I find ehain questions propounded to ine as the nPresident of the Southern Rights Associa tion for Claremont, which I think ;t proper - or the to respond to. The writer, whose 'piqee, not purporting to be a conmunica "to'" and appearing under the editorial Jead, I presume to be the editor, expresses 'for myself sentiments of respect and os teem, for which I make to him ny acknowl edgmente, and assure him that to me one of the most painful incidents of an excited political contest, is its tendency to alienate ,fqelngs of good will and friendship, and -to distrust and suspicion as to the honesty .-and purity of purpose of the opposing par" ties. I assure my friend of the Banner, ,that I am quite ready to account to the ublic for my conduct as President of the onthorn Rights Association, and to an " swer all proper questions relating thereto, simply and honestly, and that a series of :arose questions such as are resorted to, to extort the truth front a reluctant or sits * lecting witness, was not necessary to draw t fromt me, and certainly shall not betray me to say any thing n ich my own sense f-.propriety may not approve. Before 1 do so, however, will he permit ine to say a few .Wrls pn the cl)arIcter 0I the inquii ftor Which I am called upon to ciodergo. pnd the extraordinary conditions as they - appear to me, on which alote,it is anmiouced ntae co-operationists will agree to meet *eir opponents in free discussion.

I relation to this charge, and as proof of i jusiico, you ask, "why is it that Messrs. i'neves, Barnwell and Withers arc' the only., persons named as invited and expected. to address the, meeting.- Was it not well known that these gentlemen would not attend, and were not their nnties inserted as a mere blind?" I have not the card an nouncing the meeting before me, and from my own memory would not undertake to say whether tit"se are the only gentlemen named. I ti!% it for granted it is as you any; but it not named, there were others, as clearly designated as if namned, to wit. out Senators and Representatives in Congress, (a majority of whom are known to be co-operation men,) all the gen. tknmen who have been nominated as canl. didates for the Southern Congress (both sides,) the gentlemen named, and in all forty distinguished men from different partse of the State-equal numbers from bo h parties-all of whom were invited, and if they had attended, it was impossible that the co-operation party could have been more strongly represented. That all who were invited would'attend, certainly, was expected; but as certainly, it was not expected that not one cf that party from abroad would come. Why, it was so, we cannot account. Those who have ack nowledged their invitations, do justice to the courtesy, etc., extended to them. But where do you find that the gentlemen named by you were the only ones of your party expected to address the neeting! Certainly not in the published card. It is unfortunate that you had not more carefully ascertained the facts, beforo you made them the ground of so serious a charge. I will tpow endeavor to give 40 account of my stewardship as President of the Southere Rights Association for Claremont. The first question put to me is, why the Association has not been called together since May last! I will endeavor to answer this question as fully as is necessary. "anl without evasion.', 'The Southern 'Rights Association is an organization intended for the defence of Southern I tghts. framed on general priiciples in which the State rig his men of both our present parties profess to, and I bel.eve do concur, and of which almost every tan in the country is a member. It is therefore ao bond of union which, although inot strong enough to prevent its members froin breaking into parties, nay hereafter help to bring themt togetlter agatin. It is imlonssible to foresee with certainty what is in the future, and upon what ground we nav not be driven by events which are presing upon us, inl defence of our ri::hts. I therefore think that thou;;h at this tine, powerless of good, because ii it were to attempt to act, it. would iinediately be takcn possession of by the strongest party as a party engine, and all the dissentients would innnediaetcly withdraw from it, yet it is worth preserving as a ground on which the trie hearted yf both parties may her eaftvr be geld to rally. Those tmemttbers who attended the last meeting ~a ll remeinber the deep excite ment, and alutost hostile collisiun which s.trung up in the discussion of the principal natter then under debate. It wvas'-nanifest that the two piresenlt partiesi occasion on .siichit~ter involving the grounds of difference between them should be brought into discussion, there woulId be a rupiture; the stronger, wieblever it mi ghit be, taking thle naite, and the others wath. drawing. TI'ins, so far as it depends on tme, for the rea.sonts a lready given, I wonhId avoid; andti it is thle reason anil not anyt supposed orders fronm thle Cenitrail Com-i, miittee, why I bave not ca ll the~ Asso ciation togethle r. If t here is a ny good endl to lie attainted by callinig the A\snw ciationi together undtier present ~tuenmt. stainces, it inay be done with or w ithout my conenmrrence--I hoipe however, it ttm~y be meC, Si) far as they are uno~ti-i me. -. I furthier atniwer TIhat in fact, I have received no circular that I have any recollect ion of, frotin the Central Committee. It is trtue that I saw a circular, dated .\ay 20thi, wvhich was shown to tme by a gentlenian tnow acting with the co-operation pary-andc which since yottr call, has beena puit inito my hands by another genttleman .vitht authority to use it--As that circular contains all that I have seent from the Central Commitittee, or any organi of the see 'ssiont party, which could possibly give colotur, to the ch:srge against then, that. they desired tio stifle discussion, I have transcritbe all that it cobntaints on that subject, aind ask you as ant act of justice to pu~lihtl it. "Inm the nmeeting lately held in Charles ton, wyhile entire unanimnity purevailedl as to the great object of vindicating our rights by adopting the mtost effectual nmeanres of re sistance, there was sorme dliversity of Opin ion as to thte questioni, what mxode'of resist. ance will be miost ofretuial. 'The vast. mnajority of the dlelegates who composed the meeting concurred in the~ propriety and necessity of those resolutIons with regard to the policy of the State wvhich wvere adopted. A minority, highly respectablo for intel. ligenco arnd deyotion .to the comtmon cause, regarded the action of the meeting as im prudent and impolitic. Butt happily this diflerence of opinion was not perini ted to et.1t estyranmgemient of feelhng; anid there is now' every reason to hope, that thte sons of South Carolina wIll move forward in do fence of their rights with an unbroken front and uinexamnpled unanimity. *To effect this great object thte utnmost re spect should ho sthown, and -the most, con ciliatory conduct adopted on thte part of the majority towards the miniority of the great resistamncoparty'of the State.

I should have been much gratified to minngle my counsol, humble though I know them to be, with the noble spirits who will meet you on that: ;ccsion, as al s to'have made the persotinal acluintance of any follow citizens of the wealthy. and populous District of Sumnter. I concur faiy in the objects ind purpo. ses of your meeting and hope Itv ill ac-" complist much rood in illustrrating the true character of the contoet now waxing so hot in South Carolina. The painful solici tude which I h;rve felt fur the position of our common mother has been greatly muiti gated by the accumulating evidence that the people have taken at lnat the iniestion of Separate State Action into considerationr and I verily believe they will prevail in spite of the effrt1s of a pm rtisan press and save the S:ate from the miscarriages inci dent to a separate nationality. Tm'! extra ordinary action of the Charleston Conven tion in May last precipitated a d.vsou in South Carolina wt hich perchance might have beens avoided. The Co-operationists n ert" t,'u al.owcd to stand upon the plat i address and resolutions of ' a ithout sacrificing their the ,t ringest dic:ates of Anxious ore to pre er to harms'n;y this requin u. nch for t hat great end. W e ' eeedionists upon that vhich. every resist l!re main n he state could occupy with out involving any .-cr.tico of principle, and were wil'ing to tri-t the. whole matter to the judgment, wisd.,.. mit discretion of the State Convention e." v. 'en it assembled, if no efUirts shoulh + "' aont there or else where to influence '- esien unduly. The Secessionists ju-; from their ac. tions thought it to he .,.. ,table that the State should be irrevo i '!edged to sep. erate action as far as toe gaid. and there. by inanufactire a Btit o ublic opinion in the State in fat or of l bie. dicy, which so far from h uving been .:ed upon by the people in the electio. ..It- Delegates, twas never tiscusod be '!..mn.
