Tiie following is the protest to the National Democratic Convention, signed by nil except three, of the South Carolina dclofiition; o " " ""We, tlio undersigned delegates appointed by tho Democratic State Convention of South Carolina, beg leave respcctfull}' to state that according to the principles enunciated in their platform nt Columbia, the pojror, oither of the Fedoral Government or its/agent, tho Territorial Government, to abolish or legislate against proporty in slaves, by cither director indirect legislation, is explicitly denied ; and as tho platform adopted by this Convention palpably and intentionally pretermits any expresnion affirming tho incapacity of tho Territorial Government so to legislate, thoy would not bo acting in good faitli to thoir principles, or in accordance with tho wishes of their constituents. to longer remain in thin Convention. Tlicy thoroforo respectfully announce their withdrawal. Sometimes men by a singlo notion secure the truest nnd the most universal admiration of their kind. The reason is because the act itself and the cirouinstauccs undor which it was Jicrfofmod fully display that tho ostensible virtue is a living and ruling principle of tho heart. oucn wo deem the following; A noble ol<l veteran of tlio war of 1812, lias writen a lottcr without signing hits name, enclosing $200 to the Socrotary of the Treasary.
