Wey, twar aslate as thE9G -vbe'heery first of LtJnm.:wa~i-jieitedntoan Aot, and it was notunti the 20th of the same month, that the-whole of them received the highest sane *-tionieo -aw-. -Allow then, at least, ten.days for their promulgation, and you will see that we moidd not have come properly into possessiob of them until the first of October. The election for Members to the -Legislature :took- place on the secondi Monday in October. What opportunity thens- did your Members have to advise with you, relative to-these recent inflietions of Federal and Legislativetyranny? None in.the world. Their sentiments were not even called for, through the papers. You would, at that time, have deemed it an net of supererogation. Your feelings and a::ntiments were so clearly made known, by every word yo,; uttered, and by every look and ges ture, thit your Delegates must have been blind men not to have interpreted your wishes. Gen tlemen, -they- did read you correctly, and they did give in the Legislature, a true expression of your honist impulses, and of the determined resolution of your minds. All this stuff about your notbeing consulted, is an after-thought of men who seek to.warp your judgments, and to distort the eal -issues presented for your con sideration. One of your Members to the Uouse, refused to vote for the Convention Bill, at one of its ioadings, because, in his estimation, it was notb measure of sufficient strength, and his parpose being misunderstood, he was met by the consuming indignation of his constituents, until he codild explain the motive that governed his conduct. It would be paltry in you, at this late date, to affect not to have virtually counselled your Dele gates to the Legislature to adopt some effectual mode of resistance to the usurpations of the General Government. You did this even before the consummation of these at aets of tyranny, by which you and your children have been re duel to the moat absolute slavery-to a vassal age iler than that of the serfs of a despot, or of theslaves of the Sultan of Turkey. I had the honor of being an invited gguest at mere than'eilste your dinners and pub!ie as semblesr the last year, and if the excitement Of the' ocs'iCans did not overpower my senses, everyandidate in the field deliberately denoun ed the Union of these States as a curse, and when he would express his determination to de vote himself to its dissolution, the sentiment was hailed with shouts of enthusiasm. The cry rang through the vast multitudes or w .ho " Peace is despair'd, wo'ho can think submission ? War then, war, Open or understood, must be resolved." The manner of conducting this war could not then be determined upon, because the bitter cup of our wrongs had not yet been filled, and Con gbes had not yet completed the full measure of its moat moa*doss and wicked tyranny. The candidates were not, and ould not be advised as to the precise mode of redress, because the Ahviil Coventleon, and the Georgia Conven tion and-the Ifississippi Legilature were still to assemble, and as human foresight could predict their -ohrimte actien gh n mydegree of certain Wy,. .Bat It is necessagy t all Legislatures sh'allbe elothed with seine trust, otherwise'they ,would be perreetlyinsigniacant~tid just as ineffi eient4,a w9uldp ethe uryel ie oeatie us 4emies4 b x k-s inpo adui~te~l~o awa5yunlss you could%#ipp5 How tite d 7u # etaan ioudegs-. laur disebarg tie.rrst reposed in them ?

They could .al most see in their 'minds, the dibertnbodied for'ms of their-fathers rebuking their foul degenciocy~ Under-gech clreuatauces, unless they were the b~asest-of menl, they wete bound to act. There fere, sine- they had not been able to learn the express wishes of their constituents touching the extent of their gotioit, they considered it both bold and prudent to put the State in a defensive attitude, and to call aConiventiorn of the people which mesins to ens1 the people themselves to gether.-that they rhight determine in their ea paeity of sover'eigna, the course of policy which duty, honor, sa the safety of thmetmselves and children ftegoired thern to adopt. What else could the Legislature hare dote ? What ether pilth could they have trodden which would have led to ho7not. It was truly wrong either to fall ahort of, of, to transcend their in structiona in a matter of so great delieacy, and of such fearful moment. Virginia too, bad passed the following resolutions in her Genmeral Assem bly, which she had not yet repudiated, whereby she had beeomne pledged to resistances " Resolved, That we regard the pargage of a law by the Congress-of the United States, abol ishing Slavery or the Slave Trade in thme District of Columbia, as a'direct attack upon the institu tions of thme Southern States, to be resisted at every hasard. "Resolwed, That in the event of the passage by Congress of the 'Wilmot Proviso,' or any law abolishing slavery or the alane Lrode in the District of Columbia, the Governor of this Com monwealth is requested immediately to convene the Legilature of this State, (if it shall have ad journed).to consider the mode and measures of Georgia-had vaunted to the world her inten tion to resistiandactually called a Convention of her people, which was in session during the meeting of our Legislature. The Legislature of Mississippi moreover,- which had been convoked by its chivalrous and high-spirited Gov. Qurr xu, had called a Convention of that State to meet during the latter part of this year. And besides, you had many l:onest men, stho wished toearry~ut the recommendations ofthe Nash v3le Convetiony but entertained consections and constlbutional scruples in regard to the right and powefi the Iegislature to form a solemn league and covenaatwithany other State. Under thinkasjieet ffairai, it was deerrred wise bypa largemajoritf fyour Legislature, not to commit you to any' Specific plan'of action in advance, bat to calltaConvention temeet'during this year,.togive falt timie for tk matter to be canvassed before the people prioitto the eleotlion of delegates, which elecetion, if Irnistakenc, as 'wtakepla.ein October. and to let the people, through this Convetion, thus drgifi.ed, declare their future course of conduct, and give it the fiat of law. This reasonable - measure, though was defeated by what is now called the moderate party, and was supported by all. the friends of separte State resistance. Pernit me ,to.ay,that this same moderate party, thoigh ieyrefused to make a single move, except in the appointment of Delegates to a Southern Congress% which was never to meet, while the sunishQne or rivers ran, were the very warmest advocates in the Legiula ture of the increase of Taxes, for Military pur poses. Their ntijoi of taixtion were extrava gantly bold. -They propqsed'il- inthat. way, to prove to the world,-that we-were a brave people, and by threats and bravado -to gain dll the fionor of a manly resistani,1 ithout incurring any of the hazarls of adecided plan of -conduct. The compromise toaunder which the Bill was framed, that finally provided for the election df Delegates to a State Convention, iCame matured from the same quarter. Those who were determined to resist, were compelled to accept its.or do nothing, and cover their State with disgrace. And, per haps, I am justified in saying, that it was the best measure, that could have beenaidopted. What less now, as honorable men, could your Representatives have done. If they had not res ponded to the action of Mississippi and Virginia, they would have placed the State in the attitude of a base deserter from the standard of her friends, and you would have scouted then from your ser vice, as the violators of your confidence, and as trators to the honor of SouthCarolina. The miserable cry you have lately heard about the People's being forced into a false position, by the arts of your Legislators, in fixing the election of Delegates at an early day, is beneath your contempt. You are indeed ignorant, as your false friends have proclaimed-far too ignorant to be freemen, if you admit, as has been asserted, by those who are now soothing you, with gentle strokes, that you were unacquinted with the ob jects of the election, which was held on the 2d onday of February last. You had been living in Edgefield District. You could read plain print, or your neighbor could do it for you, and Congress had just begun to perfect a system of acts, qualified and aimed to enslave you. Under such a state of affairs, men that you confided in, had gone from your midst to represent you in the Legislature. Their acts and votes, and speeches were daily spread before the country, in the news papers. The discussion on our relations with the General Government was long, well sustained, and intensely interesting. At length, on the 20th day of December, an Act is passed, ordaining that a Convention of the People of S. Carolina shall assemble in the town of Columbia, " for the purpose," as the act expressly declares, "in the first place, of taking into consideration, the pro ceedings and reecommendations of a Congress of the slave-holding States, if the same shall meet and be held ; and for the further purpose of tak ing into consideration the general welfare of this State, in view of her relations to the laws and government of the United States, nnd thereupon. to take care that the Commonwealth of South Garolina shall suffer no detriment." As was remarked, the election of Delegates was fixed on the 2d Mcnday of the February then next, about six weeks from the enactment of the bill, and the Act was immediately heralded to the country on the lightning wings of the Press, and the Telegraph, and by the mouths of cannon. So soon as your members returned from Colum ia, they took the first occasion to explain, under their own hands, the objects of the Bill, and to exhort you to give your devoted attention to it until after the election. Candidates were called Dut, and induced to publish their view s, in regard to the momentous question they would be com pelled to decide. Public meetings were sum moned, and the Convention Act was fully ex plained by those who aided in devising it. All his was dono previously to the election. Yet, ame of-those wvho now assume to enlighten and iret you, would persuade us, that on the day of leetion,- you were entirely: uninformied of the aghty issues you were beginning to decide. If ou were, in truth, so utterly indifferent to your vital interests, as these men would represent you, ou are likely to live slaves, and die so. If that s4rulyyourconditionof grossalarknless and cal eals tontice youtobe "hewers'Of woodand Irawers of water." Your fate is already sealed, ad isa fixed asthe eternal duriesof Heaven. 1 ouldspeak to'you-, my friends, with all the re et I-feel for' your characters 'and persons; but ou should frown down the men who would dare ,esmade you, that you are incapable of self-go-| rmehit. It was tever intended by any one, that the ay day for the electioitof Delegates, was de ignd to ilke from the People the control of the stiny of South Carolina. That day was ap ointd, iii oider that the great questions for deei ion, and the great causes of complaint might ose nonebf the interest they excited, and in order at the State iniglt hdve a Convention ready or mized, to take advantage of any fortunate eon ingeney that might happen, in the progress of e events that iare now tranispiring. Why, if it ould be jiidged ridst condricive to the interest d safety of Sooth Cai-olina, and to the success f the great enterpiisd of her heart, to wait two rears for the co-opeiation of her sisters, accord g to thie provisions of that Bill, it is entirely eon istent and proper for her to do sd. The Legis atue may not call the Convention together until t latter part of the ncit year, and then the Con vention, if it deemis it expedient, mnay, with the tost propriety, postpone its final action for 12 oths more. If you really purpose to act in lefene of your property and honor, the wisdom f man could not have placed yoti in a niore hap my situation than 'that in which you now find ~ourseles. If you sihould disagree, in your sentiments, with any of your Delegates elect to the Convention, (for their opinions are all known to the public,) ou have it per'fectly in your power to meet in primary assemblies, and. instruct them to resign. o man-of hornor will disobey such instru'etion. )therwise; yo- ilil be justly held responsible for he acts.

TIMOLEON. South Caroliza. THEz Southern Press speaking of thne ne tion of the late Convention of Associations, uses the following language: The report and resolutions arc temperate in language and decided in purpose. Thus the ease is presented for the first time in our history of a State in favor of secession from the Union. The people of South Carolina are neither friVolous, fickle, factious nor turbulent. No State has been consistent in her politics, more united in sentiment, more remarkable for law and- order. The people of South Carolina arc neither ignorant nor aggressive, It was from South Carolina that the original plan of~ the federa' Constitution emainted. nd she has always contributed a brilliant quota to the concils and the fields of the Union. South Carolina feels no disappoin ted ambition, nor unsuccessful sectional cu pidity. She has never asked for herself or her section, a solitary favor' from' the federal government. She has had fewer applicants StiaTe. She hai-s rejectednore oTefrs of eAe ril honor than perha'ps any other. So lately as 1845, the most attactive gift in the federal power-the English mission-was offered successively to three of her sons-Calhoun, Elmore, and Pickens-and declined by all-a fact without a parallel since the formation of the Union. Perhaps the most extraordinary trait in the course of South Carolina on the pending question is the unity, he unamitilty of her people. ON a I Wosin so Imporant, so vi. tal, so new, her population, property, and in. telledt, seem to be in almost perfect harmony. There is almost no 'difference of opinion as to the objectthe.ortly question Is as to the .time, the mode, andsthe means. This is the most solemn and Impressive protest that has ever been made against ail ct of the federal government. It goes to the very exisfen'ee of the system at once, Now there are some county lawyers, and -cross-roid party politicians, that can settle this difficulty "compendiously. They would compel South Carolina to obey this governs ment, and submit to a continuance in this Union, under the pains and penalties of trea. son. But no statesman will be found-eapa ble of such folly. Mr. Burke, who was a statesman, and who certainly did not lean too much to liberty fron power, declared he did not know how to draw a bill of indict ment against a whole people,-and that it could never be presumed that a whole people could be factions. or deluded, in reference to their own rights and interests. The course, however, towards South Caro lina begins to be indicated. It Is to foment division and enmilty among her people. The National Intelligencer of yesterday, attempts to excite the "mass of the people of South Carolina" against the " aristocracy and here ditary wealth of the State," for using "its political power to answer it personal ends." Now. when such a paper as the Intelligencer, :the chronic organ of priviege, of corporation, of protection, of class, comes out for the masses against aristocracy and hereditary wealth, what.is to be expected next? Will it pronounce for abolition and socialism, like its co-party friend, the Tribune ? But the expedients of despotism are the same. - The court of Austria has long been exciting the races and sects of Hungary a gainst each other, in order to overthrow the constitution of that kingdom-Croats against Magyars, Catholics against Protestants. HAMBURG, May 20th 1851. MR. EDIToR.-Our cotton market has been in a depressed state for the past two weeks, in conse quence of.the-increased receipts of cotton, which has far exceeded the general estimates of the crop.
