THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1851.
The Last Opinion of Calhoun.
PEOPLE of Carolina, hear the last declaration
of your great CALHOUN, and let it sink deep into
your hearts :
" IF CALIFORNIA IS ADMITTED, AND NO OTuIRR
STATE WILL AcT, SOUTHI CAnrOLINA IMUST
ACT ALONE.."
OUR EXCHANGES.
TuE first number of the " GEORGIA IloitE GA
ZETTE," has been received at this office. It gives
its patrons an earnest of becoming an excellent
laborer in the field of light literature. The "HOME
GAT7rTTE" is published in Augusta, by ROBERT
A. WHYTE, Editor and Proprietor.
"The " WoRKING FARMER" for October, is
also on our table, containing its usual variety of
useful information.
We beg pardon for having failed to acknow
ledge, hitherto, the receipt of the "SOUTHERN
ADvoCATE," a neat and well con lucted paper,
Published and Edited at Anderson C. H., by Mr.
RicE. It is devoted, principally, to the cause of
Southern Co-operation.
PENDLETON MESSENGER REVIVED.
WE are glad to announce that this paper only
sunk below the horizon for awhile, to rise again at
an early day, and we trust with renewed effel
gence. Welcome back to the lists, staunch old
advocate of State Rights ! There is a terrible
time ahead-and your sword, once drawn, may
never be returned to its scabbard. Do as you have
done-and the tide of consolidation and abolition,
which seems destined to take its rise among our
mountains, may possibly be turned aside from the
lovely plains below.
We take this occasion to entreat our brethren of
the press throughout the State (or whatever party)
to strike their heaviest blows at once, before the
DEMtON, which is now stalking among us at mid
night, shall impudently walk abroad at the noon
day hour. Unless patriots unite with a hearty good
wilr to avert the threatening evil, this (lemon may
yet preside- at and control the ballot-box.

EDGEFIELD PLANK ROAD.
WE understand that this road is now completed
from the eight mile house to the corporate limits
of the town of H1amburg. The workmen will he
placed, at as early a day as possible, on the upper
part of the road. We trust the company will dis
appoint the frequently uttered prophrei-s as to the
4 tardiness of this useful work's completion.
We have heard many high commendations of
the excellence and utility of the road. as far as it
has progressed. Let the public once become ac
customed to its advantages, and it will become as
fixed as any other necessity of the day. Those
advantages once realized, and the enterprise can
not fall through.
Within a year, it is hoped that the greater part
of this road will he completed, and then Charles
%on will be brought to our doors also. or at least
quite as near as we wish it. The trip from our
Village to the City can then be made in from
eight to ten hours.
PREMIlUI OFFERED.
Wc propose to take, from the shelves of our
Library, one of the very neatest volumes in our
- possession and present it to the individual who
shall give us the most satisfactory solution of the
following question : What has caused tile sad
decline of sociality in our community of late
years?
Competitors ihr thle premitum are requested to
hand in their solutions by the 1st of November.
It is hoped that each one will confine his remarks
to two sheets of letter paper.
Ourself, ottr pretdecessor, and a third person, to
Be chosen. by us, will form thle coturt of adjudica
taun..
TIlE LATE ELECTION.
It wvill be seen, from the returns we publish to
day, that " Secession" (perhaps we ought so say
" immediate action"') has been beaten rather bada
ly throughout the State. How ouir brethren gen
erally take it, we cannot inmgine. For our own
part, we thlought at first of nurturing in our bo
som a high feeling of disdain which would lo~ok
down conltemptuously upon thle whole affair. But
this wvould'nt relieve the hear:. Thlen we essay
ed to use such expressions as " Well, our skirts
are clear," " Thou canst not say we did it"
&c. But this would'nt do eithler. So it has oc
curred'to us to make a frank s.cknowledgemett of
the truth, as confessions are said to be efficacious
in such cases. We therefore admit that, for the
iast few days, we have felt a good deal like the
fellow did when lhe sttumped his toe. Hie said he
was too big to cry, and it hurt hima so d-dl bad
he coi'ld'nt 1augh1. Was'nt he in a " phix,"- -
However-hlope has returned to otur bosom, anti
we are ready once more for the engagement.
PURGE THlE GARNER,
WE have written an article or two for our pre
sent number, wvhich we trust breathe thle righut
spirit. They have b~een the restlt of an hotnest
and calm communing with our own heart. But
we wish it to be clearly understood tihat, in what
wve say of parties in South Carolina, we banish
from our mind every thlought of affliation with
any men or set of men who arc in the least tainted
wvithu the teachings of Consolidation or Abolition.
And whatever reference we make to theC Co-oper
ation party of South Carolina is made under the
supposition that this party has as littde affinity for
these enemies of our rights and our institutions
(whether at hoeme or abroad) as the Secessionists
have.
lie, who is not blind, must see and acknowledge
that, within the few past years, while Carolinians
have slept, " the enemy has come and sown tares"
in our midst. And now it has become the high
and sacred duty of every patriot in the State, be
he Co-operationist or Secessionist, to take an oath,
upon the altar of his own peculiar country, never
to give " sleep to his eyes, or slumber to his eye
lids" until the garner is purged, the good wheat
preserved, and all filth and corruption cast out
from among us. We cannot Begin the good work
too soon.
Believing that the Co-operatioa party (proper)
sympathises- with these expressions, we have indi
cated our willingness to put our shoulder to the
wheel in promotion ofany scee they may devel
ope, which shall be efficient for guarding the
liberties, preserving- the institutions and saving
the character of our common State.
But let tnhat sifting out of the tares first take
place. This is an essential requisite to such con
ciliation as will result in positive good.
S .. -
WHOOPING-COUGHI.
As we have heard that this complaint is preva
lent, at this time, in several sections of the Dis
trict, we pltuck from an exchange paper the follow
ing sitmple prescription. Thle Editor, who gives
it, avers that he has tried it in his own family with
success :
" Mit equal portions oif rum, honey and linseed
nil. an'l Erive one1 table-spoonful. wvhenever the
couch is at all troublesome. It will eflect a cure
in a few days."
TIlE DIFFERENCE---BEAR IT IN mIND.
THE dominant wing of the Southern Rights
party in South Carolina (the Co-operationists)
have distinctly announced that " they believe the
time has come when " this Union should be dis
solved." The Southern Rights parties of all the
other Southern States have declared that they do
not so believe.
The dominant party in our State has " earnest
ly invoked" our Convention elect " to determine
by a solemn ordinance" what relation to the Fed
eral Government it shall become us to occupy,
until some other State shall come up to our posi
tion. We quote from the Charleston Co-operation
Resolutions, which we believe have been pretty
generally adopted as tie party creed. No one can
imagine that this invocation, thus solemnly and
formally expressed, meant that the Convention
was desired to adjourn without any kind of action
whatever. It seems to us clearly inferable, from
the reading of the entire resolution, that something
was held in contemplation which would require
the sanction of the "representatives of South
Carolina sovereignty," duly declared by an ordi
nance. This inference is corroborated by the fact
of an imaginary ordinance having been put forth
through the public prints by a thorough-going
Co-operationist, looking to certain definite mea
sures of State action, sinrtof the act of secession.
We do not remember an instance in which this
"sketch of an ordinance" was distented from by
any member of the party which published it.
But several prominent Co-operationists have indi
cated similar views-and we therefore suppose it
perfectly fair to conclude that the dominant party
above mentioned, will take some acittal steps to
wards meeting Federal aggression.-The Southern
Rights party of no other Southern State ccuttpies
any such attitude. On the contrary, in Georgia
they have acquiesced finally in the decision of the
Union party of that State. They do not look to
any definite steps of redress or resistance. They
do not propose to contend' further, mlss new
aggressions occur-and even then they give us no
grotnd to hope that they will strive for a Soutiern
Confederacy. The position of the Southern
Rights parties in all th'e other Southern States is i
mich the same.
The dominant party in . onth Carolina (if the
opinions of their worthy and distinguishedleaders
may he taken as a correct expression) declare tltat
they will never submit to past aggressions. The
Southern Rights parties (if the other Southern
States have already yielded to the force of cir
cumstances, and have submit ted.
We design, by drawing this contrast, to show
that South Carolina (even as she now stands) can
not he classed as yet upon the list of submission
States. Where the developments of the next six
months may place her, we cannot conjecture.
We have all along feared that, if action failed. she
too wovuld ultimately slide into submission. But,
forbidden as we are by tite history, <)f tihe day to
recur to her " anins opibusque parat;," we yet
cast our eyes with fait h to her " dam spiro, spero"
--and we hone on for tite best. Attd we say to
our brother SeCes.iontistF-" lift up your heads and
be not east down." Our destiny is still in the
hands of those who are " bone of our bone, atd
flesh of our fle.,h." When they deceive us-and
not till then-shoid we despair.
Below we give the resolioien in full, to which
we have alluded above. We lave italicized sev
eral passages to call particular attention to them:
G. " R:'solecd, That as our hope of deliverance
at this crisis rests on the formation of a :Southern
Confederacy-a conclttsion which wie believe to
be entertained hy a large uc.ij'rity of the people of
Seitmb Carolina-we woul earnestly itevoke the
early action of otur State Convention. whlenever
it shtall be assembled to devise and adoupt suchl
nteasttres, as, in their wiecdonc shall seemO tost
effectual to bring abuent a system of contcert and
co-operation among the slive-htling States, in
resistitng thte agrgressions of the Federal Govern
mentc; anid also as re'presecnting the sov-ereignty of
South Carolina, to deternmine by a solemni ordi

thte State. sttchl a rourse of action as will enalIe

Now if neo acticon, othter tihan setting on foot a
scemne to produce co-operattion, lhad been destgn
ed, the first half of this resolution would leave
been amply sufliciettt. The addiion oef the otheer
half, expressed as it is in strong andI poineted tertms,
is te fotundation of ottr hope ancd expecca:it'n, that
Carolina will yet tnke ste-ps foerwardi.

PATRIOTISM----uWHAT DOES IT TEACI US?
WutL patriotism is perhaps the holiest princi
ple ingrafted upon the human heart (after the love
of God), yet (sad reflection !) there is scarcely
another, within the whole range of virtues, more
frequently desecrated through caprice, or passion,
or prejudice. Especially is this the case with men
who have just passed through a civil contest
which has called into exercise the heated feelings
of party strife. The defeated are too apt to give
way to the promptings of disappointment and F
mortified pride-the successful, not unfrequently,
err quite as much by yielding to the suggestions of
F
inflated arrogance. The patriotism of Carolinians!
is now being subjected to this trying ordeal. And
we fondly hope it will come out liko gold from the
furnace, refined and purified.
Upon this point, we would venture to address a
very few words to that party with which we have
had the honor to act for the past year-a party, with
whose views our feelings and convictions have b
been bound up-but a party, whose policy seems
now to be condemned by the people of their at
State.
Let us, first of all, bear in mind this reflection:
Our defeat does not imple ',at we have either
railed in the discharge of . duty or in the im
partial exercise of our reason upon the great issues
before us. There may be a few individual in- i
tances among us, where ambition or perverseness
took the reins from both reason and conscience;
although in all sincerity we avow our belief, that a
the Secession party of South Carolina is as slight- I
ly amenable to sich charges, as any party that
evcr struggled for the prevalence of its principles. I
Some such instances, however, are unavoidable I
incidents of every controversy of the kind. We
hould not, and we do not lay claim to any supe- b,
rior degree of exemption from the frailties of hu- m
manity. But we do lay claim to an honesty of:
purpose, fully equal to that which has claracter ti
ized the most intluential branch of our immediate r
pponents. And this, every generous bosom
among them will allow us. We do lay claim to i
the mnrit of having acted both considerately and
conscienciusly in the maintenance and further- It
ance of that course which we adopted. And this
will doubtless be readily admitted by all. We do
lay claim to an intensity of devotion to the honor 'i
and welfare of South Carolina, unsurpassed by
that of any other party within her borders.
Neither will this be gainsayed. In short, we, as C
a party, lay claim to the pure spirit of elevated
patriontisi: and in doing so, we deny it not to :!
thers. We earnestly believe that a large major. 01
ity of both the prominent political divisions of our P1
people have been actuated by genuine patriotism b
nf the big best grade. And it will so be recorded by I
it
the fiinifit historian, if both parties now do their
ruty to the Sia'e. Here is the test. And it now
becomes every true Carolinian (of whatever polit.
ical creed) to examine himself well, lest he fall
into Fomte extreme error, on one side or the other,
and1 thus mutilate the fair fame of our common b
mother, more grievously than our unfortunate r
schisms h:m already d]one it. h
Let us bring our every impulse to the touch- ti
stone of that patriotism wich we profess, and if I
it be not conornable thereti, let it he east out as Il
evil. Especially. let not Secessionists, who thus i
far feel a proud consciousness of rectitude, do
aught to detract from the glorious brightness of S1
their position. To avoid a result so much to be al
deprecated], let us conduct ourselves with mild- II
C
ness, respect and aflection towards our opponents.
Let us Ilook no them with hope. Let tis await, with
as nmunch cronfldence as we can, tine development
of their plan of resistance. (They have assured
us one is to be forthcoming). Let us not fail to I
give any suchn plan onur most respectful considera
tion. If it maitntains tine hnonnor of our State, let C
us rejoice at it. If it gives promise of disenthrall- e
ing tine hampered sovereignity of South Carolina, I
(even thoutghi it be prospectively) let uns stand by ti
it and defetnd it, if in shall have bnecomne clear that ti
nothintg better ent be carriedi to consutmmatio~n. tI
Ahtnve all, let ins clinig to our dear old Palmetto j
State " thnroutgh evil as well as thtrugh good re- S
port." We featr that she ' ill be taunuted as a t
"poor braggadocio" thnroghout tine letngthn and I

We said, in a brief comment. on the elee
)n, that. it really settled nothiniig as to ilie
:tion of the State; that tte Co-operation
id Secession parties would meet in the
Lgislture, which called the Convention,
id in (lie Convention whieh emhodied the
vereign power of the State, and would
ere try the great question of Resistniee
- Submission. We only hinted at this
atter then; we desire to dwell upon it
ore at length.
The Legilature passed the Convention
i by nn almost unaninis .vote. The
me bodv of men will be enlied tipon to

I that we have heard, we are convinced that
telh will be their decision.
Now there are not ten Unionists in the

Vin.GI.-The two great parties in the
commonwealth of Virginia have held their
conventiorn preparatory to the fa!l elections.
The Whigs have nominated as their candi
dates Geo. W. Summers for Governor, Sam
uiel Watts for Lieutenant Governor. S. S.
Baxter for Attorney General. The Demo
erats have nominated Joseph Johnson for
Governor, Shelton F. Lenke for Lieutenant
Governor,and W. P. Bocock for Attorney
General.
The Richmond Examiner, in reviewing the
political life of MLfr. Summers, proves hin,
Iy his spetehes and his poli:ilenl votes, to be
hostile to the institnions of the South-in
short. that he is litle less Ihain an abolition
ist. This is rapid progress.--South Caro
linina.
In nlluding to the recent unfortunate per.
sinal conflier between Chancellor Clark. of
Alabamn, a Southern Rights man, and Hion.
U1. J. Thornton, a Union man, the Mont
gaonery, Ala. Journal attempts to be witty.
We don't admire the tnste that attempts to
matke a joke out of such an affhir, espeeially
as the joke i< on the other side. Mr. Thorn
ton struck Mr. Clark in the mouth and
Wounded him-elf in the hand. which after
wards infiamed. and Iid to )e- amputated.
The Journal regrirds this as evidence that the
teeth of a fire-eater are poisonons. We
tihink it. at least, eqally evident that, inl con
flict with Southern Ritls men. the submis
