political". Extract From a Speech delivered by Hon. F. B. Rhett, at Charleston on the 12th hist., at a meeting of the citizens to endorse the ac? tion of the Legislature in calling a Con? vention of the people of this State. Fellow-citizens, I have gone through all this detail of the various sectional is? sues, .which have arisen between the North and the fcMfch, that you might un? derstand your true, position, and weigh well your future destiny. After twenty seven years of steady and unscrupulous effort to obtain, the rule over you?will the North surrender it when acqitired ? After the characteristics the Northern people have developed, in all their sec? tional contests with you, what hope can you have of any justice or safety under their domination ? Selfishness, ambition, avarico, faithlessness, or fanaticism, have marked their contests with you; whilst on your part you have exhibited a* gene? rosity, confidence, disinterestedness, and a devotion to your compact of union with them, not without weakness. The truth is, the Northern people are not fit to live with any other people in.the world: They have not the least conception of tho prin? ciples of free government. Their idea of sueh a government is, that a majority shall rule a minority. If seven men formed a government, four has the abso? lute power over throe. : Of those wise and delicate restrictions against absolute power, whether in one man, or in many, by which the rights and liberties of all are secured, they know nothing and care nothing. No regard, therefore, to the great principles of free government will restrain the exercise of their brute pow? er for your destruction. Nor have they for you, any of that respect, which is so near akin to fear. You have submitted so continually and habitually to their ag gressions and oppressions, that they de? spise you. They believe, that they have only to order, and you will obey. They have only to threaten, and yon will sub? mit. You arc a blustering, weak, timid people?demoralized and paralyzed by your institutions, just fit to serve, or to be tortured or destroyed. And their igno? rance of the operations of the Union in their behalf, is as great as their ignorance of your characteristics. Their rapid ad? vancement in wealth, prosperity and power, they attribute to their superior in? telligence, civilization and worth. The countless millions they have wrung out of the South, by the .operations of the tariff?tho vast expenditures of tho Gov? ernment in their cities?the millions more . they earn out of us, by carrying our cot? ton to all parts of the world?the mighty basis of their navigation, and of their commercial exclranges?their merchants and manufacturers may understand, but tho people are utterly ignorant of these great causes of their prosperity. T.hcy say, as the rich man in the Scriptures: "My arm has gotten me this wealth." Swollen with insolence, and steeped in ignorance, selfishness and fanaticism, they will never understand their dependence on the South, until the Union is dissolved and they are left naked to their own re? sources. Then, and not Until then, they will be able to appreciate the long for? bearance and endurance of the South. Then, and not until then, they will real? ize what a blessing the Almighty con? ferred upon them, when he placed them ; in union with the South; and they will curse, in the bitterness of penitence and suffering, tho dark day on which they : compelled us to dissolve it with them. Upon a dissolution of the Union, their i whole s}7stem of commerce and mannfac- i turos will bo paralyzed or overthrown? j their banks. will suspend specie pay- ' menis?their stocks' and real estate will 1 fall in price?and confusion and.-distress { will pervade the. North. Bread proces- < sions will walk the streets of their cities, < and gaunt hunger will look terror into " their palaces. In this state of things, < those*who have brought upon the people i of the North those calamities will be call? ed to a dire acctftmt. The anti-slavery ] party will be overthrown. A Union par- 1 iJy will arise on their destruction; and we . ?& JlM?jttned to reconstruct a Union I ^Mj^erms. They , Carolina ? One of their organs lias de? clared that she should bo bought out by Philadelphia. Another, that she ought to be whipped in, by. the police of New York. Another, that, like a spoiled child, she should be spanked into submis? sion. Is all this contempt and bullying to be nothing but foul air ? By all means let us have a Force Bill by Congress, to coerce South Carolina to remain in the Union. Virginia, and the other Southern States must meet it. They-will oppose it. Don't be frightened, and run away. Be brave, and pass it over them. Like all your other insolent stupidity, defy their determinations, and fbrco their members to leave Congress and go home to their constituents. Then will a Southern Con? federacy be speedily formed of all the Southern States, like the rush of many waters into one*great and majestic river. Fellow-citizens, the dissolution of the Union will by no means be the comple? tion of our deliverance. There will be great difficulty in limiting tho members of our Southern Confederacy. Many of the free States will desire to join us. But there are three things which, as a humble citizen of the South, I would suggest ought sternly to be insisted on, in shaping its future destines : First. The Southern Confederaej* ought to be a sbvcholding Confederacy. It is no experiment that free governments should exist in slaveholding countries. The Republics of Rome and Greece? still the light and glory of ancient times, were built on domestic slavery. But it is an experiment to maintain free govern? ment with universal suffrage, and the whole population to control the govern? ment. Population increases faster than capital, and no prosperity can long stave off the dire conflict which must arise be? tween want and affluence?population and capital. When the great majority of the population have no property, which is the case with every nation in Europe, what shall protect property under the control of this majority, from partition*or confiscation ? What is liberty worth, with starvation ; and what is property worth, with confiscation '! Our Confede? racy must be a slavcholdiug Confedorac}*. We have had enough of a Confederacy with dissimilar institutions. The next point we should insist on is that the power of taxation should be lim? ited.- We know how t his power nas been abused by the present Confederacy. The North has wielded it for their enrichment and aggrandisement, at the expense of the South. The taxes should be just; and to be just, no man should be made to pay tribute to another, or be taxed for the benefit of another. No monopolies should exist; but all should be left to employ their industry in their own way, saving where the exigencies of the Government require revenue or restriction. And the third condition which South Carolina should require is. that the forts and fortresses in our ha}* should neve.- ? again bo surrendered to any power on earth. We have seen the canon placed in them for our defence turned against us foi our subjugation. When our flag again floats over them, let it remain there until our existence is blotted out as a free people. With guarantees such as these, what shall prevent the people of the South from being a great and free people ? With the bitter experience wc have had, wc can frame a constitution the liest for secu? ring justice and liberty the best the world has ever seen. With such a constitution and our institutions, wo can establish a Confederacy which shall endure for ages; and our Confederac}* will be as powerful us it will bo great. All nations want our agricultural productions, and all nations will tender tho friendships their necessi? ties require. We will expand as our growth and civilization shall demand ? over Mexico?over the isles of the sea? over the far off Southern tropics?until sve shall establish a great Confederation of Republics?tho greatest, freest and use? ful the world has ever seen. My friends, the Union is dissolved. It has long since been dissolved in sympa? thy and spirit. It is now about to be dis? solved, in form and fact. A few more weeks?a few more days?and by the fiat of South Carolina, it will be amongst the wrecks of past things, wi ich, designed j-jjjioblc ends, man's folly and wicked feku-e destroyed. Would that the fin Bynan's hand could come forth. H H^^^n the plaster of tlie-wall of Band palaces of tho North ^BfiniP1'?"Menc, incur, te/cel, B^^yeighcd in the bal fl| Mfe'".^"?'"God hath j^l finished it"? H^"ld that the ?tpuld burst ?kjthomc Wasrthc main of territory, stretching from sea to sea, greater than all civilized Europe con? tains?the glorious fruits of Southern statesmanship. We leave it, as our fore? fathers left their union with Great Britain, after a patience of endurance, which they would have scorned; and armed like thc7n, with the mighty consciousness of right, more powerful than armies with banners. The long weary night of our humiliation, oppression and danger is passing away, and the glorious dawn of a Southern Confederacy breaks on our vicAv. With the blessing of God, we will soon be a great people?happy, prosper? ous and free. -* Overt Acts. The following recapitulation of the out raffcs'and ajrirressions of the North against the South/ and the inequality of the States, and the federal purity of the Union, is given by Henry A. "Wise : It obtained its own compromise in the Constitution to continue the importation of slaves, and now sets up a law higher than the Constitution to abolish propcrty in slaves which it sold to its neighbors. In 1819 and '20, it deprived us of equal settlement in more than half the territo? ry acquired from France. It seized upon Texas North 36? 30' and carved out of Texas 44,000 square miles of slave territory South 30? -30'. It seized upon all the territory acquired by common conquest from Mexico, and deprived slave labor of the privilege of operating in the wealthiest mines of earth?the gold mines of California. It had bribed a slave State with ten millions of common funds to sanction the prohibition of slavery in New Mexico. * It claims to abolish slavery in the dis? tricts, furls, arsenals, dockyards and other places ceded to the United States. To abolish the inner slave trade, and thus cut off the Northern slave States from their profits of production, and the South? ern Irom their sources of supply of labor. It claims to forbid all equality and com potion of settlement in the common terri? tories by the citizens of slave States. It repels all further admission of new slave States. It has nullified the Fugitive Slave Acts in fourteen States of the Union. It has denied extradition of murderers and ma? rauders and other felons in several others. It has caused and shielded the murder of masters or owners in pursuit of fugi? tive slaves. It has refused to prevent or punish by State authority the spoliation of slave property; but, on the contrary, it has made it a criminal offence in the citizens of several States, to obey the laws of the Union fur the protection of slave proper? ty. It has advocated negro equality, and made it the ground of positive legislation hostile to Southern States. It opposes protection to slave proper? ly on the high seas, and has justified pi? racy itself in the case of the Creole. It has kept in our midst emissaries of incendiaries to corrupt our slaves and in? duce them to run off or excite them to rebellion and insurrection. It has run off milions of slave property by a system of what is called "undcrgr&rid railroads," and has made its tenure so precarious in the border slave States as nearly to have abolitionizcd two of them : Maryland and Missouri; and it is making similar inroads constantly upon Virginia and Kentucky. Ii is incessantly scattering firebands of incendiary appeals in our midst. It has extended fanaticism into our own border**. It has invaded a territory by arms furn? ished by Emigrant Aid Societies, under State patronago, and by funds furnished by foreign enemies in Canada and in Groat Britian. It has invaded Virginia and shed the blood of our citizens on her own soil. It has justified and exalted to the high? est honors of admiration and respect the horrid murders, and arsons, and rapine of the raid of John Brown; and has canon-# ized the felons themselves as saints of mar tydom. It has burned the towns and poisoned the cattle, and formed the raid-night con? spiracy for the depopulation of North Texas. It has proclaimed to the slaves the hor? rid motto : "alarm to the sleep, fire to the dwellings, poison to the food and water" of slaveholders: It has published its plan fur the Aboli? tion of slavery every where. To rescue slaves at all hazards?form associations? to establish proses?to use the vote and ballot?to raise money and military equip? ments?to form and discipline armed com panics?to appeal to non-slaveholders and detach them from slaveholders in slave States?to communicate with the slaves? to encourage anti-slavery emigrants to the South and West?to seize other property ^slaveholders to compensate for the cost HHLk"'ng off their slaves?to force eman & by all means, especially by liniit ?wsssingand frowning upon slavc mode and form, and finally by ^c, by Congress, by the postal kkcyery way to agitate with ?Lthc Southern States shall Pk their fate, and worn Relied to surrender and ?ves. HRd the decisions of the ?A * It assails us from the pulpit, the press, in the school room. It divides all sects and religions as well as parties. It de? nounces slaveholders as degraded by the lowest immoralities, insults them in every form, and holds them up to the scorn of mankind It has already a majority of the States under its domination, has infected the Federal its well as State judiciary, has a large majority of the House ofRcprcsenta tives of the Congress of the United States, will soon have, by the new census, a ma? jority of the Senate, and before it obtains the Senate certainly will obtain the chief Executive power of the United States. It has announced its purpose of total aboli:ior. in the States and every where, as well as Territories and Districts, and oth? er places ceded.

This noble and gallant State has, often, been the subject of jest and sneer by men who have but little regard for principle, and startle at the smell of gunpowder, or the crack of a rifle. She has outlived the hisses of her political critics, and the cur? ses of her bitterest enemies. This day she stan Is in theUnion an object of respect and a rallying point for the true friends of the South. She is still abused by some, but hundreds, yea, thousands, who once talked lightly of her chivalry, are now forced to regard her, in her true light as a star of brilliant and enduring lustre. Such is her position that patriots in every Southern State watch her movements with interested sympathy, and feel attrac? ted to her as a sister possessing virtues of the first magnitude for the trying crisis which is upon us. "I thought, in the past, that she was hot-headed and foolish," says one, ?? but now I recognize her sa? gacity and foresight." " I was prejudic? ed against South Carolina." s:iys another, - believing that she complained without cause and magnified mole-hills into moun? tains, hut. it is clear she s:iw the danger ahead and wished to prepare against it. I am with her now." It is common to hear such expressions as these, fall from the lips of those who formerly looked upon South Carolina as a blustering bragadocio who carried a dagger upon the tongue and cowardice in the her.rt. Now, how differently is she estimated, tier narrow limits arc cover? ed with heroes, and friends may be count? ed by thousands who would fly to her rescue and make common cause with her in the defence of common interests and honor so imminently imperilled.?Augus? ta Tnic Democrat. -?-> Vik< inia?Proclamation of Governor Letciikb.?A Proclamation of Gov.

Jeff. Davis' Position.?The Hon. Jefferson Davis, in his speech at Vicks burg a few evenings since, uttered the fol? lowing : If Mississippi, in her sovereign capaci? ty, decides to submit to the rule of an ar? rogant and sectional North, then I will sit mo down as oue upon whose brow the brand of infamy and degradation has been written, and bear my portion of the bit? ter trial. But if. on the other hand. Mis? sissippi decides to resist the hands that would tarnish the bright star which rep? resents her on the National Flag, then I will come at your bidding, whether by day or by night, and pluck that star from the galaxy, and place it upon a banner of its own. I will plant it upon the crest of battle, and gathering around nie the nu? cleus of Mississippi's best and bravest, will welcome the invader to the harvest of death; and future generations will point to a small hillock upon our border, which will tell the reception with which the invader met upon our soil. -?

IPUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of THE DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, to remain subscribers, and inform those who :nay desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when I shall resume publishing the above-named papers. They have been published so long, that most pub? lic men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless to give n minute account of the kind ofmxttcrthey will contain. THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debrdes in both branches of Congress as taken dow.a by reporters, cqucal, at least to any corps of short hand-writers in this, or in any other country. A n.ajority of them will each, be able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour, while the av? erage number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven' thousand five hundred words an Lour. When' the debates of a day do not make more than forty-five columns, they will appear in The Daily Globo of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day, together with sucli editorial articles as may be suggested by pass? ing events. 'I HE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX will contain a report of all the Debates in Con? gress, revised by the speakers, the Messages of the President of tho United States, the Annual Reports of the Heads of the Executive Departments, the Laws passed during the sessions, and copious in? dexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, at least 2,000 pages. This is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from m.riuscript copy, taking for data the average num? ber of words it contains. The coming session will, without doubt, be an unusually interesting one, because the debates will, in a great measure, be upon the policy of the Pres? ident elect, and The Globe will be, as it has been for many years past, the only source from which full debates of Congress can be obtained. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX pass free through the mails of the United States, as will be seen by reading the following Joint Resolution passed by Congress the6th of Au? gust, 1S?2: Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of the Laws of Congress and the Debates thereon. With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Congress and the debates contributing to the true interpretation thereof, anil to make free the communication between the representative .and con? st: :ucnt bodies: Be it Resolved by the Senate and House oj Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That from and after the present session of Congress, THE CONGRES? SIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX, which con? tain llie laws and the debates thereon, shall pass free through the mails so long as the same shall be published by order of Congross: Prodded, That nothing herein shall be construed to authorize the circulation of the DAILY GLOBE free of postage.

C, , JAMS D. NANCE & CO., PROPRIETORS, JAMES D. NANCE, EDITOR. Newberry District being one of the richest'Cotton Districts in South Carolina, her people are large consumers of every kind of merchandize. The CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the best mediums in tho State for advertise?, so far as Newberry District is concerned, while :.t enjoys a fair circulation in the surrounding Districts! The terms for inserting advertisements arc certainly a? reasonable as those of any other journal in the country, especially when it is desired to advertise by contract. The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con? tributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest political faith. With their assistance, the editor will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable and ever welcome family newspaper and fire-side companion. The political character of the paper is of the strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the Constitution under which the Confederacy of the American States was formed, has been repeatedly and grossly violated, and that "the Plantation. States" have been the only sufferers?that the L'nion of these Stfes is no longer a policy founded on the principles of right and justice, but that tho bond of Uuiou is "the cohesive power of public plunder "?the proprietors prefer that their journal shall rather seem to be a Southern Extremist than appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at any price.
