Tho question is one now of graver import und worthy the attention of fracmen. N< party ‘cohfldkrifntfnf* should lifff* the true and loyal sons of the South to pursue a policy at war with her interests and compromi sing of her dignity an 1 self-respect. Brave, Afbua and free, glorying in-hei own freedom and love of truth, never having violated tho compact and with spirit suflVeiunt to resist it* encroach ment hy others, she meets the issue presented by the election of Lincoln, ami assamt* all iho re-. spoDaihiiity which attaches t < her iiceuliar, yet proud position. Were tb question between tho two sections one of immediate and sudden growth, were it one unanticipated by tho people from it.* novel and singular character ; were it one, which did not luvoive material issues, then u sense ot forbearsnee and a love of justice would unimute the Routh to look upou it us an idle chimera, and pass it by without a iuonisut a study. Not n , however. The flame Ims bcn kindling for yenr* —the spirit of animosity und bitter bate it us be come more in ulerauf—justice and equality have less hold upon the mass of the North, und finally, the Constitution has been violated, while its form remains, hy the consummation of a wicked pur- pose in the probable election of Lincoln. It be comes the Ronth in the hoar of her humiliation, to act wisely and prudently, aud to protect her self while she has the power. Wo counsel a sep aration from tba Union. We verily believe it is the day and the hour to art. It is no time for freemen to be timid from an over-cautious con servatism and a dread of danger. The first is tha parent of wrong aud injustice, and tho latter is the soul of weakness. If tho Routh is true te herself, she will be an independent nation before the army ami navy aad the departments of tbu Government, are in the hands of those whose on ly conscience in protecting slavery i* la tbeir want of power to annihilate it? not by an overt act, but by carrying gradually into execution, their designs . by building up a free noil party in OMrm'dst, by creating a aerrtinicnt iu behalf of ‘•freedom by appealing to the cupidity of the people, and driving negro labor from corupMitioa with white labor ; by bringing the patronage of the General Government to further their wicked purposes by circumventing slavery, hy resisting its expansion, hy interdicting the slave trade, by denying its protection, and in a word by abol ishing it, when the public sentiment of the North riptn* sufficiently and might becomes right. The The Routh has now the power. Cotton is King -it is the peace-maker. Kite is lupepondcuf of the world; site can take care of herscif. Her honor is precious—her son* are true, and though the priee or liberty, equality and equal petvilegea should be the blood of her cititans, she would pay it rather than accept the alternation of disgrace and humiliation.

What couree Ibo Douglas Democrats will pursue ia the coming Msstan is not under stood, anil probably not well considered vr deter miued by themselves. Whether they will unite and act with either of the other two parties, or form a separate organisation of their own and wait for events, does not seem to buie been di*. cußsed or derided In view of tho total vote es their Presidential candidates and tho very small vote they ure likely to obtain in tho Southern States ami especially in Georgia, wo would tain hope that they will reunite with their lata politi cal frieuds, adopt the Southern Rights platform und principles us the friend* of Breckinridgo and Lane, and go with thut party in any and every |ina of policy which patriotism may dictate, and which the probable overwhelming triumph of the Northern AUdltionista will render it necessary to the salvation, ns well as the honor of tho South to take.

Tho first asks an opinion ns to the rii/ir of a State to accede from the Union, without qualification, and without reference to any contingency. The Enquirer answer* that th© right ot a State fco secede, in the event of a lihek Hepullican administration is “a revolu tionary right the uatnral right to throw off by form- a Government too oppressive to be longer endured.” In our preface to the above questions wc stated that the term “revolution” was one of various meanings, and wo worded tho first quo*- tion, as above, expressly to avoid any ambiguity in the reply. As th© Enquirer ha* not given a direct affirmative or negative response to our question, we should be glad to know whether it regards this “revolutionary right” as none other than that which aeititen ha* to rebel against hi* Htate Government or which a stave ha* to rite against hi master.

It is to be told in a few words and is based upon conscience. Asa conservative man, lam compelled to re main firm to that standard of “Southern Rights” which y wirtviqjsod two years und mere ago. I sue no reason for forsaking it. Our orators, speakers and platforms, from thjit day until the meeting of the Opposition CofiVention ut our Capital to nominate delegates to Baltimore, arc all recorded in tho history of the country, and all breutbo alike the true spirit of a firm main to nance of tho right* of our State und section, and that too without any mixture of doubt or uncer tainty.

I cannot, as aconsdencious man, “abdicate/’ Jlow tlfcn, I ask uiy brethren of tho Opposition, can I g* before the country and advocate the election of a mirm candidate with a doubtful ri rord, as showed by the u< tiuri of half a dozen of our an ti Conventions, to say notlilng of a ihoumnd Democratic authorities ?
