(7y 31rutim5.. EDGEFIELD, S.C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1851. Southern Rights Association. TuE Members of the Edgefield Southern d Rights Association, are respectfully request- a ed to meet, at Edgefield C. House, on SALE I DAY next; and to be punutual in attendance as business of importance is expected to be laid before the meeting for their considera tion, JOHN DAUSICETT, President. c A. Si~xtss, Secretary.d gV* THE communication of " VILLAGER," was d handed in too late for this week's paper. t ... t g "WE AND Ptx.Er WOODS" is unavoida- i bly crowded out this week. It shall appear in our t next. R1ELIGIOUS NOTICE, 0 A protracted meeting will commence at Mount Tabor Church on Saturday next. Ministering brethren are earnestly invited to attend. --- -0 LOOK AT THIS, CANDIDATES. I MR. VirtRlL . WHITE has authorized us to f withdraw hi- name from before the people as Can - didate for Ordinary. ATTEND THE CALL. Ar the neeting of the Southern Rights Associ- i ation on Monday next, it is expected that matters Z of great interest, in connexion with the qti son V ef Co-operation, will be discussed. The meners t of that body and nil desirous of mutual exp)lan:L- i tion and definite understanding are earnestly in- h vited to attend. A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. a A large double Chirn-y, running up through a the interior of Mr. C. J. GLoVEr.'s Hotel, in this P place, fellinto the cellar a few days ago. Not a more than a half dozen bricks were ledged on P either floor. A young man, attached to the housfe, t< was quietly leaning back in a chair. with his 0 feet against the chimney at the time of the occur rence. He decamped in time to save himself from it injury. No damage done except the loss of the "i chimney. % WAS IT THE AUTUMNAL GALE. R A severe storn of wind and rain passed over h this part of the country on Sunday morning last. 1 Young corn was blown almost flat, and, as a con- tc sequence, checked in its progress to perfection. C This part of our corn crop was the most promising; il but the cars will now, we fear, be considerably B lightened. The freshet in Saluda River has been b somewhat destructive. Cotton has also been pros- 01 trated, and in some places much injured. The I wet season has caused a large portion of the o squares and young bolls to drop. Rust has made a its appearance in several neighborhoods. Upon ti the whole, the prospect of an unusual turn-out is 1 very much diminished. c DIVISION. WE regret that circumstances (to which we will 0 not now allude) have caused our fellow-citizens of " the Ridge to draw a line of division. We could a have preferred that it should have been otherwise. But as it is now past remedy, we trust that nothing g will transpire at either meeting to engender bitter- E ness of opposition. The District has hitherto lI set it's face almost unanimously against party I -strife, while few objected.to frank4iscussion. We think we arsperfectly right in sayinig that, in this i instance, the Actionists are not to blame. They I sought a junction, and were refused on what occurs to us to be aa inexcusable pretext. They are still 0 disposed to carry out th -ir meeting in all fairness t and accordingly have EXPR.SSiY INvITED JUDGE 0 EUTLERL and CHANCELLoR WARDLAw .to attend n it. Why htas not the other party putrsued asimi- 0 lar courne? WITHDRAWAL OF NAMES FROMl THE ANTI SECESSION RlAXES. b WE are requested by Mr. JoitN Lo'r to utate ti that he was not present at the meeting, which ft adopted certain anti-secession resolutions on the g 3d inst. He has understood that his name is ap- a pended in some way, to those resolutions. He de- io sires it withdrawn, ire is, like every other AC- ti 'rtoNT- in EdIgelield, for Co-operation if attaina- r. ble-but upon failture of 't, hte advocates separate ht action. This is the substance of a letter on this ti uhiect received by uts fromn Mr. Lo-rT. d Mr. Et.StESLEY LoTT, for the same reasons. au-p horiz.es us to withdraw his name from the Coin- a mittee of Arrangements of the anti-secession har- v becue. Wonder how many more of these names b have been used without advice or consultation j& with the gentlemen wvho answer to them! r. OUR EXCHANGES.d TItE last Quarterly Western M3edical News has een recei-:ed, andi read with much interest. This work seem,' to be~ devoted principally to the stub et of " Can-ers and their proper remetdy." The editors, Drs. 0. 0. & T. M. Nm'w'roN, give evt dunce of having been eminently successful in the f cure of this dreadful malady. Thte knife is bumt 1 seldom used in their process. The present tnmber of this jornal states that out of one hund'r:~' a cases attended by thtese Physiciatns. eighty ha;e 0 heen per'nanently healed. -In truth, some of the instances are so remarkable that our credulity has been rotnewhat taxed by them. And yet there seems to be atbumdant evidence of the truth of their stateren-mts. (Queries to o:tr Doctors). .\ re these getntlemn heretical practitioners. or are they orthodox and graduated P'hysicians ? If the lat ter, why do yott not obtain possession of this im portant improvement in the heling art ? If it he true, surely a knowledge of it would be worth a t trip on foot to the Rocky Mountains. But it can be reached by steamboats and railroads at much tl Ies trouble. The Drs. NEwToN are located in Cincinnatti, where the Medical News is also pub. lished. -I SOUTHIERN LITERARY GAZETTE.v The Editor of this paper, in a late numiber, comn- n plains that his brethren of the press, while noti- i cing foreigni pttblications, have rather given his e the "go by." We are sorry that this is the case ; a at the same time, we confess that we among the v rest, are somewhat blameable in this matter. The ra trutth is, in the excitement of political discussion n for the last six months, we have overlooked this joturnal almost entirely. Our " better half" ihow- 01 ever, has been a steady and delighted reader of n it' agreeable columns. We have joined in rte Ri perusal of the last two numbers by the quiet itngle bi side." And thtis notice is the result of the rapid w examintationt there made. at We are glad that we can say conscientiously at that this joturnal is richly deserving of extensive sc Southern patronage. Every lady, especially, wv would find it a most gratefttl addition to her mis- w celianeous reading. The editorial is generally to spicy antI amusing-the contributions quite equmal pt to those found in Northern papers of the kind, and al the selections are made with admirable taste. tih Every South Carolina reader, who is at all pronte to literary indulgence, will find in the Gazette ex- ta trellnt catering for the most fastidious appetite. ag THE POSITION OF PARTIES THREE parties now divide South Carolina. T rgest, beyond all question, is denominated t ction Party. The second, in point of numbei styled the Co-operation Party. The third, whi as yet insignificant, is known as the Greenvi ubmission party. Of tie last we have little othing to say ; because we have for their cre >little toleration, that it would be exceeding iflicult for us to speak of them with that mildne rid forbearance, which it becomes Carolinians, io tryingiucture, to exercise towards each oth ire would only express the hope that they mi et see their delusion before it is too late-bef< icy have been led to the extremity of raising t ring but ponceless arm of resistance agaul ieir mother and sovereign--before they ha amapletely given the reins to that spirit of w isorganizaiion, which is already moving up, seir excited ard turbulent fancies. Yevs! we - ently hope that " a change may soon come 01 te spirit of their dream"-that they may be > view their duty and allegiance as Carolinia: the true light-that they may become conviti iat they are risking the charge of being inser le to both, by their ill-timed recusancy. This ur earnest wish-and we cherish it without 1l air; for we cannot but think that the spell, wh t present controls some good and true men of t iountains, will be broken in time to save the fal f our State from a grievous blemish. Surely ind Providence has not this bitter cup in ste >r us. We prefer to believe faithfully that it w c averted, until we see the stern reality. The Co-operation Party is a larger one, and Dmposed of much of the intelligence and patri m of South Carolina. As to tie true charact tics of this respectable body of our fellow-ei ns, we have perhaps been hitherto in the ia. ie had to draw our concluions, in reference iem, from such lights as they albfrdled us.

And thc present Constitution was ratified by the States, each severally in its sovereign capacity, and at difler Ct periols, some having declined to ratify until 1789tt and 111. After till, a number of the S ates, ant v which were New York and Virginia, expressly reserved the right of withidrawinvt frm the Conifederacy. According to the ninth article of the Id Con fedleration. the Congress could perforim very few of the important functions oif Government with out the concurrence of nine States, or nearly three-fourths of tie States then in the Union; and no amendment can bie made to the Constitu tion now of force, without its having been adopt ee by three-fourths of the States of the Con federacy as States, and not by a certain majority of the people. This statement siows conclusively the impor tance that ias ever been attached to the rights and dlignity of the several States, and establishes their "authority in the exercise of sovereign pow er under the Confeieration." The States then, are equal sovereigns, and consegnently, by the law of nations and of na ture, are equally entitled to the benefits of the common government, and to the common pro perty of the country: andel any attempt to de stroy that equality is tyranny and usurpation, in its most odious form. and should be resisted as a breach of the Constitution and tile original com paet if the States. The Wilmot Proviso is such an infraction of the law, and of the charter of our rights.

The greatest intensity pervades tds State to know what South Carolina will do. Should slilt determine to secede (and God gr:.t she may!) and the General Government anempts tocoerce her back into this " Glorious Unjiim:," I :cssnre you, there are in Georgia Twr.iv TuoUs.ANo IEN that will rush to the rescue: Carolina has gone too far to rceecd-if shte " doubts she is damned!" Let not he2r people suppose they have no friends. The majority of Georgia will die in her defence. Let her ACT, and ACT AT ONCE, and show to " all mvan kind nnd the rest of the world," that she" knows her rights and knowving dare maintain thrm Ft" Ahhougl Georgia determined quiet'ly to sub mit to past wrongs and indignities, she has prc claimed to the world, trumpet tongued, she will submit to no farther aggressions. We have some excitement about polities here. The friends of McDox.sLn nre sanguine, and I have but little doubt of his election. Cherokee will give a good account of lerscif in, October, and this County (Baker) will give him over 300 majority. There is a great and mighty chali'g working in the minds of the people. The cry of " Union, Union, this Oloriou Uon hana lost its charms-the " grand masked batry, bhind whic7h. the Conlarris had foidly hope1Z to elect their Tdla. Mr. Coon gained no votcs in South-Western Gcorain by lis late tour, nna I think lost deal. Tie is a " bitt-r pill"' for many of the Whits to swallow.

Philosophy of Co-Oporation. THs frequent use of the term "co-opernw .iOn," and its flippant utterance by many who lo not understand it, will justify us in explia intion of our nwn views. A true apprecia ion of words is rlways necessary to definite bought or correct conclusions, and this is specilly the e::e in reference to words that bUome the vtbols or parties of great ideas ighating the public mind. The great pre Vailing errors of our political life arearten tiency to mere personal preferences, and a lispo!ition to attach magical virtues to the, formuht or cant phrase of a party.~ It i' h excess of these e:-rors that degrades parties into faction -a result which man only.W* avoided by steady appreciationof-and adher enee to prineipfe and the l'gitiiato us of terms. - Wha t is now meant by ."co-operation ?" rh word has been in every-one's mouth; :md yet very few have taken the trouble to ::sk t henelves the question.- Wo irosiiot ak what is the so-called co-operation part " for undler exiing circumstances," and ,i tile " present aspect of affiairs," no one.dcfini. tion conl be expected to take in all who oc. eupy tLat unexplored tract of country N'e tve. n Greenville and the office just in-reste. of 'e past ofiee at Charleston. Itwnild ie ernel to csk that party so puzzling a, question, or expect them to tell what they wi4h to do when they are evidently bent on' doing nowhing, and ore balling lustily-Ifo' help in that task. But w6* ask gnefil "what is co-operation 1" We may be rigl or not; buL at any rate we will submit ou The term, we conceive,6rst equire'dis-, finct. politie::1 -i-nificanee, and recognition. fomt the use made of it by our Legislature;! It was then used !i connection With the ides of retilanee !nd netion. South' Caiol1in p'eled hrelf on such and such oeesions, as even our schoolboys know, to "co-operate in re:-.istan'e." A pledge was thaikgiven; and. !ike mnost other pledges, waseoirditiod: SoLth C.'rilina said virtually to her sister -;te, "I feel that my convictionj*and du :ivs to myselfrnd mysonsrequiieiesistance.

I see, however, that youare :slnut to ::t, anid I therefore will act with you in preference to taking, at. thi*,ti a ep:niate path of resistance."
