JOHN HILL, 0 E. D. From the Charleston Mereury. PUBLIC MEETING. In pursuance of public notice, the citi. tens of Charleston, without distinction ol party, assembled at the theatre on Satur day evening at eight o'clock. * N-thaniel Enyward Esq. President. Hon- T. L. Hutchinson, Vice President. Edward Barnwell, Win. H. Trescott, and Thomas M. Hankel Esq. Secreta ries. Hon J. C. Calhoun, Hon. A. P. Butler, and Hon. Armistead Burt, who at the so licitation of many citizens had consented to address the meeting, wete introduced, and were received with the most enthusi as!ic cheering. C. B. Northrop Esq. stated tltat- the Hon. A. P. Butler would address the meeting. Mr, Butler commenced his remarks by contrasting his present position with that ccupied by him at Washington for the last ten days of the session of Congres. There he. occupied the position that eve. ry Representative of the South did who fearlessly and honestly attempted to do his duty, the object of odium and dislike to hose who were animated by the reckless pirt of sectional ambition; here he was ustained and cheered by the approving plaudits of a generous constituency. He alluded to the proceedings of the session, many of which were important in their ehnracter, and some of its measures of mo centeus consequence. not only as affect. ng the honor and interests of the South, >ut as dangerous to the harmony. nay, to he very existence of the Union. The %lexican war, in which the skill and cour tge of the American arms had been so sig ially displayed, had unfortunately hro'i n its train questions fraught with perplex ty and danger, among which was the is. ue made between the North and the South upon the subject of slavery. That nstitution was never assailed while the Jnion consisted of the Thirteen Original 3tates. The compromises of the consti ution were faithfully observed alike by he Nonh and the South; but, with the icquisition of new territories, new qttes ions were introruced destructive of the armony of the cor.feteracy; and, as our erritories have increased, there ditficul ies and dangers have increaseJ with them. b etoerritories.of..New Mexico and Cali comn'ion'Governnient. The ;.West, had. >eenaenricied by:ihewar in.furnishitng an mmense market for their produce. The iorth .and the East have derived great be tifit in furnishing the munitiops of war, tad the employment of their ships as ransports. What has been left for the South ? We are told there are your :onquests, the glory in their acquisition rou have richly shared, and the laurels you have won are freely mingled with the !yress; but you shall not enter upon the erritory, you and your institutions are for ver prohibited therein. If our forefath !rs could have anticipated that such a re triction would have been imposed upon heir descendants as to the common pro perty of the Union, is it suppo.ed they would ever have consented to it! The Southern States were equals when they ntered into the confederacy, and they ne ver would have joined it had they anti :ipated the attempts made to degrade hem whenever the North acquired the power of doing so. When the Union was Formed. the South was the stronger por lion of'it, but its compacts were held invi. >lable; and he had challenged on the floor f Congress the production of a .single in tance where a Southern State had viola ted the compact of the Union He addu ed several instances in which New York. Pensylvanta, and other Northtern States ad proved faithless to their costitutional abligations). A rapid sketch was given of the procee :igs in Congress in connectiona with the wo propositions fur cnmpromise, with which our readers are familiar. They had een both voted down by the North. It was palpably the determinationi of that ection not only to exclude the South from all the territories of the Union, hut to make hese territories hereafter the instruments >f further oppression. When settled and orned into States, with the present anti tlavery States, they would have a sulli ient power to amend the Constitutiont and deprive us of the letter of its protec ion as they had long since of its spirit. rhe South had failed to arrest this inva ion tun its rights, btut the spirit of deter mination atnd unanimity with which it was esistedI was mnost gratifying. LIe would iever forget thte last night of tho session, when the Southern men presented a ut :ed and tdetermined front. Party bonds were repudiated, and party ties were bro ken. He would say that the South reed 'lace no reliance on eithter party. If they put themselves in the keeping of party ft hey trusted to. the honor or good faith of he~ North, thtey woultd be diece-ived, and bey would fisuu themselves dlegraced and enslaved-the mere vassals of the restf the confederacy. The time has passed away when any hope of justice could rea onably be entertained from that quarter; sd if the South thinks the in,stitutioni of slavery wort h preserving, they must pre. pare to do it in some other way than by party. He wvas tno advocate for disunion. The man did not live who could look disunioi in the race without an awful shuddering at its po'ss'ible consequences. But if the Union is to be made a b)ond to fetter onet m..ti...o the confeer.,...... fr, th aggain . dizement of the other, he would not wor ship it as an idol, upon whose alter was to he sacrificed the prosperity, the equality, and the honor of the South. The spirits of Lanrens, of Gadsden, of Rutledge, and of Pinckney. would spurn from their com panionship that Southern who would be so recreant to his duty as to consent to wear the badge of degradatien and inferi ority. The North, it was evident, had determin ed upon their polcy of arresting any further accession of political power to the Slave States, and nothing could counteract this policy but the determined and united ac tion of the entire South. If the Southern States were united, they could dictate their own terms. They would not obtain their rights by President making. Gen. Case, if elected. would not veto the Wil. mot Proviso, and he was equally sure that Gen. Taylor would not veto it. All hopes of that kind were utterly fallacious. Presicent Polk had administered the inter ual affairs of the Government in a manner which deserved the highest approbation. and he most willingly accorded hn his thanks; hut even he would have been con sumed with the fires of indignation if he had vetoed the Oregon lill containing the Wilmot Proviso. It would have been abso lutely dangerous for him to have met on the street some of those who had assisted to place him in power had he done so. The pressure upou any President would be too strong for resistance. Of General Taylor asa gentleman and a soldier he had the highest opinion. He believed if he had been leti to the origin I simplicity nod purity of his charcter he would have been willing to have entrusted him with the Government, in the hope that he would have effected its reform, and no govern ment on earth needed it more. But the great danger was that, heset as he was by politicians, he would obey the behests of party, and not the honest promptings of his own heart. He had placed himself under the control and deminion of a party, and that party would give direction to his admiuistration. He says, and no doubt honestly believes, that if elected, he will come into power as the people's candidate; .but since the nomination at Philadelphia, it is well known ho ra -- ated by aT. various .... ry Ottai- -- be is - co-o -1 an her vote aour o.. oF the rher of the candi dates. For thirty years the State had ne ver cast her vote against democratic prin ciples, and had never voted for a Whig ; but when she had made her decision. ie would bow with the most implicit differ ence. He would say for himself, that he would not chango his party relationa atid sympathies, but he would chnorfully ac quiesce in the decision of the State. But there should be no excitement, no exacer bation. There never was an occasion in which excitement upon such a subject was nore to be deprecated. He alluded to the manner in which candidates were selected by proceedings in caucus, where trickery and management, not merit, se cured the uomination. If the selection of a candidate had been left to the people, the choice would not have fell upon Gen. Taylor and Gen. Cass. There was there foro no nccessity or propriety in getting up any excitement, and if a heated politi cal canvass was to ensue, for himself, he notuld take no part in such a scramble. Mr. Burt expressed his thanks for" the the kindness of his recepion. H e alluded to the recent action of Congress, and said if they had presetrved their honor they had lost a portion of their rights. Wihin au other twelve months their rights, their equality as members of the confederacy. would be lost, unless they came to the re scue; unless the South, by united and en ergetic action demands tbat equality which was guarantied to them in the Con stitution. WVe w ould be degradingly ex pelled from New Mexico and California, and counned to prescribed litnits, that our itnstitutions might perish, and wve perish with thetm. The conduct of the Northern Senators and Representatives had been tmost inperious and exactinh. There were a few honorable exceptions- Donglas; Bright, Hannegan, Sturgeon, Cameron, r.nd Dickitson-that struggled against the current for a wvhile, but wvere eventually compelled to yield. He detailed the pro ceedings of the Senate on the Oregon hill, where the determination of 'he North to assert their supretnacy, and to dlegrade the South, was: so stronigly manifested. So imp,atiet.t were they for their victinm that they would not evett respect the Sabbath; atnd tupon God's holy day, while the hells of the chuiches were summoning thte ci: izens of Washington to worship, the de cree of ostracism and proscription was .re gistered. The North was not prompted to this crusade by fanaticism, as was sup posed by many. It wvas a struggle for po litical power anod superiority. Slavery was termed a Southern institation, btut if there was anyt institution more than ano ther entitled to the natme of American, it was the institution of slavery.. At the breaking out of the Revolution it existetd in all thte colonies, and at the adoption of the Constitution in all the States, with the exception of Massachtusetts. -They :hadi seen fit to abolish it in the States where slave labor was unprofitable, and have since indulged in a series of unwarranta bleagg=ressins on the Southern States, that' -bonds of this Union would not ht ;endured for a moment. It it is a upon a moderate calcula tion. are at this time iii the Nort -and in Canada upwards of thiit Aad -runaway slaves, and this w -y which, by justice and comit ortheru States were bound ton iming. The remedy for these .wasnot to be found in the ascend a ptrties, but it depended on their ' thearts and strong arims.

He referred to the action o be Senate on the Oregon bill, and lame able as was the defeat of the South on uestion, it was still more lamentable t ,as accomplished by the votes of tt uthern Senttors. lie would name em- They should be known and deserved to-be:held in reprobation by every Southeriiman.- They were Cnlounel Benton, of !lissouri, and Gen. Houston, of Texas. Had they stood true to the South. the bill would-have been defeated. Vitlh these exceptions, the Southern men had stood side by..jde,and. shoulder to should er. And in this-a most gratifying cor.trast was presented with the condition of things existing at the,-commencement of the see sion. At that7time not a corporal's guard could be gut tgether to act harmoniously. lie had never .witnessed so much distrac tion. But at the close of an arduous a's sion, and after- one of the ablest debates 'vhuichi he had ever witnessed, and in which the South was completely victoriotus, thie entire South, with the exceptions above named, stood shoulder to shoulder, man fully battling for their rights. The action of the North in inserting the Wilmot Proviso in the Oregon bill was a mere wanton asserion of power. It wvas universally admitted that the climate and soil of Oregon utnftted it for slave po -pulations, but the North determined upon the assertioni of the right to exclude slavery from the Terrhtories of the Union, without conditions or restriclionts, it was the first time it was applied, atid the determination manifest so to apply it hereafter in all. cases-even it. Cubs, should that Island ever be anniexed to our Union.. In the old Confederation the Ordinance for the go verntoeat of the Northwestern Territory was proposed 'for three years, atid was only adopted than when the restitution of fugitive shaves to their owners was coupled with it as a condition. The Missouri Compromise was proposed by the Nort h, was urged it on -Congress, and sacrilied every Northertnian who voted againist it. But a great chanige has been effected in the North sinice that period. A3 they have grownl in power they have inicreased in the exactionsi, andsat last have boldly avowedJ their ;determinaiion to arrest the further progress of the Slave Statee, by excluding them unconditionally hiereafter from all the Territories of the Union. - With such aastruggle at hand, how ui portent is it tht the.

At the next session of Con gresa the contest will be renewed for Cal ifornia, New Mexico, and the territory between the Nueces anl the Rtio Grande -for the North claims all that. If worsted in that struggle, as there is great probili ty we will be, we have nothing to hope or expect from the Federal Government He had watched this question of Abolition for years, and from the beginning had pre dicted the resnh. There are in the body political, as in the human system, diseases which, if not promptly arrested, become incurably and eventually fatal; and it was his opinion from the first that Abolition, if strong and decided measures were not taken to check it, would run its course, and in its progress destroy the Uuin and the institutions of the country. In his opinion, whichever party at the North was defeated in the Presidential election would go over to the Barnbttrners. With such an addition to their forces, the party will be most powerful. For defence against its policy and purposes we must rely upon ourselves alone. Hence the necessity of union, of harmony. Do not permit any mere temporarv questiuon to estrange or divide vou.- Remember that the Carolin ian who is farthest from you in opinion is nearer to you th.u any Northern min of either party. If the South is united, there is yet hope of saving the Union. We can rally n great Southern R-publican party, based on principles above i;e mere inak ing of Presidents; and with-such a party we can cnr,mtand our terms and control the North, So long as the S.uth per iniis any candidate who claims her sup port to tamper with the Abilitionists for their votes, her influence will be lost, and her rights disregarded.
