BEHI-WEESY CAMDEN JOURNAL. * Fr.un the Winusboro Register. til Letter from J. A, Woodward. tr Gentlemen: In connection with other erentlemen, I was invited to attend a celebration !" on the 4th iust, at Trapp's Store. The ex- 111 pressed object of the invitation was to obtain an exoression of oar views on the political ,U mixtions of the dav. Phvsical indisposition rendered it inadvisable that I should attend " and make an address, and supposing it wound '' be equally satisfactory, if not more so, to '' make known my views through the press, I en- . gaged to adopt that method. I cannot suppose that there was any desire j' to obtain from mean expression of my views on ^ any question the discussion of which preceded the late act of the Legislature, calling a convention of the people of the State. On all such questions, and whatever was incident to them,I have so frequently, so fully so specifically, ^ in so many forms, and at so many places expressed myself that no one desiring to know could fail to be informed how I stood. I am obliged, ? therefore, to infer that the call made upon mo had reference to issues that have arisen since the action of the Legislature. What these is- ^ sues are, I presume I iullv understand. It appears to me to be the policy of a portion of those opposed to the call of a convention to prevent its assembling, and for this purpose, ^ *' ?r tU/, I omoUtnpa nt iI < npxt ^ tiiev are in ixvur ut mo ^<3.0. ..v.... meeting, declining to pass a law indicating a time for the convention to meet. I am, for various reasons, altogether opposed to such a course. It would ho in der- j ^ ogation to the rights of the convention. The ; ^ convention, thougn not in form organized, is i yet in substance an existing body. To per- I feet it, nothing remains to be done but what is > to be done by the delegates elect themselves. % The time of its meeting constitute no part of its form or substance, but i3 a matter wholly ex- j1 ternal to it, and accidental. As to this matter, a Legislature in its next i ? session will Lear a ministerial relation to itself 'j in italato session; because the rights of a body , of delegates, superior in nature and dignity to the Legislature, are(?nvolved. The Legislature, c therefore, is bound as perfectly as in the nature u of things it is possible to place a Legislature 8 ?1~- ? rtMinmrtrtn to fix a time for the ^ uouci a . convention.to meet. The rights and.authority of the people are | r involved. iu this question. It must be assumed j f to be the will of the people that their delegates j should moot. This will has been expressed ! * since the elections by which it was their will to bring the preseut Legislature info existance.! 8 Shall Utft previous will of the people, qualified ? by the forms of the Constitution and the struc- 1 ture of the Government, be made paramount to " their subsequent will unqualified by any forms. 4 I sav unqualified, for a convention is tire peo- P PIe- " It is not stating the proposition strongly , enough to say that the Legislature cannot, in good faith, refuse to fix a time for the conven- ? rtion to meet. It has ?o right to do so, True, ! there is no legal process, by which it can be . compelled to do its duty in this particular; but .. neither is there any such process by which it can be,compelled to discharge any other duty. The constitution of a State, though the supreme. ? fair, can yet impose no other necessity-oil the . Legislature than that of a perfect moral obliga- " tion; and for the honor of civilized society I . cnnld fain hoDe that no higher necessity might , ever be needed. " Enterraning tbis sentiment, I shall not deem ^ it worth while,to argue what i incline to believe n is true?that the Legislature being in default, t the delegates elect would have the right to a rueet and organize; and, having done so, would c constitute a legitimate convention of the jhjo- m pie of South Carolina, ft is conceded that thia would not be true of bodies jjwbject to tj higher jurisdictions, and possessing only ieri.a- n tive authority; but it does not, therefore, follow ^ that it-would be false, in reference to a conventiori whose nothority is supreme over all others, and, except in a very large sense, underived; j| for a convention is the people. c i take it for granted then that when the mat- n ter shall we duly considered, theru will be found h no respectable b-?dy of people, and no body t of respectable- people, willing to oppose the V meeting of the convention. i But supposing it to have met? the quesiion of u' absorbing interest is what shall the convention u do? In case ho other" State be ready to co-ope.-- t} ate. shall it ordain secession or decline to do so, ;l and only take such measures as may be deemed j> oxpedierlt, in order to procure co-operation. jt In relation tothis matter, my iirst observation a is that it seems inappropriate, under existing v< circumstances, to call for the formal and public c< announcement of the opinions and views of individuals. The question has been committed t! to a convention, that body lias already been v< chosen, and when it meets, it will possess ab- ft solute authority to decide. What matters it ai what my individual opinions are? Now, the si question what my position is, is quite a differ- n out thing. Every man, both public and private, I 11; should hold a position and let it he known. I ti do occupy a position, and it is this, that every \\ citizens of ttic Stato' should abide the decision si of the convention. . . . u To demand of me the publication of my 0 individual sentiments as to what the conven t( tion should do, and yet deny to me the right to c; send with them all the reasons upon which they might bo founded, would be an outrage. All | ^ will say so. But should I stale these reasons J 0 it? ?li?ir flfRmt. he inroiunatable 1 c' uiey ... , 1 with mv position, and bo calculated to drive hundreds of very good men, ol partially en lightened consciences, from the position which s! 1 nave said every good citizen should occupy, bi natnply: implicit obedience to the supremo au- c< thorify of tne State. (Jod forbid that 1 should ' tr Bay anything that would strengthen the hands B 01 wiooe, ii be any, who purpose treason <li against the State. But further, should I state in all .ho reasons for opinions i may entertain, 1 n< migi t give very useful information tp Northern c< politic-ios, and greatly embarrass friends in w other Stales.

I asked liiin why Northern politicans al'ays managed to carry their point? He relied: "It is because they have a system of oliey and plan of operations that the Southrn people never find out. We are addicted to icon'inent babbling. We devise a system of oliey, and then have it put in the newspapers, irgettiug the Spanish proverb, that "policy dented is no longer pollic v.'' He then proceed J to relate, with a mirth fulness unusal in him, a erv amusing and ludicrous instance. 1 know it is a gallant and brilliant tiling for public man to proclaim from a house-top all e knows and all he guesses at, and to be the rat to say what perhaps he has found out a reat many head men are going to say after a ttle while. It is captivating to the youthful le imaginative, the enthusiastic, the marvelous; ratifying to weak and small natures, whose ar6 itch more for some entertaining piece of ows than their hearts burn towards a great parotic achievement It is, too, a grateful and rofitable thing to a public man to have it every ?'here said of him, he is a bold, dashing fellow, /ho has nothing to conceal; the people know /hero to find him; but gentlemen, what is it /orth to the people to know where to find any articular man, if all that wisdom and prudence nd patient self-denial have provided for them e dashed and squandered by his folly? There's question to be answered. Tbeso reflections are submitted not with any iew to protect myself from answering on the reat question which at this instant appears to bsorb the public mind. My sole object being o show how imposible it is for a-public man, specially in a conjuncture like that of the exiting controversy with the North, and between iiffereut parties in the South, to divulge all lie reasons that may govern his course, without becoming a minister of ruin, instead of a - - . AIT .11 iselul public servant. Alia i wouiu never cwnent to bold office upon such conditions that vould oblige mo to becdme contemptable in my nvn estimation ; to incur tho guilt of defeating ny own cherished hopes for our deliverance, ,nd subject me to be condenied as a fool or a ;nave by evary man of discernment and com* etcnt knowledge of political affairs. I am not I trust understood to be speaking of that ocial interchange of opinion with friends and onstituents, which should always be full and rank. It is a misfortune that it cannot he lore so. It is only by such intercourse that ho people can truly know where to find any ublic man. And I submit to all who know je whether it is one of my faults that I do ot speak with suficient freedom; whether I ave ever been found waiting to know how the nrrent was running. In position, 1 am at this ime in a minority in South Carolina, and am hero voluntarily; and he assured that if discar!cd at home, there is no indemnity to he hoped or from the Federal Union, You will pardon me, gentlemen, for induling in these remarks. 1 nin not ignorant W, nd cannot he insensible to certain injurious nputatious made against mo during an unavoiable and painful absence from the State, and bough entertaining no sentiment of revenge, etermined as I am, it*possible, to stand aloof rom the political strifes with which we arc areutened. 1 felt itdue to myself, and thought it light be of some advantage to the community, o give some general view of the principles nd views bv which i have regulated my public oiuluct; and wherein I have been found fault ritb, 1 have thought it perfectly fair to scniiuire the imputed merits of that class of policans who have been placed in contrast with jyself with a view to my disparagement, tut with these small griefs 1 am now done, if thers are. To recur then to the question?what shall ie convention do? There is no convention apable of acting now. The Convention is ot now in secession, but is to meet and act ereafter. The conditions under which it is !? act are partly within the womb of time. V hat they are to be none but a prophet could iresoe. I cannot forese>*. The Legislature id not foresee, nor do the delegates eleet j the convention foresee. In postponing ic meeting of the convention, the Legislature ppearsto have looked to the probability ofimortant dovelopements intervening. Of courso was ex[>ectod that such developements would ffect the discretion and decision of the con2?tion. It would be absurd to suppose the ontrary. Now what I ask on my own behalf is, that ie freedom and indulgence allowed the con?ntion may bo conceded to me. I cannot irekuow what it should do. In the day of its ction it will be entitled to tny views, and lall have them freely and fully. But, geutleien, there are some reflections proper to be lade before hand, relative to tho course of aeon of the convention, and the principles bv hicli it should be governed. The convention lould be considered a tree body. If it met tomrrow. it should meet with perfect freedom f will; much more should it be so, where it is ) meet and act under unforeseen contingenies. A Legislature cannot bind a convention. I can only call a convention when some mat>r not within its own jurisdiction is deemed f sufticieut importance to be submitted to a invention. The Legislature might entertain an opinion -a very confident opinion?that n convention lould do thus and thus. Hut this would not ind the convention. If it did, why the idle jremony of calling one? Why not leave it ) the Legislature to act definitely and finally. ..t I CO., tl, ? i .L. I ?v uvu i. oaj uiiii a uu:ivciiiiuii is huuvu ine ietation of uny other bo 'v of men, I do not lean that it is supreme over all things. It is Jt superior to duty, Duty is greater than any invention or any people. And what duty is, isdotn supported be courage is alone conipent to prescribe. And while a convention is supreme over all anches of government, it ought to stand susrior to tbc interests and vanities and passions 1 'individuals. That any man's famo or reputa-' tion would be marred by this or that course of actiou, would not bind the convention to abstain from such a course. So if a number of persons have imagined themselves to know before hand what the convention will do, and have ventured to bring it under pledges to the world, these individuals most not hold the convention under obligations to save their sensibilities, how ever patriotic, at every hazard, to the public interest. Again, some have undertaken to assert in the most confident manner what is to take place with the Federal Government hnd with other southern states, in the event of separate state action. But if, when the occasion shall be at hand, the convention, with better opportunities of judging, should see things in a wholly defiero'iit light, and there upon should deem it proper for the State to become better assured of the conditions of affairs within, these persons must consent to stand convicted of want of political forecast, and not claim as matter of personal right, to be condemned only upon actual experiment, however disastrous the experiment might prove to the end we all" aim at. Nor can I supprse that any member of the convention will consider that any declaration of purpose made by him, beforehand while a candidate, under the competition, excitement and pressure | of an election, will rest upou him as a parai mount rule ofaction. I should expect, of course : that one placed in such a situation would find I 110 difficulty in couscnting to bear the little per: sonnl inconvenience and embarrassment which i the highest ends of patriotism might require him : to hear. We all profess to desire and to aim at co-operation; most of us, advocate state action, when no alternative is left. Let the convention, then, be lett free to conform its action to these principles, and let us hope and believe that it will exhibit that fiimne^s and wisdom which befit so dignified a body, charged with an issue of j 6uch vast moment, both to ourselves, to our sisI tor stuff-*, and to our common posterity through generations to come. In my opinion the sooner the convention is called together the better. Let what is to be done be done as soon as possible. We say we are waiting for other States, and yet have held and still hold a convention in terrorem over the North, to restrain ihem from any incautious act thut might drive other States into co-operation, and strengthen the hands and embolden the heaits of the friends upon whom we rely to bring : up other States. The people of Georgia re; soned very differently. They dreaded new agj gressions, and, as a consequence, co-operation. : Their object was to save the Union. Their j convention, therefore, adopted the most strini gent and threatening resolutions as to the future. They were alarmed to see rival parlies in the North, flushed with recent brilliant and easy victory, about to be driven in their heedless competitions into the most reckless course of conduct Their friends North admonished them of the danger and how to prevent it. They took the only sensible course the case admitted ol, and with the more efficient aid of South Carolina have thus far been successful. It is useless to d?Miy the force of this reasoning. The truth bad better'be seen and admitted, that, no matter what was intended, the policy aud position ot'South Carolina are directly eppugnant teco-oj?cratiou; and if this Im not the position which the people of the State desire to occupy ? it it be our purpose to give full scope to tlie policy of co operation, while we hold in reserve 1 that of isolated secession, the convention can ! alone bring into harmony and reconcilement thc^e two tilings now so antagonistic, so that whether the convention is to ord.iin secession, or to take measures with a view to co-operation, the sooner it meets and acts the better. Co isidered as existing and not acting, the co'iveui tion has been and is a pure nuisance. True, | in despite of the convention, aided by the moiia! ccs of Georgia, the next Congress may renew j the war upon us, but it will be much more like-1 ly to do so otherwise; so that in any view you i may take the existence of the convention, without action, i3 a positive evil. I havo now gentlemen, brleBy expressed what I think the most important views and reflections relative to the present position and future course of the State. It is needless to dis' guise that I have written under great embarrassment. \ ou yourselves would feci it somewhat a hardship, perhaps, "to be called upon to give advice in a matter where the piincipal steps had already been taken, and taken contrary to j your own remonstrance; making the past difT rnAin VAI1 Kflfi nni?ima/ul unrl I'MMlwr CICUl IIVIII J |IUI|IUOVU, Him iuj k.q u fresh foundation for a future different from the future which you had made your prepara | tioiis to meet. What advice I am able to give I give freely, hut iny dilliculty is that I do not know what advice to give, and I therefore claim the indulgence which is conceded to the convention itself, and which those who ask my ad- i vice claim on their own behalf, to judge what; the convention shall do when the cunvention meets. .

WARREN, Editor. ' ETAgricola shall appear in our next, we shall always be happy to hear from our friend. Mr.. Woodward's Letter, May be lound in to-day's paper. It will no doubt be read with interest, by our readers who are his immediate constituents. Mr. Woodward has always been since we have known him, politically, an able defender of Southern rights. Southern Rights Co-Operation Meeting. We learn from the Charleston papers of Wednesday last, that a meeting was held the evening before in the Hibernian Hall, of those "who are in lavor of Co-operation and opposed to separate State action, for the purpose of resistance under existing circumstances." John Rntledge, Esq., was appointed President, sixty Vice Presidents, and six Secretaries were appointed. Letters were read from Judge Cheves, Hon. J L.Orr and Col. James Chesnut, jr. The meeting was addressed by Hon. A. P. Hayne and Hon. R. W. Barnwell. Resolutions were adopted against separate State action. Of course this was to be expected. That Charleston is bitterly opposed to measures of resistance, such as separate action, is a fact notoriously known and admitted in the country, but, that Charleston is not exactly South Carolina, is quite as notorious, and to us very gratifying, We would net be surprised if nearly a majority could be found there, who are opposed to action of any kind; who cry out Co-operation, merely to hide their vile submissionism. We think just as much as ever o four opinions, and if the State sees proper to about face, without wishing to change her position, and really does so, and disgrace- herself and every man iu it, changfshis tune, and comes down to the mark of Y ankee'doodle, its no matter to us?that will not make it right. We believe this co-operation we hear so much about, will never be effected until some State moves, until some State has the courage to lead off. Will South Carolina be that State ? time will show. A Convention of her people has been appointed; delegates have been elected, and a majority are pledged to separate secession. Newspaper Co-operation. The Augusta Republic and the Georgia Constitutionalist, have been consolidated. They were both excellent papers, Southern in their character, and as true as steel. We wish the new firm abundant success. Mr. Bowen. Agent for Monk's New Map of North America, Has arrived in our town, and will be happy to wait upon those who have already subscribed for the same. It is needless for us to enter into detail in recommending these invaluable Charts, commended as they have been highly by the press throughout the State.

Auxiliary Southern Rights Association. We see by Wednesday's Mercury, that this As! sociation in Charleston, held its first regular ; Monthly meetingon Monday evening last, at which I the following resolutions were offered by Major Edward Manigault, from the Central Executive j Committee, and prefaced with a few remarks, j forcibly sustaining the principles they advance: I I. Kesoivea, That in tne opinion or mis as1 socin'ion South Carolina has takeu her stand against the misnamed Compromise measures, to which, consistently with her honor, she cat: never submit. 2. Resolved, That the Co-operation of the Southern States upon past issues, although much desired, by all the people of South Carolina, appears to this Association at present to be at least improbable. 3. Resolved, That in the opinion of .his Association the State of South Carolina cannot, without dishonor and imminent danger to the rights and liberties of her people, wait for any new issue to be presented, and failing in a reasonable time to obtain the co-operation of the QAiitkarn ohnnl/l wifrlirl\tr nlnnn ' ,'VJH HIV.

At Home, July 26th. 1851. Well, dear Journal, here I am once again after a very pleasant trip to Winnsboro', where (as you already know) I went as a Delegate to the Grand Division. I have been a member of, and been present with, large representative bodies, but I must say, that the one in Winnsboro' for the number, was as imposing as any I ever attended. There sat our G. W. P., who presided over our deliberations with his usual urbanity and dignity, and with his every energy enlisted in behalf of the cause of temperance. Long may his useful life be spared to exert that influence on all who may come in contact 4 with it. \ The whole session was characterized by that gentlemanly deportment which is always ex pected of a Carolinian. It would have gratt jg fied you to hear such vivid and glowing (JescripJ ? J tions as were uttered by the several D. G. W. P's. from various quarters of the State, announcing the fact, that tiie influence of King Alcohol was daily crumbling before the powerful energies of such, as a Wylie and others. I cannot forbear to mention that our G.' VV. P. was assisted by our Bro. Jno. G. Bowman as D. G. W. P., equally as unflinching in his devotion to the cause, as the foremost. I am sorry to say, that the labors of his occupation compelled him to resign his office as Grand Lecturer for the State, duties of which as Editor, you have the best reason to say, leaves but little time for any other business. Too will, however, se? the published proceedings of our meeting a full report of it After the close of oor qoaiterly session, we accepted an invitation from Fairfield Division, and marched in procession to the Methodist Church, where we were richly compensated in tiPfirillir nn nddrees ftf 4ft mimitca rlnmtinn.. from Bro. Picket, of Vigilant Division. I tell you I have never met with a person for the first lime with whom I was so agreeably disappointed. "He is a bite," and as true as steel every' inch ; a man destined to exert a favorable influence not only in the temperance cause, but in the Church of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, of which, I understand lie is a Minister. ^ ^ Bro. Picket was followed by our old Nest6#s^f ^ and notwithstanding it was au exceedingly "hot day, it was surprising to see with what zeal and fervency of spirit he entered the list with vizor down, and lance in, rest demolishing all opposition; in truth, his reasoning and arguments "mixedup" \v;thanecdotes (for which he ' I- \ _ 1 - _ aI_ . ft - * _ il A T I is so iamousj sucn as me nousc mat jhck built and such like, were conclusive beyond all j contradiction. It was cheering to see sacb an array of tho Fair of Winnsboro*, wlio, every where I have been and at all times, appear deeply interested hearers. During the intervals of speaking, we were refreshed by several beautiful pieces played and sung from the gallery of the Church. The melodeon, from which emanated sounds the most sweet and soothing tc the soul, showed that the keys were touched by a master hand. Stranger as I was in Winnsboro, I have left it with many pleasing recoi- _ lections. The "Sons" of Fairfield deserve the highest commendation for their determination o i .. .. J . to make the stay of their visitois pleasant, and I fur one, Mr. Editor, say, they did it *eH. Yours, in L. P. & F. TEMPERANCE.
