It trill be seen that the whole matter has been referred to a Committe of five who will report to an adjourned meeting on Saturday next, some suitable plan of taxation. The Committee is fully competent, and, we hare no doubt, will do fall justico to Uie subject, yet as iu the "mullitudo of couusels there is safety," every citizen should reflect on the matter, and go prepared to give the meeting tin ' ?nefit of his advice* in the way of revision auu .aendmcnt Wo trust that the purse strings will not be drawn too tightly, and rely upon the liberality of our citizcns, to give ail enlarged discretion to the Council, and placc within their hands the means of carrying out the work of substantial improvement. We ourselves arc docidcdly for a strong capitation tax, upon ever}* one, property holder or not. The larger the capitation tax, the better is it for the property holder; and he should be the last to ohjeet to its payment, sinco the burdens upon property sro diminished to that extent. We are also in favor of a tax upon "cura of high and low degree,** and in the support of this proposition, rely upon tho cordial co operation of our worthy intendent, whose views in the premises are well known.

To such of oar friends, who are denied the pleasure of attending the Agricultural Fair, this week in Columbia, we commend the perusal of the article under the above title, on our first page, astome compensation for their disappointment ; and particularly to those who know the dramatis persona. Our friend, the sole representative of Uncle Sam's sovereignty in these parts, must, we think, be himself amused by the jeu & esprit, at his expense. We I uaiiuui' nu uo aumiraoie tncDtona." nor as[ pirc to the versatile talent of 'Toney Lumpkin," and his musical compccrs of the comer ; but yet it seems that a man who has but little "rou.Mc in his soul," may still "act his part," at a musical festival. We are convinced that hod we been present, whatever might have been the extent of our performances in the "afterpiece," we should have sung low in the overtare. Our friend may console himself with the reflection that the possession of a musical talent is the exception not the rule, whilst the capacity to appreciate a good dinner, is that "touch of nature," which, "makes the whole world kin." It not being convenient to submit the proof sheet of this article to the writer, there are a few typographical errors : For "classes" read I claw for "consent." ly" read moat ably?for "attica" read Attica. The Speech, of Mr. Ohoate of Boston. We have read with muoh interest the apeech of this able lawyer and enlightened statesman, lately delivered at Lowell, on the "political topics now prominent before the coontry." Coming as it does from the very hot bed of New England sectionalism, its calm wisdom, catholic views, and enlightened patriotism furnish a pleasing contrast, to the distempered and feverish atmosphere of part}' passion, and sectional fanaticism. The Charleston vwjtvw w vuo ouuiuao cm appoauug tod much to the material interest of the New Englander, anil invoking his support of the Union, on the ground of the protection, which it guarantees to him, at the expense of the producer. We do not think however that any undue prominence is given to this consideration. Self interest at best is a very active principle, and all that we can ask of it is a proper deference to the restraints of higher and nobler motives. These, the orator has not forgotten, to present and enforce. He appeals in ill A hUtnfin nn'^A rif hid oii^i^nna lltai* | honor, justice and patriotism ; and depicts in th# most vivid color the evils of sectional agitation. Ilis position is in dircct antagonism to the ruling faction at home ; Bud be exhibits the magnanimity and moral courage of the tntt statesman, in holding and avowing his prineiplea. A Whig, he is ready to unite with the democrats in an effort to aa^e the Union ; and rising above the prejudices of party, pays the following noble tribute to the spirits and triumphs of the Democracy : "That it bad burned ever with that great master passion this k/.n> - IL/..I 1 ? ??u ?<miauiM jfuuuiiuif TCMUNDl) eXUJUnt, sod progressive nationality. - Through some errors, into some peril*, it baa been led by it; it may be so Again ; we nay require'<6 temper and restrain it, but to day w? need it all, we need it all 1?the hope* the boaaU, the pride, the universal tolerance, the gay and festive defiance of foreign dictation, the flag, the music, all th6) emotion*, all the trait*, all the energies that have won their victories of war, and tbeir miracle* of national advancement? the country needs them all now to win a victory of peace." The leading idea?the key note of the whole peecb, is the evil tendepcy of gtograpkieml parti m. The orator shows thai the effect of luoh parties, is to array section against see uon in emoiuerea animosity; to introdoo* a new name and spirit into th? history of politics, which would ignore every American, national andpatriotic principle; that snob an organisation, is founded on essential injustice; inoe it attempts to exclude from the powers and privileges of the Gov?rninent? Jfut section which by every compact, express or implied is entitled to an equal participation in its rights , ud immunities; that, such a party most be dangerous to the general welfare, and finally lead to the dissolution of the Union, sinoe it develop# every* element of diaeord, tad fatut* *ifie* every feeling of actional hoetifity. ^ And now, what i* the heceetity ;, what'the policy of eo daafsnraa an. organization t The orator elearly ehowa that it ia impotent to atbeta lingie one of ita evowed objeete. To i determine indeed what tbeea o^ao* afe, ia a matter of totMjj^nlfo aj?i4tl^ >n?fraljete?y itateaeota of lie InVk IaiM rt^ee* toffer* ' peaaetoKaaau; tiui h?aJmaalM?dy turn - '* * *f V 4 _ ***** tion, and it ia useless to attempt to contravene j their operation. But does this party propone, in the language of some of its lenders, to "roll back-the tide of slavery ; " to "avenge the annexation of Louisiana and Texas ;" to introduee a "new era;" to "proclaim liberty and equality to enrry out the principles "of tlie Constitution in the light of the Declaration of Independence ; " it will but engender , strife, excite the hostility of the master and rivst mors securely tlie chains of the slave. The speech is one of great ability, and breathes throughout a spirit of enlarged pa- 1 triotism, which would do no discredit to the t>Pinriftliu an<) nnlian a *% * ?<->*> * ?? r. r...V ... OjJC. . Latter of Mr. Rhett. A late number of the Charleston Mercury. contains* long and able letter from the Hou. Barnwell Rhett to Gov. Adams oa the state of , public affair*. The viows of th? writer, both as to tho past and the future, aro gloomy and desponding, lie reviews the history of the country for the 1 past forty years, and exhibits the growth and progress of two dominant principles at the North, self interest and fanaticism ; the first as displayed in the passage of odious protective tariffs, the second in Congressional restrictions upon the introduction of Slavery into the ' territories. The two principles are of kindred nature and tendencies, the end of both bcine to prey upon the rights and interests of the , South. With due deference, we think the principle of self interest* and sectional aggrandizement, to be dominant nnd controlling; and that of fanaticism merely subsidiary to its advancement Anti-slavery, is made the watchword of a party, which seeks by restricting the area , of Slavery, to cripple the resources of the South and give to Northern sectionalism, a controlling influence in the Government, and an exclusive participation in its perquisites. Give the principle of self interest its a see ndencv. and it will nnt nnlv -1: > - --------- j uir criminating duties for the protection of Northern industry, but dispense the overgrown revenues in the shape of official patronage, to it." own party adherent*. Fanaticism, consolidation, and a disregard of Constitutional restraint*, all minister to the growth of this principle. In the career of Northern aggression upon the rights of the South, and the compacts of the Constitution, Mr. Khctt clearly shows that the great mistake of the South was untimely corietuion. A manly resistance which should have presented the alternatives of equality or disunion, would have brought the North to reflection ; and self interest the master passion would havo counselled moderation. But, the golden opportunity was suffered to escapc ; concession succeeded concession, until now a dominant faction, flushed with the spoils of triumph, and the prestige of success, will press us to the last extremity. To use the words of the writer, "all true statesmanship at tho 'South consists in forming combinations and shaping events, so as to bring about, as speeily as possible a dissolution of the Union." If the Xortli will eoneede a Tariff, reduce to the standard, of 1838,' and cive lis additional econritica hv consenting to amendment of the Constitution, the Uuiod will be worth preserving; otherwise let it be dissolved. And is there nothing in the present aspect of affairs, to justify these gloomy forebodings, and to warrant thes extreme measures. What is the election of Buchanan, but a mere respite in the onset; a four years truce,, and that obtained oply after the most determined and well organised resistance. Who could have prophesied fonr year ago, that the very incarnation of .the spirit of injustice, could have stormed the citadel of the Union, and held so long in suspense the issue of the conflict Black Republicanism has roceived a mere temporary check.

According to previous notice, a meeting of the citizens of Abbeville Village was held iu the Court House, on Saturday, the 7th instant, to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for an amendment of the Charter, of Incorporation, po as to confer upon the Council the power of imposing a tax upon town property. John G. Willson, the Intendant, was called to the Chair, and W. A. Leo requested to act as Secretary. Col. J. F. Marshall briefly stated the object of the meeting, and advocated the policy of conforing the taxing power upon the Council, and placing in their hands the means of carrying out a more extended system of Internal Improvement. Before discussing the details of a plan, be thought it best to take the sense of the meeting as to the policy of confirming this new power; and made a motion to that effect. The motion was seconded by II. A. Jones, Esq., who expressed himself in favor of (inv Rp.limnn nf Inrutinn wlii/'li ilknnl.1 !m_ pose its duo proportiou of burden upon every species of property ; and at the sari e time force every resident to pay a reasonable capitation tax. Mr. It. II. Wardlaw stated, tliat before he should feel himself prepared to vote for an amendment of the Charter, so as to confer tho power sought, he desired to have the whole subject discussed, and the details of some scheme of taxation submitted to the meeting. Col. Marshall stated that be had examined tho honk* of the Tax Collccter, and was ready to submit the leading feature of a plan to raise the tax. He proposed to levy a tax of one-fourth of one per cent, upon real estate, merchandize and professions; of one dollar per head upon all slaves, between sixteen years and fifty ; a tax ranging from two dollnrs to1 four dollars, upon every carriage, wagon and buggy ; a tax of one dollar upon every dog, over and jibove one dog to each family, die., ikr. The Doliev of ear.h and nil nf tVipcn *!/_ tails; the propriety of levying a capitation tax upon every citizcn ; the proper mode of making the assessment, die., gaye rise to quite an interesting debate, in which Dr. Livingston, R.
