Delfeustps have becq sent from tbo rarious Districts of our8tate to the Columbia Ctonveoion, with the exception of Newberry, tvershnvr, Orangeburg, Beaufort, Collcfcdn; Williamsburg and Horry,and it remains to. be, teen lion- far these represent tha popular will; )r to what.extent the State will feel bound t?y .heir action. We do not suppose that Carolina rill content itself with the re-affirmance of he Cincinnati platform, or that the State coulil >e induced to support Douglas as the nominee ?f tlfe Convention on any platform. From the harncter of the Delegates appointed, and the latare of the resolutions adopted at some of be District meetings, we trust that the South Carolina delegation will be prepared to stand ide by aide with the representatives from Jdisissippi and Alabama. The resolutions adoped at the Alabama Stata Convention, affirm he unqualified right of tbe people of the slave olding States, to the protection of their proprty in the States and Territories, and that it i the duty of the general government to secure j the citizens of the United States nn entry itli their property of every description, into e Territories; and the Convention instructed leir .representatives to withdraw from the l,?ln.l/.n ,L- - vvnlVMt.VH iU vaau Ul (IIC re I II 811 I V the Convention to adopt the substance of ic foregoing propositions. There does not Qfem to be any probubilitv r Douglas receitjug the nomination at Charles in?but'even in that event we do not see that le Slate would be reduced to the alternative ; chousing between him and the Republican >minee, or that by refusing to vote for the emocralic nominee, tliqState would contrihe to the success of the other paity. The llacj of the argument id thus well exposed by e Charleston Evening Kmc*: It it a common and fatal error to suppose at in the election of President, the choice ould nnd must be narrowed down to two rsoiis?the nominee of the two leading ?pnr:s. If it be eo. the party systems which thus it the people off frim their free preference, alike rotten and oppressive. It destroys the ilue of political suffrage nnd public opinion, it the nrcli demagogue and his friends care it a straw if it does, so his nomination and oeiiOu are secured. 1'lie Stales rights Democracy of the South ill'not support Douglas, nor can they be forced do po, and stultify themselves. All know at a majority of the whole Electoral College neccessary to an election, and if jiut obtain uj 4<uj viiuuiuoio, me civvtiuiimiuai. go HllO e House <>f Representatives. If then Dougi is the Democratic nomineo, it is not neces ry tliat the Southern State# or any of them mild voto for him, in order to defc-at the aek Republican nominee.

Advcrtiter speculates as follows touching the Presidential nomination at Charleston^ Ttj#^Jhicago Times?Douglas' liomc organ? sa3's that Douglas iiiust be nominated at Charleston, or he will ?nact the character in which Martin Van Buren was so successful in 1848. What impuilcnce I Douglas knows that lie is unpopular at the South, that the Democraav are divided about him at the North, th?t half of '.he Democracy of Indiana follow the lead of ilia Administration, and yet he has the arrogance to attempt to force hims?lf upon the convention, to say, "take me, or I strike." lint I opine that he stands btft a small chance of lecuring the nomination. If the Southern States stand firm he can never be nominated. The whole number of votes iu the Convention will be 808; two thirds (202) will be necessary for a choice.

Itwlll^be aecn-by the telegraphic desp^t^h* in anothci* column, that the gentlemen referred, to above, left Washington onWedn^eday-triglit1 for tlio purpose, it is supposed, of etigngiop'lD a duel. The following is tlic debute in the'lfoaie ' \Yvdhe#d?y?: which led to (lie djflicult,)-: Mr. PnroR, of Va., rising to a privilrgtrd question, charged that Mr. rotletfTof Wis., had ini; terpolated Ihe' Qtob* report of the discussion which took place dnrinir the recent snei-cli of Mr. Lovejoy, with langungc which wns offensive to him, nn<] which, so far as lie feas aware, was not t?|?>ken on that occasion. Ho did not even see Mr. Potter at. that time. None of the papers which published reports of what happened at that time, except the official paper, attributed such langunge to Mr. Potter. The interpolation was the language ascribed to Mr. Potter in the C/lobe as follows: ? *"> "Mn. Pbtor.?That is the point I make. Let the gentleman speak from his seat,-and pay all under the rules lie is entitled to pay-;: but, sir, lie shall not corns upon this side, shaking liis fist in our faces and'talking in tlic style he lins ii- -i.-11 . ?1 .... i - iie sunn nuii-inuc ncrn ?csiicuiuung in n menacing nnd ruffianly in miner.

"you arc doing the sonic thing 3*our#clf.'' lie Bnid it distinctly, and was surprised when ho looked nt llie reporters' uotcs to sec that lie was not reported. With a view to mnkc the report correct, he inserted what he said, lie would nsk Mr. Pryoivn he did not erase that remark from the Globe report, nnd whnt authority he had for so. doing. For himsell, rather than strike out what another gentleman lind written in the report, he would cut off his right arm. But that remark put in its proper place, as he uttered it, whs erased by the "gohtleman from ^Virginia. lie stood'by the .words ho liad uttered On 'that occasioft. Mr. Pryor, oT Virginia, said the gentleman from Wisconsin desired to know by what authority I erased from the report tlie word# that he placeil'there. lie had changed nothing tlmt he. reporter had reported^but lie felt himself authorised to..cra*o from the the report an uuwarrnnted'and impertinent interpolation. The gentleman from (Wisconsin had sui<l that lie would cut off his" right arm rather than strike out what ifnothcr gentleman had written, and 3'cthe could interpolatftthe report with words nor?r? Imd lionrtl Ifn J nrlo.l aloud by bis words, rftfd he supposed that he had given him (Mr. l'tyor) liberty to construtthem ns he chose, lie should bo construe I Item and whether the gentleman would stand by them, the sequel would demonstrate. .. MB. LOVEJOY'8 SPEECH IN THE HOUSE. Washington- April 5, 1830?Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, poured out the vinls of his wrath upon slavery in the House today in a stylo which utmost produced a battle ou the floor. The equul has never been witnessed sTnce 4he .conflict resultiuf from tho Grow and Kcitt "'difficulty. The invective of tho speaker?whose brother wns thcelebrated .Alton martyr?was terrific. He walked from ilia spat down in front of the area, and half way over to the south side, storming out the most terrific imprecations upon slavery, and at the same time shaking bj^ first at them ns if the slave puwtr jat tep.erspnated there. A ybung, ardent and impeUioiii'Virginian viewed his manner as an insult to Southern geotleinan, nnd cdffling out into to the area also, asaertcd that Lovejuv . - i ii j - > * uu^m> nut w uc un?*tu ku jirocecu unless h 5 occupied liis own place, tinder the rules, liy this lime the areu was filled with menibers, nil of whom were greatly excited. The chief object of the concentration about tha Speaker's desk an<l his principal assistant seemed t-> he to get them both back to their plnccs. I.ovejoy would not stir until sumetimu after the Awiss-, tant Sergeant at Armsappenred witli,hj? innee and requested gentlemen lo take their seats. When the conflict was thickest, J,ovejoy informed the infuriated crowd about hiit&lliat tln'\' could not intirciate hiin. Potter, of'Wiseonsin, w.]?o stood by his side, gave notice that'he had right to select his own position when epenking;: RurnpU of TCv. insi?lcil flint. Ilm mmilnmni. from Illinois should not be allowed to go on out of "fe'rder. Another member cried out "Hq. can't finish tlmt ppceoh here to-dny," when" Kellogg, of Illinois, sprang into the centre of the crowd in the urea and with great emphasis and feeling declared Hint his colleague was proceeding in order and should not be intimidated by threats or intuit. Tim he was entitled to the floor, and must be allowed to go on ; and if lie was out of order, be (Kellogg) would be the first to chec^c him. This lost speech, together with the npnenrnnce of the Assistant Sergeant at-Artns bromrht harmonv out of chaos, anil Lovejoy mounted the Clerk's desk and proceeded with and finished his speech? the substance of which the report of debates will show.

The writer knew her intimately for many years, and he can find no terms ndequnto to express his admiration of her character as exhibited in all the relations of life, and his own peraonal esteem and affection for her. Her kind heart, her unostentatious manners, her lady-like deportment in every circle of society, her generous nnd charitable disposition, her h uniility, and meekness, her submission to the will of God, and her faith, endeared her to all who knew her, nnd who were capable of appreciating moral and religious worth. But Iter earthly career is closed ; and she lias doubtless gone to the Saviour whom she loved, and "her works do follow her,"?"she beine dca;l yet slt-epeth."
