Fellow-Citizens of the South: One of yourselves,— born among you— bred among you—dwelling amongyou,— and holding an humble, but common share withyou, in tho South's rights or wrongs, prosperity or adversity,—in all does, or has, or hopes fur, and who, in common with you, must prosper or suffer, and stand <>r fall \t itli her, —presumes to hold counsel with you,up, n the present gloomy aspect of Iter interest and destinies. Having no great name of his own to give weight to what he says.— he must, as aforetime, borrow that of another, over which you haveofen hon ored him with you audience,on matters of eminent public concern, in times gone by. Over that nondc plume,he has lately been proffering respectful counsel in your behalf to so grave a personage as the Chief Ma. gistrafe of the Union, and even now,he j puts aside Iris unfinished “ Randollph Epis tics'" that he may hold closer and weightier : communion with vou. Fe low-Southerners!—the long agony in Congress is over, and the struggle is past! The North is triumphant —and your native South has been utterly routed in the contest, —and is here, helplessly prostrate and trampled upon! Faithful and intrepid minorities in both Houses,stood by her to last,— and kept outnumbering hosts at hay, —andwould finally have vanquished them; but Southern desertion augmenting their forces, inspiriting their courage.—in ser ried phalanx and with overwhelming odd*, they charged once mote, and all was lost! liu even a victory so thorough as this, — could not sufficiently humiliate and dis grace the South, —without a public tri umph and exultation over her! According ly, from the slave-soil of the District—and within ear-shot of Washington's tomb,an 101 salutatory guns announced this mem orable jubilee over the prostrate rights and foit tines of his Native Land—while illu minations and bonfires, and rockets and joyous minstrelsy .give light and zest to the celebration, and oh! incredible reality!— I here were Southern members of Congress wh > sanctioned and shared in these exult ing mockeries over t ight,justice, equality, and their own native South. And mote than this! The bruit goes, that no less than eight if the aspirants to the Presidency— five of them Democrats and thtee of them Whigs—four of them Northerners and four of them Southerners—namely, Messrs. Webster, Cass, Dickinson, and Douglas, from the North and Messrs. Clay, Hilliard, Cobh, and Houston, from the South, made night and the thoroughfares 1 fWashingion boisterous and eloquent with their gratula lions upon this glorious achievement! Let the renowned occasion and these exultant exploits,men of the South! sink deep down into your hearts,and carve it in your mem otiti#*, —should ever in coming years, a man among them, claim the South’s elec torial help towards their National promo tion ! If any thing could enhance the in dignation and ire wi'h which every South ern patriot must contemplate revels and rejoicings over such oppressive and wiongfu! successes as these,—it would he tho paper huzzas and vivas—with which hose Southern journals, the Union, Intelli gencer and Republic, nourished arid en tidied as they have been, through South ern patronage) have hailed, recounted and applauded tho passage of these baleful measures, and these greeting gratulations over them. But let as pass from these ex asperating memories in quest of what there be in these extraordinary proceedings of Congress, of such advantage to the South in fruition or in promise,—that Southerners should have supported or that Southerners should have rejoiced in them ! i A vast majority of your legislatures, j with Virginia in the lead, passed resolu- MACON, (GA..) SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 89, ISSO. tion last winter, —didn’t they!—that the people of these States respectively, would not submit to “ the II r ilmot Proviso, or any kindred measure' but would resist the same “ at all huvards and to every extremity." — They had no objections to “the Wilmot Proviso nor any kindred measure” had theyifurther than lothe aim and tendencies of either, to deprive their citizent of lhei r equal rights in common with the citizens of the Free Slates, to migrate with their property to any portions of the territory acquited from Mexico, None whatever. It was not then against themcre name of the wilmot Proviso, that so grave anil im posing a menace was aimed, —was it l Most certainly not. ’1 hen it was the deprivation of their citixens of their equal tights in these Territories, which they would not submit to—and would resolu tely resist, “at all hazards and to the last extremity, ’—whtever the mcasur, or what ever the name through which, thatdepriva tion should by effected, —was it not so ? Exactly and to certainty;—and for that veiy reason, arid “to make assurance dou l>!\ sure, and for no other purpose what ever, they employed tho alternative lan guage of "any kink red measure;’’ —which any mersure must be, that would deprive them of the rights they asserted to he theiis, and which they professed to protect God help the recreant and dastard State, w hich should have sullied her escutcheon with & braggart's menace, by now “eating her own words,” and recoiling from her position in defence of her rights, and un der the cowardly equivoque, that though equally bereft of her rights under the pro cess resorted to, as if it had been the Pro viso itself, yet that the form of words, through which the bereavement was me menaced, though substantially was not tee]mica /y the same ! Foil! That might do for vaporing Massachusetts,—but such shuffling paltroonery will never brand with its disgraces, (may Heaven forfend the shame!) ntiy of the sovereign com munities dwelling South of .Mason and Dixon’s line ! But passing from this, and w e are at once reminded, that Congress has taken final action upon all the terri tory acquired from Mexico, and it was a bout the disposition which was to he made thereof, that a'l the Stale Resolutions had referr ence, and this at once brings us to THE RESULTS. What is certain is, that the Wilmot Proviso itself is note in full force and opera, lien throughout California, from the32dto the 42d degree of Not lit Latitude,and that this act has been wholly consummated through the action of Congress, and that Southerners ore excluded entirely, abso lutely and tor aye, from migrating and settling there with their property ! We h ave the high authority of Messrs. Clay, Cass and Webster—the first the ori ginator,and all the zealous and ablest sup. porters of these measures, for stating, that the principles of the Wilmot Proviso, in the form of a Mexican interdiction of slavery, is now in full force and operation in these Territories, respectively,as nownr ganized by law, —and explicitly recogni zed and adopted as such by Congress itsef in its repeated iefusals, —to abrogate such Mexican laws,— or to empower the Territorial Legislatures to give po'icc protection to slave property, or to prohibit them from Legislating to aholtsliurexclude slave property thither, should the Judicial Powerdetermine that the Mexican anti slavery laws had not survived the cession in the Territories ceded. It is certain , that tho Slate of Calif >rnia thus admitted into the Union, and the Territories of Utah and New Mexico thus organized covers and includes every acre of the Territory which was acquired by Treaty from Mexico ! It is ccrain, that through the action of Congress, the Scuth has been entirely and forever deprived of even a foothold with her property, upon the least portion, North or South, of these extensive and opulent domains, and is forbidden even to partake with her slaves, of the millions, which Foreigners from all parts of the earth and seas with theirs {\A\epcons of Mexico and South America and the coolies of India) have been permitted, (by those who call themselves our Brethren, God ht/p us !) to spoliate and enticli themselves from the public treasures, —which, by every right which can confer title among men of Na tions,—by Conquest and by Purchase, by the shedding of blond and the lavishing of treasure, and upon every principle of Justice, Equallity and the Constitution, is and ought to b’ as much ours as theirs! j But our t ights and privileges, domains and | treasures are all taken from us by Our Brethren,— passed over to the use and thrift ol Foreigners, —and to amounts reach ing already, (says common report) to the w hoie am mt of the nominal purchase— money (613,000,000) which was proffered and accepted for the whole acquisition!— But he this as it may. It is certain, that the North has appro priated to herself and free soil—, destitu ted and excluded the South forever, from every foot of California, Utah and New Mexico, —from their dominion and their domain, — their culture and their trea sure ! Ihe South pays three-fourths, the North oxe-fourth on the Mexican War-debt. 1 This would seem the utmost height and tne whole extent to which oppression and j wrong could reach or would dare;—hut it is neither all, nor the worst, — ami fills far short of tho reality. An $100,000,000 of the debt we contracted to prosecute the war against Mexico, (and which of course is the proper measure of what these Ter ritories have cost us,) remains unpaid,— But you are ready to ask, what furtlit# interest can the South have in that, —in- asmuch as the Free States having appro priated the whole acquisition to themselves, —they will of course pay the whole balance of the outstanding debt. Never in your lives were you the victims of a grosser mistake.— With the despotism of numbers your task-masters demand of you your full share of these 6100,000,000 of indebt edness, for which you vvi I not have receiv ed a dollar’s worth of consideration! And what think you, will your share be] If the Federal revenues were c Heeled through direct taxation, under the con stitutional ratio of Federal numbers,— (taxing three-fifths of slaves) the North’s share of tho amount would he three-fifths, or 600,000,000 —consequently the South’s share two-fifths or $40,000,000: —(an a moun quite large enough to pays for no- thing !) hut the revenues being collected through the Cust ims, —more than rever ses the apportionment of indetbedness he tween North and South upon the basis of Federal numberrs; for with the revenue so collected,the North will have to pay one-fourth or $25,000,000 of the amount while the South must pay t !i e residue of three-fourths, or 675.000,000 of this Mexi can War debt, —and reap nothing of the fruits,—save the memories she retains of chivalrous honor and those surpassing ex ploits of her braves, —which have given her name to history and renown, and of which, neither detraction nor oppression, can defraud or deprive her! This will seem incredible to the mass of you I know, —but it inevitably tesults from the princi. pie and the fact that the consumers pay the revenue collected through tho Customs, — as well as vast amounts besides, in com missions, fieights, exchanges, &c.—and that Southern consumption fit Foreign fa brics and products, (not on the Free List,) bear just that proportion to Northern con sumption of the same articles, and the ex cess of the compaiative consumption, is fully and safely attested,though the excess in values of the South’s over the North's exports, —which pays for excessin the cm. sumption of the imports. But to make this surer, — I resort to the Appendix of that admirable pamphlet, entitled “The Union Past and Future,” by Muscoe Hunter Garnett, esq, —and give you an estimu'e which he has drawn from the Treasury Reports themselves:— Taking the four years ending Juno 30. 1845, and the gross amount of duties col lected at the customs amounted to SOS,- 125,349. Os this amount upon the ratio of their exports, the South paid $76,700,- 000, and the North sl9,4&s,349—■■where, as, if the same gross amount of revenue had been collected through direct taxation, and on the principle of Federal number s the South would have paid less than half that it paid through the customs, say but $37,849,356, while the North would have paid treble, to wit: $58,275,993, showing a difference against tho South through the mode of collection, of just $38,850,- 644, which was both iniquitous and op pressive; yet Mr. Webster was so disin genuous and insincere, as to lavish his praises on tho free States some years ago, for their forbearance and liberality in not taxing three-fifths of the slaves, well know ing at the time, that that forbearance and liberality were rewarded, by a saving of more than thirty three and a thirdpercentum to the North, by taxing the South through the customs instead of her slaves! The Pubi.ic Domain and Gold Mines escheated to California. But through a remarkable piece of good fortune, the discovery, of extensive and seemingly inexhaustible deposits in gold dust and other forms of bullion, it was apparantly of but trifling consequence, upon which section the payment of the war-debt chiefly devolved,—for in the depths of these unexplored treasures, not only did rapid and thorough reimburse ment seem sure and near, hut the day seemed hard by, when the citizens of all the States were to he dispensed witii their contributions in support of Government, and have a large superflux from tho pla cers and the mines, to meet all the reason able wants of the States, for public educa tion, general improvements, bcc. ; but now, alas! through precipitate and bungling legislation, both the domain and the trea sure are irretrievably lost to the States, and California takes all! For more than a century past, lias the public code of the world proclaimed as the law, that when sovereignly was conferred upon any peo ple, all the rights of eminent and useful domain passed with it as its muniment, unless the same had been reserved, thro’ a public Act to which such poople had nc ceeded, bfore they were seized of the sovereignty which proclaimed them a State. This is more emphatically the case with anew State entering into our Federation,— for the Coustitution while recognizing the tight of this Government to hold public domain for all purposes within a Territory specially restricts the holding it in a State to the inumerato uses of “forts, magazines, arsenals, dock yards, and other needful buildings,”—and hence if Congress admits a State into the Union, before disposing of the public domain within i-s borders, or without obtaining an ordinance of relinquishment from her, pi ior to her admission, the domain passes with the sovereignty, and riot even a right of sufferance over it remains. Such was the opinion of our fathers before tho Union was formed, —for a special clause in the Ordinance of 1787,expressly protected the public domain in the North Western Ter ritory from escheat, by constituting the Ordinance a compact to which the States that were to he formed out of it, must as sent before their admission inti the Union, and thus relinquish all title or claim to the public lands within their borders; and up on this principle, and with this precaution, lias every Congress that has been conven ed since the foundation of the Government until now, affirmed the necessity of enact ing from the new States formed out of the public domains, ordinances of relinquish ment, prior to admiting them into the U nion, and why l No reason can he as signed for it, — but that in the opinions of all these Congresses, by the conversion of a Federeal Territory into a Sovereign State, without such a compact, the title to the useful as well as the eminent domain, would pass as a muniment of the Sover eignty conferred by the act of admission, for the Federal title lapsing for the want of reservation, —the useful domain would ne cesssarily escheat to the commonwealth of a State for the want of an owner. The present Congress w’as seasonably warned, and through the most- unanswerable de monstrations from Senator Soule and others, that such would he the inevitable consequences; and that the domain and treasures < f California would be irretriva hly lost to us, unless she was sent back to her Convention, to execute the Ordinance, before her admission into the Union ; hut, alasforthe country! an inexorable majority fired with a raving Inst ts dominion,—and fearing, that through a returning sense of justice* there might he a reduction of her limits, giving access to the South below the line of 36° 30', —in desperate haste, it rushed madly on,—and risking all, has lost all! California enters tiif, Union uncon stitutionally, AND IS SEIZED OF THE. Public Domain as of Right. As to the jejune and impotent attempt to impose a condition of admission upon California, to which she has never assented, and of which she knows nothing, —and contained in the same act of Con gress which makes and receives her as a sovereign State into the Union, (where,in common with the co-Siates, she may ac cept or reject at her own pleasure, any proposals made to her touching the dispo sitiou of her property already her own) —it could only be regarded as arrant tri fling, and the trashy product of a trashy mind were it not for the solemn admis sion it imports, that in the opinion of Con gress, the act of admission, necessarily and ex vi termini includes all the rights of domain within the borders of anew State which are not specially reserved by an act to which the Federal Government and the new State were parties, at the time that the act of admission took effect! And when was that ? The Ist section of the act of Congress informs us: “Be it enacted, Sfc., That the State of California he and she is hereby admitted into the Union, upon an equal footing with the original States «•*» at! respects what- And when did that act become the law of the land ? Last Monday, (September 11th, 1850) when it received the Presi dent’s signature and was returned to the Senate. If you want more practical proof, —Lo ! see there! in the Senate and in the House, sit California’s Senators and Re presentatives, and invested with all the rights and powers which other members fi om other States have ami enjoy ! Then, she’s a sovereign State in the Union!— es ! The moment she became such, and lo mstanti therewith did the public domain within her borders escheat to her. for the want of capacity its this Government to hold them longer, without a relinquish ment, and against her consent! And, what has become of the condition of ad mission ? Why, California will not even have beard of it, until she has been a State in the Union for many weeks time, and when she hears of it, she will also hear, that she has been the absolute owner of that very domain from the moment she was admitted into the Union as a State! She may relinquish it then,undoubtedly,that is if she chooses, and if she should not, who could force her out of the Union for a breach of the condition I Who ever heard before of a condition binding any body, until it was made known and assent ed to by the party charged with its per formance ? Whoever heard before of a compact between sovereignties, depen dent upon the petformances t>f a prece dent condition, being executed by the par ty to whom the performance was due, be fore the other party was aware, that any condition had been named? AVho but a fanatical Free Soiler intent upon the'fraud of despoiling the South, would not have l knotvn that a waiver of the precedent performance of a precedent condition, was equally n waiver of the condition itself? But could the condition have been binding at all, then would the section I have quo ted, have borne an unblushing falsehood upon its face, in declaring that California was admitted “upon on equal footing with th e original States, in all respects whatev er,” while here was a condition onerous to her, which had clogged the admission of neither of them! NUMBER 33. T his duplicity in phraseology seems rather peculiar to the realms of the West; for even so ripe a scholar as General Cass, has spoiled and blasted & compound word of very fair meaning, through the Janus-fa ced doctrine of Non Intervention. Du ring the canvass for the Presidency, tho South was made to believe that "non-inter vention" was to prevent the North from interfering, through Congress, to the over throw or prejudice of the South’s equal right la migrate with her property, into any portions of the ceded Territories; whereas, since the canvass, the South has been made to realize that non-intervention means—that it is the South who is not to intervene or encroach upon a single foot of these 1 erritories, to the ovctiluow or pre judice of tho North's paramount right to appropriate it.c trholii il«m •>»ln.U«ly to herself! At the Baltimore Convention in 1848, the friends of Mr. Buchanan of fered as 3 platform for the party, that old, smooth-trodden turnpike of 3G° 30’—but the fiends of Gen. Cass, outbid them an hundred fold, by proffering to the South the imposing Platform of Non-Interven tion, which w3B not only to secure her equal rights with the North in those Ter ritories South of thi rty-six degrees thirty minutes, hut north of it, and the General had the nomination by heavy odds! But, wo worth the day ! he lost the election and returned to the Senate, and there for the instruction and warning of mankind, (though absolved from all restraints by*he patriotic Legislature of Michigan, that he might do the South justice and give tho Union peace,)—behold him ! as another Delphic Oracle, with a fresh glossary for Non-intervention, utterly demolishing botli Mr. Buchanan’s platform and his own, —* and taking counsel of Messrs. Clay, Web ster and the Free Soilers,—stripping tho South of every vestige of her lights in the Territories, and devoting the whole of them to Free Soil and Free States,— to the total ruin of his party, and the final rupture of the Union ! There is grati tude for you men of the South ! If Gen. Cass had doubted the power of Congress originally to have established the line of the Missouri compromise, (as well he might) then should he have striven from tlie time that he doubted, to give the South all terri tory which she had been unconstitutionally deprived,— to wit: to all that is now lowa, Mitiesota, Oregon, Nebraska and North- West Territory, being about four fifths of the whole Slave Territory acquired thro' tho treaties of Louisiana and Florida : hut without budging an inch or even prof fering his counsel to induce Congress to re trace its steps,—to insist on his scruples and repudiate that line, when new territo ry has been acquired, and mainly from the South’s votes and contributions, and thus strip her of the whole, —is a senatorial revival of that dexterous morality of the McGregors, which graced the Scottish heaths in a past century, to Let him take who has the power, And lei him keep who can !
