V Te Market. d -CoTToN.-Tho Cotton market in Char- t lebton was quiet on Saturday lust. Sales i 700 bales at about previous prices. The i transactions were at extremes ranging from c 7 to 10 3-4. Fair quality 10 1-8c. t -Vo feel assured that no apology need be i made to our readers for the space which I we havo devoted in this number to the va rious proceedings of the Convention. No I .subject. connected with our weil.heing as a people, can at this day so fully claim the in lerest of Carolinians as that which his teen deliberated upon by this Convention. It is not a question the ,'eision of whirl will temporarily aiflect the State, which will merely advance or retard her in her coursei of prosperity ; but it is one of liberty, of honor, of existence; for without hherty, auch as we have been nectstome-1 to and as the character of our people entities them tp enjoy, without. that honor which from the beginnng has belonged to Soith 'arolina, of ever naintainin.g the r;ght, oft: posinr the wrong, of being an inferior and a subject to no power, without these what would he e. istence to us? What Carolinian would prize it? And yet, without fault of our own, these worse than dangers seem before us in our path. What was our creature now threatens to be our master. Constituted as the safeguard of our liberties, the General Government is now the chief source of danger to them. Liberty is but the assur ed enjoyment of our rights and one of the highest of these is that of property. It is one of the chief objects for the institution of government, and it requires no political ed ucation to say that that government is worthless which does not secure to its citi zens the possession and enjoyment of what they honestly own, and that that is a despot ism which Lakes it away frotn them, or which, permitting them 'o be nominal own ers, assumes the power of disposing of it. Now what part has South Carolina beet permitted to take in the use. management and disposal of our vast Western posses sions ? To whom did they belong but to the States I but this State has not been permit led to use or manage any part of them ; she has been ridiculed and denounced because sale clainted that she owned a share in them, and the General Government has disposed of them, not only n, ithout consulting her wishes but in drect oppositi-on to those wshes. U1ere its a gigantic spoliation, a roAting from. us of cur property upon a 66t' 404 our own Government. Does it y . ofgvernment, is to be our status in this Union. We are the weaker party; the Northern majority is groxving daily, and with accessions of power, will it become more scrupulous in the use of that power ? But it is degradation enopght for Carolintiants to lbe at the tnerc e c a mnajority to feel that, after all that has beeni takt n from them, t hey owvn more thani a hunm dred millions of dollars worth of slave promp. erty only so long as a Northern anti-slavery majority shall accord themi permission.-. Te North has not yet bent her eniergies to the work she thas set before hier ,she~ is nn decided as yet whether. having restricted is extension, site shall permit slavery to continue and grow w ithiin thiose conitined limits until it shall stifle itself for wanat of room, or wvhether she shall at once legi-late * ~ its extinction.

The right of seccesion has wE tcretotote and in better daye. been regarded att is unqiluest ionatle. by a!i Southern politi- an 1ians with the exception of an inconsidern- by Ile number of consolidaftiomnmt.

ANTATON, (Ogeeclies, Iat- Uiy,1651. 1iy Dear Sir:- hive been appointed Delegate of the Southern Rights Anso. tion of St. Plhilip's and St. bilchfael'd I also of the Indian Land Associaton, of rk District, to the Conventidn to be hold vour city on Monday next; and it was wish and intention to have attended the nvention lit obedience to these calls, but annot do so without neglecting private incess of my Oi o f importance. ,which inits of no delay and which cannot be il accomplished without my personal ention. 'This business, howover pressing 1I importait, should have been superseded thme public call if I could have believed it my attendance at the Convention could of tiny mtnerial importance, but I am ll satisfied that It could not. My general nws of the grievances of the South, and the sulversion of the Constitution of the filed States, are fully known to the blic and will weigh for what they are aih, as effectually as if I were again to clare thein. 'The object of the Convention, mnderstand to be, to declare whether, in opinion of the Convention, South Car nt ought to secede froum the Union alone d1 without the concurrent action of any er States.-My opinion on the propriety the separate action of one Southern at", and articularly of South Carolina, s beenm long known. There is no man in u cotintry who feels mere sensibly than I time .l:mnger, the dishonor, thu infamy of a coidition of the South. No man is tre entirely convinced of the justice, the nstitutional right, and tihe political ex lienc of t he withdrawal of the Southern ates from tIme Uniont by which they are ithralled, and wlich cannot fail, while it bsi.tp, to bring on them further and fu re danger, oppression and infamy. I am ti-fied that history furnishes no examnple such, disreputable submission as that hieh they now exhibit. The phsilosophy of orty is jealousy. The proper action of itriotism is the earlicet posible resistance the slightest encroachment on the ublic r~yhts. 'T'he lovers of liberty snu the inied breeze g4 tyranny in the distant de, indl do int wait for the overwhelming ower of the stormi. But wo tamely en ire the full bllant (of the injuries and in ires andi inisults so profusely Foured upon s.

As a citizen of the South. feel huninted into the very dust. Yet I iml not of opimion, that South Carolina mould secede alone. Nor do I think thus n aecount of thge dangers it may provoke, r the sacriice it may require. No dangers lid no Facritices can he too grcat in such cause. 1it one State of the South can ot stnid alone in the midst of her sister t:itcs. Thrtse States formi one family in iteret, in blood, in feeling, and in endear i'. Sori.d and iaitorical relations and re O~l-tions, and such ties ought not to ie rokei but by dlire necessity. South Car. !in:, I know, has been grossly slandered nd1 vilifled for what no dispassionate mann an s is rash or inwise. She has done io mre thaiiproclaini the Southern %rongs, nil vlo catn deny them, and to express :!esire to unite wih her sister States in '9sist' will be wrong, ey.

Th'le peo'p!e of our Southern sisters are bravy peouple', whmose fathers fought fo~r berty, whoi themelves were born- an I urt.-red iin theC elijoymenit of it, and -who, ere:ore, know the value of it.

Citvu G. A. Trenhol, Esq.. Clarlestn, P1. S.-Since writing the ishove, I h seen it intimated, that this ConventioPnlt. be called upon to act much more than was at first sugge.ted, upon the diffi - cult quesdions between the Sout an.&t i& General Government. If it shall do so; have no doubt the actior. will be pnfortun-. ate. It %ill, among other evil4,'divia tho people of tihe State into two partieor, instah of presenting that unanimity which, now: does it so much credit, and will problablky uider ruture cuntingenciCs, gie it 'niuph strengtih. Tihe great activity and zda 7ior South Carolina, have destroyed h;er iothea1 and political influence. That zeal afidc tivity were not condemnable in theinselvis; but, under at tual circumstances, were *m politic. Ii was slauderously called atibi tion arid a desire to dictate, that exelted the jealousy of other States. Measures, right rn rp -n patriotic, were codesifed,. simply because ihey camc from South Car olina; and every astard .has jnstified his recreancy, under this prejudiced and 'elan derous condemnnation. if South Carolina be wise, she will wait upon bei esit.er State, yet a long whde. Let lier be pre inred to act, but leave other States time to deliberate and determine for theraiselve. Great changes rnust take place in the sen timents of the Southern people,-or history ls a fiction, and the nature of man. has changed. Let South Carolina be prepar ed tojoin other States; but she cannot 'o foremost wit hout injuring hter own and the common cause.
