if manners, their public frugality and their ir vmcible courage, with a re-enforcement of on) 4000 English, maintained the independency these Proinces, against the then most powerfS monarch in Europe. 5. The liberty struggle of the Poles, so tamou in history, and in many respects, so worthy < admiration, was unsuccessful from several cause Poland was surrounded by three of the large: and most despotic powers on the globe-Russra Aus-raA and Paussi -all secretly planning an< working her overthrow. She could derive littl aid from any external source. She was con pletely cut off from all liberal and sympathizing nations. Notwithstanding this, however, it i the opinion of many European Statesmen, tha but for internal dissensions, Poland might stil have maintained her independence against all the machinations of the triple alliance. In tha country, the masses were under the most abso lute slavery to their nobles; and the nobles a: feudal Lords, 'independent of the crown, wer< at constant warfare with each other. The. State had no uniting principle. Discord and dissen sion reigned throughout their entire struggle for independence. - Similar causes operated to defeat the recent UUNGARrA. contest. Jealously among the prin cipal races, the Maygars, the Croatians, and the Selavonians, inflamed by the golden promises of Russia and Austria, produced the wonderful de fection in the triumphant armies of Hungary, and suddenly defeated the proud hopes of Kossu-ru and the genuine patriots. for their country's in dependence. SrTWhile these struggles illustrate the heroic efforts of gallant people for their liberty, they at the same: time, show the danger of internal dis sensions, which are always fatal to the prospects of great national enterprizes. 6. In resolving to resist the huge power of the British Government, our own ancestors evinced a spirit of determination and valor, that must excite the admiration of all future ages. Rather than live under a government not their choice, though incomparably inferior in numbers, wealth and power, to their enemy, they chose to risk their all-their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. 'Amid defeat, disaster and priva tion, often without elothing or ammunition, with the swamp for their resting place, and parched corn and potatoes for their food, they persevered in their manly efforts, till they gained for us our glorious inheritance of liberty. Can we ever consent togivaup that inherritance with a strug gle less resolute and noble than that by which it was achieved ? 7. The little State of modern GREECE, em bracing only 21,000 sqr. miles, with about S00, 000 inhabitants, after a long struggle, achieved her independence against one of the largest des potisms-having 'an area of 600,000 sqr. miles, and a population of 20,000,000. Under so many toils and disadvantages did this brave people fight against their oppressors, the Tunas, their struggle for liberty is become one of the most famous in history. Who has not read the patrio tic appeals fWEsTrEEand CIAY, on behalf of this gallant people? Wh'ocos not know that joy and delight thrild -the public mind of this country on hie ig'ofrinrglotois successt In 1827 Greee established, her independence, and has sidee qitlyr maintained it.'"~ .8. TE as .e all, now, without resources, and with a mere hansdful of men, aided- by irre gular volunteers from the .United States, with a daring boldneiss worthy of. all praise, continued throngh a sisx. -earstruggle achieved her inde pendenee against Mexico with a population of 7,000,000, trained to war for the last fifty years. d. Net the least memorable instance, in mod ern times, of a small state struggling against a powerful nation, is that of CAUCAsUs against Rus sia. This truly brave people, occupying an ex tent of Tarritory5 between the Black and Caspian ees, not larger ithan South Carolina, has for years hedain check, and bafied all the efforts of the Russian Autoemat, with an Empire of 60,000, 000 ofinhabitantsand a standing army of 760,000 men, though the war has been carried on with the most relentless vigor. What but the boldest spirit, guided by an.overrnling intelligence, could sustain this handful of men against forces so nu merous and powerful? [n this calculating age, is it not a miracle of bravery ? Is it not worthy of emulation ? These few incidents, casually suggesting thiem selves, teach ua some important lessons suited to the present emergency of our political affairs. This is an historical truth. The succes of a gal Zent struggle on the side of right and justice, against wrong ad oppression is almost ineaita Lle. How can we, then falteri With the wrongs and insults that have been inflicted on us, with our gloomy prospets in this Union, and with the noble efforts of these small but gallant States in the cause of liberty before us, can wre fold our arms in submissive apathy, till we arc complete ly clenched by the iron shackles of Northern despotism? 'When so many small States have nobly risen up to relieve themselves from the yoke of the tyrant, shall we be deterred from grappling with the Northern despot for our liberties?. But it is maid our cause is a common one, and we should wait for the other States The sooner we move in prudence and firmness the sooner they will join us. But we must move or they will desert us. When TErLL was out. raged by the Austrian government, did his coun try-men wait till all the cantons had made com men cause for their common liberties ? No ! the' am onoe ftew tp arms, and with only 400 or 50' began the eventful struggle with was to consti tute Switzerland a famous Republic. Had Ho! land awaited the union of her seventeen Provin ces, she might never have thrown offithe Span Ish yoke. With a small feree she began the con test, when others joined, and she achieved he Independence.' Our' own colonies did not wai for general concert before beginning the Revolt tios. A few daring spirits threw the tea over board. The British Government resorted t violene, and the torch of freedom was lighte up all over the country. South Carolina set u for herself.an independent government monti before any of the other States. Let the blow fc our liberties be once given, and the flame of re sistance will soon rage over all these Souther States. But there inust be a practical issue soxme startling evpnt that will brealk pp old part schackies, before these States will omne to thi econliet. Why should mae who are insa favorab) situation, hesitate to make this issue ? What d we dreadi A fw~leral army i Aniattempt tohi vude our soil with an army would blow the Unid to pieces in less than ix months. No body doubi tis. no we funr a blockade of our Vorts ? Wou] - not this be war to all intents? And once in w Y with the government, what. could -we do b f adopt all the means which the God of nature m 1 place in our hands ? As all other nations ha done, we eeuld borrow money, raise troops, bul s rhips for which we have ample materials, gra f letters of Marque and reprisal and enlist priv . teer to disturb the commerce and annoy t] t fleets of the enemy. Who believes that the Go ernment could for 'ny length of time sustain blockade? Public opinion would remove 1 and if not that, bloodshed and destruction. Oce: Steamers are kuown to lie effective agents eluding and getting rid of blockading Fleets, ar men of military science are acquainted with cc tain instruments of war, called Fire-skips,* th I would soon make way with the largest Reven cutters and Men-of-irar. These means and others which the genius war never falls to devise to meet the exigenci of the occasion would come to our aid. " B< sides, there is a just God, who presides over ti destinies of nations; and who will raise t friends to fight our battles for us." That Gc is always on the side of right and justice, an whatever HE befriends will ultimately prospi and prevail. Do we doubt the justice of oi cause? If not, let us use properly the means I our command, and we cannot doubt our sueces We must succeed. But shall we pause to consider the chances < failure? What! pause to deliberate whether c not we will protect our property, sustain our au eient renown, and our dear-bought liberties Pause, to determine whether or not we shall b slaves ? Whether or not we shall maintain th the glorious heritage, to gain which caused on ancestors to toil for years amid dangers, difficul ties, and privations? Oh! let it not be recordei in history, that within 80 years after our gloriou struggle for independence, the descendants c our revolutionary sires have sunk into degenera cy: have lost the spirit necessary to maintaib the renown and liberty of their fathers. Cai we bear to stigmatize the yet unspotted fame o our State ? Will we entail unhEard of evils upoi innocent generations to be born, by forcing then to become the slaves of Northern fanatics ? Le this never be our disgrace. No! let us resolv upon action-dignified, discreet, bold actihn: characterized by a spirit of harmony and concili ation; generous towards one another and to wards our neighbors ; but sternly bent on achiev iig our independence and liberties.

The Declaration of Zndependenco IN CONGRESS, June 7,1776.-The delegate from Virginia moved that the congress should declare that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independeni States, that they are absolved from allegianec to the British crown and that all political connection between them and the State 01 Great Britain is, and ought. to be, totally dissolved. Jn ,177.Teao In CongressJne8176-habv resolution came up for consideration, and wits referre . n uue C into which they immediately resolved them. selves. As at present, there were then two parties -the one advocatirng delay, the other recom. mending prompt andA decisive measures. It was argued'by the delay party or co. operationist-thiat though they wvere friends to the proposed measures, yet they wecre against adopting them at this time, "That it was unwise to take any capital steps the voice of the people drove to it. " That the people of the Middle Colonics (Maryland Delaware, P'ennsylvania, the Jer seys, and New York) were not yet ripe foi bidding adieu to British connection, but that they were fast ripening, and in a short tinme would join in the general voice of America. These, besides ninny other reasons, were assigned against the resolution offered by the Virginia delegation. On the other side it was argued by the immediate secessionists that all were agreed upon the subject o; secession, "that they only differed as tC time and that in their opinion the time wai now at htand. That the people were ready and were only wvaiting for them to lead. " That it was vain to wait for unanimity That the conduct of some of the colonieo from the first manifested something of settlec policy on their part to keep in the rear of the confederacy ; and that they had thrown them selves forward from the firatto come forwar< now. " That the history of the Dutch revolution of whom three States only confederated a first, proved that thme secession of some o the colonies only wams not so dangerous a was apprehended. That unless we declared ourselves rree anm idependent, foreign powers would not cnte into any alliances with us. The co-operationists or delay party, find ing that the immediate secessionists wier bent upon carrying their measures, finall; gave in their adhesion. They were, howevel allowed several weeks to consider the mattem and in the meantime, or whilst they wer thus engaged in their deliberatianis, thm committee appointed to draft a declaratio of independence, applied themselves to thei task which was executed and repiorted on th 2d of July and agreed to, and signed on thm 4th by every member except one. This scrap of history we regard sirikingl applicable to the present position of partie and we would commend to the Co-operatior ists of the present day, the noble exampl st by their ancestors of the same politic: reed who approved of apolicy wvhich did nic entirely receive the sanetion of their owm judgments and who thtus by a patriotic an commendable acquiescence removed one< the greatest ob stacles in the way of coast tutionel liberty.-Winnsboro Register. -The following extract from the speech< -the Hon. A. P. BUTLER, as delivered in tI South Carolina Legislature, upon the BI clling a Convention of the people of i State in 1830, should afford much encourag ment at the present time. " If our principi are right, South Carolina, smalL as she acan maintain them AS WELL AS TWEN1 sTATEsyoED p"Sir, The cause of liberty never rui smooth. It is acquired by peril, and pr served by vigilance and firmness. Supii -indifference and confident security, are ineo sistent with its permanent existence. Thme iwho have been in the van of the great eo tests to obtain and preserve it, have had egcntnd with difficulty, and to encounter t< eand hazard. It is the natural disposition Slarge masses, to love quietude and securit while evils arc tolerable, rather than mali qany exertion to *right themselves. Evi Moses, the inspired man of God, found I~ difficult to prevail upon his brethren to lea a the land of their captivity, for the land , rmisn and liberty. Contented with th< ar servile condition, they dreaded to embark in ut the wilderness of uncertainty. But who is it that would not rather have gune with Moses, and submitted to oil the privations of the wilderness, than have remained and been fed out, of the flesh pots of Egypt, by A tha hands of a master. A virtuous and gal %- lant people, in a good cause, never have failed. e If we are right and do not falter in our measures, we must succeed. If our princi pies are right, South Carolina, small as she is, a can maintain them as well as twenty States joined. The Constitution will be her shield; n weak as we appear, and strong as the Federal a Government may seem, in the hour of trial. d we may have the strength of David..they the weakness of Goliah. If the Federal Govern ment is wrong, and we right, justice will itprevail." From the Columbia Telegraph. Later News from the Old World. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

T IIE SUBSCRIBER possesses a Receipt to 1 enable any person to make Ice, in any cli mate, with but little expense or trouble. The process is simple, and can be accomplished by the most limited understanding, so as to produce from even warm water, in the hottest climate, a PURE ICE, equal in every essential to that formed by natural causes. The luxury of always having at one's will, in the heat of summer, a pure and delicious Ice, will readily be conceded ; and its advantages, in cases of sickness cannot be too greatly prized. By this same process warm water can be rendered delightfully cold in about 5 minutes, and ice creams, with many other luxuries, can be made in from 10 to 20 minutes. The following notice of this great discovery is taken from the New York Sun: " A REAL LUxuaf.-Dr. James R. Wilming ton produces, by an artificial process, pure and solid ice, from water, in the heat of summer, in less than half hour. And he can render a bar rel of water as cold as ice itself in a very few minutes. This discovery must be of Immense value to all living South." TEas.-This receipt, which contains full in structions for making Iceo and lee creams, cooling water, and numerous other useful matters will be forwarded to order for Two Dollars, by ad dressing Da. JAS. R. WILMINGTON, 122 Nassau at., New York.
