WASHlNGTON, 25th January, 1854.

 We hear nf large meeting having assem- bled at Charleston, South Carolina, without distinction of parties, to take into considera- tion the present distress of the country, and to petition for the restoration of the deposits. It is said to have been the largest meeting ey- CT held in that city. A committee Of twelve, consisting of six from the Nullifying, and six from the Union party, was appointedto draw petition to Congress.

 We hear of your proceedings in New-York with deep interest. The movement of the people should be without any excitement of party feelings. They should petition because they are oppressed; and they should not be afraid to speak to those who have brought the general distress on the cOuntry. Whatever may have c0nduced t0 the prevailing derange- ment of the finances of the country, may be fit subject hereafter of inquiry; but the first thing tO he done Is tO relieve the people, by giving to industry its due reward, and by re- storing the confidence of the community in the currency of the country. The people must speak loud. as Mir. Van Buren is quite hard of hearing. He says there is no distress of any consequence and what little there is, IS produced by the Bank of the United States, and will be .. as the dew of the morning."- They should speak with force, and sOlemnity. in order to Oyerawe. and make grave the countenances of Silas Wright. and Isaac Hill. When Mr. Webster was portraying the dis dresses of the people at New Bedford yester- day tn the Senate. these unfeeling Robespieres could mack at their grievances. and insult the Senate by their laughter. Let your com miltre bring the names of as many thousands as can be procured in New-York the num- her of names will not move Mir. Cambreleng, nor probably either Mr. White or Mr. Law
