The fugi tive slave law which alone, in the estima tion of some, gave the slightest signifi cance to the name of compromise, even if executed in good faith, was only carry ing out a stipulation of the constitution to the honest performance of which you were already entitled. But what has this law effected? Let the blood of your murdered fellow citizens answer. Many slave-holders, misled by the delusive promise held out by the compromise, have assorted their rights, expended vast sums of money, encountered difficulty and dan ger, met insults, received blows, and some expiated with their lives the crime of seeking their property among brethren under a solemn law of Congress. What more can lie done? The Northern peo ple denounce you as man stealers; your honest earni.igs as the wages of blood. Their churches refuse affilatinn with men defiled with the sin of slavery, and sev eral have dissolved all ecclesiastical con nexion. If this was all we miget defy their impotent malice and insane fanati cism. But by the legerdemain of protective legislation, they have laid upon Southern labor the burthen of supplying three- fourths of the revenue of the govern ment, and then disbursed what was thus iniquitously extorted, among those who contributeed least. All these injuries,how ever, sink into comparative insignificance before the stupendous injustice of the com promise. They were but the petit lar cenies of the youthful and uupracticed offender. This last, the reckless robbery of the hardened felon. We will not dis cuss the coinpromise measures. You have already heard the story of your wrongs so often, that there is reason to fear it has become “Like a thrice told tale, Trilled in ihe ear of a drowsy man.’ 1 The abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, the dismemberment of Texas, the admission of California, the refusal to insert in the bills establishing Terrilorial Governments for Utah and New Mexico, any provision for the pro tection of slavery, are now matters of history. When the news of their passage was received, there was a universal out burst of indignation from the whole South; resistance—determined, unalterable, eter nal resisiance was the “ watchword and reply.” Resistance to what? Not the future, uncertain, contingent aggressions of the Federal Government, but the pre- ! sent, plain, palpable wrong. Resistance I in what way? “Not by lying supinely ■ on our backs, and hugging the delusive ; phantom of hope.” Then the Southern ■W !

Mondx On One short year has elapsed, and what a change!! Georgia “ has eaten her own Vi escence now a total surrender of your rights? Will any occasion ever arise so favorable to the assertion and mainten ance of your liberty and equality as the present? Our sister States though un willing to make, are ready to meet the is sue made by you. The sense of wrong isatil! alive, and they would giadiy grasp the opportunity afforded by your resin 1. ance, of redeeming the selftdesertion they have committed by their recent ac tion. Our destinies are indissolubly link ed, our interests identical, our people homogeneous, says Judge Chf.ves.— Slavery and the Union cannot coexist, says Bear. Will they forswear their des tinies, abandon South Carolina, and affi- late with x common enemy to commit selt-^estruction, through mere pique, be cause we have exercised a privilege ac corded to them, of deciding for ourselves, and refusing obedience to authority they have declared unjust and usiiqicd ? To suppose so is to charge tliem with great er folly and madness than the secession party believe them capable of committing. On the other hand, should South Caroli na acquiesce, what hope have we that any other State will ever resist? Can any grater wrong be inflicted, short of emancipation, than we have already en dured ? Has any other State more pat riotism, higher character for courage, and can she assume loftier ground than we have taken ? And if we falter, can we hope any other will act? These are searching questions, and each man must answer them for himself. Let us then cease the angry strife which rages among us, and turn the tide of bit terness and rancor now sweeping over our State like a wave of ruin.against our enemies. Let us heed the counsel of him who for forty years adorned and dig- nifled the highest stations in the gift of our people, and endeared himself by his un faltering devotion t»our interests—whose stupendous intellect seemed allied in its conclusions to the inspiration of prophe cy, and wliose last hours were occupied with apprehensions for our fate. Mr. Calhoca, in the presence of his son, de clared if no other State would resist the admission of California, “ .South Carolina must act alone.” [fob the dablington flag.] ALL IS WELL ABULT EFFUGIIAfl, Septembeb 21st, 1851. time, is resistance or submuniop. Ho bi“ lieved that if we wait for co-operation from other States before we resist, we must inevitably submit. He pictured the degradation of submission, and conclu ded by saying, “ if there was any laurels to be won by the dissolution of the Union, let Soutli Carolina wear the wreath, and if coercion was the result, it would be a consolation to think that ‘ we die all free men rather live all slaves.” The resolutions adopted by the seces sion party at Darlington C. H M on the first Monday in this month, were then brought forward, and after being read were unanimously adopted. On motion, the proceedings of this meeting were ordered to be sent to the Darlington Flag, with a request for pub lication. It is scarcely necessary for us to state, Mr. Editor, that out of a crowd of about two hundred voters, (several being fiom the adjoining Districts,) there were only three co-operationists, and those three were from oilier districts. The day passed off very pleasantly and quietly for such an enthusiastic meeting. We can verily say that Effingham and its vicinity is “right side up;” the place which for more than once has been scoffed by rare arts in terra for its insignificance. We are un able to promise our candidates, Hon. I. D. Wilsoh and A. W. Dozier, Esq., any- Miing more than our almost unanimous support. E. S. BURCH, Ch’n. Dr. 8. H. Miller, > , J.

Then turning to our present taxes, he clearly proved thai they were such as should not Us borne by our people; the whole of these taxes go ing to the support of Yankee contrivances. His next step was to discuss the only remedy to rid us of these burdens, and of Northern aggressors; and after dwel ling for a short while on the right of se cession, and for some time upon the ef fect of separate State action, finally con cluded that it would be rather “a money 1 making business” for South Carolina to secede, than detrimental to her revenues. Mr. F. F. Warley was next called, and he responded to the call in a speech of great force and eloquence. He main tained the ground that resistance to Nor thern aggression by the co-operation of one or more of our Southern sister States was now hopeless, andTdemonstra ted that separate State action is the only means left us by which we can hope for this co-operation. He also plainly illus trated the fact that Souih Carolina was fully competent to support and maintain her separate independence, in the event that no other State would unite with her. He showed that if the position of Barn well, Bunt, Orr, and the “ host of oth ers” note claimed by the co-operation par ty, was a just one in ’32, certainly they were not infallible men, and therefore be cause they are u ftigJAn,” is no rea son that they should've followed. Mr. H arley completely chained the audience for an hour aud three quarters. Next came the Rev. John Culpepper, aud commenced by saying, “In case of secession, let the citizens of South Caro- lina rally in one solid phalanx, and they can show danger that they anymore An- gerous than danger itself” The applause given at once gained for hun the full at tention of his hearers, and he then pro ceeded dispassionately to do the work, which was to overthrow the co-operation- isu, (aims submissionfets) and to nappall aeosaaion; and this, to tho minds «f the ettnens of Effingham, he did with appa rent ease, to judge from the continued ap plause durirwr hie epeseh. p Rev.

All parties in the South concede it, while they propose different remedies. Hos- tility to Slavery has grown up with tho government, and year after year since 1787 it lias become more determined. It hna now- reached maturity, and is as undomesUcated and inexorable as a wild Hyena. Yt has succeeded 111 one of its grand schemes of Aboit^on— hemming in the institution by surrour- it with free Stales. Insolent in its pow er, it refuses to allow the fagitive slave law to bo enforced and thfls triumphs in another plan of Mancipation—ren dering the slave fiiperty of the border States unsafe, by open robbery, and forcing ita owners to pusb it npon the interrior of the South.
