To effect a separation of South Caro lina from the Union. I know our opponents fuel peculiary sensitive on this subject. I know that ntauy now pretend that they never desired such an event to take pl ico. They de ny vociferously that a dissolution of the union formod any part of their schema ultimately, or that any of weir leaders had mi eye to tho “im perial purple" on so insignificant n scale.— Now I grant that it would havo suited those men batter if they could have onlisted Goorgia, North Carolina, Virginia or Alabama into their measures; but it has struck ino inasmuch as tho status last moutionod held fast to tliuir integrity, that those s-iau loaders woro satisfied with South Carolina alone. I am willing to ad mit that nnny of tho uninitiated had no desire that a convention should assemble to oITcct a dissolution, but lam not to be easily persuaded that tlw loaders of the opposition had no such viowi Why were tho people called upon ore rotuttdo not to tremblo at disunion! Why was it asscrtdtl that it was limo to unfurl tho bannor of the state against the. union! Why was it assortcd'ihat tho seeds of disunion wore sown broad-cast in ilm constitution, and that thoro was such a diversity of interest botwoon the northern and southern states, that they, could not live togother undur tho aamu govern ment? Why was it said that Virginia would never permit tho yankocs to traverso hor soil for tho purposo of shedding our blood; nnd when did tho yankoos dusiro to shod blood? Why was every symptom of discontent in Gcor- 5tii!y. It is said wu ought to have a con vention to ascertain whether we will submit to the tariff laws, or resist them. This is only another form of presenting the same question. A convention is certainly qtii'e unnecessary to givn efficiency or force to the revenue laws.— Tho President is able to see them carried in to execution without the assistance of n con vention, and if lie found such a step requisite, I think it would by all means bo most appro priate that tho suggestion for u convention to nssisl in executing the laws should come from himself. If u convention can bo of any utility then in ascertaining whether wo will submit or resist, it must be to devise the mode an t means of resistance and i ho time and manner of action against tbo laws of tho country. In this point of view it is disunion and civil war. Gilily. The convention would he leaning the people's business to the people themselves.— Thoro is somo plausibility in this idea, but upon examination it will be found that a fallacy lurks beneath it. If it bo necessary to ascertain the somimsnts of the people in regatd to submis sion or resistance iu any definito way, let an issuo he made up and sent to the people.—' This could be very easily dono ami the ques tion decided at once.

But it is said tho judges nnd ntliors nro not eligiblo to seats in the legislature, and therefore lo have the benefit of their counsels wo ought to have a convention.

Why did So many cry out,“I am ready," if there was not some most diabolical project in contemplation? It is intlocd said that tho u- nion party alarmed tho pooplo, and appealed time for every patriot to bo alarmed? Was it not reasonable that every lover of his country should fool apprehensions? Tho idoa is now to mo that an appoal to tho patriotism of tho peo ple should be considered an appoal to their ♦ears, or that a regard for tho union of the states is a base passion, lam my self satisfied that all resistance must end in a dissolution of tho union and in civil war, and I am also strongly of opinion that if tho pooplo could havo been ■ ■ .... ,, - . seduced into tho .tonsure, disunion tv mid have ,aln, ' J ' vc 6« <» »!•«* ^m\An and expense I annlffin .»f ft ■ r»111 I I t* tl I II1 fl - rPSN* Stilly.

So perfectly calm and urn disturbed were thoy, that they only rousod themselves to put down this very proposition, In this point of viow a convention is quito un necessary. 9thly.

To Mathew Averett Esq. Musi ot our readers have henred of tho death of ihe unfortunate Major Brady, formerly a member of tho • Legislature from R-ndolpli county, wfio was killed by a ball discharged from a rifle at Hiclieto creek, about a mouth ago. The assassin was soon discovered to be ■in Indian of the Oswiiche tribe, living among the Creeks, by the name of Tom, a perfect outlaw in character even among his own peo- f lie, nnd the same desperado who had previous- v killed ftlr. M-yo, and shot at and wounded M . Thompson. VVe are happy to say that he has paid the peualiy of his bloody crimes, and fall n by tho samo fell weapon with which ho had done such dreadful execution upon his in nocent victims. After iho death of the lamented Brady, n constant vigilanco was kopt tip in tho neighbor hood for tho apprehension of the murderer, us well by the Indians as tiro whites. But Tom, keeping Inmsdf mostly in the woods, on this sido of the river, apart from his tribe, eluded efforis until Wednesday the 9‘h of this inst. when lie was discovered by ifnoihor Indian near Culpepper’s old store, about twenty miles below this place, on this side of the Chattahoo chee, endeavoring to obtain u canoo with which to cross over to tho nation. Tho Indian told him tha he could not cross tliero, but must go to Boykin's forry, about three miles below.— Ho then encamped in the neighborhood for tho night, and the other Indian near him. During the night tho latter got up, crossed tho rivor, and gave inform,mion to a whito man by the iiiinie of Sims, living in tho nation, of the mur derer’s being in iho vicinity, nnd of his intou- liun to cross the ferry in tho morning. Sims immediately collected a parly of about thirty Indians and repaired to the ferry, and they had not been there more than halfun hour when the niuiderer made his appearance on tho opposite side. II iving obtained the canoe, ho crossed over, and was about gathering his plunder nnd provisions which ho had with him, when Sims and his party discovered themselves to him.— He evinced no emotion when ho saw them, but calmly nwaited their movements. Sims advanced and attempted to fire, but his rifle on ly snapped. Tho Indians then fired simultn- feet.
