These -are all-blessings, but upon her by the In telligencer and his Northern supporters and allies, for which she she uld be duly grateful. The true causes of her discon tent, and hostility to the Union, are two l1st, "her climate and the circumstances of 'her' g tgraphical position," and 2d, "re -sentments of thwarted ambition." These are causes which "separate the case of South Carolina from that of the Southern States, which have given evidence of dis. content with their cordition in the Union." -"Climate, and other circunistances.of her garo raphical position," How,, these .have -operated to breed discontent in South Car. olinathe Intelligeneer very wisely declines .to show. He says "it is not necessary :here to state." But is it not" a matter of ,proprielyes well as convenience," when he is makig ont a case of separation of Enuth Carolina from the other Southern Btates, The climate of South Carolina is *the Oe as o(,Georgis, the growth of hVlose triotlsm the Intellignce, cannot weary n praising.

If South Carolina has not been satisfied -with her position amongst her sister States, so tiar as consequence and consideration are cotncernedh,-she muJst be as stupid, or as crazyxas the National Intelligencer would have lier to be. Let the Intelligencer put its finger on .any great .question in our afliirve, frpin-our Revolution to the last dramii'f tile Mexican war, and what cause -hAus dotith Carulina had to be disappointed or ashamed of the part she has played; -Al thongh small in numbers and territory, whlat State tna given to the (inion abler men, or braver soldieyrsi If she is disappointcd. it has not been because she has not coin. mnanded the e-teemn and admnirat ion of ther sistotf States, nor because her glory has not 'been emblazoned in the estblishiment ot the Union. She has quite consideration enough; and the Intelligencer knowys it. H-is' article proves it. Her discontent, he *fears. .It is because lie respects her, (deo. .spito his pretended disparagement,) that lie .aimglea hier out for animnadversion, and mis representation, from the other Southern .States. Her people may not submit to) the .legrading wrong, which has been inflicted .on them in common with the people of the other-Southern States, in being despoiled of their- rights in our territories. Tlhey may redeem their pledge to the world, to resist this wrong "at every hazard and to the last extremity." Hlence his paper -.droad-side against this State. Hence his effhrt to isolate her position, from that of itJhe other Southern States. As to the spoihsaf office-the honors and emoluments or this Governmnt-it is true, ther sons ha ,e enjoyed but few of them. They hwve pursued exaetly that course which must - exclude them from them. All tho office .holders, forthe. ast ten years. under this G3overnnent fram South Carolina in Washington, t1:e Entelligencer may count on thme fingers of one hand.

The wri ter whose 4drde .he qotes, adirras that the people 'of South Carolina have less to do.with-eletions.than in any other State. They do 'not vole for their Governor. They do-not -vote'for -electors for Presideait and Vice President. "The people exercise but fewpohitical'rihts. lence-they are less en. 'lightened on the history-of the country, and know less of the mneasures of the Govern. nient than the peqple of other States." Here aristocracy and ignIorance -of the peo. pie of South 'Carolina are brought forward as causes-ef their -not loving the Union. Universal suffirage has existed in South Carolina, we think, over sinco 1802--long before it was ordained in nine-tenths of the old States, or the births of nine-tenths oft he new-snes. &'ery white lan in the State votes for their members of Conguress, their State 'Legislators, their Sheritffs, Tax Col lectors, l'rothonotaries, and Counissioners and Registers In .Equity. The Gove-rnor, it is true, is still elected by the Legisia tore, and -so are the electors for President and Vice President of the United States. But do n.t the .people.make these officers! Their State Legislators are the electors; and in their State 'elections for their Legis. lators, they tnaketheir choice and give forth their will. They just as etfietunally make their Governor, and choose the President and Vice President-of the United States, as any -other people in the Union. Ii. still adhering to this form of election, they car ry out the universal practice of all the States under tke first organzation of the Government. Were the men who esta blished all our free insittitjonr, aristocrats! Were all the old States ignorant of liberty, and hostile to the rights of the people! If they were not, then let this actusation le taken from their fam, an.J he placed on the brow of him who utters it. Hut the people of South Carolina are ignorant. They do not know the blessings of this Uion, as the Intelligencer and hii: co.laborators have made il; and therefore they are disunionists. We doubt if there is any people in the world, who are so "en light cied on the his tory of the country, and know so much I of the measures of the Government "as tlie people of South Carohna." From la!, t,' 1633, the discussion of their rights, and the theory of our Goverunment, was carried on, not only in the Press, bit by the ablest mit in public debates before the people. The talent of the State was nearly equally divi. ded between the two parties, then contend. ing for mastery; and since this period, a more diligent attention to pughc atrurs has been J~iven by the people of this State, han prorably by any other peop!e in the Union. There members of Congress nave, at the close of every session of Conijfress to give an account to the people. ''hey know the opinions of their public iten, and their con fidence is never withdrawn fron them, un less they go contrary to these opinions. So far from Its being true, that there is less in timato intercourse between the imasses oa her people and those who represent thet, than in any other States-it is because this intimacy exist in the greatest degrre. tha! there is so much unaimitv.j; oaj santai.ves, and their r..p-rsos- ii.c knowv them.

Our kisto. <ry Snl our dtitigy aore.now before. us. The Union has taken away our property, the Union Is proceeding to dertroy u. How then should we regard this Union, what dhould be our course towards it ? Can any causes be more ample for hatred,; can any duty be more plaiq than tat of sevorinr it ' 'It vonit? destroy usi we must destroy it. Now whoare to do this act ? Southern nen, not Southern soil, have been robbed and degraded: and are threatened with dangers,-upon every Southern maii rests the duty -of resenting' those injories and of averting those dangers. No dinty, however general or rniversal,bdt is obligatory upon individuals, and no. man can escape con demnation for the neglect of a duty by the plea that his neighbor has rfot performed it. Shall a man not obey hiu conscience till he sees that others render a similar obedi ence? When therefore both Honor and safety require the dissolutiou of this Union shall the people of.South Carolina do what it is right for them to do, or shall they put it of' until other States shall be willing to do so too? Joshua stood up before the con gregated hosts of Israel and told them that, do as they would, ho and lia house would serve the Lord. Le: every Carolinian reflect that when men are free. when they alone govern themselves, each is responsible for the acts of government ; it will be his glory if those acts are high and noble-his dishonor, his humiliation, if they are unworthy to have been performed by freemen. If South Carolinians shall look at their duty, at what they owe to themselves and to posterity, and not at what is to be done by other people, then our own times may parallel thl Revolution in great deeds ; but if we are to falter in doing right and wait to be enconragdd by others, let us leave the soil that holds the graves of Mour.-rn, of Altn. TON and of SUMTER and go to some region which has no history, no past. The issue is to be met, it cannot be avoided. Hlonor and dishonor are before each individual; each for hinse Ifis to avoid the- orie and pursue the other. A Petition for Compromises with their Consolences. 'With how many and various evil spirits Naind serms possessed. Of ill 'N - th'e friend th ie daring, revotng~ and id phlemma n"'. The llbwing~ forn of psryer is from the Inkepe'rlet, a religious journal published in Newm York. The peculiar sentimemyp with regard to slavery, so common at the~ North, are of course to be attributed to some strange perversion of nmnd which annuls one dutty while it gives undue proportion ao ann ter, which thinks itself acquainted ith the dealings of a mysterious Providence, while it regards butaone pait of-the charaeter of God aind cf his relations to his creaturesi Buat what musa:t be the impions daring, the sacrilegious audacity of the man who can venture into the anagust presentce of Jeho. vah,and address him, with such thoughts in lisk heart, and snch words upon hais lips? Thela evident feeling of the writer is that the haters of htuom-n bondage, are by that suiblime piety, eleratead so immnea-aurabhly above the iniquiitatn shiveholdor, that theyi are placed, as it were, side by side wvitha the great Fountain of Love andh Benevolence, in their 'anperiority to so cruel a crime. WVith lHim, they share one feeling: the de mnunciation b~y one mneets a responase in the breast oh the~ other, and kinidles there a kin alraed inudiganat ion: take it all in ;all, we dont if thierd ever has appeared any comp ositio, mnaking sot cool a pharasaical, seol frighte ous ap~pronha lay man to equality with the Divine Itting, as this under our considera. tion. Now, this was written by a Clergy. man, published apprmvinagly, in a religious journal, and was no doub'. intended especi ally to inftluenco the religious commutnity. WVhait does it signify? Why nothaing, if we regard it as then malignnnt hissings of only aone veoouos repitilec.
