iiOMAWNICI 3IONSO -roR TU ADVZRTINsy1.] "You are thought here to he the most senseless' and -fit Man for the Constable of the watch.; therefore bear you the lanistern." Much ado about Nothing. Wa. EDITOR, It was% with emotions of mingled admira tion and delight, that I lately read the pro found, patriotic and statismantilike views of quire llolmes as contained in'hit Reso lutians. i find myself at a loss, however, which most to admire, the mere beauty and elegance of the coniposition or the profound and philosophic views of this embryo states I man. old Edgefield has long enjoyed a merited reputation for generosity, bravery and public spirit; but it was left for Squire HIoltnes to establish for his country, honor and distinetion in the field of letters; and for himself a name and statiot among ihe Literati of the earth. How deeply is it to be regretted that the retiring modesty of this modern Circinnatus should have de. prived his country so long of his services in her National Council! I trust that the riodest merit of this retiring genius will be no longer overlooked by the people. The-Slate may justly regard her loss s a - gain, when. she refleets that the destruction S - of het City has.led to the discovery o' this ripe seholar and profound statesman. But - for that enhimity.this flower too might have been- "born to bolush unseet"--this light of Edefield might over have remaincd under the. hushel.. Afier having tried the sword and tie ermitne and finding that he wai not - destined to flourish either in the camp or on the heilch, he has at .ast most fortunately discovered ihat his genius lics in legislation. It is said that the disregard of all con - enitionall rules is indicative ofa great mind. A hold and original genius scorns to follow the beaten track,- but carves out its own - course. Were you not delighted to see - this .tuark of geitius in. the redioubtable Colonel ?- Witness his hold, original snd beatitifil Orthograiphy-his lofty contempt, sir, of Lindley Murray and -all his pitiful rules aboIr Syniax and Prosody.- Mark .ow they. all -vanish before the. pen of the Valiant Colonel. Lest however in yourad mUation for.the substance you may hav 'oiitted. to admire tho drapery4. I *ill at tempt to collet. for the benefit of your readers..a few of-the many gems thich lie scattered.through this literary min'e. The retioned C'ol.

It was ihusclearly tht Juostice lloimes acqluired his, for we k lnow~ that suchl learning is not to be found in the-books. Upon reading these Resolutions, as is any habit,.I fell-to musing uponi the motives which.influience mani ini his coturse through life. Iasked msyself, what motive is that whui cotild indtiee a men, .voluntarily, . to expose his own ignorance, and hold hinm --self tip to public scorn and ridictule ?

You confess then, tiht you were denouneing men tir difirine w'itl you on a question of which you were pro. foundly ignorant. "Trul'y, a- mighty nrn has fallen in Israel." I sincerely.. sir, com miserate your situation. I would it iere so you could be spared this castigatioin! But public policy frorbids it. You havi thrown down the gauntlet. You have liad the strange indiscretion of holding yourself forth. as a statesman, comspetent to direct public opinion. You have d]one more; you. have denounced the cotirse pursued by our Representatives as "unprecedented, uncon stittitional and unwise." You have resolved to proscribe every one who does not entbr tain the same conslittitional doctrines as yourself. Whait right then have you to complain when you arc in sturn assailed ? If your ignorance hass been exposed and you are held up to ridienle, with what pro priety (an you murmtr? Are you not the aggressor ? Ilad :ou remained with us in the station of a private citizen, I should have been the last on earih to wound your feelings on account of a difference of opin ion. But, sir, when you voluntarily leuive us to become a pvoliieiano-w hen for dhe pur pose of giving y*ourself poinioence, you are dictating to others and degrading your Dis trict-w. hen you are attempting to rouse popular prejudice. and commence throw. ing fire-brandp and raising the cry of pro scription, I feel it my solenu duty as as man and a citizen of Edgefield, regardlesb of cont sequences. to rebuko such conduct anud to hold it up in its naked deformity to the pubt-. lie gaze. I am a citizen of the District, and as deeply interested in its welfare as you are; I have the same right to enter- - tain and express uy opinion,, that yost have, upon all matters of legislation, and.I am not to be detered by any base feeling of self interest or personal pe-ril. You, sir, .think yourself competent to direct public opinion in this .District. I difli~ with you. The people will jtdge. bet%%een us.. To their decree I will.slubmit most- cheerfully.

EDITOR: If the conscionshess ofthe.proud.position which South Carolina occupies attong her sisters, affords me a high gratification as a Caroliniin, wha.t mus. be my feelings as a1 Nullifier. of Edgefield. when J reflect that hat District has by its intelligence and in dlependence-by tihe singleness and-deputh of its devotioni to the Staste, been eitefly iri st rumental in elevating hter to her present pre-emitnentce. To .what ca~n we turiltute the-unrivall ed reputations wvlich S.

A desire to perpettuate it as well ais a belief, that it is the imptersous duty of every son of Carolina, so preserve the es cutcheon of htis State, as carefully ais he would his own, free fromt btlot or blemtish, has determtined me to make sthe followinig commlaent on Col.-Hlolmses' II esol utios.
