Meeting at Anderson.
*
i'lie Anderson lulcllignxrcr, in giving an account
of the meeting nt Anderson last week, says:
" lion. It. F. Simpson. ex-member of Congress,
i was tlie lirbt speaker. lie was for a dissolution <>("
1 this I'nion?liad been of the opinion fur years that
the Nor ' and South would have to separate?
nothing 1. juwlti.etu together. and on (lie contrary,
ther" w.is nn actual hatred existing From present
indicatioi he thougl t therj was no quest'nn
of separate secession beb ve the people f South
I Carolina. The most effective eo-operation will be
hail, an'! if even Georgia went out of the I'nion, lie
\v..s - itisticd to ;;o with her.
Hon..'aine* I<. Orrnext addressed the meeting,
lie had never before spoke on an occasion where
graver issues were presented ; we were evidently
upon the verge of revolution?it may be, civil
^ revolution, lie approved heartily of forn.'r g com
panics, anil w.mM have South t'arniiita prepared
I by munitions of war to inert any emergency ?
i llope<l that at n moment's warning Anderson would
i nun h to the defence of her rights and liberties.
His policy unil .sentiment ns .a public mail hail
! been eonservativo?desired to avert the issue upon
' us, an 1 assumed nunc of the responsibility of its
coming. In '8o0 resistedCompromise measures?
thought then that eo-operatioii was tlien at hnnd,
! but that the feeling ami sympathy in States adj
joining were averse to resistance. At this time,
tho advices from Georgia, Florida and Missisi
sij | i, and the fuels of tho cause, tend to show
j that eo-oper.".tion will be had. It* the leaders in
I Georgia are not deluded, she will join our State
in secession, and com* weal 01 conic wo*, she will
; be with us. In this connection. lie paid a glowinjt
; tribute to the pitrioi?m ot our sister State. I!e
| believed, further, that Alabama w.r? really to join
in the movement, and to Mississippi the sentiment
i for disunion had been ripening and growing strong|
er during the summer, lie entertained sironir
, Hopes of Texas?llio recent outrages aroused all
parties, ami the ' Kmc star" will lie ready. lie
liev^s that other States will follow. W l.on liis
conscience is sat istiel (lint even tleorgia will go
for secession. lie will advis<* South Cnrolina to take
the same step. As (ieorgia goes, so will Florida,
ami the same influence will he strong upon Alabama.
lie believes that the indications for co-operation
arc unmistakable ; bnt if the other Southern
States tamely submit to Lincoln rule, bo vc|
serves to himself the right to pronounce against
South f'nVilli.m I l.I
.......... < v<iui.iii.iii>ii, lie
said that it' Lincoln is inaugurated, four years
n i'uld nut moderate the Ulaek Republican party,
' and if the*Sotilh ever intends to resist, now is- the
I lime.
'I " Hon. J. \V. Harrison, our State Senator, was
j called ujion tor tin expression of his views. He
; rcspon led at length, and began by remarking that
; he had been confident for years that the i?suc now
before us was coming. j'et he was not prepared to
realize it. as he bad done when the intelligence
reached him that Lincoln was elected, lie thought
j cu-operation was certain, and believed that we
should bury old issues and pronounce f??r resistance
by secession. The States of Georgia. I'lor|
id*, Alabama and Mississippi would a<?t with this,
i and he wanted South Carolina to move on without
dissension ill her borders, to give thorn strength
and encouragement-?was not anxious that South
Carolina should lead, but was willing for her to go
behind, before or simultaneous with any other
State.
| " Hon. J. 1'. It cod followed in a te'lintr ?mfccli ?f
j half'an hour. He was for resistance?hud mmlo
progress ill secession during the past two wee!:.*,
nml believed dial Smith Carolina hail taken a step
from which il would lie disgrace for her lo retreat.
She nm?t go out of the I'nion, and he would rally
j hcnealh the folds of the l'almetto flog, and as each
State is added, would place atioiher star to mark
j the action. He believed that a Southern Confederacy
would soon be formed, and that no nation on
earth would excel it in power, prosperity and re1
sources. Wo cannot give the eloquent speaker
justice, anil must pimply congratulate him upon
the high pitriotic grounds assumed l?y him on
Tuesday evening. He is for resistance, and
strongly urged it hy prompt .secession from this
Union.
Dai.TIjiore, Nov. l'i -The tono of the Northern

i so much a necessity that foreign nations will
f oome h-i iin for it, ami bring their gold to obtain
| it. The general panic ami decline in .stocks and
i credit cannot roh the South of the means for ar!

The New York Tribtidtf otf the Right of
Secession.
The right of a State to dissolvo .her connection
with this Government has long boon
n question of serious consideration. The
old Federalists denied it, but sincc the doctrine
of iStule sovereignty bus been more
thoroughly discussed, the right of its exercise
is becoming generally conceded. Northern
politicians never boldly took up the cudgel
for the rights of the States ns sovereigns,
until tire passage of tlio Fugitive iSlavo law.
Then they began to declaim against the tyranny
of the Federal Government, nnd ventilate
strict construction. For this reason,
wo are disposed to regard the jKissage of the
Fugitive Slave law as a very fortunate occurrence.
It gave (Ircely and his party a
tendency in the right direction, and forced
them in their efforts, to sustain themselves
in nullifying that law, to assrtmc the strongest
State flights attitude. To this do we
attribute it, that the Tribune can write such
a sensible article as the following, vindicating
the right of peaceable secession. It is an extract
from its editorial columns of the 9th instant
:
"The telegragh informs us that most of
the cotton States ars meditating a withdrawal
from the Union because of Lincoln's election.
Very well ; tljey have a right to meditate,
and meditation is a profitable employ
mem oi leisure. \v o have a chronic, invincible
disbelief in disunion as a remedy for
either Northern or Southern grievances; \>o
cannot perceive any necessary relation between
the alleged die -so and tiiis ultra
heroic remedy; Mill, we .-ay, if anybody sees
lit to meditate disunion, let them do so unmolested.
That was a base and hypocritie
row that the House once raised, at Southern
dictation, about the ears of John Quincy
Adams, because, he presented a petition for
the dissolution of the Union. The position* r
had a right to make the refjuest ; it was the
member's duty to present it. And* now, if
the cotton States consider the value of the
Union debatable, we main tain their perfect
right to discuss it. Nay, we hold, with .Jefferson,
to the inalienable right of eommuni /
ties to alter or abolish forms of (iovernment
that have become oppressive or injurious;
and if the cotton States idiall become si'.isfied
that they can do better out of the l'nion
than in it, wo insist on lettitip them go in
peace. The right to secede may bq a revolutionary
one, but it exists nevertheless; and wo
do not see how one party can have a right to
do what another party has a right to prevent.
We must ever resist thp asserted right of any
State to remain in the l'nion, and nullify or
defy the laws thereof; to withdraw from the
Union is quite another matter. And whenever
a considerable section of our Union shall
deliberately ro.-olve to go out, we shall resist
all coercive measures designed to keep it in.
We hope never to live in a lteptiblio whereof
one section is penned to the residueJiy bayonets.

liberty, if iiot tlu* abstract right of secession,
we must insist tluit the step be tnken, if ever
it shall be, with the deliberation and gravity
befitting so momentous an issue. Let ample
time be given for reflection ; let the subject be
fully onvas.sed before the people, and let a
popular vote be taken in every case before.se- ?
cession is decreed. Let thepeople.be t?>!d just
why they are urged to break up the confederation
; let them have both sides of the question
fully presented ; let them reflect, deliberate,
then vote; and let the net. of secession
be the echo of an Amistakablc popular fiat.
A judgment thus rendered, a demand for separation
so backed, would either bo ncquieseed
in without the effusion of' blood, or
those who rushed upon carnage to defy nnd
defeat it, would place theinselvcK .dearly in
the wrong "
