The Camden Journal. PUBLtSHED BV TnO. J. WARREN & C. A. PRICE, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH. Why is the South assailed in this Union? | On what pretences do they justify themselves, who insist that the Federal Government shall take a position of hostility to the slaveholding States; shall make it a matter of triumph to cheat and defraud them, to insult their feelings, to weaken their power, and deprive them of all reliance on its justice and its protection? When the Union was formed it consisted only of the States on the Atlantic border?a feeble part of that grand dominion which stretch, es from ocean to ocean, and holds in its hands r? , ? the destinies of a new world, nui mere was even then a vast territory belonging to Virginia J the Carolinas, and Georgia. It was given by them to the Union, and one half of it allowed to be appropriated to the North. Louisiana was subsequently acquired; it was slave territory, the whole of it. The South yielded up so dis appropriate a part to the North, that even the subsequent annexation of Texas, giving her all the extent she claims, was very far from equalising the acquisition of the two sections. Thus far, all the increase of the domain of the Confederacy, had been by the acquisition of slave territory and the gift of Southern States.' And yet, at the end, the North is found in possession of immensely the largest share. The South had surrendered her advantages, had given up her superiority of possession, and for the sake nf harmony, had beerffared herself to enrich the rival section. She expected, doubtless, that this generous self-sacrifice would be gratefully remembered, and that she would be repaid in love for the free bestowal of an empire. King Lear had the same visions, and woke from them to the same reality, to find that those to whom he had given all, returned his benefits with hatred, persecution and outlawry. It is not, then, because the South has heretofore been greedy of more than her share, than she Is now required to relinquish to the North the whole of the latest acquisitions of the whole Confederacy. Is there anything in the circumstances of that gives color of fairness to the attempt to deprive her of all participation in it? The territory was the prize of war?the reward of laborious campaigns and man y bloody battles. For this war, the Southern States contributed not only more men, in proportion their population, but absolutely more men, than the Northera. And that State which which now stands' pre-eminent in the violence with which she de i._n tnands that ail ttie acquisitions 01 me war bnau be appropriated to the North, refused by her public authorities, to encourage the raising of a single regiment within her borders, and when it was raised, refused to appropriate a dollar for the subsistence and comfort of the soldiers on their march to join the armies of their country. Such is the title of Massachusetts to the lion's share in the new territories. It is the title, not of the soldier who faces danger and death for the glory of his flag, but of the vulture that hovers in the rear of battle and fattens on its blood. But the whole Free Soil party of the North, which now claim as their own the rewards of all our Mexican achievements, acted the same patriotic part during the war; and a conspicuous leader ef their traitorous faction in. the Senate, spoke the spirit of the whole, when be invoked for our heroic soldiers in Mexico, a welcome from their enemies "with bloody hands to hospitable graves." But there is another view of this matter.? The war involved the country in a heavy debt; at least sixty millions of dollars. Fifteen millions more were stipulated to be paid to Mexico in the treaty of peace. The revenues of the United States are derived almost wholly from taxes on commerce. Of this commerce the South furnishes one hundred millions to forty millions from the North. Five sevenths of the revenue of the United States is derived from Southern products, and that is the proportion they have to pay of the expenses of the Mexican war and the price of the ceded territory. It is idle, and worse than idle, it is dishonest, to call this in question. So far are the Northern States from feeling the burdens of federal taxation, and it has been with the extremest difficulty that they have been prevented from fixing upou us a rate of taxation so high as to threaten the existence of the commerce that thus supported iltA f-miAKnmnnf Tlup tune n nf fr / \ ry? nn?v 1 /??? a uic uuvciiiuicim xino wtio nut iium auj iu?u of taxation. These people are anything hut lavish of their own means, and are easily disturbed by heavy taxes which they have to pay.? And so well do they understand the matter, that the citizens of that town in Massachusetts who strenuously refused to be assessed to defray the small expenses of covering with earth the bones of their Ex-President, have always been with great unanimity in favor of the heaviest burdens on commerce. They know well that the purses of the people of Quiuey are not lightened by the process. The South, has fought for this territory, furnishing far more than her proportion of the soldiery who carried the flag of their country over victorious battle-fields, till they planted it on the walls of the Mexican Capital. The South has paid in money, as in blood, far more than her share of the cost of the acquisition. By what right then, is she denied the benefits of an achievement which has boen bo largely her work ? The reasons given for excluding her from the participation in these acquisitions, are as insulting to her feelings as the ac'. itself is aggressive upon her rights and injurious to her interests. They rob her of her property, and justify the outrage by heaping imputations upon her honor, and casting stigmas unci approbrium upon her social institutions. : To posittve aggression and plain plunder they add the provocation of bitter taunts and insult ing aspersions, and if the South, aggravated by this manifold wrong, makes a movement that looks to self-protection they denounce it as treason, and threaten to stifle it with the strong arm of the Federal Government?that Government which the industry and commerce of the South support How long will we patiently bear these oppressions ? Charleston Mercury. THIE JOTOBKAld, CAMDEN. S. C. FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1850. By Magnetic Telegraph for the Journal. Charleston, May 23, 9 p. m. The demand is moderately fair, and prices remain unchanged. Sales of900 bales atfron^ 10 to 12 1-2. Sales of the week 4000 bales; receipts 7000. Y*. Mr. Uriah Williams, y / The gentleman who was bitten by ^rattlesnake a few days ago, and whom we noticed in the last Journal as having died from the same, we are happy to state is still alive, and has almost recovered from the wound. Our notice of his death ? l. ? A knt at? it-o V?o rJ lli/j may appear son.ewuai jwcm j, uui. a.- .??- ...~ information trom a gentleman, we felt authorized in making the announcement. Of course that gentleman was misinformed, and our notice was premature. Our exchanges which have noticed, will please make this correction. The Washington Union Denies most emphatically that its editors have not written nor permitted to be writt< n anything "calculated to defend the rights of the South, or state truly its case," or that they have attempted to lull the South " into a false security," or have been engaged "in manufacturing an artificial public sentiment, suitable for some presidential platform, though at the expense of every interest the Soutli may possess, no matter how, or how vital and momentous." They also deny that their press "has taken its tone from that of the North." The paragraph concludes thus: "We deny and repel all and singular of these charges and imputations, because so far as we are concerned, they have no foundation in fact whatever." We acknowledge the " Union" has been more favorable towards the South than some others at Washington ; but whether it is substantially correct in all it says in reply to the Southern Address on the sub ject ot estaoiisning a ooumern paper at wasnington, we submit facts to " a candid world." M. E. General Conference. This body (says the South Carolinian of Wednesday) adjourned at St. Louis on the 14th instant The following are some of the principal elections made during the session: Dr. Bascom, Bishop. Dr. Sehon, Corresponding Secretary ot the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Dr. John Early, Book Agent. Dr. T. 0. Summers, formerly of Southern Christian Advocate, General Book Editor and Editor of Sunday School Journal, Charleston. Dr. W. M. Wightman, sole pditor of Southern Christian Advocate. Dr. Lee, editor of Richmond Christian Advocate. An additional Conference was formed?Western Virginia. The business was generally disposed of, though hastened by the prevalence of a Cholera atmosphere. The Rev. M. J. Boring, of the Georgia Conference, died of cholera on the Saturday before adjournment. Many of the delegates suffered. These particulars were communicated by the Rev. Mr. Talley, who returned from the Conference last evening. Southern Paper at Washington. We are gratified to see that so many of the citizens of this place and vicinity have already subscribed for the Southern organ, to l>e established at the seat of the general Government We are glad that there is but one press in South Carolina which looks to the North tor its tone; the rest, Whig or Democrat, are sound to the core upoirthc absorbing question of the day, and are "devoted to Southern rights, and animated by Southern feeling. We cannot better recommend the proposed scheme lor the establishment of this paper, than by copying the following extract from the Southern address of our Senators and Representatives upon this subject Let us have a press ot our own, as the North lias, both here and at home?a press which shail be devoted to Southern rights, and animated by Southern feeling; which shall look not to the North, but the South, tor the tone which is to pervade it Claiming our share of power in Federal legislation, let us also claim our share of influence in the press of the country. Let us organize in every Southern town and county, so as to send this paper into every house in the land. Let us take. too. all the means necessary to maintain the paper by Hubscription, so as to increase its circulation, and promote the spread of knowledge and truth. Let every portion of the South furnish its full quota of talent and money tr> sustain a paper which ought to be supported by all, because it will be devoted to the interest of every Southern man. It will he the earnest effort of the Committee, who are charged with theso arrangements, to procure editors of high talent and standing; and they will also see that the paper is conducted without opposition and without reference to the political parties of the day. With these assurances, we feel justified in calling upon you, the people of the Southern Stales, to make tiie necessary efforts to establish and maintain the proposed paper. Hon. J. L. Orr ?T . ii _ i- r 1* -'i i!- -- f * nas our maims lor msauennon in lorwaramg us a copy of his speech delivered in the House of Representatives on the 8th instant, on the slavery agitation. It is an able vindication of Southern rights, and ought to be read by every Southern man. Every sentiment is worthy to be adopted by those who claim the right of citizenship within our borders. We regret not being able to publish this excellent speech. Mr. Orr says that hostilities to our institutions, of a grievous kind, are not confined solely to abolition factions, but that many "intend to effect the same end, but have not the candor to own it, and hypocritically profess an attachment to the constitution, which they are really seeking to destroy?giving as evidence incontrovertible "the election of Win. II. Seward as Senato. for New York, the Empire State; a man whose greatest distinction has been his untiring advocacy of the doctrines of abolition, showing that the major part of the people of that State sympathize deeply with their Senator in his nefarious principles." Mr. Orr does not nibble at the queslion?his views are plain and comprehen *' .. sivc. In reference to the Southern Convention, he pays: " I know that my section of the Union is deceived and deluded as to the true situation of this controversy. They have cherished with abiding confidence the hope that their Northern brethien would cease their aggressions and do them justice. The events which have transpired here, and to which I have adverted (Webster's speech, and the laying of Root's resolution on the table) have added to the delusion. I warn them to rise from the lethargy into which they have been betrayed. I tell them now, in all candor, that I spe no returning sense of justice in the North. They should appoint their delegates to the Nashville Convention : let them assemble there and deliberate upon the grave issues which abolition has presented? let them concentrate the sentiment ot the South, and lay such plans as to defeat the ends of abolitionists. Every southern State should be fully represented there by her ablest constitution-loving sons. That convention, sir, will meet, although it'l is probablo that the confident expectation of a compromise will prevent its being as numerously attended as it Would have been some months back, the people believing that the necessity of its convening has passed away. I fear, sir, they have been deluded in the hope of compromise, so industriously instilled into their minds for the purpose of defeating the Nashville Convention. That effort has b'eeir partially successful; but the -convention-will .nevertheless assemble, and the So'fth will not readily forget those by whom they have been deceived. Sir, it has been fashionable todenounce that convention, and to disparage the purposes of those who called it For one, I am not ashamed ofthat convention?nothing could make me ashamed of it, but the failure of the South, or of those with whom my honor is more immediately bound iip, to attend it. The ends of that convention Were high and holy; it was called to protect the Constitution, to save the Union, by taking such steps as might prevent, if possible, the consummation of measures which would probably lead to the destruction of both. Had the purpose been disunion, those who called that convention would have waited until the irretrievable step had been taken, and nothing left to the South but submission or secession. 1 lie present is a critical conjuncture of political affairs; there is a propriety, nay, almost a necessity for southern men to commune with each other. I, for one, wish that harmony may mark their deliberations, and that the. result cf those deliberations may lie worthy of the occasion and of the cause for which they will convene." 23F" Southern opposition meetings to the compromise report are.being held in many sections of the country. Little Hotspur South Carolina is not the only State that feels the oppression of Northern dictators. South Carolina is now where she always wps, and always xcill be, ready to resist oppression and sustain her rights. What can she do in this mighty struggle? lias been asked. We answer, if necessity occurs, she can raise up Sumters, who are not afraid to tight, and Marions who will leadher sons to glory or to death. That is what little' South Carolina can and will do, if occasion requires. Meeting in Charleston. We learn by the Charleston Mercury of Tuesday last, that a very large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Charleston District, was held at the Hibernian Hall, on Monday evening 20th instant, to express their opposition to the report and propositions of the Committee of Thirteen, recently made in the Senate of the United States, on the slavery question. Hon. Henry A. DeSaussure was appointed President, assisted by fortyone Vice Presidents. Two Secretaries were appointed. On motion of Hon. W. D. Porter, it was resolved that a committee of twenty-one be raised to prepare resolutions for the consideration of the meeting, which being done, after a short absence the committee returned, and through their chair man, Hon. Win. D. Porter, reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : 1. Resolved, That the Constitution of the U. States is the fundamental law by which the legislation of Congress is to be controlled, and by which the extent of the powers conferred by the States is to be determined ; and any measures of Congress which are not authorized by its terms, whatever inay be their aim, can afford no benefit to the South, the assailed and weaker section of the Union, commensurate with the evil they must produce in unsettling the foundations on which its rights repose. 2. Resolved, That the various measures lately reported in the United States Senate, on the subject of Slavery, purporting to be a Compromise, are in conflict with the Constitution in several particulars; are destructive of the rights I i 1 / AI CI .1 ana imerescs 01 inc people 01 me ooutn, ana ought not to receive their sanction or support. 3. Resolved, That the adventurers from all parts of the world, now sojourning or living in the Territory of California, do not constitute a people in legal and' constitutional language; and the sanction by' Congress of their attempt to appropriate to themselves a region rightfully belonging to the sovereign States of the Union, and to create a State therein, will constitute an outrage op the Constitution, and practically en force the Wilmot Proviso in a most odious and insulting form. 4. Resolved, That the boundaries of Texas, settled with Mexico in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, are as plainly determined and known as those of any other Suite in the Union, and Congress has no constitutional right to question or change them; niucn less has it any right to purchase a portion of the territory of a State in order that the institutions of one section may he promoted, and those of another section may be excluded therefrom. The surrender, therefore, of any portion of Texas, in concession to such a policy, will he a betrayal of the rights and interests of the South. 5. Resolved, That it is the duty of the States as well as of Congress, in obedience to the plain mandate of the Constitution, to secure to the Southern master the rendition of his fugitive slave; nor would the enforcement of this manifest duty by the whole power both of the Federal and State Governments, be anything more than a mere compliance with the obligations which the Constitution strictly enjoins. When therefore this duty on the part of Congress is not only disregarded, but is used as a pretext for interfering with slavery in the States, and when, as a part of tho compromise which we are called on to support, the Southern master is to be arraigned by his own slave, in his own State, before the judicial tribunals of the U. States, or the State, our surprise is sunk in our indigna tion at such a proposition ; and we can only mark it as one of those steps in the progress of things that too significantly indicate " the beginning of the end." 6. Resolved, That although the Constitution was established by mutual compromises, yet when once established it ceased to be the subject of compromise through the ordinary forms of Congressional legislation. Its provis'ons must be enforced or abandoned by Congress. The South in reference to the subject of slavery, asks but simple justice under the Constitution ; and faithful herself to the conditions on which she entered the Union, she now claims the full benefit of her equal constitutional rights, and cannot, consistently with her safety or her honor, rest satisfied with anything less. We concur fully and heartily in the resolutions adopted, and earnestly hope similar proceedings may be had upon the reception of this report, and upon the subject in general, in every Southern city, town, village, and county, showing those great friends of the Union and of Constitutional liberty, as some have been pleased to misapply the terms to suit themselves,?who profess to lie opposed to Southern action, and are consequently little less than aiders and abettors of Northern Fanaticism?those who, by their., words and actions, are willing to degrade themselves ."by acceptiug terms of compromise which will certainly "prove a betrayal of the rights and interests of the South" ?showing these, as well as Northern interferencei that the people are determined to have thei't rights, cost what the7 maV, and that this feeling is not confined merely to South Carolina, and members of Congress, and a few ullraists, but that " The South, in reference to the subject of slavery, asks but simple justice under the Constitution, and faithful herself to the conditionson which she entered the Union, she now claims the full benefit of her constitutional rights, and cannot, consistently with her safety or her honor, rest satisfied with any thing less." Editorial Correspondence of the Journal. Washington, May 19, 1850. Yesterday the Senate did not sit, having adjourned over on Thursday until Monday. The House heard the Galphin Report, or rather reports, as there were three, and none having a majority, adjourned over until Monday. We will have warm work next week; and it is thought that the vote on the Compromise bill will be taken about the 28th. One tiling is evident, the sooner it is brought on, the better for the South. It will be killed just as sure as voted on next week; after that, it will stand a better chance. My reasons for it arc these ? i that the mighty intellects oj" Webster (who is to speak in a few days) and Clay will be j brought to bear in its favor, and hence the undeniable fact that every day we are losing power here. It is a startling fact, and the South should consider it well. To-day they may dr.' maml their rights?to-morrow they may beg them. One siiort year ago, many who are now arrayed against us, I would have unreservedly trusted. (Jen. .Hamilton is here jn favor of the Comproinse. Con. Hamilton has largo claims in 'i'exas land bonds. Waddy Thompson, I hear, has written a letter in favor of the Compromise bill. You see, defection has eutered the old )' uinetto State even ; what, then, is iffc extent elsewhere i I see in this morning's Intelligencer the Editor of the Fairfield Herald arrayed in a most (rightful manner, because he has expressed himself in favor of disunion. We will soon, I suppose, press, people, politicians and sill, bo put under the ban of Abolitionists, news-mongers and demagogues, and still men from the South, too, will discordantly sing out " the glorious Union!" To-day a Commissioner of Free Schools in this District showed me one of a series of school books, entitled " Mandcrvillc's series;" he said the agent came to him and proposed his adopting them in the schools here; and to prove their freedom from Abolition doctrines, said they had been adopted in South Carolina; he flioii r/nwl fa ma liomi flin r/klmna nntiflnd fU.i Llllsll I V UVl W M?V * I "HI HIV Ti/iuillV VllilliVU VIIC " Orator and Reader," 26-ltli page, a passage as thorough abolition as I suppose Mr. Fonte, Stanly or Ciddiugs would like to see. If I mistake no:, these are the books that a writer in the Mercury handled so severely; and the agent, one whom a certain teacher in your State threatened to kick out of his academy, if he did not in double quick time remove himself, as well as his abolition bomb-shells. lty the by, I see the Charleston Courier is out for the Compromise; who expected anything else, that has watched the course of that paper; and once for all, again as before, I repeat, the Courier is unsound to the South. On last night the President gave a grand levee. Since 1 was last iu the splendid East Room of tho White House, tl\e old furniture 1ms all been removed and new introduced; tins always happens when a Whip President chances to get in. But I thought it very inconsistent that the floor should be chrjH?tted in foreign manufacture, when we have, no doubt, as good at home; at least I think old Zach should have sent to the " rest of mankind " for it, as he wishes to sustain amicable relations with them. It was a brilliant fete; but the President having dispensed with music, during this winter, his levees are less interesting. Miss Julia Dean closed her engagement here last night; she is a splendid actress ?but I think the constituents of some of the " wise heads" here had better protest against her re visiting tho Capital, if they want them to legislate, as I should not l>e surprised if some of them make it convenient to follow her to her next euffauement. Monday, May 20. The Senate and House have just adjourned. The House have had under consideration tho Galphin claim. We have had a tolerbly warm day in the Senate; Mr. Clemens finished his speech, and proved most conclusively the de. falcation of Foote. He said some of tho worthy correspondents of the Baltimore Sun, had re? minded him that Mr. Foote hud a national ce> lebrity ; he, too, could attain a national oelebrity by turning traitor to the South, and soon have tho whole pusillanemous herd of curs in his train. Ho showed conclusively too, what the compromise was, all from the South, all to the Noi tli. But the Gentleman from Mississippi had told him he had better take that than worse, had it come to that?that a Uuited States Senator must ask not wh^t was jostly his, but what was the best be jhould do; not whether he would be chained or not,.bu'; wliether the links should be round or square ; not whether he would take the cowhide or not; but whether that cowhide should be blue or red; this is the principle of the compromise. The South is told?better submit to the admission of California under this Bill than to have it forced upon you, anyhow. Who feejs in the South like thus submitting?Let us have our rights or nothing at all? . j " Better he Where the extinguished Sparta.t* still ore free In the proud cliamel of Thermopyle," than, instead of demanding, claiming, holding our rights; to act the servile part, and kiss the hand that chastises; I would rather to-day see i. *t.? ?x x?- e.t ? " i uuiv iiuiig wjc ui^iifbi, irec or me Missis* sippi forest" as lie threatened onee to do to Hale, than to see Hale himself. Not content with his former defalcation, he came out to-day against the Nshville Convention?hoped it would meet, but he thought it had better be postponed, as there was no aggression on the part of the North. South Carolina is firm ? than 1<? to her patriotism?never let the flag ot* resistance to aggression, be lowered so long as the Palmetto grows upon her soil, or the memory of'76 lives. 1 understand that* the Charleston! ans have had a meeting and withdrawn their patronage from the Charleston Courier?that's right?a fire brand in our own temple of rights, should be extinguished.

Carried,' and is as follows, wtiieh waa unanimously adopted. Since our Inst meeting?Death has ben in our midst, and stricken down a beloved and most esteemed BroUwr?a most worthy and indefatigable tificer. A bright light has been extinguished among us?a strong pillar has been broken. Our Grand Treasurer, James Roiikrt M'Kain?from a burning boat, on a swollen river, attempting to . save a fond and aged mother, was suddeidy called away to join the band of brethren above. The awful and distressing death by accident was bis, under circumstances that elicit oar warmest sympathies. With a mind active and decisive?with a judgment clear and strong?with feelings al wavs right?always benevolent?with a lively appreciation of the good, aud utter abhorrence of the evil, he filled a large sphere of useful ness, and was to our Order, one of the purest exemplars aud most efficient advocates. He gave to the cause of Temperance the strong energies of his whole nature. He thoroughly understood the principles of our Institution, and none were more strict in their observance.. The G. D. appreciated his worth by retaining his .active jwwers always in office. We feel a melancholy gratification in knowing, that in. the absence of acquaintances, when no familiar eye was near to tell whose mortal remains had been recovered?strangers first learned his name from the Travelling Card of our Order. His individuality of character was too well marked?his .devotion to principle too earnest and deep-seated, and Iris estimate of the good too high and pure not to be felt and seen in any association. As Treasurer of oar Body,, his accounts were left in order, and were easily adjusted. Let us cherish the 1 elief that he was. as well prepared for that/bio/ accounting, where all his treasure was. His manly form and animated countenance will no more cheer up oar meetings. His place among us will know him no more. It becomes us to bow in humble submission to that God, the Great Patriarch, whoso wisdom is inscrutable, and whose ways past finding out In imitating the bright example left us, we can only become strouger Sons of Temperance, and more useful members of so cieiy. inerelore, Resolved, That in the death of our much esteemed, G.
