My colleague will inter rupt inc whether I will or not. I admit lint I , with others at the South, who believed that there was no ne cessity for a submission of the Lccompton constitution to the people, for I Sit, I then believed that it was to be submitted for the sole ami improper purpose unfairly to pet rid of slavery.

I was anxious a till have been ansioss since the difficulty arose, tb-at the question m:ght be got rid of without barm to the pace and imere-t of the country, or th snerifice of any principle.

After a pleasaut conversation on several subjects, which continued an hour and-a-haif, in the course of which we til (and 1 among tbem) expressed our di.-approbatiou of the doctrines .nd measures of tue Abo litionists of the North, I arose to return to the hot.; fjr dinner. H-fore le.viow. bow eer. i.e i-entlcmen in the oflii-e invited me very kindly to eome .u .gain- in the aflur- I noon, which I promised to do. j Now, in this account of what took place' iu the office, tbe reader will learn that hc has suppressed for purposes of bin own, a tin1: stateiii.i.t of what did actually occur in the olTicc. We have endeavored to ob tain a correct version and give it to the public. After Mr. Todd was seated in the office, David Parks, Ksq , (the corpulent gentleman lie refers to) learning th.t he aa. from the North, politely banded to him a ,te number cf tbe New York Curnmrr'c, supposing that he fell interested in hearing the late.l oca from home. Asi . , - j,. , soon as he asecrtsiued the name of the pa-1 . . rm per ue commeueeu auunng ,i, anu ue.p.ng , upon it many opprobrious epithets, and Lis conduct was ao objectionable that Mr. Parks left the office to keep from insulting a min ister. Aud in the after part of the day whea be eaw Mr. Parks with the lame paper in ki. band be requested bim to throw away tbe dirty sheet. Thj Journal of Commerce has been con sidercd by many persons here sound on the question of slavery aa its motto is " Tin Rihle, Till Constitution and tub Union," and when this Ilcv. gentleman commenced abusing it ; he was set down as a rouk aboli tionist by those present, although he deuied being oue, and to his abuse of the paper may be attributed the treatment he receiv. ed in tbe afternoon at the office, when he remarked that tbe Bible did not support slavery. We do not thiuk it necessary to follow tbe Rev. gentleman through his long article, but barely remark that tbe occurrence at the office in the afternoon had tbe effect to bring together a number of our most res pectable citiiens, and although tbey are every ready to treat gentlemen with amenity, yet when such a pest as an abolitionist ob trudes bimsul f ating as, tbey are as ready to visit on him the opposite treatment ; aud although be was permitted to remain until half past o iu tbe Uiorning, instead of being compelled to leave at half past 1 at night, is to be attributed to tbe forbearance of our citizens and from bis denyiug that he was an abolitiouist, although bis conduct bad belied bis assertion. The conduct of this Rev. gentlemau was so objectiouablc throughout that a North ern gentleman who was on a visit to ibis place, aud who beard Lis remarks relative to the Journal of Commerce, on hearing that a committee bad been ap pointed to wait on him said that be could not blame tbe cititena if they used him roughly. No threat of a " coat of tar and feathers," was made, but he uo doubt rich ly deserved one. This Rev. gentleman denied that be was an abolitionist bere, but the following ex tract of a letter to r. II. M. I'ritcbard, of this place, who considers himself honored by his notice of him, from a geutleuian of Tarry to wd, N. Y, gives Lis true character. Read the extract: " Mr. Todd has resided in this place some three or four yetrs and is well known here " " ,rdenl "nd Iea,ou5 luti-alatery nian and is ecnera.Iy recojrnitcd as an abolition U, aud pre ious to hi eutering the mmi-trj is said edited an anti-slavery newspaper iu the last Presidential election he enter ed iuto the canvass aaiust Mr. Ituchauau with all the warmth and ardor of a heated politician, aud slavery was the burden of his or po-ition, which be also carried into I-" ud p.rUli, and ou a ;.ub!ie oc casion, a fast day, after delivering an ami- slavery discourse fiom his pulpit, some of I bis sympalhiting friends moved to have it published, which caused open opposition and , angry contention in the Church, and a justj rebuke from the Editor of the paper of wLich iho euclused slip is taken."

From our Correspondent. Charleston, June 15, lSS. Kvery thing is rather quiet just now, and the fabiouable world is preparing to retire into the privacy of summer quarters. Hous es ore being closed for the season, and up per tendum are supposed to have gono to tho springs, the north or the mountains, where birds of a fashionable feather do flock together. Your correspondent, though just return ed from the gay and da.hing metropolis of tbe new world, leaves again to-morrow for a flyina trip to Augusta, the quiet iulaud city of shade trees nud magnificent di.-tauccs I know that that is not the fashionable sum mer resort for Chnrlestouians, yet, as I am not a member of the " Magic Circle," I shall not lose cast by a little piece of itidi.-crction. The alarm bell which was buns' in the cupola rf the Orphan House recently be came cracked from the violent pounding the steeplemau gave it in order to rouse tho sleeping citiaeus to a tense of their danger wlien the devouring elements was wrappin their dwellings in sheets of flame. Tbe crack destroyed tho sound and it was found no ccssary to displace it with a new oue. And now comes the tug of war the bone of contention. Tbe question arises, shall it be made at home or at the north ! Tbe mechanics say they can make it iu Charles ton, and the lkiard of Fire Masters say they cannot ; the latter prevails and the bell is cast at Troy New York, at the celebrated fnunilary of the Mes-rs McNcely and sous. This bell, wbicb weifhs 0,305 pounds, was shipped fioin New Yoik on Saturday last in the steam propeller Atlanta, Capt Lay field, and will arrive in this city this eve nine, when it is proposed to fire a national salcte, and give it aud its friends a torch light procession. The war of words is wax ing warm, aud before the matter is finally settled there may be some cracked heada as well aa a cracked bell. I do not see that the resumption of spe cie pajmeut by the Ranks has helped busi ness much aa yet. We will however hope for better times, and look anxiously forward to the opeuiug of tbe fall trade, which we have every reason to believe now sill bo brisk and extensive. The commercial po-i tiou of Charleston will alivays enable her to command ao nntrammcle I and fl'-urishing intercourse with the outside world, both by sea aud land. We have no exciting political questions now before the people, and matters iu that quarter are comparatively quiet.
