Gen. Joseph Newton whitnee.

If there is q true; firm man in the State of South
Carolina, it is his Honor Judge WuITSER. He has
long been retired from political strife, ye he has
closely observed the progress of events in this
country and in this crisis, he has spoken out plain
ly for resistance AT a public meeting held at
Kngstree, Williamsburg District, on the 9Th instant,
the Judge was called for, and spoke in substance
as follows. His sentiments need no addition from
our humble pen, but we must be allowed to endorse
their spirited meaning:
ellis Honor Judge Whitner, was next called OH,
aurT he said he felt Il common interest with all
present, and was glad to find sentiment such rs
he had found prevailing in this State. 1t was time
for energ me1pto,speak out it cheering to lock
one another in the face he would impress the fact
upon the audience that the doings of this day
would decide whether we should live as slaves Or
ms freemen His Honor also reminded the auditory
of the insignifcance; few years ago. of that par
tv which was then ridiculed as fanatics, but now
has syyeled to such an. extent as MoufaeRabe them
to put their exponent in position to- rule over
this country. He hoped the day would never come
when Lincoln should be peacefully inauguar:ed
President of these United States. Never, never |!
Our enemies North would seek to stir up a strife
between the STAKEHOLDER and the non-slayeholier
South; but they would fail in this, because there
was principle involved in the contest, as import
ant to one of these classesas the other. Thers is
something dearer even than this Union. His Hon
or said he was now far advanced in life, but,
erthcless, that he would even pledge himself to
shoulder his musket in defence Of his native State,
no matter what position she might take; and he
also said he woud;advise his. ffe-sons to do the

FROM ALABAMA.

MONTGOMERY, November 17.-The largest Coun-
ty Convention ever known in this community,
was held here in the State Capitol to-day. There
were over twelve hundred persons in attendance,
embracing men of all parties. Col. Thomas Will
iams was chosen Chairman. Hon Wm L. Yancey
and Thos H. Watts were nominated by accama-
ton as delegates to the approaching State Conren-
ton, amid great enthusiasm. There will be no op-
position to their election. Strong separate State
action resolutions were adopted without dissent
ing voice. Messrs Yancey and Watts made speeches,
which were received with unbouuded enthusiasm.
Their appeals for immediate action were caught
up by the masses with readiness that proves that
they are ready to perform their duty. Alabama is
ready to secede. and only waits the action of her
Convention.
MOBILE November 18.-The Register, whichh as
hitherto been the rabid Douglas organ of the State
and which has been noted for the bitterness Of its
denunciations Of the 'Disunonsls" in its issue of
this morning declares for immediate secession. IT.
argues that theoverwhelming sectional vote cash at
the late election, both in the North and in the
South, proves that q common Government is no
longer possible. 1t concludes by saying that all
eff5rts to- save the Uhieu have been and will be
fruitless, and appeals to- the conservative element
of the State to rise up and avert the worst conse-
ouences of the revolution; which is now inevitable
by taking the secession movement into their own
hands. This somerset in the Registers politics
has excited much comment here, and iS received as
certain indicatiorthat the State will certainly Sc
cede.

on MONDAY EVENING,

The citizens were summoned by the ringing of
the Court House bell. 1t was understood that the
Hon. r. MUNRO would be expected TO present his
views On the political topics of the day. The meet
ing was organized by calling Gen. WILKES to the
Chair, and his Honor, Judge MuNno, was shortly
after introduced to the audience by Maj E. NJ.
RUcKgR. The Judge then delivered % half-hour
speech, marked by close argument and cogent
reasoning He discussed the right Of secession,
reviewed the contests of 80 and 81, and stated the
position occupied by him on both occasions. he
was Union man in notification times and CO.
operationist afterwards. lie was now for ress-
tnnce but desired cooperation, and believed that
it was Mt hand. Whether not rlSe others moved,
he thought South Carolina could not rccedc from
her present position with honor. He was of the
opinion that secession without cooperation would
be disastrous 10 considerable degree, and had not
changed the opinions held by him ten years. In
concluding his remarks, the Judge remarked that
some friend had nominated him as delegate, but
he respectfully declined being candidate forthe
Convention, and gave his reasons therefor.
Hon. ]. L. Onn was then called for. He began
by expressing the opinion that South Carolina
would secede, and he certain that nothing An
derson District might do, would prevent it. Dur
ing his visit to Columbia, he was assured of two
things, nsmey, that hundreds of troops would be
rendered South Carolina, not only from slavehold-
ing States, but from the North and that the most
effective cooperation would be had. To prove the
latter he referred 10 the action of Georgia in ap-
proprinting Sl,OO0,O0O to arm the State, which
means something and the positive call of Conyen-
tions in Florida, Alabama an Mississippi. He also
named the fact that Gov. LgrcHER had called the
Virginia Legislature in extraordinary session, and
in addition had said that no hostile troops should
ever march across the soil of the Old Dominion to CO.
cree sovereign State From personal and political
acquaintance with Gov. LEToHER, the speaker was
confident that there beat no truer Southern heart.
In concluding his remarks, Col. ORR thought there
should De unaimy and concert of action, irrespec-
tire Of former party names and that there should
be no division among our own people.
Judge WHIrxEn made the concluding speech Of
the evening. He occupied tae same position he
had always done, and was for the immediate seces-
sion, of South GaroIna from this Union. Believed
with the other speakers, that we might safely rely
on cooperation. The Judge was likewise desirous
of buryng past issues, as al parties would receive
the full measure of their desires in the building up
of Southern Confederacy, powerful, great and
magnificent beyond any nation the world has yet
known.
