Indications at the North of IIostimty To the South.?The Northern " Uitwnisis" par excellence, as the hitter enemies of Southern rights at the North arrogantly and falsely style themselves, are employing various arid highly characteristic modes of expressing their hate for the States and people of the South.? We commend their acts and suggestions to their allies in the South, who are so continually echoing the slandc-rs and sympathizing in the purposes of these high-minded patriots. We observe that one of these manifestations of en niity to the Southern States consists 111 the uefacement of the stone which had been contrihu ted by South Carolina to the monument to he erected by the people of the United States to that most illustrious of Southern men and slaveholders?George Washington. This deed of vandalism is worthy of those who have concocted the still more vandalic act of destroying this Union, b}* their interference with the lights and institutions of the South, guarantied by the compact under which this Union was formed. Another manifestation of hostility to the South we observe in a quarter from which a more honorable and just spirit was to he expected. We refer to the Philadelphia Ledger r * Intl..r? nui o,>n,.milv of ?a paper ui vast uihim..,.,,,, t. moderate views. In this journal it ia slated that Mr. Walsh will l>e removed from the Consulship in Paris on account of his attachment to Mr. Calhoun and his pro-slavery opinions. The w riter further suggcststhat M r. Clenison, Charge to Belgium, and son-in-law of the illustrious patriot of South Carolina, ought to be removed for a like reason, as he is known to be devoted to Southern views. This suggestion is thrown out by one who appears to be familiar with affairs iu Washington. We hope, for the sake of the peace of the States and of the Union that it may have no other foundation tlian in the speculations or a Washington letter-writer. Should it prove true^ and a rule of action like thi3 be established at Washington, that men of the South are to be proscribed, ostracised for their devotion to their own homes and firesides, and to those rights without which those honres will be converted into scenes ot desolation and debasement, we regard the peril, which even now begins to darken in the future, as near and imminent. And yet is not this but one step beyond the doctrine so extensively maintained at the iNortn, which contemplates excluding the South from all participation in the advantages of the new territory, acquired by the joint valor and labor of all theStates?a pretension not abandoned even by ' ? ^1- - l.i. _ many oi those who supporieu me iaie cumpruwise I ill ? The absorption of ail the common territory of the Union ??y the North renders but one step further necessary to complete the enslavement and | rost ration of the South, and that we find in this suggestion to exclude all Southern pro-sltircry men from office. U nder such circumstances as these, in the face of such manifestations of bitter enmity towards the Southern people and States - an enmity which lia6 no other pretext but the determination of the South to resist the unnumbered wrongs and in sulta winch-avarice and fanaticism are accumulating upon her h?'ad, it becomes all true sous of the Sputh to. rally to- the defence of their rights, and to bur] a scornful defiance at those ...V.,-, .unnU rai'i.aU tV.ia f niftsi rift-mini and so.

Affairs in Ccba.?We had the pleasure this morning of conversing with a merchant of this city who had just returned from ? vi>it to the island of Cuba. He represents the excitejnent there is in relation to the Lopez expedition as still being very intense. Tiie expedition is the subject of conversation among all classes and a very strong feeling against tiie American residents and those who visit the Island on business has sprung up as one of the evils of that ill-advised movement. Our informant is confi dent that titu trading clas?, the merchants, are almost unanimously in favor of the revolutionary movements, and would aid it so far as in their power, withot rendering themselves liable to detection. The authorities are very minute and rigid in their examination of foreigners arriving at the island, and the}' are not nlwasy notek lor their gentlemanly demeanor while pursuing their in vestigation. Military discipline is still enforced with rigor, the militia being required to drill regularly.? Guards are stationed on the wharves at Cardenas every night, and the most vigilant precautions are taken to prevent a surprise. While our 'informant was there, a great alarm was created by a smoke which was seen oil one of the islands in the bnv. and which was caused by ?i party who had visited the island. The Cubans thought it was a steamer with troops, waiting for the approach of night to effect a lauding, -it eeonnoiteriug parties were sent out, and as they failed to get any satisfactory solution of the mystery, the regular troons were ordered out. and, headed by the Governor, were stationed along the wharves, whero thev remained during the night. The militia were also placed under arms, ready for action at a moment's warning. The next day enabled them to ascertain the cause ot their grouoilless fears. It is amusing to hear the rumors which provail oil the arrival of a steamer from New York. One of the most current, while our friend was there, was that Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, had pledged to Gen. Lopez that if he would effect another landing, with 5,000 men, he (Garibaldi) would, in Jive day* after he heard the fact land jmntlier force nf fidflll men. Of course it was understood tliat the arrangement for such a movement were all complete?steamers in in readiness, men selected, <fc. By many of the people those rumors are believed to he wellfounded, and they are in constant apprehension of another invasion.?Boston Journal. One thousand women of Western New York have shown themselves destitute of the honesty and virtue of good law-loving and moral citizens. "Tliou shaft not steal" is a command from the (iod of the Universe; Wnt. L. Chaplin did steal, ami Western New York women have commended him for the theft. He not only violated the laws of iiis country, hut he has broken the laws of his Creator. Of course we may infer from this pitcher presentation that ev cry one of these ten cent contributors would violate the some law; and if one comnmnd~>""t ><= ant fo whot hnsli.'itirl nr lover would trust them against the violation of others? e only drew an inference, and are glad none of them are our relatives.?N. Y. Day Book. i? joigis'iOjk CAMDEN. S. C. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1850. Our Market. The life and animation exhibited on our business streets for the last week, has been gratifying indeed. From one end of the street to the other it lias been lined with wagons. Our merchants have any thing else but the blues. Our cotton prices are nearlv up to Charleston?while our stocks are but little inferior. And still more there is not a single case of siekness in town. All we lack is a plank Road, and Camden will be llie place. When the Editor of the Wadesboro Argus comes up to our idea of decent and high-toned Editorial controversy, we will then meet him as "A foetuaii worthy our steel." Our thanks are due Hon. J. A. Woodward for Public Documents. Nashville Convention. This body will meet in November, in accordance with previous appointment. All that was then feared has transpired, and they meet, not to remodel preventatives, but to ant upon the disease. First ot ail, Congress passed an act, by which she took seven millions of southern dollars to buy up slave tearitory, from a slave state, in order that free soil doctrines might cover it Nor is it any argument in favor of this act, that the Texas delegation voted for it?or any partof them. That they were unfaithful to their state?unfaithful to themselves?and more than all, unfaithful to. the sonth?is conclusively proven from the fact that Howard, when it was first recommended, before the wire pullers, national partyists and bribery fraternity could get hold of him, indignantly denounced it in the Representatives Chamber, and pledged Texas to shed her blood Ix-lore she would yield to it. Rut before that syren lure, the. hope of preference?even his fiery zeal grew cold?and now, * L" ' C.. M/inai I ?f lliA <" I itlflll llllOO wnai may uc me icsuu ui mc muu>.??u of the Representatives of the Texas delegation on the people 01' Texas, in a great measure uninformed on the matter, we cannot tell. The Territorial Bills followed, but as there was- no necessity of VVilmot provisoing them, tliey were allowed to pass. Next came California?a measure which the Legislatures of almost every southern state passed Resolutions to resist. A measure,in point .... t . _ j ... -.1. ... 4^ I of inlauiou.- K-giMiiiion, uiuieara ui, truner iu olj infiicied or submitted to. A mongrel population, j from every quarter of the known earth, and from J some of the specimens, we might say from the unknown, meeting1 in? mining cauctik?forming themselves into a state?applying for admission? and because they had the Wilmot proviso incorparated in thpir deformed Constitution, they must needs be admitted. A few marines and soldiers, Botany bay boys and negroes (and we have the evidence of an eyc-witne.--?a United States officer.) formed the whole machinery, under the direction of T. Butler King, sent out especially lor that pur < - pose, by the present auomiou vioveruuicm?wuu boundaries large enough to embrace several eastern empires, and when it will have becomea populous State, with ;:s abolition popuia.ion, will iurtt the power that wi.l grind the sou titer n Suites to pieces. A boundary embracing the entire hue of Pacific sea coast, and closing forever to tlio South every door to the unlimited commerce of the East which wiiriiereafter Hood America through this channel. Driving the southerner from soil lie purchased by his blood, and appropriating it to themselves?cowards, who were afraid to tight for it, as the history of the war by which it was gained, will tell. Not content still. They have abolished the slave trade in the District of Columbia. A wanton insult to the ISouih?a precedent upon which they w ill act to abolish slavery in the District entirely?and foliow it up itt the States. This is hut a glance at the successive steps of usurpation, that the North, in connection with Southern Abolitionists, or Southern Traitors (if they pretlr the title) have passed upon the South. And we ask how long?Oh, ye Catalines of the Souih, will you abuse our patience by preaching submission to rrc Ii*vnnr .' rnvwii hearts umild I auill ^iai IIJ? \\ i uilgr* at J w??? V.?, tell you submit, seek some land, where gaily slaves would refuse to live?and desecrate 110 longer the land which is shaded bv the Banner of the stars and stripes?mementoes of a better day. To fix upon some concerted mode of action to redress our grievances, the Southern convention will meet. We hear from all quarters of the South, the moving of the people to send Delegates. If there bo a State, which has 110 cause of complaint, let them fail to send Delegates. But as this is not the case, we sincerely hope that every Southern State will be represented. Any one of the infamous acts lately passed hy Congress, would never for one day have been submitted to by our Revolutionary sires. And he who will calmly submit to them now, in the blazing light of the Sun of Liberty, need never say tny FatheJ fought in the.' days of'76, unless he adds, on the Tory side. / If no other Stale will secede, South fc&rolina must alone. We can never be crushed, depend upon it. Our very tree, the Classic Palmetto, points us to our remedy. Why every leaf it bears is a sword, as if to remind us that even nature bore arms for us. We crushed! never. Persia, with her army of three millions of warriors, sent to little Sparta for a handful of dirt?(not for an empire of gold dust)?Sparta threw her messengers in the well?(we get them to Edit for us. to teach our children abolitionism, to preach hypocrisy and cant.) Petsia came to crush Sparta. A little Spartan Boy, before starting to battle, complained to his mother Ihat "his sword was too short." "Make it longer, my son, by a step for ward," was her answer- Carolina, is your sword too short? make it longer by a step forward. And Persia's conquerer shall yet cross the Hollespontin a frail fishing Dark. Gov. Towns of Georgia Has called a convention of that State by proclamation to meet in December. The press, so far a.- we have seen, sustains him in it. We have great hopes for Georgia. She has too many noble sons to yield to Cobb-ation and Lumpkinism, or to be fettered in slavery and submission to Yankees, because Toombs and Stephens want otfice.s in the grand National Party. Correspondence of the Camden Journal. Anson Co., N. C., Sept. 23,1850. Dear Journal:?In accordance with your request, I drop you a line, on the absoibing question of the crops. Our cotton will be quite a short crop; perhaps one third lost. Corn is perhaps letter th?n was expected, but with the high prices which they both will command, the Farmers will not he bankrupt. I have heard little said here, relative to the California Bill.? * Our Court lias passed oft'after a two weeks session. I remain yours, T.

The preamble and constitution were then submitted to tho meeting and adopted without a dissenting voice. Col. J. R Kershaw then moved that the constitution be signed and attested by the Secretaries and the meeting be requested to sign. lie earnestly hoped that the nrder-b-iag cilbcns of Kershaw would proscribe no man for refusing to sign tho Constitution, lie urged this for two reasons: first, because honest j differences of opinion mudxist in every free country; and next, becauFfli-h associations as these are principally vable as a true indi- M cation of the sentiments ae People; and if st: any were forced under thesh of public pro- \v scription to make pledges ieh they were not prepared, at heart, to redcy it u oald lose its h< inestimable character of trc.

We give the concluding paragraphs of the letter addressed to the Governor: 'The anti slairvy bills' which have passed, especially the one admitting Caliafornia as a State, justify, in our opinion, the strongest .measure of redreas; and, in view of our safety for ti e future, a withdrawal ofAlabama from the Union is a matter worthy the immediate consideration of a State Convention.
