i SOUTH CAROLINA. The whole burthen of the Whig press of this State, seems to be how to abuso most effectually bur sister State. The noble staud taken by South Carolina, instead of being imitated is decried; there is no friendly lemunstrancc in the tone?no dignified appeal to generous feeling?no sympathy?but a bitter, \iudictive, uncompromising hostility, that would conic with more grace from Federal Massachusetts, than a twin-sister. The Democrats of our Stale, are far more generous, tortnougn niauyoi mem, t!ic larger portion we may say, do not believe in the policy of''separate State action," they eontend for the right of secession, not knowing how soon the Northern aggression may bring about that co-operation of the South which the liresent or past seems not yet to have done. The doctrine of nullifiation so strongly condemned in '33 and 35, and which caused two vessels of war to be placed in Charleston harbor to enforce the laws, assumes a now feature when put in practice in Massachusetts and \ ermontjto nullify a constitutional act of Congress: for the Fugitive Slave Law as passed, is merely a section of the Constitution itself, served up a la mode to humbug the unwary. Every thing South Carolina does, or threatens to do, invests her Northern "sisters" with a holy horror?bat let the same steps be taken by northern fanatics, and all is right.. In conversation with a friend recently from tiie North, we learn that hcattended divine service on theSabbnth, when, to his surprise, the minister from his pulpit, solicited contributions to feed the numerous fugitives in that town concealed, and to raise a fund to assist all others, who like them have fled from bondage. We hear nothing of these things in those presses who pride in abusing South Carolina? who seem to forget that she is not even conlending for a share of the soil her valor helped materially to win?but an inherent right, a guaranteed right?a right site never surrendered, s. ^ nor never will?the right to regulate her own \' JF internal affairs, and protect her institutions from being corrupted by either a foreign or a domestic foe. If we cannot agree with South Carolina in principle, we have no right to condemn her? she came into the Union voluntarily, she can go Out so?hot then will be no time for recrimination, it will be one- when better feelings should be aroused?and if we are "hot mistaken one would be, that might unite the whole South in a common cause. But South Carolina will not secede we trust; honest counsels may yet prevail in our national assembly, and a genuine compromise be effected that will heal all dissensions. But the rights of the States must still be guarantied. If Vermont and Massachusetts wish to secede, kn?A o rtrvlit nnil flipni ?ro ! Islucolll hicj a o Courier. Calhoun on Submission.?"Come what will, should it cost every drop of blood and every cent of property, we must defend ourselves, and if compelled, we would stand justified by all laws human and divine." "If we do not defend ourselves, none will de- ] lend us; we will be more and more pressed as ( we recede ; and if we submit we will be tram- j pled under foot." | " I say for one, I would rather meet any ex- ) tremity on earth than give up one inch of our ; 1 equality?one inch of what belongs to us, as J members of this great Republic " I ' "Wherever a free people permit their fears to . control them in refushing to vindicate their ' ' rights, they are ready to be slaves, and only : ' wait for a despot who has more courage than J ( they have, to make them such." 11 " There is one point on which there can be ; no diversity of opinion in the South among those | * who are true to her, or who li tve made up their ( minds not to be slaves: that is if we should be j ' forced to choose between resistance aim suo- i ^ mission, wo should take resistance at all hazards.

I j - - - V j , A Srn'imcntul llohber.?A fellow entered ; 1 the house of Mr. Fitch, in St. Louis, recently,! 1 and rilled the bureaus of their contents, lie 1 was not satisfied with his thelt, hut seeing a 1 young lady asleep he stolen kiss, which arous- I ed the sleeper, who seized the thieving rascal by the coat, raised an alarm, ;uui the fellow was caught and safely lodged in prison, where, he will have time to rellect upon the dan- i | ger of indulging in sentiment when busi- j , ness is to be attended to. Three Important Facts.?Never he influenc- I ed by external appearances in forming your judgment ol a person's worth. This is an im- 1 portant rule; for many a noble spirit is covered ' by habiliments of poverty, while not unfrequent- ' ly a showy exterior conceals a villain of the ba- 1 sesl kind. Dean Swift said that nature has given every man a capacity of being agreea- , ble, though not of shining in company; and ] "there are a hundred men sufficiently qualified t for both, who by a very few faults, that they may correct in half an hour, are not so much as tolerable." The world would be more happy if persons gave up more time to an inter- i p.ii.intrc of fritnutshin. Hut monev engrosses I t O ------ | . i-j all our deference; and we scarce en joy a so- < cial hour, because we think it unjustly stolen J 1 from the man business of life. | 1 CiiAK.u.tejt or t::;: E.\glisii, lnisii am Scotch.?Looking at the population of the three kingdoms it may he easily perceived that there is a pcnsidcrable difference amongst them with respect to temperament. The Irish arc gay, ardent; the Scotch are comparatively cool, steady and cautious; the English, are, perhaps, a fair average-between the two. I remember it was not inelegantly observed l?v a friend ot mine, that an Englishman thinks and speaks; a .Scotchman thinks twice before he speaks ; and an Irishman speaks before he thinks. A lady present added, "A Scotchman thinks with his head, an Irishman with his heart." This aiiusion to impulse operating more rapidly than deliberation, is akin to .Miss Edge-worth's remark, that an Irishman may err with his head, never with his heart; the truth, however, being, that ho "obeys" bis heart, not always waiting for the dictates of .his head. .Some years ago there was a carrieature, vcry graphically portraying these grades of dif f'erence in the ardor of the three nations. An Englishman, an irishman, and a .Scotchman, were represented as looking through a confectioner's window at a beautiful young woman serving in the shop. "Oh!" exclaimed .Mr. Patrick, "do let us be alter spending a lialf-ax. Ii!, tin. rloar eravture. that we inav look ;it her conveniently, unci have a bit 61' a chat with her." "You extravagant Jog!" savs .Mr. George, in reply, "I'm sure one half of the money will do quite us well. I Jut let us go in bv all means; she's a charming girl." "Ah! wait a wee!" interposed Mr. Andrew; "ciinna ye ken it'll serve our purpose equally well just to ask the bonnio lassie to gic us two sixpences for a shilling, and inquire whore's .Mr. Thompson's house, and sicli like I We're no hungry, and may as well save the siller.''?London Dispatch. Arkansas.?At a meeting of the Democrats of Arkansas county, Ark., April ~8, 1851, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, As an expedient measure, we believe it to be right for the Southern States to secede?peacibly if possible?forcibly if necessary, and to form a Southern Confederacy " to institute a new Government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such a form us to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness," and to that end we recommend that the Convention take into consideration the means we should use to protect our honor and property. Co-operation when wr wanted it.?At a meeting of the people of Scriven county. Georgia, held at Station No. G, Central Railroad, on the fourth Monday of .May, after selecting candidates for the State Legislature, tho following resolution offered by J. 15. llayne, was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in the event South Carolina secedes from the Union of the North, and that the Government of the majority should try to intimidate her from her just right to do so, we flu' nii'iiilii'is fmmnosiriir this mcetinirdo nlediro *"v '?: o 0 * u ourselves in the lace of the world to support her cause if accessary with our rifles to the death. Extraordinary Juoenilc Freak.?At St. Louis lately, a boy 7 years old, who had been to witness a magician's performances, including the pretended cutting oil'and restoration of the nose til" one of the audience, prevailed upon his pungor sister to allow him to try the same operation with her, and in their mutual ignorance [he cutting oil' was actually done with a large curving kuile. The poor child of course gave rent to her excruciating agony in loud screams, ivhich soon brought aid; but it was not until she had fainted 4 number of times from the loss >f blood that the nose was again placed in its iroper position. It was thought at first she :ould not live, but there are hopes now of the iunl adhesion of the organ and her ultimate ecoverv, but with a frightful sear, of course. A ^ice Easiness Transaction.? Wo are inbrined that a lew days since a lady, having eve-y mark of respectable gentility about her, enured a dry goods store of .Mr. Stewart, in Ilroadivav, ami purchased a shawl valacJat "our hundred dollars, offering a ?1,000 bill oa ;liu liauk of America in payment. The clerk being suspicious of tile hill, scut it over to the cashier of the bank, who pronounced it genuine. The change was thereupon given her, iml she "took the pure based shaw.'l and had proceeded as far as the door, when she stepped back, and remarked that she thought she had better not take it until she h id consulted her husband. The $1,01)0 bill was handed to her, :ind she returned the shawl and the change she bad received, and left the storo. In the course of an hour she returned, saving she had concluded to take it, and laying down a 81,000 note, received again the change, took the Cashmere on her arm and disappeared. After the lady had gone, it was discovered that she had changed the bill, and in place of the genuine note had put oil' upon tliecleaik a counterfeit bill on the same bank, leaving .Mr. Stewart minus a valuable shawl and six hundred dollars in cash. The l.mlv would make an invaluable partner for ;i Wall-street financier.?N. Y. Day Hook.

To shut our eyes when our rights are at hazard, and suppose all will go right when it has been going wrong tor more than a quarter of a century, ^ betokens folly, stupidity, and cowardice. It is the supposition that we will bear anything rather than dissolve this Union that has embolden ; our oppressors; there is no hope of retaining |j' i what we now have, but in separating from them. ' To be subject to the will of one despot, would , be far preferable to the despotism of the majority under which we now live: an individual might ^ die, or be put out of the wav, and there might be a chance for amendment, not so with a majority, I . \V it lives on. perpetrating its measures regardless , j of any responsibility for its acts, j If South Carolina does not secede from tics l'ni ion, the effect upon her peculiar population icill I'e ! disastrous in the extreme.

B tu bren poisoned by false representations and deceitful | hopes held out to them. ^ Why should wo bt*desirous ofstil! living under ^ a political compact with our oppressors, a people j ; whose past history lias proved them so faithless ? . " ui I They hind theuisclvos hy promises, by pledges, I In compromises, to bo broken at their pleasure; j we have trusted them in times'past, only to he I deceived; have they become more honest, pure, i patriotic am! just, that we should trust them for C I the future? 'Tis true, tliev may make some j show of justice now, some promise of fair dealing, 'o j hut it will he, only the belter to secure the fruits ! of their past iniquity, which they may suppose to < * !

We are told that if we act separately we will (j aiionaie uk: ooiiiu iroin us; mat we win alienate m j the political leaders who arc keeping down the [t. | spirit of resistance is doubtless true, but to sup- ti ! pose further than this, would bo a libel on human w j nature. V Suppose we act alone and succeed, and thus If save ourselves and them, from the future so full ^ of danger while in the Union, would this take their Sl sympathy from us' Suppose that we act alone rc and fail, if we fall, their cause falls with us, and ^ then they will only regret they did not aid us, as ^ in so doing they would have saved themselves. ^ It is high time that this fallacy of driving the Sl South from ud by action, was scattered to the winds. Our mistake has beet in delay. Had S. t,| Carolina seceded immediately on the admission et of California, the South would now have been hi with us, hut we waited tor co-operation, and where w is it? and yet in the face of all litis, we are yet asked to wait!?have we lost our sense.*II we act, we shall in the end have all the South with us, and ('alilbrnia realizing her true interest will be one of us. If we do not act, we will lose our own self-respect, we will loose confidence in our- jp sclirs, and the people will turn away in disgust, ,n when you talk of State rights, State sovereignty, <>| State action ; they will have no conlideneo in any- at thing, hut the degeneracy and corruption of man. - - - ... ill .

Mr. Editor: After a hop, step and jump ver some of our upper Districts, I find myself i this ' iluena Vista." Camden, one of the Iciest towns in the State, appears to be for^otl'ii in the strife of our political agitation. The latlL* field at Gum Swamp ?the arched Mole if flobkirk?the almost palatial, though dilapilatcd headquarters of Cornwallis?and the ?a red and stately tomb of Dekalb, the dead varrior, are still the landmarks of Revolutionrv association. Its inhabitants are prond to at in such warrantees; as a precursor to their onduct when the State of South Carolina, in er sovereign capacity, pronounces herself, .'hat she is, free and independent. The good cople of this place, like the denizens of our ountry generally, tack to their masthead, as heir motto, Shakspearc's good opinion of Dianode's patriotism? "What if all Greece remain, or all Greece retire, Myself will stay till Troy or I expire." .Mr. Kditor, Camden is a very thriving place, .vhen it can get anything to do. The people ire shrewd, intelligent and entcrpii-iiig, and all hey want is a fair showing, which they get in i measure during the Winter ami Spring. I lave no doubt, in the event of the dissolution of he Union, that Camden will become one of he Lowells of the South. Her locality would >e admirably suited to manufacture. Nature ias endowed her with the necessary gitis,aad irt his or will supply enough to make the whole ^ scheme available.
