POLITICA!. From the South Carolian. Extract from a letter dated-. Edgefield C. H.. Sept.20th, 1844. Barbecue to Col. Burt at Lexington C111. -1 would have writen Ifro'm 'exington C. H.,of the Barbeeue~given at that place on Wednesday last, to the- Hon. Armstead Brut, but that-I had to leave there so ear ly in the afternoon for this place, as not to have an oppotunity to do so. The occasion was a highly interesting .one-the assem blge unanimously admitted to be the tar ever know in the District-the tpeech TA WOlmp.'Burt a remarkably able,"instruc -4 pd effective one-the approval ofit tmously, so far as I heard-the Bar bi;'.Ma. bountiful and excellent one-the reg ular toats, (which alone I heard,) full Sof'point a'nd joodjse-and the spirit of of the peope .boldf aly. and uni ted.

Burt's speech as delv d . e Itrge .church to vhicli at. 12 o'clock Cl B. waq attented by Gen Quattlebun and46e members 'generally' of the Cinmiitteef Arrangements.'.. T he church was crowv Aed, in the area below, and the Galleries above, and inciuded'a large number ofla -dies, -residents of the village and the coun - try around; and probably not more than two-thirds of the 'people got inside of it. 'Col. Burt. after being introduced to the audience by Gen. Quadlebum, made a speech of about an hour or more, which. commanded an attention eainest, unani nous, and unbroken, as I ever saw.-accor -ded to any one; and well did it deserve it, for one more sound, able, instructive, .ad -well.iimed, I have seldom if ever listened to. 1 had heard Col. B. before, while he was'a member of the Legislature, and ex .pected much from him, but he far excee 'ded my expectations-not so much how -ever, in the polished beauty and eloquence -of hisaddress, for lie made no effort to do so, 'nor-any appeal to the passions of' his audi 'ence, though occasionally. in recitiag the deep and long-persevered in wrongs and 'oppressions endured by his Steze and the South, the true spirit of indignant freedom burst firth most eloquently. and seemingly irresistibly, in spite of all eflbrt to repress it. ;His appeal was to the intelligence, rea son, and judgment of his hearers, and in this he -whs not most successful. He pre seated- a rapid sketch of the history of the protective policy, and exposed its rank -and terrible i'njustice and oppression in an array of facts most starlin-g and impressive An abler or more instructice display of the statistics of the Tariff qiestion can scarcely be -conceived. From that ques tion he passed to lhe Aholition bhe,. and after impressively developing the injustice arrogance, and outrage involved in.it, urged upon the people frequent 'coutisel and consideration among themselves, both as to their wrongs and their remedies; and to strive ernestly and zealously . for. har mony, concert, and uniion. not only among themselves, but the people -generally of the South, who suffered alike. with them selves, ih the common lotf intolerable outrage and oppression. ,'.-As a measure naturally tesultingfrom tis prudent and wise couns1, he recommended a Southern Convention, and that no pains should be spared to attain it; and declare the firm conviction that such a baody would by a firm united demand upon out Northern and 'Eastern confederates for a redress of -our great wrongs and grivances, succeed in attaining it. He desired. however, not in any way embarrass our Democratic brethren in the present contest for the Presidency, . and recommended a unani mnous support of their candidates, believing that a moderate and calm consideration of and preparation for a Soutthern Conven tio'n need in no way to interfere with the Presidential election,~or anay efforts on the part of the Democratic party, if suc-essful, to do juctice to the people of the South. His graceful, dignified and impressive matiner, combined w~ith thze full clear tones of his manly voice, and distinict aud correct enunciations, greatly aided his ale and ell'ective arguments, and rendered his speech eminetly creditable both to himself and hia constituents, who wvith the State generally, may well be proud of him as a Representative. The apparently unanimously approba tion of the speech, the profoutid attention iven to it throughout, the applause of -those portions -which mentioned most atrdtogly their wrongs and their remedies, alad their general and enthusiastic com ments on it afterward, and. denuncia tions of the Tariff and'.-Abolition, 'all plainly show that the pe'ople of Legington are ful *ly prepared 'to sustain' the State .in any measures that may' be deemed necessary or advisable in the austaiment of her honor her interests, and he~r principles, and the redress of the ,utastrous:' wrongs she has so lng and patiji~g rne. Such, too, appears to be the character of the people ofits State genrlly, 'with the .exception of one or two districts' only,) as far as I - have heard from it, and have had good op porttinities of doing so within a few weeks past. The leading men are opposed to press ingimmediato resistance during the canvass for the Presidency, and unnecessaray irri tating-their |Democratie- brethren, andi em barrassing their efforts, and affording them any excuse or pretence in ease of success, for reftising to do them justice ; but when the election is over, they will be fully at lib erty .to make preparations for redress, and, if the Democratic party- hesitate to redeem its pledges, to carry them into ef fect. The people,: who would, mostly move at once if urged, readily yield to -those-counsels, hiut have no idea of ulti - mate submission, as time will show. After the speech of Col. Burt the assem blage retired from the Church 'to a beauti ful grove on the opposite side of the vill lage, where a fine Barbecue, prepared by the Committee of Arrangements, was most bountifully and hospitably spread out. Col. West Caughraan, an intelli gent and estimable -'citizens and true bearted patriot, presided, while the Vice Presidents I did not see, in consequence of the.-length of the table, and dence inter vening crowd. When the -company had' done full justice to the excellent Barhecue, the regular Toasts ,were read, and were mostly very good,..exhihiting more'real force and point than'i*. usually met with in such, matters. Among-them w as a just 'rteto en pubnnlic worth of their. highly respective Representative and guest. Col. Bitr, tolgb be rgpLied: inthe hriefhrut' rfelciou terms. Volunteer oats were then given, .and Col. Boozer, the worthy Senator District responded io-one in Just compliment to him, in an able speech. iii which h6 handled the Tariff & Abolition ism Without gloves and .paid a warm and well-merited compliment- to the pubic worth and services of Col. Burt, whicih was enthusiastically cheered. Gen. Qu. tilebum, a popular, able and efficien Rep resentative of the District was then called out by one I could not hear-, and I had to regret that circumstances compelled me to leave at the moment, and deprived me of the pleasure of bearing him, or the re mainder of the paoceedings. From the Floridian. Mr. Editor-It is truly said that a single fact is worth more- than all the argument that can be adduced in favor of the most plausible theory-hence the advocates of th3 present Tariff usually resort to the lat ter mode of sustaini ig doctrines, - which, when examined with. care, is seen and felt to he so destructive of the interest of the whole-agricultural and staple communities, ROw is it that any'-men. residing in the South, and especially the planter, can ad vocatetihe "odious-black whig tarifaof'42," 1.r'aniot for the life of we conceive, unless it be thie46y permit prejudice (I will not say ignoiance) to warp their judgments, or that they had rather "reign in hell than serve in heaven?' To. illustrate the op pression of theiarif, "one of tle great links in-the system of whig measures." as asserted'by Mr; Clay, I offer the following comparison of the prices of such articles as are used by-the planter and agriculturist. under the -late aundpresent tariff laws. Let me ask. any. gentleman engaged in these pursuits, whetheeiis; cotton, &c., is not now-lower, whlstallthat he has to buy is much higheri than in: any previous year ? Surely there mnust lel. cause for this, and will any whig casuist- hereafter dare say that whilstcotton is lower, and every man ufactured article used -by the planter is higher, ihat the planting interest is not bur dened by it almost past endurance? Surelv a Government, instituted for the benefit of the whole. people, is grosrly ad ministered Whilit-'mitkiag and enforcing such a law as the piresent tariff, benefitting as it . does,.:oly.. about dne fourth of our people. whilst the.remaining three-fourths are ground to* powder by. its unjust and unrighteous.jrovisions.

I trust not, I cannot believe you. These are American manfactured goods; now show the existing tariff otn each kind, and let the farmer, mechanic, and laboring. man, see who it is that are so greatly hen. eitted by the present unequal tariff'. Now, one word more. 'If you go to a manufacterer and ask him the reason he asks 15 cents a yard for calicoes hte can sell at a profit at 10 cents a yard, he imn mediately replies that you can't impmort them at the present prohibitory~ tariff for less.

The whole course of federal .legislation is such a sweeping insult to South Caroli nians, that we care very little about the barking of the puppies of monopoly, and will therefore confess that there is an ap p-ropriateness in the above motto, of which the writers were perhaps not aware, As applied of late. and for a long time by the Benton's and Adams'es, the name of trai tor is a designation of honor, and we answer to it with pride-and there is hemp for us, but it issent to us in the spirit.of the thief but not of the execuiwner.

We have heard wonder and: regret ex pressed by some that since the failure to repeal the tariff'of '42, Mr. Calhoun has not been heard from on the subject by his political friends and the public. We have no authority for our opinion. having held no correspondence with Mr. Calhoun since he weit to Washington, but we think a little reflection will be sufficient to satisfy all, that the reason of his silence is to be found in the station which he .now occu pies. Called to it most unexpectedly to himself, at a time when questions of great moment were to be committed to his im mediate charge-his appointment sanc tioned by a unanimous vote ofrthe Senate, without even the usual formality of a ref erence-and urged to aceept by all par. ties, he could not refuse his services to the country. We have no doubt, that he feels as deeply as any, the injustice.of the leg istion complained of, and that his whole heart is wtih the south on this question. As Secretary of State. he is arduously en gaged in the discarge of his duty, and at this moment, probably, the Oregon ques tion is the subject of correspondence and negociation between the Department and the British Minister. At . a .proper time, we have no doubt Mr. Calhouqwill again be heard from on the subject ofthe tariff, and it will not be like some "who once called themselves the frien.4 or State, rights, and advocates of free trade, as an apologists for the act.

Prom the Charleston Mercury; JuDGE CaEymE' LETTER. We begin to see the efiect.of this noble appeal to Southern feeling among our high-spirited neighbors of Georgia% The Savannah Georgian is republishing it, and and Augusta Constitutionalits, one of the most,discret as well as one of the staunch est of the Southern presses, introduce i, with the following comtnents. We are obliged to exclude again from our columns much editorial and selected matter, in order to give entire the admira ble and able let ter of Mr. Cheves. It ad dresses itself to every- southorit man; and notwithstanding its greet length it will no doubt be read with that attention which it deserves. Mr. Cheves, after. havingoc cupied some of the highest stations in tbe country, and discharged. his public duties with high reputation and credit to himself and immense benefit to the country,hes re tired to private life. He has observed the pe sent crisis in our political affairs; his patri otism would not allow him to remain si lent and ho has spoken. His country men cannot fail to appreciate his motives and the purity.of his intentions in thus addressing himself to them on the great questions of the day. It is to be hoped that his wvarnings and his recommendations will sink deed in the heart of every true Aterican and southbern man. At a meeting ofseveral citizens at Effingham,. Darlington District, the following among other resolutions were passed. As to the Tariff. Resolved, That we consider a tariff for protection hostile to the federal constitu tion as well as- the libeirties of the people and calculated to destroy our excellent system of government, and that we will by all due means, constantly and n weariedly continue to oppose such a policy. As to the unanmity of.State Action. Resolved, That concurrence of opinion and unanmity of septimerit are htighly itm portant and should -be secured by the citi zens of -our State, in order to accomplish any great political measure. We there fore do hereby expresti our disapprobation of a Southern Convention, or any other political manoeuvre got up with a view to a severance of. our Uniotr at present, with the OLD THERTEE1N and other States which -have by THiEs been received into the same confederacy and euipecially with the receollection fresh :o1 our minds of the almost last . words of tile father of our country, "frown down-in the bud any and every attempt -at the. 'se'verance of the Union." As to the Tenure of the 0Ofce of our Judges Resolved, Tliat we approve vf the stop taken by the last Legislature in reference to the Tenure of the Office of the Judges f our State, believing that if some incon venience may -attend the contemplated change, yet we are of opiniotn that at sixty five years of age, in many inustances both the physical and mental powers of man become enfeebled. - -The following gentlemen who are can didates -for Congres and the State Legis laireaddressed the meeting, andgave their vie ws - on the foregoing resoluittons: George W.

FOR ViCI PRESIDENT. ^ GEORGE 31. DALLAS. of Penn. In consequence of the great length of Judge Cheves' letter, which mtkes nearly nine co. lumns, we have been compiled to otiit our usual variety of matter. We have also been forced to leave ont many Advertisements, this week. which will be attended to in our next. The Fall Term of the GourtofCommon Pleas and General Sessions, for Edgefield, District, will commence its session in this Village on Monday next. His Honor Judge Wardlaw will preside. We respectfully call the attention of our readers ton Communication signed "H." and hope they will all examine into the subject which the writer has so ably handled. We know the writer to be a practical Farmer, and one who can handle the pen as well as the plough. We hope he will continue the exam ination of the odious Whig Tnrriff, and let the People see all its deformities. For some time past, we have had iome very warm days for the time of year. On Friday night last, however, a sudden change took place. It commenced raining between 9and 10 o'clock P. M1., and continued until about 4 o'clock Sit urday evening. Since then, the air has been quite cold, rendering woollen clothing necessa ry for our health and comfort. On Sunday, Monday arid Tuesday mornings, we had slight fhosts, which did considerable damage to all the vegetation on low, flat grounds.- We rear that the crops of peas and potatoes, which are al ready short, will be cut still shorter by Jack Frost. It will be seen by the Proclamation ofthis Excellency the Governor of South Carolin, that tomorrow the 3rd'inst.,.is appointed as a day of Thanksgivitigi Humiliation and Prayer, througthout the State. At all times, it highly becomes as as citizens and as Christians to pay a proper respect to a Proclamation of this character, emanating from the Chief Magistrate of our Stale. It well be. comes us to assemble on the day appoi 'ipi.@..in our respective Churches or oilier suitablerplaces, to returit our sincere thanks to that Grdarlirig, in whose hands are the destinies of n-ations, for the manifold blessings which he has'i14ird upon as, as individuals and as a Goqvyermnt. In the present critical condition of affairs which obtains throubout the country, and in South Carolina, particularly, a day of Thansgiving, Humiliation and Prayer is peculiarly iinpor taut. It befits us to humble ourselves into the dust, before the Almighty Disposer of events. and to pray him siincerely, to deliver tts from the dangers which e.ncomnpass gus. Let us resovle on thisday. asinidividuals and as a pen ple, to conisecrate ourselves anew to our God and our Country, and we twill obtain a happy issue out of all our trials. General Andrew Jackson has recently writ ten an able letter, on the subject of Texas,..to Moses Dawson, Esq. We regret,. that its length excludes it from ouircolumnis. The Gen eral argues most forcibly in favor oif aninexa tion int a pecuniary, military and religiousz point of view. He shows conclusively, that its ac quisition is of momentons importance to the South and exceedingly beneficial to the whole Union- What a contrast betwveen this bold, straight forward, and honest letter of the old soldier, and the recent taimming, vacillating a pistle of Henry Clay. The one shows himself at once in favor of annexation, whilst the other is evidently slining his sail to thie breeze, and says that lie will be guided by the state of pub. lie opinion at the time he enters upon the offie of Preuidenit, should lie be elected. These may not be his precise words, but they are substan tially what he said. We had hoped better things of Henry Clay. It is difficult to say now, what his opinion reaUly is. on the subject of annexa tion, but we believe that it is againir it. Mr. Editor.-In a short excursion to the Glenn Springs, from which I have recently re turted, I passed through portions of the Dis. tricts of Edgefield, Laurens, Spartanburg, Un ion, and along the road dividing Laurenis from Newberry. The aspect or the crops on the road side was very unfavorable, and I was in* formed, that they presented a pretty f'.ir sam ple of the crops generally through the country. These were some exceptiotns, it is true. btt they were like the Oases in the desert, few in number. The excessive drought and heat had operated upon the corn and cotton a m'osr disastrous influence, and to such an extent, that halferops only would be gathered. rTe fibre of the cotton wvas injured by the same causes, which diminished thn a aount qf.production, so that the proportion of the lint to the seed,.as I was informed, was less than in good years. Notwithstantding the diminution of the pro. dictioni in the crops to one-half of the usual amount, these Districts w~ll, nevertheless, have a sufficiency of provision for their supply un til the next crop. -This Is owink to fine wi eat, crops, with which they have been favored, and a large quantity of old corn on haind.,.

Respectfully yours. Edgefield C. H., Sept. 28th, 1844, We regret, that in consequence of the very great press or matter, we cannot publish inour columns, several letiers written by gentlemen who were invited to the dinner recentlygiven at Barnwell Court House to Mr. Rhett. We can only state in the brierest possible manner, the conclusions to which they have severally come, about 8atie interposition at this time, without giving any of their arguments. If it should be in our power in a short time, to pub lish some of their letters, or extracts from them, we will do so. Mr. Win. C. Martin in his lettersays, ' I will only add. that I am in favor ofthe call of a Con vention at ths next session of the Legislature, to wiich may properly be left the mode and measure of redress." The Hon. W. F. Colcock says, --1, for one, desire to hear, the untram eled voice of the people throughout the State on the main question. I desire to know. if they are of the same faith and the same purpose a they were in 1832. when all were agreed that the Tariff was un constitutional aud oppressive and ought to be overthrown. I, wish to take nothing upon trust-nothing upon the faith or cre dit of any. mno, I want no endorsers for the people, I desire to hear their own voi ces in their primary assemblies answering this. question--Do you believe the pro tective system to be unconstitutional op. pressive. and are you resolved sooner or later to resist it at everyhazard " -'Let this question be considered. now, and answered now,. and I would be con ient ,toyi.eld-my opinions as to-the expe diency of immediate action." -Col.

I am for no move by the State. nor can I see the necessity of- agitating State interposition just at this-time." Gen.

South Carolina should'then firmly but de cidedh' redeem her pledges." Gen. P. Quattlebum says. . "I am among those who have some faith in the election of Mfr.
