• The Uuion of the Peaipckacv.'—
We are indebted to a member ol Con -
gress for a pamphlet speech of lion. N.
S. Townsend, ol Ohio, delivered in the
House of Representatives outlie 17ihof
March lasi, upon this very interesting
subject. Hu makes some startling dis
closures which ought to interest our read
•ff-
He denounces the Fugitive Slave Law
of 1793 as unconstitutional. The acts
of Congress upon the stil ject of Slavery
in tlie District of Columbia share the
same fate. The act of Cungres accept
ing the cessions of territory bom North
Carolina and Georgia to the United
States, in which it was provided that Con
gress should never abolish slavery there
—the failure of Congress to give freedom
to all slaves in Florida and the Missouri
Territoiy—and the lately passed Fugi
tive Slave Law—are all regarded as so
many infractions ol tfie Constitution, and
must be repealed, in the opinion of the
honorable Gentlemen, helme the South
can expet tto cease the agitation of the
slavery question. Nay, more: Congress
must abolish slavery in • tie District ol
{Columbia —the roastw ise slave trude must
be stopped—the inter. Slate slate trade
prohibited —and then the South may have
peace, but nut till then.
He treats w ith contempt tbe threat ol
Georgia to sei ede from the Union if the
Lugitive Gill is repealed :
* 2 have heard it said, that if the fugi
tive slave bill is repealed, or slavery ü
bolished in this District, the South will
dissolve the Union.; but, gentlemen, tint
cry lias been heard ton .iltcn to make
much impression upon (lie North. Coin
ing from that quarter, it is simply non
sense ; for who does not know that the
Union is infinitely nunc important to the
slaveholders, than the slaxeli .filers, are
to ljie Union l 1 think of this cry ol dis
solving the Union as I do of the boy’s
threat, wbo, because his mother would
not suffer him to pirn It the cat’s tail when
he pleased, declared lie would go to the
neighbors where they had the measles,
and catch the disease, and die, to spite
)ier/ [Laughter.]
In conclusion, we are informed that’ll
any sectional test is imposed upon the
Baltimore Convention the electnrial vote
of Ohio will nut he given to its nominee ;
and he hacks up his prophecy with the
significant fact that the Democratic mem
bers who voted fur I lie fugitive slave bill
were left ol home by their constituents,
and are nut members of the present Con
gress.
This, then, is the price of peace. We
inust consent to the repeal of all laws of
Congress designed to protect the inslilu
fion of slavery io all the new States of
the confederacy—and to the abolition of
>he trade in slaves between the Slates;
and in return the South will have extend
ed her the hand of fellowship by the Dem
ocracy. Is such a union desirable ?
Are these men our liiends? Can we af
filate with them ? We can do so, but
not without dishonor, and at the immi
nent hazard of our dearest ittleres.s.
Until such men as Townsend are driv
en out of the Democratic party, no lov
gr of (lie Solid; ought to co-operate with
jt. There is treason in the coalition.
ff?’ The Southern Patriot of May
27. says:
We received a letter, the other day,
frptn a distinguished Northern Whig
member ol pp tigress, urging upon u> the
propriety of South Carolina to iug repre
sented in the National Wliigh Caucus.-
This letter was written under the impress
lion that we were Whigs as well as Union
jnen. Nevertheless, we heartily concur
with this Northern member of Congress,
jyliq has gallantly stood up for the rights
of the Smith, that the Palmetto Stale
should be represented in the National
Whig Caucus. The vole of South Car
olina might give the nomination to ivir.
Flilnioie instead of Gen. Scott. Would
not this he a multi r of some imputtanre
to tlie wltnie South? We hope, therefore,
that tlie Whigs ol South Carolina w ill lie
represented jo the National Caucus, nr
Convention, of that parly. We also
would be glad to see the Democratic par
ty ol South Carolina represei ted in the
Baltimore Convention, which is to meet
the Ist day of June.
Nullification in Massachusetts.
We see it slated that the bill wlitrli
passed the Senate of Massachusetts some
1 weeks since, and was rejected in the
i Htm-e, repealing tlie act ol Congress on
the subject of fugitive slaves, lias been re
j considered in the House and passed by a
small maj irity ! It is becoming quite
| fashionable now, in these piping times of
i peace, lor a State Legislature to Interfere
j ' ml checkmate the Federal Government,
b.v nullification, secession, or by repealing
particular obnoxious clauses in the Con
stitution of the United Stales! We have
always doubled the authority and propri
ety ol this action on the part of a State,
and have labored very hard, for the last
j “verity tears, to prevent South Carolina
| Irving all these quack specifies lor federal
| “tggreSfiiins. llut we have no objections,
Untie at all, to see the old Bay Stale try
Iter lin k in the use of their., and let ns see
w litter tve have been mistaken all our
lives or tint. li the Medicine works well
in Massachusetts, anil efi'eis a cure for all
their grievances, in regard to not being
allowed to blu e the runaway negroes of
the South lor citizens, neighbors and as
sociates, we shall become converts to the
doctiiue ourselves, and cease our patri
otic labors.
In sober comment we w| s h Massachu
setts to make tlie issue and he done’ with
ii. We wish to know and have it tried
whether the Federal Government is able
ami willing to enforce its laws against
ti aitnrs and aholitiouisis. ,1 the runaway
negro be so dear to the people ol Massa
chusetts, let then) seal their love with their
blood. We hope, earnestly hope, dial
the abolitionists ol Boston may make the
issue. There will then he an end of their
fanaticism. But the Legislature of Mas
SiicusettS have no idea ol doing anything
more than vaporing and letting off, as one
ol die members said, a little patriotic
steam lor political effect. And it is this
eternal vaporing and nothing else which
provokes us.
Ihe people ol Massachusetts have 100
much of that ‘ raska/ly virtue’ called pru
dence, as General Charles Lee termed it,
at the battle ol Monmouth, to pul their
necks in die halter, or expose their dear
persons to the fire ol grape and canister,
on account ol their love for the negro
race, llieir legislation is lor the double
purpose, perhaps, of vaporing and exci
ting the Southern people. We hope that
we may be mistaken, and that the Legis
lature ol Massachusetts contemplates a
bona foie act of nullification in favor ol
the fugitive slave. We shall then see
“hat virtue there is in this remedy, and
know whether it is more powerful than
the Federal power which can he brought
to bear down on it.—S uul/thrn (S. C.)

SOUTH CaKOL/NA.
‘I lie li iends ol Mr. Fillmore, had a
meeting iu Charleston, (as will be seen in
tfie report ol the meeting in another cols
mnn) to send delegates to the National
Convention of the iGtli.
We have noticed some of the Sew ard
organs ol the North sneering at the votes
ol booth Carolina, and other states where
the democrats are so largely in the ma
jority. Their idea seems to be that such
slates have veryjillle light to be heard ill
the Convention at all. Such sneers have
even extended to Georgi t. New York to he
to be sure is a very stale, but we slioulii
like to know, ol how much inoie impor
tance her vote is to the cause, when her
vote is cast for the opposite party, and
Ga’against it. In other words, the New
York whig party if we remember right,
as often casts her votes against as for the
candidate of that party. Certainly we
think she has not on many occasions done
better |or the party than even S. Carolina
with a !| her acknowledged minority in*
j efficiency.
Well allude to New York, for from ihat
quarter, have noticed these sneers princi-
I pally to proceed. Now we have just one
| word to say. Empire State as she may
I fie, we believe that her recent course has
hem of sucli a character, that from no
Siate in the Union, w ould either advice or
impertinence he less regarded Gy the
whole South, than from her. II er treat
ment of her own patriotic Statesmen, Mr.
Fillmore as well as the great chapion of
the Constitution Mr. Webster, because,
of her tieasonable opposition to
the plain letter of that constitution, is so
heartless, mischievous and unpiiucipled
that so tarns the South is concerned, the
influence ol her physicist greatness istvli il
iv Inst in the overshadowing magnitude
of her moral degradation,
N Slate in the Union had equal or
any thing like equal power to preserve
the Constitution from the ruthless Gaps
who seem determined to desecrate jj—
none such power to perfect the pulic
tranquility and harmony of the Uuimt—
She lias prostituted this power to thee

Webster not A Man of Lctlcisi
In his late speech at Fanetiil Hilt, in
Boston, Mr. Webster gives us a spcitu-ll
of that quiet but irresistible pieasmm',
w-liicli is a peculiar characteristic ts the
play ful sallies of the great ( oralot and
statesman :
Gentlemen, there never will be attend
of blunders. An occurrence last Mall
raised me to the dignity ofa man of letters
—for in the Court Gazette , of M act id,
issued under the eye of the ministry of
Spain, an article appeared rather com
plimentary to the Secretary of StmeJ of
the United Stales, and which said that lie
was the most distinguished man of letters
in his country, that he was the immortal
author of the Dictionary of the English
language (great laughter.) ! the author
a Dictionary (renewed IttuglitA)—
shade of Noah Webster, wliat do you
think of such intrusion of your rights! as
to say that the Secretary of Slate wasthe
author of Noath Webster’s Dictionaiv of
the English language? Why, lie ccttld
not write the first spelling book; l an. no
man of letters at all, gentlemen, andput
forth no pretensions. lam no mat ol

The Democratic National Convenient
and the two-thirds liule. —lt is prohibit
that the Democratic National Convention
will adopt the two-thirds rule, 7t ias
been the rule of dvery Democratic Con
vention singe 1832, when it was first
adopted, in the convention of IS4B, the
Slates which favored the nomination of
Gen. Cass for the Presidency generjlly
voted for the two-thirds rule, which vas
adopted by a vote of J 75 to 78. The ari
ght and history of this rule is as follows;
1 The convention of 1832 appointed a
committee to report rules to govern its
action in making its nominations. In ‘.his
convention the question was raised, ind
discussed with some feeling, as to what
should be the rule of voting—whether the
vole should he confined to the minority
States which had voted (or Gen. Jackson
in IS2B, or whether the minority Slates,
which had voted against him, should al
so be entitled to their full electoral vole
—when a member of Pennsylvania, now
deceased, proposed the iwo-llijrds rule us
a compromise, w()ich adopted, and re
ported by Col. King, as chairman of the
committee, This rule was intended to
secure the majority States Irom nomina
tions against their wishes, which might
have been effected by combinations be
tween a portion of their own stregtfi and
the minority Slates.’

The Political Huckstering-Training for
the Democratic Compromise pledge—
Marcy and Buchanan—The Two ex
tremes Forcing the Centre —Vis Effect
in behall of the Whigs.
The huckstering is now going on fierce
ly among politicians. Fears are enter
tained thjt all the prominent candidates
of the democratic party, having answered
Mr. Scott’s letter, there will be an effort
made in the convention at Baltimore to
pass the compromise and the fugitive slave
law sub silentio. It is perhaps, with this
view, that Gov. Marcy*, a far-sighted
man has, in his answer, promised to stand
by the constitutional rights of the North
and the South —so as to satisfy the two
extremes. When it comes to uniting free
soilers with niillifiers and secessionits,
Marcy can give Buchanan fifty in the
game and whip him. Buchanan has not
been able to make the slightest impres
sion upon thelNorth, w bile Marcy has tlie
free soilers in his pocket, and expects to
magnetise the extremests from the Colton
States.
The idea seems to be for the two ex
tremes to coerce the centre, composed of
the Union men; and the sacrifice of Ma
jor Donelson has quite emboldened them
to demand a few more heads. , Sou Id such
a game succeed, it would only be neces
sary for the Whigs to nominate Fillmore
or Webster to secure a complete triumph
before the people. Tlie time is passed
when politicians could only make a nomi -
nation to secure the election of candidates.
Tliere is now a growing number of inde
pendent voters, who care but little for
the organization of parties, and less for
the spoils. They care more for securing
peace and harmony to the country, and
will support those candidates who are
likely to promote both.
C O J 1 .MUNI C A T E 17.
The last Columbus Enquirer contains
a remark, in reference to the late move
ment in this State by the friends of Mr.
Fillmore, entirely uncalled for an inap
propriate. After silting that the only
plausible pretext lor that movement, is the
discovery, that without the vote of Geor
gia Mr. Fillmore cannot he nominated,
tlie Editor, who wrote tlie article, adds :
‘ Tlie truth is there are some men who
always make discoveries just in time to
do mischief. All their faculties appear
to lie dormant until mutters tire likely to
settle down in peace, when all of a sud
den, some life-giving principle stirs with
them, arousing them to efforts, which, if
propetly directed, might result in iin.-
ineuse good to llieir friends and the coun
try. But their efforts are too late at all
limes, and generally misdirected at best.’
Nun ,no one know s better than the
Editor himself that such language is to
tally inapplicable to those who were con
cerned in stariinglhe conlenip'ated Con
vention. He knows full well— for he has
had opportunities (o know it—that they
are not me who ‘ lie dormant ‘ in the po
litical camp, when there is work to he
done ; and lie knows equally as well, that
they are no mischief , makers.
Hence, we were astonished beyond meas
ure at the language he lias used in reler
reference to us. Bui we wil have no
quarrel controversy with one of our own
household. Our object is simply to
repel his injurious imputations, and cal)
his attention to the wrong inflicted oil tiis
on his own friends, and give him an op
portunity to repair it.
MANY VOTERS.
First Ballot in the Whig National
Convention. —The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun says, that
without Soiilli-Curolina, 145 constitutes
a majority of till the electoral voles, of
which the Sooth, exclusive of Delaware,
casts 111. Add to this number 13 from
Massachusetts, 5 from Vermont, 1 from
Maine, 3 from Ohio, 2 Irom Pennsylvania
3 from Michigan, 3 from Wisconsin, 2 in
Rhode stand and 2 in Connecticut, and
it is apparent that, even without New
York, Webster and Fillmore conjointly,
can control the whig nomination for
President. If the whigs of Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi join the admin
istration whigs in Virginia, North Caro
lina, Kentucky and Tennessee, it will be
difficult for the friends of Gen. Scott to
effect a lodgment in the South. The
few whigs in the South who have joined
the Scott movement are merely actuated
by the belief that Gen. Seoll is the most
available man.
Bui it is now probable ihat South
Carolina will be represented iu the Whig
Convention. If site is, the friends of
Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Web.-ler may
easily control the action of the Conven
tion.
Letter from President Fillmore. —A
Letter written to Dr. Mitcliell, of Phila
delphia, near a year ago, by President
Fillmore, was read at the late Whig meet
ing iu that city. In returning lire thanks
for the flattering manner in which his ad
ministration had been spoken of, the
President says:
‘ 1 am far more anxious so to conduct
it ns to merit the approbation of my
country during the time 1 have to serve,
than to continue it a day longer. Let the
people select my successor, wholly un
influenced by me, and if he be honest and
true to tlie constitution and country, I
shall be satisfied. I ask no more.’
Important Movant nt at W ashington. —
There is a rumor of an important move
ment at Washington, of the Union De

they have drawn up a very skilfully
worded pledge, embracing a general ap

Compromise ns a finality which is to be
presented to every candidate of the party
previos to the assemblage ol the Nation

Destructive Fire!
A destructive fire broke out in the
south-eastern portion of the city at 5 o’-
clock yesterday afternoon. Tlie district
over which it swept, destroying every
thing before it, hut one tenement house,
is bounded by South Broad street on the
south, Lincoln on the west. Sixteen
dwelling houses, the Methodist Sunday
School Room, and oneJcarpeniier’s
ship, were destroyed. The buildsngs
were nil of w ood.
The fire originated in Mr. Gilbert
Butler’s Carpenter shop, on York-streel,
which, wiilt a lurge quantity of Iniuher,
was consumed. The shavings and lum
ber gave such an impetus to the flames,
that they spread rapidly to the adjoining
buildings in spite of the efforft of the gal
lant firemen to arrest them. From the
shop, the fire soon reached Capt. H. J.
Dickerson’s dwelling, on the west. This
was consumed, hut not before the furni
ture, was saved ill a damaged slate. Capt.
D. estimates his loss at slo,ooo—insur
ed for $1,300. On Ahercorn-streei, south
of Capt. Dickerson’s was the tenement
house owned by Mr. H. S. Bell, and oc
cupied by himself and Mr. Bryan O’con
ner, which was quickly on fire and con
sumed. Loss from two to three thousand
dollars.
Passing round to South broad street,
four bouses were destroyed—the first be
longing to the estate of Mrs. M. Cleland,
and occupied by Thus. Kreeger—the
second owned by Win. Kalin, of Effing-,
bam comtiy, and occupied by A. Den
nett—the third owned and occupied by
Mrs. Sterling—and the fourth, a wooden
dwelling owned and occupied bvO. J. H.
Dibble. Mr. Dibble’s loss is probably
four or five thousand dollars. The
Methodist Schoolroom was a'so on this
stieet.
Extending back to the lane fioin the
corner ol South Broad and Ltncoltr
streets, there were several small houses
occupied by colored persons, all of which
were burnt.
On Lincoln-street a house occupied by
F. L. Gue, and another by (’apt. Thom
as Shaw, on the corner of Lincoln and
York-slrects, ive're destroyed. On Yorlt
street, Mr. Win. Olmstead’s dwelling,
Mrs. Jane Younge’s. a house occupied
by Mr. ylrden, and another by J. J. Cor
nell, adjoining Mr. Butler’s carpenter -
shop, were all entirely consumed.
Crossing York-street, the fire next ap*
pearetl iu the large dwelling house on the
corner of Lincoln and Presidenl-stieets,
owned by the estate of Gordon and oc
cupied by the family of the late Win. B.
Bulloch. Great efforts were made to save
this house, but the high wind drove the
flames along with such violence that it was
found impossible, it was burned to the
ground after the fire in other places had
been mastered. The furniture was fully
insured—the building partially. The
furniture was considerably injured by* the
removal, as much of it bad to be carried
down from the second and third stories.
The brick bouse fronting on Oglethorpe
square, owned by Mrs. Marshall, was re
peatedly on fire, and several window
frames were burnt out. The building was
considerably damaged by water. One
tenement of this house was occupied by
Mr. John T. Rowland, whose furniture
was injured to the extent of SI,OOO by
fire and water. He was fully insured.—
The other tenement was occupied by
Mrs. Eliott, whose loss was slight if any.
Spiritual Knockings. —The postmast
er at San Augustine. Texes, has received
a leper from a Mr. Cower, dated at Pal
myra, Mo., requesting information of his
son, Andrew Bower, whom he had not
seen for ‘ four years, and who, as the
spirit of a departed friend had informed
j him, was then residing at San Augustine
j or Augusta, Texas. The postmaster lias
replied through the columns of the Herald
that no such person is or ever lias been in
San Augustine, nor is there any such
place as Augusta in the State.
Earthquake ut Apalachicola. — A .shock
o’ an earthquake, ol several minutes* du
ration, was experienced at Apalachicola
Fla., on Monday the 10th ult. The
water in the Bay was agitated, houses
were shaken and walls cracked. A simu
lar shock, though not so violent, was ex
