the active opposition of the National Go

Without contemplating this probable ter
mination of such a confl tto dm happi

let us s-e what effect his w,,iiid have on
our coiiiii era and prosperity. The national

all this mischief would lose nothing. Nay
they would fatten on the hell broth they
had brewed in their infernal cauldron.
What is commercial prosperity—what

tempest aud sweep away the foundations

commerce, what do they care if they can
have a momentary triumph with a factious
leader.
it would unquestionably be quite im
possible t > carry on any regular business
with the S mth it one seceded State had
the power to divert to itself,by the absence
of duties or low gradation of them, the trade
which had diffused itself, undeia general
constitutional system.
No doubt such discriminations would
be made by European powers, in favor of
a seceded Male, as would compel other
States to fad into a compa t with it, and
thus the alienation of feeling would he sus
tain, and by the alienation of interest, until
our industry .was actually gone, and our
cohesion for ever destroyed
/All these results are sure to follow, even
on tlie slightest act of resistance on the
part of South Carolina. A personal ren
contre between a citizen of that State and
a Government inspector of customs, is
enough to light (lie flame of discord and
plnug'* the country into a fratricidal war.

The Question by cold water —The

on among the inmates ol the Sing Sing
State Prison tor some time past was dis
covered list weelr. When fir>t implica
ted those engaged in it strenuously denied
any agency in the matter, hut a resort to
the usual punishment of the prison—ihe
sliowjT bath— brought forth n full conies,

the Tribune says-
The person who is to undergo the oper

water falls about six feet and U the rate of
about a barrel a minute, through a piece
of iron with ijiiarter-inch hob s. J'h.e offi

shuts off the water by means of a cord at
tached to a valve. Since the lash was
abolished this mode of punishment lias
been found very efficacious.

Fillmore Whigs.— Fish and Wade,

“conservative whigs!” The election of
Fish was slaved off for near two months
by the firmness of Mr Beekumn, if whig
who could not swallow his abolition teoden
cies, and the whig papers of this city, and
all over the South, applauded his course
and denounced Fish. Now, the Washing

says of this same Fish,
“tie is the personal and political friend
of President Fillmore, and will yield a firm
and cordial support to his administration.”

Columbus, Ga. Wednesday Moraing, April 9, 1851
At a meeting of the Democratic
Party of Chatham county, held in Savan
nah on the 4th inst., the Hon Thomas
Parse was called to the cnair and C. S-
Harris appointed Secretary. The Chair
man having stated the object of the meet
ing, the following resolutions were offered
by R. H. Grffin, Esq. and adopted :
Resolved, That the Democratic Party in
the several counties in the State, be re
quested to send Delegates to a Convention
in Milledgeviile, for the purpose ot nomi
nating a candidate for Governor.
Resolved, Tnat the Democracy of Chat
ham county respectfully suggest the se
cond Wednesday of June next, as a fit and
proper day for the assembly of such Con
vention.
The following gentlemen were, on mo
tion, appointed by the chair a committee
to nominate delegates to said convention,
viz :
R. 11. Griffix, John Bilbo,
A. J. C. Shaav, Col.T. Verstille.
Dr. J. P. Screven,
The Committee reported the following
gentlemen as Delegates :
Hon. THOS. PURSE,
Hon. JOHN W. ANDERSON,
Col. GEO. P. HARRISON,
Which nomination was unanimously
confirmed. The Committee of Five were
authorized to fill any vacancy that might
occur in the Delegation.
We notice that our Savannah friends
prefer to call themselves the “Democratic
Party.” While wc prefer the “ Southern
Rights” appellation as more expressive of
the character and objects ofthe party, we
shall not quarrel with names. The meet
ing in Savannah was called to make oppo
sition to the submissionists, to put down a
political organization which, u ider the
lead of Mr Cobb, has made haste to con
sent to the degradation ofthe South, by an
nouncing in advance, “come and take us
—make your demands and we will sur
render. “A rose by any other name would
smell as sweetand it is not very impor
tant what men call themselves, provided
they maintain Southern Rights principles.
It is enough for all true men that they are
the foes of Union Submissionism. This
term of “Unionism” is a broad mantle and
covers birds of many feathers. Win. H.
Seward has lately been uttering “union”
sentiments in the most orthodox style of
twaddle. Between him and a Georgia un
ionist, there, is not more than a hair’s
breadth of difference. They are both for
union under abolition aggression on the
rights ofthe South
BRAVO I
The Savannah Republican, one ofthe
“ Georgia Platform” organs, publishes the
resolutions recently adopted by the Legis
lature of Ohio in ‘-egard to the Fugitive
Slave law, and also the Massachusetts bill
on the same subject, and makes these com
ments : m *
“ We shall not stop to comment at this
time on these manifestations of northern
hostility to the fugitive law. They indi
cate a degree of hostility which every
friend of his county cannot but deplore ;
but so long as itdoes'not assume the form
of resistance to the law, it amount to but
little. The moment, however, those States
lay violent hands upon the law, they touch
a chord that will vibrate throughout the
length and breadth of the South, strength
ening the arm and nerving the heart tor
the practical and, if need be, the forcible
assertion of her rights.
So far as Georgia is concerned, she has
taken her position. She has declared
through her convention:
“That it is the deliberate opinion of this
convention, that upon the faithful execu
tion of the fugitive slave law, by the propir
authorities, depends the preservation of our
much-beloved Union.”
She further declared through the same
convention, that “the repeal or material
modification” of that law by Congress
“will and ought to be resisted even to a
disruption of every tie that binds her to the
Union.” This is what Georgia has sol
emnly said, and it is what she means. It
remains therefore for “the proper author
ities,” for the General Government, to see
that this law is faithfully executed. In the
meantime, Georgia will remain firm in
her loyalty *o the Union, whatever north
ern rebellious States may resolve or enact.
If they should go so as to offer forcible re
sistance to the execution ot the law, and
it shall be found that “the proper authori
ties” cannot or will not enforce it, she will
then proceed to exact and maintain tier
own violated rights at whatever costs. The
whole question rests with the North, and
there we leave it.”
Bravo! we say. We hail this sample
of the “fire of the flint” from a “constitu
tional union submission” quarter. Hold
on in that course, Messrs. Editors, and ere
long, you will be as good “fire-eaters” as
anybody. But iu the meantime, does the
Republican think, that Georgia can mani
fest her earnest of these vengeful senti
■ meats by electing as her Govern >r, a
! man, who of all others is most responsible
for a series of legislative acts, whicli in
j the opinion of even the Union party, cast. 1 ?
the union “on the hazzarl of the die,” of
the faithful execution of the fugitive law!
In other words, can the abolitionists be
frightened from the nefarious work of
driving the South to a revolution of the
Government, by empty words of menace
i —and those, from a party that has submit
! ted once before ! Our own opinion is, that
j it is a case in which the “ tufts of grass”
have failed, and Georgia should try wl at
•‘virtue there is in stone-.” The danger
of disunion is greatly augmented by the
triumphs of submission in the Southern
States. Fear, and fear alone—fear of dis
solution —fear of a loss of Southern trade
—fear of the grass that will grow in the
streets.of the Northern commercial cities,
now the thorough-fares of 150 millions of
Southern trade, in theevent of dissolution,
is the only argument worth a straw to com
bat the phren2y of Abolitionism at the
North. Give the Southern Rights men the
power in the Southern States, and there is
hope of rallying the true conservatives of
the North, to check and roll back Fanati
! cism. Give it to the submissionists, and
Seward and Garrison and Cos, will have it
i all their own way at the North. There is
j no mistake about this; and what is very
1 alarming to some folks, the people are
beginning to take this view of the case. —
It was Southern submission that has
brought the South to its present pass of
degradation—to her knees in the dust. If
submission continues to “rule the hour”
it wjll bring the mouth of the South to the
dqst. Resistance to aggression is a patri
otic duty. There is little difference in
“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.”

Another Sign.—The New York Daily

racy has been discontinued for want of

rights ofthe South, struck its flag, just as
the Silver Grays of the Whigs, have
given way to the Seward Woolly Heads.

THE “MODUS OPERAND!”
Mr. Forsyth: —The “ Washington cor- ;
respondent of the Journal of Commerce,” j
who is believed to he an officer of the Gen
eral Government, thus shadows forth the
course of that Government tn the event of
secession by South Carolina; speaking j
of what the PresidetT, Mr Webster, Gen ;
Scott, Mr Clay, and Mr Cass would do ; j
he says, “ Col Hayue honestly shows his
• hand. The parties above named will ’ j
‘ show him a game worth two of his. South ’ j
‘ Carolina may secede to-morrow, and I ’ :
‘will undertake to say, that the move- ’ j
‘ ment will, in no way, be noticed by the ’ j
‘ United States Government, except by ’ :
‘ the withdrawal ofthe U. States military ’
- force from Fort Moultrie, and the plac- ’
1 ing of a United States steam vessel in ’
‘ the harbors of Charleston, Beaufort and
‘ St. Helena to collect the revenue.”
Let us see how this step, on the part of
the Federal Goyernment would work
j practically. South Carolina, if she se
cedes, will of course, along with her act
[of secession, declare her ports free. Her
own vessels and the vessels of the
other States to and I rum the ports of this
country would go out and come in as usual
without molestation from the aforesaid
steam vessel. The first vessel then in all
probability that would fall under their no
tice and give them action would be a
British ship laden with foreign goods,
which are subject to pay duties iu this
country. The officer of the steamer be
ing instructed not to recognize South Caro
lina as out of the Union, would be bound
to demand payment of these duties ofthe
captain of this British or other foreign ves
sel. The captain would of course refuse,
because he would claim the right to enter
a free port of an independent State without
the payment of any duties, ami he would
naturally enough wish to go to a market
i that was 30 per cent better than any ofthe
1 adjoining markets. The U States float
ing custom house would then be bound to
seize and carry ii some friendly port
North, the refractory Bri ish vessel, and
thus would bring about a war, not between
South Carolina and the United State, but
between the United States (North) and
Great Britain, France, Germany “and the
rest of mankind.” For all foreign nations
I would have an equal interest in coming
to a free port at the South, having a rail
road that opened to them the trade of six
millions of people.
ALTERAM PARTEM.
{£7= We find this paragraph going the
rounds of our exchanges:
“ At a Democratic supper at Washing
ton. the probabilities of South Carolina
seceding from the Union being under dis
cussion, one of the party, celebrated as a
shrewd politician in the country, offered
the following sentiment: “The best com
missioners to South Carolina—The Union
of the Union and the Press— The election
of Douglass and Hunter, President and
Vice President of the United States.”—
The toast was drank three times three,
with the wildest enthusiasm. Among those
present, the editors of the Southern Press,
Fisher and DeLeon, also Major Donelson,
the new editor ol the Union.
Now it is only nec \ssary to say that,
there is scarcely a word of truth in this
statement, an., the color given to the inci
dent is entirely and intentionally false.
The facts upon which this gross falsifi
cation was founded, were simply these :
Haifa dozen gentlemen, (among them the
editors referred to) happened accidentally
to meet one afternoon at the hotel, and
adjourned to the room of a common friend,
to take a glass of Champagne. One ot
the number sportively proposed the toast,
as a playful sally at the expense of the
editors, which was promptly amended by
the express addition of “and 36.30,” before
all drank it.
The whole thing was meant and under
stood at the time as a mere joke, .intended
to go no farther—tor not even a member
of Congress, oranv one engaged in politi
cal life, was present, with the exception
of the editors. “The supper,” the “wild
est enthusiasm,” the “three times three,”
and the significance attached to the mat
ter, are therefore equally the coinage of
the brain of the prying and unprincipled
eaves-dropper, who must have originated
it.
The whole thing is ridiculous; but it
shows to what despicable meanness and
deliberate falsebcod our enemies will re
sort, to place us in a false position before
the Southern people.
Not a day passes that fabrications almost
as gross and shameless as this we have
exposed in relation to ourselves, do not
pass under our observation. IVe hold
them&their authors in too much contempt
ordinarily to contradict them ; and have
only noticed this, to prevent its producing
the impression which was evnlen'ly in
tended bv its cunning contriver.
Those prints which have given circula
tion to the falsehood, should in justice,
give the correction. —] Southern Press.

rien. Mr Stephens adot ts the amhitious i
motto, itur ad astra. lie aims his arrow? ‘
high, and if they do not gn'over the moon,
they are sure to go somewhere under it.
nhappily these rivajries furnish not only
comparisons, but contracts. And what con
trast can be more marked than that be
tween the pert intellect ofthe one. and the
matured and richly, stored mind qf, the
other—the pettifogger and the .jurist- 1 , the
mere partyisf, anff"the Statesman]- The
two are no more alike, than “Hyperion to
a satyr.”
But why (we put it to the people of
Georgia) should Judge .Berrien he. turned
out of'tlie Senate to make room for Mr Al
exander Hamilton Stephens] What.is the
deep offence of the-one and the lii*(h merit
ofthe other ] The one has manfully stood
up for the rights of his section in- a strug
gl” ot unparallelled interest and impor
tance; and the other has consented to,
helped make, and defended an “adjust
ment,” which is in our. opinion, infamous.
But, if otherwise, it certainly is not all
the South as entitled to. Well, Judge
Berrien’s offence then is, that lie contend
ed for a better bargain for the South than
the one Mr Stephens was willing to take.
Overzeal in the cause of lii.s constituent s is
the worst ease than can be made out
against Judge Berrien. And is it come to j
this that a public servant is to he punished, !
broken of his office, cashiered and brand- i
ed by his people, because he was a zeal- I
ous advocate of tlieir rights! Why, the
State ot Virginia, with all her unnatural
and unworthy tendencies to submission
ism, sent hack her Senator Mason to his
seat, crowned by an extraordinary majori
ty vote, and he was an ultra Southern
Rights opponent ofthe compromise. The
Virginia Legislature although disagreeing
with Mr Mason in his views of the com
promise question, was not so lost to de
cency and honor as to disgrace a public
servant for zeal in the service of'tlie State.
Will the people of Georgia consent to the
degradation ot their Senator for a like rea
son! We say the honor of the State for
bi Is it. Let the people look to it in the
election of tlieir members to the State Leg
islature, that this stigma is not marked on
ihe escutcheon of Georgia.
THE GIRARD RAIL ROAD.
Two or three of the appointed meetings !
of the stockholders along the line of this
road have been had, and we are glad to
learn that our prediction is verified in
their unanimous decision to go ahead with
the work. Their zeal rises witli the emer
gency, and many offer to double their sub
scriptions to compensate lor the loss ofthe
bill before Congress. We have little doubt
that this will he the answer of all the
meetings successively to be held during
this month.
Meantime, ivc’ again call the attention
of this community to this subject. We
deem it an auspicious movement to bring
up before our citizens, the question of sub
scribing the $150,000 of city stock in the
Muscogee Road to the Girard Iload. We
are assured that this subscription will he
decisive of the fate of'.the road for the first
fitly miles ; and that done, the question of
its continuance to the hay of Mobile is set
tled beyond peradtenlure.
A more important railroad question has
never been submitted to our citizens.— j
This city is by no means “ou* ofthe woods”
of difficulty, ,n which her interests have
been entangled and endangered, by rival
projects in hands not friendly tc, or at
least careless of her advantage. The com
pletion of the Muscogee Railroad does
not relieve this city from the danger of
being isolated by rival improvements
above and below. The Georgia Road and
the roads in extension of it, will soon be
completed to Montgomery. On that side
Columbus is given the go by. Below us
there stands the terminusof a road at Ogle
thorpe, looking out west and south, and
abiding a fitting invitation from those in
terested, to pass us by, on that side, too,
en route for the gulf of Mexico. The G -
rard road will, and will alone place Col
umbus on a vantage ground, where no ri
valry can shake her solid prosperity.
The connection to Opelika is very de
sirable to our city. But, we believe it to
he minor in importance to the great work
that goes to tap the gulf of Mexico. It is
to be apprehended, that the Gulf road may
be swamped, or at least greatly put hack,
by the Opelika project. Tne Georgia
Road interest, has been anxious to make
this connection, just in proportion as the.
prospects of the Girard Road were bright.
While there was a good hope of getting the
land dona’ion from Congress, there was'a
great desire to connect with Columbus;
but that hill having failed, and the Girard
prospects a li*tie overcast, the desire to
connect lias oozed out ofthe ends ot Presi
dents and Director’s fingers.
We would caution our people against
sacrificing a greater for a lesser good.—.
We can afford to wait for the Opelika con
nection — we cannot do without the gulf
connection. Besides, build the latter, and
the former will build itself without aid of
ours. There are other interests that will
see to that.
We are aware there are difficulties in the
citv subscription we propose. The city
might object to exchange” (as a fiscal ope
ration) a certain for an uncertain stock.
The property holders ot the city might
make the same objection.
The Muscogee road might well object to
throwing $150,000 of their stock suddenly
on the market. But, still,’ the question is
important, the interest great. Small sa
crifices may be made to a great end. Cer
, tainlv, this subject is worth examination.

HINTS ABOUT BEDROOMS.
„ The small size and lowness of most
bedrooms, says Sir James Clarke, ren lers
them very insalubrious, and the case is
rendered worse by close windows and
thick curtains and hangings with which
the beds are often so carefully surrounded
as to prevent the possibility ot the air be
ing renewed. The consequence is that we
are breathing vitiated air during the great
er part of tlie night, that is’ during more
than a third part of our lives ; and thus the
period of repose which is necessary for
the ret.ovation ot our mental and bodily
vigor becomes a source of disease. Sleep
‘under such oircumstancesisvery often dis
turbed and always much less refreshing
than when enjoyed in a well ventilated
apartment. It.oiten happens indeed, that
such repose instead of being followed by
renovated strength and activity, is suc
ceeded by a degree of heaviness and lan
guor which is not overcome until the per
son has been some time in a purer atmos
phere. Nor is this the only evil atisjug
from sleeping in an
ment. When it is known that the’blood
undergoes most important changes in its
ciiculation through the lungs by means of
the air which we'breathe, and that these
vital changes can only he effected by the
respiration ol pure air it will be easily un
derstood how the health} - functions of the
lungs must be retarded by inhaling, for
many successive hours, tlie vitiated air of
our bedrooms, and how the health must he
as effectually destroyed by respiring im
pure air as by living on unwholesome or
innutritious food.
In the case of children and young.per
sons, predisposed to consumption, it is of
still more urgent consequence that they
should breathe pure air by'night as well
as by day, by securing a continual renew
al of the air in their nurseries, schools,
&e. Let a mother who has been made
anxious by the sickly looks of .her chil
dren, go Irom pure air into their bed room
in the morning, before a door.qr a window
has been opened, and remark’ the state of
the atmosphere, the close, oppressive, and
i ften fetid odor of the room, and she may
cease to wonder at tlie sickly aspect of her
children. ‘•'*
Ldt'her pay a similar visit, some time
after mean-* have been taken, by the chim
ney ventilator orotherwise, to secure a full
supply and continual renewal ol the air
m their bed rooms during the night, and
she will lie able to account for the more
healthy appearance of her children, which
is sure'to he the consequence of supplying
them with pure air to breathe. —Sir J.

DIVIDE AND CONQUES.
Tyrints in all ag-s. have ruled and en
slaved the people bv dividing them, and
using one parly against the other, Philip,
the King ol Macedonia, enslaved Greece
by bulling her ora’ors, and those orators
gut up a sin ng party in favor of Philip
among lie* Greeks, (las not the policy of
Philip been practical towards the south ?
Have iii.t some of nur.orators been bribed
to get up a strong Fillmore parly in Geor
gia ! By bribing, we mean any induce
ments given or promised by the Adminis
tration, by “Inch < ur Statesmen and ora
tors are made to desert the cause ol tin
south, and to enlist under the bannerol
her oppressors. L-’ every man that is
tu t determined to close his eyes against
t’ e truth, even when it siare* him in the
face, look abroad and see who are the spe
cial favorites of the present administration.
Are they not the very men tvho have pro
ved recreant to the cause of Georgia and
the south 1 For example, let us examine
the conduct of Mr. Thus Butler Kina.
He was used as an instrument of the ex
ecutive, to induce the peopie of California
to form a State Constitution, by which the
whole of that immense country has been
closed against the property and institutions
of the south. For this act of perfidy to
the south, he has lately been rewarded by
President Fillmore with a very important
and lucrative office. It has been announ
ced in the. northern papers, that the Con
sulship at Havana was put by the Presi
dent at the disposal of Mr Toombs and
Stephens, and they have given it to Mr.
Owen! These appointments speak Vol
umes, bull they are notail. Who is the
favorite candidate of the present Whig ad
ministration of Georgia ? Is it not one
who has frequently been denounced in the
Whig papers in Georgia, as a traitor to the
I NUMBER 17
south, and who, they said, had purchased
the office of Speaker by base subserviency
to the Freesoilers ! Again, what newspi
pers in Georgia receive the Valuabe pat
ronage of the administration? Are thev
not those who are continually abusing the
friends of the south—who are now stri
ving to build up a Fillmore party in the
State, and who are always ready to fawn
upon, <,nil flatter Messrs. Fillmore and
Webster ? It is not surprising that there
should be a Fillmore and Webster | arty
in Georgia, when we see how well these
men reward their followers. Nor is it sur
prising that Georgia should be betrayed,
while she continues to elect men to impor
tant offices, who change their principles
whenever it suits their interest. Some ul
our orators and politicians have already re
ceived their reward Ir an this administra
tion. Many more are stimulated by the
hope of favors hereafter. Let us mark
the e men, an I if possible, prevent their
designs. The people see, and feel, and
know, that they have been basely betray* and,
and sacrificed, tor the benefit of a few pol
iticians, ami yet our betrayers talk abroad
in our midst, and with brazen fronts, de
mand a monopoly of ihe pnncipal offices.
Let those who have sold themselves to
Millard Fillmore, look to him for their re
ward. But I t the people of Georgia be
stow their favors upon those who will serve i
them will) honesty and fidelity. Let Mr.
Fillmore lake those that he has paid for,
they’ belong to him—:be peoj la of Georgia
can very well spare them. Georgians have
been accustomed since the revolution, to
choose their own Governors, And they
will tell .Mr Fillmore that they want no
rulers sent from Washington to govern
them, and least of all, sucn rulers as he
has sent them. —JHbany Patriot.

REMEDIES.
W copy an article from the Albany Ga.
Patriot, discussing the question of remedies
W e have full faith in the editor’s devotion
to tiie South, and have had occasion often
to notice the friendliness of his hearing to
ward this State. Moreover we desire as far
as po sible,to put our readers m possesion
of every honest suggestion bearing on toe
subject ol State action, and trust that no ar
gument emanating from a sincere attach
merit to their cause will be rejected with,
out a hearing.
The Pairii t lays down (he grounds of
action lairiy, and with no disposition to
soften the character • I past aggressions, or
to conceal the active tendency of the
Federal Government, in the hands of the
Northern majority, towards the disorgan
isation and ruin of the South. It is main
tained that without any measures of re
dress, carried out by the authority of the
States, til-re is no hope of safely, since the
present movement of things unchecked,
either the Union will fall inio anarchy, or
the South will be swallowed up by the
swelling tide of Freesoilism.
In the statement of the question, then,
we fully agree with the editor of the Pat
riot, and we also agree with him in main
taining that State action affords the only
hope of successful resistance to the grow
ing advancing danger. But he proposes
State action within the Union, and would
appeal to the interests of the North, by a
discriminating tax upon their productions
win n offered for sale in the Stale, and
combined with that, a systematic sup
port of direct trade with foreign nations.
By reference to his article the reader will
see the form in which he proposes to car
ry this out,’ and the Consequences which
he anticipates from its adoption.
We bebeve it is t durably well settled
that a State may tav the products of an
other State, when offered for sale within
her limits ; and our well established law
concerning hawkers and pedlars, may be
taken as proof, that by a license system,
the trade of other Stales could be subjected
to any restrictions that might be thought
proper. The legal question is not alto
gether without its embarrassments, but
enough has been settled lo serve as a very
good foundation for a measure that would
probably answer the purpose of excluding
the products of States with which it was
desirable tci cutoff intercourse. The Gov
ernor of Virginia pressed upon the Legis
lature of that State the policy of such a
law, but Virginia preferred to redress her
grievances by biting her thumb at Vcr
mont. A similar proposition was brought
before the North Carolina Legislature at
its last session, bin failed to be enacted.
We hardly know whether these failures
are tube attributed to supposed inherent
and Ificulties in the way of carrying out
such a ‘aw, or to the abandonment by those
States of all thoughts of redress.
But in the present form proposed by the
editor t f the Patriot, this remedy of a dis
ciiminating tax would never do. To be of
any value, it must he directed, not against
.individual Stat-s, chargeable with this or
that particular misdeed, but against the
whole north chargeable withMthe grand of
fence of so conducting the affairs of the
Union that the Fedeial Government has
ceased to he anything bpt the instrument
of one section to tyrannize over the other,
and the South has been robbed of every
cons itutional guaranty of hrr safety. To
lake any less broad view ot the question
of redress, is to ir.fle with it, —it is to over
look the disease preying up* ti the vitals,
and exhaust ingenuity in medicating the
svmpt fns on the extremities. The reme
dy, whatever it is must go to the seat of
the disease, and if that is beyond cure,
then let us bury t: e patient, and he done
with it.
Nothing is gained unless the South can
be restored to security under the Constitu
tion. This is not effected by a compromise
making promises to day that will he repu
diated to-morrow; it can only he done by
guaranties that will deliver the South from
the protection of her enemies, by giving
her the power to protect herself.—This
proposed remedy of taxation, to he of any
value, must be directed against the whole
North, and must have for its object, not the
wreaking of resentment against particular
States, but the recovery from the North
of what they have taken Irom us—our
equality in the Coufeder <cv, and the secu
rity of our property and social institutions.
Unless we can regain this, we talk idly in
talking about redress within the Union.
We have above considered the proposed
remedy with reference to its political ob
jects. The commercial objects equally de
mand that it should be a comprehensive
and stable measure, subject to no modi
fication for slight reasons, or by any au
thority less than that which should enact
it. Commerce coule nottake root in so un
substantial a soil as the editor of the Pat
riot proposes for the foundation of the tax
ing l<iw. It would shrmkjfrom enterprises
that depended for success on the discretion
of the Governor, or the legislation of other
Stales. It would demand that a system
should be established, and a promise held
out, not subject to contingencies. With
these conditions we do not object to the
trial of such a law, if it shall ttu et the ap
proval of the State; but at the same time;
