JOHN INGRAM, S. K. D. Aug. 13, to U THE LIBRARYBV SOUTHF.V. My days among this dead are passed, Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old; My never failing friends are thpy; With whom I converse day by day. With them I take delight in weal, " j And seek relief in woe: And while I understand and ft el How much to them I owe, My cheeks have often been bedewed With tears of thoughtful gratitude. Mv thoughts are with the dead, with them i I live in long past years; . ' Tijeir virtues love, tln-ir faults condemn, ; i Partake their hopes and fears; ,J And from their lessons seek and find i1 Instruction with an humble mind. My hopes are with the dead!

J To Coi. John 8. Preston. I No. 3. j Sik ? When a citizen like vourself. surroan. , (led uith the most auspicious adjuncts of ( wealth, connections, and social position, of highly acceptable manners in general inter- ^ course, of graceful and commanding exterior, rnd, withal, intellectual qualities alike captivating and imposing, voluntarily yielding to the J impnlses of laudable ambition or to flattering ^ public solicitation, consents to enter the list for |x>|Hilar honors, bis advent is sure to be hailed wah a very general and cordial applause.? ^ ! Such was tiie reception with which you were greeted by the people of Richland on your first g entrance upon your political career, and it was cause or real satisfaction to them that their endorsement of your entire worthiness of public promotion and confidence eoutiibuied even a little to seen re for you a more general and flattering approval. This consideration, now that some of them differ from you on the allabsorbing political question, powerfully stiniuI bites them in the effort to justify themselves j for thjit difference on solid grounds, that it may g ut a|>|iaiciu tticsv in# auiisiiri jiui jiv^t mwiva v? ^ control* them. Continued retereii'-e, therefore, . to the record is essentially necessary. In a preceding communication the effort was | i made to establish their justifleatron by show- t j ing (although you have declared youraell no v ,, ; to belong to the Party of Co-operation) that j ; they hail abiindant grounds lor believing that ( i you were of the Pmty of Action precisely in the j same sense in which they claimed to be; and a j the proofs on this point were deduced from , , your speech in December last in the Legisla- c ture, from your connection with the resolution t of the Richland Southern Rights Association v of the 2t!d of March, and your undisguised and j oft-repeated declarations in a less public form; j whilst the evidence of ultnr change id'position f j on your part was sought for.in your Barnwell , j letter, it is necessary that that communica- ;, { timi should lie opened again, and if is now ( I about to be done. 21 In declaiming against the hnzaids and hor- t rors of independent action by South Carolina, 1 i for the redress of her wrongs, which you ad- t j mit to be intolenilile, vou announce the novel ! s | ami startling principle heretofore nnknov 11 to \ ! the code of* the patriotic statesman, that to take \ counsel hoth of your fears and your interest is | ! commendable. It cannot be disguised that the declaration by you of such a rule for the gui- c dance of your j uMio conduct struck with pain- r ful and tearful violence on the already laeerri- ! , ited and bleeding heart of South Carolina; and 1 j your ftllow citizens who lately addressed you 1 f have sought in vain for nut: oritv to support i c j the maxim, and for the examples in the history i j I of heroes and martyrs of civil liberty in their j ,, j own and other countries. Your rights as a j ; free thinker in politics, they would bv no means . 6 |.invade; most unquestionably you are to be in- j rdulged in the utmost Jatitude of original iude- t i^ieodent thought, arid, if you choose, you may t sacrifice solidity to the seductions of more no. t velty, in the construot.on of your political creed. t The alarm they felt however, at the annuueia- !. tion of what seemed to them to be a danger- ;, ous, poisonous, and fatally mischievous princi ! , pie, hoth in theoretical and practical politics, j at any juncture, and especially at one so por- j teutons as the present, was not the less deep ? and pervading. Previous to the appearance of ( your Barnwell letter, they had not been advis- j ed that such a principle formed a component | part of your political education, and, as such, ( that you cannot contemplate its inculcation up- . on the popular mind of your State at a period s eminently demanding the very highest exhibi , tions of disinterested patriotism, courage and . put lie virtue. They believe that no passions , imuminne nr more del tcrinus to the I I1IV v ... growth of a vigorous heroic and sell-sacrificing ( public spirit than are " le r and interest," and ( that those passions and the generous and ex- . at ted qualities of a patriotic and wise statesman ( cannot fl uuisli on the same soil. They are , iinpri so with the conviction that the foititer | wool ine italdy stifle and destroy lite latter, | and Ho.oty ntteilv corrupt and pervert any ( mind or heart which might " take counsel" of | them. Yon are invoked then, by the blood of the i Revolution which you have inheiited ? hy all i the sanctified associations that gloriously efus- i ter around your name?hy the undying memo- i ry of a Patrick Henry, whose voice will ring through tuqe in the thuuher oi' the 010km* tiou "Give me Liberty or Unith," to fly spet dily, to fly now, front such a sentiment so dan gerous to the purity of a patriot, and so derog atory to the digiiity of the statesman and th. honor of a canonized ancestry. * It is demand ed of you by the hopes of your offspring and o. your country. Certainly, sir, no such senti merit can he congenial to jour nature? it coub not have been horn- with-you; in some evil o; unguarded moment it entered the citadel 01 your heart by surprise, and if individuals alto getlier humble might venture upon advice to one sn exalted, they would recommend that it he thrust out without delay as a pestilent ami baleful intruder, for they had fondly.and proud lj' hoped that j'ou at least, were ready to ilius trate the example of Hancock, '.he Puritan, and Carrol, the ( atholic, millionaires and patriots nlike, who struck their natnesin broad and flaming characters to the Declaration of iodepen> [Jen(fence, pledging their lives, their fortunes . and their sacred honors to the cause in which which they were engaged. In the further analysis of your "Barnwell" letter, it is painful to discover, while you re jognise the "indisputable and fundamental principle of the American system of federal repubicanisrn,*' the sovereignty of the States, that you at the same time recognise it as an orthoiox and safe principle in theory only, but ex eediugly dangerous and appalling in practice. The earnestness of your declamation on this mint can only be accounted for by relening it o the prevalent dominion in your mind of your 'fears and your interests." Pause, and inquhe )f yourself, whether these have not inflamed our imagination to a degree fatal to the healthul exerci-e of your sounder and more reliable acuities ? Nor can it be satisfactorily villained in any other way how your mind ha< leeu conducted to the conclusion that the inerposition of the admitted light of separate seession by South Carolina. Buffering as 6he is inder the most alarming usurpnti his, is to be allowed by the " consolidation of Federal tower and the consequent early abolition of lavery." .It is impossible that the utterance of such I >pitiion should not have struck your fellow- I itizeus with 'surprise and pain," lor they had | t very ground to believe that you attributed to j ,1 In* "fundamental principle** in question a sa- ? 'ing and conservative vitality and power which vas alone sutiicieiit to restrain the centralizing :i endency of our federal system, and therefore a he abiding and invulnerable safeguard of the in s litution of slavery. It is respectfully asked, c ben, how long since your opinion on this suli- I ect underwent a change? On what occasion I interior to the appearance of your Barnwell ? etier did you make a public auiioaneciiieiit of i he doet-ine it contains?" And wneu, before, I lid you declare that in your judgment the prac- i ical assertion of the riglit of secession by tioutn i Jarolina. or by any State, for causes complete ( ind justifiable, would lead to "consolidation" 4 md consequent ea?ly abolition?" f 'I'lie imagination is certainly a most valuable i piality of the mind, whose availability in prac- i ical affairs, whether private or public, is uoi- t 'ursallv admitted; but it may become too ini-1 t iressible bv exhuberaiit cnltivati u, when its 1 i ead is as dangerous and destructive a3 its ju-1 t licious employment is conducive to useful com j t nanrliiiur triiiiuiiLs. It is anorebeuded tint such' : " " O r I r - I nay be the state of your imagination now; ami i t hat the "commendable infljence of your fears ind your interests" have wrought upon it to a norbid extent, controlling your better and earer convictions, {.nd drawing you off from the 'xalted path of usefulness and duty, by pur- j iuiug which, tiiougfi beset with peril*, von vould 'ne sure to perfect an honorable fame for! murself and secure a proud glory for your; state. I No disposition prevails in the breast of any i if your fellow-citizens (and especially none anong your immediate neighbors) to subject our sensibility to any unnecessary inflictions; >ut, as it appears to them, the doctrines enbreed in your Barnwell letter are so palpably i 'outradietory to those they conscientiously be- t ieved you to advocate previous to its proin-.il- t pitiou, that they must l?o indulged in some do I tree of freedom of analysis. Yon took occa- i ion in that production to laud the "courage, i I ntelli geiice, and appreciation of self-interest of i I he people of neighboring States," in a style t bat mignt admit of a construction (a misconitructinn. however, undoubtedly) disparaging i 0 South Carolina. This you never intended, J is all will frankly and justly concede; and you r ire at liberty to declare that the lofty virtues i .vhieh you designate as adorning that people, < hey may possess equally .(if not in a more emnent decree) with the people of your own i State. To debate this proposition is no part | if the purpose of this communication; and were t felt to he a duty, its performance would eon- j er no pleasure, since the registry of the solemn i ieeree of Georgia through her late convention is to her policy at the present most trying ori- i sis of public affairs. She is a sovereign State, i mil as such has taken her position, as she has 01 unquestionable right to do. When, howev. ?ver, you u idertake to fix fire years as the ingest time she will consent to wear the badge if servitude ami dishonor, when she will iise in the majesty of the virtues you ascribe to her ind sweep tyranny from her borders, anil to fxhert South Carolina to stay her "rashness' ?nd ronpwia her "i.nimtieiit sense of wrongs" till timt day ol deliverance shall dawn, it is dif ticult to recognise your voice in the utterance of such counsel; and a'though the distorted and unwelcome features of your Hamwell letter will intrude themselves upon the mind, still reinemhranco of your adhesion to the resolution of the 'Wud of .March, and of your impassioned oratory in the legislature justly inflamed by a consciousness of the peril and degradation ol your country, cannot be diiven from it.

Arnazement, absolute unqualiied amazement, seizes the bosoms of your riemls at the announcement of such a proposition; and yet such is the language, such thp lain, unniistakeable sentiments which your Barnwell letter avows. Sir, the fact is so.? Denial is impossible, nor will it he attempted. Surely at the unlucky moment of its conception your eVil genius was in the ascendant; and It is devoutly hoped that the hour of better influenc6s will not long be deferred when the real dignity and majesty of your mind and heart will assert their legitimate dominion, and recall you, in the name of your country, to the post of duty, though it may be the post of danger :lUn The respects of the writer will shortly he paid ngain. PALME1TO. ? I - ; f: Tub Executiov of Lopez.?Described by 'in eye Wit nets.?The Newbuiyport Herald' I'outains the following account of the execution t)f Lopez, written by an eye witness: Havana,' Sept. 1st, 10 o'clock.?This mornng (Jen. Lopez was executed as a criminal. The scene was imposing, although awful. All he military in the city were formed in a large' inllow square; in the rhiddle 'was the machine ?f death, on a platform raised ten feet from he ground on posts, with a railing round, and side steps from the ground in front. On tho llatform was the garrotte, nil iron seat or chair ,vith the back in .one piece, extending higher han the person sitting ori the seat. On the back, ven with the head, is the apparatus of death/ ronsisting of iron clasps which are fitted to the iides of the head, and a clasp to pass roond the hroat. From behind is a long iron bar attach* >d to a screw, which put in motion by the hangnan giving one turn, draws the side and throat lieces tight, and at the same instant sends an ron into the spinal marrow of the neck, from U'hind, which causes instantaneous death. JSinch vas the machine for Gen. Lopez. He behavd ike a brave mau throughout the awful moments, de walked, surrounded by a guard, from' he Punta fort to the steps of the garrotte, is cool appirently, as if he was at the head of m army. He was dressed in a long white gown, and i white cap; his wrists were tied in front and' ihove his elbows behind, with cords held by ioldiers. He ascended the steps, with two nvilians. no onest. as is common in such cases. Hie faced around and seemed to take a good o??k on the solJiers, and tho immense throng if people outs: le the square, and then turned o?nd and knelt in prayer for aliont one minute." He then rose and turned towards tho front, and .1 a clear, in-uily voice, and in tones loud enugh to he heard hy the thousands present, for it was still as night,) spok* as follows: 'Countrymen, I most solemnly, in the last aw"ul moment of my lite, ask your pardon for my injure 1 have caused you. It was not my vish to injure any one, my object was yoar readmit and happics*^' here he was interruped bv the commanding officer in front [on inrseb tck.] He concluded by saving, "my inention was good, and my hope is in God." He hen bowed and turned round and took his seat ippaiently with as much coolness as if lie had ikeu a chair in a roo u with friends. He placed his head back, between the iron ?.isps; the negro hang nail then adjusted the run throat clasp, ami tied his feet to bolts on irtch side of the seat. During this preperatiou Lopez was in conversation with his friend. The : ill negro hnng:n in who is kept as public exiiiiitimiur f hi m fo.ilf liiu r>l j/?ii ?i f flit* iritn httr leltind.

We are not sore iut this old attorney was right iu attempting to lave the "error" corrected in the court hy which t was committed.
