THE EVENING POST. MONDAY, DECEMBER 17. That the present is a critical time tn the affairs Of the nation must bo allowed by every one who con-aiilers the subject calmly and dispassionately. Tlic relation in which South" Carolina stands to the federal government is not the only source of embarrass ment and difficulty. That question, a question to which we arc all parties, and in which we are all deeply interested, must be managed with great judgment, and with a strict desire to do justice and to preserve the Union, or iU consequences may ex tend beyond the State of South Carolina.

Tliat tlie President and his Cabinet will so manage it we have not a doubt, and their course thus far is a fclede that thev will do so. But the Administration cannot do every thing it must be sustained by Congress. The universal South is looking to Con gress for a removal of the burdens of which it has so long complained, now that the plea of their being necessary for raisin" a revenue can no longer be urged their excuse. The Administration must be supported therefore not only in that due execution of the laws wliich the stem and righteous rule of state necessity requires, but it must be supported also in tlmse healing and just measures which arc necessary to appease the feeling of discontent which is general in the agricultural States. We are glad to learn that the views contained in the President's Message on the subject of reducing the rate of du ties to tha revenue standard liave been received with great satisfaction in the Soutlu It is with no less pleasure that we are enabled to state that they will be seconded, so far as depends on the various Committees charged with the subject in Congress.

The Committee on Finance in the Senate, and the Committee of Ways and Means in the House, and that o.i Manufactures all have the subjec before them, and will all probably report some plan. The Committee of Way and Means are employed in earnest, with a view of reporting a bill, not for political eflect or to give occasion to argument, but such a hill as will stand a chance of passing, and will satisfy in a good degree the reasonable wishes of the South. The good faith of the pretence set up by the Pres ident of the United States Bank, that the motive for the transaction by which payment of a part of the national debt is ostponed, was merely a zeal for the public welfare, may be judged of from the fol lowing concise view of the case. The Bank has agreed to pay fi.ur and a ha If pet cent to the holders of Three per Cent, stock in Ku- rope it also pays Baring Co. a half per cent, for negotiating the business with the holders of tin stock, making rive per cent, in all so that the Bank pays five per cent, on three millions of stuck in En Jope, and gets six per cent, here for the use of the money, the Bank makes $30,000.

This is lite history of an operation hich the Bank claims a merit tor having effected at Us men expense, in or der to relieve the country from pressure in a season of pestilence. If the Government had three millions more to pay fc.urope to-morrow, anv Uauk would be glad to relieve the country from pressure, at its ovn expense in the same way, and without setting up the pre tence ol doing it for the public good. Our obituary bead of this day records the death of Robert C. Sands, Estj. wlio expired suddenly last evening at Hoboken.

Mr. Sands was a man extraordinary powers and attainments, joined to a I disposition of equal humanity and goodness. iyt3 I classical acquisitions were rare, in an age not fiu.t- ful ill ripe Latin and Greek srholais, and his acquaintance with tlic tragedians of Athens was scarcely less familiar than is that of the modern English scholar with the dramas of Shakspeare. His reading in the literature of his own language was unusually large and various, and to this he had added an intimate knowledge of that of several other languages of Europe. From these sources his mind was stored with a great variety of knowledge, which he had the talent to employ in the illustration of his own striking native conceptions.

He possessed an intellect of great activity, a quick and prolific fancy, and a vein of strong.racy humour. A considerable portion of his life has liecn employed in literary labours. While yet a youth lie wrote in conjunction with the Rev. James Enstliurti, a poem, cntidcd Vamoyden, which contained passages of the highest poetical merit. lie was for a while an editor of the Aualeetic Magazine, and afterwards of the New York Review.

He wrote about a third of the contents of the three volumes of the Talisman, and was also a largj contributor to some more recent publications. Latest from France. By the arrival of the packet ship Formosa, Captain Home, from Havre, Paris papers are received to the 4tli of November, an 1 Havre papers tn the 5th. The Paris correspondent of the Journal dc Havre asserts that the King of Holland has positively refused to assent to the last propositions of the Conference. FRANCE.

Paris, Nop. 3. Le Journal de.s Debats expresses great coutideuce in the situation of the Adiiunistration in the Chamvcr of Deputies it says that the most the opposition can expect, even the first instance, is the e-stence of a floating mass in Uie handier, die adhcsioa of which will give he preptHideruice to either the Ministry, or the opposiuon, and in that ease, as the raciuec Coiiiihisiug that mass have strongly pronounced themselves the friends of social order and enemies of anarchy, they will naturally support the monarchy when Uiose question are brought to issue. It adds that a schism will probabiy take place in the opposition itself by the moderate and constuiitional part ot it separating themselves from Uietr more violent comrades, and supporting the Government hen they are conv meed Uiat attacks are directed against the Monarchy itself. M.

Dopin has renounced all prrwpects of the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. M. Lafilte is therefore, presume, to be the next Pre sident. The Nouvelliste contains the illowing important article Many eronjecturcs have been formed as to Uie resolutions coaie to by the tJreat Powers. According to Ihe statements which appear most orthy of confidence England and France have signed a Convention that they will jointly enforce the execution of the Treaty of Nov.

15. The terms ofthis convention are said to have been laid iwn with the greatest precision. The kjng of Belgium and Holland are each called upon respectively to evacuate by the 2d Nov. all the territories in their possession belonging to the other. If bv that day their assent in this evacuation is not given, die combined squadrons wilt sail on the and commence the blockade and if the c.acua'ioits be not effected bv the lith, Uio Freneh anov will on the 15th march upon Antwerp.

This Treaty is calculated to avert a general war. It is certain that an express was sent off on Friday for Cher bourg, with orders for the French squadron to repair to spurn-ail."

GREAT MEETING AT TAMMANY HALL, IN SUPPORT OF THE TNION.

Never has a publ lie meeung been called in Uiis city ior tk ik.n thm whu-h in noner motives, man mat wnitn higher objects or with assembled in the Hall of the party on Saturday Evening. Even opposiuon, though warm and vexed from Uie re cent conflict, has caught the enthusiasm of the Procla mation, and responds to its lofty and parental appeal ith a long and loud well done. At a Meeting of the Democratic Republican Elector the city of New York, held at Tammany Hall, on Sat- urday Evening the loth of December, pursuant to a call of the Republican General Committee, to take into con sideration the late Proclamation of Uie President of the United States, on motien of his Honor tho Mayor, Abra ham Bloodgood was called to the chair, Saul Alley and Preserved Fish, Esqrs. were appeinted Vice Presidents and James I. Roosevelt, Jr.

and Beiijaming Ringgold Secretaries. The chair having explained the objects for which the meeting had been called, Mr. Roosevelt rose and observ ed that he was abnut to offer, for tho consideration of hu fellow citizens there assembled, a series of resolutions. on a subject upon which the public fueling tliroughont lb the country was deeply excited, and which appeared to engross the thoughts of all. It was no less a qnestioc than whether the American Union, and with it the Amer ican name, and all its hallowed and glorious and inspiring associations, should be preserved, ana cnensnea, nc perpetuated or, ia a few short months, perhaps days, be classed with the the things that are no more.

Just as were Uie complaints of our Southern bretliren, galling and grinding as were the restrictions under wmcn tney laoour- ed, and ardently as to be desired to sec these grievances re- dressed, Uiey were all aa noUiing compared with a land bathed in Uie blood of its own children, and a Union, thr fairest and the best that pat riot bin ever smiled upon, dis solved into iu original elements. To avert, if possible. such a catastrophe, was an object worthy of Uie best ex ertions of all men of all parties. After a further glowing appeal, and a deep heartfelt eulogimn upon the tone and wisdom of die President's Proclarnniatiou, to which the audience loudly and warmly responded, the mover concluded by oflVriiur the following resolution, which were put by the chair and unanimously adopted Resolved, Thai as is the right, se alse it in the duty of the citizens of a republic, on great and trying occasions, to assemble, and confer together, and express their optsaoB and purposes, order, not only to instruct, but to strengthen thear public t'uwuuriariea, and by the creation and eihlliruon at smtu jr lo supersede, if posfuolo, uie ni-cessn ot rwt iwyneal Jam. Resolved, therefore, that we approve of ihe call of this meeting.

1 lie inhabitants ot the Island have nev er ventured to meet it this supernatural dread is owing toa story, which the early settlers connected with its history, some time in the early part ot tlic eighteenm century, the ship Palatine, filled with German emigrants and bound tor America, was wrecked uion the shores ot this Island, aad nea-'ly all its passengers were lost, as afterwards ascertained Uiat a murder had been com mitted on board during the voyage, and Uiat the destruc- tioo of the ship was a preconcerted plan. Large sums of money were Ciund buried in the sand near the shore, i i i i 1 which confirms the truth of the above. Since that night, the mliabiiau have often seen a spectre light, Moating over the place where Uie vessel sunk, Uie name of hich has been given to this luminous phenemenon. We here transcribe a letter written several years ago, by Dr. Wil- ley, who resided on the island, to Ihe late I r.

IJcar fcir In a tormer letter 1 promised to give vou an account ot' the singular light which is sometimes seen- from this place. I now hasten to fulfil mv engagement. 1 should, long since have communicated Ihe tact to the bterarv world, but was unwilling to depend wholly upon the information of others, when, by a little delay, Uiere as probability of my receiving occular demonstration. I have not, how ever, been so fortunate, in this respect, as i couiu wkii, navuig na.i omv two opportunities oi view- i ing Uiis phenomenon. My residing nearly six miles from I the shore, which lies next to the re ion of its exhibition 1 and behind elevated ground, has prevented me from see- I ing it se frequently, perhaps, as 1 might otherw ise have I done.

The people who have always lived here are so I tamiliarized lo the sight, that they never think of giving I itiee to those who do not happen to be present, or even of mentioning it afterwards, uuless they hear some par ticular mqiunes inaue. 1 his curious irradiation rises from the ocean near the northern part ef the island. Its atmearance is nothing different from a blaze of fire whether it actually touches the water, or merely hovers over it, is uncertain, for I am informed that no person has been near enough to decide accurately. It beams with various manitudes, and appears to bear no more analogy to the ifrni jhtuus. than it does to the Aurora boreatig.

Sometimes it is small, resembling the light through a distant window at others expanding to the bigness ot a ship with all her canvass spread. When large, it displays either a pyrainidical lornt, or three constant streams. In the latter case, the streams are somewhat blended together at the bottom. but separate and distinct at the top, while the middle one rises rauiar Higher than the other two. it tnav nave uie same appearance when small, but owing to distance and I surreunding vapours cannot be clearly perceived.

Thi I ugnt otien seems to ne in a constant slate of ruination i decreasing by degrees it becomes invisible, or resembles a 1-tcid point then shining anew, sometimes widi a sud-deu Hare, at others by a gradual iucremenr, to is former sue. Often the mutability regards the lustre only, becoming less and less bright until it disappears or nothing but a pale outline can be discerned of us full size, Uien resnnung its li inner splendour, in the manner before re lated, he duration ot its greatest ami least state of I iiitimiiiaiiou is not comtnoiilv more than two or Ihre minutes lias inconstancy, however, does not appear in every instance. Alter the radiance seems to be totally ex'inct, it does not alw avs return in the same is not uufrequent-ly scens billing at some considerable distance from which it disappeared. In this transfer of locality il seems to have no certain hue ofdi-ectiou. When most expanded, this blaze is generally wavering like the flame of a torch.

At one time it appears sta tionary at another progressive. Il is seen at all seasons of the year, and for the most part in the calm weather which precedes an easterly or southerly storm. Il has, however, been noticed during a severe north-western gale, and when no storm immediately followed. Its continuance is sometimes but transient, at others throughout the night, and il has becu known to appear several nights in succession. This Uaxe actually emits luminous rays.

A gentle man whose bouse situated near too sea, infnrms me that he has known is lo illuminate considerably the all of his room through the windows. This happens only when the light is within half a mile of the shore for it is otien seen blazing at six or seven miles distance, and si rangers suppose lo be a vessel on tire. Haviug giveu a concise, but general descnirtion ol this unusual radiance, in which 1 have been aided by the con current testimony of divers veritable characters, I wnl now offer you those observations afforded me by the op portunities I nave had Sir it myself. 1 he first Uine I beheld it was at evening twilight, in February, I 1810. It was larne and geullv lambent very bright, I hrnsd at the bottom ami terminating acutely uoward.

It eoniuiueu about nueen miuuiea irom oiv i r. i. tine I hrst olverved it: then gradually became smaller and more dim, until it was entirely extinguished. I saw it again on tho evening of December the 20th.

It was then small, and I supposed it to be light on board of some vessel, hut I was soon undeceived. It moved along, apparently parallel to the shore, for about two miles in the time that I was riding one, at a moderate pace. An ascent of ground then hid it for a few minutes from my view. Passing this I observed it about halfway back to tin caieer. I nlace where it had commenced its vagrant then stopped to observe it more attenuvely.

The light then remained still for some time then moved "if uuickly for several rods and made a hall thus being aherna(e moton rest. magnitude and lustre were subject to the same unsteadiness descri- lied above. This lucid meteor is known by the name of the fala- dnt light. By the ignis ant and superstitious, it is thought lo be supernatural? Its appellation originated from that of a ship called the PaUUine, which was designedly cast awav. at this ulaee.

The King of Naples was aware that the President hat! declared that he would submit to nothing that is wrong lie knew him to be as good as his word he knew thai wrong had been done to our country by the spoliations upon our commerce he was conscious that to continue to refuse indemnitv was a persist ance in the wrong hv saw something of the power which could be brought to bear Uon him if justice were withheld he perceived that he could no longer tamper with our government, and we know the consequence. 1 he President exercised no more power than the constitution eave him.

i To the Senate and Hou.v of' Ihleeatts I have received from the Governor of South Carolina I with a rem lest to lav it before you, an official document. oulainuig an Ordinance adopted by a Convention of the People ot that State convened according to Uieir con- I st itut ion and laws, to take under consideration all the I Tarn! Laws, passed by the Congress of the U. S. for the protection of certain species ot labor, and to deteriiune iiHu their const it utionaittv. It will be perceived from the document presented to you, that S.

Caroliha, actuig in her sovereign capacity in I that Convention of the people, has now declared those laws unconstitutional, and not law, and by various iiieuts forbidden the attempt on the part of Federal Gov-1 eminent to carry mem into execution wiunn tne uiiuis her territory, after the 6rst day of February next rietore taking the step, our sister JMa rejioatcuiy protested and pressed her memorials upon the consideration of congress earnestly entreating tuem to abaii lon law-so unequal and unjust in their operation, presenting in Uie clearest and most vivid colors, the scene ol utter run and desolation which must ensue fo her. if thev persisted in btuldingupa svsieni so unequal and oppressive. All this has been disregarded bv Uiat body which Irom being Ihe dcixities or agent of the States, aspire to control then- principles, and to hind their own jiower, only by Uie construction the matoritv or their own body mav think proiK-r to give to the Constitution During the war of the Revolution which made Uie States of this Confederacy free and and avo them a name and tank among the nations of th earth. South Carolina, the land of Sumpter and of Man n. stood linn, and displayed in the field ot battle de.

She has taken Uus step, jtislile-il as she avers, by the Constitution, which, recognizing her as a sovereign party to the instrument, guarantee? toiler in virtue ufher reserved powers as such, Uie right lojmlge of the Infractions of the compact, and the mode and mea sure ol retires.

In a Government of limited powers like that of the United States, acung uihiu communities so distant from each other, and of such variety of interests. it is not to be wondered at the legislation ot Uie ma turity should sometimes press unequally upon the inter ests of the minority. In all such cases a due regard to tuslice should prompt matoritv to an invesUgation of he causes, with a view to a redress ot the grievance. But when this is denied on the part of Uie majority, and their right lo persist in such a course of legislation is soletrnily put in issue by the action of one or more sove- reign seems to me the part of isdom not to ap peal to the sword, lor the settlement ot such issue, but ihat au amicable reference should be made to the groat ribunal which formed and adopted the Const ltution, nam. lv, the People of the Slates themselves.

To refuse this, would be discredit the fundamental truth which lies at the foundation ot all our institution? that a peo ple are capable ot sell-govcrniucnt. such a course is due to Uie interests of all, lo the harmony of all, to the 1 1 .1 l.i uvwiiiuwhi, me uhiuii, anu wu ni aim viijcM ol these, to Laoeny ilsell.
