ANOTHER laKTTER TO THE NORTH, j To the Ij lifors of the Charles/on Mercury: (I k.\tli::.ikx: I have just had a conversation j with one of my North ret) brethren, whoproless- j p< t) lie eiiugtueueu upon me poim which i quired about last week, as to what is the object ul. the AiiolitiouiMs. tin disclaims H?r them all idea of attempting or intending to dissolve, or even entertaining an idea that the Union can be dissolved. Hut that they intended to agitate the question till the South will lie obliged to abolish slavery, as the price upon which they can remain connecled with the North, and that they lully believe that you cannot live by yourselves; and fur. therniore, that you dare not offer resistance, for r...?ii,..i il,? cl-nvi wnnlil "inrn noon and rend you." Upon both these points I desire to ofier to these uninformed agitators, my evidence for what it may be worth, and correcting this prevailing error. Heretofore it has been the policy of nil the South to grow cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco and corn, which, together with the products from her inexhaustible forests of pitch pine, she has exchanged for the manufactures of New Eng land, to the mutual advantage of both partics. But is that any reason why she cannot manufacture every thing required at home? And f i I !. f. | your insane ana sniciaai course is msi anrntuiiing the people of I his country lo that very objcct. Leaving out ot consideration the cotton spindles and looms find machine shops of various kinds in this city, that are driven by steam, i can show you in a very few hours rido over a very good railroad, as perfect a manufacturing village and well managed cotton factory, driven by water, and worked by natives of South Carolina, as can be found in the United States. And there are many others, some operated by whiles and some by blacks; and there is a^good water power, and as healthy locations and as cheap living, in South Carolina as M^cnrlmtoiic VVhv then cannot she man ... ? J ulacture for herself? In heavy cottun goods, is already doing it, cheaper than can possibly be done in any Xoriherii Slate. And her nearest Southern sister is rapidly becorng a manufacturing State, not only of cottons, but of u great variety of "Yankee Notions." I was in a pail and tub factory at Columbus, Ga., last spring, thai can make the articles at less than the freight usually charged upon such things trorn Now York. There is not one single thing now imported fr/-.rr. <!>.? Vnrili lnif u-li.il nan be mannfaclured here just as well as there, except ice, and even that, the rapid!)' lengthening railroad will soon bring down iron) the mountains of North Carolina or Tennessee, and cut off the supply from the North, as well as more than one half ot your exports, unless the sober second thought of the sober part of the community shall induce every teal and true friend to this Union to rise up as one man, and say to the little band of demagogues and disorganizing fanatics that arc sowing the seeds of disunion as the spirit of destruction sowelh the whirlwind, that he tnav rent) the tempest as a harvest?"thus far lias political abolition gone on unheeded, but it shall go no farther." The year 183U is a year of a crisis in the welfare of the Union. He as. sureii of that: 1 speak to you earnestly and truly, and in the conviction that 1 am aswell informed as any man can bo who has travelled extensively through ail the Southern Stales, for many months, and been in social and intimate connection with many intelligent gentlemen, that there is a fixed determination to cease to cull you brothers, unless you cease to call the people of the South those approbious names con. fctuntly lumped upon them: and all for what? Win- Localise thev oersist in exercising their COtlMltllllOllUI "Iglll III IIICII UHM UMiiiiiijui iiiuv : ritance in negro slaves; and unless you cease to j disturb those relations that have and must exist j between the master and his servants, the days j of this Union are numbered. There must Ik* j subordination, but not cruelty. And 1 venture | to assert that nine tenths of the punishment in. i tlicted on the negroes in this ci'v, arise out ol , the acts of insubordination taught them Ijy the wicked interference of their worst enemies, the intermeddling abolitionists; who, in teaching them wild and vague notions or expectations of emancipation, are guilty of greater cruelty than their masters ever were. It is teaching them to lie discontented with their condition in life, without any hope of improving it. Upon the --I?... ?r>.? iHiitrrmt iipvnr Inllf nf nmmipi.

They have sense enough to enquire where and how they are to live, and who will feed and clothe them and take care of them when they arc sick, if tliey have no master and no home.? They know they are incapable of managing for themselves, and must have a master to do it lliiirii I shall have something further to say on this subject. SOLON ROBINSON. The abolitionists of .Massachusetts are again exhibiting their lolly and mad?es?> The "Liberator" of Boston has published a series of petitions, addressed to tho legislature now in session, one of which request* jho legislature to call an Immediate convention of the people of the commonwealth, to determine what measures shall be taken to effect a peaceful secession from the American Union. These fanatics might do sonre service to tho State nnd to the country, if tho whole brood were tliernselves peaceably to secede from tho U. States, and migrate to Africa, or to the moon, if they Could li'id any means of reaching a planet so well adapted to their character and plans. Washington (rnion. VIRGINIA ON FREE SOIL RESOLCJ. I TIONS. In 1 ho Virginia Legislature on Saturday, the i following communication was received from i (iovprnor Floyd: Executive Dbi'aktmunt, Jan. 12. 1850. | To the General Assembly of Virginia: Gentlemen : 1 have received from the Gov. I ernor ol Vermont certain resolutions passed by ' tin; Legislature of that State upon the subject of slavery; with a request that [ should transniit them to you. I comply with the request, | because I think it proper you should know the temper and spirit manifested towards Virginia and the South by Vermont. If I could believe the sentiment contained in these resolution* i .- .i- r. iu?? ivcro couiiaeu UJ IMS .-Iilir mini xiiiv.il , j emanate, they would excite in nn\ a* I am sure | they would in every citizen in Virginia, a feel | ing of pity merely. But we are const rained to j believe, from evidenced too numerous and clear to admit oi a doulit, lliat these resolutions etn body the opinions and the feelings too ol a large majority of the free States. In this respect they present to us a question of momentous importance and drive us to con- j sidcr how we arc to vindicate onr character and maintain onr constitutional rights. Tho pro* visions ofthe Constitution upholding, sustaining ant! protecting slavery, are, by these resolutions, abrogated and disregarded. The opinion ofthe North sustains this action. The time has already passed for the discussion of I he question between us; no human reason or eloquence can stop the headlong career of injury and wrong which the North is pursuing towards us. They tramplo upon the Constitution and our rights, whilst they meet with scorn and contempt all remonstrances against their course of aggression. We can take care ofourselves; let us not sit idly down until the fool of the destroyer comes. I would recommend the passage of the resolutions adopted list session; and the passage of laws providing for the attendance of represenla tives in the Southern Contention to assemble at Nashville, in June next, and that tnoney be appropriated to defray all the necessary e.xpenses incurred by such attendance. JOHN B. FLOYD. After the reception of this letter, the Senate adopted resolutions to return the Vermont resn. lntions to the Governor of that State.

Thursday, fhrt 24th insti Whereas the action ol the General Asscm i bly in 1847 and 1848, upon the "Wilmol Pro. viso and kindred subjects," confirmed by the kind approval of the people of Virginia, and sustained by the concurrent action of other Southern States,"has received no other response from the people of the Northern Stales than violent denunciation and a systematic perseverance in the wrongBof which we complained : Resolved, therefore, by the present, General Assembly, That wo feel under renewed ohligations to adopt the said resolutions adoptpd by the Legislature of Virginia in 1849 and reaffirmed in 1848, and wo hereby re-adnpt the said resolutions as the act of this General Assembly, and declare that Virginia is fully de- j tcrminecJ to aonerc to ner position men assumed. Resolved, further, That this General Assembly heartily approve the [imposed Convention of Southern States, to be held at Nashville on the first Monday in June next, and that it will proceed on the day of to the election, Ivy joint ballot, o( four delegates to said Convention, and that the people of Virginia be requested to elect at the next Spring elections, a delegate from each Congressional District? wLch delegates shall jointly, with those selected by the General Assembly, represent this State in said Convention. Resolved, That the reasonable expenses ol the said delegates be paid out of the public i Treasury. Resolved. That this Committee askjleavc to sit n??:iin for the mimose of nreiiaring an address , to the people ol Virginia upon tho subject of the foregoing resolutions. Corre?ponilenee of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Jan. 20, 1850 It is to lie hoped that the House will to mor row re-consider tho resolution postponing the election of door keeper and post-master till the 4lh March, 1851. I apprehend that it the j motion to reconsider prevail, the House will j occupy itself with a less innocent amusement than that of voting and electioneering for petty officii. I believo that tho Wilmot Proviso, as involved in Mr. Root's proposed instructions to the Committee ou Territories, or some proposition in relation to slavery, will be immediately sprung upon the House, and that, from that data every attempt at legislation or deliberation will be thwarted. Without wishing to produce alarm, I must say, as an observer, Rnd with opportunities of knowing what is going on, there is danger ahead. The case of Joseph Little, a citizen of Maryland, who is confined in jail, and in irons, in Huntington, has, I sec, attracted tho notice of your Legislature. The case was, several days ago, talked of here, and with much feeling. It was represented (hut L'ille was sent as an agent of a citizen of Washington county, to recover a fugitive slave, and had a power of at. . ri_ ioriiejr 10 uci u#r mo owiirr. lie auuiiijMcu iu arrest the slave, but was himself arrested and thrown into jail on a charge, of kidnapping.? In this same county of Huntington, whero Little is imprisoned, a citizen of Washington county Md., was, a year ago, killed in a popular tumult occasioned by an attempt to arrest a fugitive slave, and the man who killed him was acquitted. From tho same county of Huntington petitions have been sent to Congress to repeal the act of 1793 for the recovery of fugitive slaves, in compliance with the constitutional provision. A law of Pennsylvania has, virtually, abrognrogatcd that clause of the constitution. The bill no* before the Senate for the more effectual execution of this constitutional pro vision, proposes to do all that lies in tho power of congress to do on the subject. Hut nothing pan be effectually done to remove this fruitful source of irritation ynless tho people ?nd tho Legislature of the non slaveholding Status will co operate with Congress in carrying this vital clause of the Constitution into effect. There is really moro Jroqblo in regard to this oiajtcr than any other, and it more seriously threatens the harmony and perpetuity of the Union, than does tho Territory question. WW ..JL LJM -LCAMDEN, S. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 20,1850. j IMPORTANT. It will be recollected that the flr^t Monday in !

We hope the District meetings will be well attended.

You love the Union: ihcn come up to the defence of your rights, the only way the Union can be preserved. Had unanimity prevailed in the Southern Caucus at Washington Inst year, then would the voice of Northern fanaticism already have been weakened. Will you, then, pall the arms of those who knowing their rights, would defend them! You will do it if you stay at home on the first of April. When the trump of war.was sounded in the city of David, the heroes of Palestine, from Dan to Beersheha, answered its summons ; and d.d the dwellers about the banks of the Jordan possess more patriotism than those of the Wateree J Let the first of April answer.? Who so old but that feels as if lie yet had rights he would not lose! Who so languid, that he would still sleep, though the storm of fanaticism rage around ! It is a subject of momentous interest to all?to each. The venerable Laxgdon future, who voars : tro laid his armor bv. and rc ?>? w. ~~| , D- _ . tired full of honors from the political arena, like a Lion roused from his lair, has again buckled the \va-rior's armor on to do battle in the cause of the South.

IIow many have wished that l he days of ancient story?the times of chivalry?were again revived; and they have been.? What would the Anti-Slavcrpst do! He would destroy our institutions : he would force the brighteyed beauties of our sunny land, to do the drudge and slop work that lie imposes upon the emigrant, who comes to our land in search of freedom, he would rob us of our negroes, and push upon us the degraded pauper population of the North: lie would, in destroying our institution?, destroy that high-tohcd feeling " ihal I am une of the sovereign" which the poorest man in the South, though he never did, and never may, own a negro, has?of which a large portion of the paupers at the North have no conception: in tine, lie would establish what they are fust tending to in the North?a tenanted piebiaiiisnt and a landed aristocracy?the inevitable result of abolitionism in the South. iMethinks for far less cause the Hermit Peter roused sleeping Europe to defend the Ifoly Sepulchre from the Saracens, and our Fathers of '70 battled about Uobkirk's Hill to gain us a freedom which the abolitionist would reduce to less than a name. Then let every man in the District, in whose soul ever did, or ever wi'l, burn a sparK 01 aouiiiermsm, come u[> to tlie meetings on the first of April. Lot tlic Delegates then and there appuinlod send hco to the Sout'icm Convention who will remember that though Washington, the revered patriot of better days, said " cling to the Union as th? ark of our safety," lie taught U6 by his life and acts to " resist oppression from whatever source it may come."

CONGRESS. January 7th, 1850. Senate.?The hill of Mr. Clemens, of Alabama, calling on the President for information relative to California, was taken up. A protractcu (icoaie followed. in the course of which Mr. Clemens and Mr. Slrclds, of Illinois, had some sharp words, the former making the following true remark, taken with very few exceptions: "The Senator from Alabama did make thai assertion. I said it, and I say it now, and I am responsible for it. I was saying, sir, that the democracy of the Northern States were willing to shield the President from investigation on this subject, because the <|Ueslion of slavery was involved in it.

DASH. tor the Camden Journal. Mr. Editor; The times in w hich we live are pregnant with groat events. If wc road aright the nuguiies of the futuie, the day is near at hand, when this groat confederacy of sovereign States shall have reached the culminating point of its glory. That point in her history, whence dates her decline.?A period which, in earlier ages of the world, nations could only attain at", tor centuries of laboured progress and develop* incut. Kven now, no longer do we maintain nnassnilrd, the proud birthright which we inherited from our progenitors. The virtue and piety by which the distinguished founders of our government were nobly characterized, are sup. planted by luxury, vice, fanaticism and crime. Their devotion to liberty and the rights ol'maii ? ' > """".li 'K.i inruiwliarv'u t.irfh flnrt ....J the assassin's knife. Their reverence fur the fraternal union which they leil us, is now desecrated to weld the manacles which bind a mi. nority of that union to disgraceful submission. Their attachment to principle, which jeopuided their lives, their fortunes and honor, to re|>e| a nominal yet unrighteous burthen, is now iepudialed in favor of expediency. With the advent of these sentiments among those who constitute the majority in this confederacy, it becomes then all who value their liberties, to cast about for the means of preserving them from the impending Miin. It is now demonstrated that the Southern States enn no Ionizer remain in the Uni/o^up. mi equal terms, awl we assume as an a/fom of our political creed thai there is no gnyjual progression between inequality and absolute and unqualified degradation. Ileuce, we must resist now, this position of inequality about to lx? assigned us, or wo must defer resistance till neaier the depths of our woes. It is evidently wiser to resist now. The question is how? We answer, by the action of the proposed Nashville Convention. The affirmation of that action by the People of the Sooth?the recall of Southern members of Congress?the appoint! mcnl of revenue officers, the arming of the mij lilia, the erection of defences, and the organii ztlion of a Southern Confederacy. | If our promises are correct, this position is ! aosoMleiy essential 10 the maintenance 01 our ! Liberties and Rights, nn?l hence the question of ! expediency, now so lashionable, ought not to bo j considered?but there can lie no doubt that in I this, as ir most other cases* by God's proviI deucp, ih path of duty is the path of interest. ( Suppose we yield?suppose slavery is rej stricted to its present limits in the States, and i abolished in the District of Columbia, and all : other places over which the jurisdiction of the United States is exclusive, the inter-Stale slave trade (as it is called) abolished, the maximum, rates of tariff on all articles ol Southern importation established, the Constitution altered and i ihe renresontation oi slaves in Congress abro I - I B - " gated, and what follows 1 The restrictions on slavery will hare forced abolition upon all but the cotton States, and they, unable to help themselves, will be degraded into a state of imbecile dependency, having ihe name ol freedom without its substance, while the majority? will fallen upon the proceeds-of our labor, and chuckle gleefully over their success in this " struggle for political power," as it is termed by Mr. Webster. What if we now resist? First we may pre. pare fi?r 'be Federal Imyooets, with which wewere lately threat cowl by the Chief Magistrate in his Message to C'ongrpss, backed by the roluntccr lorces, collected from the riotous blackguards who give so much trouble to the peaceful iuhsthiinnts ot the Morthern cities.
