From tlie Charleston Courier. Letter from the Hon. J. It. Poinsett, TO THE rF.OTLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, S. C. Dec. 4, 1850. Fellow-Citizens :—My object in addressing you in tliis crisis of our affairs, will scarcely be misunderstood. lam a Carolinian by birth and principle, and all I own in the world is vested in lands and negroes. I have a common interest, then, in the question before the country, and a right to ex press my views and opinions. I should not, however. luvr departed from # my determination to abstain from taking part in politics, if I had not lately enjoyed- unusual opportunities of observing the conduct and character of the opposition made aft the North to our institutions ; and if I had not per ceived from the tenor of the speeches and writings published in the State, that the subject is not fully understood in South Carolina. These speeches and writings have tended to irri tate the feelings of some and to alarm the fears of others a rnong our fellow-citizens of the North. Many, however, a mong them, have regarded these outbursts of passion without resentment, and have assembled together, in vast meetings, to testify their devotion to the Union, and their firm deter mination to maintain the laws of the country. On one of these occasions, on my passage through Philadelphia, I was solicited to be present, that I might witness their procceed ings, and bear testimony to you that our fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania were animated with the kindest feelings towards us and determined to see the laws, affecting our property, en forced within their State. I resisted the importunities of my numerous friends there, because I did not desire to take part in the proceedings of another State —as a Carolinian, I desired to speak to my fellow-citizens, of Carolina, from my own home am ong them. I did not wish to appear to rebuke the winds and waves of our agitated sea, from a distant cWc, hut reserved my efforts to calm them, until my return among you. But in justice to the great and good men who assembled at New York, Plika delpliia and Boston, to vindicate the laws and to declare their firm deteVmination to maintain them, I feel bound to say, that they were animated by the purest and noblest motives, and have, throughout, evinced the most praiseworthy zeal and patriotism. lam personally and intimately acquainted with many of them; and believe that they will maintain, to the utmost, the sentiments they expressed on those occasions. The great error, it appears to me, that we have committed, is, that we have given too much consequence to the wicked and designing men, who strive to produce discord among us, and to destroy the peace and prosperity of the couutry, that they may revel on the spoils, or elevate themselves to power, by pandering to the passions and prejudice of the vilest factions. Depend upon it, these men are moral lepers, despised by the masses, as well as by the enlightened portions of the com munity every where. They are powerful for evil, I know, because they are organized, and unscrupulous; and from the period of the first French Revolution, when a small organiz ed faction deluged France in blood, to the present day, we all know the power exercised by a well organized and unscrupu lous fraction of the people, however insignificant in number and character. The admission of California into the Union, as a State, is honestly believed, and represented to bo the most prominent of our wrongs, and thq adoption of that clause of her con stitution excluding slaves, the greatest outrage commited up on our rights. I say nothing of the irregularity or the admis sion of California, because I firmly believe t'liat if the clause alluded to bad been omitted, the complaint of the con stitution being violated in the fact of her admission,- would Have proceeded from the North, rather than from the South. But I think there is an error in the course assigned for the adoption o? that clause. The exclusion of slavery in Califor nia, is generally T.U.rih'Jit.ed, in the South, to the improper inter ference of Government, from the spontau i! - u uM ■ * .'i v . -x g i G . 1 jH their most sanguine expect; pointed and poor. They all in the opinion, that the exej was owing to the unwillincj by side with the negro—al xnai naVe never shops, and upon asking/lie reason, was informed by tWpro prietors that if they attempted to introduce negro labourers into their works the whites would leave them. This'reel iim governed the vote on ttfiis question in California. It is a aren't mistake to suppose tl.ak at the period of adoption of the con stitution, that territory] consisted only of squatters, and of the simple and ignorant conquered people. California was peo pled with unexampled] rapidity, and the inhabitants were from among our most industrious and enterprising citizens. They were neither few in number, nor disqualified in character to frame a constitution V themselves; indeed their orderly eon duet while abandoned by their legitimate government was dwelt upon with pride by us, and excited the admiration of the civilized world. We may complain with some justice of the admission of California with the exclusion of slavery; but if we had depopulated South Carolina of our negroes) and taken them to California, I firmly believe that they would have been expelled from the State at the first meeting of its Legislature, for f know full well that the people there were determined not t> admit them. The next great outrage eompiained of, is.the adjustment of the boundary of Texas. I will not prolong this paper and occupy your time by arguing the question of validity of the boundary claimed by Texas; but content myself, with stating my belief, tha,* if Mr. Madison had been captured by the British, at Blaiensburg, and under terror of life, had signed a treaty eedingfhe then territory of Mexico, Congress and we the people, wiuld have denied that Great Britain had thereby ’ - acquired a tile to that portion of our country. The object of oflerSog |H)qOO,OQO to Texas, was not what it has been rep resented; ih* to prevent a civil war, otherwise inevitable—a war, in the >urse of which, New Mexico would have been crushed by jhe superior forces of Texas, or government have interfered Uy protect that territory, alternatives to be depreeat <ed by evony American who respects the Constitution and loves justice. It was not ni; de by the President, but by a law of Congress, and if Texas voluntarily chooses to compound a doubtfulftitlo, and to accept the offer made her, surely there is no cause for calling her hard names, and applying to such a abusive epithets. Ihe pcxt subject complained of is the abolition of the slave trade in, thi! liistrictof Columbia, and this measure is char acterised as advancing abolition. For my own part, I think the scenes we have so often witnessed in Washington, and so often severely Warned by both Northern and Southern men, I tended much more to advance -abolition than the pas- this. law. It -is certainly to be lamented that the balance of power be tween the slave and free States, could not hare been main tuinjcd in the Senate. Wchave struggled for it in vain. It is wi ylt States as with individuals. Equality of strength or of Mtunc cannot be maintained by either; but this is no legiti mate cause of strife or revolution. And we are told that the remedy of these evils is to be sought for in revolution—for tWhat is secession but revolution ? Is the right of secession to Pie found in the Constitution? It existed, I grant, under tire 4>\d confederacy, for that was a league; but, the Constitution i,vas framed and adopted after solemn deliberation, to form a ■more perfect union of the States. The first time we ever H heard of the right of secession, was during the proceedings of the Hartford Convention, and at that period, no people re m ct? ived the doe tope with more indignation and contempt, than ■ ourselves. In (act, it any State possessed the power to se- IggCedefrotn the Lnion,, whenever it thought proper to do so, [ our constitution would be a mockery, and our boasted strength M a great and powerful nation would he despised by foreign P°'*f rs - It w true, if Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, iBP I Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Mis ■BpPl’i an *l Texas were to form a oojtfcderaey and agree to HRde, there might be no opposition fora time. But many HPlliose Skites form but the entrance and portico to the great ppdifice reared in the west. How long would the inhabitants ppf Ijiat mighty structure endure the privations sutler, if their ingress and egress were in the feigners. Would they permit Louisiana maritime power that might 111 i iHiTT commerce not. No I think boundary and right; only to be mvo,vo of this cf/iPtry would soa^- e Vhibit ,1 thf * a PP e * , nd ■ “r nh '° “ po< ” <*■ A. present no harries „ • ’ such a Confederacy wni.lt Hio gainst our Institutions, and if they be not protected by the constitution nud the much despised Union, our slaves would not oe worth ten year’s purchase. In sucli a confederacy, how many causes of discontent would occur ? llow could we with our habits of eternal agitation be satisfied with our station in it f Our relative importance, in the Southern Con federacy, would diminish ever)’ year unless we could change our habits altogether, & instead of devoting all our energies to political agitation, as we have done, for the last twenty years, turn our minds to the promotion of commerce, manufactures & easy communications by land & water, from the interior to the coast. But, under the lead of South Carolina, such a Con federacy’ will never be created. A\ e are unfortunately not renowned for our wisdom or prudence, and our invitations, and our taunts will be alike in vain to drive our sister States into measures of violence for the past—what the future may bring forth, time will shew. But, I warn the Northern men who love their country and desire to preserve the l nion, that they must restrain their own agitators: men whom my own self respect prevents me from characterising as they de serve—men, who are not fanatics, for fanatics are honest, but political demagogues of the worst description, using their money ami abusing their talents, to deceive and seduce the people; and who would not hesitate to elevate themselves to power over the reeking ruins of their country. The opposi tion, commenced under my own eyes, to the infamous machi nations of these men, mwst be continued by the united efforts of the good and true of all parties, and the Constiturion will be safe and the Union preserved. If there are any among ns, so wild as to think of separate State Action, to them I would say, that they mistake violence for strength. Let them examine the map and consult the census, and they will see our relative weakness and understand with what ease South Carolina might be prevented from in flicting any injury except upon herself. But I will Hot pursue this humiliating theme—it is improb able that such a irfeasure will be resorted to. It would be as absurd as for one to throw himself from a precipice in the ex pectation of injuring bis enemy by the fall. Fellow-citizens, my task is done. I felt impelled to ad dress yon as a friend and brother, by the interests I have at stake in the question, by my zeal for the honor and welfare of my native State, by t : c long experience I have had of the fearful consequences of revolution ; and by my devotion to the Unfon, to which, under Heaven, I believe we owe our un exampled prosperity as a nation.— J. R. POINSETT. Prospective Extract from tlie Southern Press of Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-odd. After the issuance of this number the publication of the ‘‘Southern Press’’ will ecase. A variety of reasons might be given for this determination, but, for once, we will give the true one which is shortly told. *-the want of patronage. The Senior Editor returns his thanks to those who have patronized the ‘Press,’ id retires with a proud conscious ness of impartiality, having advocated with equal zeal and hon esty both sides of the question, as weil at Cincinnati as at Washington city. As the Senior meditates leaving this country, he would say previous to his departure, that in accordance with ihe princi ples of the Quakers whose creed lx‘ professes, ho cherishes no cnoinity against those who, in past time, have fathomed Tris dtsigns, defeated his projects, or baffled his ambition. lie therefore forgives thoso who denied that his verse had poe try in it, as well as those who refused to hear his plea to be nominated to the Ohio Legislature. To his friends the Abo litiOnists, he would say that his attachment to them remains unabated, and that no matter what post he fills, or under what guise his sentiments are issued, he will ever remain their faithful and unflinching advocate. In conclusion tlie Senior would remark that having been appointed Queen’s Printer for tlie Province of Canada, he remove shortly to Montreal, where he will issue a Week- to bo called “The Royal Gazette;” and which voted to advocating the prerogatives of the Crown church as by law established. respoetfully solicited. “I s ” ,vU,rlls bis thanks to bis subsorib -1 hr,thru. ■ the tribe of I.e\i, whose ‘ ’"l. infancy of the ■“Press.” The.lun ’ that it i> bis intention to locate ti.:M® Suh^H ’iii” ■ cit’ niellt a fe iv ,!*§ the Fugitive Slavt^Bj negro, who lias been for some years past, tor i......- .i ~ , ‘-^‘6'6 V . i Li;n •jSHHHHHHH o .. u|, ‘bat, S. mi bim i ; his wav 1,1 Iriving reavlu-,1 Whitehall, b ; ‘ 11i> ■ ii• -y ; 0.l .itif. •! tabl.rs^fc'^*'^’. ’ * ‘ business, to make him t.dcrabl the winter.

Resolved, That any laws enacted by Congress in pursu ance of the Constitution, should be respected as such by all good and law-abiding citizens, and should be faithfully car ried into effect by the officers charged with its execution. Resolved, That so long as the Constitution provides that all persons held to service or labor in one State, escaping into another State, shall be delivered up on the claim of the party to whom tlie services or labor may be due, and so long as members of Congress arc required to take an oath to support the Constitution, it is their solemn and religious duty to pass all the laws necessary to carry that provision of the Constitu tion into effect.

Resolved , That as the lives, property nnd safety of our selves and families depend on the observance and protection of the laws, every effort to incite any portion of our popula tion to make resistance to the due execution of the laws of the land, should be promptly and emphatically condemned by ev ery good citizen.

Ken nan, of Baldwin, who moved that the lion. E. V. Hill take the Chair, 2 ,r0 tem, for the purpose of organization. Mr. Stapleton, of Jefferson, moved that li. S. La nier be appointed Secretary, pro tern. Official returns of election handed in, from the Ex ecutive office, and read by the Secretary, all but Ap pling county delegation being present, (which was subsequently filled,} making a total of 204 members present. On motion of the lion. James A. Meriwether, of Putnam, it was resolved that the Convention be or ganized by the appointment of one President and two Vice Presidents. On motion.of the same gentleman, the lion Thos. Spalding, of Mclntosh, was elected President, and the Hon. A. J. Miller, of Richmond, and the Hon. W. B. Wofford, of Habersham, were elected Vice Presidents, with but one dissenting vote. On motion, a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Stapleton of Jefferson, Ridley of Troup, and Hull of Clarke, were appointed to induct the officers elect into their respective seats. That duty per formed, the venerable President made a few appro priate remarks, expressive of his devotion to the Un ion and of his hope and confidence that it would be perpetual. On motion, the President was authorized to pro cure the services of a Chaplain from -the various.ld.c noininatioipudCMdk-dgeville. to o|>en uig ffie Convention, daily, with prayer. On motion of the Hon. E. Y. llill, it was resolved that the Convention proceed to the election of aSee retary to the Convention, who shall have power to appoint two assistants. On motion of Col.

Jenkins, Esq. of Rich mond, a committee of three from each Judicial. Dis trict of the State, was ordered to be raised, to pre pare business for the action of the Convention, said committee to be reported to-morrow at 10 o'clock, A. M. The Convention then proceeded to the election of Door-Keeper and Messenger, which resulted in the election of Moses N. Davenport of Clark, as Door keeper, and Mr. Oslin of Cobb, as Messenger! On motion of Peter Cone, of Bulloch, the Rules of the Senate of Georgia were adopted for the gov ernment of the Convention, so far as said Rules will apply, and 300 copies ordered to be printed. Col. J. M.

The substitute of Mr. Thomas of Elbert, providing for the reading of resolutions which might be pre sented, prevailed, and on calling the roll in obe dience thereto, bnt three counties, Chatham, Elbert and l’iko, signified a wish to present resolutions, ihose of Mr. Thomas of Elbert, only, being read. Mr. Ward of Chatham called up his Resolutions as to providing seats for Reporters, Ac, with the sub stitution of the President’s and Vice Presidents’ su pervision of the publication in pamphlet form in stead of that of the Secretary. The. 2d resolution as to the appointment of a Phonographic Reporter was opposed by Flournoy of Washington, and Meri wether of Putnam, and the latter offered a substi tute providing for the employment of a Reporter, and the printing of the journals of tho Convention, on the usual terms of State printing. Mr. Poc of Bibb, and Ward of Chatham advocated the original resolutions—the former thinking that it would be a saving of time and an abridgment of much speaking, if the members knew that all they said there was to be published in full to the world, Ac. Mr. Cox, of Pike, opposed this idea as being subversive of that independent liberty of speech which he desired to see exercised in its fullest extent, though he did not wish to have the speeches of members published at the public expense. Mr. Cone of Bulloch offered an amendment to judge Meriwether's substitute, to the effect that 3000 copies of the Journals be printed for the use ot the Convention. This amendment to the substitute and the latter were adopted, as also the first resolution of Mr. Ward, providing seats for the Rejorters. On motion of the lion. A* 11.
