Pram la BickouMiJ Waif. GENERAL COMMANDER. Th State of South Coro'ina determined to teke a commanding posiiiun in tha ap proaching contest, seem to have been e qnally resolved' that there should be no mistake, tbinitio, with regard to her in tentinn. Accordingly sbe ha aent to the Baltimore Convention a gentleman whose nam sufficiently indicate the relation in which heatanda to thereat of the Conven tion, and who dipition, aa manifest ed in tha proceedings, amply justify his name. The individual to whom wo allude ia General Commander, who, by virtue of his name, we presume kindly enough takes npon himself the commander in chief of all Soitib Carolina He t etflrinryr and alone," as Col. Benton would have it; no "captain knight or man at arms" follows in his train; he is not even accompanied by a stsflt, se sny person, bearing such a formi dable name, and wield ine such extensive power, undoubtedly should be. As be is supposed to represent the Chivalry, who, in their turn are thought '0 bold the bal ance, hia name and his duties ara not at alt incompatible with "exiating circumstan ee." But we have not yet et forth the entire elaim of th South Carolina Delegate, to the name in which ha rejoice. He is the sols Delegate from a single StateMhst is much, bulk is not alL,. He i, sent by . a sine Is town in thst State! The town of cnr.gctowtt.,ba .the honor., of, lurittshing bim with the commission by virtue of which ha commandt the whole 8late of Soath Carolina. It ia true that State at lane refused to send delrgstesi but what of hstt It ia the nature of all eoromandeta to be arbitrary: indeed th very nature of their dutiea requires thst they should be so; snd this one wa presume t no excep tion to the general rule. Accordingly, we find him bearing down all opposition. The Caaa men could do nothing with him; they were but tha representative of ona great Commander, while he who wss assailed was tha very thing itself. He bore ia his own- psraoo, the spirit of ail South ed out of the soil, body, egga aod all, and they wiU not est up your vine a aoon a tbey coma oat of the ground.
