I was called for meet heartily, and came forward. He sta f ted that everything Mr. Burlingame had uttered he I would endorse, lie intended, in accepting his post, to I yield nothing of his aDti-slavery sentiment to any body | or for anything. lie would comprehend in h;s action, ib the whole country, of every color ; but, in saying the H whole country, he included Massachusetts and the North. ■Gov. Gardner was called for, and amid luUtFcheers, rose, K'but modestly declined to speak.’* f Th ere is a Know Nothing member elect from Massa ■ chusetts to the Congress of the United Statts. There is a I United States Senator elect of the Know Nothings, who ■ confesses the accusation which I make, that the new parly , ■ of Know Nothings was,formed expressly for the sake of ■ abolitionism. (Cheers and hisses.) And there is a Know R Nothing Governor—one of the nine who are all .ready to ■ take the same ground. [Starnpingof feet, and some hiss- I ing] Then, gentlemen, I have here an act of the Know I Nothing Legislature, of Pennsylvania, which proposes to I give citizenship to the fugitive slave, of the South. 1 have I here, also, an article, which is too long for me to read, ex hausted as I am, from the Worcester Evening Journal, an organ of Governor Gardnef and Senator Wilson, which says to you boldly that the American organ at Washington is a pro-slavery organ, that it is not the true Know Nothing organ, and that they speak for the North wiien they claim that they have already IGO votes of the non-slaveholding States organized—eleven more than sufficient to elect a President of the United States without a single electoral vote from the slaveholdiog States. The Know Nothings.—A letter from Washington says: “The Know Nothing party exhibit strong ?signs of impen ding dissolution. The election of Mr. Seward, from New York, Mr. Wilson, from Massachusetts, Trumbull, from Illinois, and Durkee, from Wisconsin to the U. S. Senate* would show that tiie party is becoming identified with the anti-slavery and abolition party. Besides, there are other evidences of confusion in their ranks, and it is not likely that they j will long be able to, maintain a distinct organ zation. A letter from New York says:—“The Know Nothings are in a state of indignant lamentation at the recreancy of some of their order. The Mr. C. C. Leigh who read in the Assembly at Albany the letter ordered by his chapter, requesting him to u. 3 his influence against the election of Mr. Seward, will yet feel the crushing weight of their ven geance. This Mr. Leigh is a Methodist preacher, a resi dent of the ninth Ward—the stronghold of the Know Nothings, and by whose votes he was elected. Should he, on his return to this city, attempt to preach, there will be a row. The feeling against him is intensely biitei.” Great Britain- Important Proceeding in the British Parliament — Lord Derby unable to form a Cabinet —The Baltic fleet Ordered to Sea. The week has been one of anxiety in England. The Atlantie brought London papers of.Saturday, 27th, coid taining Lord John Russell’s explanation of his resignation; also containing the commencement of the debate on Mr. Roebuck’s motion of want of confidence in the ministry. On the evening of Monday, 30th, Mr. Roebuck’s mo tion was resumed in tho House of Commons, namely— “ That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the condition of the British army before Sebastopol, and into the conduct of those departments of the government whose duty it has been to administer to the wants of that army.” Messrs. Stafford and Disraelli spoke, when the House divided, 305 for ihe motion, 148 against it—majority against government, 157. Whereupon the Ministry re signed. Their resignation was accepted, and the Aberdeen Cab inet only hold office until anew Ministry can be formed. On the evening of. Tuesday, the 30th. the Queen sent for the Earl of Derby, the leader of the eonversative party. On Wednesday, Lord Derby waited on the Queen, and had an interview of two hours. When the interview was flinished, Lord Derby drove in haste to the residence of Lord Palmerston, where a lengthened conference took place. The public have not yet learned what occurred be tween them, but the general rumor was that Lord Palm erston would not assent to the terms proposed by Lord Derby; consequently the latter was unable to form a suf ficiently strong cabinet. Various rumors then followed, pointing to Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and lastly to Lord Landsowue, as those who would probably he placed at the head of the ministry. Both houses cf Parliament adjourned from Tuesday until Thurday. Oil re assembling, Lord Aberdeen briefly announced the resignation. The'Duke of Newcastle en* tered into an explanation.in self-defence. Tho Earl of Derby informed the House that he had been invited by tiie Queen to form a Cabinet, but cc ’d not do so. The friends of the Aberdeen ministry are dead against Lord John Russel] for breaking up the coalition by his retirement. The Queen is reported to have written him an autograph letter censuring his conduct; but this is doubtful. No ministry has yet been formed, and generally there is somewhat of public anxiety. The bill to give effect to the reciprocity treaty was read a second time in Parliament. The English Baltic fleet is ordered to assemble in the Downs ready for sea the first week in March. Rumor says the Admirals Seymour and Martin will command. Messrs. Watson, Winey & Cos., a London house in the Australian trade, have failed. Liabilities moderate. South Carolina Railroad. —At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, held immediately after the adjournment of the Convention of Stockholders, John Caldwell, Esq., was unanimously re-elected President of the Company lor the ensuing year.

A portion of the Road has been finished, equipped and put in operation, but there exists a large amount of indebt edness which must be provided for, or else suits will be in stituted against the Road at the March Term of the Rus sell Circuit Court, and judgments rendered at that Term, under which ail that portion of tne road now finished, with its equipment will be sold, and pass into other hands and become a total loss to the present Stockholders. You are aware that tho late President, Judge Iverson, resigned on the first of January, and that Maj. John H. Howard was elected to fill trio vacancy. lie has not yet accepted the office, and will not until arrangements are made to pay the debts and progress with the Road to Un ion Springs. lie and others are making eve r y effort to obtain additional subscriptions,and it is hoped and believed that a considerable sum will be obtained, but it is well as certained that a sufficient amount cannot be thus raised to accomplish the objects desired. Something, therefore, must be done by the present Stockholders to prevent the loss of what has already been invested and expended in the road. We therefore earnestly invite you to meet at the depot in Girard, on Thursday the first day of March next, at 10 o’- clock, A.
