LtJyrr Mr. Editor,?Sir: In the last number of tku Ledger, I see you have expressed a 1 desire to learn of the Representatives for lawaitsr District, whether they arc in fawor of the Stato being represented in the Ciacinnat'i Cwnventiou or not As one who iin part, baa had the honor of representing this district, I am willing, at all times, to re. -apond to any question of public interest, when called upon. I have only tossy, that until within a few % days,'! hava been unable to make up my mind, from the fact, that there are good reasons, why the State of South Carolina . should not engage in tbe ar ramble for President making. She has wall defined her position, in bor Convention, ia 1869 She has never had the sympathy of her sister Southern States, whose interests have been, and still am, identified with hers, but baa thrown herself upon her own sovereignty j i i ? ?- - ? - 1 m? iiiurpeouvDC* Ml M*hi.

If 1 the Sooth con Id be nnlited to save the 1 Government from anarchy and destruction, \ which otherwise, is inevitable; and in order 1 to test the question, 1 am in favor of send- 1 log delegates to the Convention 1 think ' the State has nothing to lose in the attempt, fer she has never enjoyed any of the rich j spoils of Uurlu Sam, and 1 hope she never will seek them. Should the delegates of ' Heath Carolina mingle a few daya with ' Northern Frees oilers and Abolitionists, I 1 am not ears they will become worse contaminated with the lafeetioa ?f the more 1 passible abolitionisms, than tbe Know-Noth lag party of the 8oulh did, when they atten 4 ded tbe Philadelphia Convention, to work ' eat a platform sufficiently bread to bold both Young America,and every ether party 1 (except Roman Catholics).

This desirs I can hare, and y*t, hare of 10 wish to leave the more quiet labor of ui aty profession, for political strife. This a much I have deemed not amiss, as to the motives actuating mo in makiojpthis call: in Not that I care a cout what people may co think my motives are. do 1 am in favor of the State's being repre* bu tented in the approaching National Con- St rention, for divers reasons, some of which vc I will hastily notice Now, in uty judge* wl stent, is the most favorable time that the wi sriaia of politics hnvs ever presented, for sc the adoption of a platform of principles , wt s'hich ahali explicitly acknowledge and bli guarantee the rights of the South. Soinc if >f the Southern State* have made thia a ha tine qui non, to their delegates going into no he convention. If South Carolina will re oin them, she will add strength to the po- ru itiop they have taken. wi Again : the developments of the last four ' in ?r fivs years have brought to light a regu* J <>n arly organized hostility to southern inati- j so utioos, which for ita extent, fixedness of j vie purpose, snd s present apparent power nt Ci in early day to execute its purpascs, but of Taw had heretofore conceived of. The peo. ds pie at the North generally are crazy upon the sh lubject of slavery. Under thia frenzy the pu >ld Whig party has gone down, and the tic Democratic is terribly shaken. In proof of gc ill this, see the many factions now distraet- do inv the rnnnlr, >?! tl- I* ' * J -m j? ??u niv ui'iuucnuc party ] usually dominant in a very small minority j in congress. In this storm that has been ; ha raised against us, the Democrats aa a party on tiare stood by the constitution tolerably I ' well. Had it given way and tho Northern ba members joined tho factionists and th- xc Southern members?aa they would have of necessity bsen compelled to do?formed a Southern ; sectional party?I cant undertake to tell what the result might haw heon. llut under the leadership of a few well trained conacicnlius statesmen the par- ~ ;y stood firm. Many left it but their place srna in part supplied by some accessions Yom among the Whigs, who now enlist in ho Democratic ranks to do battle for tiie ^ institution and eqnnl rights. These lead?rs who have stood firm nsed support.-? The storm of fanaticism beats more fearfully against them, now, than ita. They stand, ta yet between ua and it, and break its force. But withoutauppo?t they like many others equally stauuch and true, must fall, snd give placs to abolitionists. How shall ws support them! Give a firm united support to the Democratic party; and make a ^ plain platform, explicitly aeaowiedging the (j rights ot the Mouth, so thai thi>? ran on l?>. . J m fr, lure their people, and appeal to their sober w udgemcnt and patriotism ; and in isjr opinion the Democratic party, will weather the itoraa, the country bo eared and the South j respected and protected in her rights.? 1 nj Why then shall South Carolina not be rep- ? resented ia the convention, and help to build this great platform?helf to promulgs tl; and establish these principles, in which her own rights are involved, as well as the ti< safety of our coinuon country/ The South unfortunately is not as firmly united as it should be ; and some of the States are lake- v> nrarui. In view of these facts, is it not a ^ July that South Carolina owes to her psst History to her present aod her future, to be ^ shere site may do some good !

Whenever a movement of >eh importance should be, and is to be -1 ade, South Carolina should be present, or se the notion, that she has delegated part ' her sovereign rights to the general goverent, over which she should keep wutch, is humbug. South Carolina has heretofore kept alost entirety aloof from these nominating ( mentions. Perhaps she was right in so , >tng. I have ever been in fuvor of them i it I am not prepared to say, but that the ate has acted right. In ss much as eon* ntiona have heretofore only met to see lio should hold offices, it may be that it is well for South Csrolinu, to wrap herIf up in her dignity and declare she auld have nothing to do with these scraminga for office. Perhaps the same reasons urged, would have kept her out of the lis of Congress. But there is a change w. We are in the begiuing of s political volution, which munt end, either in a displion of the Union, and in blood if wc lit for the various parts to fly asunder, or the establishment of the Union firmly uptho constitution, w ith ths rights of all ctiona acknowledged, and protected. In , tw of this, I hold that, in as much ss South i trolins h is, contrary to the advice of many hor sons, (of whoni I was one) in '61, tor mined to rsinain in the Union, she ould do all in her power to preserve it ire.

XischieToui Misrepresentations. ' It oug'.it not to l>e expected that we should give a formal contradiction to the ' various rumors which are orginated here and transmitted by telegraph, either with the view of ctfccting the Administration or of promoting the pecuniary interests . >f the papers t" whh?h iliey are sent.? Occasionally, however, these rumors as < aume a character or are repeated with a degree of ]>er?istency which readers a contradiction necessary. Of this kind are the late reports as to the withdrawal of Mr. Uuchanan from Eugland, and aa to 1 the intention of the President to send to 1 the Senate a special message in regard to landing difficulties with that Government. For example, a correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says, on the 18th in stant, that 'the President will, as he stat* ' ed yesterday, send a special message to ' the Senate in its Executive character next ' Mouday, or some dav soon, in relation to < our controversy witu Great Britain.'? i And, again, the same correspondent, on \ the nest ilsr i>i<l 'Tl.? t>? ? I M?ureJ several Senators that he will,after 1 aoine further consultation with the Cabi- t net, send to that body a message informing them concerning the condition of our difficultiea with England, and submitting the name for their advice and consideration.' The effect, if not the design, of all rumors of this kind is to excite apprehensions as to a ruplurs between our Govern- 1 ment and that of Great Britain. To avoid ' any such consequences,it it only necessary 1 for ua to say that the whole batch of re- ' ports of the character alluded to are entirely without foundation, and deserve no j sort of attontion from the readers of the journals to which they are sent. They ( not only do gross injustice to the President, but they are calculated to offset the interests of commercial tneu, who are kept in a state of suspense by the repetkadh of theee mischievous inventions.-*- Watk- ' i nylon Union. * n Astonishing Kan. , Famed tmrouomout the woaLn.?New York and Ixwdouare now the great manufacturing depots for Holloway'a Pills aad Ointiuent.
