In theory, our's is at government of the people,I and they have generally. since its establishment, been accustonied to I rule. Jut recent events demonstrate that a great and fearful change in this respect is likely to be effected. The theory still exists in all of its original beauty, but, in fact, the power of the people is rapidly be ing usm-ped by irresponsible political cliques; and utless the recuperative energy of a too dormant patriotisn is speemlily aroused to thc vindication of popular rights, the last vestige of our boasted freedom will have dis appeared forever. The truth of these remarks iight be illustrated in many ways, but by none more for cibly than inl a review of the history of a certain political association, falsely denominated "a convention of the people," that is to assemble in Columbia on the fourth Monday in April noxt. We say political asso ciation, and Cn apply to it no higher engnomen-nay more, it is not only a political, but a partizan association -hngatten by a party, brought forth by a party, uitrtured, reared up, developed and invested with the ensigns of power alone by a party. It cannot, with any i ropriety, be termed a convention of the people. It was never demanded by them. It was not called b them-the dele gates were not elected by them- the time for its meeting was not fixed by people ainl against their will, unI der the secret management of certain political wire pullers. All the people have had to do with it; from the comencement to the last .ct of the drama, was to set tie seal ofi their condemnation upon it on the second Mondav of October last. This they, did in a manner not to be mis understood, but the political man ai-ers have determined, it would seem. that the people shall no longer rule. The convention is to meet in opposition to their will-over the ruins of a violated constitution -destitute of all legitimate au thority, legal or moiral, to do any single act of binding eiliacy- pow erless, therefore, for good, and per Chance fruitfil in evil -indicatiig, but too clearly, that what was, in the judg'ment of the peoplO, begun in farce, may end1. inl deep laid tragedy. Things standing with us in this condition, it behooves thle mans ses to arouse themselves from the prevailing 'ethary, and look a round ail see whether there be any means whereby the political wire pullers, who are "struttinig their I day upon the stage," may be divested of the fearftil power they have us urped, and the peoplo reinsMtated in their ancient rights. TIhe Convention is to meet, for what purpose is a matter of profound mystery. Neither the &ecession C ~aucus, which determined to as semnble it, nor the Secession ma 'jority in the Legislature, which fixed the tiare of its meeting, ven tured to utter in the Ulih of dlay one word, in explanation of the objects of its call. And since that time, in obedience, it is supposed, to orders from head quarter-s, disseminated in the 8eeret Circular- heretofor-e pub-I lished and conmmented on, the Se ceasion prss and Secession o ator-s, have been silent as death on, the subject of Feder-al wrongs, and State r-emedies. This silence has, as it was doubtless intended -to do, prodluced a culpable indifference to their own inter-est, on the part of~ our whole p~eople~, and whilst they' are in dulging in ''a little morec sleep, and a little mor-e slumber," the match, is in all probability being pr-epared, in 8ecret, that is to set off the mnag azine hidden beneath their- highest in tteets, as a people. A largeo ma jority of the Convention elect, is in favor- of the sep arate &ecessionu of the State, from her Southern sis ters-a l arge majority of the ex isting Legislature, and thme Executive depan-ment of the Government, is of the same political faith, and with these ad vantages in possession, and a set (of ruling spirits at the hielm, i-en der-ed so desperate by defeat, as to deliberately nornetrate the se.,. enough from wiilat have seen in the Inst few yea'r, hirt 'i no State can this be rlieon.e.And yet, as intervention is one ef the most ti gravating and adequate causes of war that can nrisi.we "find the na tions of the ivorldtiUrought by their own progress 'invi4lisation to a lia. bility of war, for 0ilthere is no remedy.

Anohtca-er Anuait upon ithe Nou1h. The Washington correspondent of tie Baltimore Sun, explaining Sena tor James' project for revisiting the i'ariffof '46, says: He proposes simply to discriminate between high priced and low priced articles entering into general con mumption. Tlic duty on the high priced articles is to be increased, and that on the low priced articles is to 1)e diminished. BY this means the beaviest burthon Nill fall on the rich -the consumers of the costly arti. :les; while the tax on the poor-the sonsumer-s of thme low priced article, wvill be essentially- reduced. Now this sounds very plausible - to dimnish the duty upon articles eonsumned 'a the p)or, and to in areaso tho taxes of the rich. But this pretence is utterly hmollow, and has no sor-t of connection with Sena tor James' real object. TIhe facto ries of the South manufacture "low priced articles" at so small a cost that they have almost monopolized the manufacture of the coarser cottons, confining the North to the finier and more costly fabrics. Now Senator James' project proposes to diminish the protection to Southern factories, arnd to increase the protection to Northern factories. This is what it is in substance, and what it is intend ed to be. We have no objection to a general dhecrease of duties, but we arec opposedl to such a dlecrease as wvill benefit the North and injuire the Southm-P1etersburg .Democrat. Sro-rs COUNT. -A Djetroit paper is responsible fori the following: "Careless T- bonght a gallon of Otard at IBrady's to take home, and by way of' a label wrote his nmame upon a card, which happened to be the seCven of' clubs, and tiedl it in the handle. Alderman C. comning along and obserbing the jagr, remarked, "That's un awful careless way to leave that liquor." "WVhy so?" said TIom. "Why ? Because somebody might como along with eight ptadak itPt n tk Circular of instructiohs, there is; to knowing to-whatextreMity the State may be suddenly precipitated. One of the ondits is, that the:Con veition, when' it meets, 'is to pass-an ordinance of secession t' take effect in future, and cull upon - the people to sustain it, denouncing all who re. fuse to do so as traitois, and sub jectinig them as far es possible -to the traitors doon. Another of the ondits is, that tho convention upon its meeting will sin ply organize, and after arranging their plans for the political. camnOgn of October next, adjourn over till after the election for nmebers of the Legislature, when they will re-ls semble and secede, or resort to such other action as the complixion of that body many justify. This is the more probable plan, but either will involve the State in incalculable misfoi-tune. There is no doubt, we apprehend, but each of these plans has its advocates, and whilst discussing their respective merits, the authors of the secret Circuilar, are iither too ignorant to plan, nor too timid to execute a Coup d'etat, a la Louis Na poleon, in a variety of other ways. It is time, therefore, if the people prize the liberty they have inherited from their fathers, that they should demand an explaniation of all thee things. They have been led iblind fblted long enough, and the purposes of their rulers should be spread be fore them in the light of day before it is too late. It is time the seces si on press and secession orators who coalesce with, and are in the ?ecrets of the powers that be, should explain the objects for which the convention is to meet. And if this be not done yolunttarily at an-early day, -the high est interest of the people demandm I that they should call upon their dele gates elect to the convention for a distinct avowal of individual sen tilnent, with a pledge either to rep resent them truly. or resiqn. the power accidently and unwittingly conferred upon thein by a lean min ority of the people. If the people intend to riule as of yore, they must look to their own interest 'now. -Southern 1ights Atdeocate. T-ae Htuang- ti-an Bond The arts of modern civilization, and the chat acter of modern war, have rendered the whole system of international rights and duties mate ially independent of the laws and treac-s herotofore resorted to for its regulation3. It is well settled that tihe citizens or snbjects of neutral na tions have no right to assist, by mili tary expeditions or by munitions of war-, those who are engaged in con. fliet, or to disturb, by such rams, the existing institutions or govern ment of other States. An-1, we think, it is generally the duty of both goverinen t and people in one State, to abstain from any sort of interfer ance with the afiairs of another. But the time has arrived when statute laws no longer- have powecr to enfor-ce this duty. 'The fireedom of the pr!ess in one State, in Englanid, for instance may be more danger-ous to tl.e tr-an rquility of France or- Russia, tuan a license to lit out ar-med ex:'editions to trevolutionize them. But there is an agent still morec subtle and uncontr-ollable than the press i- odern- warfare, and that is money.- And the use of this, for- thme purpose of interfe-ringr in thme ailhirs others, hazs ner:, we believe, en countered a rohibitory enact ment. W~hen thme Emperor of Austria was engaged by his armies in r-educing Ilunmgar-y to submission, andh when the Eumpero r of Rumsssia was hclpminm him, both of them could send thieia agents publicly into the money mnai-k etof Einglanid or any other countryv, for loans, and .ther-o wvas no law to forbid them, Well, if they can do so, of conr-se Ilungar-y can do the sa-ue thing, anid heneo it r-esults that the most prtantical and formniable in tervention is beyond the r-each of law. For- a lar-go loan to Ilunigar-y would unqjuestionablo have been of more service to her in the late str-u gle, than the aid of thirty thousand1 omen fr-om another State. And even if a law existed to parohibit such loanis, it could not be enforced. Sneh then being thme case that ther-e remains no practical legal restraint on the in fraction of interventional duties, the sole remedy is a moral one-the sense of right and the force of pub lic optinon. Now. we sunnose a~ ia quit ,shli Bonhbardsaieast of JolhatnAa by nas AAnserlean 8alIp-off-War. Johtanna, one fof the C(onioro Islands, i situated in the nortliern'port of the 'Aaozalbiquo channel, between Maida gascar and the African coast, has been bonbarded by the United States-sloop of-war Dale. The plaice is much fre quented by whaleships for sapieis, and it was owhig to repeated out 11r0 "s from the king of the island, to whieh our whalers have been 'subjected, that the attack was m:Lde. In August 1850, lhe scized and threw into prison Cap tain Moore, of the barrjue Maria, of New Bedford. 'anad the )ale was de spatceld by our govcrnnent to obtain redress for the ontrage. The Western Star has the following account of the attack, derived from Captain Cutter, of the harque Dolphin "Cajptain Pearison, after making all inquiries. of both the English squadron on this stetion, and the masters of I Ameriean ships in the hairbor, and ulso f of the En'glish residents here, being s convinced of the flagrant injustice done < to Captain Moore and others at this e island, imediately demanded of the King $20,000, and required an imme- - diate answer. Afler waiting all tight and receiving no answer, he despatehed another letter, inttorinig the King, that if he did not give him an answer at or 0 before 12 o'clock, he should connenee t hostilities. The King replied to th last note, ofl'ering $500 in cash, $500 C worth of bulloeks, and trinkets. Cap- u tain Pearson refused this, and got his t ship under weigh, and atachored Lcr off i tne town, 100 hundred yards from the beaeh, with his broadside to the town. The King sent oif and offered to pay $5,000 if he could get liml in any way -woul give trinkets, cattle and cot ton cloth to IILke U) the anount.- 4 Capt. Pearson then gave the King 24 hours more to consider of . it, atAthe,( wam-ie telling im notto make any . var-like-denstration whe~. tiue; if he did. lie should consider it as a breach of ftith, and should coim anence inmaediate hostilities. lie also notified the King that if lie did not cone to soei definite terms, to send the woimen and children out of the place by nuon the next day, as he should then coaninence firing upon C themii. At daylight the 6th, there were r i large nuibor of troops paraded on t the shore, and they sent Word to Capt. Pearson that he might do what he ; ('ouldI-thvy would not pay anything. At 9 A. '., tht:2 Dale conienced fir in i shot at the fort. After live shots they sit a white flag. Capt. Pearson iamiediately e'ased firing, and sent Lieut. Faii hix with a flag of' trwce. to I inquire what the white flag was set for, 1 and if thaey were ready to treat with c hii. They answered that they wished . the firilng to cease, and said they could tot meet the demtiand. Thev were told to iaul down the flag of triuce, but ther refused to do so. Captain Pearson, on learniing their an swer, sonat iniother moassaage to then, informinimg tien that if they not haul I down the flag he should conmence fir- I in-g again with it up. After waiting a lrolr length of time, Captain Pearsen t augatint commIiaaaencd firing at the fort ahid blockhouse at the corner of the town, t but strictly avoiding to fire into the town. A i'ter initieteen shots and shells, they set a signal on the bench, and LieAnt. PAarker iwais sent with a flag of truce. At this time' the King" otkferod to pay $1 ,000 down, give a bond for $5,000 and surrender the town; said he was very sorry that he had done wrong, 1 and faithfully promaised not to do so inai future, lIe would give iup hais houses, his slaves, his cattle, but that lie conld niot give but 81,000 in monmey, and thirty hetad cattle.

The Tines has misgivings I Does t foresee troubles for England ? Has t apprehensions of invasion? Can it nagine that the Englishman, so en rgetic in industry, is wanting in ao. ivity and resolution in the field? Iiat is impossible; and yet it cannot onceal from itselr or the world the mdeniable fact of the immense part hie Celt has taken in all the contests y sea and land in which England as been engaged. Whether in case of invasion of England, Ireland could have been oused to side with her against a ,atholic enemy, is very questionable. io Englishman, however, would heir own battles. They will have to onquer their aversion with which hey have been inspired by the re nenibhrance of the horrors of brute orce, and by their commercial inter sts, and love of liberty. A commer. ial people have rarely been a milita y people- and it is no discredit' to hem. Our London cotemporary indulges n reflections on the fact of the forci Ic mixing ip of the Celtic with the nglo-American population by the rish emigration, and says: "All Ireland is thrown inte the Jnited States. As in a vast labora Dry somo ma1ster workman reserves ne material, till another is aigment d to its due bulk and ripened to its roper consistency, and then no long r hesitates to throw in the new in ;redient, the Celtic race, long and aysteriously reserved in its aborigin I rudeness and intractability, is oured into the very heart of the nglo-American population. forced hrough all its channels, and driven o its most distant recesses. A nighty power unites and assimilates hat whieb seemed irreconcilable." The "Anglo-American" is a better erm than Anglo Saxon, as it is more orrect.

The difference in the :baracter of the two races of Celt is ;reat-and wvhat is the cause ? His ory tells in relation of their different :olitical and social condition. The English people as a people, tave never, of late years, favored the lown-trodding of Ireland.
