COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,
THE CONFIDENTIAL ANSWER OF T.
TO THE CONFIDENTIAL LETTER OF
HOWELL COBB.
Vour Welcome letter is received,
From which I iearn that you are grieved,
From causes you half way assign,
To sonic imprudent step of mine,
I do confess, I see with terror
The consequences of my error.
But my apolojrv is this.
I thought ‘'that letter” not amiss,
And only leaked that I might sec
If others would with you agree,
Too late I saw I was mistaken.
And that a hornets nest was shaken.
1 then laughed at it as a jest,
It would not do—l lnd confessed,
••That Letter (> That Letter ’ ail
With unrelenting lungs would squall;
No use. your unheard friend discovers
To cry *;’/rlends countrymen and Ivvtrs
For when this far. a vocal burst
Arrests me *’ Oh that letter first”
I wait to catch the earliest pause,
Then add—“O/t hear me for my muse”
When others shriek “ aim you the Peter ”
■■That used to be a fire, eater ?
And here of course I leave the stand,
A fire-eater is at hand,
And with “ that letter ” he begins,
But soon takes up your other sins;
All listen, while he rolls thcrowell,
Along the. bleeding sides of Howell.
But do not fear th t I will flinch,
Or from our cause recede an inch,
With slugs from our battojy thrown,
HI crack away at Mae alone:
I'll make him feel if I should hit him,
As if a thunderbolt had split him.
When slugs are out, I’ll keep him hot,
With till the larger kinds ot shot.
When these are gone, why then indeed,
I'll fall back on the mustard seed;
For I’m first rate at the .emission,
Os this last sort of ammunition.
But Ilowell, think not that tny aid.
Comes from the hope of being paid,
I’m with you in the present tight,
Merely because it is not right,
And if successful, is the greater
Glory to the gladiator.
But if it should come in the way,
What is it you propose to pay?
A Governor’s appointments all,
You know are very poor and small,
And fulling far below tny notion,
Os what would be, a due’promotion.
I take it though, that what you meant,
Was that you might be President,
And I an invitation get,
To walk into the Cabinet,
Or do you promise on condition
Os our success, a foreign mission?
Be not so kind as Harrison.
And promise place to every one:
To eaclt who in your cause embarks;
Make but encouraging remarks;
But if you’d have my pen prolific.
With me, you must be more specific,
Do not suppose, that I believe.
You would a valued friend deceive,
Or charge that he was wrong to think,
A pledge intended by a wink;
For Congresss friends of abolition
Admit you stuck to the condition.
But we are counting ere they hatch,
Os chickens quite a lovely batch;
While Mac’s are out upon their legs,
We are but hunting up the eggs;
I hear while through the country going,
At every place, his chickens crowing.
Those words “wise liberal and just”
You ought to modify and must;
The people do not understand
Why they should give up all the land;
And show m<* by the plainest figures,
Tlie cost of getting back the niggers-
Cant we amend by adding thus
“As northern men could be to us’’
And wind up with a soft regret,
That “/was the best that we could get ” ?
Without amendment speaking freely,
Tis but the creed of Horace Greely.
Now Horace, would 1 know excuse,
A seeming difference of views,
Ifvou will let him know the fact,
That realh/ you have not tacked;
Tell him you are obliged to sweeten
The bait, or else ’twill not be eaten.
We run against the wind and tide,
Unless the north is on our side;
Audit will always be content,
To vote for you for President,
If {Southern rights, you'll let them whittle,
To nothing or to very little.
j Enough, I think for southern pride,
If into office we can ride.
And ns the cause in which she. delves,
Is hopeless, let us help ourselves;
All ready in mv upper story.
Are pictures of our coming glory.
But Howell, tip to our knees,
Down in the mud, like Hercules,
I We must .with shouts for public weal,
Shove at the Union waggon wheel;
For heavily the rain is falling,
And our bulky team is stalling.
Let us resolve, that at the worst,
We ll roll it up the hill or burst:
We’ll let Bob help, but nothing say
Specifically jus to pay:
He thought to use us. but we’ll show him.
When we’re elected, that we hunt/- him.
Dear friend, tis difficult to stop,
But here I’ll let the subject drop,
And, till again I hear from you.
Accept a trusting hearts’ adieu,
P. S. respecting what high station,
Muv l indulge a speculation?

Sans ceremonie, I write you, dear Bob.
Didn’t ve, or did ye, the night o’yere spache
At the'City Hall notice jist out ov the niche
Ov your wide-wavin arm, a wild Irish lad
That scramed like an Injin and wiut on like

For an ould chap forenst me spakes to me

“Wat’s the matther wid Bob—a leetle how

Eh?” “Ochl divil a bit darlin,” sez I to him.
“It’s a wav that he’s got —he speaks always

When they git him mad;” and sez I, “More’n
that,
A gent in Augustv that sliood ha bin flat
Ov his back long ago, to Bob's great surprise
Sits o’er on that bench —and he’s got his keen
eyes
Fastened plump upon Bob, and its nateral

Unliss a man’s made o’the bist Irish stuff
Like meself,” sez TANARUS, winkin, “to be summit

In the same kindly spirit I wrote in to Cobb,
Is meant to point out the waake points in your

And to give ye me aid in repairin the britches,
(You'll excuse me otnishun to put in French,
That murtherous jargon gives me tongue

WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 3, 1851.
It will be seen, by reference to the proceedings
of the Convention, on Monday last, that our fellow
citizens, George Pitts att. 1 Francis G. Wilkins, are
the chosen standard bearers of the Sonthern
Rights p<arty, in this county, iu the coming contest,
for the lower House of our Legislature. We con
gratulate our friends upon this selection, and assure
them, tiiat with the proper effort, such, as is de
manded by the cause in which we battle, these
gentlemen, will on the morning of the 7th Octo
ber next, put on the “robes of victory.”
THE CUBAN MEETING.
The call for a meeting of the friends of Cuban
independence, on Saturday evening, was respond
ed to by a very numerous and respectable body of
our citizens. At no time, have we witnessed snob
intense enthusiasm, as was exhibited by the audi
ence, during the addresses which were delivered
by the several speakers on tins occasion. Wheth
er the attention was called to the brutal butchery
of our brethren, by the Spanish authorities, or to
the vigilant, armed interference of the administra
tion, in behalf of despotism in Cuba, whether the
sjH-aker expressed sympathy for the struggling pa
triots, or reprobation of the reported conduct Os our
consul, throughout the assembly, there prevailed
an unbounded enthusiasm, which proclaims in un
mistakcablc language, that the heart of our peo
ple yet beats too true to liberty, and yearns to suc
cor the oppressed, whenever and wherever they
strike for independence.
The meeting was addressed by B. K. Harrison
Esq., of Stewart. Mr. J. C. Alford of Ala. and
nicssrs. M. J. Crawford and W. F. Williams of
this city.
These gentlemen all acquitted themselves with
great success—strongly imbued with the spirit of
the theme, their stirring appeals were warmly re
ceived by a sympathizing audience. The general
prevalence of such feeling, and the meeting of
such elements of indignation in many portions of
our State, will raise a storm ill Georgia, that shal]
sweep southward and leave, forever, the impress
of its desolation upon Spanish despotism.
[editorial correspondence.]
Marietta, Aug. 29, 1851.
The Journal & Messenger of Macon tusked
the ‘Times’ some questions, which it evident
ly thought were “posers” and pressed answers
with the assurance that its editors, the ] e >-
ple and “the rest of mankind” were exceed
ingly desirous to see them. We answered
them, when suddenly it was manifest that
the readers of the Journal & Messenger had
lost their anxiety to see them, for they have
not been given to them in the columns of
that paper, notwithstanding our earnest re
quest and banter to publish them. Instead of
gratifying its readers by supplying them with
what they were so very solicitous to see, that
paper makes an issue on a part of the an
swer, and calls on us to meet it. We shall
not take the trouble until those answers are
published, which his people were a little
while since, dying to see.
Mr. Cobb is trarnpoosing through the
Cherokee region, trying to harangue the peo
ple into the belief that they have received
full justice from this Government, and that
he, as their representative did not betray his
trust, and consent to a sacrifice of their rights.
He makes the same speech ho made in Col
umbus. He makes no new converts, but of
ten loses a Union titan, who cannot digest
his Federal readings ofthe Constitution.
He will carry this section of the State,
though not by the majorities his friends boast
of. If the cotton belt stands tip well to its
true interests, this vote of the up country can
be neutralized and McDonald elected. The
latter gains every day. lit spite of party,
many people must see that the contest is a
sectional one, and the subject matter is slave
ry. And o i such an issue, then can 1 e l.ut
two sides, the Northern and the Southern. —
Mr. Cobb is on the Northern side, and every
free soil vote in Georgia is soon to be polled
for him ; .and of these, there are many more
than is imagined. Wherever we go, we hear
that the non-slaveholders and the poor men,
tire constantly plied with the argument, that
this is a question which only concerns the
slaveholder, and will they give up this “glori
ous Union” to preserve property in which they
have no interest ? Here is the of an
abolition party. Our knowledge of human
nature instructs us, that there are the elc
ments of such a party in every Southern
Stiite. and that they have been kept out of
sight, only by public opinion and fear. The
present division of parties, in which one side
boldly takes .he part ofthe North in a purely
sectional issue, tends directly to develope
those latent elements: and 1 consider, the ve
ry worst feature of Mr. Cobb’s position and
course, is to be found in the consequences to
which I have alluded—to wit: in laying a
broad foundation for an abolition party, which
will at no distant day show itself and take a
stand as tin important element in political ev
ents. There is danger of this in nearly all
the Southern States. In North Carolina an
abolition meeting has been publicly held—l
know of a distinguished gentleman of the
mountains of Virginia who is actually mov
ing South, because his position in an aboli
tion neighborhood is disgusting to his South
ern feelings. Upper South Carolina, Geor
gia and Alabama, own but few slaves
and contain a population upon which
demagogues may and will operate in this wav.
In Kentucky we have seen an emancipation
candidate actually in the field and receiving
several thousand votes for Governor.
The duty and policy of slaveholders would
seem to be obvious from a view of
these alarming facts. The instincts of self
preservation and patriotism should teach them
a firm unioD and a bold front to make
head against influences which may ruin them,
drive them from their homes, desolate this
country, and leave the misguided poor man
and the freed negro to encounter the death
grapple for supremacy and life. For at last,
the poor man is to be the victim. The rich
can run away—fly from scenes which will
make a Hell on earth ; but the poor man will

be loft to an encounter which will open his
eyes to the wicked delusion that he is to be
benefitted by an annihilation of the competi
tion of slave labor. He will then find, that
it is slave labor that produces from the soil
the wealth of the South, and that in the dis
tribution of that wealth, he derives his share
in enhanced wages and abundant employ
ment
I have met many South Carolinians travel
ling in the up-country. They are unanimous
in the opinion, that the election of Cobb and
Foote, will be decisive of the action of Caro
lina. They take the view I have often urged
that Cobb's success will give a coup de grace
to the co-operation party: and that the State
will move with unanimity and solid col
umn in separate action. Asa secessionist, I
will not be sorry to see Cobb elected; while
I believe, if the Southern Rights Party
could get the complete control of three or
four Southern States, that they would be
able to enforce justice from the North
for the past, and save the Union. On this
subject, I have never had a doubt or misgiv
ing. Indeed, during the compromise discus
sions, Georgia alone, had the power to dic
tate .a just and equitable settlement. And
it is the sin of Cobb and the other submis
sionists from the South who were entrusted
with the cause ofthe South, and which cries
to Heaven aud to an outraged people forven
geanco. that with the power in their hands
they 1 s y made a truce, as dishonoring as it
was unjust. They threw w \ t'l t-pe rn of
great price” which they hid in secure keep
ing, had not ambition tempted them to sell it.
They bartered away the rights of their con
stituents, when fidelity and courage on their
part would have immortalized themselves as
patriots, saved their section from degradation
and the Union from a blow which sooner or
later will destroy it. I cannot contemplate
the conduct of these men, otherwise, than
with disgust. There is no solution to their
conduct, but ambition. What meant all the
p aer .about compromise ? What need had
the South of a compromisel What did the
South demand of the Government and her
sister States, but. what she was clearly enti
tled to? And why should Southern rtqtre
sentatives, h tiding as their* constituents di ,
the very life-blood of the commerce,wealth &
prosperity of this whole country, find it ne
cessary to yield a jot of right, when they
knew that the North would yield, not only
that, but a great deal more to preserve a
Union that is prolific of wealth a”d welfare
to them. It was a cowardly surrender—it
was ti wanton and uncalled for surrender. It
was the base betrayal of a whole people, and
a pure sacrifice of honor, duty, and interest to
the National aspirations of a few heartless
demagogues. And now, according, to sub
mission boastings, the people of Georgia, are
about to pass upon these acts, and heap
honors on their betrayers. My poor country!
How bitterly humiliating will it be, to hear
the scornful laugh of the Northern fanatical
crew, when they shall witness the self-con
demning act of our own people; recording
not only their submission to wrong, but their
fol'y and stultification in rejoicing over their
wrongs and crowding with their honors, tl e
men who have betrayed them. Abolitionism
may well rejoice and say—these people are
our easy victims: they have not the virtue to
defend their rights, nor the sense to know
where they are attacked. But my pen is out
running your space. F.
MR. HILLIARD.
In his speech on Friday night, to which we
have already referred, he commenced by ex
pressing the hope, that inasmuch, as the
questions he was .about to discuss, were not
confined to the limits of Alabama, his appear
ance would not be deemed an intrusion—S:*l
that he was opposed to sectional politics,—
loved the whole country, even Now Hamp
shire and Vermont. To till this we saw no
objection if it was according to his taste, but
concluded that if he was even n little sound
upon the Southern question, and this fact
was known in those States and others ofthe
same cast, his love was not reciprocated.
The next position assumed by him which
we have space to notice, was that the late ad
justment left the South upon higher ground
respecting slavery, thau it had occupied for
thirty years. His arguments in support of
this position, were, such as have been urged
a thousand times in the newspapers and on
the stump & nothing more, and therefore, need
not be specially referred to. Ile admitted that
he had made a.speech in congress against the
admission of California as a State, upon Gen.
Taylors plan, because, according to that plan,
no disposition for the present, was to be made
of the territories of Utah and New Mexico:
but that Mr. Fillmore’s pi in compensated for
his objection to the admission of California
with her free-snil constitution, in providing
territorial governments- for Utah and New
Mexico He insisted in another part of his
argument, that w hen the people of a territory
organized, as California had done, and formed
a constitution prohibiting or not prohibiting
slavery, congress was hound to admit them as
a state; seeing to it, that the constitution was
republican in its character.
We leave it to the especial friends of Mr.
Hilliard to say, whether so far, he is not fair
ly presented.
Reader: still keeping your eye upon the
argument and admission of Mr. Hilliard, that
California with a republican constitution in
her hand, prohibiting or not prohibiting slave
ry, had a right to demand admission, Con
gress of course had no right to refuse. But
lo! Mr. Hilliard tells you himself, that he
made a speech against her admission . Why
did he do it does he say ? Because she did
not have the requisite amount of population ?
No! Because her constitution was not re
publican ? No! Because her constitution
contained a clause inhibiting slavery ? No!
But because the bill authorizing the admission
of California, as a State, did not dispose of the
Territories rs Utah and New Mexico. We
| NUMBER 30
trust, in kindness trust, that Mr. Hilliard is
not yet so far gone, that when acting under
oath as a Legislator ,this was an answer,
sufficient to satisfy his conscience, with his
views of the right of California to admission.
What had she to do with Utah and New
Mexico? He had just as much right to say
to California “I will vote for your admission,
when Congres grants to the Mobile and Gi
rard Rail Road, certain lands along the route.
California had as much to do with the one as
with the other.
Taking no pleasure in holding any one as
clever as Mr. Hilliard, iu a painful as well as
an awkard position, we will allow’ him to
shift it; to say that the grounds which he says
he occupied in his Congressional speech
against the admission of California, were not
the real ones upon which his objection rested;
~ilnd that he was opposed to the measure be
cause it was a scheme of the North to cheat
and rob the South, by excluding slaveholders
from the Territory of California until it
could be filled up with Northern people op
posed to the institution of slavery, what them
is the compensation which he admits he ac
cepted for the South in consideration of her
exclusion from California ? The establish
ment of Territorial governments for Utah and
New Mexico and the dismemberment of Texas.
While singing the praises of Mr. Fillmore,
he denounced Mr. l’olk, a Southern man , for
signing the Oregon territorial bill containing
the Wilmot Proviso—knowing well that he
did so, solely in consideration of the Missouri
compromise line, & under protest, & that he would
have vetoed any bill, applying any proviso to the
territory, below that line; & knowing also, that Mr.
Fillmore would have sanctioned any bill, applying
it to any, or all of the territories, acquired from
Mexico aud Texas. Add to this the fact, that Mr
Hilliard, on the 24th day of July 1848, made a
long, labored and elegant speech, against Mr.
Polk, and the exercise of the veto power gsnerally
Add again, to this, that in the same speech he ad
vocated the extension of the Missouri Compromise
line, through the territories acquired from Mexico,
and the friends of Mr. Hilliard, have a glaring
picture of a good man, distorted mid conscious—
wrecked by drawing in the traces, assigned him,
by mere party organization.
According to Mr. Hilliard's ow n position,
if the Mexican law against slavery, in those
territories remains unrepealed, which he seem
ed indisposed to deny; Southern men can
carry’ their slaves there in safety', as soon as
the people of those territories shall pass laics to
establish slavery.
Now the people of any of the free States,
can just as easily pass laws establishing slave
rv as can the people of those territories ; that
is, when their respective majorities are in fa
vor of it.
Mr. Hilliard was violent against the Wil
mot proviso by name, and equally’ as violent
in the advocacy of all the principles of its very
essence. For he advocates the admission of
California with all her unfitness in several
other respects for admission, but with a clause
in her constitution (higher than law') exclud
ing the real owmers of the soil from the en
joyment of it, in consideration of their ex
clusion also, from the territories of Utah and
New Mexico, until the people now upon
them, and those from the North to w'hom
alone the door is open, all opposed to slavery
shall divest themselves of their prejudices
and vote to establish it.
According to the best showing that. Mr
Hilliard can make the difference between the
Wilmot proviso and the late adjustment is
justthis. Thefirstwould exclude slavery from
the territories until they should become slave
States, and then they would establish slave
ry if they should choose to do so. The oth
er has already done so permanently in
California or until the people choose to alter
their Constitution—and in the territories of
Utah and New Me :ico until the free soil pop
ulation on them, shall pass laws establishing
slavery. Mr. Hilliard’s defence of the
dismemberment of Texas was too fu
gitive to be caught without an expendi
ture of words, as great as that in money, ne
cessary to success under the fugitive law.—
He diil not even allude to the ten millions
which the South mainly paid, in considera
tion of the loss of territory.
With a hop, skip and a jump, he passed ov
er the abolition of the slave trade in the dis
trict of Columbia and passed on into ecsta
sies over the fugitive slave law and the glori
ous Union. He seemed to be familiar with
the “masked battery.”
In the same speech Mr. Hilliard said, (speaking
against the Clayton Compromise,) “I object again,
to this compromise, because it is no settlement of
the question; and again, (speaking in reference, to
what might be the decision of the’ Supreme Court,
as to the existence of the Mexican law against
slavery,) he says, “But if the decision should be
favorable to the North, as it is almost universally
eonceded it would be, how could we face our con
stituents, after having given our support to a bill,
which surrendered the very rights, we were ex
pected to guard
Hero it is scon that lie planted himself, iqxin
the ground, that he would oppose every measure,
that did not provide for a settlement of the ques
tion, and that the Mexican law was of force. Os
course then, he looks upon the Late adjustment, as
a settlement of the question, with the Mexican
laWj in force in the territories referred to—and
Mr. Hilliard lias learned how to face his constitu
ents, “after having given his support to a bill, which
surrendered the very rights, he was expected to
guard.” But when he sees the deformity, and
monstrosity of his apology for the ruinous and de
graded surrender, thus exposed, he will give loud,
and hasty expression, to an afterthought, and ex
claim, “oh! it is not such a settlement as will pre
vent ns from applying to the people of those terri
tories, to repeal the Mexican law against slaverv
and if they should do so, the southern people can
then go there with their property.
Yes Mr. Hilliard, we can get into California, and
Vermont, with our slaves in the same way.
MR. COBB AND THE DISTRICT OF CO
LUMBIA
The act of Congress, to emancipate slaves in the
District of Columbia, one of the glorious compro
mise acta!!! is justified and defended, by Mr.
Cobb, upon the ground first, that the emancipa-
tion feature of the aot, is taken from the Law Os
Maryland, and secondly, because the State of
Georgia, in the exercise of an unquestioned power,
prohibited the introduction of slaves into a m*
State, for sale under certain and con
clude* his very abort notice of thra destructive
measure, by saying, that there, was but one f&s*
in the District on the subject. V V
The reasoning is this, that bedkßee Maryland
may rightfully exercise the power of aholiahinfl
slavery within her limits, and Georgia prohibit tbs
introduction of slaves ithin her limits, therefore,
Congress may* rightfully exercise the same pow
within tlie District of Columbia. This view of tbs
powers of Congress is in perfect accordance with
the old Federal construction of the constitution,
but has only recently found supporters in Georgia.
Mr. Cobb, however, and Mr. Johnson and others
of the Constitutional Union Party, have been drl
ven by their |>arty affiliations to sustain it.
M e hold that a State, while in the Union, can
rightfully exercise every power, and authority, not
expressly delegated by her own sovereign aot, to
her agent, the Federal government, tliat among
these reserved, or undelegated powers, is that of
legislating upon the property of her citizens.—
Therefore, a State, if it be the will of her people,
may abolish slavery within her jurisdiction, or pro
hibit the introduction of any species of property,
within her limits.
We hold, further, that Congress has no origi
nal, self existing “power—that the Federal govern
ment can do nothing, except the power is express
ly delegateel te> it, by the States. Tliat the power to
abolish slavery or emancipate slaves as a penalty up
on the slave holder, lias never been delegated by the
Stab's to Congress, and that the exercise of such a
power is an unauthorized assumption on tho part
of Congress, and a violation of the constitution.
We hold that tlie States never supposed they
were delegating this important, distinct and sub
stantive power, of abolishing slavery in tho district
of Columbia, when they authorized Congress to ex
ercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatever, in
the District of Columbia, and over all places, pur
chased for forts, magazines, ar enals, dock yard*
and other needful buildings in all the Stages.
We hold that “in all cases whatever,” in whioh
Congress could constitutionally legislate, that the
power to legislate should be exclusive. If other
wise, and the power to legislate for the places men
tioned, be unlimited, then Mr. Johnson’s doctrine
is true, that Congress may ereet a monarchy over
the territories, or the United States.
If it be true, then Congress in the exercise of
the powers “to make all laws, which shall be nec
essary and proper for carrying into exeoution the
foregoing powers,” might judge it. necessary and
proper to abolish slavery in tlie State of Georgia,
for the purpose of enabling them to execute the
power of abolishing it at. the forts jand arsenals, at
Savannah and Augusta. Do not say that these
arguments are strange, or far fetched, Abolition,
ists,fanatics and extreme party men, as our expe
rience aud observation show us, will never st'ckl*
at the exercise of a power, even upon the most
violent construction, wlien r they can gratify thair
feelings, or accomplish their purposes.
Rather let us distrust the honesty of Southern
men who become their apologist*.

The Gubernatorial Contests in Georgia
—Another Blow at the Union Party*—
The Gardner Claim
Letters have just been received from
Georgia from compromise men, in which
they express the fear that Howell Cobb,
their candidate, will be defeated by his
opponent for the office of Governor,
General McDonald. Two months age
his prospects were bright and flattering,
but the entrance ofthe Fillmore whigs
of New York into Governor Seward’s
house, through the back door, has dis
gusted the Union men of Georgia, and
lei them to believe that the great Castla
Garden Union outshoot wasa mere me
teor, intended to dazzle and blind but
for the moment. We now find that the
South will be less inclined than ever to
credit mere Northern professions. The
fact is, there hasbeentoo much humbug
practised by hunker politicians; and the
people, apart from them, must be look
ed into the hour of trial to sustain the
constitution.
It is well known that Howell Cobb sus
tains the compromise measures of the
last Congress, and that Governor Mc-
Donald opposes them. However, the
latter is opposed to separate secession
by the Slate of South Carolina; but, on
a recent occasion, he said, **a large
number of people in other States, who
think with Carolina,thatthe wrongs ofthe
government are scarcely endurable, are
unwilling to resort to so strong a meas
ure of resistance. Is it not a matter
well worthy to be considered by S. Caro
lina whether it isnot bestto deler to the
opinions of her sister States, equally
wronged with herself, and whose sym
pathy she has, and not proceed, separ
ately and alone, to a measure of at least
questionable expediency? If the hopes
of other States are realized, and tho
Government returns to a due respect
for the rights of the South, and a faith
ful administration of the constitution, I
most respectfully ask if it is not better
to remain as we are, a united people?—
I think so, decidedly; for all we want is
a faithful administration ofthe
tinn, It will give us all our rights.—
I confess that my fears are that those
hopes are without solid foundation. But
it is a matter that time must decide, and
a decision will soon be made. If made
against the constitutional rights of our
people, we shall be as one man, in any
measure necessary to the safety and hap
piness of all havingacommon interest,”
This is the ground on which not only
General Me Donald, but all the South
erners stand.

LOPEZ’S MOVEMENTS,
Eds. Delta : I take the liberty of sub
mitting the following for your perusal,
hoping it may be thought worthy of in
sertion.
Gen. Lopez, it is alleged, abandoned
Col Crittenden’s command. It strikes me
the following is as probable a conclu
sion to come to, in the absence of cer
tainty, as any yet urged.
Gen. Lopez leaves Col. Crittenden
with a rear guard and baggage escort,
of 114 picked men, at the point of de
barkation, himself advancing to Las Po~
zas, which he occupies, and sends means
of transportation, or wagons, to his rear
guard. On the 13th he engages the troops
drives them in, andsendsan order to the
escort to join him without delay, and to
hurry up. Lopez leaves in or near Las
Pozas his wounded, fully persuaded that
Crittenden’s command, when ad vanning,
would take along his wounded with the
baggage, and takes up march for the
mountains, but by some means he finds
his rear guard is endangered, his bag
gage likely to be lost, and what does he
then do 1 Save himself by the forced
marches to the mountains! No such
thing. He abandons the advantages he
has stolen from the Spanish commander
in a day’s march in advance, —he re
turns to Las Pozas, —he advances to re
lieve his rear guard, and to bring them
off, —he has another engagement with
the royal troops, now reinforced by
800 fresh forces and artilley.-beats them
back to Cayajolas, about half way be
tween Las Pozas and the walls of Ha
