Nay, bring up your children like Hamilear, and swear tliem on the altar of your country to eternal hatred to the foul and unprin cipled domination of the North—the cor rupt and tyrannical Government at Wash ington. And uhije you thus raise the whirlw ind of opposition to Yankeedom, draw closer to every friend at home. If you thus do, when the time of trial comes, and the “fiery cross” shall circleWer the hills and valleys of Carolina, wanting her gallant and heroic sons to repel the inva der, every true Carolinian w ill be there— there to battle, and if necessary, to bleed and die nobly. Then, as the time of trial is hastening on, lei us hasten to be friends, let us aban don party strife, and pledge to each other our fortunes, our lives, and onr sacred honor, to sustain the decision of the Con stitutional Convention. Do this, and we will be united; and united, Carolina has nothing to fear. The unprincipled Free- soilers now Bneeringly ask, Will Carolina resist alone and unaided? will she resist? w ill she fight t Yes. it lias come to this, when the inquiry is doubtingly made whether the descendants and country- men of Pinckney, Rutledge, Sumter, Ma rion Hayne amt Calhoun, will fight to vindicate their rights, to redress their un sullied honor, and to throw off the foul dominion of an oppressive Government. Let the answ er go back that the sons of Carolina are thousands, their hearts onr, and that she will fight as long as one true son is left to raise aloft the Palmetto; yea, as “ long as there is a pine tree to sup port a rifie, or a bush to be dabbled with blood.” I trust that we will have no such struggle; but if the issue is forced upon us, the ancient reputation of the Palmet to will be maintained; when the tocsin sounds the loud alarum, the children of Carolina from North, South, East and West, with many of the brave and free of other States, will hurry with impatient feet to be here. “ They will sharpen their swords by the midnight lamp, and before the morning star sets will rush for tho f ay ;” and then in solid phalanx, shoul der to shoulder, “likereapers, they will descend to the harvest of death,” and either sustain aloft in honor and victory the time-honored Palmetto, or find be- charge , ! ealb descending folds, the graves of i freemen. Fellow-citizens, cease vour Ftrile, silence your contentions, cultivate your love of conntry, your state pride, your devotion to hberty, nerve your hearts for the hour of trial, and then, if it must lie, as one man let ns unfurl the banner to the breeze, and strike for Carolina, our household Gods, the green graves of our sires, for God and our natrve laud.

The two political parties assembled at this place on la*t sale day, and contrary to the prediction of croakers, there w%s no disturbance of tho peace. The dis cussion was conducted with decorum, candor and ability; no intemperate lan guage was used by the speakers on either side, and the people retired to their homes without a feeling ruffled or chafed. In this a noble example of forbearance was manifested worthy of all praise, and which does the District great honor. Why should the divisions among us run into angry discussion and hostile feeling!— We are all Carolinians, and are indissolu bly bound together in a common fate. There will, and can be no difference in the allotment which awaits all true Caro linians, whether the State secedes or sub mits—whether she nobly resists and vic tory perches on the Palmetto, or she is destined to be subjugatedwhy Federal power. Then, if our fate is one, if desli- ny has connected our lot together, wheth er for weal or for woo, let us conduct the discussion among ourselves with kind ness, with good feeling, forbearance, and much charity, bearing in mind that there are those w ithout our limits who hate, and would destroy us, aud that when the time of trial comes, now hastening on, every true son of Carolina will be needed, either at the council board or in the tented field. History informs us that the immortal Nelson, just before the far famed naval battle of Trafalgar, hung out from his flagship,A-standard with these words: “England expects every man to do his duty." TYo other appeal was made to the brave men under his command; no other was necessary; no other could have inspired such noble en thusiasm. The ap|>eal, short as it was. brought before their mindH their native land; the home of tlieir childhood; the shelter of thoee dearer to them than life, aud the honor and interests of their na tive land, the vindication of which w as confided to them, with the declaration that their country expected every man to do hia duty.

That “ the negro is a while man only painted black,” has no foundation in truth or nature. All history disproves it. Tim science of comparative anatomy liearo positive testimony against it; the dark, color not being confined to the skin, but pervading, to a certain extent, every mem brane and muscle, tinging all the humors and ex T en the brain itself, with a shade of darkness. The statue of the negro in Westmin ster Abbey, kneeling before that of Mr. Fox, is at once recognized as a veritable son of Africa, although made of tlie same white marble; thus disproving, by the ar tist’s chisel, the mischievous sophism which makes color the only difference. ■ Observation, also, proves that the ne gro is under different physiological laws from tho white man. The Bible declares the same thing, as it gives him the sig nificant name of Canaan, (or submissive knee bender,) to express his nature, and doomed him to slWbry, as a condition the moet consonant to that nature. That book gave Limbut qpn commandment: Hirfl 1 ?! mClpthrew, to be tlieir ser- ,v^t of MP^umfetpariy implying that tliey are responsible for his observance of the other ten. Domestic slavery is made a blessing instead of a curse to the Ethi opian or Canaauite race, by a different conformation of body, cast of mind, and turn of thought, imparting to that race n fitness for that institution, and an unfit ness for sny other. Hence justice, mer cy, and the best interests of the slave race suffered no violation, (as Voltaire vainly thought, and rejected the bibfe as a febfe 011 that ground) but was profno- teff by Joshua taking their country from them, and reducing them to bondage, in asmuch as their organization, no less Ilian that of children, render them unfit for in dependence.
