Ffon the Baltimore Sun, 11th inst. THE MACREADY AND FORREST AFFAIR. Mr. Macready did not appear at the Astor Palace Opera House, in New York, on Tuesday evening, so that we have no new disturbanres to notice. Forty seven prominent genlemen. anong them Wash ington Irving, Ogden Hofiman, lienj. I). Seillituan, Cornelius Mtathews, David Graham, &c.. hearing that he had deter mined tot to appear again, have addressed hani a note, urging him to ieconsider his decision, and assuring hitn thi he will he sustained by the public. Accordingly he was to appear again yes'erday evenine. The Ilerald says that Mr. Mlacready will, in a few days. poiblisha letters from Forster, the London critic, Fettblanque, Hullwer, andothers proving that the treatment of Furrest in Eiglaind on his second visit, was solely in reialiationi for the A tmerican reception of ickens' bouk on Ametican manners ! Mitcready it is said, endeavored to prevent thse strictures. The New York Courier, of Tuesday. as we stated yesterday, charged the Macrea dy row upon Forrest. and says lie instiga ted the row and paid fur the admissiin ofr the rioters, and that lie has in flicted a stain upon the Amerietin character. The charge of the Courier appears to have been alto gether gratuitous and unfounded, and yes terday's Coutier contained a retratitio. in which one of the editors, who wrote the former article, says: "In connecting the name of Mr. Forrest with their perpetration, he spoke from no knowledge of facts which would establish any such connection. His statements upon this point were entirely inferential. de had nodoubt whaever that the circum stances of Mr. Forresi's controversy with Mr. Macready, and the fact that Mr. For. rest had declarcd in public that Mr. Mac ready should never be permitted to appear again upon the stage in this city, warranted the inference which lie drew, that the dis turbance on Monday night was of Mr. Forrest's procurement. lie mnakes this explanation. because the paragraph was published witihout thc knowledge of the responsible editor, who does not deemt the facts sufficient to narrant the assertion that Mr. Forrest had anythiug to du with the outrage in question." The writer further states that the charges were made and piublished without the knowledge or approval of the responsible editor. Col. Webb, who adds a note, in which be says: "It is quite certain that there is no evi. deanceof Mr. Furrcst's being a party to the proceedings, and we are bound to assume that he was not." Latcr.-The New York Courier and Enquirer of yesterday moruing. contains another letter from Mr. Sedawick, on the part of Mr. Forrest, in which lie acknowl edges a portion of the above apology ac ceptable, and adds! -But your paper of this iorning con tains an assertion which Mr. Forrest can not, for a moument, allow to pass uncon tradicted. .. -You state-'as a tact,' in the aricle to bich I refer, that 31r Forrest aade eer be I ermitled to appear again upon -:the stage in this city.' and the inference again said to 'warranted bty the faet, is, that the disturbance on Monday tnightr was of Mr. Forrest's procuremtentt.' I 4g31,-. Forrest pronounces the assertion to be absolutely false: asd I am instructed to request that you will at once conitradict it or give the authority on whose informia lion the statement is made." Trho Courier backs out entirely frotm this assertion also, by saying th;:t they "presume they were mistnformned in regtrd to the matter, antd accordingly withdraw enitirehv the inference drawn ftomn the alleged statement"-and~ renews the ex pression of regret that the origintal state menlt shoutld have been matde. The Courier also publishes the reply of Macready to the comitittee of citizetns wvho invited him to fulfil his engagement. despite the attack that was made on himt Monday night,~ in which he says that lie bad determ.ined to abandon his engage mient, but adds : "Ia leaving this country n hich has been endeared to nty recollectioin by long atnd strong attachmieis. I shouldi not have donte you the injustice of associatinig the Atmeri can character with the ill-deeds o'f persons uahappily too fiequently to be round itn every large community; and in the satme spirit which w'ould preseree me from a hasty :and iticonsiderable jutdgmenit upon the late occurrenices, I assent to your request, honoring and feeling grateful for the sethtimettt that has dictated it." The Heral of yesterday mortning, st ates that a hand-hillI containinig the folluinig, was stuck up) in various parss of the city: "Working men, shall Americans or English mule in this city. The cre w of ithe Btritish steamer hav-e thtreatented aill Aimer icans who shall datre to express their opini ions this night, at the English Aristocratic Opera H ose! WVe advocate tno violence, but a free expression of opinion to all public men. Working men ! Freemen ! ytand by your lawful rights! (Signted) Mr. Macready has also issued it pam phlet, entitle-d "Replies fromt Englaind to certaini statements circulated im this couni try againist Mr. Macreatdy." This, the C~ourier states, must sattsfy even M r. For rest that he has beetn labnting utider a false inmpression. Gasr.

Thme story was probably invented by somne m ah eitor State Convenution. We particularly call the attention of our readers to the proceedings of the Convention lately held at Columbia, to consult or the deep. ly agitating subject of Southern rights. The Convention was mado up of able and experi enced men it om nearly every District in the State, and the caut results of its deliberations furnish evidence of the solemn earnestness, with which those men were impressed. In its Peumble and iesolutions, it will be seen that the Convention put forth no blustering bravado -no idle threats, which so oflen disgrace our popular assemblies; but in the calhi effort of sober judgment, Resolved in substance, That it is the deter imination of the people of our State to stand firm and steadfast by their plain rights, which took their origin in the very commencement of American society, and are fully secured to us by the terms of the Constitution. Will the people of our District respond to the sentiments of the Convention ? Of this there can be no doubt. They are, we believe. already prepared fur the emergeny. When the time lor action comes, they will be, as they have ever been, among the first and foremost to derend their rights and to preserve inviolate the honor of the country. They will not hosi. tate to niaintain at all ha:ards the great civil rights aid political freedom purchased to part by the toils and dangers of their Forefathers, and now firmly attached to the soil stained with much of their best heart's blood.

The worst pig often gets Lic best polato. FOR THE ADVERTISER-. No. I. The same subject Continued. This spirit of sickly reform. rising, as we have stated, in the gieat City and State of New York, as from a gushing fountain, is growing into a mighty flunl, which is destined, we ftear, to overspread this whole land, carrying with it ruin and devasta ion. Already it has done much injury. It has affected niure or less every State in the Union. Its haneful ellects have been seriously felt even in our own little com nonwealth, in which a conservative prin ciple has been strongly inculcated. It has raised among us a loud cry fur change. To what excess it will ultimately lead, is known only in the inscrutable wis iom of an Ailwiso Providence. G,d grani, its ronsequences may not here, as elsewhere prove fatal to oder and rational liberty. It is needless it say, wherever this reckless spirit has gone its influence has been sad and pernicious.- its inevitB ble tendency is to unsettle affairs-to pro duce anarchy and faction ; in a word, to break down old things however nise and venerable, and to establish new lowsnever flimsy and unsubstantial. Its incidental cotiseqrnences are to cause to be neglecied talent, learning and virtue, and to' give full scope to all the evil passions of licen tious deinagogueism. It requires no phi losophic eye to discern, that, unless check ed, it must end eventually in a low state of politicul morals and organization-in a word, in the overthrow of all rational liberty. llavinig given, as we believe, the true historical migin of this radical spirit in the country, it may not be amiss to inquire into the causes that have given it birth, and that favr.r its ripid progress among us. The physician, in order to apply a proper remedy, should know not only when a disease originates and on what part of the body it first shows itself, but should search out likewise the causative agencies tOat produce it. We know of but tvo main causes io which to ascribe the evil alluded to-one is the character of our liberal go ernment and institutions'; the other is. the def tive moral and political knowledge among the people. it is not our intention, at present, to institute anything like a philosophical analysis of these causes. That would be in a short essay like this, entirely out of place. Our design is only to make sug ge.tions, We do not believe, then, it is the inhe rent tendency of our itistit utions to produce tile leveling spirit now tife in the land. TI.is is, douttless, an excrescence from our admirable polity-the result of a failure to comply with its true intent and high demands; the omtission to practise virtue and Fromote knowledge-the firm substructures on which rests our govern met. In a country like this, we think our present Federative system, the best style of governmnent for a population of freemen. It is well ndapted in our judg iment, to check anything like despotic pow er on the one hand, or leveling democracy on theother. It is highly fitted to preserve order and right, but at the same ime amply to secure popular liberty. imdeedt, when we look to the Bdnirahle structure of our constitution, and see the nie ndap talion of its paris to the wais and happi niess of~ a free people ; the just balance of all its poer as betweetn the party gov erning and the patty gotverned ;-how well it chtecks on one hantd the encroach mnents of Execiuti~ve power,~ and on the other t he a:;ressiv ye rann ey of n umuerical mnajorities or factions-we are struck with wonider at the wisdom of its framers, atnd aire forced to conclude, that so long as the governmOenit shall he faiirly administered according to the wise provisions of that noble instrument. it will, hetter than any m~ter polity, secure to ourt peoiplo pros perity antd happiness. lf in the experience of our tim tal legislat'on other sesults have appeared, they are not ascribabtle to the governmtient itself, but to its mnal-ad mainistragtion ! TIo thme other cause, then, viz :-To thec defective moral and political informnat ion among the people, must the referred the levelinig eifect of the political spirit of the age. Wheire morals and knowledge are wantittg, things have a certain tendency to disorder antd tmjustice, and the best gov, ernmntt that can be devised cantnot control this tendeaey. It is alone moral inttelli gence united with just tnotions of govern mett that enn sustain toe political economy of the world. Without these in a pre eminent degree, political society is tnatu rally pronet to Inctioni. Clashinginteresis, unconitrolled by a pirit of enlightened patri otism, will prtoduce comtbinations, in which opp~osite parties are sure to disregard the rights of one another, and the cou~d of the whole. This is the case of our coutttry at present. To the 1:iolence of fiction mayj we trace nearly all thme legislative tyranny, and oppression of the dlay. Now, as itn the days when thu Federalist was penined, the political evils that afilict us, "must he chiefly if nt wholly effects tf the unstendi ness andh injustice with which a factious spirit has tainted our public administra tions." " Now this "factious epirit" is greatly incereased by a want amotig the people of proper nlotiutns as to their rights arid privi' leges, and as to their political relations with one another. Thievagueness of their knowledge touching these matters, often hetrays the people into acts of gross injus tice, aud opens a wvide field for the tricks and tmachinations of demagogues-the worst enemiies of a free country. Under the guise of friendship these men impose upon the credulity and ignorance of their Fellow-citizens, and put forth their factious efforty with a view solely to personal ag grand izement. It is their studied policy to effect changes in society and to degrade thfe knowledge and virtue of the people, since ont ignorance, passion, change and excitement depend their hopes of success. The good and inatelligenit of all ages and sexes arc deeply interested in putting down these pests ofrsocieiy. The mostr effectual way of doing this, and of correclinig a "fac-.ious spirit'' among the people, is, for he people to enlighten one anothei-. Dem. agogues shrink from the light of knowl edge as evil-doers from the light of day, and as kntowledge advatnces, prejudice and faction decline. Let us, therefore, get wisdom atnd unrderstanidinig. Lct us learn cdclit~-nam~c alad...,.. to know fully our polititd rights an' 'uties. This is the only sure antidote against political tricksters and against cor rupt exercises of power. As one of the people, feeling a deep interest in the welfare of our State and Uountry, we intend to give our sentiments reely and boldly on matters affectiug the public weal. We propose to give a few practical 4ssays on subjects conneetcd with political Ethics. and influencing the daily acts of the Citizen ! ONE oF THE PEoPLE. From the South Carolinian.
