LITTERS FRU. DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN. In reaponse to the invil.ion of the C.,nm ittee to attind the conpinentary innr gicen to our )eprcsettatier, the lion. M. L. BONHAM, at Edglefield. S. C., oan the 2nd &-pteiber. -LracEviLi.a. S. C., Aug. 31st, 1859. Gentlemen: It would 'Mor! me great pleasure to ieot the citirzens of l'.dwfield DIistrict, on the occasion to which you have invited me, and to join in the compliment to your Representative in Congress, the Hon. M. L. BosuAx. - From the bold, independant and sagacious course which that gentleman has pursued in re lation to the recent legislation of Congress, on the subject of slavery in the Territory of han sas, Ithink lie richly merits all the compliments you can pay him ; and although we may not he able to point to any brilliant or elaborate speech which he has made in his short career in the Federal councils, upon which his ihme muight go 4own to p.sterity, there is I think imperilable honor in that vot' against the Conference Bill. It gives us an earuest of the firmniess, the self reliance, and the instinctive wisdon of the man, and his uncomproiisi::g devotion to the rights of. the South. Of course we cannot question the patriotism o. those who voted for this measure ; and, as emong the South Caroliant delegation there, ire Iaen of acknowledged powers of intellec:t and reat olitical experience, all of whon, except 3eu. Boxn.Ix, supported the Cnfeirenice Bill, it iecomes us to look well, and examine thorough ly before we venture to exprss a dissent from the policy they have adopted, and then to ex press that dissent with deference to their superi or abilities. I muat be permitted to say then, that having given a candid and unpartial consid eration t9 the various reasons which have been issigied for this ineasure, I have been unable to find one upon which its prineipe or its policy can be vin licated. I cannot lit regard it as " r. coipromise" to secure the integrity and har mony, Norti and South. of the Democratic party. Its jusmlf i:-ation hias Ieen put up on four sc era! -roums: 1." lat it did not refer the Constitution back to anuother pupular vot,, and therefore was ino concessioni. 2. That the measure secnire the harmony of tU %uth upon the question of' t.oire resistance to . -ry agitation. 3. 1i111t the applicatiot of Kansal. the Le cnnipion Constitution, being rejeic-te, %:II aioth er anti-slavery instrmient and ler alnaIissman ill rhe face of the law retiniriIg a cert:in amoutssi of population, woild ulirrd a bet.L:r i.ostai for re sistausce. . 4. That K-:ois was a .vereign-the L. p ton Conveiion a sereignty and hem- nts. be treated with is a ..zverei :id 'her: ore, applying with an oriinaot' vlilei.g 17,'T acres of land, couildl 1i1.l-e a.11mitted withu1n .,V. ing her the land, or submittinig to her peoie ma.y modification of the termts she prop.1'ed to enter the Union upon. So much has alrealy been said on the first three propositions, that I deem it prolr to say but little in regard to them. As to the first, I presume that Gen. McQuats's wandid avowal, that the Constitution was in fact referred back, and the subsequent rejection of the Coast itution by the popular vote in Kaisas, has put a quiettts upon all efforts to inaintai it ny Imger. As to the second, that it promn'ted the harno ny of the South, I would ask, if we have ever found any difficulty in harmonizing the South upon a measure of submissioun to Northern ag gression on the institutionl of slavery ? Further more, what is the worst that could result from a division of our people on a resistance question ? It is' compromise and concussion to preserve the Union. No.body fears that any ati-resistai.ce party would go for any palpable surrender on the slavery question. hut they might compro mise away our right", which in our judgment, practically, in the end amounts to the smue thing. To prevent this compronising then, by a tri. umphant anti-resistance party in Georgin, Ala bama, &c., South Carolina has been induced to make "the com.pr.mise" herself. I shall may nothing iupon the third headh, as]I cannot believe that any sane mind, after, our re cent experience of compromises at least, can be lieve for a moment, that the anlmission of Kan. s, by the next Congress as a free State would excite a ripple upon the smooth stream of South. era submiosion.--+ Upon the fourth head, I propose to renmark more at length, as I cannot hut think that here we have the root of the whole evil, if Kansas was sovereign, of course it becomes us to treat with her as a sovereign; and she, prpsn a bargain to us, we could not change the terms ol the bargain atid then bind her to it, wuithout as certaining her views as to the change made. 'Now, I believe that all our delegation, with the exception of Mr. BoCEs, have maintained the 'sovereignty of the Lecompton Convention, anud hence of' the people of Kansas. Mr. Ontn, I be lieve, has froni lirst to last, advocated the doc trine of " popular :,overeignty" in the Territo ries. Mr. Kvein, in his speech on the adnisnioni of Kaiisas unuder the Lecompton Constitution. seems to take the same ground ; and spoke of " the dangerous heresy," " the mischievous here ' y,"the ominus heresy," &c., &c., of refertring contiutinsfrom sovereign conventions back for popular ratification. Senator liux-'a's position on this ques4tion seems to be somewhat obscure. Ie says in his speec-h, '-the Conven tion was an assemnbly of the people in thieir-high est sov'ereign capacity, about to perform their highest possible act of sovereignty," and afte-r wards he says "and when a State has grown in to rightful'sovereignty, whecn that sovereignty * which has been kept in abeyaince demnatids re cognition when a comunity is fortmed there, a * social compact created, a .wereipuuy b'rrn :s it were upon the soil, then Conagress is gifted with the power to acknowle Ige it, &c., &c." I would infer from these expressiotns that Senator H.tx Noxu regarded Kansas at the time of her appli cation as sovereign. But there this is negatived in thi-* paiage of the speech. Nor does5 Coii gros hold the sovereignty of Kansas. The .'-sovere.ip:. y of Kansas residecs. if it resides any whmer', wyts the sovereign States of this Uniso." Burtv ihatever may be the position of individ uals of <>ar delegation, it is certain that the great majority of the statesmen of the Southern de im eraev, are firm in their belief that the Let evestJptiotn Convention was sovereign and hence thait Kan~sas was the same ; and they have insde a in e absurd distinction be'wee~n "squatter so~vti-rOty " and " popu lar sovereignty." .If Kansas was sovereign, wheun did she be . enige -o'? Not from the' faet of her enteringr uponi the formation of a State Constitution:; fo-. .it so, this she couldl do at styy timDe in her optioi -:md hence she was sovereign from the mioninn of hur being populated. The .n:isa~s and Ne braska Act of 185 I could not m-.'ke he'r sover eign ; for it o'rganize.1d a goverunment. for hecr, whic-h she could not chan'ge. anad with a ovrnotr app~ointed by the President o'f the Uiiel Stsates. No. people 'are sovereign who do not organtizo their own government and elect their own otlicers. It semis imupossible to point out the timne whetn she became sovereign, unless we tsake the posi .tion that by population she grecw into soreretignty Now the qtuestioni arises can a pteopile grow thtus into so~ver-eignity? Does a certain density of -population always necessarily of itself carry with it sovereignty ? If so, then Ireland, Hun gary, Poland, and all populouis countries are sovereign. Upon the reason of the thiing then the doctrine of the sovereignty of Kanass casnnot a be maintained.' But when yon- come to try the, pJroposition by its effeets, supposing it to be true; it evidently bocomecs more palpabP absurd. Sup ~pose Kausas, after the adoption of her Constitu tion, were sovereign,-then she must be a sover eign State now, out of the Union. If so, she has the right to annex herself to France, from whom we purchased her, along with the Louisiana pur chase for tea millions of dollars. If so, all our Territories, by forming State Constituttionts, will lace themselves in the same situation atid have the Same powers, and can leave us at pleasure, and attach -themselves to any European power. * Any doctrine so irratical in theory andu leading -to so mueh absurdity in its consequences, must ..,.essarily be false. Thme true thecty upon this-subject is contained in~ the last expression quoted from Senator Hanimond's Speech. That the sovereignty is in the United Status; anid the doctrine of Mr. Cal h.oun, on thiis~ subject, was that the Government ~.f the United Staites, must first "withdlraw its aUMonty!. from over the territory," and that this would leave it an independenit sovereignty. Of coarse, ther'e has been no such withdrawal on the . nart of the Governlment in the case of a ; and hence under Mr. Calhoun's expo.ition she '.)uld tot be sovereign. But let us consider for a moment whether even "a withdrawal of its authority" by the Gov-errnent. from ovAr a Terri tor-r would constitute it a sover-igni. The Uiited Stat.s Goiveranntat po-sesmes no suvereigity over the Territory; but only th-, right to exeicise cer tain very gree powers of soveteignty. The sov. reignly t-4vif a.ites in the steveral States. Now, 'ta what way can the Government "with. degW its aithorityl' except by declining to exer ese its powers? If it onily reposex to exereise the sovereign Powers, impliedly delegated to it by the United States, those powers would result b'uck to the United States, and not to the people of the TeSitory. And consequently it is impos sible fumr sover-ignty to pass by this process from the several States to the Territory. The truth is. that the Government, as the agent and trustee of the severd States, with. draws not merely its authority (to wit, the Gor ernmntcut's) but the authority ot the United States from over the Territory. In other words, the Government, although not sovereign in the prem ises, but only posses.<ing the rig t to exercise certain great powers of sovereiguty as lte agent or trustee for the Unittel States, regularly invests the Territorv with sovereiguty; traitsering it froi the United States to the people of the Ter ritor. It derives this power of transfering sov erzignaty, from the satne source that it gets the power t. govern the Territon, viz: It is iaplied in theIr-' iii'.umptio:a of the trust by acquiring the Territory witlhout authority f'ron the Consti. ultion, a,.d also in the acquiesence of the people of the sevaral States in this acquisition of Ter ritory for the purpose of ultimate admission into the Union as States. If then tke Goveranment invests the Territory with sovereigity to make a State, it mtay do this at one time as well as another. It may transfer the sovereignty be'l.re it forms a State Constitu tion, or afterwards, or it may defer it in its option to the tonent of the admuissioa of the new Stait.e int-, the Union. The whole matter is a!wavs en tirelv under the control of the Government. It av11' pa.s an enabling act, with or withiut a r:uier of sovereignty. It may makA cUAdition.4 a'ur the aplienatimt af th:. Territor to e:.tir the Union. I:de-'ed, this I think wotld be always imtnplie 1. Or, it tmay, as it hAs inl fact frequently dome, adimit the Territory without any enabliNg act, and without any transfer of sovereignty, ex iet such as is made iii the instant of adnussion intto the Conl federar V. Dsut it maity lie iimagine, that if the Govern metnt can 'Oastt a Territory t sovereign, it usttit he sovereign itself; atntd consequently inny l:-gsat.- agaitst this: institution of Slavery in the l'a'rri'. ar:', f ein.Ie this bitter deluction ne ..'' . 1: !. t :l!a's froin the pol' ate that the 'taii-: :m.'s Governmreint ik sov.n-i;n over the Terrimtrv. lat it hby io nans follows, that ie ..auss- tl~e G,.v-rinmnt may transfer soverei_,n1ty fom the Utitel States to; the Territory, there r- tbe Uinite.l Sta.-l are sovereign over the Territory. it is t-rJectly compaieteat ftr a sover. ..iain or eiederney of soverei'gnts to empower an arent to transfer their soaverignty over a givetn Territory to another power, or to the peolale Of the Territory themselves, without necevssarily naking that agetnt sovereign. The Government admittedly possesses the rights to exercise mtch soveren"at power over the Territories ; but it is a hust reposed in the Government which it musit exercise for the betelit (at all sections of the Unuiont, North and South ; and hence, any legislation agaitst slavery in the Territory is a violation of the spirit of the Constitution and a breach of the contidence ieposed. If these principles are correct, then Kiainias was not sovereign ; and hence there was no ne cessity to treat with her as a sovereign. But it may be said, even if site were not, the reference back was still reasonable and proper, as it was ilortant to ascertain her views as to the modi flatiou nade in the land matter before receiving her into the Union. There can be no doubt that if the question of aditittinag Kansas had to be tried upon its own proper merits as nn individu ad iastance, and without reference to the cause of the Government in other previous cases, there would be nuch to be found in the situation and condition of that Territory to forbid its iantroduc tion intto the Confederacy. But the question was not, what ought~ to be the pre-requisites of' a peaople applying for admission,-but shmould any dtutinction be made- between a Slare Slate and a fee.S!wi sh prsesniay. thiemselirea. T he pre eedents plainly demonstrate.thaethme Government has long since abandoned aniy notion that either populatin or organism is a necessary pre-requis ite. The poinats upon sucha applications ais are now a-days decided, arc, will it make a Democratic State? or will it mnake. a Fre-State? And the inadecent hauste with which thev' tire now ushered intto the Untioni regardisns of' their fitness for a place among the august mnemabers of' the great Confederacy, is stronagly indicative of the ap proachinag disrnaption of the Union. No body ever dreamed that Kansas was to be admnitted (an r-ejected utpon her fitness or unfitness for the U'nion; but up on the paisage of' the Nebraska Act of 185 1, the North turnued their attention to c:ollottising that Territory by Emigrant societies, witha thne view to exela-le thte South and restrict Slavery ; anad the whole question was, should she apply' with a Slave or Free Constitution ? Thec opetrtati of' these~ societies wats a fonl ng gression int itself utprmi the South. Withaout Slave ry Wzitation Kansas wvonidl have become as much aShive State as Missouri. Their soil, climate and productions tare the same. We have it utpotn tie authority ot' Setntor HIutMsosNi that Slavery' will go wherever it is profitable, anad thant it will ' et probably take possessiotn of the whole valley ol'f the .Mlissisippi. Had the institution there not beena assailed by these Emtigrant Aid-Socia' tie.4, at least had thtere been tao Slaver)' agitation, Kansas would slowly aind silently ha~ve fallen to the~ lot of the South. Thec enterinag into compe tition wvith. us there for thuis Territory, which, by its locationa and other chtaracteristics was an out let for oura populiatiotn anad not for the North there beintg maillionts of' acres of hand amore ac cessible to them,---as, had it been froam the first ever so successftul, a foul atggrcssion upotn us. But whten they failed to get possessioni of' the Territorial Gov'ertnmentt, whlic.h fell inato the hands of Southler~a mnt, failed to conatrol the Gou~avenmtio t, and faledl to obtainan ant uttiSlavery Constituton-butt ont thace ontrary gointg throtagh till the formts ohf lawv, andi after repeated appeatls t', thue ba:llot box Kansas aptplied witha a Slave Constitut;oa-wvhat considera.tion did thtese A bo liti.:ntists deserve at thae htands of the Gov-ernmnett? W~as it juast that thme Cotnstituttion should be re fu'red back to atnother poptular vote, becautse at the haist momnent they htad suacceeded in their ne furious scheme~i of oibtainitng a forced and a unat urat mnajority? Let us reverse the case, aind suppose that it waus thne North who controlled thae ferritorial Legislature, hatd a majority iat the Cotnventtiona anad formted a Free State Consti tuttioni and applild fair admnissioin uander it, amnd it was the Soath who, at time last nmomnent, oh tained time nueca major'ity of the population, does anuy satme mani believe that Con~stitutiont would htave been refered bacek?

It is true it was lost to tis byilhe aggressive nmethodst of thte North -and it is true thuat in the Katnsas Contference Act, we have the declaration of those who votead first that they would moat object to a Slave Comn stitution. 1 do not doubt that we could have ob. tained from the Northten Democracy any amaioutt of good wholesome prinaciples declared uapon paper or otherwise uipoin this point, short of any fact of admnittingy a Stat'e State inmto Ithe Un~ion.

The report industriously circulated by my enemies, that I have said " That no mechanic ought to have a monument erected over him," must have grown out of certain remarks that I used in a speech at the Biar during the last Term of our Court, which occurred in the following connection : In attempting to account for my client having temn Iporarily left the State, I assigned bitter political prejudice as his probable motive, and cited among other things In support of my position, the fact of an effort having been made to eret a monument over pthe unfortunate deceased, when I, in substance, said, " That, monuments are usually ereecd to States men, Warriors or men, distinguished fur having con furredl great benefits upon the community in which they livedl. Dot what are the factas in this case ? It ia in evidence, that the ill-fated decceasedl, was killedl arounld the table of a Faro Bank,-that he was nt that time the card-case keeper of that Faro Bank, and the crection of a mo~numnst over the cardi-caed keeper of a Faro Brank is withour, all precedent." I spk thus in the dischatrge of whaut I beheredl to bee m~y diuty to mvy client, aml 1 no0,0 reriLe it oenly ini rindiction~ of myaelf;. for I trust in God, that I am not the man to disturb with a rude hand, the sacred ashes of the dead, or re-open heart wounds of the liv ing not yet cientrizod. And in the expressions of these sentiments, I am not coniscious of having said ainythinsg that can wound the feelings of mechanics as individuals or as a class. I recognize amnongst them sonmc of my best and warmaust friends; and in forming my friendships, I never look to the calling, but to -the main. "The rank is but the gnineasta'np The man's tho'gold for all that." Malicious clamors have likewise been raised against me, to the effect that I am an avowed atkeist. When or where I have done or said anything to give rise to this report, I am'at a lose to coneive; fur only "the fool has said in his heart there is no God." My ear liest associations, were with religious persons; the spirit of a beloved father, who, for more than twenty years was an humble follower of Christ, would re buke me were I to speak lightly of religion; and I feel that I would do violence to the early and continued teachings of a fond moother, were I anythin'g else in ventimient than a Methodist. Why my religioeus views, whatever they may be, are perverted at thi, juncture, whilst I accord to others their constitutional righ t of " worshiping God under their own vine and fig tree," must he evident to every judicious mind. Probably some of those Pharisees had better look to the culti vation of their aon Christian virtues; and remember the inspired words "judge not, lest ye he judged." As to the remaining~ contemptible cry against me, that I have said " I want no poor man's vote,"-the bare statement of such an absurdity carries falsehood upon its face. I am but a poor man myself, and it would be hut natural that I should hope for their support, if I could expect anything from my own poverty or theirs. Neither Is properly any more than occupation, the standard by which I measure men. 'Not content with ther foregoing scandal to poison the poor against me, the proud-purse rich bar, hissed lend whispers, that I have aspired to an office fur which I have note the property qualiiaeation. Surely the thousand pangs and stinging mortifications of being "hound like Ixion to the serpent wreathed wheel of poverty" ought to be sufficient, within itself, without having to'suffer the unfounded reproach of those who enjoy vulgar wealth.

That " the golden bowl is broken, And loosed the silver throad" That cold anl heavy mods Are heaped above thy breast Whereon my head in infancy Was ever hushed in rest! They say that thou wort sitting As usual in thy chair, When death's angel stole in softly And left thy sumnmons there; That after a long andi quiet sleep llcaven's gate was left ajar, e And thy happy spirit entered Where Jesus' chosen are! And there, me think, I see thee With a crown upon thy head, United to thy loved ones Who before thee thence had fled; I Thy beauteous babes of "long ago" With tiny harps in hand, And children grown with victor's palms Amid the radiant band.

THE Cnors.-Information as to the cotton crop,-from all portions of our District, gives little hope of even an everage yield this year. If there is any exception it is mainly in the Horse River north eastern section. In the Longtown region, too, we hear less than usual murmurs of drought. The cotton crop of the District, we are led to infer from estimates of - intelligent planters, will fall considerably short of average, perhaps as much as one-third short. The central lower, and all tle Broad River re 0 gions are very dry.
