Ctafatefc if! Amelia . .Cwffion,
These two paint# UN now looked to with eni*.
sidcrsble interest. luri .Sumter is well garri
soned at Charleetoo and Fort Pickens 4 fVns*
cola. Some two or throe hundred Federal troop*
are stationed in each place, Unless negotiation*
are entered into soon, the/ wiU be attacked by
the State Volunteer*. Keeping possession of
the public property l a at ending menace end
intuit to the State*, who have declared their in
dependence, and upon whose soil and within
wboec jurisdiction thia property i* erected.Fort*
and arsenal* built oa the soil of Carolina, Ala
bama, or any other State, revert back to the
State upon her separation from the Federal
Union; and to keep Federal troops within our
borders, and claim our veil and property is a
ja*t cause for war, and will not be tolerated by
a free people. Southern toon would not think
of standing guard over .Vermonters, were that
State to retire from the Union. They would
acknowledge her right to go and take the prop
erty vested upon her soil with her. Not so with
the Administration and the Republican*. They
say we tnay secojL but they want our money
and interest iivJßjkuMic property, and they
will not yieldHpPffght to U. Wo ean go but
they must the revenue and hold on to
tbs property, llsnce It Is that they defiantly
retain troops in the Fort* on our soijj .anjl are
witling to shad blood before giving them up.—
Ws will maintain our right*at all haxard*. Ts
wo are denied them lu the Union, the pUtfttl
booa of going out in peace should not bo denied
us. We are not, Mexeppa like, hound to the j
Union, and must leap over hill and valley until
rider and Bleed perish together. We are a free
people and by (he same right and for the sain*
cause that our fathers separated from the moth
er country, so do we dissolve the tics that bind
uto the. Union. If coercion and the tnslnfe
uaace of a standing army at cur doors, to force
eollaetions for revenna and hold our properly, is
the policy of the administration, there Is no
kept* of peace. The South ealmot mind it. Tt
is humiliating to a free people. It is dagroda-
Uon and death. We abhor war. It is a sure
calamity. It is the last resort of oppressed
freemen. Itut if liberty, if tarred right*, il
honor, if all that ts dear, are to b* maintained
at this sacrifice, tjie price will bo paid.

t issue his own acceptance# rather than see the

Abolition meetings in New York.
lias “Two hides” looked into said paper, or
ha* he confined biin'elf only to the piciurtt, and
especially to the good-looking face of Muj. Ander
son ? Tho editorial article headed “Mej. AudeT
son,” jn that paper, is a riddled and designed re
flection upon the official conduct aud character
of Gov. Fioyd, and import* that be ha*, a* Sec
retary of War, been guilty of corruption, and nil,
bccau/o he resigned his post in the Cabinet rath
er than be implicated in the vasciUadug and
faithless condust et the President.
The editor*'tender <>/his sympathies to Mr.
liuchauan, on the loss be ha* sustained in the
resignation of Gov. Floyd, is not only ir mical
n<l heartless, but is a cou tempt ibis insult to Gov.
Floyd aud tho oadiern people. Not satisfied
wi;h thia indication of hi* Abolition proclivities-,
he denominates the fc>ouiL-rn people, who are
willing to peril their lives and fortunes in the de
fence of our Constitutional rights, a* a body of
“inturijr, uf*.”
The next article in said paper, under “the cot-
Pm movement/’ concludes with a panegyric to
that “sagaeions statesman, Andrew Johnson,”
•Senator from the Southern Stats of Tennessee^
, who ha* distinguished and crGnyutsAW himself
a* a submissionist to the Black Republican rulo
of Mr. Lincoln, aud by dclaring himself ready to
take up arm* to drive lu* own people Into ibe
same pusiliUvn of degradation which ha himself
occupies. We, however, might wnve thi j )>je
lion, a hi* own people have, in divers places in
hi* btftte, burnt bin* in effigy, end consigned the
remain* of regs an I sticks to his loving friends
at the North, a* relic* worthy of their worship
wad a<L>ration.
Rut could not a man who profrxxe* to look on
“two sides” at the tame tine, infer from thi*
laudation of Mr Senator Johnson, that tho edit
or of the paper thinks better of tho traitor than bo
does of those whom be has betrayed.
Haraipfore our people hare willingly con
tributed to swell tho profit* of Northern tdltoyr
aud publisher*. Nothing that enterprising and
talented men at the South could do, in this line
could induce uto pHtfentte them, and their
papers, however w rtby, dwindled and died,
without h regret on our part. Ho strong is their
hold upon on, that that? frequent expression* of
contempt, or cv*u tho taking sides againt us in
our groat struggle for equality, fails to convince
“faro Bides,” and many tike him, of the proprk
ty of diecooUnuing ear further support to them.
The time, however, is coming and is nw at
