RISU ELLANEOUS.__ From the. Hamburg Reublican OUR PRINCIP ES. It is due to the public, whose patronage we respectfully solicit, to make, on this our first appearance, a briefepitome of the political principles po which y.epro pose-to conduct our journaf. We are opposed to a National Bank, as unconstitutional and inexpedient. We are opposed to the system of local internal: rinprovements by the Federal veroninet; a system practised b.y the ad eaies ofra Protective Tariff, with a d abl~e view to an unequal appropriation ordthe.Public money to unconstitutional objctse and the creation, by exhausting the public treasury, of a greater necessity for h1id uties. We regard the distirbution of -the pro ceeds of.the public lands as inipoltic, un just, and violative of. the: varions.:deeds of cession ; all of which: indidatethe plain proposition, that- the States yielded up their extensive domai:ns to be used:;for'the common joint benefit of all the States as:a General Government, and not to be:distri buted among the several - States for- their individual purposes. We denounce that other innovatfing spirit Whig policy-the limitatien or abrogation of tie Veto power-as unwise, and des tructive of thoat system of checks and: bal ances which fori so striking a feature of our .Federal Constitution, and which is one of its most salutary. -provisions. - It Is plainly a proposition so to limit and res trict, as to amount to .an abolition of the constitutionial power of the Presidentof the U. States to veto any bill which may pass the two Houses of Congress. Grant-this innovation, and you break down one of most important of its many safeguards against an absoldte consolidation of- all govermeut power in the'hands-ofour 'ede federal rulers. This attained. the spirit of innovation, to be consistent, -vould deprive the Senate of its constitutional power to arrest the current of improper legislation in - the House of Representatives. For that is likewise in the way of the alledged absolute will of the people, as ascertained in the House. Thus the beautiful systefr of checks and balances in our Federal Government, which originated in the wis dow of our ancestors, and which are the only palladinm of -sectional interest and staterights, would be converted into a con solidated power, to be exercised as the selfishness of a tyranical majority might dictate. A Protective Tariff is unjust and unconalt. -ntional. We are the advocate of a tariff arranged solely with a view to revenue, upon those minimum rates of duty which wiill raise revenue sufficient to defray the expeuses of an economical admistration of the Government. But instead of a tariff for revenue only. in accordance with the unequivocal stipulations of the Comprise Act of 1833. the Whig party in 1842 enac ted the most odious system of impost du ties-ever,imposed upon the people, save that of 1828, so justly styled the bill of abominations. Yea, more odious still-in that-it was bassed upon violated faith and stipulated honor! It is "an act insuffera ble and insulting oppression, which ought to be borne only until it can bejudicinusly resisted." % &s us-0 C -consteratinn xr e time, mode, and measure of redress; in this manifesto of our principles we do not propose to ourself to -discuss measures, but simply indicate our own course, as it were by giving an outline. Thoie are',ther questions of magnitude asnd vital import ance to us involved in the great contest which is now being waged betwveen the parties-Democratic and Whig-for political ascendency. We refer to the A bolition and Texas questions. We do notcharge Mr. Clay, the WVhig can didate, with being a politicar abolitionist, but he is opposed to the annexation of Texas to the United States. The abolitionists are opposed however, to annexation; on the ground that it will add to the United States slave territory. and givo greater security to our slave itnstitut ion. T1hey aire dispo sed, therefore, to vote for Mr. Clay, as *-available, however different his reasons *may be for his opposition to annexation, to effect their object in preventinig our ob taining another safeguard to slave proper -ty. They inquire not into the governing motive of his opposition, so the result of his course uponi that question will effect -their desire. But we advocate the annex - ,ation of Texas, not only as of vital impor tance to the slave State.s, but as'a National -an A merican question. It is of invalu able importance to the commercial, navi gating, and agricultural interest of the na nion;- yes, to our national independence, -and the moure successful vindication of the basis principle. of our. Republic-that the -people are capabte of self-government. Our other issues can be met hereafter, and weshould nois be preparing to ineet themn. Met~ the question of -the annexation of Texas is of superior importance, from the (act that it ,'can come but once in the life of a-nation." It is not within our control - -' tone, but depends upon the will of a dis whe-h~ r.peit sifatal." It should -then det'' e the voie of every freeman. - . or enajon, therefore, we would join resolutery and withr all our ability, in the elvatiotr of James K Polk to the presiden rial chair, and giving political -ascendency e the Democrlic party which is the Texas part. Again..-aivery large pottion of our Dem ocratic brethren in this and other Southern -arndSouthwestern States. confidently rely upon th~e success of the Democratic party for a reduction of the Tariff'to lte revenue standard of the C~tmpromise Act. -Whatever may beour individual hope, Swe owe it to those.identifiedwith us in inte rest-who are with us common sufferers a..nd who do entertain such confidence to co-operate with them. It will be but-the - -exercise of ordinary patience, and certainly awise prudence. If their confidence -Be coritlty -placed, (and the next Congress *il'leterminc4our relief- 'lil be peacea -bly a~eontp~lished, and ihe- Union lie pre served. 'ilt if disappuinttment should be -the resultthire',with-tis, if not "insensible to honor and sharne,"'awill look to other modes of redress. -Deeming that resis tance to be effective should - Pqmbinethe cfohrts of at least.thred or foum States iden tifi'ed with us in a .common jidest and. ,nomon destinv. we are the'advocatterna Southern Convention. Let such be ob. tained, and it would resuli in our hnmble opinion, in an utter abandonment of the protective policy. . But if we should rail to precure the co operation of such States. we may be.asked what think we of seperate State Section? If such an emergency should arise no man who is not lost to honor, to his interest, to his danger, to the spirit of 1776, can hoii tate as to the answer. - We cannot tame ly summit to unconstitutional exaction to insufferable oppression ; we cannot quietly sleep upon the volcano of incendi ceudiary fanatieism! "Before God, we 'do not wish disunion. Let the Govern ment be justly administered, and we will glory in the Union, and give it our whole heart and strength, in peace and war." But- if -neither the preservation of.-the Union nor any other consitieration under Heaven" can induce the General govern ment to return to a sense of justice, we say that South Carolina should not submit 6to the spoliation, ignominy . and danger to which, under the abuses of the Consti tution,' she is now subject. The reproach then, under the various steps of political action marked out, f 'a dissolution of the U'nion,"will rest upon those who tvan tonly provoked it, and those who will as wantonlvi, have suffered it to take place." As to.tlieidoirse of our State. In such emergencj, etiffice it now to say, we hold the doctine 'ofirst and uodivded allegi aice to South Carolina. - We haie been longer than we had design ed in this exposition .of our.principles and node of action; b't we desire to. be expli cit as to each principle, and each step of political.actiot. ;We -hope our object is attained. While as a conductor of a public press, we' feel i to b'ou!-dAy to assume a po litical position, as we our privilege, yet we shall not be unminiidful of the interests of the 'lanter, in giving him such ugricul. cultural informationas may be enelcial, and such occturate commercial intelligence as will keep him informed or the state. of oui mtrket. We shall endeavor likewise to. be vigilant as. 14 :the inierests of ou Merchants and our ibole town, making our colurns conducie to the interest of all. We hope, by this course, to establisjh a kindly business intercourse between Plan ter and Merchant, and betweea each of then and ourself. LETTER FAOM MR. CAL HOUI4. S-T. CLAIRsviLLE, 0. Aug. 31, 1844. Dear Sir.-On ibe 19th of this month the-Whigs held a mass meeting in this place, and, among others, were addressed by the Hon. Thomas F-ving of this State, who, in reference t-. yourself,' made the following statement: that john C.-Cathoun had. in- his letter to Packenhamr lai&down this monstrous propositionty, that the true and natural condition of the laboring por tion of the community* was- that of slavery. It is true (Mr. Ewiug continued) that -Mr. Caltoun, in that letter, was speakin-g of the black population of the South; but I have often, on the four of'the Senate, heard him lay down the broad and general poition that the best and most natural condition uf the laboring conrmiatityf was that of slavery." No' believing that you ever did', oi the floor of the Senate or elsewhere, utter any. Qc-aiandmp uant--nor thats.ou -avar enter tained such, we have deemed it proper to address you this o6te, sQ that you may, if you consider it of sufficient importantoe, cor rect the error, in a public manner, by a letter to us on this subject. Some of us heard Mr.. Ewing on the occasion alluded to, and we suppose tlBt he has made the same statement ini vari ous parts of the State. With great respect, yours, &c.' ROBER T J. ALEXANDER, A. PA TTON. E. G.BRYSON. JOHN. C. TIBBA LL, WM. P. SIMPSON, WVM. WILKINS, J. M1. MITCH ELL. * JAMES WISHART. STATE DEPARTMENT, Sept. 12. 1844. Gentlemen:-I have received your letter of the 31st August. at a Whig Mass mee ing held at St. Clairsville,made the follor: ing statement: "That John C.-Calhoun had in his letter to Mr. Piickenhanm. laid down in this monstrous proposition, 'thaL-iie true & tatural condition of the laboring portion of the community was that of Slavery. It is true (Mr. Ewing continued) that Mr. Calhoun' in that letter was speaking of the black population of the South; but I have often. on thefloor of the Senate, heard himn lay down the :broad and general position that the best jand most natural of the la boring community was that of slavery H ad I not as high authority as your names to furnishbfor theiact, I wotuld not havebelieved'.that Mr. Ewing: or any man of any standing, having the .least re-, gard to character, womuld have ventured 'to make a statement before a public audience so utterly destitute of the shad'ow of truth Bt,~ on your high authority, I am con strained to believe he made it. A regard to my eI a'racter compels me to notice it'eind .1 'accordingly prondone it to he utterly false. I laid down no such proposition as he assetts' did, in my les* ter to, Mr. Packenham, in the abstract, or in referetice to the black population of the South, or any, which can fairly be 'con trned into if. I did, indeed, absert, that. their condition there, was far better than that of the free blacks in the nnlave hofding States'-and tat I conclusively proved by the late census-Nor did Iev er lay down the proposition in the Senate or any where else, that the hest and most natral condition of the laboring commu ry was tihat of slavery, or any thing like it. The whole is a calumny, utterly des iinte of foundation. So 'far from ever having- entertained steh an- abominable sentiment, my~whole life has been devoted to endeavoring to ups hold'onr free popular system Tof, gover-n mna t~d'resisting the 'coutrce "of poliej' havoaed1 by Mr. Ewing and' his party; ad whielh, I firmly believe,'is' calculated to asubvert the liberty of this 'eople, and reduetihofrbiiglas--of.ithis: country. to the wretched eot iion, to iwhich they have been' redseid .

Rt. 11arnwell'Rhett met at .Basnwbll Court House to partake of a Barbetud gived by the citizens, in compliment to their Rep.. resentative. At 11 o'dlock, A: M., the I people assembled in a grove adjoining the village, Where a stand had been erected for the speakers and seats prepared for thE audience. by the Committee ofrArrahgE ments. The meetieg was organled by appointing the Hon. Angus Pattei'd6n, President of the Day. Mr. Rheti was received by the ,meeting at bif past 11 o'clock. and commenced his speech. The following is an abstract: .. Ist. He had no hope in 1ie bemoctatic party, because the action' of thei party on the subject of the Tariff, in theilection-of1 Speaker, in the appointment of .ComWmit tees. and in alt the tests submittedtio them had been deceptive-said the gtate wa's only pledged to vote for Metrsd1olk and Dallas, and no further. 2d, Had no faith in a Covention of the whole' South, nothing to be hoped from it inexpedieni, cant be had, and if convened, will break up in a row. One State must I make the issue, South-Carolina - must he that Sttle, or it will not be done at all, ifSouth-Carolina moves, then perhaps, a Southern Convention may beausembled for good. . 3d. Had no faith in the'scheme to tax Nor tirern goods-nor practicable, and would accumulate burthens on the people of the State. 4th. He said South-Carolina had taken hercotrse, sIre must resist and meet her o)pressors, or sebmit. He went for resis tance by the call of a State Convxenton, on reason for postponemetrt-ainoollic'. not to get ready-necessary to take. p(edges from our Representatives. If wo wait for the Democracy to. gain the 'ascendency both in the House and the Senate, there was no chaice for redress. H'e shewed at length the attachment of South-Caroli na to the Union, proved it by the sacrifi. ces which she bad nMade to . maintaino it, and expressed Iris deep attachment, and that of the Steg to the Union. of the Con. stitutiotr. Ile desired to perpetuate the Union, and'the best means for doing.this, was for the State to act at once,, restore. the Constitution upon whichuit rightfully res, through the people. in 'Conventiob, and support thedecision of tle Convention. He concluded by expressing-his opinion that the State is compelled to-resist, and his belief that prudence and policy would dictate to us to move, and that speedily. He believed it would better for the Unini to redreis our wrongs now. Mr. 'lRhett concluded at 2.o'clock, PM., having spi.4- rr two hours and'a half'-----." - J Mr Gaittt.nextaddressed -The .eeting, I sad ewpresed' his concurrence. with Mr. Rhett'.- ".
