At tin' close of Mr. Inmle's speech, he, in his tisiia! trenchant style, attacked the Missouri Senator, iti the following man I ner, which, whatever may In thouoln <tj' ji< point and ellectiveiiess, in that order ofora'orv lallinsj within the description of tiie ar^awnfuai ml hnmincm, is certainly un-'stia! in the Senate of the United States.?C'ur. Arc. A7.vr.f. Now, sir. f appeal t?i the S mate ;iml Hie countrv, whether ! Ii:tv*t? n it a right to complain of the honorable Senator from Missouri firhav. inir thus unceremoniously appn printed to him self the work of my hands, ami the result of my painful meditations? If the honorable Senator had condescended to a*k my consent to his lie. corning godfather to a m.wure, which in its ( purer arrl less objectionable shape, did not ori. ginnle with him; if ho had given mo due no. ticc of his intentions thns to pirate npon the poor creations of my intellect; and this astound, ing liberty had been taken by a liiend, or by i one friendly to the South in her present trying 1 position, I should not perhaps have seiiou.lv complained of ilie outrage. Hut, sir, the case !< ? verv different one indeed. The offensive conduct which I am noticing ha*been practised by an iudiviilual more re?pon-ib!e, in my judg- . inent, than any man, living or dea I. for the tin | happy condition in which the republic is in. volved. It was he that hurried so impcriously through the Semite the odious Oregon lull pass : ed eighteen man lis since. It was he that voted against the Mexican treaty, by which a terri torial domain so invaluable was .secured to the ( nation. It was lie who attempted, alter the : treaty had become part of the supreme law n| the land, to nullify its provisions, by setting up ; what is known as the protocol in opposition to it. It is he who presumes to jhs >bey the instructions of the Missouri Legislature, to whom he owes the Senatorial rob-s which now invest ; his person, and all the opportunities ??i .u ijmiing renown and influence which In? has enjoy ! oil for the ia>l ihirlv wars. It is lie who has ( taken it upon hinwlf to wander oft* some thou, j sands ot miles into the bosom ofhis own Slate, and inveigh, in language of ihe coarsest ecurrility ami most envenomed alaise against men whom lie dares not here meet in debate,? whose characters, public and private, are as spotless as purity itself? and whose whole lives have been illustrated and adorned '-y the practice of all those virtues which bespeak the pa-* triot, the philanthropist and the christian. This, sir, i? the heroic chieftain, who, when fir distant from the objects ol his hostility, denounces them as traitors, disnoinuists, and villains, and threatens, on getting sight oft hem in tin? Sen1 ate house, to demolish them forever; lint who. when he gets here once more am oig us, is ei ther mysteriously or stoically silent, or assuming a truly lamb like meekness of aspect and of manner, and a soft nusiliiy of intonation, cooround the Senate Chamber "as gently as any licking dove." This sir, is the person who has presumed, in l!i?* veiy bosom of one of the largo slave States of lite Union, (? declaim fiercely against slavery, and tn Hve forth all the encouragement which, as "a southerner ' and slaveholder,'' he had it in his power in sua- j ply to the enemies of our institutions north of! Mason's and Dixon's line. This is the Drin >cratic leader who has scattered confusion and discord through the whole Democratic ranks ol the North, who, hut lor him and his accursed teachings, 1 verily believe, would, under the sage and honest counsels which emanated from ihu honorable. Senator from Michigan who sits before us, (Mr. C:m.) havis stood lirm!) .ui'l fearlessly on I he nou-iiiterfeicnco doctrines ot the renowned Nicholson Idler. This is the "learned Thehau" who lias la- j ken it upon himself lo proclaim, in more than one speech, now in print, not only that Congre?s has a right under the Constitution to legislate upon slavery in territories, hut who h is even gone so far as to assert tIt'll no mm oj xrntc j now doubled the authority >! Congress to Icgis. ; late in this manner; though lie well knew a? j the time that the honorable Senator I mm South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun.) the honorable Sena tor from .Michigan, (Mr. Cass,) the honorable Senator froiQ Ceorgia, (Wr. Berrien,) an I thousands and hundreds of hous i'ids l?e*i le, in different parts of the Kepublie, possessed of uu- : derstandiug at least as sound and trust worthy a> . hiit own. entertained opinions diieiTv lie re verse of that which he was thus fiercely flibni. nating ; among wnom I rrni-t mention the Se nator frnm Texas, (Mr. f Ion-ton,) who siis over the way, and who, in his a111i-(? ad-den letter, has so emphatically declared himsell'npposed to the Wiliriot Proviso upon every ground of oppo Rition heretofore assumed to it. 'I'llis too, sir, is the indiscreet rhetorician \vh??s??- iiid iitiuiatory adthmsses to large popular assemblies in Missouri, during tin; la-t summer, aro said to have produced a most startling effect among tin: lave population in tint surrounding country; who, as it is reported, !?y twenties and forties, put themselves in full flight for the leather of Waters, and made- their escape into the neighboring Stale of Illinois.

They are willing to submit to much of what they consider giiovanrvs f?r the sake of harmony. Mr. Clingman, in his speech of yes j i tcrdav, which is to I re regarded as an authentic j exposition of the views of the whole .South on the topics which it treats, offers two modes of settling the territorial question. Senator Bill. : !er has also [toin'ed to modes which would be satisfactory t i the South. The alternative is now presented to the j i Northern member*, til compromise or of a sus- ^ pcnsi-iii of the operations of the government. j Not another supply itiil will he allowed to pa<s the Mouse ? to sav nothing of the Senate, until I r> i the territorial <pn-.stinn t\ settled!

The South has learned the i Northern tactics, by which John Davis del'ea. tctl the two million hill, and by which the Nor- I thorn members, lust session, defeated Walker's : amendment, which would have settled the ter. j ritoiial question. Tins wheels of the govern m-Mit may stop f.?r a year or two, and until the North shall either assent In a reasonable ad. j Mni'.'nt of ilie territorial question, or take upon | themselves the initiatory steps of violence.

Shall we trace out the gradual advances and the stealllily approach o| the enemy who hath | d<< tie this' Jtis ton late. The past?with its times and seasons?its oppor'nuilies lor crushthe fiend, has gone li?rever. The future, dark, uncertain, and portentous as it now appears, is what we have to deal with, and wo may only i giancn at the past so larsis it niav assist to enlighten our future course. And a singlo feature in our policy and system lialh begotten tho greater part, ii not all ol the peril which now 1 hangs over the country. Tho canker spot is j parly factum. Tim baneful spirit of party strife j has fostered ami wanned into vigor and lift-, the j viper of fanaticism, which \vonld otherwise have ! perished in its own concealing latitude. The petty party issqos ofpolitieians, and demagogues at the Noith. were eagerly adopted by the. re- , spective partisans at the South, and we only j awake from our stupor to realize that we have j been duped and deceived. In confirmation of thi?, we will only allude I tolhcla>t Prtisdiential election. If the people j oftlie South had regarded their rights and in forests of greater value than party success or if they had properly estimated the consequen. ces oftheir blind adhesion to party obligations, would they have elevated a nan to the Chief .Magist?tey who wilfully and repeatedly evaded any declaration of his opinions upon the question which, of all others, was important to theni! Or, if even entertaining confidence in ti>?. Taylor us a Smithnrii man, woiiiu muy j have elevated with liirri Millard Filrnore? ! known to l?i? opposed to their institutions and ' interests? That man. who by his recorded votes, was known to he nn cnomv to the South, now occupies a posit ion by which, in all proba bility, lie will seal the destiny of the. Union.? j If the Senate he. equally divided, who doubts j Imt bis vote will be oiven in consonance with j his feelings and prejudices? We are not blinded by party prejudice, and ' although we believe in the cardinal' principles ! avowed and sustained by the Democratic par- j ly of this country, we would repudiate, and do j repudiate, any member ol that party who would j 11.s>.nict it lit i/m-i 1 riirlil < of a lit' nOrtioil ul I lie confederacy.

Hut the ordeal has to be passed. And in all frankness and honesty we would a*k candid men j I both paities at the South, if they do not put j more lailh in the votes of Cass, Poiiglas?, and j hi'.-bin.nil ttil'l ill llii.

Their number may j lie lew; aniliiiion, popularity, anil the spoils of j allien may cause the many to swerve from the j beaten path, lint we believe that Northern , Democrats will have the honor ot defeating the j hateful measures now sought to In? forced lipon j ihe South. The votes of such true hearted men j is those above mentioned, we hope an I lieleive, . will carry their country through this fierce or leal. Hut whether or not, we trn-t no patty :qiiahh!c; at home will distract, nor by causing Jivision, weaken us. TFMTSi JRUOTSSAILo CAMDEN, S. C.

The Grand Division of this .Slate held its ijuarcrly meeting in Snmterville, commencing on rhursday evening Ulth instant, and adjourned on j r'riday night lollowing, aitcr a very interesting, | nid we hope, profitable session, '/'ho G. \V. 1'., ( Dr. .Mendcnhali, nf (Charleston, was prevented from ittcnding. The (J. IF. A., Col. Grisham, of Pick. me, presided. On F. id v morning, a procession j vas formed, and marched to the .Methodist Church, ! vhere the audience was ably and eloquently ad- ; lrossed by Capt. R Suinte', Col. J. IJ. Kershaw, ind Col. (Jrisdiam. We have reason to believe that i he efforts of these gentlemen will tell for time to ; oine to the interest ami advantage of the cause ! vhich they so powerfully advocated. Temperance tas done much for the District of Sumter, as was Icinonstrated an lltin occasion. TJictown of Sumcrville is rapidly improving, and it is hut reason- i ihlc to suppose that temperance has contributed argcly to litis sittc of improvement. Wo might ickuowlcdgc Sumter as the banner District of reinpcrance, if Lnncnsirr was not in the way ; but ,ve may say il it is not the firs!, it is in lite very first j 'ine. Tlic next session ul the Grand Division will ! >e held ill Camden, on I he fourth Thursday in ' April, commencing at 10 o'clock, a.m. The proceedings of the Grand Division will appear in the Temperance Advocate, the able organ of the cause in South Carolina, and w'li, wo doubt not, prove ; interesting to the many friends of temperance who were not present to enjoy the meeting. TUB NICARAGUA QUESTION. It. is becoming more and more evident that the West India Isles ami Central America arc becoming the points around which the avaricious desires of I'iiigland centre, and the sources from which she hopes to draw a rich and fruitful harvest. The .ri-M.ii.imr niilirv of KiHflnml has ever aimed at su- i n* l""n l v " o premnry, and fertile isles of tlic Tropics have ever > contributed In enr.clicn and render still more powerful lior universal navy. The political weakness of Spain, i.lic scarcely equalized (iovernment of France, the distracted state of Central Furopo, and i the probable ruptuic of our own (iovernincnt, j would mark this as the time few Fujjlafid to make her advances on the territory of the U'estcrn 1 World. Tlio seizure of Tigre Inland, and her demnnstral/ons toward Nicaragua, show thai she is not asleep to her interests. The evident duplicity of our Secretary of State in this matter, shows that he is not free from some kind ol British influence. A slight el qucttical fau.r j/ns on the part j of the French Minister, roused the awful indignation of .1/r. Clayton to quite a dangerous extent, while we suppose he wnulJ give England a foot hold in Central America, and bequeath (if lie had the power) the bright " Empire of the Isles" to gain a smile from the Envoy of Her Majesty.

AitoLiTioxia.tr ix disguise?school books? teachers' convention. Gentlemen:?I entirely sympathize with the spirit of the eatract from the Augusta Constitutionalist in your paper of .Monday morning. During the past year, my attention was specialIy directed to the various series of text hooks used in our literary institutions, for the purpose of selecting a series for one of our female seminaries. i was perfectly amazed to find how insidiously doctrines inimical to our institutions were incorporated in the hooks issued from till! | Northern press, i applied ton hook merchant to know if we could dot have expurgalr.il editions ofhooksotherwise valuable, tie answered that the Southern demand for nnv one class of hooks was not sufficient to induce any publisher to issue such editions. This arises from the fact that there is no uniformity in the class hooks of our schools?each teacher exercising his own private judgment and fancy in making his selection. To remedy this evil, t propose that all the 1 teachers in this Slate, who approve of the object, assemble in Convention, in the town of Columbia, on the first Monday of July next, fur the ntmiose ofmakinir a nroner selection of I I C? I lost books, ami o| consulting upon educational subjects generally. M'e shall thus be able to obtain hunk* purged of abolitionism, and will secure (be u>e of I lie best Itooks in all our schools, wbicli will lend tu elevate the standard of education ; and, a.s uniformity will also b? obtained, a considerable item ol expense to parents, in I In* frequent and sometimes necessary chango of text books will be avoided. 1 suggest that the editors who approve of tin! measure,'publish the call in several numbers of their papers; and that all teachers who desire to respond to the call, send in their names to the editors of the fSouth Carolinian, post paid, that a list may be published in due time. A 1 J'iALIi-fcK. THE NEWS FROM EUROPE. The brightest gleam of common sense which we have seen lor some time past i:i the rules of France, is a recommendation of the President to inquire into the expediency of reducing the duty on foreign articles ol looil and raw material for mamiiuctnres. 'i'he same accounts tell us that all articles offood ure bearer in France than in England, by thirty per cent, or more. However this may lie. we have long since understood that, between tin1 two countries, 'hey were dearest in France. And as they are dear, er in England than in the United States, wo * - - . - ? .1.. could, if t es>! duties were removed or grrauy reduced, supply I lie F re rich with fbod mi terms very advantageous to both nations. As a peoj pie, the French an1 not well ted ; and the effect* of it are evident to linvelleix in the contrast between the people of the cities and no small poilion of'the agricultural population. ? Of the latter, a large portion have no animal too I more than once a week, and some not so frequently; and in some disl.icls, the crop of chcsntils is an important substitute lor bread. This has proceeded from t wo causes. The first is higlr taxation, tin the stupid purposes of maintaining the splendors of royalty, arid largo armies, a necessary element in the aggressive sy-liNii ??f E impp. The Sedofid are the equal, ly si lipid purpose ?l forcing the prosperity of agriculture hy the exclusion ol foreign compe. I if ion. Thus while France does not produce bread enough for its people, in dohserpience of which, large iituwhers ait: driven lo chrsitu/s, its government compels them In pay high prices for sugar, to force its cultivation at home, in spile of soil and climate. , ' If the present high duties on foreign Ibod were remoter1} our beef, pmk, hulter, cheese, flour, Indian corn, would soon Iks introduced among the French population, agricultural as well as mnnnlactirring. The wine producers would then have more bread, the grain prodtf-> cers more meat, and the manufacturers rnor^e of hah. And the French wotrd pay for our pro. ;n nn mil* limited sale ol silks, cloths, and "I" *' "" w other manulartuies. By this system of?* change, the French would be better fed, nnd wo would be better clad. Besides high duties an foreign food, the French Government imposes high duties on cof.? ton and other raw materials lor their manufactures. Why can they not lie wise enough to admit our cotton free of -duty ? Their manufactures ofit arc continually .increasing, and they must depend on us lor supply. Perhaps they look forwatd to its cultivation in Algiers; and it so, they merely nahihil their usual straining at impracticabilities. If they cannot afford to re* . linquish the revenue produced by this high ta.v at ion of foreign articles, they should avoid the necessity for so much revenue by reducing their enormous and Worse than useless armyj by itp cumbrous system of internal ??i* - -y administration, and leaving tho departments and communes to manage their local affairs at home; by abolishing their vile governmental snperiiitendnnco of religion, and leave it to take care of itself. Hot they are growing wiser, as this suggestion of their President shews, and will eventually comprehend the American system of leaving government as little to do aspossihlu. We advise our own government to profit by this dawning wisdom, and to instruct our minister in France to attempt negotiation for, the more Extensive admission of our agri.cujt.ural products.?Phil.
