From the Charleston Courier.
SOUTHERN CON'ENTION.-Wo were
gratified to see our views, on this sub
ject, cordially, indorsod by our friend of
the Columbia Telegraph. United as
we are, in the groat object nowto be
accomplished, he must pardon our al
lusion to what we honestly deem the
honest errors of the past. In making
that allusion, we hadno intention of re
viving a buried feud, nor any other
sinister purpose, whatsoever.-We
merely desired to explain our position
and put ourselves rectus in curia. In
the tariff controversy, we opposesI sep
arate State action, and went for South
ern Convention, or joint Southern ac
tion, because we really believed it would
at once restore harmony and insure per
petuity to the Union, by securing justice
to the South. So, too, we go for South
ern Convention, or joint Southern action,
now, in relation to the Wilmot Proviso,
because we really believe it will at once
restore harmony and insure perpetuity
to the Union, by securing justice and
constitutional equality to the South.
The Telegraph mistakes, if it suppo
ses we have just waked up on this sub
ject. It has long engaged our anxious
attention, although we thought it pru
dent and to-clamor about it and even to
let others, and particularly others out
of our own State, take the lead in the
matter. Early in May last, however,
when Delegates, for the several Dis
tricts and Parishes of the State, were
about to meet, at Columbia, on the sub
ject, we discussed the question of the
Wilmot Proviso, in several of its bear
ings, over the signature of "Carolin
ians," (see Courier of May last,) and
concluded with the following views and
recommendations as to the specific re
medy for the threatened evil:
"In the next place, we would earn
estly counsel that action on our part
should be in concert with our sister
Southern States. ' Let us make no at
tempt to take the lead and thus awaken
suspicion or jealousy-nor to isolate
ourselves by separate action, and thus
neutralize our influence and defeat our
own purpose. This is a matter of com
mon, as well as vital concern to the en
tire South, and on it the South, should
be united, both in sentiment and action,
as one man. We are engaged in a
conflict of section against section, and
in union only can efficiency and safety
be secured; if divided here, complete
lar, may be touc'hed in this way.
and disastrous must be our failure and
our fall. Let the Southbut present an
united front, and victory, the peaceful
victory of constitutional right and equal
justice, will, and must crown her righ
teous cause. Whatever, then, may be
the plan of action, let it be one of coin
munion, of fellowship, of complete and
harmonious concert with the South.
Let the watchword, and, if necessary
the war cry be, not Carolinians, but
"Southrons to the rescue!"-and all
will yet be well.
"Lastly, as to the specific plan of
present action, we would, with defer
ence, and yet wvith confidence in its
prop~riety and efficiency, propose a
Southern Convention--a Convention of
the Southern States-not a mere as
semblage of delegates, appointed by
popular meetings--but a convention of
delegates, appointed by, or under the
authionty of the legislatures of the re
spective States-to meet in the capital
of Virginia, ,or some othier leading
Southern State-other than in our own
in case the Wilmot prov'iso, or any oth
er kindr-ed measure, shall IWCecome a law
clothed with full power to deprive the
mode and~ measure of redress, proper
for the assertion of Southern rights and,
the vindication of' Southern honor. To
this dignified and imposing assemblage,
we would commit, untrammelled, the
whole field of action, reserving, only,
to the respective States, the right of
concurrence or dissent, as an insopara
hle incident of State Sovereignty. Let
such an assemblage meet-nay, let it
but be resolved on by the United South
-and, our life on it, the issue, the
happy, the glorious issue, will be, at
once, Perpetuity to the Bights of the
South, and Perpetuity to the Union of
the States."
Wo repeat these recommendations
nowv, strongly and earnestly-and the
moro especially, as rumors have reach
ed us, wvhich we are loth to credit, that
separate State action may meet coun
teniance in a high quarter, if so,
against it, we enter our remonstrance
and priotest. It will sow division and
discord, where all is nmow concert, and
harmony--nay, it will rovo absolutel
suicidal, and work the conmletest nossa
ble discomfiture, and defeat of Southern
hopes, and Southern action.
USEFUL RECEIPTS.--CAMPIIINE FOR
PoLISIrN.-Ladies are very fond of
keeping the door knobs, spoons, plates,
&c. in brilliant order. Now, if instead
of water and chalk, and such prepara
tions, ladies will use camphine and rot
ten stode, a far brighter, quicker, and
more durablp polish can be obtained than
in any other way. Camphine is the ar
ticle used for producing the exquisite
polish on daguerreotype plates, and
nothing has yet been found to equal it.
So says an exchange, and it is, worthy, .
of a trial.
To KEEP A STOVE BRIGHT BY TWO
APPLICATIONS A YEAR.-Make a weak
allum-water, and mix your British Lus
tre with it, perhaps two teaspoons full
to a gill of alum-water; let the stove be
cold, brush it with the mixture, then
take a dry brush and rub the stove till
it is perfectly dry. Should any part,
before polishing, become so dry as to
look gray, moisten it with a wet brush
and proceed as before.
To REMOVE STAINS AND MAARKS
FRO31 EOOKS.-A solution of an oxalic
acid, nitric acid, or tartaric acid, is at- .
tended with the least risk, and may be
applied upon the paper and prints with~
out fear of damage. These acids taking
out the writing ink, and not touching
the printing, can be useiffor restoring
books, where the margins have been
written upon, Without attacking the
text.
To CLEAN OIL PAINT.-Tbe best
thing for cleaning oil paint is a sponge
dipped in ammonia which has been copi
ously diluted with water. Soap dis
solves the turpentine as well as the lin
seed oil, and not only destroys the
smooth and shiny surface, but exposes
also the lead to the infience of the wa
ter and air, and is, therefore, not prac
tical.
An ox's gall will set any color-silk,
cotton or woolen. I have seen the col
ors of calico, which faded at one wash
ing, fixed by it.
A warming-pan full of coals, held
over varnished furniture, will take oi.t
white spots. The place should be rut
bed with flannel while warm.
.An ounce of quicksilver, beat up
with the white of two eggs, and put (n
with a feather, is the cleanest and sur
est bed-bug poison.
Lamps will have a less disagreeable
smell if you dip your wick yarn in
strong hot vinegar and dry it.
Those who make candles will find it
a great improvement to steep the wicks
in lime-water and and saltpctre, and
dry them. The flames is clearer, and
the tallow will not "run."
New iron should be gradually heated
at first. After it has become innured
to the heart, is not as likely to crack.
It is a good plan to put new earth
en-ware into cold water, and then let
it heat gradually, until it boils, then
cool. Brown earthuem-ware in particu
lar, may be touched in this way.
A CURIOUS LOVE-LETTER.
Madamu,: Most unworthy of 'eatiman
tion! after long consideration, and much
mesditation of the reputation you pos
sess in the nation, I have a strong in
clination to beceme yonr relation. On
your aplprobation of this determination,
I shall make preparations to remove
my situation to a more convenient sta
tion, to profess my admiration, and if
such oblation is worthy of observation,
and I can obtain comnmisseration, it will
be an aggrandization beyond all calcu
lation, of the joy and exultation, of
yours,
SANS D)ISSIMULATION.
To MARY MonsERAION.
'THE1 ANSWER.
Sir: I perused your oration, with
much deliberation, and a little conster
nation, at the great infatuation of your
weak imaginatien, to show such venera
tion on so slight a foundation. But af
ter examination, and serious contemp~la
tion, I suppose your animation was the
fruit of recreation, or had sprung from
ostentation to display your education by
an odd enumeration, or rather mnultipli
cation of words of the same termination,
though of great variation, in each ro
spe ctive signification. .
Now without disputation, your labo
rious application to so tedious an .occu
pation, deserves commendation, and
thyinking imitation a suflicient gratifica
tion, I am without hesitation, yours,
*- MARY MODERhATION.
