Twelve months ago our Co-operntioniMs would have been in- salted had they Immu) accused ot having , a spark of Unionism in their composition, and now the Southern Patriot and all tile Union presses outside of the State claim them as brothers and co-laborers in the j great work of preserving the Union. It is idle to say they have no foundation for such a claim of relationship; for although many—we trust a large portion—of those who havo been induced to vote against secession are disunion men, yet they have coalesced and fraternized with sub- ' missHiniets, and have given cause to the outsiders to embrace them as Union bre thren, and to the Southern Patriot to announce its claim as tire leader who pointed them to victory. The “so!>er second thought” is yet, we trust, to be manifested by our people; for it is impossilJe that they should thus lay quietly down by the side of those who have already submitted to past aggress ions. We say so because the leaders of j the present Co-operation party have again and again said so; they have de- | uounced the Union in the most fiery lan guage that eloquence could put forth, ami although at present they appear to have had strength enough to curb the lieopk 1 they have excited by their impas sioned oratory—yet the spirit is un- quendted, and they, too, if honest, must tak>‘ their places in the front ranks of re sistance. If we thought it was otherwise, if we rouh’ believe they were determined to do nothing—tln-n, indeed, would we feel the whole force and truth of the Cres cent’s prediction—that not otdy disunion would know no resurrection, hut that the last nail had been put in the cotHu of State rights and Htate sovereignty. Do not our readers observe one thing in all the comments of the papers we have laid before them, and that is the verification of what we have oflen as serted. viz: that the secession of South Carolina w uld have produced a dissolu tion of the Union—a separation of the two sections.—and consequently the es- tablibhinent of a Southern confederacy. I Not a sentence, not a line, that comes to us on the, subject, but proves this. The rejoicings of the Northern presses, tmd the desponding responses of Southern rights journals, are alike evidences of the truth of the assumption. The only prob lem to be solved now is, whether the co operation party will faithfully redeem flieir disunion pledges—w hether they will proclaim to the country that secession is the rightfufreniedy o! an aggrieved sove reign State, and that it is the remedy they will use alter having diligently sought to obtain others. On the solution of this question depends the entire fate of State sovereignty. On the failure to exercise the right of secession, when other means of protection have lieeu hon estly searched after and not found, the last ImjK) of any security for Southern institutions will have perished tbrever.— Noirue Carolinian will shrink from the responsibility, when it is so plain to every unprejudiced mind that State rights are | in extreme peril.—>SnuM Carolinian. SHELF SliSBANDRV^N S. HRIILIW. Col. J. W. Watts’s Flock.—The question has often occurred to us, w hy is it that so little attention has been given to sheep raising in South Carolina ? The only reason that we have heard given is that which has operated so powerfully in all the planting States against a diversity of production, viz: the exclusive devo tion of our people to the culture of cot ton. This cotton mania, if it may be so termed, has already done much to impair 1 our energies and means of producing.— It is high time that the size ot our cotton fields should be reduced, if by so doing we will be enabled to retain within the limits of our State, the large sums of mo ney which we annually send abroad for articles of consumption which we can raise at home. Why should our State be a market for the liona-s, miiles, bacon, and corn of otle-r .Slates.' Why should we send abroad for our coarse cottons and woollen*! It is only necessary for our people to take the matter in hand, and direct a poriinn of their capital into the proper channels, in order to put an end to tliis dependence upon others for what our own industry can supply us with.

Quitman, has decided that his term of office expires w ith the period fir which he was elected to the Senate. The Secretary of State has issued his proclamation convening the Senate on the Sllh inst., that a Presi dent thereof may be chosen, to exercise the exercise the office of Governor until the first day of January.
