GREAT MEETING in CHARLES’
TON.
It is that tjtf people of
Charleston, o t'ify lfietn,
posed to tlie'separatte secession orSnfeyli
Carolina. This fact fias called down up
on them the vengeance of the Fire Eaters
of the interior—some rs whom have
threatened (o'make a Moscow of their
commercial emporium, if it interposed
any obstacles to disunon. This threat
seems to have aroused the people of
Charleston who accordingly convened in
immense numbers on the evening of the
29th ult. The meeting passed resolutions
condemnatory of the seperate action of
Carolina, and recommending measures
to be taken to secure the early co-opera
tion of other Southern Statse. These
resolutions are too long for insertion in
the present number of the Banner, but
will be given hereafter. This proceeding
looks something like taking “a step back*
wards,” for if Carolina waits for the co
operation of the other Southern States,
why not take her position at once upon
the Gorgia Platform.

Tribute of Respect.
For the first lime, South Western
Lodge U, D., is called upon to mourn the
loss of one of her members; Brother How
ard W. Ellis, departed this life on Sat
urday the 26th inst, and was uttered with
the solemn ceremonies of the fraternity
cn Sunday 27th.
Brother Ellis was a native of Virginia,
came to this place about 15 months since,
where he lived till his-earthly mission en
ded.
In the loss of our brother, much is to
be regretted. He was in the bloom of
life, and the service he might have ren
dered the Masonic Institution, and his
fellow man in the great work of Brother
ly efforts to relieve suffering humanity,
will remain for ever untold
But it was the will of an all wise Prov
idence, to remove him lienee, at which we
are taught to murmur not. Be it there

By tile British task-man’s stroke,
By the royal chains we broke,
By the pround oppressor’s lock
Freeling souls to death, —
By the Thraldom’s think’ning spell,
Broken soon as breath’d front hell
Swear we that the Union still
Bright our land shall wreathe !
By our patriot father gone,
By the victories they won,
By their bloody graves when done
Freedom’s task sublime—
By their spirits hov’ring now,
Warding off the fatal blow,
Swear the “Union’s flame shall glow
Through all future lime !
By our country’s rising fame,
By the ‘Union’s’ deathless claim,
By the states with different name,
Yet with common right,—
By each patriotic heait.
Sworn o patriot part,
Swear we that no foul upstart
Shall the ‘Union’ blight !
This our sacred oath to God,
Signed by truth and seal’d with blood
Showing that our fathers trod
Where theii sons shall tread,
This our record through all time
Scutcheon'd on our scrolls sublime,
Read in ev’ry glad’ning clime
“Union’s” flame to shed !

proposing to have a public me a ting at

questing us, if possible, to obtain the ser
vices of some of our public speakers to
address the people on that occasion.—
J his is an important canvass in Georgia.
It is perhaps the first time in our history
when we have had before us the issue of
Union or Disunion, presented for our
desision. I fiat issue is now verily upon
us. and it depends upon the enlightened
judgement of the people in their choice so
Governor, whether or not Georgia will
link herself to the care of Carolina seces
sion and will) |er rush on in the mud ca
reer of the disonionists, into abyss of
Revolution and War:* “As terrible as
it is unnatural.”
W *- appeal then to onr Union men who
are eloquent in speech, if they will not, in
this hour of paril, mike some small per
sonal sacrifice for the safety and perpetu
ity of our liberties ? Will noisome one
nr more respond to the call of our friends
in Camden county.'’ Our people are lion’

will act rightly—hut they are likely to he

light and they send tip their cry—“come
over and help ns.” Whe will go ? A

We take this method of informing our

BAGGING, ROPE, SALT, SUGAR

As we only intend keeping the leading

our patrons may want, will be ordered for
them at the shortest notice. We will re
ceive the Cotton of Planters at Oglethorpe ,
or at any other point on'the South-Western
Rail Road, and forward it to our House in
Savannah, making liberal advances on the
same, when required, and account for the
nett proceeds at Oglethorpe ; or we will sell
it at Oglethorpe if the owners desire it. We
have tljp fi|crliiies for storing at Oglethorpe,
sliQuei any p\ our patrons wish it held at that
VieTfc^,Tof ia’iiie course we
confidently anticipated from our knowl
edge ofthe character of ourcandidate, and
it is this knowledge of the man. whic h
leads us so greatly to desire his triumph
ant election. We have no idea of placing
the power to involve Georgia and all that
is dear to her, in the hands of those who
upon the pretence of a mere abstract
right, would deride the question, at once
—w hose very position is a decission of
the question, Mr. Cobb, and his sup
porters on the contrary, take ground dis
tinctly, that should the question arise,
whether Georgia shall go out of the Un
ion with South Carolina, on the right of
secession, or remain in the Union even
should this right be denied by the gov
ernment,—the people of Georgia must
themselves decide.
In the mean time, it is the great pur
pose of Mr. Cobb, and his supporters, to
render unnecessary the decisionof such a
momentous question. They maintain
that the compromise of Congress, is a
wholly sufficient cause for the disruption
ofthe Union—they will not destroy our
confederacy, nor countenance Carolina
or any other Slate in breaking up the
Union, for such a cause. On the contra
ry, they maintain the cause for the Un
ion on the compromise, against those at
home or abroad, wish to destroy the Un
ion because ofthe compromise. 7t is for
the people of Georgia to range themsel
ves on one side or the other. Togo for
the Union on the compromise, or lor iis
destruction, on the compromise.
The question is a perfectly plain one,
notwithstanding all the efforts of our op
ponents to mysiify it. The only practical
question before the people is as plain as
day light; let them just ask themselves this
question, shall we go lor the Union, up
on die compromise,—or shall we go for
disunion, because ot the compromise, and
s they decide this question so will they

you think of til l 9 ? The Abolitionists
compliment Mr. lllieil and the Carolina
Disuuionists because they hold the old
Hanford Convention doctrine ol secess
sion ! Mr. Rhea and his followers turned
round and exclaim, “ Success to McDon
aid—his cause is our cause I”
Now, there must be some reason for all
this. Whv do the Abolitionists at Sary
cuse, the Disuuionists of Carolina, and
the McDonaldites of Georgia, blow the
same bugle —nay, more, why do they
play the same tune so harmoniously ?
Listen to their notes:
(t?“McDonald abuses the compromise
measures; so Dose ivir. Rhett, and so do
tilt* Abolitionists.
([/'■McDonald and his followers de
nounce the fugitive slave law ; so does
Mr. Rhett, and so do the Abolitionists.

of secession ; so does Mr. Rhett, and so

denies that the compromise is a final ad
justment ; so does Mr. Riiett, and so does

British protection in case of a conflict ; so
does Mr. Rhett, and so do the Abolition

What say yon men of Georgia to this ?
We might run the parallel still further;
but it is unnecessary.— Have we not
shown that there are good reasons why
tlie Abolitionists should indirectly com
pliment Judge McDonald through his
next friend, .Mr. Rhett? Have we not
shown good reasons why the Abolitionists
should, with Mr. Rhett, exclaim: “Suc
cess to McDonald—his cans is ourcavs' ’!
Men of Georgia think of these liiinps,
and be not carried away by Ihe idea va
poring and unfounded assertions of the
disunion pres. Did it not declare in
favor of Disunion, of Secession—of civil
rear, if necessary ? Would it not now
breathe the same spirit of disunion, if it
dared? Is it not evident it is insincere
and dishonest in its present prnfessioes ?
—How can von trust such men ? ‘Once
false, always false,’ is the good old max
im. Then trust not those who were for
Disunion last year, and now profess to
be good Union in n! Like Juda- licari

How will you Vote.
We cli| the following article from the

rigli‘l ol Union. In order to rtnde the
trutlis it containes entierly applicable to
l 1 ■ politicial meridian of Georgia, we
have made a few verbal alterations only:
“A man is known by the company he
keeps,” is an old Spanish proverb* and
generally a true one. The Serssionisls in
this city have of late professedly turned
the strongest kind of Union men. But
what kind of company do they keep?
Kvry Secessionist and Disunionist in the
district will vote for McDonald mid Jack
son ! Evry man who detests the general
government, and who hopes and prays
that South Carolina w ill seeeed, and who
would volunteer to assist South Carolina
against the general government—will
vote for self-named Southern Rights tick
et ! Every man who calls the United
States government mi abolition govern
ment, will vote for McDodald and the
Southern Rigts ticket.
Who are the men that Rhett and com
pany are looking to for aid and comfort
when Smith Carolina seceeds? Thev
are the men who compose the Southern
Rights Secession party of Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia. If there is such
a thing ns a secession party in the coun
try, tlie leaders of McDonald party are
