THE CO-OPERATION MEETING. Tho Meeting of Tuesday night was large. u The Hibernian Hall was well-lilicd, though in ' our judgement not so crowded as at'the South- !, ern Rights mooting of the week before. In * spirit and enthusiasm it was immeasurably in- ( ferior. Indeed it was hard to divine how so 1 many people could be brought together, to look c so gloomy and spiritless for a whole evening. Tho 1 first spark of enthusiasm was struck ouL in res- 1 ponso to .Mr. Carroll's resolution?but of that ( i I ftltri C?iilU . Tho want of tono and impulse in the audi- I 1 atice, was, we suspect, tho development of a 11 necessary' characteristic of the Co-operation j v party, They have a position self-contradicto- j ry and confused, and if they move at all, titev ' c must be constantly stumbling over their own toes. They not only admit, hut they arc bound 1 to set forth strongly and indignantly, the ' wrongs of the South, the degradation of her * .present condition, and the dangers that hang I over.the future. This is their justification for ! advocating the dissolution of the Union. No ! man lias stated these causes of resistance J more strongly, and pressed them upon the at- 1 tention of the people more vehemently, than ( Mr. Chevcs, than Senator Butler. But haying I got thus.far, - having proved the necessity of ' resistance and the peril of delay?they tell us ! we must uot resist, and that wo must wait. It 1 is this "larno and important conclusion," hang- 1 J A ?1| tl,^;r -MldrfSL'S 5 lug, liKe a urearj ciuuu, u>li u.> ...... .and appeals, which necessarily kills off all popular enthusiasm. In fact their mission ? the very soul of all their efforts?is not to raise up, but to put. clown, the spirit of lh? people. What they wish to propagate and make con- > verts to, is political immobility and inanition. j.< They preach, and enforce dullness as a cardi- < nal virtue. We do not speak of the aim and intention of the. individual men, bat of the ne- 1 cessary results of the position they have taken.! ' There is another cause which has embaras- t Sed this party in the outset, and will continue 1 "to increase the weakness and confusion of their l movements, They profess to be disuniouist, ' resistance men, and only opposed to secession ( "because they do not think it the most effectual ' mode of breaking, up the exisiog Confederacy^ ' J$ut.tjkeyiidye.gathered.iuto* their ranks a con- < siderable bodv of men who have no sympathy 1 with resistance in any form, who are Unionists * pdr se, and go for sul>missionisin at all hazards * ifnd to the last extremity. The whole force of v this class Will be subtly, but actively", exerted 1 to drag the in down from their resjstauco atti- 4 tude, and convert their. movement iuto a ' mere opposition to secession. We think we < ' ~x "c "V." nrn i-o.'kI v. and we ' see ^vrawais ui u?a , warn them that tbcjr are in imminent danger ol' |1 "bein& infected with this noxious itiflueuce be- f yowl aR hope of restoration. We return to Mr. Carroll's resolution, and I we reprint it here, in order that the reader may join with u3 in wondering how the meeting could, liave committed the unaccountable in- i aifcCretidh of treating it with comiempl. ( Resulted, That, while we cannot believe our t sister states of the ?South will submit, for air*! < consfBerabld time, to the resent aggresion of the l "Federal Government upon their rights, and : while we have full faith in their intentions to co-operate with ca'-h oiher for the vindication .1 of those rights, we nevertheless declare that tO j Sooth Carolina "is due tire allegiance of each of : Her crtizensj and that much as we depnrate se- j cession from the Un'ron, under r.cis'ing circirm j i danec* yet should her constituted authorities 1 resolve upon such a measure, we shall then i hold if treason in any son of hers to oppose 1 such determination. 1 This'resolution was laid 0:1 the table nnatuc ; 1 offir ers of the meeting refined to "allow it to j I appetyr.in.their report of t!:c proceedings.

And Mr. C'al- ' 1 liouu refused to accept the gift. After his 1 death, it appeared that some thirty thousand s dollars of the money hau already been sub- I scribed and paid?audit was offered succ-ssively to tbc tour son? of Mr. Calhoun for the : beoclit of his estate, nod was by each of them < refused, it is a-mistake that either .Mr. CaJ- ; 1 N;< I UUUli VI IliO VCkWiV MU4 VMVIl..?.wwv%.. ...v ... v . jx?rtv, on his do.-ttli, was worth almut one hon ' drcd and fifty thousand dollars, and his ?J</ht | due some bank in South Carolina, was only I 1 about twenty-five thousaud. So thai there was ?' no embarrassment. But as the money, to the 1 amount of thirty thousand dollars, had been c paid up by his friends, they, on the refusal of ? liia sons to accept it, forwarded a check for the ' amount to his widow,?stating that it could I not, without great inconvenience, be restored j to the contributors, some of whom, pi rhaps, < were unknown. So she accepted it. But bet sons had before taken care that she should lie i entirely independent; lor they released to her, t in fee; simple, the mansion property, the I'urt I t i i m cm..

Rencontre between Generals Foote and Quitnan.?We perceive from the Memphis Eagle, )f the 21st inst., that a personal difficulty oe- i furred between the candidates for Governor in I Mississippi, Generals Foote and Quitman, on | he 19th instant, during their discussion at I Siedgville, in Panola county. It apj>ears from j he Eagle's account that both gentlemen had j igreed to refrain from all personalities in their iiscussions. General Foote, however,' deemed t no infraction of this agreement to allude to ien. Quitman's connection with the? late Cuban sxpedition, and,bad done so at several appoiu,tnents previous to the' one at Siedgville, wilh>ut provoking any interruption. At Siedgville, lowever, when Geu. Foote spoke of tlio Caban ifTair, Gen. Quitman stopped biinand said that! t was "ungcnllemauly and dishonest" thus to i iolate" their agreement. Thereupon Gen. ?opfe* called him "a liar." Blows were indantly interchanged ; but their mutual friends nlerposed and separated the combatants. Acsording to die Eagle, Gen.

If the are sincere in their professions, why not joi the Association already formed for that pu pose in the City of Charleston ?

J Do they hope to produce co-operation by any n action on their part? Has it not been stated time and again by prominent men in the other Southern States, that the only safety now for i- the whole South is, in the firmness on the part nj of South Carolina in prompt resistance i VVho, 11 j Mr. Editor, let me ask are the persons chiefly, .ry I . .. ,^11 j whose names are arnxeu iu uuu un i ua | as I am able to judge, nine-tenths are commerIj j cial men. It is high time for us of the country ie I to look to our interests. Must 'lie entire interj.! est of the agricultural community be swallow| od up, on account of the paltry gains of the mercantile community for a year or so ? I hope not. What is it that supports the trade of the i- merchant but the labour of the agriculturists, . . . . i 11 and now, since we have it befole us in point, j I would as a producer, advise all of like inter;c i est to procure and keep a copy of the Charles^ Ion Mercury of 29th inst, and there seo the | names opposed to us and mark them icell, Faci tors and Merchants. Though a large number ' of names are there published, still there are a j many Factors and Merchants, with honor he it n' | said, whose names are not there recorded. It ,r i is with them we should hereafter deal under all ? j circumstances. Boston has been made to feel y I the evil of non-intercourse, and if we have | Boston Factors and Merchants in Charleston,* y , imbued with the same miserable spirit of gain, is let us treat them as their Northern confedcre ates. This is a matter of life and death to us, ,v who design living in our beloved State as long 0 as our lives last, and it behooves us to make i- # * V" 0 j provision for ourselves and our posterity. In r- j doing so, our duty requires us to cut loose 0 from our brother, and bestow our affections l~ and support, on those, who are identified in feeling and interest with us. If any thing sej, rious grows out of this meeting, I will take some pains to inform myself of the Factors lC and Merchants who did not sign this call, and it will inform you ZSIr.
