The Meeting on Saleday. Tho proceedings of the meeting, at this place, on Monday last, will bo found in oui columns this week.

Districts, on the deplorable oondl tion of thc country in consequence of its in debtcdncss; Anti whereas, we heartily ii ni most cordially sympathise with p-iid niectins? in their honorable efforts to sayo our peopl from tho abyss of distress and wrotchedne into which t hey are destined to bc c ist by th general 'precipitation of suits ut law; An whereas, Wc not only recognize ns n duty, bi regard it ns singh privilege to stand fort shoulder to shoulder with our fcllow-citizet in their humane and patriotic exertions to r< deem nud save our people from thc terrill c ila mi tics' which are .inevitable unless .timcl relief is guaranteed by legislation. of this meeting, that tho Legislature, whe convened^ in. extra session, should, if com pat hie with its authority, grant thc relief wilie tho condition of thc pcnplo requires. 2d. Resolved, That if necessary, wc mo respectfully yet most earnestly, entreat tl members of the Legislature to call a con vc: ? tion of tho people ns promptly as possible, t 1 that in its plenary powers it may provide r appropriate remedy. A Convention ha Vii destroyed the basis on which our credit mai ly rested, by the emancipation of our slave and thereby producing general insolvency, is unquestionably within the scope td' its n thority and manifestly its duty, to relievo tn citizens from the awful consequences of i own legislation. . 3d. Resolved, That creditors had at Jca an equal ;?goncy with debtors in the ??au? ration of war, nnd' should now bear equal tho onus of subjugation. 4th. I fenol ti? <lt As-the sense of this mee ing, that all debts existing nt'tho timo of tl surrender of tho Confederate armies, s?iou be scaled, or .assumed by the .State in thc pr portion of thc losses and present property the debtors, according to tho proceedings tho 'late Convention, and by tho enactment* tho Legislature. * 6th, Resolved, That thc Constitution ni tho Laws were made for the people, and f thc purpose of securing their true interest and that if, in tho courso of events, they b 4-omo. destructivo of those cutis, they shou bc ^altered or modified us to secure the pu poses for which they were originally made. Tho samo powor which adopted the Constit Jtion has tho unquestionable right to nkcr or even to abolish il, if the iiUorcsts of t people require such notion. . 6th. Resolved, That we have noticed with t tonishmont.nnd with tho most profound rcgri tho npathy oud indifference of our distingu?s ed tuen,; and.Others who form and control pp lio opinion, oh tho agonizing subject of o indebtedness, and thc appalling results whi will certainly follow in tho wake of tho gc Oral suein?f of our people. 7th. Resolved, That wo have a right to lo to our men of placo and position, whose inf. enoo on'oitr action has produced thc wretch and most deplorable condition in which find outsclvo8 placed, for help to Sa vp. tip this dur timo of dire ? alnmity nnd great need. ( ' ' 8th. Resolv?fl, That, tn tho opinion of tl mooting, n disthiotion between tho "oUir, ?foo??.''..Pf contracts,-arid tho "remedy" giv by the ;Legisja?uro to enforcjo thnt obligiitit existstil tho plitjiroOf things; nnd that thou tho Legisla ttffc. may havo no powor to imp; tho f?rmor, it undoubtedly has full and am] power to chnrigo or modify thc latter as wisdom may direct, or tho necessities of t people require.. And thatundor this view, wiH bettho duty of tho Legislature ?o to ali tho laws of tho Stato which furnish tho^c cdy wybw broken contracts, as very much soften (he hnrdahips which, mny fall to thc IKJM J,.Li..?Ul.L!Jll_SSJV.'JJ gSgg_-I-1_'L"-'U' of honest debtors. Otb. Resolved, That one of tho first duties of legislation, while it provides amply for tho sacred obligation of. contracts, and tho reine- , diob to enforce them, oortaiuly is, to rcclicvo the unf?vtunato and meritorious debtor from a slavery of mind and body, willoh outs bim off from* a fair enjoyment of tho common ben efits of society, and roba his family of tho fruits of bis labor, and tho benefits of his.pa ternal superintendence. That n government which did not possess this form of legislation, would bo little worthy of thc exalted functions of guarding tho happiness and supporting tho rights of a free people. It might guard against political oppressions only to render private op pressions moro glaring. 10th. Resolved, That imprisonment for tlebt, except, in eases ?d' gross and palpable fraud, is a relict of barbarism, which admits of no defence, and should no lunger be allowed to disgrace tho statute- books of a free coun try. That when thc debtors have tlo proper, ty, or have yielded np tho whole to their cred itors, to allow tho latter to Imprison thom, is a refinement in cruelty, and au indulgence of privato passions, which could hardly find apol ogy in an .enlightened despotism, and aro ut terly at War with all thc rights and duties of free government-*. Such fl system of legisla tion is as unjust as it is unfeeling, and is in compatible with the first precepts of christi anity. 11th. Resolved, That tho object of laws re lating to Fnsoln*nt Debtori is,;on the one hand, to secure to creditors an appropriation of the property of their debtors, pro ti tn to, to the discharge of their debts, whenever tho latter4 are unable to discharge tho whole, amount ; and rip the other hand, to relieve un foi t?nate and honest debtors from perpetual bondage to their creditors, cither iii the shape of unlimit ed imprisonment to coerce payment of their debts, or of an nhsol-ote right to appropriate and monopolize nil their future earnings. That the hitter course obviously destroys all cticour ngeincnt to industry and : enterprise on the part of tho unfortunate debtor, by taking from ililli all tho just rewards of his labor, and leav ing him a miserable pittance, dependent upon the bounty or forbearance td* his creditors. It makes poverty and misfortune, in themselves sufficiently heavy burthens, thc subject or the occasion ?d' penalties and punishments. 12th. Resolved, That thc necessities of thc people, arising from the peculiar and nooma leus situation of thc country, require that a liberal hoinestond law be passed. That th h ! meeting is hi.foni.ied> and believes that such laws, even when they como in conflict with contracts of a prior date, do not conflict witll tho Const i Ult ion of thc United States. 18th. Resolved, That our Senator and Hep reseu tat ives in tho Legislature arc instr notbt to sustain any and all measures which may b( introduced for tho relief of tho people, and it failing to do so, they will not represent us. I l.t.. ...v....,,'. , .>?, A1!,., il,? oitr.iu. 1ml I soldiers who have fulleo on a thousand battle ? lields, ns well as those who survive, a debt o gratitude and affectionate remembrance whicl time can never diminish ; and that she shouh. never lower the high standard of her chivalry or blot forever her fair escutcheon, by driving with tho strong arin of her laws their widow; and their orphans, their wives nnd their chil dren, their fathers and their.brothers into pan ? poiism and till its unspeakable .miseries. j 15th, Resolved, That n copy of the. pro coedinizs of this meeting bc published-ill tin ?

Mr. Editor : The writer of thc arl ?clo ii your hist, over tho cognomen of '< Constitu tion." writes na though his head was in i cloud ; but ns thc good Pilgrim soys in his so liloquy, "Dark clouds bring water when tlx bright bring none dark and cloudy word; they do but bold tho truth n% cabinets cnolosi the gold. It might bo. if wo had the key t< the enigma, wo might seo what they meant b Nero' burning Home and assassinating hi mother, nnd nppjy it to thc noblo old State o South Carolina, and its abnlogy in tho.home less mothers ond uneducated orphan ehil dren that is '.'-nover to sny homo again ;' " and for lo these ninny, many days', senrcel; know what'brcud and moat moans." AV ht) docs thc writer mean by referring us to on officials, nnd that magnificent pieco of folly our unfinished. Stale House ; and our womei and ohildron having iio place to shelter mount it, though it wuss principally built, by thci husbands and brothers?" Surely if tho home less mothers and uneducated orphan ohildroi and disabled soldiers are not allowed to ros in tho shades of that magnificent folly, no slake their thirst in the refreshing stream tim now flows so freoly for the, civil list of pffioinls from which they look so healthy ; by wjiicl they can bid such defiance to poverty's fore runner-tho Sheriff. Yet all tho bravo sold iors who have played their part so nobly in th great drama aro to have their names rocordci ih that magnificent folly at a salary of twonty fivo hundred drinks of puro ofTioinl water i your; And ?uroly that's enough for those Win had patriotism onough to go nt tho bidding o Lho officials, nnd to die in tholr cause-whe homeless wives and uneducated ohildron mu ?ot esculents for food ; sud tho promised goo* thot was mado by tho moniornblo body in thei iovereignty, resolving that thc wives and chil dren of soldiers were pre-eminently tho chil dren of t,ho State, und pledged, themselves for their support. ' Officials, take caro of' your selves 1 . HERMIT. . , Multiply and Increase. Tho woj-k of rogonorating, ..this country in ovory part, and hero, must hugii' byan ao ocsQton of population. Prior to tho late war, tho population of South Carolina wn<?, ii? round numbers, soven hundredI thousand, near ly equally divided between white and blaok. This" gave us but twenty-three persons to tho square mile. Tho territory of tho State, un der thrifty cultivation, and with II general in troduction of all kind.-* of manufactures, can be miido to sustain four millions with ease. The grout policy, nay, for the work of regen oration, tho paramount noces-?'y, before ns is to secure, ns rapidly as we can, this iucreaso of population. To this all .tho aims of Stato ami towns and cities should be addressed, lt should bo tim object equally of merchants*, planters and mechanics. Legislators should] mcditute tho subject with tho tnost earnest aud profound study J and should appropriate, when ever this is possible, the funds of thc Stato and chief cities to the encouragement of im migration from foreign parts. It wwtild be fur better to iue.ren.se our population by con centrating ?ll our funds on this object, oven though WC denyjiniselves the use of mast of the popnhu institutions to which we hove hith erto dedicated this money. With the increase of population we shall be supplied with funds, enough for nil purposes of aft,.science, edu cation, etc. WitllOtit this population, nlf-onr institutions must bc of feudo structure ami i sickly growth. Very few of them, for many I years past, have been nf any real value to tho State. W.e might' dispense with Sundry of thom now, yet suffer no disparagement of in tellect or moral, mid no loss.of pecMniary ben efit. lt is very certain t^iat the negro population enun.pt be unido a muree of .profit to any Stute, as freedmen*.' A.* slaves-and they were only indirectly of vallie to the State, mid this through their' owners-it would bo a very hour thin before JthoV could accumulate prop erty, and those of thom who might possess this faculty of accumulation, will always con stitute a very small proportion of thc nice -. They can pay no taxes. They cari contribute in a very small degree to tile support or thc security of the State. They oan only n? freedninn be producers ifi a very small degree. The support of a State most depend nptni ita producers, its consumers, and its accumula tors. These last named arc, in fact, the best supporters of a State - *V>wf7? Carolinian.
