SOUTH CAROLINA Seeded Shortly after the
Star went to press Yesterday, dispatches reached
Us announcing that the South Carolina Conven-
ton had passed the proposed ordinance Of seces-
sion, amid the firing Of cannon and beating of
drums This action was Of course expected by
all here. Without dollar of real money in he,
treasury, without credit upon which to obtain
single dollar abroad, and with none in her own
limits able, by combining, TO loan her sufficient
money to keep single regiment in the field for
q year, the threats Of war against the United
States 70 which the orators In her movement are
constantly giving utterance, amount to no more
than whistling to keep their courage up When,
az she viii soon find out, no European nation
will permit a vessel with South Carolina clear
ance to discharge cargo in its port, the people of
South Carolina win begin to understand that
separate State secession 10 likely, after all, to
prove az injurious to them, as to the rest of the
States Of the Union their leaders are striving to
involve In one common ruin.

MR. PrsHs SPEECH, delivered yesterday, wa.
not only one OF the most powerful oratorical
EFFORTS that have 50 far graced the history Of tbs
Senate OF the United States, but is likely to have

Mr. CRIrrENpEs's PLAs.-It has become plain
that those In Congress sincerely anxious to settle

In favor OF the plan to that end proposed by
Senator Crittenden in his late speech

miftee room this morning But for the refusal Of
three or four extreme southern men to act with
