We are privately informed that the de.

AS tar as can be ascerta med, there is no
disposition either on the part of the ADJ
minStratlon, or Of gentlemen of political
prominence here, to interfere in the pres
ent Southern movement, except, perhaps,
in friendly spirit.
Ii Is now probable that the President
will soon issue an address or proclama ton,
as the election of Delegates to the South
Carolina Convention is TO take place at
al earlier day than was anticipated and
as IN consequence, there would not be suf
telent time for the general circulation Of
an appeal through the annual message, as
was originally contemplated.
