This question Logins to grow important as the probabilities increase tliat she yiil decide I upon that as*the alternative betwegnfejfcgfftcc and resistance. It is our duty asffigftyen to ! look this issue boldly and feaUcsdyTnYhe fare. ! If tlw* strength of this Litiion is to be tested, I and the federal power brought to cperce^a State * into the quiet suhraifgitfi to wrong, we say the I . quicker the iss^^is made the Letter., The ' present is as AflEicioutj an hour as agy for the South. If tUpBpne is delayed, the North contiiiuallv *iul?'Jrapi<ll v strengthening in popula-, tion. will- soon rwsess the numerical?j)ower to j . ? restrain by forms of law every cffoHflo resist i oppression. If then,'the issue is to fie forced, i it is in ever}' respect better to face it now iiian j hereafter. In view of the issue being forced, i let us ask what President Fillmore" will do ? j Will he atteni|)t to exercise the military power of the federal government to coerce South Caro- i lina. ^ There are those wh'o have little r&roc-ct for onr constitution, and loss respect for tiro pmurj pies of republicanism and genuine <^vil lioKiy, declare that the President would, and lhut.it is i his duty to, coerce a sovereign State by millt uy j force. We are of tliose wbo believe the Presi- j dent has no sncli power, nor does the' conslitu- : tfon anywhere give to Congress the right to j clothe him with any such power. Were it j otherwise, the President might be empowered i by a lawless Congressional majority, to enforce j any law, no matter how oppressive, by military j coercion. Against a State, we care not under what pretext, the constitution furnishes no authority for any department of this government to exercise coercive power. Insurrections or 1 against a State?resistance in a State against a " constitutional law, may be cotjrced by military j power. But a State, after it has in its sovereign capacity denied the constitutionality of the exercise, of a political power by Congress, cannot, in our opinion, bo coerced either into an , acquiesence in it, or to submit to the enforcement of it; by the general government within its borders; If may legitimately, and it ought to i resist any attempt by the general government \ to enforce such law within the limits ol the State. But it is urged that a State may not go out of the Union, and that should any make the ex |?eri<nentj the federal arm would be raised to J slap thein back. There is a singular opinion j abroad among the calm thinking classes on this ! subject Let the first federal gun be discharged j at the citizens of South Carolina, if she secedes . and this Union, will melt down as rapidly as a piece of buUer would have done in the furnace into which th?se holy men of old were c?ut.? If this were not to be so, we should be prepared to believe that the institution of slavery instead of being permanently, enduringly fixed as pceu Harly adapted sectiou, by climate, soil and production, was merely an accidental element to be displaced by those who happened to possess the pl?3*sical power of domgit. Wo contend that if the federal government were permitted by the Slave States to coerce South Carolina, they wofild write, seal and deliver a mortgage to the .North upon the negro property of the . South, which, within fifty years, would be foreclosed. The safety of the South lies in her resisting at every and all hazards, the exercise of , military power by the general government; against the legal and sovereign authority of any I State. It is said that Mr. Fillmore would exercise ' the military power of the government against | S. Carolina, if she dare secede. We do not be- i Iieve it. In politics we know him to l>e a cold, sagacious man, but lie has demonstrated to the world that he is morally feeble. He shrank from before the lofty crest of abolitionism in Massachusetts, and he trembles at the cold and and slow progress of that Rohnspierre in New York, W. H. Seward. Mr. Fi lmore will ilis- I grace himself by seeking pretexts and excuses j for delay, should he be summoned to face tie | storm now gathering. Mr. Fillmore will bins- ! tor and fume a little, but he'll do nothing. If a i ? ? -? i . i _ 1 UOlfl political continuation were m ins iiirmcu, j snch an one as that which despoiled Texas of ! ISO odd thousand square miles of territory and j 0T robbed the Federal Treasury of ?10,0U0,000,! Mr. Fillmore is tiie man for sueii a maineuvre. ! If the abolition vote is necessary to him or his i projects, he knows how to work out just such a combination. Hut Mr. Fillmore is not the man to face or guide a revolution; and should it be his misfortune to he at the head of public i affairs when the crisis comes, lie will dwarf into 1 very small?exquisitely small proportions. Columbus (Miss.) Standard. The. suffrage basis in Virginia.?There are manifestations of a very excited state ofpopu- 1 lar feelings in Western Virginia, in view of the ; belief which is fast gaining ground, that the [ mixed basis wfll be adopted in the new con- j stitution.

The vexed ! question will probably have to be settled by | mutual concession and compromises. The j great compromises of Congress in favor of our1 national Cnion, are a patriotic example for j Virginia's imitation. On the night of Monday and morning of Tuesday last, we bad one of the most heavy and devastating rains ever seen or felt in tlie vicinity of Wadesborougli. In this all our planters, so far as we have seen them, agree. j One gentleman told us that he had fences washed away on Could's Fork where he never knew the freshet to reach before. Iliil sides have been dreadfully washed, and low lands Hood< d, j and we fear that a great deal of the planting done before the rain will have to be done over o.r..;., I!i? until this rain the sDiinir has been "a""" " J* - i w so far very favorable.?Af.

I Arrival of I lie Georgia. FAILURE TO ELECT A U. S. SENATOR. Nkw York, April 7, 9 p. m. The Steamship Georgia, Capt. Porter, arrived this evening from Havana, brings the California mails and sixty passengers brought by the steamer Falcon. The dates from San Francisco are to March llti?. * The Courier' says that the efforts made by the jLegi.sI.iture to cjcci ?i I'mu'u oiaius tor in place of Col. Fremont have proved iuef Jectual. WHfen the Convention first met, the prominent Whig candidates were Hon. T. llutler King and Hon. John Wethered, and the L)emocra|fc candidates were Col. Fremont and Mr. Hejlfenfelt. Mr. Wethered finally abandoneiCfflbUrontest, and it was narrowed down to the fwEo- others named. After'tfearly 150 balloting*, the Convention finding it idipussible to make a choice, adjourned till the 1st 61' January next. King had the jiighesfcfoto on the last ballot, but lacked six or.eqil.itvotes of an election, iicydenfelt was i tlra^itOvite of the Democrats. Fremont, who commenced with only a half dozen votes, grad- ! ually increased in strength, until before the Convention adjourned iiis vote equalled that I of Heydenfelt. On the last day the latter withdrew, and Collonel Weller was substituted in [ his place, who received exactly the vote before ' 1: I-*- ? 1 given to tiie withdrawing cuiiuiu;ue. jx jjuuu dual of feeling exists on the subject, and the senatorial* question xvill enter largely into the next political canvass. On Sunday 23d of February, San Francisco was in a tremendous state of excitement on account of the anticipated execution by the populace of two noted scoundrels, Stewart and Windred, for nearly murdering Mr. Hanson, a respectable merchant of this place, and robbing him of ij',000. A meeting of citizens was called, several of our most influential and wealthy men presided, and the prisoners were given a fair trial by Jury. The Jury, however, disagreed, and the officer of justice took possession of tho culprits. At Sacramento City a similar affair occurred, but the offender did not escape so easily. Frederick Roc a noted gambler .shot through the head a Mr. Clias. Myers fur interfering to put an end to a quarrel in which he was engaged. A meeting of the citi zens was called,, in which the most prominent and influential men took part. Roe was (lied, convicted, and in less than five hours after the commission of the crime he was hung in the presence of an assemblage of thousands. From the Daily South Carolinian. Vaccination. Mksshs. Editors: I have lately found that much prejudice exists against vaccination, and among intelligent persons, in many of our country neighborhoods. With a view to collect authentic information of its inestimable value, from a source furnishing appreciable knowledge, while sending him Vaccine, I addressed an in-* quiry to Dr. T. A. Elliott, of Orangeburg, in whose neighborhood Variola (Small Pox) had appeared, i seud you, for publication, his reply, and need .scarcely say that the testimony of so experienced a nract'tioner, and one whose I - - opinion is so entitled to respect, ought to dispel all opposition ta 4he free extension of this important addition to medical knowledge by the immortal Jenuer. Respectfully yours, R. W. Gibues, M. D. Columbia, April 9, 1831. Okaxgkbukg, March 31,1851. Dear Sir: My duties are such that it will be impossible for me to do more, at present, than give you, in a few words, cuy experience in relation to the etiicacy of Vaccination as a preventive of Small Pox. In no case have I seen Variola (Small Pox) proper occur in any one protected by Vaccination previous to exposure to Vuriolous contagion?and in every case wh?*re Vaccination lias been resorted to (if not too long delayed) - '* 1- :? ??..I;K..,I UllA'l OUUU C,\pU3UI XT, It IIAO IlliailciUlJ UivuiUtU the disease. lly being protected, I of course mean a genuine Vaccina'im. Do I say loo much, when I state my belief that one-eighth of the number of Vaccinations are spurious t in four of the cases now and lately under my treatment, where Vaccination was resorted to after exposure, the attack lias been much lighter than in ordinary cases of Varicella (Coicken i'ox)?indeed, were it not for the previous tiiree or four days fever, and the fact of the exposure to Variolous contagion being known, 1 believe that any one would have pronounced them Varicella. As to the danger or bad eifccts attendant on Vaccination, 1 have seen none, and in the past three weeks near three hundred casus have come under my knowledge. He-Vaccination have also been numerous, and the only case at tended by suffering, was tlmt of * *, whom you saw, and who required nothing hut a cooling lotion to give hirn perfect relief. The above is based 011 the facts presented in cases lately occurring sixteen miles from this place. Up to this time, of ten showing eruption, three only were strictly Variola ?the others being modified by Vaccination. l ours respectfully, T. A Elliott. Dk. R. W. Guides. i .1 Xiii.stinre. ?The Grand Jury of Georgetown District, for the spring term of Court present as a nuisance all those transient persons from the non-slavoholding States, who come to this district in the winter, for the purpose of traI! ..I....I fl'ltiiw* ?kt?/l iliifilr.cliniifiiHr .tva Kn. lieve them to Ik* injurious to ail classes of our population, and, therefore, solicit the intervention of the Legislature in the matter.

Tlie three together, as we are informed, weighed twentv-one pounds! Abbeville Banner. 0O"To-morrow is a fine gentleman, who makes many promises?To-day is a plain man, who never breaks his word. Nullification in Massachusetts.?A special joint committee, of which Joseph T. Buckingham is chairman, in the Massachusetts Legislature, has reported a very stringent bill, designed to interfere with the operations of the fugitive slave law. It breathes the spirit cf open nullification. It forbids any officer or member of the volunteer militia of Massachusetts, at the command or requisition of a U. S Marshal or deputy, to act apart of the j/osse comilatus in the arrest or detention of any alleged fugitive slave, under severe penalties ; requires all district attorneys to defend arrested fugitives; and provides that a jury trial may be claimed by every fugitive not released, after examination by a IT. S. commissioner or justice of any court. THE CAMDEN JOURNAL. THO. J. WARREN & O. A. PRICE, EditorsTUE8DAY EVENING^ APRIL 15, I85l7~ Our Market. Since our lust, we have no material change to notice in the Cottou Market. The article does nntcomein very extensively, and we are in order to quote extreems from 7 1-2 to 11 1-4 cents. Our friend and correspondent 'Lancaster' must excuse our apparent want of courtesy to his last favor. It was laid by and overlooked, and for want ot room this week, we are compelled to defer its publication, but will do so at our earliest convenience. On Friday we hope to lay a portion of it before our readers, and conclude 'he article ill the succeeding number, of the Journal. There are many strong reasons advanced and they are i supported by strong arguments why South Carolina should secede, (if it must be so,) single handed and alone. Elections in Kershaw District. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen'that Elections have been ordered for Sheriff and Clerk of the Court, for Kershaw District, on the second Monday in May next, being the 12th day of said month. The Election will be for one day only. Messrs. Workman &. Boone, are also encaged in the manufacture of Boote'and Shoes, and are prepared to accommodate their customers 011 the most favorable terms. They have a complete assortment on hand, and as our friend Fulton, of the North Carolina Argus,-says: "Will bear a comparison with any made in the Union, from the finest and smallest baby's slipper to the most substantial (and we add largest) covering for the undcrstainding's of the lords of creation." P i . Leatherand Shoe Factory. 'Messrs. Alden and Murray are engaged in the manufacture of Leather and Shoes, and are prepared to shoe all the Ladies,and as a cotemporary of ours once remarked very apprujiosi "the Gentlemen to boot." Their Tannery'id fituated about two miles from Camden, on the Lancaster Road, and is under successful operation. We are always glad to see improvements going on, and are encouraged to believe that our cause is not entirely extinct, but on me way iu tutrees. Encourage Horns Industry. Why is it, we ask, that Domestic Enterprises are so often suffered to drag along, and sometimes out a miserable existence, with scarce enough patronage or encouragement to keep soul and body together. Unfortunately this is too true.? The South has relied too little upon itself, its own str-ngth has never been tested, nor have its resources been developed, to any cousidarable extent?all for the want of a proper spirit of enterprise among her people. But to our text: The true policy of the South, is the encouragement of every species and class of Home Industry and Domestic Enterprise, be it what it may. If, for example, a man sets himself up by the side of the road, to make wagons, or even shoes, coopers-ware, or any thing else, his work ought to be preferred, and encouraged before Northern. It is no reason because we may gei a rtoriuern anicie a lew cents cheaper, mat we should prefer it to Southern. Every man ought to be willing to tax himself to some extent for the encouragement and support of trade at home, for if we carry the idea out, we shall very dearly seo, that in the long run, nothing would be lost by such a course. On the principle of production and re-production, we tnay easily discover the secret of success, in the lact that, the demand b coming greater for all articles consumed, a larger number of persons would have employment, and consequently, there would be less reason why pauperism and rascality should be found in the land. These are only collateral reasons, and are glanced at merely superficially, to show the necessity for the encouragement of Home Industry. Thousands would be benefited, and our country would be more prosperous, enlishtened and happy. This is the genuine spirit of Independence. And if the South would accomplish her Independence and establish it upon a sure and permanent basis, let this policy be pursued. We are glad that the doctrine is gaining strength every day, and that our people are looking at home where they ought, to their true interests.? If we were extensively engaged in manufacturing, our position before the world would he more respectable and commanding. Already, the products of our soil are foun I entering every civilized port, and there is no reason why we should not furnish those, with the same commodities, that are furnished us necessary for our use. If the same amount of patronage was bestowed upon Southern Enterprise, which is lavished and wasted upon tho North; if in other words, if our people would stay at home and keep tlipip mn.?. v trp U'ftlllil have thf> mnst tirnc. porous and happy country in the weld. Our foil, our climate, and every thing goes to prove the truth of this assertion, and we defy successful contradiction to this proposition. Whether the opinions of a newspaper Editor of small pretensions are of much consequence or not, or whether our sagacious, and eery wise friends in their own conceits, think it worth whiie to preserve the Camden Journal, is another, which has nothing to do with the question, and which, hy way of parenthesis, we take occasion fo sajr, dont cause us many moments of sleeples&auxiety. At the Public good we aim, and if our endeavors to promote the good of our people shall result jii any wise to their benefit, we shall have done, at least some good, to counterbalance the evil which viftlicrwite may have occurred. Our mechanics ought ta.be preferred in every instance, when their qualifications entitle them to consideration. lit every department of the industrial pursuits, and *t)f the Arts and iMechanics, men may be found Avho are identified by the bonds of interest, which are stronger than all others beside, to our own peculiar institutions and laws.
