THK UNION OF THE STATES, AND THE SUV EH Elll NTY HE THE STATES.
Tie Disregard us the Black KepuUian Pari) fur Law
It has been wall aud truly said that “ the law
is the concentrated majesty of tho voice of tho
people.” lie who violates a law, therefore, not
only insults, but commits an offence against the
people. Tn this flovornmont, especially, arc we
called upon to yield obedience to the laws. In
no othor way can tho llepublic oxist. Wo have
a written Constitution which our fathers made
and which wo must observe, if wo expect to pre
servo our liberty, our independence, and our
Union. That Constitution says:
” No person hold to sorvice or labor in one
State, under the laws thereof, escaping into anoth
er, shall* in consequence of any law or regula
tion therein, be discharged from such service or
labor, but shall ho delivered up on claim of the
party to whom vueh service or labor may bo due.”
Under this provision, tho Congress of 1793
passed, and Hen. Washington approved,a hill for
the rendition of fugitive slaves. In iB6O, Con
gress amended this bill insomosligbt particulars,
not altering its main features, or violating the
principlo of the Act of 1793. The man who re
fuses to yield obedience to tho Constitution and
this law. as well aa othor laws made under Its
authority, Is an enemy to his country.
Tho Constitution also established the Supremo
“Court as tho court of last resort, to interpret the
laws of the land, and makes its docisiou obliga-
tory upon every cltisen. Uo who, therefore, re
fuses to obey itx decision, is an enemy to his
country. This matter caunot bo dodged or eva
ded. luculcato in the minds of the people a dis
respect and contempt for tho laws and decisions
of the courts, and our Hoverumcut is destroyed,
und might takes tho place of right. Striko down
tho bulwarks of the laws and tho courts, and
where is the security for lift and property ? Hy
what title, then, would tho farmer hold his land,
the mechanic his tools, the uierehaut his goods?
Hy that title only which the mountain robber
of Scotland proclaimed, when bo said that while
one shock of grain remained, or cattle grazed on
low-land plain, the Haul, to mountain and hea
ther heir, with strong urtu will take his share.
How important it i* to every citizen that the
Constitution and the taws of the country, should
be observed and obeyed. The infraction of one
inevitably to the infraction of another.
It'ono man is Allowed to violate one law on the
gr<>und*tbut it conflicts with his ideas of duty
under a “higher law,” another man will violate I
another law on the sauio pretext, until no law I
will be observed, and al! the barriers which Gov
ernment has creeled for the preservation ofthe
lives aud property of its citizens will have been j
broken down, and tbe law of force will then be }
inaugurated. Is it not clear, then, that the man
who refuse* obedience to tho Constitution and j
laws of bis country is an enemy to the. Republic j
JuJgod by this standard, where at mid- the Rc j
publican party to-day.
We ituswer, their candidate for the presidency i
not only refuse* tuyicld obedience to tho deels
iou ofthe Supreme Court, but actually declares ;
his lu tqplion to disregard that decision. In hi !
Chicago speech, July 10, l£h&, he said:
j “If 1 were in Congress, and a vote should come j
up on a questinn whether slavery should be pro- j
hibited in anew Territory, in spite of the Dred
Seott decision, l would vote that it should.”
Having thus set the example of disobedience
t” the Supreme Court, it it uot strange that his i
subporters should runoff in the same channel. -
Mr. Hnmner advising resistance to the fugi- ‘
live star** mw in a m nvxmi, t>. {
said :
“The good eituon, a* lie reads tho require- I
incuts of this act (relative to fugitive slaves,) is j
tilled with horror. *
Here the path of dutv i* (dear. I am bound to \
disobey this act.” * * *
“ Sir, X will not dishonor this home us the
l’ilgrim.H, and of tho Revolution by admitting I
nay, I cannot believe that this bill ho executed j
here.*’
Again in the Senate of the United States, wo
sec him again reiterating his determination not
to obey the law. Mr. HutloV, of Smith Carolina,
a.-kod, “Ifwe repeal the fugitive slavolaw, will
Massachusetts execute the provision of the Con
stitution without any law of Congress ? Will
this honorable Senator [Mr. Sumner j tell me that
he will do it I'” To which Mr. Sumner replied :
“ I* thy MVtVnt a dog, that ho should do this
thing’” Mr. Duller continued. “Then you
would not obey the Constitution. Sir, standing
here before this tribunal, where you swore to
support it, you rise and tell me that you regard
it tbe office of a dog to enforce it. You staad in
toy presence as a co-equal senator, and tell uio
that it is a dog's office to execute the Constitu
tion of the United States?” To which Mr.Hum
tier said : “1 recognize no such obligation.”
-Thus, sir, tbe thriee execrable fugitive slave
law, with its catch-pole bevy of slave-hunting
commissioners and debuty marshals, bucouiss a
nullity and uuisancu--tbo villiunou* coucoction
of slave-holding usurpation and dough faced sub
serviency—*nd dissolve* like stubble before the
devouring fire.”
The Hon. Hidnt-y Dean, of Ohio, in his speed)
in the Ilouae, July 23, lHifl,gpoke iu the same
strain:
“Tho fugitive slave law is dead, it needs
must die, sir; the Christian men in the model
Republic will not be bloodhounds to catch men.
X tell gentlemen, in tho honest
convictions of my heart, that my constituents,
neither iu thought, word, nor deed, will ever ac
qucsce in thus branding our national charac
ter with infamy, and will nev r, for themselves,
be made the political or personal monstrosity in
Republicanism.”
On the 11th of March, 1 Hit), Senator Seward,
of New York, thus spoke in the Senate : •
“All that is just and sound; but ussutniug
the same premises- to wit: that all men ato
equal by the law of nature and of nations—tbe
right of property in slave! falls to the ground ,
for one who ■ equal lu itie other •unot bo tbo
owner or property of that other. But you ans
wer that the Constitution recognises property in
slaves. It would bo sufficient then, t reply, that
ibis Constitutional obligation must be void, be
cause it is repugnant to the law of nature and
nations.”
Again, in hi# Speech at Albany, New York,
Uotober 12, ISo-, .Mr. Seward said
“It is written intho Constitution of the United
Htatek, in violation of tbo divine law. that wo
shall surrender tbo fugitive alavo. You blush
not at these things because they are familiar as
house-hold words.”
Still again, in his speech in tbe Senate, March
1869, Mr. Reward thus assailed the Ifred Scott
derision and the Supreme Court:
“ The Supreme Court also can reverse its spu
rious judgment more easily than we can reconcile
the people to its usurpation.” “Tho
people of the United States never can, and they
never will, accept principles so unconstitutional
and so abhorrent. Never, never. Let the court
recede. Whether it recedes or not, wo shall re
organize the court, and thus reform its political
sentiments and practices, and bring them into
harmony with the Constitution and tho laws of
nature.”
To the same effect is tho address of the lie
publican State Convention of New York, in Oc
tober, 1868.
“ It if one of the most lamentable features of
the present Democrat degeneracy, that It has in
vaded even tho sanctuary of justice, and from
tho scat once honored by Jay, Rutledge, Klls
wortb, and Marshall, now sirains its equity
through the sieve of sectionalism, in accents as
barbarous as they are disgraceful to the nation
to which we belong and the age in which we live.
The infamy of tho Dred Scott decision if but a
legitimate sequence to the efforts that have been
put forth to seclionalize and pack a tribunal in
which onco was centered the respect and confi
dence oi the nation!”
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, seems to
have beeD a pioneer in tbe cause of assailing the
Supreme Court. It will be remembered that In
2855, in the city a band of abo-
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1861.
lUlonlsts, with Passmore Williamson at their
head, rescued a fugitive slavo from the custody
ofthe officers of the law. For this* he was tried
condemned; and imprueued. Referring to this
matter in his speech in Now York, October. ISJo
Mr. Wilson said:
“ We shall change the Supreme Court if tho
l nited States, and place men in that court who
believe with its pure and iiumnculate Chief Jus
tice, John Jay, that our prayers will be impious
to Heaven while wo sustain and support,huuin
slavery. We shall free tho Supremo Court of the
United States from Judge Kano. And here let
too say, there is a public sentiment growing up
in this oouutry that regards Passmore Williamson
in bis prison, at Philadelphia, as a martyr to the
holy cause of personal liberty. I here'is a pub
lic sentiment springing up that will brand upon
the brow of Judge Katie n mark that will make
him exclaim, ns his namesake, tho elder Cain, * It
is too great for mo to bear.*”
Juilse Appeal, lo tho South.
A few reasons now why tho South should quit
the Union, and a few answers to the arguments
against it, and I have doue.
A secession us tho Southern States will insure
to thorn domestic peace and rocurity.
This is a consideration of infinitely more Im
portance than it is generally tuken to be. Lot it
lu remembered that disquiet has made its way
into our families, and has been increasing fur
some time past while we aro in the Union ; and
where it will end r if we remain in it, Hod only
knows. With every recurring Presidential elec-
tion it is to bo renewed, if wo take any part in
the contest. It is the everlasting stump speak
ing in behalf of rival candidates for Congress and
the Presidency, the indiscreet table-talk which it
naturally suggests, the inflammatory extracts
from Northern xpeechoannd editoriuls constantly
paradod in the .Southern press, which bring un
easiness in our families—not tho things said and
done by the fanatics afar ofl.
Now, all this ends w horo tho separation begins.
The force of this argument will be tested at tho
next mooting of Congress. Mark, if you please,
the change und tone of manner which the rank
est and most defiant Republicans will assume in
that body. If one anti-slavery measure is pro
posed by any of them—if ono thtest, or taunt,
or dare is thrown out by the rudest and moat
rampant oftbetu all, iu contempt of “the pcuuli
ur institution"—call mo uo prophet. Our Con
gress Halls will no more resound with this topic.
Here is a dangerous leak stopped. But 1 have
a better argument than all this, it is univer
sally understood among nil classes here, that
South Carolina will secede from tho Uuion ; uud
the effect upon the slaves in this section ofthe
State, (L know not how it is bolow,) is just as 1
I said it would boa year ago; and just us it bus
J been iu all ages, (aeo Prof. Reynolds’ admirable
j article in the lust Delia to .•) and just ns it ever
i w ill he, if we treat our servants as Hod’s Word
j requires us t > treat them. Seeing cockades
j mounted every where, and continual parades, they
I think that war is coming certainly ; and nuiu
; hers of them are inquiring whether they will nut
|bo permitted to fight with their masters. If not,
I they propose to accompany their masters as wait
[ ingmen, cooks, Ac.
I suppose they think Black Republicans are
i negroes, (no great mistake, seeing they love each
other so desperately) and tho idea of a parcel of
negroes coming hure tu fight “white people,’’ is
j against ali their notions ot delicacy, decency aud
! common sense; aud hnving internal evidence
| that they are certain tube whipped, they desire
to take this honor off their master's bands. Do

lief;
“1 have no doubt that the ftvo and slavo Slate*
! ought to separate. Tho Union is not worth sup

Take another gem from the speech of Kx-
Lieutenunt Governor Ford, es Ohio, tho Blnck
Republican printer of the House of Represen

“l love the Union, hut the time ha* come when

“Acta speak louder thnn word*,” says the old

“some plan might be devised for the dissolution

i Who. alter this, will be so fool-hardy n* to de
ny that tho Republican party i* the disunion party?
It is to this end they have fur years schooled aud
incited the public mind of the North. It is to
tiiis cud they have been fomenting strifes, stirring
| up discord, creeling un “irrepressible conflict,”
1 between tho people of both soetion*. It is to
this end they havo been iuflnming the .Southern
people with their villainous obuie and vitupera
j tion. so that their flrimiuation might lead to rc
crimination; mid hitternofs uud hatred he ex
changed for fraternal regard andnflection. It is
to this end they havo been inciting the uegroes j
| of tho South to insurrection and reUdHon, *o at
to keep tho Southern people Ina sfatenf irritation,
and ain rut. It is to thi* end they rent John
Brown to Harper’s Ferry, to murder defenceless
men ami women. It is to this cud they got up
; their “sympathy” meeting*, and sought to deify

I wasted, on presenting my card of adiuisaiun
into a private loom, where, after a delay of a tew
moment*, a messenger came and conducted me
through the mighty and mysterious building.—
i Down wo went iuto a room where the notes of
tlra bank, received the day before, wero now ex
• mined, compared witli tbo eutrica in the book,
and stowed away. Tbe Bank of England never
issues tho same note the second time, it receives
in lira ordinary course ofbusiness about JkXOO,OOO,

ii up with the date of their reception, and are
kept ten years; at the expiration of which peri
od they are tiikeu out and ground up in lira mill

If, iu th* courso of Liras* ten years, any dispute

the payment of any note, the bank nawproTnoe

dropped one hy ono upon a spring scale. If the
piece of gold was of the standard weight, the
tioale rose to a certain height, and (lie coin did
off upon tho nido us tho box; if less than tho
standard* it rose a little higher and the coin slid
off upon the other side. i asked the weighers
what wa* tho average number of light coins that
caiue into hi* hand*, and, *trnngely enough; he
said it wa* a question ho was nut allowed to an

The next room I entered was that in which tho
notes w ore deposited which are ready for issue.
“We have thirty-two millions of pounds stor

“will you take a little of it?” [ told him it would

Hkxyiukxt in Nkw Ohi.kanh. —The following
resolution* offered hy J. D. 11. DuRoW, Esq., were
enthusiastically received and adopted at the late
Southern Bight* meeting in Now Orleans:
Resolved, That tho people of Louisiana tender
to their,brother* ot South Carolina congratulation
and G<>d speed in the glorious career upon which
they have entered and in hailing their noble
State as anew and indq>endent power, rend her
this word troni the commercial emporium of tho
South:
“ We are patriots, trending fast in your hom red
aleps and shall co-operate speedily with you in
building up anew confederation which shall
bring us safety and honor from tho crumbling
materiah of the old one which now recks to
degrade, dishonor, uud oppress us when we havo
seceded from it and can meet you a* only sov
ercign can meet a sovereign.”
Resolved, That the guns of old FortTMoultrk*
and those ofthe plain* of Chnlmctte, which spoke
so'eloquently in 1770 and 1810 in behalf of
liberty und independence will speak again louder
and deeper uinjfu w niton should the integrity
of Southern soil be menaced.
Kcdoivcd, That, as, Napoleon said of tbe Em
pire, tb*t"Confederation .1 the South is clack
peace hy every moderation, lor
hearance, und patriotism; peace until the last
resource* ot argument ure exhausted; hut come
unhappily the other alternative, ol which there
are ut times threats, it will not find umprepursd
a prop!*

Whereas, The State of Spnth Carolina owes it
to her own citizens, and to those of other States,
that, a* ono of the contracting parties, she should
not prevent or Interrupt the performance of the
pending contract for carrying and delivering of
thotuaiis inode hy the United Htntc* while South
Carolina wa* one of said S ate*:
We, the Stale of South Carolina, iu eouvention
asKOinhled, do declare and ordain, and it is here
by declared anil ordained, that the existing postal
contract* arrangement* shall he continued, and
tho perriou* charged with the duties thereof, shall
continue to discharge said duties until n postal
treaty or treaties shall be conceded, or until oth

ing in effigy of this gentleman by tho people of
Memphis, tho Nashvillo I uion and American re
mark* :
“While wo are not prepared to sanction this
mode us expressing disapprobation of so odious
und mischievous a doctrine, nor 1® the present
instance to condemn it, yet we would commend
this proceeding to hi* attention, as nn unerring
! indication of the populur sontimont <f Tennessee
on this subject, assuring him that if the telegraph
Im* correctly reported him, ho hns committed a
must fatal blunder that must consign him to
merited obloquy, and deprive him foreveroftho
confidence and respect of his constituents. We
can furthermore assure him that wo do uot Iw
licvc there is out) in a thousand of tho citizens ol
our chivalrous State t‘. at will adopt tho dospotic
ami infamous doctrine of coercion—a dootrine
repugnant to ull the feeling* of freemen, and to
fveiy principle of republican liberty.”
Senator I’uoh ok Coercion or 8. C.—Sena
tor Pugh thu* speaks iu tho S> nate of the U.S.
in relution to tho coercion of South Carolina:
“Wny should we not avoid war, if possible,
with the authorities and pcopio of South Caro
lina? “Oh!” some objector will say, “we must
collect the revenue.” Ye*: sir, men who care
nothing whether the mails are or ure uot carried
- whether justice be administered in the Feder
al Uo'irtH or not; whether the people cf South
i 1 . iiua have any representation iu Congreai
i •.r any other advantage from the Government,
iusbt, vigorously,'and at ell events, (most sac
red constitutional vindication 1 that, wo shall
make as much money from those people, levy
as much tribute on iheui as posdblc. Well,
■uppnre that we conquer them, nil of them; tlil
porse the Convention und the Legislature by
arms; execute a* traitors ull the nflicor* of the
State; is that maintaing the Uuiou? The Kena
tor from Teunesseo appeared to think so yester
’ day, if I rightly understood hi* spocch. I think
not, I think tho Union would at once arid no
ecKHurily bo destroyed. Wo should have so
much territory from the Atlantic ocean to the
Havnuunli river a* our conquarcd province; wo
wo should have so muny prisoners, and it wn
spared their lives, so ninny helpless subjects; but
we should have oertainly overthrown tho Gov
ernment of the State, and South Carolina would
he no more. We might erect some false image,
instead of the Stute so demolished; but our con
federate- our sister—la dead.”
Pt ai.u BaMTi.uc.vT in Lot isiama. —lt may
and doubtless must appear singular to many
persons, says tho New Orleans Bee of a recent
1 date, that s'* extraordinary and rapid a change
of sentiment in regard to tho Union should bavu
I tuken place in a eiiy ps proverbial for its staunch
nationality as wu* wont to bo New Orleans. But
wk here have simply been subjected to tbe aaniu
wonderful transforui a lion which is visible all
ovar the South.
At. this period it is entirely safe to declare that
there w> Union party in Louisiana, and
that New Orleans, formerly the most consarta
live portion of the State, is now tho bot-bed of
secession.
The Now Orleans Bulletin ray*, that all of Its
exchange* throughout tho State, are devoting
themselves to the discussion of the inode of reai*
tAC, and to the publication of the proceeding*
of public inertings. Not the faintest note of
submission 1* hoard.

In this city. About 1,315 votes were polled.—
