From the Edgetleld Advertiser. *-

The Convention vs. the People,it is certainly a remarkable stateof things, \

when a Convention kicks against the Peoplewho created it, on account of a fair and 1outspoken disapproval ofjts rooasUtap, em- 1anaticg from the very bosonfof that people.The people of Sonth Carolina in their primaryassemblies venture in respectfnl terms <

to demur to the coarse of their Convention, 1and sundrymembers of this body are plea- 1

sed to speak of the whole inatter as if it <were mere causeless recusancy. .

*

One gentleman is anjeioua. to remove the <

vpabtdwn* that keeps alive- this (ferment..' JAnother opines that 'narrow-minded peo*pie are always jealousofpowerswbichthey |do not possess themselves.' A third is a- <

ware tnat.'demagogues are preparing to use '

the smothered feeling in ^he country for <

their own advanoement.' And the Secre- £

tary of War himself (a member of and a ipaid officer under the Convention) stoops '<

from hia emincncs to charge a portion of >

tiie people of South Carolina with a crime '

akin to treachery, because tbey are not <

disposed to submit to' what they believe to '

be usurpation and tyranny. 5This very condition of things ought to 1

be enough to prove that', the body has out' £

lived its legitimate limits, and is no longer tthe people of South Carolina. *

Bat the people are taunted from the highBeats of. power, and tbey .have at least a 1

perfect right to fling back, imputations up c

on their patriotism from whatever, quarter 1they may come. It is doing tbem gross in- 1justice to say that their latedemonsfratians iin almost.every portion of the State have 1

proceeded from any other cauBe than an *

earnest desire to conserve the true interestsandto guard the ancient obaracter of South s

Carolina. Witnessing a great- and radicalchange in the structure of their State Oov- ferameat, and'keptinthe dark as to the <!reasonstbat were supposed to make such a £change imperious, was it not most natural \that they shofcld at ouee take the alarin and 0

give the note of warning to those who had r

been (suddenly and in great haste) author gized to effect their severenoe from an al- V

ready existant despotism ? Was it to be 1szpeoted'that-men who were ready to peril iill to he free from the shackles of tyranny/ dshould look patiently upon what bad at e

least the semblance of the same evil 1 fe

JNo one" ever accused the Convention, of r

their Council, of bad purposes. All are

true Southerners, all are true patriots, inSouth Carolina. It was the error in prin- f;ipie, it was the. precedent dangerous to 11

ibertyt against which popular" opposition Iirose. And this very opposition will serve a

io adorn the history of our State in future *

rears. n

It was, and is, idle to talk about danger *

o the Southern cause from this opposition. a

rhe little turmoil in Sooth Carolina's in- *

ernal affairs is not felt, scarcely observed, ^mtside the. State. The management ofhe war is in the hands of the Confederate dgovernment, and there it properly belongs bfhe Secretary of War of South Carolina is e

lot known upon the great current of events bhat flows steadily on to 'our deliverance, bWe mean no disrespeot to this official.- It bs bis misfortune to occopy a position of ho. Amportaoce in the eyes of the people of the &donfederacy whilst actually offensive to a darge number of his immediate fellow-citi- tlsent. -No.it matters not to the Southern f(jause at large whether South Carolina is in 11rouble about ber internal affairs or not,irovided she furnishes, as she has done, tller foil quota of men to the service.

. But-jei\ does matter, in the eyes of her own peo- w

>le, whether her State Government shall ei

sonform to republican principles or run off bvildlj into a new experiment verging to- sivards the hateful rule of an oligarchy. ci

No manner of harm (but the very con- 01

rary) has come of the people's agitation 0

ind discussion of the Convention's doings; ^md that members of- this body shonld e- st

rince impatience of such agitation, is good ai

;round for concluding that the Conventionlas outlived its spirit and purpose. w

The people are calm aDd resolute in their tlionviction8;.it is the Convention that has ai

nanifested excitability. Its members have w

lonbtless been actuated by the highest sen- w

iments of-patriotism. But the people saw 01hat their' Convention, although an ablessemblage in point of scholarly learning olnd legal lore, was not composed of that m

lard, common-sense material so much needdin an emergency like the present. The Jleople saw this, and preferred to think forhemselves. Thus thinking, they^ have Cpoken their judgment as every free penileshould do; and that judgment will be w

arried into effeot. .

Having said thus muoh on the part of ^he People adversus the Convention, we

iow desire to hail that body's recent actions looking to a restoration of the people'sights to their regular and snffioient State ^J-overnment. The vox populi has had itsffect, and the Revolution will be revoluionizedwithout giving moral aid to Linolnor in the least impairing the ability of ^he Confederate States to maintain theirodependence. Let us then go back to the;ood old way quickly, and, forgetting the Pauses of our late disagreement, let us press 'asrward again harmoniously in the work of grur political salvation. . ar

aflRunning the Blockade. °e

Did it ever strike any body that if a steam- 18

r with an "assorted cargo" of Yankee f®1oods, taken in at Nassau, attempts to run re

be blockade, she generally does it; and ifie same steamer takes out cotton to Na9- r®i

tu, to be immediately taken thence to New &ri

rork or Boston, she somehow slips out with- th;at the blockaders seeing her. foiBut let a vessel have a cargo on board

lat does not come from Yankee land, and m<

le blockaders are wide-awake, she is done hii>r certain; or let her try to run out with m(

jtton not intended for the Yankee mar- rei* and she is bound to be picked up..ust keep ji>w« open and see if this to

' not abont so.

We stood as immeasurably above our adversariestu resources on the last day's battleat Pull Run as. a year ago.

Carolina. The friende*of the' present Governor,although deeply mortified by the circumstanceswhich have snatched from hisadministration (gloriously"begun) the honorof a successful and satisfactory prosecutionand accomplishment, are nevertheless indisposedhow to carp at what is past. Ifthe arrangement has given any gratificationto the personal Animosity which evidentlyexists in South Carolina towards, that geh-'rlenfan, or if it ba* calmed the nerves ofthose -who supposed that bis decision, ofpurpose and independence of action wonldplunge the State into untold difficulties, ithas perhaps subserved two of its ends; Wedoubt not, moreover, that it has given relief'to many good men who honestly, beievedthat the times oalled for a five headjddictatorship. However all this may Irewe are ready to say with many of the people: let it pass, provided the precedent beibolished at once and forever.' It is howproven to have been unnecessary and un;aUedfor. It is not shown, and it cahootje shown, that the Council has achievedinythiog commensurate with the promise ,

>f its loud-sounding programme. It is hotihown, and it cannot be shown, that the .

jovernor could not have done better forhe State, better for. the Country, than theCouncil has done. And, with many wholave felt this fact deeply, we remonstrate
