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.

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.

Covington, July 26th.—There has been some little dissatisfaction here among the old Whigs at Mr Cobb’s nomination, who say they would have preferred an old Whig as their candidate. Things will come right before the election, how, ever. We will give Cobb the usual ma jority. LawrenceviUe, July 20d.—We have our candidate in the field; and will carry Gwinett by something like 300 majority. You may rest assured it will not vary 25 votes from that figure. Friendship, Sumter, July 28th— think you may safely set down one thou sand votes for Mr. Cobb in Sumter.’ Mc- Donald may get 300. This will give 700 majority, and I think you may safe ly rely npon that figure. The Union men are gaining ground decidedly. Culhberl, Randolph, July, 26th Mr. Cobb gained many votes by his speeches “i this region. Indeed, he is so over whelming in argument that I can scarce ly conceive how any honest, impartial man can hear him without assenting to his doctrines. Thomusvi/le, July 23d Mr. Cobb was here on the 19ih, and his speech made a powerful impression. It will he n hard rare here, but be not surprised if we car ry the county.

And yet the people are gravely told that the new order of things is the result of Whig trickery f Now, we unhesitatetingly declare, that in the whole movement which has resuC t£d in the dismemberment of ol<l and the formation of new parties in Georgia, Whigs have been the led, rather than the leaders. They have been and are still, willing to waive all minor consider ations, ami to leel ill the present great struggle for Constitutional Liberty, that there is neither whig nor democrat, but that all Union men are their political confederates and breathren. I . 0?* have a letter from an esteemed friend and gentleman of camden county, proposing to have a public me a ting at Centre village on the 23d inst., and re 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’ est, in their motives and action. They will act rightly—hut they are likely to he decieved by our adversarirttf They want light and they send tip their cry—“come over and help ns.” Whe will go ?

We take this method of informing our friends and patrons of South-Western Geor gia that we are now receiving: supplies of BAGGING, ROPE, SALT, SUGAR AND COFFEE, at our Store \ri Oglethorpe for the accommodation of our patrons. As we only intend keeping the leading articles above named, any other articles that 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 determined the only great practical qnes-- lion, now before the country. — Milled pe nile Recorder.

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 ?

How will you Vote. We cli| the following article from the Mobile Advertiser, a paper devoted to 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 entitled to the name. Let not the people he decivcfk /t they elect this MtComtld ticket, it will be claimed here, as well as elsewhere, as u secession triumph. The leaders claim to have laid aside all party distinctions, with a view ot
