot believe, however, that he meant
to convey the offensive idea imputed to him, for
he is wise man, and temperate in all things"
Again, then, we repeat that this assault from
such quarter at this time, whatever its motive
may be, is equally injurious and unjust. De-
nounced, derided, and reviled for our unAinch-
ing adherence to those great constitutional
principles, Of which South Carolina has ever
been the champion, We we'll might exclaim at
such an assault

But we do not believe that the querulous and
illiberal complaint we have noticed, will find
single echo in the hearts of that heightened and
generous people. If 1t does, we have mistaken
them more than they have mistaken US. Will
the Journal make US the amende by republish

safety to its haven. But within that
small dark speck upon the ocean, tho
generous hearts and kindly hands
were in it, there also was the pesti-

the crew were seized with the yellow

citizens before her admission into the Union,
under the disguise of custom house dues or

in the history of our government, unless it
shall hereafter be found in the adoption of
q proposition into the Senate of the United

the democracy of California, to rob the bona
iide lawful owner of his lands under the
pretence of law, until the validity and justice
Of his title is confirmed.

the speedy development of her agricultural
