From the Louisville "Kentucky** I WOTITIT p AWnv tva xr*'oti? vii?v/ui.on iUiiooJV OHUSBTTS. The citizens of ninny of the districts in South Carolina hove thought proper to hold primary meetings, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Address put forth by a portion of the Southern Members of Congress. And for this great offence the columns of the Republican have been fdled with a parcel of trash, which it calls ridicule. Whether the picces referred to were written bv its Northern or Native Kditor. I am unable to Bay: neither do I care. It has become so much a habit with them to decry South Carolina and uphold Massachusetts, that they have either forgotten the history of the two States, or else they have never known it. For their own information, therefore, as well as that of many of their readers I request that you will publish the following extracts, hoping they may profit thereby. CIYIS.
