CAMDEN, ; TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. IG, 1S51. ( THO. J. WARREN, Editor.- Party Strife. We sincerely regret to see that our State is likely to be convulsed by party strifes and divisions, upon the question of action. It is a thousand pi- ties that these miserable differences which nuw exist, should progress and be carried to the ex- ] tent which we see is likely to be the result. Will some one who is able to answer, kindly inform us what good is likely to result frotn a heated, over- wrought and protracted debate and contest, when ( it is obvious no practical good can possibly accrue j from .such agitations. We are not for sitting , down supinely, and let every thing take its own , course, but we are for using the means in our bauds with great caution, that wnen we do work, it may be effectual. We like the spirit of the meeting held in our Court House on the 1st inst., for the purpose of " uniting the two wings of the Resistance Party, and to prevent divisions among ourselves." The remarks of our worthy Senator, Hon. W. J. Taylor are in accordance with our views, and the whole proceedings have our unqualified approbation, and we think, display good Judgment and ! common sense. The opposite of that, manifested by certain papers in this State, Iwhich have indulged their vituperative powers very considerably, at our expense, thereby exhibiting to our minds, a great deal of egotism, and a decided want of common sense. From such papers or such persons we have nothing to ask, hope or expect, and the least we have to do with them the better. ,n.eiidirman nf Hif> mpptinp refer- l/UI. 1«)|VI| n VUIUU..M .. ...» 0 4 red,to said, in the conclusion ofhis remarks: "I ; need not remind you, that we are all embarked in a common cause, a holy cause, and involving c not only our rights as citizens of a common coun- ( try.our property.our hauses and firesides. j. but the very existence of our social and political c organization. Shall we, in view of such things, r halt on the way to squabble among ourselves a- t ^bout comparatively small matters ? 1 hope not, 1 s trust not. a **It becomes us to reconcile all minor differences which threaten to distract and divide us, or at n least, endeavor to do so, and should we fail in the f, attempt, we will have the consolation of having s ^'wa^^ischarged our duty." a We hope this meeting may be productive of i] great good in our District, and that our people n may be induced to avoid the errors into which un- tl fortunately, so many of our sister Districts have s fallen. We are disposed to preserve, as much as n possible, the equilibrium of our temper, and not y ftistiirh those friendlv feellnes which we entertain u for those who are opposed to our views, so far as k relates to the aclion of South Carolina. We see ri no good likely to result from trying to furce others s into a course contrary to their own predilections. For our part, we are clear for every man exercising his own opinion in his own way, and to suit himself, provided always, that opinion is within the '' bounds of decency and propriety, and has regard " to the la ws of the land. No man who does what w he conscientiously believes to be right should fear a giving offence to those with whom he may differ. We acknow'edge the obligations which friendship often imposes, and the dictates of our better judg- ° ment frequently induces us to regard the opinions ^ of others with respect, if not with admiration, ^ even wheu those opinions are decidedly opposed to ours,. We call no man rabbi.for the simple reason that General Jackson and John C. Calhoun were both men.and the frailties of human nature are attached to all who live or have breathed, or mav breathe an existence in this world of 6 ours. It suits us therefore, at this particular t'me, a not to enter the list as a " turbulent sou of liber- c ty." Maintaining our Journal with our previously j, expressed opinions in every particular unchanged^ tj we don't care (unless occasion should require,) a to disturb the present quiet of our nervous tern- a perament by a heated and animated dif.cus.sion of: 1 a question which, to our mind, has been " used l' r> I- ,u ; 1; up, !U, IUW Ulflllf HTCJI.T, u «.»*. u.u whole English language has been expended. ^ The Danger of Delay. In our last, we referred to the case of the slave Daniel, who was arrested at Buffalo, N. V., as a fugitive under the new law; and in which we endeavored to show the futility, not only of that law, but of the idea that some entertain of the good faith of the people of the North, as well as the absurdity of waiting for any concert of action on the part of the other States. The nature of that case, the result and all the particulars are before the country, therefore it would be time spent for nought, in dilating upon such a hack- c nied subject as the Fugitive Slave Law. Ourob-! ject is to call the attention of the people of our State, to the necessity of separating from a peo- c pie so devoid ot principle, or regard for compacts which they have sworn to perform in good faith, The people of the South are a very meek people, as we will proceed to demonstrate: they love their enemies; they are disposed to do good to those (of the North) who despitefully use them, and persecute them ; for in spite of their violalions of the Constitution of the United States; in spite of their disregard, not to say contempt of our complaints; in spite of their attempts to . overthrow our Institutions, by sending dangerous < emissaries among us; in spite of all their aggres. t sions, which arc innumerable, there are still those t among up, who have a contempt for every thing 1 that does not emanate from the North ; there are ' many who make their money at the South, only to spend it at the North; there are many, who imagine thpir sons cannot be gentieraen, or their ' daughters, ladies, unless their education is finished ! at the North, who, though owners of slaves, do "j not hesitate to pay the proceeds of their (the slaves) labour to the hypocritical Professors and Teachers of Northern Schools and Colleges, who in their daily prayers, invoke the Deity, to destroy i the vety Institutions by which they are pampered and made rich ; is this independent, is this con- < iistent? Who will say it is? The present comnercial relations between the'two section must :ontinue at least for some time.though some propose direct trade with Europe. Are the people of Europe any more favorable to our Institutions, than the people of the North ? Call to mind when and where the agitation of the Slavery iiiestion be?an. and then answer: "out of the i o trying pan into the fire" is a very trite adage, but ire can well applylit at this time, notwithstanding. Et really seems as if we are not satisfied with the ill usage we have received from the rivulets and jranches of Abolition fanaticism, consequently, we fly for refuge to fountain head.the process jf annihilation is too slow in North America, England, though over-stocked with white slaves nust do the work, she is so much more expeditious in the abolition of negro slavery. What then may we ask, is to be expected from transferring our trade to Europe? This is a problem, time must solve; but we have digressed farther than we at first intended, and must return. Our object in the outset, was to show as well is we could, to the people of South Carolina, the utter absurdity of waiting for Co-operation. Now for the proof: First we turn to the State of Mississippi.what is the state of affairs there? iuitman has withdrawn from the canvass for the "hihcmatnrial chair. 1 He Union Partv has triuniDh- ;d, so that no other candidate wiil now be brought orward by the Southern Rights Party, and Foote vill be elected; in Georgia, the contest between UcDonald and Cobb, is doubtful, and some aleady entertain fears of Cobb's election; in Alalama, Collier was re-elected, 'tis true, but there >ping really no opposition, we cannot say which jarty has the majority. From whence then, are ve to look for Co-operation ? we are not gifted vith the spirit of prophecy. Our little State now stands alone in her hatred >f Northern aggression, and opposition to federal yranny. Will not her sons sustain her in this iroud position ? many will, but some we blush to ay, are willing to drag her to the portals of tyraniv, and there, before the throne of the usurper and he aggressor, fall down and cry aloud "ice will ubmit, Jo with us what you will /" 'Tis a humili xi.J i ; Ullg I t'lll'UllUIJ HJUL'UU) UUl WC tai.'liwi tcuapvz u. We have already delayed too long, but we are iot past redemption ; if we have failed in our efarts to impress upon the other States, the necesity for action, and the importance of asserting nd maintaining their rights and Institutions; F our warning has been in vain; if they will ot aid us in preserving our common interests, bey must take the consequences; we cannot lose ight of our own situation, nor musi we longer eglect to use the means of deliverance which are et left us. Some of our leaders have forsaken s, but we are not bereft; we yet have a few who now our rights; with thesp, let us maintain those ights; if we fail, then, and not till then, will we ubmit to our fate. * * * Democratic Review.

Mr. Editor.It lias been frequently assertd in the Editorial columns of the Journal, and Iso iu private conversation, by gentlemen of ousiderublc pretensions to intelligence, that it i useless and idle now, to attempt to shirk .e responsibility, that the State and District re already pledged to separate Stale action, nd that it is cowardly to attempt to recede.. 'his assertion has been so often repeated, to tie good people of Kershaw, that they urelikey to be mystified as to their true position. We ropose now, to consider this proposition, and >robe it to tbe bottom, in order to see bow luch truth there really is in it, and whether or ot this District is actually pledged, it will be eedless for mo to go into an argument to rove that tins Stale is not pleUgetl to separate ction, because 1 believe this point is conceded y the Secessionists themselves. If such a ledge is to be found any where, it must be along the proceedings of her Legislature, but lierc is no such pledge to be found there. On lie contrary, if there is any pledge at all, it is irectly the other way, " to co'Opcrulc" with the ther Southern Stntoo. -The People nave never een consulted about it.so it may be consiered certain that no 6uch pledge is in exiseiice. The able letter of Judge Withers, pubished in the columns of the Journal, has renlered familiar to its readers, the train of argument by which it can be demonstrated to a cerainty, that the State has not pledged itself in my visible way. Are the people of this District pledged? It hey are, it must be in one of two ways: either >y their resolutions passed at the different Disrict meetings which have boon held from time o time, or by tho election of separate State acion Delegates to the Convention. And, first, et us consider the election. The candidates vcre five or six in number, nominated, it would leem, without anv regard to their polittcs; but t i .... u._ J;J... i j ne journal liisisieu uu uie cauuiuaies pieiigmg licmsclves to separate State action, in the Contention, anil finally, they were interrogated as to this point, by a correspondent of your paper, signing himself " Kuffalo." Now, I will not waste time in showing tlie absurdity of requiring men to pledge themselves in relation to n, matter of which, at that time, they could not judge, and upon which thoy were to be elected to deliberate.because, in this free country, svery man has a right to ask any question he pleases, and we have bad some precious specimens of the exercise of this right very lately, in a neighboring District. I neither praise nor blame him for it. At all events, some of the L-andidates saw fit to reply, (Messrs. Lang, Cantey, Shannon and Patterson.) Now remember, this was a test question : it was to decide whether the Delegates were to go for co-operation or not; its avowed object was to find who were the secossion men, and who were for cooperation. The interrogator wanted to be answered without " equivocation or doubt." And now mark the responses. First, .Mr. Shannon, in answer to the query, replied that he would unhesitatingly say, that if we had no hope ol co-operation, that ho was opposed to separate State action, still, under continued aggressions, he might be impelled to advocate it as a "dernier resort".but if lie is elected, he must "gofrcr. and untrammelled." Mr. Patterson* said, in substance, lie was in favor of co-operatiou, and was willing to wait for it, and if we could not obtain it, then j- < ...i- lu .i. _i! ec a ne was in lavor or separate otaie action. as to the time when South Carolina should secede alone, depends much upon future events, and I am unwilling to embarrass myself with a pledge, thinking it should be left to the prudence and sound discretion ol those whom you may honor with your confidence." Maj. Cantey said, in substance -he was willing to wait a "reasonable time" for co-op. eration, if then it could not be obtained, he was in favor of separate State action ; but goes on to say, "I wish it to be understood that 1 am to take my seat untrammelled, and act according to the circumstances that may exist at the time." Ma. Lang said substantially.he wished for co operation, hut if it could not be obtained, he was in favor of Carolina's acting alone, and then in conclusion, says: "This is my opinion as at present advised, not pledging myseif to any particular course of action, irrespective of circumstances that may arise affecting the expediency of the step." «It will be see», that not one of the four pledged themselves to separate State action.there was indeed a difference of opinion as to the remedy for our grievance between Mr. Shannon and the other responding candidates.that is not the point under consideration-.and they all agreed in one thing, namely, not pledging themselves. There was plainly then no issue made. All the candidates that answered, stood all together. there may have been private pledging among the candidates.of this we know nothing. There, in the Journal, was the public refusal to pledge, and in relation to that matter, Messrs. Cantey, Lang, Patterson and Shannon, all stood by these answers, on precisely the same platform.that is, they tied themselves down to no particular course of action, [t would have been ridiculous if thev had. The day of election at last arrived and past .nothing extraordinary occurred.all was quiet.there seemed to be no greater number of persons in town from the surrounding country, than we usually find on Bank day every week. In Camden, there were 207 votes polled, a little more than half as many ashad been cast for cap- tain oftlie Beat ten days before. There was not the slightest excitement among the voters of the ti District.many of them did not know that an election was being I: Id and did not know the object of the election (lor very obvious reasons,) and the great majority stayed al honje without voting at all, and out of a DistricHfiut in 1848 polled SOG votes for Cirri; if tju^fjourt, but 3G4 votes were cast for Delegates to a Convention whose object, we are told, is to upset the whole government, and construct a new one for us ami future generations! One of the boxes that in 1818 cast 10!) votes for Clerk, at the election for Delegates to the Convention cast only 8 rotes! ! And from one Box in a populous part of the District, we never have had any return .we do not even know that the Polls were opened. I learn by diligent inquiry that the box wasopened, and about twenty votes polled, and a return made. » however, can iind no such return. Now is there a greater absurdity ? Can any thing be more ridiculous, than for the Journal, in the face of this meager vote, when there was no issue presented, even to the few that voted, in the face of this partial return, to say that this District went for Secession ! Yet the Journal announced the result as follows: "Kershaw has pluuted her banner on Secession* ground.Cautey, Lang and Patterson".when I have just shown that these three gentlemen expressly declined pledging themselves publicly, and that not one halt' the voters of the District went to the polls. I think it can be clearly drawn from the above, that this District did not give an expression of opinion in favor of separate State action by electing Lang, Cantey and Patterson. 1N0; not even did the 30-1 votes give an expression of opinion, for there was no issue made. It seems to bo plain Mr. Editor, that the District is not pledged to Secession by the clec tion of separate State action Delegates, notwithstanding your confident announcement to the contrary. In my next I propose to consider whether they pledged themselves by their resolutions adopted at their several District meetings. 1 hereunto aiinex a statement of the number of votes polled last February, which owing to some cause, has never before been published: Election for Delegates to Slate Convention.

For the Camden Journal. To the People of Lancaster District. Fkmow-Citikhns:.At a mooting of the Southern Rights Association of this District, held on the 5th inst., Col. Dixon H. Barnes, of your District, and Gen. William A. Owens, of Fairfield, were nominated ns candidates to represent this Congressional District in the proposed Southern Congress. In submitting their names to you, we the Executive Committee are charged to address you on the questions of the day. There is no difference of opinion in tbisDisI trict, as to the grievances of which wo complain. | They are in their character insulting and op' pressive ; so much so, that 110 people can sub- .ma...11. mit to them and be "tree and equal/' or lonj remain independent, but soon, will become sub servient, to powers, other, than those of theii own choosing. The ablest man of the party opposed to secession says, ' [ feel humiliatec into the very dust." This is the general opinion in South Carolina. We do not propose tc dwell on the subject of our wrongs. All par ties admit, they are sufficient to justify us it seceding and taking "the separate station a mong the nations of the earth to which natun and nature's God entitle us." Wo only pro pose to discuss the remedy. There are in this District two parties profess edly seeking to resist the wrongs inflicted upor us.the so-called co-operation party and tin secession party. Let us carefully but briefly examine the principles of these two parties, ant see which is most likely to resist wrong, ani sustain the ancient honor of the State, ant "the peace, safety, anil happiness of the peo pie." Secession from the Union is the remedy pro nosed bv both parties; but the co-operatior party say they will go out, only with the com pany of the other Southern States, or a part o; them. The secessionists say, they desire co operation, but if they fail to get it, then thej think South Carolina should take her rights into her own keeping and secede alone. The committee propose briefly to examine the-e two plans of action, and leave it to you, fellow-citizens, to choose which you will bike.. You will observe at the outset that the co-op oration party, makes the action of South Caro lina depend on that of other States. It appears to us, that this is dangerous doctrine. Suppose all the Southern States submit.abandon State sovereignty.then will not Soutli Carolina, hei action depending on them, submit too? Unquestionably she will if the doctrine of the cooperation party prevails. And are South Carolinians now, prepared to make the State do what she never lias (lone.submit 1 Hut let us examine further. What is co-operation? It is what we all most earnestly desire; we would like lor the whole South to go with us; bill will they do it?.look to the facts! All of the Southern States, with the single exception ol Mississippi, have either submitted to, or acquiesced in, the late outrages of the Federal Government. There is in some of the Sates a Southern Rights party, but it is a feeble oue, and dares not openly advocate secession.. Then since these States have submitted, can we reasonably hope, that they will altar their determination and secede with us. It is almost folly to expect it. In view of this state ol'affairs, is it wise to make the action of South Carolina depend on that of these States? Does it not amount to this that she like them will submit, and like them be laughed at by our Northern oppressors ? If South Carolina has rights and those rights have been trampled on, would it not be better for her to secede alone, relying for success on the strong arms of her sons, and the protection of the God who fought the battles of our forefathers, than basely submit to be robbed of her rights, because other States submit? It is forj-ou to answer the question. But in reply to this, some of the cooperation party will aav, they are opposed, to submission. We know there are many men in that party who d<> not intend to submit, but their principles wjil lead tlioai to it. we icei assured that they are deceiving themselves, and what is far worse, they are acting with those who are at heart suhmissionists, in deceiving others.deceiving into their ranks men who desire co-operation, hut failing to get it, would lose the last drop of blond, rather than South Carolina should become a submission Sftate. But say the eo-opcralionists, or sume of them, wait for co-operation a reasonable time, and if we do not get it then, we will secede alone. Are they sincere? These very men will tell you tuat to secede alone would lie suicidal, ruinous, and that South Carolina could not exist as a separate nation. And yet they say .when all reasonable hope of co-operation fails they will secede alone. Can you believe them ?. They will, assuredly, not agree to secede alone, under any circumstances, or else they do not believe that separate secession would be ruinous, dec. Hut further than this: What do they mean by a reasonable time ? Do they mean during the existence of the Convention to meet some time next year? If so, wearewith them heart and hand. But they do not moan this; that is the platform ol the secession party. dome* of them will not say what they mean by "rcosonable limeothers will say five, ten, ami even twenty years. A great mail once said that liberty might be lost in a day and the fact not be found out for a century. If lie had lived in this State, and time, he might have added, "and some people after finding that they have lost it, will wait a century before they try to regain it.'' Perhaps the shortest way to get at the meaning ol the word co-operation, will be to give the definition, given by a candid member of that party.one of the ablest and most honest men in this District. He says lie "goes for co-operation, and co-operation means submission." Let us in the next place examine the doctrine of separate secession. The secession party desire co-operation, and they have been, and are still working to obtain it. To this end the address to the Southern States, bv the Convention in May last was written. To this end the central committee appointed by that Convention, has been, and still is laboring. On the other hand, what is the other party doing to get co-operation ( Nothing, absolutely nothing ! Hut the secessionists go further, and say that if they fail to get co-operntion, then South Carolina should secede alone. And their doctrine is this, that the Convention to meet next year, should do all in its power to get the cooperation of other States, but if it should fail, then make ample preparations, and as a last resort, preferable to submission, place South Carolina out of the Union. Now which is the true co-operation, and which the true resistance party1! Does not the secession party combine both these qualities; and does it not point on) the safest and most honorable course for Sout! Carolina to pursue i There are several objections urged agains separate State eecossion. There is not one o them founded in gqod reason. It is said tha the secession party are for cutting loose fron the Union immediately, without any govern r mental preparation; and that they do not even J so much as desire co-operation. This is all anr true, fellow-citizens, and is said to deceive you 1 r into the ranks of the co-operatiou party. The I doctrine of the secession party, we have already stated, and it proves that the secessionists > desire co-operation, and the facts show that they are the only party working to obtain it.. i The Convention will find it their first and cheif- est duty after they have determined to secede, j to make governmental preparations. Where - then is the objection ? It is further objected, that South Carolina is too small and ins!(rn!finonj </> - - ...w.g.iiuvttUK i.u caioi as a sepn* I i rate State; and that the people would be bur- I > thened with taxes. Wonderful discovery, this. | f There are in the world, many governments 1 1 smaller than South Carolina, and they exist, 1 1 and their people are not half as much oppress- 1 1 ed with taxes as we are now, in this glorious . Union. By means of the odious* Tariff, South Carolina now pays to the support of the fed. eral government about four millions of dollars. i less than half of which would defray all addi. tional expense South Carolina would be put to f in a separate government. There is, therefore, .1 no force in the objection. The truth is, fellow | citizens, if our State secedes, we will be less .! burthened with taxes than we now are. There arc other objections, but it would extend too > far, the limits of this address, to notice them here. If it should be necessary, it will be done . hereafter. In conclusion, fellow-citizens, let ns urge upon you, to support Col. Barnes «nrt dan n,.r 5' ens. They are every way qualified for the trust I s I we propose to place in their hands. They ad- 1 vocate the principles of the Secession.party as ' we have laid them down, and if elected "they will do all in their power to procure the co-op. eratian of the Southern States. ' JOHN YV.

THO. J. WARREN, Editor.-Party Strife.

We sincerely regret to see that our State is likelyto be convulsed by party strifes and divisions,

upon the question of action. It is a thousand pi-ties that these miserable differences which nuw

exist, should progress and be carried to the ex- ]tent which we see is likely to be the result. Willsome one who is able to answer, kindly inform us

what good is likely to result frotn a heated, over-

wrought and protracted debate and contest, when (

it is obvious no practical good can possibly accrue jfrom .such agitations. We are not for sitting ,

down supinely, and let every thing take its own ,

course, but we are for using the means in our

bauds with great caution, that wnen we do work,it may be effectual.We like the spirit of the meeting held in our

remarks of our worthy Senator, Hon. W. J. Taylorare in accordance with our views, and the

whole proceedings have our unqualified approbation,and we think, display good Judgment and !common sense. The opposite of that, manifested

by certain papers in this State, Iwhich have indulgedtheir vituperative powers very considerably,

at our expense, thereby exhibiting to our minds,a great deal of egotism, and a decided want of

common sense. From such papers or such personswe have nothing to ask, hope or expect, andthe least we have to do with them the better.

not only our rights as citizens of a common coun- (

possible, the equilibrium of our temper, and not yftistiirh those friendlv feellnes which we entertain u

for those who are opposed to our views, so far as k

relates to the aclion of South Carolina. We see ri

no good likely to result from trying to furce others s

his own opinion in his own way, and to suithimself, provided always, that opinion is within the ''

whole English language has been expended. ^The Danger of Delay.

In our last, we referred to the case of the slave

Daniel, who was arrested at Buffalo, N. V., as a

fugitive under the new law; and in which we

endeavored to show the futility, not only of thatlaw, but of the idea that some entertain of thegood faith of the people of the North, as well as

the absurdity of waiting for any concert of actionon the part of the other States. The nature ofthat case, the result and all the particulars are

before the country, therefore it would be timespent for nought, in dilating upon such a hack- c

nied subject as the Fugitive Slave Law. Ourob-!ject is to call the attention of the people of our

State, to the necessity of separating from a peo- c

pie so devoid ot principle, or regard for compactswhich they have sworn to perform in good faith,The people of the South are a very meek people,as we will proceed to demonstrate: they lovetheir enemies; they are disposed to do good tothose (of the North) who despitefully use them,and persecute them ; for in spite of their violalionsof the Constitution of the United States; inspite of their disregard, not to say contempt ofour complaints; in spite of their attempts to .

overthrow our Institutions, by sending dangerous <

emissaries among us; in spite of all their aggres. tsions, which arc innumerable, there are still those tamong up, who have a contempt for every thing 1

that does not emanate from the North ; there are '

many who make their money at the South, onlyto spend it at the North; there are many, whoimagine thpir sons cannot be gentieraen, or their '

daughters, ladies, unless their education is finished !at the North, who, though owners of slaves, do "jnot hesitate to pay the proceeds of their (theslaves) labour to the hypocritical Professors andTeachers of Northern Schools and Colleges, who

in their daily prayers, invoke the Deity, to destroy ithe vety Institutions by which they are pamperedand made rich ; is this independent, is this con- <

iistent? Who will say it is? The present comnercialrelations between the'two section must:ontinue at least for some time.though some

propose direct trade with Europe. Are the peopleof Europe any more favorable to our Institutions,than the people of the North ? Call to mindwhen and where the agitation of the Slaveryiiiestion be?an. and then answer: "out of thei o

trying pan into the fire" is a very trite adage, butire can well applylit at this time, notwithstanding.Et really seems as if we are not satisfied with theill usage we have received from the rivulets andjranches of Abolition fanaticism, consequently,we fly for refuge to fountain head.the processjf annihilation is too slow in North America,England, though over-stocked with white slaves

nust do the work, she is so much more expeditiousin the abolition of negro slavery. Whatthen may we ask, is to be expected from transferringour trade to Europe? This is a problem,time must solve; but we have digressed fartherthan we at first intended, and must return.

Our object in the outset, was to show as wellis we could, to the people of South Carolina,the utter absurdity of waiting for Co-operation.Now for the proof: First we turn to the State of

Mississippi.what is the state of affairs there?iuitman has withdrawn from the canvass for the"hihcmatnrial chair. 1 He Union Partv has triuniDh-;d, so that no other candidate wiil now be broughtorward by the Southern Rights Party, and Footevill be elected; in Georgia, the contest betweenUcDonald and Cobb, is doubtful, and some aleadyentertain fears of Cobb's election; in Alalama,Collier was re-elected, 'tis true, but there

>ping really no opposition, we cannot say whichjarty has the majority. From whence then, are

ve to look for Co-operation ? we are not giftedvith the spirit of prophecy.Our little State now stands alone in her hatred

>f Northern aggression, and opposition to federalyranny. Will not her sons sustain her in thisiroud position ? many will, but some we blush to

ay, are willing to drag her to the portals of tyraniv,and there, before the throne of the usurper and

Where Stand the People of Kershaw?NO. 1.

Mr. Editor.It lias been frequently assertdin the Editorial columns of the Journal, andIso iu private conversation, by gentlemen ofousiderublc pretensions to intelligence, that iti useless and idle now, to attempt to shirk.e responsibility, that the State and Districtre already pledged to separate Stale action,nd that it is cowardly to attempt to recede..'his assertion has been so often repeated, totie good people of Kershaw, that they urelikeyto be mystified as to their true position. Weropose now, to consider this proposition, and>robe it to tbe bottom, in order to see bowluch truth there really is in it, and whether or

ot this District is actually pledged, it will beeedless for mo to go into an argument to

rove that tins Stale is not pleUgetl to separatection, because 1 believe this point is concededy the Secessionists themselves. If such a

ledge is to be found any where, it must be alongthe proceedings of her Legislature, butlierc is no such pledge to be found there. Onlie contrary, if there is any pledge at all, it isirectly the other way, " to co'Opcrulc" with thether Southern Stntoo. -The People nave never

een consulted about it.so it may be consieredcertain that no 6uch pledge is in exiseiice.The able letter ofJudge Withers, pubishedin the columns of the Journal, has renleredfamiliar to its readers, the train of argumentby which it can be demonstrated to a cerainty,that the State has not pledged itself inmy visible way.Are the people of this District pledged? It

hey are, it must be in one of two ways: either>y their resolutions passed at the different Disrictmeetings which have boon held from timeo time, or by tho election of separate State acionDelegates to the Convention. And, first,et us consider the election. The candidatesvcre five or six in number, nominated, it wouldleem, without anv regard to their polittcs; but

t i .... u._ J;J... i jne journal liisisieu uu uie cauuiuaies pieiigmglicmsclves to separate State action, in the Contention,anil finally, they were interrogated as

to this point, by a correspondent of your paper,signing himself " Kuffalo." Now, I willnot waste time in showing tlie absurdity of requiringmen to pledge themselves in relation ton, matter of which, at that time, they could notjudge, and upon which thoy were to be electedto deliberate.because, in this free country,svery man has a right to ask any question hepleases, and we have bad some precious specimensof the exercise of this right very lately,in a neighboring District. I neither praise norblame him for it. At all events, some of theL-andidates saw fit to reply, (Messrs. Lang,

Cantey, Shannon and Patterson.) Now remember,this was a test question : it was to decidewhether the Delegates were to go for co-operationor not; its avowed object was to find whowere the secossion men, and who were for cooperation.The interrogator wanted to be answeredwithout " equivocation or doubt."And now mark the responses.First, .Mr. Shannon, in answer to the query,

replied that he would unhesitatingly say, that ifwe had no hope ol co-operation, that ho was

opposed to separate State action, still, undercontinued aggressions, he might be impelled toadvocate it as a "dernier resort".but if lie iselected, he must "gofrcr. and untrammelled."

Mr. Patterson* said, in substance, lie was

in favor of co-operatiou, and was willing towait for it, and if we could not obtain it, then

j- < ...i- lu .i. _i! ec ane was in lavor or separate otaie action. as

to the time when South Carolina should secedealone, depends much upon future events, and Iam unwilling to embarrass myself with a pledge,thinking it should be left to the prudence andsound discretion ol those whom you may honorwith your confidence."

Maj. Cantey said, in substance -he was

willing to wait a "reasonable time" for co-op.eration, if then it could not be obtained, hewas in favor of separate State action ; but goeson to say, "I wish it to be understood that 1am to take my seat untrammelled, and act accordingto the circumstances that may exist atthe time."

Ma. Lang said substantially.he wished forco operation, hut if it could not be obtained, hewas in favor of Carolina's acting alone, andthen in conclusion, says: "This is my opinionas at present advised, not pledging myseif toany particular course of action, irrespective ofcircumstances that may arise affecting the expediencyof the step." «It will be see», thatnot one of the four pledged themselves to separateState action.there was indeed a differenceof opinion as to the remedy for our grievancebetween Mr. Shannon and the other respondingcandidates.that is not the point underconsideration-.and they all agreed in onething, namely, not pledging themselves. Therewas plainly then no issue made. All the candidatesthat answered, stood all together.there may have been private pledging amongthe candidates.of this we know nothing.There, in the Journal, was the public refusalto pledge, and in relation to that matter, Messrs.Cantey, Lang, Patterson and Shannon, allstood by these answers, on precisely the sameplatform.that is, they tied themselves downto no particular course of action, [t wouldhave been ridiculous if thev had.The day of election at last arrived and past

.nothing extraordinary occurred.all was

quiet.there seemed to be no greater number ofpersons in town from the surrounding country,than we usually find on Bank day every week.In Camden, there were 207 votes polled, a littlemore than halfas many ashad been cast for cap-tain oftlie Beat ten days before. There was notthe slightest excitement among the voters of the

tiDistrict.many of them did not know that anelection was being I: Id and did not know theobject of the election (lor very obvious reasons,)and the great majority stayed al honjewithout voting at all, and out of a DistricHfiutin 1848 polled SOG votes for Cirri; if tju^fjourt,but 3G4 votes were cast for Delegates to aConvention whose object, we are told, is to upsetthe whole government, and construct a newone for us ami future generations! One of theboxes that in 1818 cast 10!) votes for Clerk, atthe election for Delegates to the Conventioncast only 8 rotes! ! And from one Box in a

populous part of the District, we never havehad any return .we do not even know that thePolls were opened. I learn by diligent inquirythat the box wasopened, and about twenty votespolled, and a return made. » however, caniind no such return. Now is there a greaterabsurdity ? Can any thing be more ridiculous,than for the Journal, in the face of this meagervote, when there was no issue presented, evento the few that voted, in the face of this partialreturn, to say that this District went for Secession! Yet the Journal announced the resultas follows: "Kershaw has pluuted her banneron Secession* ground.Cautey, Lang andPatterson".when I have just shown that thesethree gentlemen expressly declined pledgingthemselves publicly, and that not one halt' thevoters of the District went to the polls. I thinkit can be clearly drawn from the above, thatthis District did not give an expression of opinionin favor of separate State action by electingLang, Cantey and Patterson. 1N0; noteven did the 30-1 votes give an expression ofopinion, for there was no issue made.

It seems to bo plain Mr. Editor, that theDistrict is not pledged to Secession by the clection of separate State action Delegates, notwithstandingyour confident announcement tothe contrary.

In my next I propose to consider whetherthey pledged themselves by their resolutionsadopted at their several District meetings. 1hereunto aiinex a statement of the number ofvotes polled last February, which owing tosome cause, has never before been published:

To the People of Lancaster District.Fkmow-Citikhns:.At a mooting of the

Southern Rights Association of this District,held on the 5th inst., Col. Dixon H. Barnes, of

your District, and Gen. William A. Owens, of

Fairfield, were nominated ns candidates to representthis Congressional District in the proposedSouthern Congress. In submitting theirnames to you, we the Executive Committee are

charged to address you on the questions of the

day.There is no difference of opinion in tbisDisI

trict, as to the grievances of which wo complain.| They are in their character insulting and op'pressive ; so much so, that 110 people can sub-

.ma...11.mit to them and be "tree and equal/' or lonjremain independent, but soon, will become subservient, to powers, other, than those of theiiown choosing. The ablest man of the partyopposed to secession says, ' [ feel humiliatecinto the very dust." This is the general opinionin South Carolina. We do not propose tcdwell on the subject of our wrongs. All parties admit, they are sufficient to justify us itseceding and taking "the separate station a

mong the nations of the earth to which natunand nature's God entitle us." Wo only propose to discuss the remedy.

There are in this District two parties professedly seeking to resist the wrongs inflicted uporus.the so-called co-operation party and tinsecession party. Let us carefully but brieflyexamine the principles of these two parties, ant

see which is most likely to resist wrong, ani

sustain the ancient honor of the State, ant

"the peace, safety, anil happiness of the peopie."

Secession from the Union is the remedy pronosed bv both parties; but the co-operatiorparty say they will go out, only with the com

pany of the other Southern States, or a part o;them. The secessionists say, they desire co

operation, but if they fail to get it, then thejthink South Carolina should take her rights intoher own keeping and secede alone.The committee propose briefly to examine

the-e two plans of action, and leave it to you, fellow-citizens,to choose which you will bike..You will observe at the outset that the co-oporation party, makes the action of South Carolina depend on that of other States. It appearsto us, that this is dangerous doctrine. Supposeall the Southern States submit.abandon Statesovereignty.then will not Soutli Carolina, heiaction depending on them, submit too? Unquestionablyshe will if the doctrine of the cooperationparty prevails. And are South Caroliniansnow, prepared to make the State dowhat she never lias (lone.submit 1 Hut let us

examine further. What is co-operation? It iswhat we all most earnestly desire; we wouldlike lor the whole South to go with us; billwill they do it?.look to the facts! All of theSouthern States, with the single exception olMississippi, have either submitted to, or acquiescedin, the late outrages of the FederalGovernment. There is in some of the Sates a

Southern Rights party, but it is a feeble oue,and dares not openly advocate secession..Then since these States have submitted, can

we reasonably hope, that they will altar theirdetermination and secede with us. It is almostfolly to expect it. In view of this state ol'affairs,is it wise to make the action of SouthCarolina depend on that of these States? Doesit not amount to this that she like them willsubmit, and like them be laughed at by our

Northern oppressors ? If South Carolina hasrights and those rights have been trampled on,would it not be better for her to secede alone,relying for success on the strong arms of hersons, and the protection of the God who foughtthe battles of our forefathers, than basely submitto be robbed of her rights, because otherStates submit? It is forj-ou to answer thequestion. But in reply to this, some of the cooperationparty will aav, they are opposed, to

submission. We know there are many men

in that party who d<> not intend to submit, buttheir principles wjil lead tlioai to it. we icei

assured that they are deceiving themselves, andwhat is far worse, they are acting with thosewho are at heart suhmissionists, in deceivingothers.deceiving into their ranks men whodesire co-operation, hut failing to get it, wouldlose the last drop of blond, rather than SouthCarolina should become a submission Sftate.But say the eo-opcralionists, or sume of them,wait for co-operation a reasonable time, and ifwe do not get it then, we will secede alone.Are they sincere? These very men will tellyou tuat to secede alone would lie suicidal, ruinous,and that South Carolina could not existas a separate nation. And yet they say .whenall reasonable hope of co-operation fails theywill secede alone. Can you believe them ?.They will, assuredly, not agree to secede alone,under any circumstances, or else they do notbelieve that separate secession would be ruinous,dec. Hut further than this: What do theymean by a reasonable time ? Do they mean

during the existence of the Convention to meetsome time next year? If so, wearewith themheart and hand. But they do not moan this;that is the platform ol the secession party.dome* of them will not say what they mean by"rcosonable limeothers will say five, ten, amieven twenty years. A great mail once saidthat liberty might be lost in a day and the factnot be found out for a century. If lie had livedin this State, and time, he might have added,"and some people after finding that they havelost it, will wait a century before they try to

regain it.'' Perhaps the shortest way to get atthe meaning ol the word co-operation, will beto give the definition, given by a candid memberof that party.one of the ablest and mosthonest men in this District. He says lie "goesfor co-operation, and co-operation means submission."

Let us in the next place examine the doctrineof separate secession. The secession partydesire co-operation, and they have been, andare still working to obtain it. To this end theaddress to the Southern States, bv the Conventionin May last was written. To this end thecentral committee appointed by that Convention,has been, and still is laboring. On theother hand, what is the other party doing to

get co-operation ( Nothing, absolutely nothing! Hut the secessionists go further, and saythat if they fail to get co-operntion, then SouthCarolina should secede alone. And their doctrineis this, that the Convention to meet next

year, should do all in its power to get the cooperationof other States, but if it should fail,then make ample preparations, and as a last resort,preferable to submission, place South Carolinaout of the Union. Now which is the true

co-operation, and which the true resistanceparty1! Does not the secession party combineboth these qualities; and does it not point on)

the safest and most honorable course for Sout!Carolina to pursue iThere are several objections urged agains

separate State eecossion. There is not one o

them founded in gqod reason. It is said thathe secession party are for cutting loose fronthe Union immediately, without any govern

r mental preparation; and that they do not even Jso much as desire co-operation. This is all anrtrue, fellow-citizens, and is said to deceive you 1

r into the ranks of the co-operatiou party. TheI doctrine of the secession party, we have alreadystated, and it proves that the secessionists> desire co-operation, and the facts show that

they are the only party working to obtain it..i The Convention will find it their first and cheif-est duty after they have determined to secede,j to make governmental preparations. Where- then is the objection ?

It is further objected, that South Carolina istoo small and ins!(rn!finonj </> - -

...w.g.iiuvttUK i.u caioi as a sepn* Ii rate State; and that the people would be bur- I> thened with taxes. Wonderful discovery, this. |f There are in the world, many governments 11 smaller than South Carolina, and they exist, 11 and their people are not half as much oppress- 11 ed with taxes as we are now, in this glorious. Union. By means of the odious* Tariff, SouthCarolina now pays to the support of the fed.eral government about four millions ofdollars.i less than half of which would defray all addi.tional expense South Carolina would be put tof in a separate government. There is, therefore,.1 no force in the objection. The truth is, fellow

| citizens, if our State secedes, we will be less.! burthened with taxes than we now are. Therearc other objections, but it would extend too

> far, the limits of this address, to notice themhere. If it should be necessary, it will be done

. hereafter.In conclusion, fellow-citizens, let ns urge uponyou, to support Col. Barnes «nrt dan n,.r

5' ens. They are every way qualified for the trust Is I we propose to place in their hands. They ad- 1

vocate the principles of the Secession.party as 'we have laid them down, and if elected "theywill do all in their power to procure the co-op.eratian of the Southern States. '
