And free trade — that is a terrible Mr. Moore's opposition to the contrary not with standing,) that she need not enter into the traffic; that we Carolinians will take all the blame and the profits, too. And free trade — that is a terrible beg-a-boo, too. Congress, however, has declared against both. No doubt exists that the Daniel Webster is still hanging round about us, whether at the instance of the "Old Public Functionary" or that of "Hasty Plate of Soup, " I can't say; but we only laugh outright when we see paragraphs going the rounds of the papers, that fo

The Convention. Several resolutions on the National difficulties were offered yesterday, and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Chambliss made some forcible remarks in opposition to the Peace Conference propositions, and Mr. Carlile was quite as decided on the opposite side.

Mr. Wise begged to assure him that he never cried out crucify South Carolina; but had there been an attack upon her he would have fought side by side with him in her defence. Mr. Bruce went on to pay his respects to Messrs. Moore, of Rockbridge, and Baldwin, of Augusta, of whom he had little hope, and made humorous allusions which excited the merriment of the members as well as the spectators. The argument of the gentleman from Albemarle (Mr. Holcombe) as to the impossibility of turning back the tide of fanaticism, he considered irresistible. The subject of slavery he said was not a question of dollars and cents — a question of raising and lowering the tariff. Referring to the first introduction of the institu
