Let all attend. Public Document*. / We are indebted to Messrs. Pum.iam and Ma xwei.i. for important public documents and papers. The Times. / The excitement throughout tho South is running high. In our own State, nothing is heard but ^ resistance to oppression and disgrace. The feeing below is deep ami almost universal. We arc firmly persuaded, from the information now boforo us, that South Carolina will carry her\ aelf out of tlie Union in a short time. Georgia, j Alabam i, Mississippi, Florida and perhaps otliJ er Statos, it is confidently believed, will co-operato with l>er in withdrawing from the Union. This is tho true basis of action, and we trust nothing may arise to dissipato the well founded hopes of rosiatanco inun. Lot us nil buckle on our armor for Southern resistance. The destiny of all the Southern States is the same; and, f firmly conrinccd of this, we shall alike strivo for their co-operative action and independence, [ The Legislature. !' Tho intelligence from Columbia is fraught Willi interest, ami we condense such portions of it :is ufleets t!;<? public weal. The Somite passed, with ono dissenting vote, (ihnb t-i 2>h. . IcA;.i;.v, of Chester) a bill culling u Convention of the people. In the House, after much discussion the bill was unanimously passed, and may be found in our advertising columns. Whilst this bill wns pending in the House, together with a resolution to send a Commissioner to Georgia, Mr MoGowan of AbboTillo, obtained the floor, and Haiti that ho had hoped these resolutions would j?<vss nern. con., but tvi thoy had been assailed, he would say one word in their defence. He hopod there would be no acerbity in the debate.? Ho far as ho was ooncerned, ho thought the ques Hon above personalities, aim in (iiaispim no would address himself to it. Ho thought t he resolutions were not at all incontinent with the call of a Convention, but on the contrary entirely consistent with it. ITe should vi,to for tho call of a Convention, and ho should a1?o vote for those reuolutions. He earnestly hoped thoy would pass the House. His young and promising friend from Edgefield (Mr. Gary) had directed his assault principally against the appointment of a Commissioner to the State of Georgia, and he would 6ea8a? the few remarks he intended to \' aiski to that point. He contended (lint the recorded policy of South Carolina for tho last Ion years was secession by cooperation with out Southern Misters, nnd therefore he thought it strange if we should now, in the very crisis of our difficulties, when our need was the sorest, ignore our past policy, nnd cense to ssk for co-operation. He read (ho Ordinance of 1862.? lie also read the resolutions of IBfV.). It is then perfectly apparent, that such has been the recorded policy of South Carolina for the last ten years. We hare long been satisfied ns to the causes of dissolution. We avail nnr?i>l?i>a r.f ?l.n occasion of Lincoln's election, but it is not with us ?lie only cause of complaint. Wo have remaine<l in tlie Union, for tlie purpose of obtaining tlio co-operation of our other Southern sisters?to arrange the time when nnd the innnner how, and for ' nothing else. i Hut is this policy of obtaining co-operation. if i we can. not fortified by both history and philoso! phy?by the nature of the thing itself, as well as j the history of other nitidis, and especially rcpub1 lies? The people of these Southern States have more reasons?more inducements?more nccettities j ?to unite than any people that has lived in tho j tide of time.

The powers of the I earth are not only indifferent to it, but absolutely ! inimical toil. Why does this outside pressure not \ f use us into one, ami compel tin to unite. The hisj lory of the world is pregnant with admonition to ! us to unite. The history of (Srccce?and especial; Iv that awful chapter upon the Pcloponesian war, j admonishes us. The history of poor unfortunate j dismembered Poland cries to lis. The story of the I lliitch Republic has its lesson, and the States of Modern Italy and South America all combine in urging us for the sake of honor, peace, safety and security, to unite. All these join in declaring that. United we stand? divided wo fall." My (Sod! whv can wo not uiiitp ?

If that Convention, with the lights around it. should think that the fact of carrying South Carolina out of the Union would have the effect of producing cc-opcration and a Southern confedernc,, .hen such action would have his hearty approbation. And if that Convention should decide to secede alone, even without the hope of co-operation?if the people in Convention assembled should decide to cut loose her moorings froin this government, surrounded as they are by Southern sisters in like circumstances. he said lie would still be one of her crew, and would endeavor to use all the power C5od has given nun, in common with every true Hon of Iters, to " Stretch every thread of canvass, And sproad every .sail." Both houses adopted n resolution requiring the managers of Election to conduct the Election for delegates to the Convention without further notice.

Not long since, in South Carolina, a clergyman was preaching on the disobedience of Jonah, when commanded to go and preach to the Ninevites.
