Those " narks should properly have accompanied -that /Mr, but were excluded fur want of room. Mr. Campbell was appointed a Delegate to the prevention, by a public meeting of the citizens Augusta, and no doubt was apprised of that ipiintmcnt and the object of the Convention, , rd’yet he neither resigned, nor made any public >j*ction to serving, lie was in attendance at ,*Uhurch during the session of the Convcn an; his name was called and recorded as a ■ember, and published as such in the city papers ! the next day, and yet he neither through the ’resident of that body, or through tho public ints, or in any public manner whatever, made ' «, objection to tho objects or proceedings of the onvention, or to being considered himself a ember of it ! Ho could have refused the ap -/An (merit when it was originally made; he % t*ld have resigned, or withdrawn from tire Con s|'J|iiion ; he could have opposed the whole ; heme and had his protest recorded with the jther proceedings; in a word he could have taken 5 i ■any ways to have signified his opposition. He ■ (iwever suffered his name to be announced, ro irdcd and published as a member of the Con ,nation, attended its sessions and listened to its •yoecedings, and making no opposition to any f these things, left the impression that he acqni „ raced in what was done ; and now, neatly a yeek after the adjournment of that body, ho announces through tho public papers that ho icsircs it to be known that he “trok no part in jjl,proceedings,” and denounces the objects" of itp Convention, as “ abhorrent to all his ideas of satrfatism !! ” Mr. Campbell has a perfect enjoy whatever may bo his ideas of pat lOtism, and we claim no right to interfere with we claim for others (he same right, and ho further right of defending their motives and ondqct when thus publicly impugned. It is not WO that the object of the Convention was to “sever r commercial connections with tho North, d substitute for them those of a foreign nation.’’ Ve dps ire to exclude nothing produced-or tnanu jjetorid at the north, from our markets! we desire to prevent no produce of the South from going to northern markets! on the contrary wo desire a per yijtuai interchange of commodities with each and every portion of the Union, by which we may he mutually benefited and enriched. We desire still to sell to our northern friends, our cotton, ricc& tobacco, to the full extent of their wants, and to purchase of them every thing they may have to sell which we desire to use; but there are many articles. of foreign produce and manufacture, both ot luxury and necessity, which wo are in (ho hab it of using and for which we pay with the pro ceeds of our cotton, rice, and tobacco. These ar ticles arc chiefly imported into the United Stales by northern merchants, ami re-shipped to the sotilh-?-thcsc merchants purchase our cotton to sell jn Europe to pay there for these goods—they thus become factors for the our cotton and purchase for us the goods we usel We now pro pose to sell our cotton ourselves in Europe, and purchase and import directly to our own shores such foreign articles as we want. Is there any thing unpatriotic in our doing sol Is there an? wrodg Ui it! Is it unjust? nay, is it oven uukind- It is a mere matter of economy, and if we can save’Sny thing by it, it is our duty to do so. If we can save the commissions upon tho sale and purchase, and tho profits of intermediate buyers and sellers, are we not right in doing so ? Ifonilieconl.ary our northern friends can do these things for us cheaper than wo can do them ourselves, we shall not be long in finding out that it U labor thrown away and the enterprizo will bo abandoned- Wo ask il the planter oflhe up country has not a perfect right to bring his own Cotton to Augusta and sell it himself and buy [his Groceries, instead of paying a Commis sion Merchant to do it for him ? If he can do hotter with it by going to Savannah, can the mer chant of Augusta complain ? No ! Tho cases are analogous, and yet according to Mr. Camp hell’s ethics, the planter would be committing an outrage “abhorrent to all his ideas of patriot ism.” If it is right for the merchants of the north tdscll Cotton m Europe and import goods, we itsk in the name of common sense and common justice il it is not equally right for tho merchant or the planter of the South to do the same ? Oh no, says Mr, Campbell, any attempt to tiring about such a state of things, is an object, “abhor rent to all my ideas of patriotism !” Wo have perhaps attached more importance (l 6 this matter than il deserved ; it has not been with the hope of convincing Mi. Campbell, but for the purpose of placing this matter correctly be fore the country. If that gentleman had confin ctljiimself to a simple disclaimer of having agreed to-lhc acts of the Convention, there would have been nothing improper in it; but when he makes that‘disclaimer in a scornful lone and follows R , hip-with a denunciatory lecture upon patriotism, Re bares himself to tho lash of satire, from the fnorited slings of which he escapes in considera tion alone of his being a private citizen. the Savannuh Republican Sale or as Abolitionist. —Judge lynch has al work again : On Sept, 38, it was ascertained that Captain Jluggclt (.ui Englishman,) of the Belli.

Wo were told that though ea /icdienl,\\'B should not make this State hank a de pository, “because it would be a triumph over the e Government?

These Governments wore both, tojie sure, suppo- B sed to ho inimical to the present Slate bank, be cause they did not like Mr Biddle, its president, ’ who was formerly president of the national insti e tulion. But wliut had tho Government had to b do with the present Stale institution ? He hud a supposed, until lately, that tho Government meant the legislative power, as established by the Con stitution ; and if the people through their repre sentatives, according to the forms of the Conslilu - lion, should deem it expedient to make any State $ institution a depository, it would he no objection , with him that either the exPresidenl, or present Executive, runs supposed lo be inimical to one of its officers. Ido not propose (said he) to 1 make this inst.lution a depository, and nobody 3 has proposed or thought of proposing it, so far as 1 I know. Why, then, this warwhoop against it? 1 ! To show our devotion to the supposed Executive will 1 “A change, what a change,” has been produced in the lone of American feeling by those f violent encroachments and recent triumphs of t the Executive over the Legislative authority, in relation lo the finances! All eyes are turned 10 the Executive. The spirit of our fathers has fled. 1 Tho blood of’76 has run out. Sir, there have 1 been more gray hairs brought upon the head of I our youthful and vigorous republic in tho last j four years, than ought to have grown upon it in 1 one entire century of quiet and peaceful adminis r (ration, with tho constitutional cooperation of the ■ legislative departments. ’ My friends need not he astonished at the free dom with which I express these sentiments. s They believe with mo, they have acted with me. We have vainly stood up together against the ' 1 will of the Executive. Our efforts have been im potent. We have been trampled under foot. 1 1 The Executive has had his way, and we sec the _ result. I only wish my friends to join mo in taking ,a firm stand to teach the Executive that ' ' his friends are to bo consulted in measures of 1 ■ such immense importance to the People as those i by which our finances have been ruined.

All 1 I am as a politician I was made so by parly. I 1 have no sympathies witli any other party except 1 that with which I have always acted,and by which 1 I have been honored. I respect my politician op- ( ponents as my fellow citizens, living under the 1 same laws, subject to the same Government, and 1 equally honest and patriotic with myself. But I ‘ differ with them in some of the essential and fun- 1 damenlal principles upon which our Government 1 should be administered, and have nothing lo ask, and nothing to expeat from them. lam a democrat, a real democrat. I do not c make the profession ad captandum ; I fear it is v becoming rather unpopular; but my early habits 1 and youthful associations made me so. In fact, 1 the sentiment was planted in my heart nature, a cultivated by education, and approved by reason. v I believed a democratic Republic to he the most I 1 philosophical government, and beast calculated to 1 J dcvclopo the energies and sustain the dignity of 1 man, so long as the People have sufficient Intel- ligcnce to qualify, them for self government. I, ' therefore, abhor tyranny and irresponsible power ® in every possible form in which it can he presen- J ted ; whether it be presented in tho hypocritical garb of republican homespun, or tinselled over in 1 tho glittering trapping of royally. I go for a 1 strict construction of the Constitution, limited ' Executive patronage, and an economical admiuls- e (ration of the Government ; and you will never I find me here, sir, with democracy and economy 1 upon the lips,and tyranny and plunder in tho -: heart. “1 borrow no false liveries from heaven ' to serve the devil in.” Mr K after some further remarks, concluded v this branch of the subject, by saying, that he had 1 full confidence that the President, when some c present uillicullics were removed, would adminis- * ter his department with wisdom and patriotism, v and he hoped and expected to be able to give him 1 his feeble support. But be just wished lo tell s him now, that if he intended “lo tread in the foot- ’ steps” of his predecessor in trampling on the leg- I islativa authority’, in the management of a sub- 1 jecl ofall oth rs of the most importance to the People, he should feel it his duly to jostle him out I of them. He never would consent, ho said, to ' surrender the finances to the exclusive control of ' the Executive. If we did this, vve should first ‘ hecomea nation of heggais, and then a nation of 1 slaves. ! V Mr. K. said he had boon led on to a length altogether unexpected to himself, and he feared | tiresome lo the Senate. Several oilier topics had j been suggested by the remarks of other gentle- ' men, that he would like to touch, but he would ] ■ dispense with ibem, and come lo a conclusion, I after a few words more upon the hill and amend- , , menl under consideration. As lo the separation ' from the ■‘Mate banks as depositories, ho concciv * cd that a matter of no great consequence, if in 1 the details we could provide safety lo the money, and guard against 100 much patronage and ex pense. But, the bill he thought imperfect and ' obscure on both these points. And when we ‘ had passed the hill, we should have but little i lea of what we had done. As lolhe amendment proposed, which restrict ed the receipts of the Government to gold and a silver, he could never consent lo think of it, w ithout hearing from his constituents, so long as 1 specie is not the summon currency, used liylhc > Popple in the business transactions of the coun try. They are never prepared with a currency | not in common circulation, and would often j and truly ho reminded of tho Roman quie i tors, who were in the liajiit, among olhc.* acts of tyrranny, of demanding parlicnJur kind, of money for the purposes ol extortion. Here 11,000 specie gatherers, demanding a currency net furnished the People by tiit-ir own Slates, or by the ordinary circulation, will give them more trouble than all their other pecuniary transactions, and, being different to the demands made upon them for eiiale taxes, will givo lo the Federal Government an alien character of tyiAnny and oppression. He could not conceive, he said, of a measure better calculated to give to the Govern ment cf the Union the appearance of a foreign Government, anti alienate the affections olThc People from it, than the measure proposed. But wo are told that the Government only demands the constitutional currency, and there fore only asserts a right. This ts true, sir; but is it the part of practical wisdom lo exert all the power we have, and assert all the rights wo claim? Every man has a right lo demand specie at ail times for every sale he makes, mid for every debt due him. But suppose every body were to do it, whilst paper is the common currency, what would bacoma of tho country? Suppose all the merchants ofa single city were to suddenly demand specie for all dues from their customers for sales made and to he made, they would only assert a right: and yet what would bo the result? Tho effect would be such upon their debtors, and dealers, that they would probably mob the merchants out oflhe city. You propose that the government shall do that with the people which people dare not do with each other. Look at the conduct of tho people towards the hanks ever since they have stopped payment, and specie is at a largo premium: do they assert their rights, though they have every inducement lo do so? I will refer to my own State as a strong argument lo dissipate theoretical bean ies by practical consequences. There the banks arc by law compelled to pay 18 per cent, on a refusal to pay specie. They are good, and every bill holder could get his principal and his 18 per cent in specie, if he were to demand and insist on it. — No man of capital could make so good an invest ment as to get a large sum in Augusta hank hills, make a demand, and hold them till the bank resumes specie payments. Yet nobody docs this; and why? Because they are all friendly to banks? Not at all, sir. It is because the fare rightened at a viewjf the consequences, and yield their own to the interests oflhe community. They know that if specie is forced from tho hanks, the hanks will have to force it from the merchants, and the merchants from the planters and the great mass of consumers; and before the matter wound up, its effects would ho equal lo the confiscation of one third of the properly of tho country. The laborious and industrious classes constitute the debtor class, which are much the most numerous, and much the most needy. On this class the sacrifice would ultimately full. The benefits would bo confined to a few creditors, capitalists, and money lenders. And the measure you propose (said Mr. K.) will operate precisely in the manner I have described, though perhaps not to the same extent. Il will do to talk about and spoak about here, and some people may think, well of it, whilst they think il is only going to put tho merchants to a little trouble; but when they find, from experience, that the merchants are only their factors, and the operation falls on them, they will bo prepared for a more practical view of the subject. Mr. K, said lie was, to be sure, opposed to the hanking system, particularly its abuses. But the people had established il, become accustomed to it, and it now seemed necessary lo their business and prosperity. He saw no reason or expediency in taking away the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury to receive the notes of specie paying banks when they resume, disburse them for government purposes at tho points where collected, and call on the hanks for balances,when necessary for transfers of the Government funds from tho points where collected, to the points where needed. Mr. K. hero commented upon tho estimates which tho Senators from Missouri and North Carolina hac pul upon current bank hills, and tho losses which the hill holders had sustained by the suspension of specie payments. They seem ■ cd lo estimate the actual value of a bank bill by the proportion which the specie in the vaults of the hanks bore to the aggregate of circulation and deposites ; as though the banks had no other means to pay their liabilities but specie. In this way tho Senators make out the loss of the Peo ple by the banks to bo immense. Could there ho any advantage in propagating oirors so palpable? As a practical question, so far from the hill hol ders having lost, they had generally gained by the suspension. Mr. K. here discussed the na ture and purposes of money. Money, said he, represents commodities. Its uses are lo com mand them at pleasure, and circulate them with convenience. Whatever answers this purpose, answers the purposes of money. Its value de ponds on tho quantity of commodities il will command, and this again depends on tho relation which tile quantity of money bearsto the quanti ty of commodities. Tho active circulating medium has been great ly reduced in quantity since the suspension, not only by withdrawing specie from circulation, which lias become a commodity, but by a rcduc liou of hank paper, and hence it is that current bank paper is now much more valuable than gold and silver was before the suspension, whilst tho whole currency, both paper and specie, was de preciated by its redundant quantity. Are tho passions and picjudices of men to bo wrought upon when their senses may direct them? Do we not know as an admitted fact, that current hank hills arc more valuable now than before the suspension? Let mo askjone of these suffering bill-holders what he wishes to do with his money which lie held at the time of the suspension? Docs he owe a debt? If so, his creditor will be glad lo receive il, and expects nothing else. Does he wWltohuy provisions for his family? If so, he gets them cheaper than he could before the sus pension of sped - payments. Does ho wish to buy real estate er stocks? If so he can get them from 30 to 50 per cent, cheaper than he could before the suspension of specie payments. In short, there is no purpose fur which money is used, for which bills arc not now more valuable to the hol der than before the suspension, whilst the whole currency was depreciated by its quantity, except for the payment ofa foreign debt. Those, then, who clamor most about their losses have lost nothing, but generally gained. The merchants susiain tho whole loss that is sustained, for they receive il from their debtors at par, and have to pay a premium lor specie lo pay their foreign cred itors. Strictly and logically speaking, Mr. King said paper was nova depreciated, when compared now witii silver, by the amount of premium on specie oecause wo had no other legal standard lo goby. All he meant to say was, that paper was more valuable now than specie was before the suspen sion, and, therefore, tho holder had lost nothing. So glaring was the fallacy of estimating the loss of tho community by tho difference between the amount of specie in their vaults and the liabilities ol the banks, that the community owed the banks more than the banks owed the community. Each has a right to claim specie; and witli a little lime for adjustment, the banks could settle every dollar against them without n dollar in specie. He did not wish to be understood as advocating or even apologizing for an irredeemable bank paper; it was too precarious, and subject to fluctuation. But, as practical legislators,we should view things as they arc, and be could see no expediency in endeavoring lo impose such fallacies on an alrea dy excited community. Mr. K. concluded by saying that he had no wish lo postpone discussion, and, therefore, was indifferent as to the present fate ofliis motion.— But as lie did not like either project, as presented, and wished time to digest a better, he could not consistently make any other motion, and,tbcre forc,moved the postponement of the whole subject lo the first Monday in December next. Emm the Charleston Min im/ , TUULIU MEETING. At a largo and respectable meeting of the citi zens, convened on Satimluy morning last’, at the City Hall, bis Honor Henry L. I’incknoy, May or of the City,was called lo the Chair, A W ill.am Aikin requested to act as Secretary. Tae Mayor having slated the object of the call upon the . citizens, Col. Arthur P. liayno rose, and address ed the meeting in a very warm and impassioned manner, and concluded by offering a set of Re solutions, and after being read uyjtbi Chair, Josh ua V/. Toomcr, Esq., requested tho ’mover to withdiaw them, which ho did, and Mr. Toomcr, after making some very appiopriute and feeling remarks, proposed the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were seconded by James G. Holmes, Esq., and unanimously adopted: When the feelings of a w hole community are agonized by a sudden ami unexpected calamity —and when their sorrow is mingled with a just indignation under the belief that the immediate cause of their affliction is to he traced lo the guil [ ly negligence of man—it is right and proper that the people should moot together to condole with the bereaved—to inquire into the true cause of the disaster, and lo take such measures as may afford some safeguard against the recurrence. , The citizens of Charleston are now clotbej in ■ mourning, by the recent shipwreck of the Steam . Packet Home, on her last voyage from New , York to this port. They can oiler no consola tion to those who mourn (heir departed relations • and friends—save that which is to bo found in j the promise and hope of Religion, and the heartfelt sympathies of their fellow men.—But under the dictates of benevolence and prudence, , they would endeavor by a judicious course of . conduct, to prevent as far as in them lies—the recurrence of a similar calmily from the criminal , neglect of men, who, eager in tho search after money, forget the value of life, and feel no re sponsibility in honor]or in conscience for the safe ty of those, who confide in their faith and skill. The reckless disregard of human life, observable in the conduct oflhe owners and officers of Steam Vessels, has almost become a national reproach. It is high lime, that the united voice of die people should be raised against this crying evil. The occasion which now convcno-s (he people of Char leston, allow that voice lo he no lunger still. Be it therefore. , Resolved, That the citizens of Charleston len der to the friends of their lamented countrymen, who were recently lost by the shipwreck of tho boat “Home,” their warmest sympathies, and de plore the loss of the community in the death of so many valuable and enterprising cilizons, 2d, That a Commitlee of twenty-one he appoin ted lo inquire into the character of the late Steam Packet Home, ami the conduct of her comman der on the recent voyage, and also lo examine the character and condition of the Steam Packets now in tho trade, and further lo suggest such measures as being adopted by the people, may lead to some protection against similar calamities. 3d, That the Committee solo bo nominated, shall make their report as early as possible to the Honorable the City Council, who are hereby re quested to publish the same, and carry such of its 1 recommendations as may need their action, into effect, on behalf of the ci.lz .-ns, HiSjHonor the Mayor, asked permission to ap point the Committee of twenty-one after the ad journment of the was granted,— ■ when the Hon. Alfred Huger arose, and in an elo quent and very impressive manner addressed the citizens, and offered the following Resolutions: Be il therefore Resolved, That all suggestions tending to give safety to the citizens of Charles ton, and to the stranger who visits our shores, so far as their transportation is concerned, should properly am! equally emanate from this meeting. Resolved, That the custom, now almost uni versal, of publishing “Cards,” in commendation of packet vessels Coming to our waters, oi of tho Captains who commatld them, is inexpedient and pernicious; because the ilierc performance of a voyage is no evidence of the Illness of a vessel— and the lucre escape from suffering, is no evidence of courtesy orthc skill of her commander, because such expressions of approbation, resulting more frequently from their feelings, than from any oth er cause, are calculated lo excite confidence before it is earned, and ensure patron igo before it is deserved, Therefore, Resolved, Thai this meeting earn estly recommend lo the whole people of Soulh Carolina, and of the United States, hereafter lo abstain from any annunicalion of their feelings or opinion opon this subject, except in cases where extraordinary merit and execution, clearly estab lished, shall entitle any individual lo their praise, 1 or where delinquency or neglect, shall entitle ' others to their censure. J Those resolutions wore put and unanimously , adopted. • Tho Rright Rev. Bishop Enoi.avh, and his ' honor Judge Axsus, made some very happy and important remarks upon the foregoing resolu tions. j The honorable Judge Lkb then proposed the following resolution, which was unanimously s adopted: 1 Resolved, That until the Legislature or Con- i gri ss make the necessary regulations on this deep- ; ly interesting subject, that the City Council be , requested to appoint one or more mechanics, and s one or more experienced ship-builders, whose du ty il shall he, immediately on tho arrival ol a steam boat from Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadel- ' phia, New York, or from any other port or place, bringing passengers, to visit her, and minutely and 1 particularly to examine tho machinery of such * boat, her hull and other equipments, and to cer- I tify to the master, that she is, or is not sea worthy. And that it be earnestly recommended to the cili- I zens and others, not lo go lo sea in any steamboat, i unless the master produces such certificate of her , sea worthiness. / On motion, the meeting was adjourned.

But i when the relentless hand of death, strikes at ( youth,and worth, and beauty ; and the bright j eye, that beamed but yesterday is closed for ever; i and swift as the lightning’s Hash, the object ol our affections, is torn from us, grid is irresistible , and the heart must have its vent. For there is j a mournful consolation, in ministering lo the last wants of those we love, to know that all human • aid was given to shield the victim from the dcs- , troyci’s dart —lor who can smooth affliction’s pillow, like a mother ? whoso bosom like hers, lo support [the drooping head, and in tho lan- ( guage of early affection whisper hope, while even , she who utters it is conscious of its fallacy? Hut when far from home, amid the howling of the storm, the darkness of night, and the despairing cries foi [mercy, we picture to ourselves a young and helpless lining, with no brother, no friend to cling 10, with all the buoyancy of youth, which sucli must feel, and learn the sad result that she is lost forever, who among those acquainted with her virtues, and her worth, can resist the tribute ofa tear to her memory ?
