The North will insist upon incorporating the Wilmot Pro viso in their Territorial Government, although they lie North of 36 deg. 30 in. To show their j deadly scorn of the Missouri Compromise line, j they foist'd it upon t lie Territorial Government of Oregon; And to show their malignant and implacable hate of the South, and of African slavery as it exists there, they will engraft it up on Nebraska and Washington. It. is to be h.'p-ri that tii- South will awake from her supine and stagnant trance, and step forth armed and 1 read* to repel aggression, and avenge insult.— When the grim llag of her foe is tiling out to ! the blast, let her be ready to sound her bugle note over the border.” The above proclamation of danger and call to ! arms is from the < ‘harleslon Jfcrcttfi/. Itstands not nloneiti its apprehensions ; nearly every Ad ministration press in the South has expressed the same misgivings, and warned its readers to be prepared for the evil day. Now, wo do not intend to discuss the question, wllether these prophesies ale based upon solid and substantial foundations or not —we rather incline to the suspicion that they are, and we think we can divine sullicieiit ground for tlm existence of so lamentable a state of atlairs as is necessarily involved in a renewal of this danger ous issue—-but our object is, simply to invite at tention to the position in which these alarmists have placed themsi:lve* in the eyes-of the South ern people. For once they seem to have forgot ten self, and told-the trutll, without reflecting ‘that they were writing out, to the gaze of the j world their own condemnation :uul shame. Let a bet raved people mark the confession.

We are told of “ their tintJl/ seorn of the Missouri Compromise,” their ” )i>(tli;/<tnl aml implacable hate of the South’’ ! that “ at/t/rrnslott'’ and insult,'’ are in store i for the South, and assured that the North “ will engraft the Wilmot proviso upon the Territories of Nebraska ainT Washington.” .Os all these things the Mercury entertains not a doubt, and, in a rapture of patriotism calls upon the South k> “.step forth, armed and ready to repel aggres ! sion and nVefige insult,” and ‘•sound her bugle ! note over the border,” Now, we a-k the ques j tiott: ll htt\ice are all these evils to coitie upon | the land 1 U7> is this “ malignant and impla ! cable ” foe to the South, against whom she is | forewarned to bo forearmed f H7io constitute j the present majority in the Congress of the Uui j tcd,7itates r tliat are- meditating these-wrongs and injuries upon their Southern brethren i Let them answer these questions and blush for shame ! They arc the Jr fen Jr of the present Ad ministration—llll*ll who have been fostered and magnified by this government at the sacrifice of the true friends of the South, and whom those very Southern editors who now sound the bugle note of war, have, for months, been hugging to their bosoms as true and repentant democrats, washed of every stain, and striving to impose, upon a generous people as worthy of their con fidence and fellowship ! Is this not true ? Who will deny it'! The demoorstic party has vast majorifils in either branch of Congress, and if fth South is to receive the blow, it must come ffm their hands — the minority are impotent. The South has been threatened and extorted and cajoled to regard these men as standing up on the Baltimore true to her in terests and institutions; the word has scarcely fallen from their lips—yea, even in the same breath, she is called upon to resist them as foes to herself, and traitors to the Constitution.

Internal Improvements by the Government. It is amusing to witness the ingenious device- of Democratic members of Congress to shape out a plan of internal improvements by the Government that shall not conflict with the •• fundamental priii iple” of their party creed. 1 lie question now, is not one of opposition to a system of inter nal improvements, but bow to conform that sys tem to a heretofore recognised antagonistic policy The great struggle seems to be for appropriations from the national treasury for improvements in the East; West. North and .South ; and gentlemen are particularly solicitous that the subject should be referred to that,..committee of Congress which is known to be most in favor of internal improve ments. Members, however, by way ts a balsam to wounded consistency, and as a propitiation to the antiquated pet of divers Baltimore Platforms, declare againsi committing the party to a ’ ui.n- KitAL system” of internal improvements by the Government. They arc not going to scatter the public funds broad-east over the land, but only in j small sums of two or three millions of dollars per I •minim, for the benefit of their particular constit uency North, South, East and West! One mem ber objects to referring to the committee on reads and canals, because tin; ci mposition of that com mittee is unfavorable to improvenien sin his di rection, while it is very indulgent to tin sc in an other. For tho same reason other members ep poßm reference to the committee on commerce or on ways and means. No one seems to anticipate opposition on constitution at, grounds. Th at is an old fogy ism, a bobby of ancient Democracy utterly incompatible with the “spirit of the age’’ and the go-a-headativeness of Young America.— In fact, it was never intended to mean any thing else than opposition to Wliiggery ! The Whigs took up the notion that the interests of this great He public and people could bn better subserved by a judicious system of internal improvement- : by rendering navigable her rivers and opening lip ‘ new channels of commerce as population inereas- ‘ ed and the necessities of tlie people might demand: hv returning to the people something like an ; equivalent for their money, in the increased hap- j piness. comfort and success which a judicious ap- j plication of some portion of the public treasure to j works of internal improvement was calculated to . afford. When the Whigs first assumed a position like this, it was absolu'ely necessary to their sal- • ration, that Democrats should combat it®becal m: it was \Vmu. Then “ strict* construction” was j opposed to ‘•internal improvement,” and tho peo ple were cautioned to beware of •■Federalism” and a “violation of the spirit and letter of the Consti tution.” If the Whigs succeeded in committing the Government to an internal improvement poli cy, the country would be ruined, the Constitution trampled under foot, and the administrative pow er bcocnie absolute, arbitrary, and an engine of; oppression! Those horrible fellows, tho Whigs, were always orignating some scheme to “plunder,” “enslave,” or ‘ ruin” tjh*: i*eoi*le, and this of in ternal improvements was one. At least it must be so represented; for the truth is, they have sto len a march upon the Democrats, and thisquestb n of converting the people’s money to the people's good, in the way proposed, must be met, and the public mind poisoned against its originators before its intrinsic mcritsslmll have been fully develop'd. So Democracy planted itself in opposition to In ternal Improvements, and fought the question, un til an enlightened—public-opinion recognised the wisdom of Whig suggestion, and forced Democra cy to recede, step by step, until, but for the em barrassment of former declarations, platforms and resolutions, the doctrine of Internal Improvement by the General Government would this day find hardly an opposing voire in the halls of Congress. As it is, there are a few stickler* for consistency, who, while advocating certain meaaures of im provement, make a great parade about the Balti more Convention doctrine of opposition to a “gen eral” system of internal improvements. These gentlemen, one might suppose from their argu ment, would have the people believe that the Whigs contemplated the construction of by-roads, foot-paths, &c., to every wen’s door by the Gener al Government, and that a general system of in ternal improvement nient a universal clearing out and grassing of high-ways end by-ways, and a re moval of obstructions from all tho rivers, creeks and rivulets in the United States! If this is not their meaning, we should like to know what they no mean by paper resolutions and vaporing speech es against a “ general system,” when the records of Congress will show that the Democratic party have far exceeded in the amount of their appro priations for internal improvements, any expendi tures ever contemplated by the Whigs.
