The Charleston Contention tueeta no next,
Monday, ind tha ererjt of its deliberations is
aon the sobject.of absorbing intfcfest to btisy
pollticfariV. 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

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

A PRESIDENTIAL E8TIMATE.
The Washington correspondent of the Montgoniery
(Ala.) 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. Conceding to him every North*

are figuring up liia strength on tlie first

dash, and divide the balance up between Guthrie,

THE DIEFICCLTIE* BETWEEN tHE HOBS,
PS YOB AHB POTTER.
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

"Mr. I'citkb.?You aro doing the sonic

Mh. Potter, of Wis., xrss surprised tlint Mr.
Pryor hod not seen liim on that occasion, liestood
nt the time within a few feet of the gentleman
when he uttered his threat to Mr. Lovejoy,
walking up towurds him nnd blinking his
list, lie said then to Mr. Prvor. "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

of whom were greatly excited. The chief object
of the concentration about tha Speaker's

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'\'

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

She wns a native.t/f Jntnt*Islaud, near Charleston,
bill removed with heK ilrtlt husband. Dr.
Wm. McCaw, soon ofter their marriage, to the
plfico where she died, and where sho spent
,mo?tof her life.
I 'ller last illness vai of long continuance and
often very painful, bntshe bore it with CWristian
fortitude; and having long since made her
pence with God,; through the Mediator in whom
alone she trusted fort.solvation, she lived in
daily and joyful expevtation of tbflBQmmons to
come up lnglier and be at rerfcrVj^r
Her path through this life was often strewed
with thorns ; nli? fcnnw lli? KiLlorn?.? r>f ?.!?f
? >
of anxiety nnd of berenvernent. Two hrshands
nnd two only children were taken from
her; and whcn^Ht'last was removed, she was
left in charge of five fatherless and motherless
grand ehilflrt.tl, to receive her care, her anxilies
and her prayers. But in the mid*t of all
these troubles, she experienced in n large measure
the fulfillment of the promise, "as thy days
so shall thy (strength be;" and was never
known to murmur or despair. She did not
seek her happiness or her comfort from this
world; although she possessed and enjoyed
the good things of this world," in great abundance,
nnd had many things whereof to "glory
in the fltvll." Hrr wnllr wna nritl. fln.l
in liim slic trusted with an unwavering faith ;
her ways were the "ways of pleasantness and
the paths of pence" in which true religion
alone can and does 1' -.d its possessors.
As a member of the Church she was consistent
and devoted ; her heart and her hands, and
her purse were ever open to the iustitutions of
the Church, to the extension of the Redeemers'
kingdom, and to administer to the wants
of the needy. Many of God's poor will arise in

the blessing of Hint who rewards even a cup
of cold water given in his name to his disciples
will be hers.
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." God in greatmcrcy spaieu
her valuable lifi long enough not only to do
much good in the world, but to sow ihe seeds
of divine truth in the minds and hearts of t'.ie
children whom lie gave her to train for himself,
nnd who have now reached en age and
condition in jvliich they can be car.ed for by
others, who for their sake#, nnd their parents'
sakes will be father and mother, brother and
sister to them. May the blessing of the God
of Abraham, of I*aac, and of Jacob, the God
of the fatherless, rest upon that dear family,
ana uiay mey an meet iu Heaven.
A Sincere Friend.
It becomes our duty to record the dsath of
Mr. CALKIi BUIITON. which took place in
Lliis District on the 14th inat., under peculiarly
pninful circumstances. He was out in his
plantation attending to the burning of so > e
logs when a tree winch was on lire suddenly
fell andslruck him on Ihe head, causing it is
supposed, almost instant death. The body fell
on a heap of fire, and was badly burnt before
it wns toumJ.
Mr. Burton wai about seventy-eight years
old, and lias always resided in tins community.
He was nu lionest and industrious man, possessing
a kind and benevolent heart The
poor and needy Always received his sympathy
and aid. He was a kind neighbor : a valuable
citizen; a good neighbor; a good friend, and
nflf ctiunnle father, and leaves a large number
of friends and relations to lament his death.
