Letter Iran) Senator Butler to the
Hamburg Meeting.

.May. 28, 1851.
To C. YV. Styles, Levi Hill^nd A. Wray,
Esqs., Hamburg, S. C.
Gentlfjirn:?You did me the honor yesterday,
to call oil me ?n conformity with the'following
resolution adopted by numerous subscriber8
for the call of a public meeting in Hamburg
on the 31st.inst. to-wit: "That, C. W.

pointed a committee to wait on Judge Butler,
and deliver the public invitation to hint tt attend
and address the people on the day named"
?the object of the meeting being to consider
the question of separate secession of South Carolina
from all the oth^r States in the present
Confederacy.
Allow me, gentlemen, to thank you personally,
for the acceptable and polite manner in
which you acquitted yourselves of the duty imposed
upon you,?and to return mv cordial acknowledgments
to my fellow-citizens for the
flattering compliment implied in their call on
me to address them on the occasion indicated.
From intimations which I have received, it is
probable, I may be called on to address other
meetings of a similar character, from the best
view which 1 can take of my duty, having a
regard for my official relations to all thefpeople
of South Caroliaa. I have come to the conclusion
that it'would be better that 1 should not
mingle in such public meetings just at thi s time.
; The subject of your meeting is one of great
.magnitude; and one which will be discussed j
bv the people. I sincerely hope that it may '
be so discussed and considered, as to lead to J
no intestine or party contentions in tlie State |
itself.
The crisis is one which give3 to your meeting
great dignity and solemnity. 1 have every
reason to conclude that the result of vour proceedings
will justify a high opinion of your intelligence
and patriotism.
I cannot conclude this communication without
making a remark or two, on the great subject,
which has occasioned your meeting.
No one who looks at the certainties cf the
past, and the tendencies of the future, but must
regard the crisis in which we are involved with
anxious concern and solicitude.
A large proportion of Southern representatives?and
several State Legislatures, hy sol
eran Resolutions, have declared that Southern
Institutions are not safe in the hands of the present
Federal Government. The}' have received
too uiany stabs under the deceptive masks
of Compromises and party organizations, to
look for future security. Another question has
presented itself for consideration,?would the
-non-slaveholding States, by an adequate amendment
of the constitution, give additional, or any
guarantees, for the protection of Southern
rights, and sectional equality!?The manner
in which Mr..Calhoun's intimations to prepare
an amendment of the Constitution, was received.in
Congress, is a pregnant commentary on
this new subject
Mr. Calhoun commenced his last speech with
the following passage:
"I have, senators, believed from the first that
the agitation of the subject of slavery, would if
not prevented by some timely and effective measure,
end in disunion. Entertaining this opinion,
I have on all proper occasions, endeavored
to call the attention of both of the two great
parties which divide, the country to adopt some
measure to prevent so great a disaster, but without
success. The agitation has been permitted
to proceed with almost no attempt to resist it,
until it has reached a period when it can no
? ? t-s I*
longer be disguised or uenieu mat me u mon us
in danger. ? You have thus had toreed upon you
the greatest and gravest that can ever come
under your consideration?How can the Union
be preserved t"
The mode of securing the Union as indicated
by that experienced Statesman met with nothing
but the denunciations of an impatient majority. ;
What alternative then is left to the Southern
States?Nothing but the province of taking
eare of themselves,?how is that to be done
* .l. e. ?:? ,.r cnv_ j

ernment, sach a Government ns could invest itself
with the powers, and discharge the duties
of a political sovereignty, among the nations of
the Earth;?Boundless in resources, commercial,
agricultural, and manufactories with a numerous
and intellegcnt population, with States- j
men of wisdom and experience, and with a model
of the best Constitution that ever was devised.
The Southern States have all the elements
of a great Political Commonwealth,?some
think that South Carolina, by separate secession,
could exclusively assume thu p nation of an
ample government for all the purposes of national
existence, there are comparatively very
few who would act on such an opinion. It
wonld be to sever the State notnlone, from the
Northern States, but from Soutlrcrn allies and
associates, and in its operation, would certainly
require great -and .destructive sacrifice. To
speak of no other it would require the sacrifice
of the only great Sea Port City of tho State,
what Statesman could give such advice under
such a juncture of affairs as exists at the ureseut
time.
Those who are for South Carolina moving,
lone, have, I suppose, objects beyond her separate
existence. How aud when she is to move
requires the profoundest judgment that ever has
been exerted on her destinies.
As a distinguished Georgian has remarked,
"South Carolina has taken a proud position ;
but she should not so occupy it, as to exclude
others from occupying it with her." The Southern
people are beginning to see their true condition.
Issues have been made, and arc now
pending in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia,
that were nevei distinctly presented before, and,
as certainly as I am writing, these issues will
come to judgment, they will be forced to judgment.
The next Presidential contest will leave

Southern Representatives who have been
so hopeful, will have as much insult as their
stomachs can bear.
What was the state of public feeling among
the people three years ago ? what will it be
three years hence under the certain tendency
of events ? under the divine right of usurpation
and sanctions of a blind majority, the conviction
wj|J be forced on the people of the South
r
i
that they must take common councils to avert
common dangers. The attempt -to face other
Southern States to follow our lead would be a
dangerous experiment, and in my opinion would
result in failure and disaster. One move by
South Carolina, is to bring about hopeless Isolation
or civil war. I hope it will not be regarded
as egotism in me, when 1 say that 1 have
morn firmness in a crisis, than boldness to make
ono. When South Carolina Joes move she
must be prepared lor its consequences; I shall
help her!
1 believe that tho great State Rights cause
and principles arc stronger in the Southern
States than they have ever been. There is less
jealousy between neighboring States than formerly,
when Federal preferments gave character
to party. God hath joined South Carolina
and Georgia together, and let no man or men
put-them asunder! Those who sow the seed
of discord between them have much to answer
for before the tribunal of their common history.
Georgia has had the destinies of the South in
her hands?she will have Statesmen who will
sec her interests and will pursue them. There
is a spirit in that State that would animate any
Commonwealth on Earth. The River on which
you deliberate, is a nominal boundary, but a
real bond of Union between the States
Gentlemen, in your Resolutions be calm and
fi rm.

AKK THERE DIVISIONS AMONG US?
It is our province to watch closely the workings
of public sentiment, the influences that
direct it, anil to distinguish the genuine from
the spurious. Beyond question there are strenuous
efforts now being made in various sections
of the State to palm off* on the superficial ob
servor, both here and abroad, a counterfeit currency
in this respect We are convinced, however,
that the public sentiment of South Carolina
cannot be thwarted from its ligitimate results
by such efforts.
In new papers north of us we read congratulatory
notices of a widespread reaction of
public sentiment pervading the whole State
?that Time has brought healing on its wings,
and the genial workings of reflection have produced
a wonderful change in the minds of our
people in relation to the issue now before
them. In some of them we read that all the
resolutions of public sentiment heretofore
made, have been merely the empty declamation
ol a gasconading people, ami that the result
will demonstrate the oft-repeated prediction of
the Northern journals?that South Garplin will
recede from the position she wasjitleast understood
to occupy on the prominent questions
tlin uniinh'V.
WCIUi V HIV
Is this change real or ficticious? Is it that tho
people of South Carolina are more inclined to
acquiesce in the unjust legislation of Congress
now then they were last year? Is it true that the
people, who for years past have presented the
most striking example of uuion against federal
wrongs ever witnessed in the country, have
ceinc to the conclusion now, when everything
they hold sacred and dear demands that union
and its influence to be exercised to save them,
to allow internal divisions to prostrate their energies,J
and to render cither present or future
efforts <11 defence of their rights utterly futile?
We cannot believe it. There is nothing in the
past history of our jieople to justify the- apprehension,
and there are but few indications at
the present time to cause any serious alarm as
to tho future. That there may be a difference
as to the time and modo of seeking safety for
the institutions with which we are connected
no one pretends to doubt; but the desire to remain
in the present Confederacy is so seldom
and so feebly expressed in a few quarters of the
State, that its utenure? causes not a ripple 011
the calm surface of a settled determination to
dissolve the Union. All the coadjutors of the
Southern Patriot in ttie country can Drmsj no
proof to the contrary.
Are there, then, divisions among us? We assert
that there are none now of such magnitude
as toendange. the great cause in which %ve
are engaged. iSuL let us beware of the future.
We appeal to Carolinians who love their State,
who desire that she should not falter in the discharge
of the trust committed to her, to crush,
and to crush when they have the power, the
lemon of discord among them. And we must
be understood on this point. It is not any acts
of proscription, nor attemps to ostracize those
who differ from ns?not the use of offensive
epithets, nor the infliction of injuries to any
man's business or reputation on account of the
opinions he holds on the issue of separate secession,
that we enjoin. In our opinion this is
jflie very way to create the divisions we dread
and deprecate. But we do appeal to all who
*1?.?L- tun nrn ti'rnnfrflil 1VH (tpsire to see a
dissolution of a Union that promises nothing
but a continuance of these wrongs to the end,
not to let pride of opinion so operate on their
feelings as to drive them into a position tbcj
honestly abhor.
In Greenville we have a press opposed to secession,
either by this State or all the Southern
States; yet its adroit managers succeed in bringto
its support many who profess a Southern
Confederacy to be the deareast political object
they seek or desire. But the Patriot is a Union
paper, a champion of federalism, and those
disunion co-flperationists will have to be chary
of its insidious teachings to keep ther garment8
unspotted. In Charleston the Southern
Standard is announced as seeking to obtain the
union of Southean States, for the avowed purpose
of establishing a Southern Confederacy.
Bat the Standard, however laudable the original
purpose of its establishment, may imperceptibly
glide into the same current o( unionism
auu consolidaticnism on whMi the Patriot
swims now solitary and alone. The Evening
-Veers is in the same position. Now, the'dan
ger in these movements is that parties, party
strife and bickerings, will be introduced among
us. and a fearful contest between those who
originally sought the same end will produco an
estrangement and alienation of feeling fatal to
present action, and not less fatal to future action,
even when co-operation is no longer doubtful.
The nucleus of a Union party once formed
within our borders will be fraught with the utmost
danger to the cause of the south. Around
that nucleus will gather those who are not only
opposed to State secession, but to any Southern
action whatever. Its members will be baited
and tempted with federal gold and federal honors,
and at last it may gather strength enough
to control even our State policy. There is no<
thing either presumptuous or timid in the entertaining
such suspicions. The history of public
affairs in other States testifies to the correctness
of the position, that the vision of public
men can be obscured, and that gold and promises
can revive a love of the Union where it had
become nearly extinct. Let South Carolinians
beware lest they aid the enemies of our institu
tions to divide a people, who, without such divison,
must triumph at last.
The men who advocate State action desire
to avoid the difficulties alluded to. Their aim
is to secure the union of our people, and for
this purpose they have spared 110 efforts to enlighten
them. The arguments for and against
the course they believe right have been given
with 110 sparing hand, and the course of the journals
that represent their views has almost precluded
the necessity of the establishmentof special
organs by those who differ from them.
They deprecate and repudiate all vituperation,
and ought not to be held responsible for the
heated expressions of individuals exercising
more zeal than wisdom. Such, we believe, is
the policy of what some may call the separate
State action party, and we submit that it is one
which patriotism dictates, and which Carolinians
cannot err in sustaining. The bitter feuds
?f '30 and '32 aro well remembered, and the
lessons then taught should prevent a reorganization
of parties that must be even more disastrous
than that of those days. Butler,
Cheves, Chesnut, Preston, Hampton, and other
prominent names, are cited to us as opposed to i
separate State action; but we have yet to learn
that they will be found giving distracting counsels
to the State. Let those who think with
them abstain from seeking distinction by running
ahead of such leaders.-? Soulh Carolinian.

We dined at this excellent House on Wednesday

sure, of all who were present, in pronouncing flie
dinner given on the occasion, as hard to beaftm
every respect, both in quality and quantity. We
have no doubt, Mr. Hollevman, the obliging and
attentive host, will make his House in ievery respect,
worthy the confidence aud support of the

Mr. Barnwell, who has recently'become connected
with this valuable and able Periodical, is
on a visit to Camden, where he will remain for a
day or two. The deservedly high reputation
which the Review enjoys, renders it unnecessary
that we should say anything in its favor?it is a
Southern enterprise, and deserves Southern sup.

We have been readers of DeBow's Commer

??Irregularity
of the Mails,
A subscriber writing Irom Marshall Co., Mrs?.,
complains of not receiving his paper regularly?
always from one to three weeks benind the time.
Another writing from Camden Miss.,says: "Iget
the Camden paper sometimes, but not regularly.
Though I do not wish you to understand that I
attach any blame to any one except''Uncle Sam."
The Mails have been very irregular ever since I
arrived, and without any hope of improvement.
The fact is the whole machinery of the Government
is about four-fifths worn out, and the sooner
the whole affair is "knocked into a cocked hat"
the better, for us at least. You wlff probably infer
from this that I .am a "Secessionist," and you will
infer right."
How to remedy these growing evils is more than
we can tell. They are only a few ofthe many that
we endure under the present Government, which
we think ought to be knocked into pi.

Camdkn, Miss., May 31st, 1851.
According to tho promise already given, I
proceed to give you some account of tho pro- !
ceedings of the Political Meeting held here to-1
/cnlnit.lnv \ |
UHjr, \uu..u.u,vv ..
A large concourse was present, and addressed
by Judgo Smith, and Hon. Wm, McWillie
of the Southern Rights Party, and by the Hon.
(?) H. S. Foote.nnd Gen. Freeman. Submissionists.
.
The Bali was opened by Smith, who delivered
an able defence and explanation of the prin- 1
ciples of the Southern Rights Party, and administered
a most scathing rebuke to Foote, ^
for his traitorous conduct during the last two
years. I never before heard or read a speech n
which contained a tithe of the severity Which ^
characterized his. The letter of the Hon. D. 1
Wallace, addressed to Houston, of Texas, i3 u
r
mild, iu comparison to it Foote's turn came c
next, and I cannot give you a better idea of his r
speech than by saying that it was a lame apolo
gy for past treachery. He justified to his own
satisfaction at least?his whole political course ^
asserting that the admission of California as a
Stato ?the purchase of the portion of Texan
territory for the ten millions?the abolition of ^
the slave trade iu the District of Columbia?and
in fact that the Compromise measures uin toto" j
were the very best things which could have been
done for the South, and that as they all emana- '
ted from his mighty self h? deserves a chief
share of the Glory?he is welcome to all of it# 31
He affirmed without qualification, that all Cl
who disapproved of the compromise measures, 31
and who were now producing agitation throughout
the South, were traitors?thus endeavoring
fcliift tli.j rwliiim which attaches itself to him.
w~ ' r
to the shoulders of others. The language of
the Roman Historian, "Satis cloquenticc sapi- ^
entite paruni," which occurs in his description of ^
the character of Cataline, applies equally well t ^
to that of the Hun. Senator now in question.
There are other points of striking similitude ^
between the two. The oue sought his own ^
aggrandizement in the ruin of his couutry, the , 4
other is now seeking the same thing, and is like-j n
ly to obtain his end uuless some modern Cicero j *
spring np among us to subvert the efforts of the j
modern Catalinc.
It must be confessed that he possesses great
tact for making?in the minds of die ignorant?
"the worse appear the better reason.'' After
having heard his speech, I was forcibly struck
with the truth of the did and somewhat vulgar
adage, "it takes st smart man to'be a rascal." j
The meetjjrg was next addressed by Col. (
McWillier<vhose arguments were able aud in- (
controvertible, because sustained by truth and f
justice, and whose speech throughout was des- f
titute of that harshness of expression and want ^
of courteous respect which characterized those (
of his opponents. I
He was followed by Freeman, whom I did
not'hear out, having become thoroughly dis- j
gusted and sickened with his fulsome lauda j
tion of this Great and Ulorious Union, attains (
violent abuse and furious denunciation of those j
who do not side with him in opiniou. ,

I saw two rills at morning tide
Stsrt on their winding way,
A down the mossy hillock's side,
Across the meadows gay ; I
With rippling, sparkling, gutgling light, 1
That made their beds and borders bright. t
And as they went
Where willows bent. f
Like heart of mail to kindred brother <
The silver streams leaned to each other,
Until they met, and then as one

I saw a flower of azure hue
Hid in a bed of green,
And trembling on its peta!s bluo
Two dewdrops glistening sheen; (
Like pearly tears they sparkling lay j
Beneath the morning's golden ray. I
A gentle breeze '
Swept through the trees, J
And quick they glided to each other I
Like soul of man to kindred brother,?
And rested in the floweret's heart
As if they ne'er had dwelt apart.
I saw two clouds o'er heaven's breast
On snowy wings float by,
Like spirits to the golden west
From portals of the sky;
With peaceful motion, calm and free,
(Such may m\j flight thro' heaven be!)
They gently flew
Along the blur,
Yet ever bending to each other,
Like heart of man to kindred brother,
Until they melted into one

And as a dream of peace moved on. c
IIow pine we for a kindred soul
Through life's long, changing way,?

When whispers hope with music-tone, j(
Or joy and happiness are gone!
Oh! then how sweet i ti
To fondly meet w
The kindly face of kindred brother, si
And fond hearts clinging to each other; tl
To feel beneath the storm or sun rt
Soul unto soul is knit as one! n
