It Is now seventy-three years since the Union between the United Slates was mad-; by tbe Constitution of the United Stales. Daring this time, their advance in wealth, prosperity and S ower, has been with scarcely a parallel in the istory of the world. The great object of their Union was external defence from the aggres' sions of more powerful nations ; which object Is now attained from their mere progress in power. Thirty-one millions of people, with a commerce and navigation which explore tverj sea, and with agricultural productions which are necessary to every civilized people, com mand the friendship of the world. But unfor tunately, our internal peace has not grown with our externa! prosperity. Discontent and con tention have moved in the bosom of the Con federacy for the last thirty-8ve years. During this time, South Carolloa'has twice called her people together in solemn Convention, to take Into consideration the aggressions and uncon- s: Rational wrongs, perpetrated by the people of the North on the people of tbe South. These wrongs were submitted to by tbe people of tbe South, under the hope ana expectation that they would be final. But such hope and ex pectation have proved to be vain. Instead of producing forbearance, our acquiescence has only instigated lo new forma of aggressions and ).\Y MORNING.

The one great evil from which all other evils have flowed, is the overthrow of the Constitu tion of the United State*. Tbe Government ol the United States is no longer the Govern ment of Confederated Republics, but of a Con solidated Democracy. It Is no longer a Free Government, but a Despotism. It fs, in fact, such a Government 8s Great Britain attempted to set over our Fathers, and which was resisted and defatted by a seven years’ struggle for in dependence. The Revolution ofl77B, turned upon the great principle of self govemmet and self-taxation, the criterion of self-government. Where the interests of two people united together under one Government, are different, each must ltava the power to protect its interests by the organ ization of the Government, or they cannot be tree. The interests of Great Britain and of the Colonies were different and antagonistic. Great Britain was dcsirons ot carrying out the policy ot all nations towards their Colonies, of making them tributary to her wealth and power. 8he had vast and complicated relations with the whole world. Her policy towards iter North American Colonies was to Identify them with her in all these complicated relations ; and to make them bear, In common with the rest of he Empire, the foil burden of her obligations and necessities. She had a vast public debt; she had an European policy and an Asiatic policy, which had occasloncn the Accumulation of her public debt, and which kept her In con tinual wars. The North American Colonies saw’thelr interests, political and commercial, sacrificed by such a policy. Their interests re- Imircd that they should nrt be idaitificd with the burdens and wars of the mother country. They have been settled under Chatters, which S ve them self-government; at least so far ns clr property was concerned.

There must he conflict; and the weaker section of the Union can only Bud peace and liberty In an Independence of the North. The repeated efforts made by Booth Carolina, in a wise conservatism, to arrest the progress o' the General Government in its fatal progress to consolida tion, have been unsupported, and she has been de nounced as faithless to tbe obligations of the Constitu tion, by the very men and States wno were destroying It by their usurpations. It is now too late to reform or restore tbe O-.vcmment of the United States. All eonfldence in the North Is lost by tbe Sooth.

They are responsible for its continuance or existence. In proportion to their power. A majority in Congress,accord ing to their interested and perverted views, Is omnipotent. Tbe inducement* to act upon the subject of slavery, under such circumstances, were so imperious as to amount almost to n moral necessity. To make, however, their numerical power available to rule the Union, the North man consolidate their power. It would not be nailed on any matter common to the whole Union—in other words, on any con- adtutloncl subject—for on such subjects divi sions are ns likely to exist In the North ns in ibeSonth Slavery was strictly a sectional In terest.
