b. @ The State Journal speaks of the courtesy
which he received or could have received as State
Printer at the hands of all the other offices in this
City, with the exception Of the Standard and then
adds, we consider them incapable of the meanness
to which We have been subjected" Now, in the
first place the State Printer asked no courtesy at our
hands. He knew that the manner in which he had
obtained his place had deprived him of all claim on
us. He was elected by combination and by re-
sort to means which placed him outside the craft

The LEGISLATURE.

We invite attention to the proceedings of Satur-
dav and Monday, in the Standard to-day. -
On Monday Hon. Bedford Brown introduced some
resolutions in the Senate, providing for the appoint
ment of Commissioners to South Carolina, to urge
that State to pause in her course and also to such
other Southern States as may be contemplating sepa
rate or hasty action The gentlemen proposed as Com
mi,sionsrs are Thomas Rufin, ST., VIM. A. Graham,
Weldon N Edwards, and ". N. H. Smith The reso-
lutions were evidently not acceptable to extreme
men in the Senate. There are those who are acting
rs if they would have bad get worse and who are
disposed to see to it that the prediction is fulfilled
which was made in the recent dsunion meeting in
the Commons Hall, that the Electoral vote of We'd
ncsay last is the last which will be cast in the pre-
sent Union Extreme men in the present crisis
seem to dread every thing which favors deberation
or Cancellation. The State must be "precipitated

So says MIR. Iverson and other freeaters, who
propose to assassinate Gen. Houston because he is
true to the Constitution and the Union. Temporal
~ dissolution we admit, is inevitable. You, Mr..
Fulton, had your full share in producing it. Mr.
Yancey is largely responsible for it, and you would
have seeded with him at Charleston if you had
thought the time had come Undue agitation by
demagogues North and South has led to impending
dissolution But South Carolina will rue it in blood
and tears. The "cotton States" when converted
into black empire, will rue it in blood and tears
All patriots every where will depore it as the most
fatal blow ever struck at the happiness Of the hui
race But the people of this State are still I'M
committed to this dreadful movement. They have
thus farknown the federal government only in ben

existing causes. They as true now to themselves
and to the great principles Of civil liberty as they
were in ITS, but they not ready to follow bad

light is shed. Let the South Carolina oligarchs 90

of that State will yet rise in their majesty and
