PUBLIC MEETING IN CHARLEsTO-

Pursuant to previous notice,a meeting of citi-
zens was convened last evening at the City Hall,
to take into consideration the importance to the
city of the proposed Rail Road through the Rabun
Gap, and to adopt such measures as will promote
the early commencement and speedy completion
of the enterprise.
On motion of Col. A. o. Andrews the Mnvor
was called to the Chair; and on motion of Geo.
A. Trenholm, Esq, the former gentleman was
requested to act Secretary.
The Mayor, on taking the Chair, explained to
the audience in few remarks the object of the
call
George A. Treholm, ESQ.,, then came for
ward and addressed the meeting at some length
in very lucid and able manner on the subject
under consideration, and showed, we think, con-
cluslvely, the vast importance of the enterprise
on the future prosperity of our ancient city In
conclusion he offered the subjoined preamble and
resolution, for the action of the meeting:
Whereas, The Rail Road proposed to be con-
structed through the Rabun Gap, to connect the
Rail Roads OF North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, and other Western States with those of
South Carolina, Is work, the importance of which
is fully recognized by the people of this State in
common with their fellow citizens of the West,
and the citizens of Charleston fully recognizing
the responsibility which deyolves upon them in
promoting the early construction of this work. do

to aid literally and eectually in the construction
OF the Blue Ridge Rail Road, and the members
OF the City Council are hereby requested to make
such subscriptions as the means and character Of
the City will justify, and the citizens of Char
lesion, will cheerfuily sustain them in the impo-
sition OF such taxation as may be necessary to eff
| feet such subscription.
The above preamble and resolution having been
read by the Chairman, E. B. White, Esq, offered

Merico-An expected Rerolution.-Captain
Smell, who has just arrived at New York from
Tampico, states that revolutionary outbreak was
momentarily expectedby the people, partly on ac-
count OF the non payment of the government troops
and partly in consequence of the great disadyan-
tages arising from the port regulations latterly es
tablishedby government; the tariff of duties being
fifty per cent higherat that place than at Mata
moras There were no vessels in that port at the
time OF sailing, and although it is one of the best
places iortlade on the coast, so disastrous had
been the unequal regulations to the mercantile in
terests that arrivals We're very few indeed.
Capt S. was also informed by Mr.. Chase, the
American Consul, that the fiscal affairs of the ma
ton were in very deranged and deterorated con-
dltlon, and that at Tampco, in particular, the
people were in constant ferment, in consequence
OF the general NAL administration of the govern
mental concerns. From these circumstances, it
IS supposed that the present high rae of duties
had been imposed at Tampico, the most favorable
place of trade, with the hope Of building up, in
same measures, if possible, the fortunes of those
in power. Three or four days previous, body of
troops, numbering 500 strong, had embarked for
Matamoras, probably to quell some fllibuster:ng
expedition.

portanes that had ot theretofore attached TO it.
The assumption of the Chuir was met by instant
| remonstrance. The right to present the resolu-
| ton was pressed now as point of principle, and
notice given that at the next meeting it would
be insisted upon On this issue the meeting was
adjourned to the goth day of April.
At the appointed hour, on the evening of the
Goth of April, the Hon. w. p. Mangnm called
the meeting to order. SO soon as the Journal
was read, Hon. Edward Stanly, of North Carroll
ma, offered the following resolution:
Resolved That it be recommended to hold the Wing
National Convention in the city of Baltimore in the State
of Maryland Wednesday, the 10th day of June next
for the purpose candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States"
Mr. Marshall of kentucky, Immediately pre-
sented the resolution of which notice had been
given at the former meeting, and asked that it
might be adopted as a substitute for the PROPOSE
ton Of the gentleman from North Carolina 1t is
in those words:
wv hsreas, the determination of the time and place for
holding National Wing Convention has been refer
red to the Wings of Congress- the Wing members of the
Senate and House of Representatives having assembled
In Convention with the explicit understanding that they
re ard the series ofacs known the Adjustment meas
ures as forming in their mutual dependence and xon
system OF compromise the concatory the best
tor the entire country that could be obtained from conc
ting sectional interests and opinions and that therefore
they ought to be adhered to and carried in faithful
cutlon, as final settlement in principle and substance
OF the dangerous and exciting subjects which they EN-
prace ana 90 unite ON TINS OASIS well the long
established principles Of the Wing party do hereby re-
commend the day of and the city OF
as the time and place for holding the National Wing
Convention for the choice of Wing candidates for the Pre-
sidency and Vice Presidency respectively"
MIR. Stany objected to the introduction of the
substitute, because 1t was out of order. The
Chairman sustained the objection. Mr. Marshall
appealed from the decision of the chair Mr. Stan
~ moved that the appeal do lie on the table. An
informal debate ensued, which was cut off by the
decision of the Chair, that all discussion was out
OF order unless strictly confined to the question of
order. The vote was then taken by ayes and
noes on the question, sSha the appeal from the
decision Of the Chair lie the tablet! and it was
decided in the affirmative-ayes 46, noes 21. The
following will exhibit the names of the gentlemen
who voted and their respective localities:

THE PUBLIC LANDs-sTATE DEBT.

We clip the subjoined just and sensible remarks
from the Lexington (Va.) Gazette. We are glad
TO see our friends in the interior taking up the
question of the public lands and discussing it ia
connection with the subject of State taxes. We
hope they will persevere in this course and spare
no opportunity of impressing their views on the
public mind and of contrasting Wing with Dem

But droll to tell, these chaps are madden
than ever with the fre-caters. If they we're
chaicd because We disagreed with them, they
are right down furious because we now agree
with them. They are the funniest people
we ever did see. They ridiculc and abuse
us, jlbe aud tauut, and grin and suigge all
the grimaccs Of all the monkey tribes, aud
all the growls and sulks of Ilircanian bears
and tigers are put into practice TO deter Sou
thern Rights men froul admitting that The

mcausa week wish (~ticking cut q foot) TO
monopolize all the glory Of saving the I'm
ion, and most philautropie purpose to keep
down thetruly Southern and Union party
the Southern Rights party-to keep it sunk
under the .odium Of an unpopular and false
name. 1t means that the false humbug, that
the Southern Rights party was Disunion
party per 81, is to maintain Its vitality vet
longer, for coalition purposes, and in order
that wliggcry may yet Il while keep its clov-
On foot firmly fixed on the neck of down

Now we are not disposed to indulge these
hyp'critcs in any such amiable Intentions
We are going to act on things as We find
them We are going to lie on the political
bed chat the people of the South, under the
false guidance of unionists have spread for
us. Ncwattion and new parties spring nat
urally, from new political crises. The I'm
ION victory has been so very decisive that it
has left nodoubt about past issues. For the
future, we do not ask Constitutional Union
ism to indicate our course.
We take our stand in spite of its lamenta-
tons and in unminglcd' contempt for its

room the Declaration of Independence was
made and the FIRST step taken By the colonies

Kossuth replied in few words, and said
that the words spoken and the acts declared
lin that hall were present to his mind, when,
in his native land, he sought to do the same
for his people The history of the United
State had inspired his people, and the reason
they had not succeeded was not because they
were not less resolved, but because they were
BETRAYED and oyerpawered.
Kossuth further referred to the various
events of the revolution IN this country and
her present proud position, and fcclingly
thanked the Mayor and authorities for their
kindly welcome.
A grand Corporation dinner will be given

He was then introduced to the corporate
authorities and afterwards conducted to a
covered platform independence Square,
which was tastefnlly hung with American
and Hungarian flags, and decorated with ev-
ergreens.
Kossuth was then welcomed BY the enthu-
siastic shouts of thousands who had assent
bled to meet him, when he proceeded to adj
dress them in brief terms. bat the confusion
was so great that nothing could be heard a
few yards distance from the speaker At
ter he had concluded he was escorted to his
lodgings
Kossuth will spend Tomorrow in.quiet-
A grand toreh-light procession will be given
in his honor tomorrow night.

ing, was a most brilliant affair, upwards of
two hundred persons sitting down to the Ia
bic prepared in the dining-room of the t. s.
Hotel
Kossuth did not appear until late hour,
apologising briefly for his absence.
Gen. Riley replied briefly to the assertion
that the army was opposed to the views of
kossuth, and was received with great enthu-
siasm
Judge Kane spoke at length in behalf of
the bench and bar, in an out-and-out speech
in favor of national Intervention in European
struggles for liberty
Morton M.AIichael, ESQ, for the press,
took the opposite ground, in a neat and ap-I
propriatc speech
Several other speeches were made, amid
much confusion and collision of telling
Some of the speakers were greeted with hiss
es. kossuth remained a silent listener.
