b The Union of the Dcinocray.” Under tl|is fiea I, the Columbus (G 0..) ft Sentinel ” one ,of the democratic Se-I pessinn organs in litis JState, a id tjie only pne that hasjiad the hpiiesty to Stand bv jtt teaching? during the jute canvass, j pnaket the following enmuiepK. 11 0 /ever, men may difler from tbe srossion potions of the ,%.'//, its j>rr|eii|*|'ourpe j pan nor fail to command their reflect— i , while that ol it? late conjjjutnrj pnjj hntj incite the commiseration, if not cnMifp.pt’ pfeyery pan jot. But a fi-w months since fltey weie equally as bold in their donnn piations tj f jhe Northern democracy for pnsounrfpess, as the Sentinel. Now, jiqijfser, a wonderful change has come over the spirit ol their dreams. While the Sentinel adheres to and still proclaims pts opinions—they, in their hunger and thirst after the spoils, have repudiated their own counsels, anti are seeking an open alliance with those whose associa tion they, but a few months since, de clared would defile any Southern mail. — If they asserted (lie truth then, and noth ing has since itnnspired to disprove their assertion, tlicv now occupy a posi tion ‘disgraceful’ to tliemsejt gs, and ‘treasonable to tbe South ’ —otherwise they are guilty ttf having attempted to deceive and mislead the Southern peo ple by the prochiinaiiuii ol a known un truth. Let them take either horn of the dilemma, from one of which they cannot escape, and they are by their own show ing unworthy of the confidence of the Southern people. • 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the lately passed Fugi tive Slave Law—are all regarded as so many infractions ol tfie Constitution, and must be repealed, in the opinion of the honorable Gentlemen, helme the South can expet tto cease the agitation of the slavery question.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.) Puliiof. From the Milletlgcv ilie Recorder. 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 struction of the one, and the overthrovof oilier, and this with the addition of *h| base ingratitude to the patriotism offer ow n section that Iter sneers at this morttnt are effective, in this section of this Uijjjn, only as they are Considered good prop of the honor, integrity and patriotism of those towards whom such sneers are tmi ifested. Pr< pised Amendment of the Fuglvc Slave Law. Mr. LIGdET, chairman of the sleet committee appointed by the Maryhnd House of Delegates to consider so ikicli of the Governor’s message as relnlfe to the murder of Edward Gorsuch, and the trial of the treason cases in Philriel phia, has made an interesting report ac companied by resolutions insirnctiu4ihe Senators and requesting the Represent!- lives in Congress front Maryland to irge an amendment of the fugitive slave law, so as to enforce, by adequate penalieS, the attendance and aid of the ‘ posseam tnilalus w lien required by the nfieer charged with the execution of the kw,— /1 i also recommended that the Side of Pennsylvania, in order to furlhrv the ends of justice, and alloy nil irritatim and excitement between the citizens of Hary land and that Stale, should pass < law providing for the transfer by writ oferror of all cases arising within her Intits, which involve the operation nr cnmtrur.. lion of the 2d section of the 4th article of the Constitution of the United Stales or of the acts of Congress passed ir pur suance thereof, to the supreme judicial tribunals of the country for trial. 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 letters, in the general acceptation of hat term, but it has sometimes happened hat in the course of my official duty J hive been called upon to write a letter. (Vp plause and a voice shouting flulsemain.) 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.’ Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, May 28. 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 mocrats of the South. It is said that they have drawn up a very skilfully worded pledge, embracing a general ap proval of all provisions of the Constitu tion and a special concurrence of the Compromise ns a finality which is to be presented to every candidate of the party previos to the assemblage ol the Nation al Convention. Baltimore Democratic Convention is in confusion, not yet organized. Political Movements in Philadelphia, j A town meeting of the Whigs of the city I and country of Philadelphia favorable to the election to the Pu sTdency of Mr Fill more, was held at Philadelphia on Satur day evening. 11 is represented to have been a verv enthusiastic affair. Tlie Chi nese Museum, in which the meeting took place, was crowded to its utmost capaci iy;John B.

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 perienced on the Friday previous.
