" - V *7" c SOUTH CAROLINA. e South Carolina occupies a position of para- it mount importance among the nations of the v earth, one radically different from any ever si hitherto assumed. She exhibit!) the grand spec- ii tacle of a brave heroic people, exercising a high a political and moral right, for the patriotic pur- r< pose of peaceably freeing themselves from in- \ tolerable oppression, and securing and preser- I vlnnr flip iiinlipnahle. liirhts nf num. mid tlie s: " ;? " ye? - > ? priceless blessings of liberty. The eyes of ev- s cry State iu the Union, and of every nation in \ Europe, are turned all with interest and some c with anxiety npon her. The perpetuity of a g cherished institution, and the destiny of the fair- si est land the sun shines on, depend upon her a success. With her rests the fate of the whole ti South, yea, the sicred cause of freedom, and n the holiest principles of liberty themselves are p involved in the issue of her grand experiment, I> Well may every Southern State ponder upon tire nature of her actions and look with absorbing anxiety to their results : for their sovereign- tl ty is involved with her's and must survive or b perish with it. And well may the lovers of | c Democratic principles and liepublican institu- liousatl over tho world, feel a boundless intcr; n est in her destiny, for with it are linked iudis- 'J solubly those priucqdes and institutions fori c weal or woe. The whole South should be pre- n pared to ansyver the question, will she permit v Sooth Carolina to be coerced, will she stand a 1: passive spectator whilst the General Govern- v inent lurhs their arms against the lives and lib- 'J ? ? * i . . a erty of her brothers 10 bloou ana interest s i>o e force may be used, it is true, yet it would he e suicidal not to be prepared to resist. One L P feeling and but one should reign in the heart of o every Southron, that South Carolina must be p permitted to exercise peaceably the right of tl succession if she chooses, for that right must c be acknowledged or the South is" lost g It is possible that she might be preserved by ti boldness and unanimity of action, but they arc ii scarcely to be hoped for. A fatal blindness c seems to hove fallen upon her, and her lctliar- n gy.aud supineness arc scaling her doom. Sho n feels the chains of slavery, the degrading bonds t of ""oppression, slowly but surely tightening v upon her, yet she seems to be paralyzed in the 3 folds of'* the eerpant and makes no effort to j break them. The waves of fanaticism and i abolition are already braking high above the t ramparts which fence around her institutions, c yet she makes but feeble and ineffectaol efforts t . to check their devastating flow. J s South Carolina alone, with prophetic eye, t beholds the (Linger, and with heroic heart pre- a pares to meet it, and even she, influenced by a c afrpng and devoted love for the Union, delayed v too long to take those decisive steps which the v eminence of iEe peril, and progress of events I e justified. It will require no great lapse of time j tp.prove to Uie other Southern States that South 1 i: Carolina is actuated by a high and holy, spirit ofiesistanco to oppression and aggression, of love for the South, and attachment to the institutions her fathers won and transmitted, not j the spirit of a reckless and mad ambition which f th$ Nortji nnd llie sijt^nissionisU charge upon her, not the fell' spitjt of fanaticism and hate ] which inspires the.North w ith a demoniac thirst | for Southern blood and infernal desire to be- ( -bold her institutions a mouldering heap of ruins, n Whether South Carolina succeed or fail, she r will have acted rtobly, and will be equally de- !i serving in either case, of deathless praise. Let t her do all that she can, let her resist to the last, t then if the cause of the South is lost, the hopes t of man crashed nnd the flag of freedom trailed ! li in the dost, with her will rest all the honor and a fame, with the North and her allies, the sub- \ missionists, all the curses of an enslaved world s and a doomed posterity. ?HorncCs Nest. c " ' t! '1 UNION OF THE SOUTH. J Tho gravitation of States having a social n similarity is as unquestionable as planetary at- P traction. Nature and necessity point to their Union. Uuless repelled by a force strong i v enough to ovcroomv this law of association, I 71 they assume, if couteriuiuous, iu fact, if not iu 71 + form, a Confederation. There arc limits, how- c ever, to tho operation of this law. States are n nothing more than an aggregation of individu- s als". T!i ey share in the same weakness and i s inflrpiities. Pride,jealousy, ambition, frojueut- Sl ly operate in counteraction of those sympathies P that load to their alliance. To_ awaken the 11 public passions which- slumber because stimulants are absent, is to countervail the tendency - to OBion by an adverse influence. The States of the South must move in that safe circle of \ co-operation if they move together for a com- n mon purpose. They peril the purpose the mo- 0 ment that either member advances more rapid- p ly tban the rest io the measures which demand e. concerted action. This awakens jealousy that si may hot be boshed. This alarms pride that h< may not be conciliated. Rupublics are pro- lL verbially sensitive to these influences. Neigh- tl boring Republics aro peculiarly so. The attraction of States may then be overcome by a tli counteractive force which is more potent than in any such attraction. It is wise not to bring a into operation auy cause that ma}' arouse jeal- t) 008 passions which are dormant, and awaken g, resentful instincts that may not bear control. t!i South-Carolina, in advancing before her ni Southern sisters, assumes the post of honour, te She takes, without consent of her allies,or those c< she would make allies, the distinction of tore- tl; most in the fight. More than this, she makes w herself the guardian peculiarly of Southern s< safety and right. Would she herself submit lo to this pretension in another? Would not her G pride take the alarm ? Would npt her jealousy tr be awakened, if without consent orconsultation hi superiority such as this posi'iou implies were g; assumed, quickest to resent wounded honour, tii readiest to discern the violated ricrht. Dromnt- d1 est to seek redress, most ehivalrio in applying the remedy? It may not be intended to assume in this attitude of superiority?this post of pro- hi eminent manlinoss. We should shun, however, si even the semblance of arrogance. Hut if these m feelings wore nnawakened, the idea of being ol forced into alliance 13 repulsive and self-humili- d< ating. It would be a confession of blunted per- m oeptioa- of deadened sensibility to right, honour' and safety, if not of Imbecility I What ol State with n spark of pride would make such tli an acknowledgment, nut in mere words, not by tc legislative resolves, but by a solemn act of sov- ei ii ii iiiwhi?imw ifm 11 reign ty ? What commonwealth that values s name, its influence, its historical associations ould consent to place on record that act of idf-degradation, that South Carolina, supreme 1 sagacity, supreme in courage, quickened by loftier honour into action, had forced it into iductaut union? Would Georgia do this?? Vould Alabama, the offset of Carolina, do it? t is the veriest delusion to expect it. Wo are atisfied that States, however bound in political ympathy, do not so ignore their manliness.? V'e feel assured that the experimennt would ast the State further, much further, from the oal of union than it would reach hv slower tops?by exercising those otlices of deference nd conciliation towards her sister States of to South, which she would expect if she were ow a laggard, as it is phrased, instead of cxcetiug to occupy the forlorn hope in the attle. Mr. Webster affirmed in his Buffalo speech tat the admission of new slave States would e unconstitutional?that the South would reeive no more concessions in relation to slavery -tiiat what was conceded to the old Thirteen mst remain the limit of those concessions, 'his Buffalo speech has unveiled the Massaliusetts statesman, lie stands before the Atericau public self-confessed. If his purpose ras to conciliate Northern support for the 'residency, the South ought to bo satisfied rith this exhibition of spontaneous candour, 'ho purpose stands avowed by one of the leadrs of Northern parties?tho great intelligent xponontof Northern opinion?that there is to e no more concession to slavery?not a jot r tittle.

Webster alludes to the Constitution ut the icriod of its formation, as giving all that was titended to be yielded to slavery. Suppose here had been thirty-one, as at present, instead if thirteen States, how would his rnle of limiation apply? In that case, if number is his tandard?if there is magic in thirteen, could heiVbnve been Union at ail?

Slavery in Liberia. - We find the followtig curious statement in the Albany Atias. It hrows some light on a dark place : A singular account of "Dahomey and the )ahomans," has appeared, written by T. l\ ^orbes, a lietitenant in her .Majesty's service )n the l.ist day of May, the Kiiig of Duliouiey nakes presents to his people. He stands on a aised platform, and occupies himself for many lours in throwing cloth, liquors and cowries o the assembled thousands of naked blacks clow, who scramble for them. The last of heir gifts consist in live persons, who are exlibited in gay dresses, and tied hand and foot, ro flung down to the waiting savages below, vho instantly tear them to pieces. The mision of Lieutenant Forbes to Gazo, the King f Dahomey, was to induce him to discontinue he slave trade, but this object not attained, ['ho King urged that it was impossible on lany grounds, such as national habit and exedienev, example of his ancestors, &c., &c.? lieutenant Forties says that slavery actually pre a Hi, under another name, in Liberia. I lie rgrocs are called pawns, and are taken as paytent J or debts. Almost every English merhant in Liberia has a femme du pays, and she milages his establishment. She does so by piling goods to native merchants, who leave laves or pawns in payment. Lieut. Forbes ays he knew a femme du pays, who had fort}' awtis, who performed all the house hold dues, and who were in fact, slaves. A NEW CLAIM AGAINST MEXICO. Somo time since we saw it stated that the lexican Minister, at Washington City, had lade a formal demand for a sum of about ?1G,00, being the amount by which the sum npropriated to claimants for Mexican spoliations xcccds the sum found due by the late commison. We find in the San Francisco papers a eavy demand, which California makes against le Government of Mexico, which will absorb ittfv limns this sum. The San Francisco Herald of tlie 15th states ic case is presented to the State Legislature , a report by one of the members. More than hundred years ago a large amount of proper was bequeathed by will in aid of the proportion of Christianity an J civilization among ic Indians in California. The fund was doaininated the Pious Fund, and was admiuis:red by the College of San Fernando in Mexi3 up to the 2oth of May, 1832. Previous to lat period, many loans?some of them forced, ere obtained from it for Government purpo;s; all of- which were acknowledged to be >ans, and secured by hypothecation of the rovennftont revenues. In May, 1632, the con oi of the fund was usurped by the Government, at again relinquished in 183G to the newly ormized diocese ol'tho Califoruians, and the cure property, with its rents and revenues, was ,aced in the hands of the first bishop. In 1812, Santa Anna again usurped the fund i behalf of the Government The bishop made 3 protest, and the correspondence which ented shows that tlio net was defended as a ensure of State necessity?not on tho ground f right?and, on this ground, the property was divered, under protest, to the Government adinistrntor, Gen. Valencia. The report claims that it is now the property f the. State of California, and recommend that te President of the United States he requested > order an investigation as to the rightful ownship, and if it should appear that it belongs to the State of California, that he take steps to have it retained out of the instalments due enJ__ *1? n U5rl..l,r? uur uic ucatj ui uuauaiuj/u *uu,4jgv? The amount of the Fund was in February, 1842, $1,255,816; of this $504,964 was draw- ing interest at various rates, from 5 to 10 per cent, per annum. Taking it at 6 per cent, all = round, this would amount to $777,630, making the large amount now due of $1,528,486.? IV. O. Picayune. v SENTIMENT IN NORTH ALABAMA. We take (he liberty of inserting the following private letter from a member of the last Legislature, a resident in the district of the Hon. David Hubbard. We rejoice to receive such cheering evidence from that quarter of the ^ State, as this letter, which is only one of the many of the same sort from that section, dis- S closes: " 1 fully appreciate the principles that you advocate for the interest of the Southern States jy and Southern people. They are truly the principles which animated our forefathers when ^ they united together to throw off the yoke of ^ British tyranny. I am fully of the opinion that our sister States of tlio North, from their course towards the Southern States and their interests, ^ aro disposed to place the yoke of tyranny up on us. 1 am a Union man upon the principles a of union set forth in the Constitution, which 1 guaranties to every State and every freeman t< thereof equal rights and privileges. "1 will now ask any man from the South have these rights been guarantied to the Southern States and people! They are compelled to answer, with all candor, no ; and why ? because the North has refused to protect the '' Southern people in their property: in the first 0 placo by admitting California with her Consti- t tution, claiming unoccupied territory large ]j enough tor four States, shutting out all the { Southern people from that territory with a cer- . tain species of their property. In the second place because they refused to pass laws to pro- ^ tect the same species of property in the terri- 3 tory. And iu the third place, because, they a have-in a great measure refused to carry out jthe fugitive slave law in good taitb. "It is very evident to every well informed ' man of the North and South that the South I contributed over her proportion of blood and li treasure that acquired this territory from Alexi- u co, and ot right are and ought to be entitled to 0 ..... 6 an equal.participation iu its settlement and occupation with their property of whatever kind. r But this is denied them, the door being eifectu- n ally closed by the abolition majority which 1 rules in both branches in Congress. j "I am .proud to say that we liavo very few j Union SubmLsionists iu this county. We are Union men upon the principles of the Constitu- c tiou and equal rights, aud wjll prove the same c by voting for the Hon. David Hubbard for c Congress."?Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. j Riot and loss of Life at Hoboken, N. Y.?A riot, attended by loss of life, and great personal injury, occurcd at Hoboken, (N. Y.) on Moil- ( day last. A large number of Germans crossod \ over from the city of New York to that place, j to celebraU? ;.the day of Pentecost Towards r the close "df* the day some difficulty occurred j with a party of the'Rowdies from New York, about forty iii number, called the "Short 11 Boys," who insulted the Germans, and were j armed. The dispute resulted in a fight, which c lasted three honrs, and terminated iu the Germans driving their assailants from the ground, who being reinforced by a gang of Irishmen, the fight was renewed, and again ended in the t assailants being driven o/F. On tiie Germans s preparing to cross the ferry, on their return to s Now York, they were again attacked, nnd dur- j inrr the fi<rht throe or four norsons wore killed. "O o I ' . and a largo number wounded, among the latter was Sheriff Wright and Justice Dunning, I the latter dangerously. c The New York Police were sent for and re- j. fused to come. Two military companies of { Jersey City were then ordered out, which, with a largo body of firemen, succeeded in ;l quelling the riot. A largo number of the riot- t ers wore committed. i: Sad Accident?A Lady nearly Buuned l to Death.?On Saturday evening, 26th ult, Mrs. Ward was returning home from the Baptist Church at "Clear Creek," in Smith county. ^ The woods were on fire on both sides of the .v road; tho wind was blowing strong, and the 'J fire was suddenly communicated to her dress, n The lady was alone; she was soon enveloped q in flames, but, although badly burned, and enduring excruciating pain, with an admirable e presence of mind she tore the burning remnants c of her dress from her bod}'. Iler under clothes it being of woolen texture, resisted the progress tl of tho flames upon her person. Had they been of the same igtiitible material with her dress, * Mrs. Ward would have found a funeral pyre in 11 the forest. As it was, with extreme difficulty o only did sho reach the residence of her son, h Win. 'J'. Ward, Esq., a half a milo distant. p On Sunday, tho 27th, Mrs. Ward was in a very precarious condition, but fond and filial r' hopes were indulged that sho would yet recov* cr '?1'aulUing {U/uo) uiarion. Southern Baptist Concent ion.?This con- ti vent ion assembled at Nashville on the l)th inst. tl The number of members present was large.? The R ev. D. Howell presided. A spirited de- , bate occurred on a motion to admit the Rev. Dr. Macfav, of New York, to a seat in the con- 'r vention, on the ground of his sentiments 011 ft the slavery question. The objection was fin- (, ally overruled, on the disclaimer of the Doctor that he was an abolitionist, and he was recognised as a visiting member. 1 The board recommended a separate South- w em Bible Society independent of any other or ganization. The question of a new English u translation was argueu at some lengm, anu uis- i , approved; the board recommending tlie circu- 4 lation of the present authorized version, until a veifion which shall be recognized by Protes- ai tant Christians as a better one, shall make its S appearance. gj On the last day of tho session, several persons were designated as missionaries to China. ni The next convention is to he held at Haiti- ^ more.?N.
