1 Governor Hayne. of South Carolina, makes ] the following remarks in his Message, which every freeman ought 10 read.

 '''rhe Whigs of inc Union are beginning to rouse themselves from that fatal apathy in which. they have too long slunbered, and thanks be to God the Spirit of Liberty is a. gain round the land. must be permitted. however, to express my appTeheBsiOns, the result of careful observation of passing e. vents, and of no small experience iW the cOun- cils of the nation, that the public mind is not yet fully awakened iO the alarming condition of the country, and that even those who felt most keenly the rifectsof Executive usurpas tim, are mt yet prepared to apply any effec- tive remedy. The true remedy, in my esti- nation, Is Convention o} the States-to re- form the ConstitutiOn--tO take fresh securi- ties for the public Liberty--to secure Execu- tive responsibility, and erect new guards a. gainst Federal usurpaiion. The rights of the States, and the Liberties of the citizens, must be effec,uaily seeuseds the general Govern nnent must be brought back to ifs true limits the executive must he confined to its appro- priate sphere--and in a word, the restrictions imposed by ConstitutiOnai compact between the sovereign States must be. sacredly adher- ed to, or the Union cannot be much longer preserved.

 :. aln under the deepest conviction, that our Liberties are in da0ger. The Govern nient is rapidly degeneraling into an irrespon- slblc despotistn. With the Purse and the Sword, and the vast patronage of a cOnsoii- dated Government in his hands, the President will appoint his successor. Congress will be held tn subjection by Executive patronage, which will be brought into hourly conflict with the freedom of elections and if under such disastrous circumstances, any of the States shall he able 10 preserve their Liberties, they may not be able to preserve the Union. Let every man, therefore, who loves the land of ms birth or adoption--every true disciple of Liberty-all who are sincerely devoted to the Constitutinn and the Union-forgetsing minor dtereDces--Mnite in one mighty effort for the salvation of their country. Our course. fellow citizens. at this momentous crisis. is perfectly cleaS. The path of duty lies plainly before us. Let SIS resolve tO walk therein, pressing forward to that glorious consumMa. tiou Of our hdpcs--a Rndical Reform of all existing abuses. Unsnbdued by the blandish- ments or the frowns of power, jet US stand prepared. eagerly to embrace, and steadily to p'Irsne, every measure-.-cOIne from, Whal quarter tt may-having in view the glorious work of Rrforin-alwass bearing in mind. that upon the issue of our labors in this ield, depend the preservation of that noble inherit ance Of freedom, which was purchased by our fathers. with their blood, which We are bound hy the inost sacred obligations to traDsrnit unimpaired 10 the latest pOsterity."
