J TIIK ANATOMY OK SECTIONALISM. tlon BY A GEORGIAN. Will not you, tbe People of the Domi- nfitiog Section, give audience to the complaint of a citizen of the Oppressed Section, who craves an Imparlance, and asks yon to make pause, after so long a time, and listen, that we may reason to gether? We have that to say which near ly concerns us, certainly, and which we be lieve to be not unworthy of your attention, also. There is ground, we believe, even now, iu the pr»«aat aspect of affairs, for serious consideration—a new reckoning —and perhaps a ohauge of the general course and modo of procedure of the Government. This is, at ull eveutf, a proper time to take a large and general view of the Sit uation, not uurrowed by party feeling, nor limited by previous commitment to a policy which is certainly not infallible, and may bo wrong. The issues we pro pose to discuss are real and alive—the living, breathing questions of the age, and the very day—practical, timely, con crete. We say then to you, candidly, that we of the Oppressed Section have been in troduced into, and are living under now circumstances, which aro no improve ment on the old ; that, on the con trary. they ore for less favorable than the old, both to public prosperity and to public and private virtue. From good government, honestly administered, we have been transferred to misgovern- ment and mismanagement, so injurious and onerous, that no just conception of their operation can be conveyed or con ceived, unless by actually living under them, and seeing them in detail. We have known whal good govern ment is, and educated to enjoy it; and oar experience of the past qualifies us to appreciate the present s‘ate of affairs. Your men of virtue and morality little dream of the change yon have wrought here. You have done this deed un »it- tingly, and been led by degrees, point by point, into courses and methods which you did not contemplate at the outset. But we assure you that those methods have, as a matter of fact, subverted on a grand scale, the very foundations of pub lic virtue, and are now sapping those also of private morals, and reducing their standard to the same lowered level. Nor have we entered upon this new career entirely without warning. From tho earliest times, its probablo conse quences were foreseen. OPINIONS OF THE FATHERS. Sectional rule was ever regarded by the fathers and fouudera of the Republic, as incomparably tbe most dangerous rock which threatened the safety of the people of the United States. Accordingly, the Constitution was framed with express reference to avoiding it It was the last act of Washington to warn bis country men of this specific and feaiful danger. When, in the case of the Missouri Re striction, the first serious sectional dif ficulty arose, Jefferson declared him self alarmed as by a fire bell in the night And sneb, during our whole biatory, has been the view of our wioest statesmen, who best understood and most desired tbe welfare of the country. In all this— were they right or wrong ? Are these views less true now than of old ? Now, especially, that the light of experience has been added, does it contradict, or does it corroborate their anticipations? Experience has but confirmed, and made them trebly strong. We propose to dis cuss this geneial subject with judicial oalmness. to oppretut is regarded us a most sacred right, of origin nearly, if not quite, Di vine. PEOPLE ENSLAVE The very able article by A Georyian iu our columns to day, cannot fail deeply to interest a very large cirele of our read ers. It is from the pen of oue oi the most erudite of the sons of the State, and one of the profoundeHt thinkers of the age. The appeal is addressed particularly to the people of the Northern States but it has much in it that the people of the Southern States may well study, with both interest and profit We com mend it to the special attention of all. A. H. 8. Its Inflame* on ths Doiutnntlnff Scc- tloa, ths Oppressed Section, and the Country at Large. What was thought of It by the Fath ers, aad what has beeu Verified aad made Intensely Clear by Bxperlei Its Effect upon Public and Prlrate Morals—upon the Stability and Per manent Welfhre of the Conntry. Comparison of Sectional Hole with Forctfa Domination, with Hcllgtons Persecution, and the Odium Theolo- glcnm, with Class Legislation, 'and with Personal Slavery. The Constitution changed from a For. tress agalast Foreign Aggression Into a Prison House for Domtitlc Tyrai —Misconception, Ignorance and Preju dice Invested with Authority—Influ ence without Interest or Sympathy- Power without Responsibility — The Sum of all Mlsgovernineut, full of Evils and Aggravations* oreal Interest of the Dominating Sec tion Promoted—To the Oppressed Sec tion, Wrongs, not Rights, Secured— Worse than all External Danger Combined. A Candid Expostulation and Appeal for Peace and Good Governmentt for Pub lic Virtue, and a Return to Sound Principles and Honest Admlnlatra- OOMFARISON WISH FOREIGN DOMINATION. In wbat respect, doe* Sectional UtUe differ from Foreign Domination ? Prin cipally to II* disadvantage, in this, that, like hatred among brethren, it is usually more bitter, more Orea d in policy, and more adverse in feeling. The very Constitution intended to pro- tot from foreign foe*, become, a wall to enolo—- tha ono section for moro con venient persecution by the.other, lu ■tola simply to prevent escape. And the confidence of tbe majority to their right to oppreea is (raster than in a strict- ly/oNto domination; for the vary at tempt to aac*P* i* treason, and tha right Sectional government impede, on it, victims many of the evils of personal slavery, without its compensations. It is the enslavement of a people, by con tinued force uud arms. There is a mas ter aud a slave, after some sort, but lest of sympathy between them than in the same relation between individuals. An enslaved section is iu un evil case. Nor is the enslaved 8ectiou of our couutry of a race adapted to the institution. To hold it in bondage aud oppress it may not l>e so regarded by those who do the act; but it is in very deed a crime!—a crime, we say, of Uuge proportions— agaiust God aud man—against nature aud law—agaiust your fathers and year brethren. It is usurpation—the assump tion of powers aud responsibilities with out right, and without fitness for their discharge. Tne definition of tyranny,being power, without responsibility or fitness, this exists iu its fullest extent and most odi ous form, iu a Sectional government Let us proceed to consider some of the particulars. WANT OF INFORMATION. No people ever understood another people; no section another section. It is said, “one half of the world knows not how the other half lives." This was intended to apply to neighbors and the people of the same country. D.tt those “imperfect sympathies” which exist be tween individuals, widen vastly uuiong peoples. Their actual intercourse and means of intercourse are much less tlmu among individuals. A small number only of any people has any actual acquaint ance or opportunity of acquaintance, in regard to another people, with that educa tion by surrounding circumstances which moulds the character of men and States. Mutual misapprehensions prevail, and mutuul suspicions. They cannot do each other justioe if they would; they can not govern each other wisely, with per fect parity of motive and sincerity of aim. They necessarily misjudge each other, and that on a grand scale. Mean while, the means to rectify error and the motives to its rectification are alike small. HECTIC .(AL COMPARED WITH CLASS LEGIS LATION. Sectioual legislation is far worse than mere class legislation—odious as that has been ever regarded. In the latter case, accommodation to the law, or combina tion against it, are easier, and the evil effects more visible to the authors of the evil. When parties divide npon matters of general and not local concern, the action of either partyaffectsthe whole country alike. Men differ os to policy, but fihare results; all parts are benefitted, or all injured. But when they divide section- ally, with broodor diversity of views, there is no community of interest. The majority section has influence without its proper counterpart,interest; the minority section, interest without influence. This severance is the very essence of Tyranny, of which Taxation, without representa tion,~is ttnly one of the Protean forms. It ia a Hydra with many other beads. Iujleed, a sectional ‘government to spe cifically the most odious and aggravated form which Tyranny can assume. A single tyrant can be approached— appealed to—appeased. He has weakness es—he has favorites—he must die, and will huve a successor; but a tyrannical section is inaccessible—deaf—unfeel ing as a stone. Sufficient intercourse to correct fulsn impressions is simply impossible in tho nature of things.— Hopeless task, to enlighten ignorance not based upon evidence, and to reform action founded on prejudice. No charm er can reach tho cur dull as death to tes timony or to appeul. The rancor of or dinary partisan strife is abated by pei * * ' * * * i. Men sonal intercourse and friendships. Mem bers of different parties are neighbors— they are friouds- -often kinsmen—but these relations do not exist iu the sec tional division of parties. The Majori ty section is destitute of knowledge, sympathy or community of interest with the opprec oppressed minority. An Emperor or a Despot may regard one of his depen dencies with pride; but the dependency of a sectional majority is the victim of a soulless machinery, uutouchcd by any living affection, ai.d actuated only by cupidity and prejudice, OF NO PRACTICAL BENEFIT, and bad os are its consequences, it sub serves no countervailing good purposes. Wbat interest have I in governing Mas sachusetts? What have you, that Mis sissippi or Florida should be shockingly ill-governed? What relations have we to be preserved—what points of contact be tween us? What interest, information, facilities for information? IIow or why should / go out of my sphere of sensible aud practical action, to govern you, at so remote a distanco from my range of knowledge and sympatheis, of tastes and feeling, of knowledge of facts and prin ciples, and of suitableness to circum stances? Foreigners do not know these things, and seotions are foreign to each other. Few peoples are fit to govern themftelves, with all the lights they possess sa to their own wants, and all the checks they re ceive when their mistakes find them out. Self-government, even under the most favorable conditions, is no easy matter. Rut interference oat of the lance of knowledge and interest leads only to mischief. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE. The desiro to compel men even to do the trill a/ God, leads simply to religious persecution. Desire to make our fellow men do the will of men~</oowr tray,leads only to usurpation and tyranny. It has oot half even of the plausibility of perse cution for opinion's Hake—a doctrine now universally abandoned in theory, ut least (unhappily not in practice) and consider ed indefensible. THE REAL OBJECT OF CONSOLIDATION. The gigantic strides towards consolida tion of the government made by force and fraud within the past few yearn, show if the” both the wisdom of the Fathers, and our folly. And be it ever remembered that Consolidation is in order to Sectional Rule. That is its specific aim and object. It ia to exert iofluenoe where they have no business and no interest, that men design to centralize the government. AGGRAVATIONS And Sectional Rule, when, and however attained, in rampant and restless. It ia not ordinary party rage, but revolntioh- S fury r»\her, acknowledging no limi- one—sweeping everything before it, castiug off restraint, poasenhiug all the terrible energies of mob law, and all its miaguided and untamed paaaiona without evon the Right of the Bufferings of its victims. Tho maaa concentrated, unopposed, and rushing all one way- individuals struggle, rival, emulate each other, aud tho torrent becomes perfectly intolerant of reason from without or within. The result must be iuexpres sible wickedness aud tyranny. WORSE THAN ALL FOREIGN DANGERS. We tell you that suoh a government is worse than all Foreign dangers. Wrongs are secured to us—not rights. Our chief danger lies in our protectors. We need protection from our protectors more than from all the world besides. The dangers from all other quarters are as nothing when compared to those from our usurp ing sectional allies. After our first great struggle, our need for:combination—re mote as we were from powerful neighbors —was less than that of most of the States of Europe. Our danger was rather of domestic misrule. Thu formidable dan ger,coming from withig,surpasses all dan ger that can come from without. A dominant section, infta self-confidence and vain glory, is woat to disregard all restraining influenced. The principle that all just governmtfit is founded on the consent of the governed—Consti tutional obligations—the principles of humanity—all the bonds of civilization- are as straws in the way of its arrogant aud imperious mere trill. Opposition only beems to vex and enrage it; argu ment is worse than wasted. If a good feeling arises among the dominant peo ple, born of nature or sympathy, there ire not wanting those who rebuke it If it arises among the oppressed, those who (with more exouse) cry, shame upon it And so it is that mutual dislike and sus picion are kept np. SOLID FOUNDATIONS. It is on suoh strong foundations of plain common sense aud human expe rience, that the judicious and earnest warnings of our Fathers against section al rule, rest. The rights of local self- government; what arg usually called, iu brief, States rights; sfe based on no vis ionary ideas—on no mere figments of the imagination, but on honest term firma— on Just views of himan, nature aud the teaohings of history. OUGHT THESE THINGS TO OO ON ? We put the case to any honest aud true man at the North: Can yon oonoeive of a form of Tyranny more odious? If your .people were tho viotims of suoh a sectional tyranny, would you submit to it, if you could help yourselves ? Do you desire to perpefcuito it ? Wag it your object, in tho war, to subjeot the South to such tyrannical usurpation ? No suoh object having been avowed, ought it now to be put into effect? If you would harmonize the country, it must be on the basis of justice aud equality. Else will not our subjection be what yours would be, and what that of any people deserving to be free ought to be—sullen? Tho perpetuation of the present mode of administering the Gov ernment is worse than any ohaDge in its form, or iu tbe extent of territory it covers. Not justice, but to justice, is a war breeder. Yonbayt no real interest to op press us; all your interest lies iu tho com mon prosperity. Plunder, the only plau sible reason, holds not. It is no more your interest, Umb 7onr business, to op press us. Will you extinguish all hope of patriot ism tbe most sincere, and make loyalty a by-word and roproaoh—tho symbol of willing and accepted servitude ? We have been speaking of Principles. It remnins now to speak of Facts. The experiment of sectional administration has been tried npon a grand scale. The fruits of this Upas tree have ripened, aud aro subject to inspection and analy sis. Wrongs and evils have grown up, in comparison with which, the causes of tho first Revolution of '70, and the sec ond of '01, are as a pimple to a cancer. A brief roview of salient points of facto will require another number. WASHINGTON.

Hughes against horse racing, and the usual adjournment of Parlia ment for Derby day, which occurs to morrow. Gladstone moved that the Honse adjourn till Thursday. Hughes, on rising to oppose the mo tion, was received with ironical cheers aud laughter. lie pointed to the fact that the Honse adjourned only two hours, on Ascension Day, for divine worship, and now proposed to adjourn twenty- four hours for tho Derby. It was in compatible with the dignity of the Com mons to recognize hone-racing. Tho English race-courses had intro duced the most corrupt and insidious system of gambling wbicb had ever dis graced any country. While he was op- l>osed this species of amusement, he be lieved in manly sports, like international boat races, cricket and other salutary competitions of human strength and pluck, and thought they should be en couraged.
