WITHERS, Addressed to the Committee of Invitation of the Co-operation Meeting, held at Vorkuille, S. I"., on the 6th Aug. CAMDEN, 30th July 1851. Gentlemen :-You must prevail upon the people of York District to I excuse mc for declining to appear and address them, as I am invited to do. While employed in the Judicia ry department of their government, I am dedicated to a very exacting I and delicate service, best performed by a careful abstinence from the heat i of partizan bias, and thus giving earn- t est that I seek to maintain the equa- i nimity which warrants a confidence, t on all hands, that I am to do right to r every litigant before mae. This con- c sideration has no manner of affinity to r that pompous pretention that would I place a Judge above the question of c the day, (of the greatest gravity in % my estimation,) or above the people, t with whom he must face it; all ready l todo so (I hope) with courageous t resolution. My notion is, that a true 1: sense of propriety (though it reinfor- I. cos a long cherished disposition) ad- t monishes me to shun any temptation t that might draw me into the vortex J of popular commotion. t In addition to this, my views, up- y on the matter you are about to con- r sider, have been rendered to certain u gentlemen of Greenville; and I sup- i pose the newspaper press has made e3 them accessible to such of my friends l of York as may desire to know what i they are. I yet adhere to them : and t venture to say, that they ought to be t n received as free from guile, whether t wise or not; for (save only their un- t bought good opinion) what can the v people now give me that I could ex- o 1:opt ? Nothing else, I av!er, do I C tiZ+' '1fdi budd 1ing: forth <r Ci the scheme of giving to . i 'r':uo- e lina a separate, isolated nationality, 1 have been an unbeliever in its wisdom : and efficacy. Except two or three c (who seen not to have recruited dis I, ciples of that particular article of t fath,) nobody commends this scheme I of solitude aa a desirable condition in c itself. We are assured, however, T that it must work out the result of g co-operation by other States, inlike ( condition with this, in military opera- s tions, (if the occasion should require t these,) and ultimately in an orgaiz od federation; that to this attitude the issues we shall create will force our colleagues, by the overwheiming stimulus of interest and the bursning t sublimity of pride. Gentlemen, beware of that council which teaches you to rely upon a friendship-to serve you upon the r battle-field, or in council-that is pro- } cured by duress. Beware, when r you perceive that tnose who promiso t at are discarding the admonitions of i the very equals to whom they are in- I tent upon applying the Pharisaical i presumption, that our colleagues, in a common cause, arc new beneath ori behind us in spirit, or in the knowl edge of their own rights and duties.t Beware of those who assure you of the cordial firiendship and co-oper-a tion of neighbors, by rendering their commerce, if need be, the prey of: privateers, plundering under the flag and authority of the Independenti Nation of South Carolina; of that counsel wich, in one breath, lures you by the fascinations of plethoric purses, swollen by the contributions< of smuggling, and in the next scouts< as ignoblo any regard for property or 1 life, when the glories of martyrdom 4 beckon on the State to an illustrious sacrifice. Too long and too often< have some of our people hieretofor'e I given cause or pretext to the South ern States, or some of them, to im pute to us, in matters of comrmon concern, a temper of domineering ar-< rogance. At this cr-isis, when a< mighty common interest is at stake,] when the foe counts as the sandls on on tihe sea-shore, when tho spiit ofi aggression in waxing fier-ce enough to< admonish us all that it must be met. I and can be sucessfully mxet alone by our whole power marshalled in Coin Scerted or-ganiation, let not this small State take 0one doubtful stern forbid den by the advice and judgment of'< her comrades- let hoer not yet as- i sumhe, by wor-d or dee-d, that they aro cravenl, corrtupt:, or stupid; above all,t let her ntot vault into the saddle anid< usurp the whip. Tfho main purpose of thlis Ietter- is o cite your attention to a domest specimen of the forcing process. an is result, now in course of exhibiti iere at home. When the Legislature of this Sta ast assembled, the attention of ti )cople as a mass, had been directe Lone to the combination among tl outhern States aimed at, throun he agency of a Convention at Nas ille. The hope entertained frei hat movement was. 1st, That Coi ;ress, then engaged upon the territ al questions, might be restraint om a threatened spoliation and ii ult to the South, and an infring: vent upon our rights or 2d, failin iat, some concerted measure, loo g to redress and protection, inigl: o commended to the several Statc ggrieved. 'fhe scheme of uncor erted disunion by South Carolin lone, had been entered into but rei cads, though it had taken possessio f some. When the Convention bi as passed, it was assumnedI, that th -mper of the people was up. or coul e raised, to this line of exalted ii -nsity; not.from any evidence, I al rehend, given at the polls in Oct( er, 1850, but probably, from th -stimony of newspapers and result ions of Southern Rights Association: 'he unsatisfactory lethargy though be discovered in the Nashville Cor ention-the disappointment of e, ectation from Georgia- the incipi ent movements in Mississippi, and ot least, the vehement rhetoric u ebate, aggravated by a dlit'erene, etween the two houses, in the firs istance-determined a majority u he Legislature to adopt a singuia casure, which, at one and the sam, me, provided for a representation u uis State in a Southern Congress hSich was courted fur concerted ce peration, and for a Convention t, omsider of tie recommendations o ri a Congr.ss, and alse-"for th ration the ;;m:r! wr/fare of th, tate, in view of her relations to th, ws and go ver~ineit of the Unity, tutes, amI f/wrcennon fo tai:e ca, c~t the (onion,''weath1// of' i,,iIn arrolinaz sladl sufer no dtiruiment. t was further provided, tlhat if no tiled together, by the (Go 'vern or -ior to the next session, in const nence of the action of a Southen 'ongress, "this General Asseinbl Ball, by a majority of votes, fix tb ine for the meeting of the said Cur cation.

But no maitter what pledge w'ere executed or given-I again it uire, what p~roportionm of thme voter f this State have enidorsed then lobody will deny that a meagre in ority only voted at the polls, whielh a many cases, was itself much (div ecd. Did those who remainied a onme, acriuiesce in the dloctriner eparate secession? Why, it is b o means clear that those who carr d the election were in favor of thet nensuro, or are now. A prcs e Levelopemnent is now going on wie ill maniifest, I thiink, that a major of this State are not in the pos ion assigned to them by writers an rators on secession--that in fact the re neither for separate, issolated ii egendence, nor t'or abandoning th ic steady purpose of working out, by Et adequate and practicable means, the n salvation of our institutions. I re member that, pending the election in to Charleston, a paper of that city ac e counted on Tuesday morning for the d meagre vote of Monday, by reasons o of the torrents from the clouds on u that day-but predicted that the a- bright sky of Tuesday would multipy n them amply. The prediction faile 3. It was forthwith announced that so - littlc division of opinion prevailed d in Charleston that there was nothing 1 to arouse the mass. llow stands the matter now, in that quarter? g Certain writers and orators depre c cate these developments, and charge it upon such meetings as you have in s view the sin of dividing this people - into parties, It is my purPose to in a quire, if this be an iniquity; and if v So, who is responsible for it. n Surely we may affirm, that the LI members of the Convention are not e averse to an accurate exposition of Li the true sentiments and wishes of the p 'ublic. That, above all things, they need; and they did not derive it from the polls, in February last, unless it e be in the emptiest, most technical - and uncertain sense. Who, then, complained and prayed, that there be t ,no Strie, no division among us? Are they not those who contrived a Con veltion, after the mature wisdom of Cheves and .Uarnwell, had strongly admonished against it, and after it f had been once defeated in the Repre S Citatives house, and who ordained t the election in hot haste? Are they f not those who contrived and managed r" a demonstration in May last, in c Charleston, w hich was intended to ' supply the deficiences of that clec tiun; to give a favorite interpretation to the rotuid language of the Coni vention bill-to the ineaningv of' 'ge f neral welfare' and the ini u:etion ", t ik ; care tl,,at thlis Co'niruan >ge;sth nt h e a:. 1. of a mmino: _1Con. n'Citioii in avor of' a seie..e hereto . f re h idden f1om the gener:al Ipulie; to sul l.1y (it was lupd) substance b-ne, inusele, arteries-to the tr tihat Ihal been I rsemnted by the t eeetio.n of Fe!,riuarv' Ilave t, n 4, then, created the neccess-ity upoll those who do not concur in tleir e"m mentaries upon 1angunage, in their expo'sitiun of a fact, in their plan of statesinentship ir 1 olicy, either to ae - goesee in all, while they do tut ai prove or to sneak out adverselv.' 1 Iit asked why you dil not speak at the -loll, when yutI had the cppor tuit'' The iuelstiol canl he an f swered, and it cant be shown.

Tb strongest words, that could be obt iued, wore extracted from those whi were set up for can didates and wmnted ;to be elected. The election, hus conducted, being finished, a loud shout proceeds from an unanimous i and a co-opCrating press, that Souh Carolina had now resolved and qvrpointed her agents accordingly, to take that separate station among her co-States 'and the rest of mankinic,' to which God and nature had enti'led her-that others igiht imitate or uot, as they pleased. Even this, the great mass of the people, began to hear only when the echo was canght up and reverberated by a self-constituted Convention in Charleston. Ilaying resol-ed on ro such thing, but intent only on what they had learned of the }olicy recommended by the Nashville Convention and in the speech there delivered by Mr. Cheves (endorsed by our own Sen. ate,) how could .t be otherwise, than that the people, when roused to look around them, whoi for the first time brought to the kiowledge of what has been done and what is designed (all said to be ratific under their name awd authority,) when facetiously told that no body drcamed of separate secession before the Convention meets-should take the liberty of defining their own - p.sition, an(d declaring that they stand, as yet, where they stood Ibefore, upon the lilatlorm of the Nashville Convention? If discussion at home comes of this, and that dissention be disastrous-to whom will the disaster come?

From the Charlheton Evening News. . The Rutledge Pamphlet.. Since the discussion of the various schemes propounded for raising revenue n case of separ#ste secession, mere out.. lines have been presented of the State finance. No analysis has been present ed of the results, under one or another of the system of imposts suggested, which may operate upon our peculiar powers of production or capacity of consumption. It seems not to have. been imagined that a change in the . tablished system of taxation involves -a change in the, distribution of capital, greater or less, according to the extent and character of the change. To sug gest the substitution of a scheme of re venue which professes to raise four mil lions of dollars on 812,000,000 of im ports, for another scheme in actual ope ration, which, from the same source is derived only 8500,000 annually, is of itself sufficiently startling, and, if prac ticable, 'would be attended by conse luences not foreseen by the suggestors. We say practicable, for if Rutledge's plan could .he adopted, of i.gposing a fluty of 30 per cent on all the imports consumed in South Carolina, it would e accompanied by so large an eiigra tion of capital as soon to leave in the State few resources o' taxation. The expectation would result in sore disap. pointment, that a new burden like this would find its equivalent in what could be saved by discarding the United States taritT, and engrossing all North ern geins made out of exports and im ports, in the form of freights, merca tile profits, &o. Let us then take Rutledge's estimate :f the amount of revenue which he leems adequate to the new position that e wishes South Carolina to occupy, as at all meriting examination, It is on n large scale of reduction from several budgets we have seen. We shall de rmonstrato we think, that it would be productive of an amount of revenue incounensurate to the';sacrifices it wouldelquire.

Before, however, wo do this let us make a few prelimina ry remarks in relation to the commerce between South Caroiinn and the other Stales, for a clearcr understanding of lie subject than seems generally preva ent. We have estimated that South .aralina consumes annually a value in oreign commodities of about 2,500,000, mt of an aggregate import of about ill,000,000. The domestic import is onsequmently between eight and nine nillions of dollars. ''lho largest value taken from South arolina for this great mass of imports issumes an indirect form. It is com sited that 500,000 bales of our cotton ire consumed by Northern manufactu. -ers, which go direct, but at least two. birds of our domestic imports are paid or in Exchange drawn against funds laced in northern cities by the sale of mutr agricultural staple to third parties. A very large portion of these payments s thus lhquidated by drafis, and a very small share by specie, except for live ustok ismight lbe the case if wve had riot, as meanis of paiymn't a commer ::ial equivalent in universal request. 'Tle pamet direct in Cotton, Rice, anti L~umber cannot exceedl $2,000,000 annually. It would thus appear that he imdirect trade, amounting to about 90l,000,000, supplijes this amount of tIrauft , from the premium on wvhich as we before obser ved, the banks largely increase dhe dividends for their stock hioI4rs; tidsift this supply of funds Iurnfa~hes gteat facilities to domestic mpor ters, indirectly aiding the sale of >ur principal stiaples. South Carolina thus pays for the Corn of Virginia and Nort h Cai rolina, the Flour of Maryland, the Hacon and Lard-of the Western, and the manufacturts of' the Eastern States, which she finds It mqre: proita blo to import than to produce' hia detaniled explaration is..unncessary to lhose who livo within the circeo of commnercial transactions, but there is much misconception abroad. inirelation to the presumed loss on odifside and the profit on the other by the indirect interohange of Southern for Norther9 products, which it becomes necessary to' correct.
