JOHN INGRAM, S. K. I). Aug. 12, W ll I,ul From tile South Carolinian. To Col. John S. Preston. No. 3. Snt?Having offered some comments upon f tone and spi;it of your last correspondence the great political topic which now so intsely engages the public ntitid, with a porat of the people of Richland district, in which 'iideavored to point out, with eourtesey. some jectioiis, both of temper and doctrine, to licit i' is exposed, I now resume the subject th a view of demonstrating the absolute tiessity. as a duty i.ieumbent on them, of taking e step they did. You did them no more than Mice when you "assured yourself that no mifined purpose peitained to their coiiiinmiica>n" of the l.'ith instant; altiiough the hypoI'tical inquiry which almost immediately folwcd. in reference to the "basis ??t the struggle r the election of si deputy to a Southern Coness,' might seem to iiuj Iv a suspicion of fir sincerity aiul the indulgence ?>l some uu vorcd design. Taking it lor granted, how- I or, that t!ie tribute to their candor, which ?ir language convened was really intended expressed, the task of unfolding frankly and mlesslv the true grounds of the<r movement mains for more complete execution. They asserted with truth, that you had licen ruinated in the public print* as a deputy to e Southern Congress, and that, "confiding in ' e soundness of your pi incijiles, they had been sirous of easting tin ir sutiiages in your fair." By this they obviously intended to an* >unee to you their belief of a eoucui ieuce of anion between you and themselves alike counting the emnmity ami pioximity of the dan rs to which their State was exposed, and the ode and measuio ??f permanent ami effectual | tricatiou. In the face of the indisputable j i<i disastrous delinquency of Virginia, (once! minus, it lit we fear now forever fallen,) to hieli vim are iioiinc! I?v the lies of nativity ami interest in that In-lief, tney found cause of td and solid satisfaction. W'eio they justified ; it ? To answer tliis interrogation tne record \ ust lie coiisiil'ed. In your speech, as reported tc the public in i nir letter of the 14th inst. to the coininittee ! Incli I ad addressed you on behalf of some of nir fellow citizens of hieblmd, delivered tluig tile last session of the Legislature, (1 sup se on the projxTsition for tne call ol tne con* iitioii, and the policy of incorporating with at measure provision for the tSouthero Convss.t referred to for the |iurjM?se of showing ;tl they had no toin' eitlier "surprised pained" by the positions ol' your Barnwell iter, it may be remarked that lew, it any of i m beatd that speech, and as it bad never 'en published, of course had not lead it. But r, take it as you have presented it, uitnout the mimehtury ot your recent letups, it is res ethillv submitted mat llieieis veiv little in it tlier of ihetoiie. m logic, il any at all, to which ey would object, it is rccoiiimcmted lor the ice and finish of its eloquence, and, " in the ;?inis sound in its doeliiae. \ ou declare the ' ?|uest on with us to he a utow one" the *pr? seriation of the Union the presetvalioii oi tin* institution of tlateiy that tlie existence ot hoth was a*t iiicompattlily"?that tile "Union must perish or the elecuts of slavery be exlingubl.ed" ? tin*t "votir iud was made up"?t.iat "you gave your ice f r that separation which yo:? believed one could give us safety"?that "you had uuted the cost, every item of it, and tnal lor VI U'4lfu CiOllll* 111 wt ! */{ I'll! il | '/ ,ril' nngli it might lit* ilangciuuD, dilticuil and inn* l?U-;" \\ imt man ol tin* Male acUon party, eu tin* most eager lor action, could carp at is or any *?t it. Ciueh sentiments embodied such language, ami accompanied uitn tiio aces ol liif ellective a. I, which y-u have eul* rated ami mastered, at the moment of their livery, must have fallen, as they certainly <i lull, upon the heart of Carolina like Hashes lire, transporting her with the kindling ami all oiqueiing power of eloquence ami truth.? mi, in too luither examination of the speech question, thev have been una hie to liml any anions announced or recommendations subitted tending in any appreeiablcdegree tosunte the enthusiasm which the lei vour of your atory and the 'igor of your argument. Ucvo il to a cause equally ju?t and glmious, awa lied in tlu-ir lio.-Mims. Whether vou counsel I against raslmcM and i>i favor of tii?? jirae re ul true courage, w isdom, ami deliberation; liellicr vou inculcated the duly ?l avoiding (necessary difficulty ami danger in taking the !>t great step ot deliverance and safety tiial access ui'iy be insured," or the moral as well political necessity of "exhausting all honor* ile means to secuie the eo ojierati.ui of those ales equally interested in the m lemu act," ui never failed to stiikc a responsive ebord in ! hearts of'your neighbors and lelloiv.citi us of Kiel.land lately in correspondence with iu. nor to secure tin* entire sympathies of all to lovers of the acknowledged interest and nor of South Carolina. If vou* argument on the occasion in mind d any point or force, (and it unquestionably d both.) it was to Ih< seen ami felt in the ilily and address with which yon urged the ni.tr viu'dii'iicv. and necessity of a I Mv* " uitlieru Congress ;is a measure that would id powerfully, il' not triumphantly, towaids wciii i11o ijio simultaneous action of the mtli in effecting a d.sruption of the Union, if tiie formation ot a Southern Confederal* v her only uifallihle and invulnerable lianicr ajr.bt the movements ??f the fanatic masses ol ? tree States, who hud succeeded in driving r com] lotelv out ol jiowcr in the Federal uiiicils, and were ahoiit to devote her to an ei throw as absolute as appnlliiio. Such, si.-, were tiie scojie and tendency of ur aide and eloquent effort last December on e Representative floor, and you were success1~-the (Southern Cun^iegg was secured uu fur I as this State could secure it, in which, if it ever assemble, she will he fully represented. And may it not he asserted with perfect truth, no matter what difference of opinion may have prevailed before, that since its adoption all parties have acquiesced in the measure on which, until lately, ail stood as a common platform. .More, is it not indisputable that a large portion of the State action party urged it upon all the grounds that wore taken in its hchait during its progress through the Legislutuie ? On* dotihtcdly it-is true, finally, then, harmony and conceit, so far as the Southern Congress may lie considered, were secured, ami no one can in candor impute to the separate iStnte action paity the want of the utmost fidelity to the action of the Legislature on that subject. They \ desire and intend that it shall have a fair and j unembarrassed trial. It is to be lamented that j von ili'tvirl< <{ from the nl.-itthmi on which I you placed yourself before the Legislature, and it must be a matter of unmitigated surprise that you should now'resoit to your sjKt'cli before that body to vindicate your consistency, and to remove the contradictious of some of your effusions in another form. In proceeding with my task, it becomes my duty to review your connection with the resolution of the Richland Southern Rights Association ot the ii'-hl March last, which you aided in constructing, and to which you gave your unqualified adhesion; and that w hat may be remarked on that point may be readily understood. that resolution shall be literally quoted. It is as follows: "Rexolrttl, As the opinion of this Association, that concert of action between two or more of the Southern States, through the pro- I posed Southern Long ess, or otherwise, for the j purjrnse of lesistiog tiie aggressions of the j J'VtleraI Government and the Aoillieru JSta'es, j is an object in the highest degree to l?e desired ! and most earnestly lo be sought; bat taut if such concert of action cannot be brought about, tfe State of South Carolina, acting through the convention of the people, whicit has been provided for by .'aw, ongul to secede alone." it is obvious that the Richland Association, I in adopting tiiat resolution, intended it to be a ' | clear and unambiguous expression of tiieirI : opinion on tiie points it embraced. Such the i Committee ol fcaiety, who repoitedit. intended ! it and rega.ded it lo lie, ami undoubtedly when 'you expressed your henity concurrence in it j ' your uiiderstnluting i f it was entirely perspic- | uons and coincided with th.it of tlie couiumtee 1 from which it emanated, and ot the Association which adopted it i and to 8UU|>osc anytuiug like a tiick or trap ori either side would Ir* to im|?cMcU tile candor of nouorabtc gentle: men in a transaction of deep and pervading | ! public interest, 1.1 a m.tuner not Co he tolerated lor a moment. The resolution then stands | plainly and lai.ly iad'orc the public, its own inlet prcter, without doubt or myslincatiou, to! tally inde|?eridcut of any collateral aid lor its consliuctlcii. its letter and 8jii.ii invoke tae | ! co-ojieration ol'liie .Southern states in tnis, luc tiuu-ul their mutual alarming ami imminent |>e? il. It delilicrately refers to tae doutucru Congress as a means ol seour'iig tast co ojieration for the purpose of' resisting tae aggressions of the Federal Government and tae .>o. taera ."Mates?declares tiiat it is ail object in tae I liigiiesl decree to he desired and most earnestly ; to lie sought, ami finally, conceit of action tailing, that cioiitu taoliaa Ot'Uttr to skckdk AL'iNK through the autre nt ion of the ftcopLe, prortdeed for by lute; or, to adopt toe language of your Decern lier speech, "it then none tail join us, our destinies urn in our howls?'he Confederacy must be. diss deed.' You might well give your earnest support to the resolution | in question, and also hold luc sentiments you uttcicd in tin* Legislature, lor if lucre he any I discrepancy between their doctiines, it is inure ! suadowv taan suhst.mti.il, and to discover il i inu t expose you ingenuity to extravagant tortures. ouch, taen, was your position as declared In-fore the public through your speech ia ttic Legislature, and before your own immediate fellow-citizens, through your connection w nil, and approval of, the resolution of tac viid of March, it was clearly that of a disunioni*t, with the co-operation of other States ol the I ciouth i: it could be obtained; if it could not lie I o >l.oiied, men tn.it ol a nisi'.MOMsi' with Onula j I'a.'illi a A CONK ACriNO TIIUOCOII tll.it ALltUAIIY KLKCTl.D CoNVKNTlUN, AND UKfOilK U* FINAL AllJ l'ltNMkNT. it is manifest, then, that portion of your fellow citizens ol Kicblaud who lately addressed you, had lite most abundant ground fur "contiding in the soundness of your principles," to "liunii lliey had a 'right to legald you as agreeing with tacin io the main in opinion, aim that _) ou were prepared to act with tneiit." l'lie inquiry, taeieiore now is whether your Barnwell letter ol liie "J 1th ult. contains any declaration, duel line, or reasoning which unexplained presents you as stand ug oil different ground liom tnat "luey supposed you to occupy." if it tines, then its peiusai could not excite any otn or emotions toon those ol "surpiise and pain." fardou us if we declare to you that in our judgment tuc denial taat that loltor does contain a total abandonment of)our previous position as aniiouiicrd in your spocon. and as coiitirniod liy your voluntary anu ailuiiltod connection wit.i the resolution ui the ot .tiarcu, as well us l?v your repeated and pointed decla ra ions, evinced a political haidlnood seldom practised even by tlie boldest and moat indurated veteran. Almost in the iirst parugutpii you declare as follows: "1 agree uitu yon thoroughly in toe beliel that the separate action n| rfooln Carolina under present circumstances, ("I mean without co-operation actually established,'*) can do no good, to a cause 1.1 wnicu we are all so much interested, and may do incalculable evil." The above language seems to have been quoted from thf fetter of iaviu- < tion, except that portion enclosed in brackets, which is evidently your own interpretation of the words, "under present circumstances," and which interpretation, it is believed, is the first which has been ventured before the public upon competent authority. Without co-operation actually established! Ominous phraseology truly. It is asked of you, in all candor and resja'ct, when before, and on what occasion, in what speech, letter, or consultation did you ever employ equivalent language or Lake the position it necessarily arid inevitably impiiec;Your meaning can be nothing more nor lessthan that South Carolina shall neither secede alone after " exhausting all honorable means to obtain co-operation," without success, before the adjournment oi tier convention, nor ever, unless the has received assurances from some of her sUtcr States of the South through all the sol* emu forms of legislative enactments or convene tioual oid ilia rices, that they will break from the Union with her or after lier, and joiu io the for* matioii of a Southern Confederacy, What a jewel is consistency! According to the ideas you now propagate, neither the evidence of the public press, nor of Southern Rights Associa* lions, nor executive correspondence, nor popu* lar demonstrations in the other States, will suffice to induce you to aid in bringing up this State to the culminating point of secession I? Acts oi the legislatures or the ordinances of conventions are demanded as evidences of co* operation hy the other States of the South, be* fore South Carolina shall date to move, and,if assurances in such form are never afforded, t'.i mi these chains of our servitude and these insignia of our dishonor shall clank in oar eare and poison our eyesight for all time, and be? come more galling and conspicuous as years increase! This, this, sir, is the co-operative doctrine in part of your Barnwell letter; but, alas! alas, it is not the whole. _ "Brutus had rather be a villager, % Than to repute himself a ecu of Rome ^ Under such hard condition* as this tiuflP is like to lay upon us." Tin? writer will continue his comments to* morrow; in the meantime,you are remitted to your reflections. PALMETTO. TI1E ADMINISTRATION AND THECUBAN INSULT. The Petersburg Democrat asks the following questions: "t .'an the Fillmore Cabinet be so careless of the honor of the couut: y, as not to resent an insult to its Hag?" We will say ta ear cotemporary in replyYes this Fillmore cabinet can be so careless, asnot to resent an insult to the Aug of our country. Ami i tne Democrat will wait, a little time will prove our reply to hiiu to be correct 'lit* "honor of the country" with the Fillmore administration consists entirely in the prospetts oi tiiat adiniiiistration for perinananee in oifice. And Cue plan they have proposed to themselves to ousiain that honor is to go about electioneering at vVstoring places and capital cities. Honor i, nice J ?inaait indeed. Why Fill more cares aa uiucn about these things, as he does about tne prediction that the world in two hundred millions of years is to be destroyed by a comet. i' lii.nore would prefer now to see the Captain General of Cuba victorious, notwilhsiauding the Captain nag outraged humanity, laws, and decency in the insult he has o fie red the United dtites. lilkuore indignant at an insult! Did you ever hear of a coin-blooded Yankee schemer 01 tuese days become indignant? Astonishing triead i'ryor, aslonishiiig in you to put the question you have, with your kuowle 'ge, of the "in ilcnat composing the present Cabinet. Bui i suppust you did it to draw attention to this our.u gang?tnis peace-at-a!l-hazards cabinet. We are willing to wager our existence that if this Cabinet has had its attention arrested by CuiJ.ni a [fairs lately, it has sent despatches toon.

Will this be endured !" 1 es, quietly, if not approvingly, endured.?* The Government hear* of it we have but little doubt, witu satUfactiou.

And can we expect any thing from such a Govern* luentI Tue National Intelligencer bas said "a wiaa providential dispensation placed l illiuore in the Presidential cuair."
