ZDGEFIELD CAl.' DNSDAY AUGUST 14. 844. WJe will cing to'the Pillars ofthe Tenple of ourLibertes.andtfif mustfall,we0tillPers amitst thb Ruins." Democratic Re-Annexation Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT. JAMES K. POLK. of Tennessee. FOR VICE. PRESIDENT. GEORGE. M. DALLAS, of Penn. flevia.-Ak letter received in this village 'from'the Mount Veriion Camp Meeting. states that there had been a considerable rivival, and that many souls had been happily converted, about forty 'of which had been already added to the M. E. Church. The meeting was very large, and still in progress, oil Monday evening last.* The lWhig Meeting at Madison Georgia. Is it true that there is no longer any patriotism in the land I Is there no honesty, no consisten cy in public men? Has it come to this, that our politicians in subserviency to party tactics, are bound to advocate to-day, measures, which they denounced yesterday? We have been led to these reflections, from hearing, that at this meeting, Messrs. Preston and Thompson, who were leading Nurlliers in 1832, who by their eloquent denoncia'tions of the- Tariff of that period. aroused our people to resistance, even at the expense of-the Union, if needs be, open. ly advocated in their public speeches the Tariff -of 1842. We confess that nothing has more deeply impressed us with the conviction of the political degeneracy of the times, than this fact. The lesson deduced from it is, that party is strenger than principle, and somaepublic men are net to be trasged. Unless the eyes of the South era people.and indeed of all the people of these United States are speedily opened to the dan gers which threaten us. from this quarter, we know not how our liberties are to be saved. Mr. Calhoun.-We publish to-day the letter from onr distinguished statesman to the editor of the Petersburg (Va.) Republican, in reply to the charge that lie was unfriendly to the Union. The letter breathes the same spirit of devoted attachment to our free federative sys tem of Government, which has ever rarked and signalized the life of its author. If the Federal Government is administered with "jus tice, equity and a strict adherence to the Con stitution." There is no man in the limits of South Carolina, who would not peril his life at any moment in its defence.- We always be. lieved when South Carolina nullified the Ta riff, that the charge of a design on the part of her leading statesman to dissolve the Union, was wholly destituteoffoundation. We thought thO that Mr. Calhoun was actuated by a dee p and patriotic attachment to the Union, and that his great purpose w to restore the Con stitution, and perpetuate the confederacy upon the basis on wvhich it was originally established. T~hat Mr. Calhoun would counsel the State to pursue a course now in reference to thte Tarit, which would compromise her honor or result in perpetuating upon her the oppression of that iniqulitious system ofjplunder, may be insinuat ed, but certainly cannot be believed. In his profound sagacity, in liis steru integrity, and deep devotion to South Carolina we have an abiding confidence. We are not informed, nordo we pretend to know certainly what are Mr. Calhoun's views as to the course wvhich the State ought to pursue at this time in reference to the Tariff. But we are confident that the policy of awaiting the result oftile Presidential election, before any action is takein; meets his apploval. We regret that any portion of the people of the State should be -inclined to-ear liez action, as we cannot-see the reason for it. We deplore even the faintest prospect of any division in the State, on this subject. Let there be no division. Let us act in harmony. Let us by a short forbearance show our friends in the surrounding States that we are acting with themn in good faith. And if there should be no change in 'the Federal councils bringing us re lief, then let us act together, and acting thus~ wre shall have a better chance of throwing off the systein of plunder of which we complain.. We cannot close this article without expresslag the sincere pain wvith which we have observed, in a certain quarter, from which we least ex pected it, insinn~ations of "defection in our lea ders." We tell our friends that their course is .calculated to do much injury; and that'they know nothing of the feeling, of ~the people throughot't the State, If they suppose that such insinuations of desertion Otn the part of our "h elmsman" will be believed ; and that they judge rashly if they concluded such a conlrse, on their part, is calculated,to do any thing else, than to irritate and distract our ranks. South Carolina and the Tariff.--Tbe position of this State, at this time, in reference to. the *Turiff is misrepresented and misunderstood abroid. The whig presses, whig orators, and their great leader Mir. Clay himself, have andea-. vored-to ' ical capitalout of certaini in. dividual sen meats expressed in t his State, in .reference to the Tariff, Texas and the Union. From these,, the charge is deduced that the State is now ripe for Disanion,iuaidMr. Polk is held responsible for this nonsequences. It is 'needless for us to say that~ ins South Carolina this charge requires no denial. 1Jd for ihe sake of truth and our cause abroad we under. take to say that South Carolina has entered in-; to the Presidential contest in good faith. Sihe believed Mr. Polk to bo a staunch Free Trade' man, and worthy to be trusted. She feels th'e oppression of thg TarIff, and does not inte ivi to submit to it. 'She will do all in her power to anenrae thn mnei. of te. Deoratic.,:tr....-. id will not. take it for granted now, that from thatsuccess she has no hope of relief. She will do all that is in her power to procure re lief by a change in the councils-of the nation. She will await the result patiently and calmly. Slie will not take any measure of an extreme, or what is called udtra character for a redress of her wrongs, until all hope in every other way is cut off. We think we speak the senti ment of the State, when we say that she will in good faith act with our Democratic brethren in the approaching election. that looking confi dently to our success, she hopes for relief, from the justice of the Democratic party, and that failing in this, bho will thn take that course which as a sovereign State it may be come her to adopt. She cannot Ie indifferent to the symiatsy and co-operation of her sister States in like condition, and she will act in conjunction with them, or alone, as circumstan ces may demand. State Cattle Sho.-The Greenville Moun taineer states that the semi-annual neetinir of the State Agricultural Society is to be held at that place on the 10th of September. It is pre sumed that Delegates from District Socielies will be in attendauce from neatly every part ol the State; and the exhibition of Stock, should the weather prove favorable, will be very large. The Agricultural Society of Greenville Dis trict has concluded to award Premiums for stock owned by its members at the same time which will add no little to the interest of the scene. New Cotton.-The Cl'arleston Patriot of the 9th inst, says: "Two bales ofthe new crop being the first in Market this season, was re ceived by the Rail Road, this morning, from the Platation of U. At. Robert, Esq., Barnwell District, and consigned to Elisha Carson.' Ourself.--Haviug a few leisure moments, we have come to the conclusion to lay before our readers some of:he causes why the editor of the Harnburg Journal has, for some time past, acted so unbecoming the dignity of an editor towards us. We do this, not with a view of an swering his unparrallelled blackguardism, but to show the world, that this district contains a thing, at the head of a press, that would stoop to any means to carry his point. Until the ap pearance of ",Carolina," in our columns, for aught we knew, we were npon the best terms Upon the appearance of the second or third communication from that writer, the editor ad dressed us a friendly note, requesting the name of the author, which we (belonging to that class that can keep a secret,) declined giving, think ing at the time we answeted his letter, that its contents was, or at least should have been so on his part, confidential; but to our surprise, a portion of it appeired in his next journal, as a part of his vindication in an answer to "Caro lina;" from that moment, we acknowled-ge, we began to think lie had not acted in good faith, and his course towards us since has convinced us, that their is not one iota of the dignity and generosity which ought to characterize the course of an editor belonging to him. Having been severely handled by ' Carolinas," lie, for the purpose of drawing the atention ofhis ren. ders from the shameful defeat lie had suffered, commenced with his accustomed blackzuardistn upon our humble self, and the more effectually to punish us, as he thought, by taking from us the mainstay of our support, lie published his long to be remembered, half price card, think' ing, no doubt, that the high tminded ntlicers of our district. were,like himself, easily bousght o'er, but in this lie was as badly deceived as the soldier when lie burnt his shirt ; his bait was tnt of the riught kind, our Court Ilouse is. and we have a hone always will be, too large to contain hue lhalf pricc tackies. Finding that lie was sorely disappoinited ini the mannier which thsat base and utnanly at tetupt to injure aucceeded. Ite became wrathy, and like the adde~r knawed uipon the file. until the appearance ini our columns of a conimutni catioii over the signature ,f "No Coast,'' which, fronm the manner in which heO spit outhis black guard epithets, must have touched a tender point-lie raved-accused us of writing the ir ticle, stealing lead from the gutters safour neigh bors houses at miidnight, to pay for our establish ment. aiid in fact of every thing that a dishion estuman could be guilty of, save that of clhent ingour creditors by the benefitof the Baiikrupt Law, wthich lie knew would have beeni too no torious a lie to have published Alt of which we unequivocally proinounce to he a he, and call upon him, if he is an honest man, to prove it. We have lived twenty years in this district, and have never, as yet. beeni accused of wrong ing aty man of a copper, have always. through odand bad times, strove in pay ourjust debts, if we took a long time to do it, without ever tising fraudulenit means to obtain a release. When about 8 or 10 years of age. whilst going to school in the city of Savanni'h, we in con nexion with a number of boys about our owni age, took fromi the roof of the Academy, upon which we got by means of the lightning cosi dictor, some scraps of lead, for which we and those connected with us in the transaction pro uored'some coppers woith of gingerbread or wate~elons, this was done in broad daylight, aidithis. we presume, as we often spoken ofrthe circumstance, is the story of the lead in full, as some of those who were concerned in the trans action; are now living in this district and wil hung totestify to thietruth of the tale. Had the editor of the Jourisal the manly principle that he ought-to possess, he would tell the story of th'e lead correctly, bitt we have no right to ex pect him to* be canght teling the truth. We have. paid for our office by the sweat of our brow, aiid not by die proceeds ofthtat lead, or kissing the ' "calfskin," nor have we ever accused th'e editor of purchasing the establish menttover which he so ably presides for $10; ifonricodtespadent " No Coon." who appear ed to be ikte editor's secrets, did. That we acesed hinofbeinga"Rot" we will not deny; but, had we for a momaeat thought, we altouold not have ever given him that titde, as he is not a practifuietr, .therefore cannot come under that ajpellatist, bad as it is, but should -have been riy (at he really is, an halfpn-ce jack legged edi 'bect to the whims of a Dicta tor.

EDGEFIELD CIRCOIT QUARTERLY NEETINo. At the third Quarterly Conference of the Edgefield Circuit. held at Monnt Vernon Camp Meeting on the 91h day of August, 1844, after the usual business of'the Conference was trans acted. the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas the majority of the members of the State General Conference represetiing non slaveholding States, have by their-action oil the subject of slavery, as connected with the cases of the Rev. T. A. Harding and BishopAndrew, have violated the compromise which has long united the Northern and Southein portions of tile Methodist Episcopal Church, and thereby maniifeeted a spirit of hostility and proscriptIon, dangerous to out .:ivil and religious institu tions; and wheteas, we the members of the Quarterly Conference ofthe Methodist Episco pal Church for the Edgefield Circuit, deem it our duty and priviledge to expresm freely and calnly our opinions oin matters involving the interests and prosperity of our beloved Church, therefore, Resolved, That we consider slavery as it ex ists in these United States, a civil institution, and in no way conitray to or in violation of the Disciplinle of the Methodist Episcopal Church nor the word of God. Resolved, That although we deeply lantent there should have ariaen any just caust of divi sion bdtween the Northern and Southern por tions of our Church, which have been long uni ted by the strongost ties of Christian union, yet we believe the time has now come and circum stances have arisen, when that union can no < longer be preserved without violating our con sciences and surrendering our dearest rights. Resolved, That our Delegates from the South and those from non-slaveholding States who acted with themn, are entitled to our warmest thanks and gratiude fot the firm and faithfal stand which they took in tile late General Con ference, in defence of oir rights as guaranteed to us by onr Book of Discipline, and sustained by the word of God. Resolved, That we approve of the terms of division agreed upon, and tn order that they imay be carried ont to a happy termination. we recommend to all parties to cultivate a spirit of Christian charity and forhearance towards each other, and a constantreliance on the great head of the Church, for wisdom to direct in all our delib-rations. Resolved, We approve of 'he contemplated Convention to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, otn tie first day of May, 1845, for the purpose of organizing a Soihern Chtrch. and recom iend to our next annual Conference to elect Delegates to attend said Convention. Resolved, rhat we highly appr ove of the firni and dignified course of Bishop Andrew, in re fusintg to subinit to thle dictation of the tmajuri ty of thte General Conferenee. ilesolved, That our beloved senior Bishop So'ule. is entitled to our warmest thatnks for the magnlanimonts course lhe took in the General Conference itn favor of the South, and should lhe come South to reside amlonlgst us, wec as sure him a cordial reception. After the adoption of the above preamble and resoluttions, ~ onmotion, it was resolsed, that they be published in the Southern Christiain Advocate, the Edgefield Advertiser, and Ham hurg Journal, and that the Preacher ini chanrge (If thte Edgefield Circuit be furnished witht a copy., to he laid before eacht Society ofthe Me thtodist E piscopal Church, of the Edgelleld Cir cuit for their approval.

We were no great admirers of a notorious lawv passed ] at the memorable extra session of Congress. which may be styled it debt-sponge, and we therefore never examined minutely its details; we had cotncluded however that justice regnired the rule to work both ways-the debts owing to the individual availing himself of the benenits of its pro visions were cancelled as wrell as, those he owed. We may be mistaken, and the 84 00 may be due somewhere. He in sists that the money shall be "forked up1 forthwith."

From the Abbeville anuer. Never& perhaps ini the hisIory of our country, ^has there been a period, when therewcr," so moapathy, andm indifr ces manifestid by the majority of, - cit sns, upon the great questions of the day .s at the present time. Many are folding heir arms to. themselves and saying "peace >eace ! ! we are in no danger; our institu ions shall remain unchanged"-when the xperienco of every day teaches us the ontrary, that we should be vigilent, and ;uard against the attacks that are already nade upon us-that we are in minority. Lod subject to theldictates, and control, of t domineering majority, who look alone to their own interest,gand who closejtheir .yes to justice and equity. Texas has aked of us thatqthelfortunes of the lone star should be united to ours, and hasamet with a repulse by this same majority who iad scruples about treaty obligations, or involving the country in a body war with mounted scare-crows o -SMexieo, or of ex tending the territory and such like flimsey 3lbjections. which will answer for objection lone, but never can stand the test of ar gument. That the North is serious in her )hjections to extending the goverinnent. we are convinced; for the annexation of rexas would destroy;the political prepon Jerance which is now in her favor, and -stablish the South upon an equal fooling with ber-hence her bitter opposition to the measure. And such were her motives in >pposing the acquisition of Louisiana, and always when there is a chance for destroy ng the balance of power which now is iers. Upon the subject ofAbolition the South eems disposed to be silent, and to disre ;ard too much, the efforts that are now eing made a t the North, to abolish slavery ,vith us, when there is evidence sufficient no to convice any rational man, that they ire gaining ground, and that England is isiog her influence to assist them, in car -ying on this work of devils in our land. [t is time we should give. thesefalse phil zntrophists these gems of humanity in the Iorth, and their insolvent coadjutor, En ,land, to understand in tones of thunder hat our institutions are to remain Uitouck d. The course of Southern whigs would to a matter of surprise to us, that there lways have been, and always wvill be, in ,very party and government, a no small iumber wholare traitorous to themselves atid their country-where are they then vith the-exception ofa few upon this vital Ittestion ? do they know where they are 1 ill they say with their whig brother John ),. Adams that "Slavery is an iniquitous hing-that no christian people could be :onnected with it as it exists in the South -let abolition come if it destroy the lives >f five hundred million of Southern pen >le." Let them then beware and consid r the position they occupy, for they are ,iving their influence to those who endorse hese sentiments, and are avowedlencmies o Southern institutions.
