.The Churubisco Celebration.
Who Chester Standard makes the follnw
ing su estion, which we thinks needs
only to made to be acceded to:
"We waould take tho liberty of suggesting
to the Directors of the Railroads in this
State th'e propriety of tendering a free pas.
sage to .thoa members of the Pahiteuto
Regiment who may desire to attend the
meeting at Columbia on the 20th August.
Such a privilege iwould donbtless induce a
very general attendance, and be no inier,n
iderable incentive to the carrying out o;1
their part of the ptaiseworthv purpose they
have in view. In that. purpose the thole
tate is intereited. It is in no degree pri
vate in its character. We trust onr breth
ton of the prtss will repeat the suggestio.
Co-Operation and its. rsnilts.
Co-operationists have hitherto dif'ered
widely in their views and wishes, andl we
have thought it proper, in discnssing the
subject, to distinguish between their vari
6us positions. We leave out of view al
together those who style themselves such,
but who are in fact willing to sunnit to Fe
detai aggressions', becatihe they have as
sumed a name that is not theirs.
Some Co-operationists have desired post
ponement of any definite action by our
selves, until it should be ascertained wheth
er the other Southern States would resist;
but their keen sense of the degraded post
tion which South Carolina would occupy,
if she were to continue in the Union, of
the dangers to her rights and institutions,
and, more than all, to her spirit of freedom,
would urge them when all reasonable hope
of Co-operation should fail, to peril all for
th h rof their State. They would
I e having fmgotten the
druggleof '70, and th'e ptinciples of our
freexistelee ever since, if they could for
a i moment balance a falie'ee-curity, fur a
fiew ydarsj of theit rights 6f personm and
property, wvbile they were at the samet ime
fyrannizedl over politically, thrust out,
though members of a republic, from all
control of that republice or even of their
* own peculiar initerest, atnd tornmentcd con
tinually by snecers and objurgations,
igninst a manly assertion of, anda struggle
for their rights and honor, their liberty and
independence. They only style thtemnselves
Co-operationists because they believe that
Co-operation can be efi'ected.
There are others who believe that past
issues will not unite the South, bitt that
the Fanatics at the North will speeddly
make aggressions which will have that ei
fect, and, with the same tulterior news of
resistance as the first class, they deem it
wise to wait for these aggressions, that the
accutnulated wrongs thus inflicted mar tnot
duly unite the South ini repeliing themi, b~ut
throw closer 'bonads of uniotn around it af
t'erwards. 'rThe true spirit of liberty tburnis
brightly in their breasts also, but the of.
fects of their polkey, would we fear, be
hazardone to those rightsi they are deter.
mined to protect.
Now the events of a twelve month, will,
we thitnk, unite that class of the Co-opera.
tiordats, which we ha.ve first itinzed,
With the Secessiotni-ss- Twelve tuonths
will stilice to itidicate the course of the
other States. If that course be backward
that class must, as a resistantce party, jomt
the Secessionists, atid, Ont the othier handg~,
if' the developmtents in the other States aru
favorable to Southern Rights, they wi
show, we think, that Co-o;.erato in mtain.
ttaiig those rights will depend~ on the sep
avate action of South Carolina.
'T.he second class referred to we would
a-sk to ponder over the doclarations already
niadlo by the leaders of the anti-slavery
party : that the coanpromniso measures, in
themselves fatal to the perpietuity of slave
ry, combined with the various inftluences
ntow and for mauny years past at work
amongst us, will in a fewv years, fifty at far.
thest, render our slaves unprofitatlo, in
subordinate, uncot.trollable; will force
mastegs either to run away from their
slaves, or to dlrivye their slaves oil' first. Will
then abolitiontists huazard their triumph, thuts
secure though postponed, by making ag
gressions which will unite the South ? \Vo
cannot believe it. They ini ell'ect, say so
thtemselves.
There is a third class, who, on the
ground that tho interests of the Sotuthern
Sttsare identical, wvoteld link their desti
niles together, would resist only when the
others should resist, would aequiesce in all
t19 others should submit to. Now we wvould
nbt impute to the other States a wvant of
love of liberty, of determination to main
ttin their righ),s, when we express the fear

Doees the action taken upon fr.

It is but seldom, and only at ttngs when
matters of great and general importance
were to be considered, that we have seen

Capt. Stockton briefly addressed the
meeting. He said that they had assem
bled there to hear read the Declaration of
Independence made at Puerto Principe on
the Fourth of July, and signed by two hun
dred patriots, who were battling for the
freedom of their country.
Jndge Walker then read the declaration
of Cuban independence. which was listen
ed to throughout with profound "attention.
and on being called for, the Ju deliver
ed a brief but eloquent address.
Judge Walker, at the close of his ad
dress, offered the following resolntions:
Resolred, That we greet with joy and
enthusiam the recent intelligence from the
Island of Cuba as indicative of the heroic
resolution and devotion of that people, and
of their purporn to make every sacrifice to
achieve their idependence.
Resolred, That the lubans having giv
en an earnest of their sincerity and con
stancy in the struggle for liberty, it is our
duty, as brother republicans and men, to
aid by all means in our power their efforts,
until they shall he crowned with success.
Restred, That a commij, r ten be

speedily as possible.
The President put the question on the
adoption of these resolutions, and a unani
mous aye pea'ed from the assembled mul
titude. He said there was no necessity in
calling for the navp, for he knew there was
no mai among them who would say nay.
The following named gentlemen were

Genl. F. Houston was next called for,
and spoke for nearly an hour. lie con
ciuded by asking three cheers for Cuba!
which were given long and loud.
At Ihe close of Gen. Houston's speech.
Gen. Lopez appeared on the stand and was
received by cheers perfectly electrifying,
which were continued for several minutes,
amrid the waving of hats and handkerchiefs.
lie spoke as follows in Spanish, which
was translated to the mbectiug by Mr. Big-z
tur:
lthough I would wis' to ardress you
ught on the affhirs of Cutlkn'e iher
Irelatimns with the United States 1 amt yet
compelled to restrain my earnest desire by
the know led,.e that my words cannot flow
directly from my lips to your glorious
hearts.
it is now publicly knowun that the patriots
of Cuba have struck the first blow in be
half of independence-that they have rais
ed their own arms in their own cause-vet
nto nne that knows not their helpless con
dition, and the terrible tyranny under
wvhich they styer, can form an estimate of
thie hero ismi of the effort wvhich they have
madle. For my part, I can say that, having
myself e urly endeavored to sow the germ
of liberty in thie hearts of the Cuban people,
I can apprecia'e the magnitude of the
responsibitiy ithey have assumed, and of
the obstacles they :nust overcome, in order
to achieve succ:ess. I know that they
hwve looked to you, the noble American
people, the pio neors in the caur-e of huan
freedotn, for isympathy and aid in the cause
they were about to undertake.
The~y knew not your laws ; they were
ignloratnt of treaties ;but in the confidence
or their hiearts they drew the sword, be
lievinig thai you, whlo hadl pointed the wvay,
could not forsake thomn when they- had fo I
lowed ini your footsteps. T ey knew not
that there wvas any prohihition to your ex
tenditng the assirtance wvhicht your exam
ple had given them a right to expect ; and
ihey wtere~ conscious that there wvas a per
vadling. principle in the human hosom wvhich
prompts uniiversal sympathy for a sufyering;
peonte, strugrl ing~ with ant oppressor.
But in this enthusia,tic assemblage, I see be
fo're my eyes the evidecnce that the hopes of the
Cub~ans w're not, unifoiinded. and that you wilt
not suff-r tihem long to ianiguiih beneath the ty.
ranny of Sirain.
lin conciunion, gentlemon, I thank ., 'u 4rr
your kuind reception to myuelf, and for the en
thiussantic fehing which you m.nifeut towards
m ppeedcountry.

latter gnilemoan finally came aorwar, and ad.
drea'ed the meetiniL' after which a motion to
adjourn was put and carvied.

the Eagle's account that bnth gentlemen
had agreed to refrain from all personalitie5

Thereupon Geni. Foote called him "a liar."

entire audience rose and greeted him witle
thrme cheers.
Air. Rhett then addressed the meeting.
and for an hour and a half enchained its
attention by an argument of surpassing
ability, sketching with a master hand the
evils and oppressions of our present sys

sistably and indisputablythat the only reme.

marks were frequently interrupted by the
enthusiastic plaudits of the audience.
Air. W. G. Desaussure being loudly
called on, respoided in some very eloquent
and effective remarks.
ir. B. IL. Carroll, at the call of the
meeting, vindicated himself against the
charge of unwarrantable interference with
the proceedings of the co-operation meet

withstandinL' the lateness of the hour,
with great attention, and produced a most
favorable imnpression upon the audience.

State Military Academr.
At a meeting of the Cadets of the Mill..
tary Academy held on the 30th July,on
motion of Cadet Cottrell, tie meeting was
orgar ized by Cadet J. P1. Thoman being
called to the Chair, and Cadets M'Cammen
and Martin being reqested to act as Seee..
taries. Upon taking the chair,. Mr. Thomas,.
explained the object of the meeting, in the
following eloquent -ind appropriate re
marks:
Getlemen of the Corps of Cacits : Al
low me to express my appreciation of the
high honor which you have conferre, in.
soliciting me to preside over your meetin,.
and, also, to tender you mi heartfelt thanks
for such an evidence of your favor and es
teem. Under any circumstances it woult
be inpossible fur ine to occupy this posi
tion without emotions of pride and gratifi
cation; but in view of the object for which
we are nasembled those emotions have
been rendered unusually intense.
As the representat ve, in part, of Caroli.
na's martini spirit; as a portion of her son;
peculiarly and greatly indebted to her, it
becomes us to give ex;ression to the feel-.
ings that we entertain towards her, and an
earnest of fidelity in this her trying hour.-,
As Cadets of her Military Academy, it
might appear that we are already sufficient
ly pledged; but regarding the momentous
crisis in which she is now involved it
seemse to me that a full and opougleclara.i
lion of attachiment should bet hear4
f rom all--from the young as wvell as the olde
it isi for such a purpose that you have been6
called together, and I(do not for a moment
doubt that your voice wilt be heard in tones
manly and patriotic.
It has not binen long since a party ha.
been frmied against nimnediate seceseton
a party wvhose tendency is ultimately to
force our State from hecr noble position,
atid to drag her down into co-operative sub.
mission. Against an end so deplorable,
degrading and destructive, let us raise our
humble bunt sincere voice. Le~t it be avow
ed that we deploringly hold up our hands
against tihe defacemnent oh our State es
cutcheon. Let it be known that the spirit
of our forefahers-of the Cavalier and
Huguenot--is not yet dead within us, btt
that it still lhves, and nowv, as formerly,
strives to e~'Jhibit itself in action against op.
pression-im acion for freedom--in action
for the honor and welfare of Carolina.
Cadet J. P. Cottrell then rose, and offer.
ed the following preamnble and resolution,
which lhe prelacedl with a few remarks in
reference to the posinion of the State, which
were received with enthusiastic applause:
Whereas, a poniod hits arrived am the his
tory ot our beloved State, at which her sons
are called upon to sustamn her in the asser
tion iand miaintenance 01 these rights which
were guaraentied to her at the formation of
thme Federal Comipact. And, whereas, in
all probability, South-Carohina wall, at first
be alone in taking cifective measures to be
comio dienthratied fromt the oppressive
coninections in which ashe is nowv held with
States boatile in feelinag and interest, we,
the Studlents of the State Military Acade
may, deemi it not inappropriate that we
should declare our sentunents in reference
to the crisis which we befievo is at hxand.
Therefore,
1. Resoii ed, That whilst we disclaim alf
intention of piresumning to counisel the peo.
ple of thme State, as to the measures pro
per to be adopted in redressing the wrongs
which have been inflicted upon us, Vd
earnestly hope that those who are to decide'
the question, willI not recede from the posir
tion of separate State seceasn.
2. Resolred, That owving allegiance td'
the Geinerat Governimenit onuly through the'
State of South Carolina, we areaboed
from that allegiance, (lie moment she do
termmnes to learnm the Confedecracy.
3. Resolved, That we are prepared to'
ofler up all wve have and are, upon the alta'
of liberty, whenever thie hour for actiotr
comiies, and that we will look ith feelings'
of the deepest imort tication upon any act of
oiur State that may be inlluenced by a dread
of conisequiences.
The preamblo andi Resolutions were
eloquently and warmly advocated by Cadets
Veitch, E. J. Walker, and Coldmng.
On imoton, the voto was tiken on each'
resolution separately and passed with only'
three dissenting voices against the first red
tolutionm, and ono againist (lie third.
A nmotion wtas then imde andh unanimuoua.
ly carried (fhat tihe proceedlmgs ofl(lie meet..
ing be pubbnhshed~ in thie city papers, and
that the othier papers of thme State, :cih the
exeptionr of the Grheenc illu P'atriot, be res
