The State Convention.

This botly assembled on Tuesday last, the
2Gth inst, for the purpose of rNtifying the Con-
stitntion of the Confederate States of America.
We hope that harmony may reign, and the same
unanimity which has hitherto characterized
their proceedings, may prevail.
Georgia voted for the Constitution to a man,
and it will be pleasing and gratifying, not only
to the people of South Carolina, but to the other
seeded States, to hear but one voice in our
Convention, and that the Constitution thus pre-
scntcd to us, and as we think, one ftho wsost
and best ever devised by man, may be adopted
without single dissenting voice.
1t is believed by some that an effort will be
made to remodel the Constitution of our own
State. And though we do not think this an APP
propriatc time to move in so grave matter yet
we are of opinion and believe that several inn
portant changes should be made. We will
however, withhold our views for the present, NJ
we have no desire to intrudc them upon the reo-
pc at this moment.

"Pee Dee has had a Cold Shoulder.

The editor pro tenn. of the Marion .Sttw is
much angered at the recent appointments his
Exccllency Governor Pickcns, and rec echoes the
complaint" of hs correspondent F." who,
by the way, is right gallant gentleman.
Whether Pee Dee has been wrongcd or not,
is question we do not choose to discuss, ve;
we think our friend Of the tSu, as illbcral in
his criticisms upon men his Exccllcncy has
been ungencrous in the distribution Of honors
We do not propose to advocate the claims of
these gentlemen reSpectiyc ely, of whom the ,SiG,'
speaks in such unbecOming language, but to
lend our endorsement to some Of the appoint,
ments which we think our Governor has in Wis
dom and justice made.
And first, the appointment of Gen. Smith to
to Maoralry, which we heartily approve, and
think deserving, because of his noble cxcrtons
in having raised regiment and rendered it to
Gov. Gist, even before the passage of the bill
by the Legislature, providing 'an armed mill
tary force" for the defence of the State. Gov.
Gist felt himself unauthorized to accept the reg
imcnt at that time. This regiment was dis.
banded by the subsequent action of tic Lcgisla
ture, and Gen Smith then entered the ankS rs
private in n volunteer company. But Gen
Smith not, before this time, without mill
gade and was an efficient soldier and gallant
oficcr We are pleased to see that the .Say,
although not endorsing the appointment of Gen.
Smith to the Majoralty, is disposed to give him
crelit for his sclfsocrifcing spirit and devotion
to the rights, interests and honor of his State
But what so stngs our friend of tie Star, and
so much excites his spleen, is the appointment
Of Cen. McGowan to q Rrigadier Gcncralship
This we think good, q just and deserved com
pliment to one who has shown his devotion to
his State not only in our legislative halls, but
upon the battle fields of Mexico, and under the
folds of the Palmetto flag. And whatever may
be the opinion entertained by our friend of the
S;T, Gen McGowan's support of Gov. Pickcns
does not deprecate him in our estimation, nol
lessen his character for tact talent and military
capacity.
utthe Star goes on and rccounts the vari
Gus acts of injustice donc by his Exccllency
and concludes by saying that the "crowning ac
of injustice was the late appointment of the
General of Brigade" The military character
of Gen. Bonham requires no vndioation at oui
hands, and his claims are too we'll known to the
public to need their recital.
In conclusion, friend star, do not let your
antipathy TO Gov. Pickens betray you into acts
of injustice, of which you so much complain
and induce you to speak disparagingly of mcr
who are above the shafts Of envy, and are in
every sonse as good, as amiable, and as efficient
in arms as your worthy sons of the PEG Dee

1t adds:
f" 1t is impossible to deny to tho Southern
tanii an cNcmpllication Of statesmanship. on
liGhtchment, wisdom and a KNOWLEDGE OF oov-
erning great and enterprsing people, which
are wholly wanting in the other document.
Ihe two measures, in fact, differ MS nuch
in spirit as the eighteenth and the nineteenth,
centuries; they are as widely different as the
legislation of the Mountnin IN Revolutionary

Commonwealth Of England, and the lccisl,-
ton OF these two countresat the present dav

subject may see by comparing the one with

"Tlre tariff of the Washington Conorcss
is the most ignorant, useless, bIundering aud
pcrnlcIouS enactment that ever was concoctcd
for the avowed purpose of bcttering the in
terests OF the countiy. On the contrary the
tariff OF the Montgomery Congress is a sound.
practicable and intciligihlo measure. and ne
such it will command the admiration of The.
statesmen of England and France, and all the
commercial nations of Europe They will
discover, from the comparison, that the art Of
government is with tho South, and not with
the North, and they will bc guided by that
conviction in their policy as regards the two

FRENcH VIEW or THE AMERICAS TARIFF
The Paris Moniteur is indignant at the increase
OF duties imposed by the Northcrn United States
upon French productions. Silks which raid
nineteen per cent. will have now to rny from
twenty to thirty. and wines, which paid thirty.
viii have to pny thirty.three and half and also
pt other kinds of goods and produce. The
Official journal accuses the Northern Congress.
men of having taken advantage of the absence
of those from the South to do this smnrt bit Of
business, and laments to have to observe the
retrogrnde movement from free trade. when all
other countries are. on the contrary, advancing
towards liberty of commerce. There is another
ground for lamentntion in the suspicion which
is now raised that the anti.slave declarations of
the Northern monopnists are not 40 completely
animated as they ought to be by that ardent and
selfsacriicng devotion to principle which alone
can secure tho triumph of just cnuse If self
ishness of one kind be arrayed against eofsh
ness of another. II cannot be expected that The
generous sympathies of mankind will DO with
either.
