Wo hope every reader of tho Courier
Will read this letter, which wo publish
today. It is truly gratifying to know
that amid tho storm of abolition
harangues, from tho pulpit, from the
rostrum and through the press, there is
hoW and titota ih tho North, a man who
is wilhng to brave it all, and with bold*
hees and in plain terms rebuke this de
mon of fanaticism. He sings no
'\>deattsto the glorious Union,” he
dots not prate about party, he says
nothing about Nebraska bills and Mia-
eouri Compromises, but treats the ab
sorbing mad distracting question of an
ti-slavery in a practical, sensiblo man
ner. We have had enough speaking,
the time has come for action. Aboli
tionism has at last borne its fruit. In-
eendisriss and murderers from one sec
tion of our country have invaded the
sacred soil of the other. A diabolical
attempt has been made to arouse tho
slaves of the South to a bloody, savage
warfare against their masters-
The leader of this invasion having
suffered the just penalty of his crimes,
has been eulogised as a martyr, and
eanonised aa a Saint, The South feels
the outrage. The rights guarantied to
her by the Constitution have been most
shamalUUy violated. The blood of her
peaceable citizens have been made to
mingle on her toil with the blood of
traitors and assassins. She reasonably
and rightfully demands reparation.—
The denial of complicity upon the port
of those whose teachings could produce
ho other legitimate result, cannot satis
fy her. Greet Union Meetings, with
splendid displays of oratory, followed
by a long string of sympathetic resolu
tions cannot heal the wound. The
North must compel this “nefarious sec
tional spirit 1 'to “down at its bidding.”
The insolent, freesoti demagogues must
he driven from the Halls of Congress,
which they have too long desecrated
jri'h their unholy tread and poisonous
breath. Personal liberty billa passed
by the 8tate Legislatures to practically
nullify the Laws of the United States
for the protection of our property,
must bo repealed. Let these be done
and. the South will once more begin to
feel that her rights are to be respected,
her property and the lives of her citi-
sens protected. Then will she begin
once more to realize that this Union
was founded “to establish justice, to in
sure domestic tranquility and promote
the gtnoral welfare." Disunion at the
South has kept pace with Republican
ism at the North. The latter has el
moat the control of the government.—
If it continues to inorease as it has for
a few years past, it will soon have it
completely in its power, and adminis-
tereo upon tne policy of that party as
disclosed by its leaders, its organs and
its conventions, it will beoome a gov
ernment of oppression and not of pro
tection—and disunion will be the in
evitable result. Too long have the con
servative men at the North looked on
in silence and supineness. Wo fear it
is now too late for action. But let them
like Dickinson, arise in their strength
and influence, and the Union may yet
be preserved.
if not otherwise, quick to deny having
bad any knowledge of tho affair, Bad
ho succeeded perhaps it would havo
been different. We wonder what ex
pedient Senator Seward has coloured up
during his absense to relieve himself of
tho disgrace which attaches to his guilty
acquicsccncowhcn informed; of Brown’s
plans. We will see when ho reaches

Southern Literature.
The New York Journal of Commorce
says;
"That our Literature ia not sectional,
and the South has actually furnished
a larger share of interesting and impor
tant books than tho North. We know
that this may scorn strange to the croa
kers who are ever harping upon the lite
rary barrenness of the 8outb; but it is
nevertheless true that some not only of
the most able, but of the most remune
rative books published in the United
States have been and are by Southern
authors. During the past year, thero boa
been no biography on either side of the
water which surpasses in ability, dignity
and ill classic stylo, the interesting ‘Life
and Times of James Madison,” by Hon.
Wm. C. Rives, of Virginia. Neither in
England nor in Franco from a number
of volumes on field sports in Europe, In
dia and Africa, do we find a more racy,
graphio and interesting book than ‘Car
olina Sports,” by Hon. Wm. Elliott, of
South Carolina.
“In the domain of fiction wo arc in
formed tiiat of “Grace Trueman, or Love
and Principle,’written by Mrs. Ford, of
Kentucky, moro than 00,000copies have
been sola in a few months -, and that
the “Hidden Path” and “Moss Side,’ by
Marion Horland, of llichmond Va„
have, had an aggregate sale of 75,000
oopies: “Beulah,” by Augnsta J. Evans,
of Mobile, has passed through fifteen
editions in three months,- and tho de
mand is by no ipenns exhausted. “Mus
tang Grey,” written by the Hon. Jero
Clemens, of Alabama, has also had an
immense demand. Then there is that
veteran in tho Literary world Wm. Gil
more Simms, who lias not only written
some of our most popular works of fic
tion, but has lately enriched his native
State with his valuable History of Sonth
Carolina.
"In works of Theology, Intellectual
Philosophy, &o., Ac., tho South is not
behind. Dr. Fuller’s ‘Sermon’s lore the
characteristic and eloquent Christian
productions of the former pastor of Beau
fort, 8outh Carolina, who discussed with
Dr. Wayland the question of slavery.—
Dr. Fuller’s sphere of usefulness has
been greatly enlarged by his removal to
Baltimore, and these sermons are tho
fruits of his labor there. Prof. Hodge,
now of this city, but formerly of Rich
mond lias furnished ’Blind Bartimeus;’
the ‘Christian Paradoxes,’ is by Dr.
Crawfir 1, o'Mereor University Georgia;
‘Moral Science,’by Dr. Dagg, formerly
President of Mercer University; ‘Pic
tures from on anoient Artist,' by Prof.
H. H. Tucker of Georgia, and many
kindred volumes.
“In books for children, tho ‘Oakland
Stories,’ by Geo. B. Taylor, of Rich
mond, Vn., is not only having a most
extensive sale in the Southern end Mid
dle States, but from the extreme North
the orders show what is the apprecia
tion of the book there. We were in
deed struck with tho criticism of the
most widely circulated Boston paper,
which though devoted to Republican
ism, had the frankness to assert that the
’Oakland Stories’ were far superior to
a similar series of a popular Northern
writer.
"We might multiply examples, but
we will state that on inquiry at only two
of the New York publishers, we find
that within a few months thoy have is
sued, the one, fifteen different publica
tions, and, the other seventeen, ail
written by Southern authors, represen
ting Louisiana, Alabama, South Caroli
na, Virginia and Kentucky.

has no literature is not only unfounded'
but that the South actually furnish

in a preamble, the right to secede from

Resolutions, announcing that the
“Slaveholding States should immedi
ately meet together, to concert meas
ures forunitod action,"-requesting them
to appoint deputies—requiring the Gov
ernor to appoint “a special committee
to communicate the Preamble and Res*
olutions to the State of Virginia, to ex
press the sympathy of the people of
South Carolina, and their earnest desire
to unite with them in measures of de
fence”—end appropriating “$100,000for

Col. C. G. Meminger of Charleston,

If the present agitation at the South
shall tend to tho development of South
ern manufactories, shall make our pen
ile more self-reliant and shall cause
hem to developo their own vast re
sources. it will have been productive of
great good. But if by Southern Inde
pendence is merely meant a transference
of our trade from the North to Euro
pean nations—if our wants are still to
be supplied by tho industry of others,
and not by our own, we cannot see
wherein wo shall be benefittod. Tho
North may bo punished—our friends
and our enemiee there, may bo involved
in one common ruin, but in what re
spect are we to be the better by taking
our trade from the section where we
have many friends, and giving to coun
tries where we have none. If it be
said that slavery has no friends at the
North except those made so by self-in
terest, it may be answered that even
that powerful motive is not sufficient to
induco England and Franco to -tolerate
it. Great Britain, at a vast oost, libera
ted the slaves of Jamaica, and thereby
ruined the revenues she derived from
that wealthy Island, and destroyed its
asperity. France did the same thing
...St Domingo, and her abolitionists
enoourged the massaore of the white
population. Other European nations
have in a similar manner carried their
enmity of African slavery into practical
effect, though at tho same time incon
sistently encoumgoing^Europoan and
Asiastio bondage. We cannot easily
forget the glorifications Mrs. Scowe
everywhere received in Europe for her
libels on Southern institutions.—Aug.

violations of law and disturbers of the
public peace. The peado of the South
ern people depends upon Ibe peace of
the existing relations between the races,
and they oannot be expsoted to submit
tamely to that officious and offensive
interference, which destroys and de
grades them.
This nefarious 'sectglhal spirit can
never be arrested by mere public gather-
' " of rhetoric,
i Union, for
ail these have been stereotyped and
set to music, and recited! and repeated
by good performers; but if we would
have pence, wo must do justice with a
practical hand, we must act as well as
talk, and extract, and crush out forever
the insidiousness which grows like a
canker at the very rootlet the Constitu
tion. We me must attend to our own
concerns, take care of our disturbers,
and leave other States, in all that relates
to their domestic polity, “free and inde
pendent.”
The Southern States are numerically
the weaker, but they are so, because
Virginia, the prolific mother of States
and patriotism voluntarily ceded to the
great North-west, now forming a large
portion of the “free North,’’ to the Gen
eral Government for the benefit of ail.
Tile institution of donicstie slavery,
which exists with them, is from its na
ture and interest peculiarly sensitive,
and before we can do thorn or ourselves
justice, we must take out stand point
with them, and bear what they have
borne; wemustsco that the colonies,
in easting off the tyrannous exactions
of the British crown, were baptized in
blood at tlieii birth, ns “free and inde
pendent States,” and that the Consti
tution which united these States, was
framed and adopted, as duclured in its
preamble, “to form a itioro perfect
Union, establish justice, insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for tho com
mon defense, promote tho general wel
fare, and secure the blessing of l.bcrty
to ourselves and our posterity.” How
far one portion of the States have treat
ed another as free and independent, und
under tho practio of the last few years,
how far justice has been established,
domestic tranquility, insured, |or the
f eneral welfare promoted in tile mia
ous of StateB with each other, let im
partial history answer.
Scarcely had wo completed cmanci-
pnti in ill our own State, before a clam
or was raised, for tho repeal of the law
permiting the citizens of other States,
pausing through this State, or sojourn
ing in it, upon business or pleasure, for
nino months, to bring-with them the
servants of their household, and retain
'them and return with thorn, and tlieaot
was repealed without advantage to a
single human being, ih derogation of
State comity and good faith, in a spirit
of menace and hostility, in violation of
all social propriety and commercial in
terest ana commorce.
Churches, Norilt and South, which
had long formed astrong.bund of Union
in their general associations, and had
taken sweat counsel. together in their
conferences and organization, became
severed. The serpent if sietirn-il dis

songs of redeeming grace and dying
love wore sung by cli'ildrun of a com
mon lather togothor, when if there had
been a singlo spot on earth, oxempt
from tho influences of this fell sectional
spirit, itkhould have been there; and
representatives' from froc States with
true Pharisaical sanctity, thanked God
that they were not as other men, and

though we would gladly fee spared the

His course in Kansas was marked by
every species of wrong and violence', his
pathway can be traced by bloody foot
prints along bis whole career from theft
to murder. He went to tho neighbor
hood of his exploits under a false name,
and gathered arms and implements
wherewith to enable infirated, blacks,
if he could arouse them, to murder
master and mistress and children, and
tho peaceful, unsuspecting inhabitants
generally; and then at the dark and si
lent hour of midnight, when not even
the pale moon and trembling stars
looked out, when honest men wore
sleeping, when thieves und murderers
prowl and evil hearts routn for their
prey, tho assassin whet his knife and
brandished his bloody pike, A murdered
tho unsuspecting and defenceless; and
for tills, ins crime is invested with ro
mance, and sugared over with pauc-
g yric, and he is culled brave and lieroio
y those whose ovil counsel and more
evil sentiments urged him on, and by
those who furnished the sinews for Ilia
unnatural ond wicked war. What
would have been a dastardly murder
in others, was horoism in him, and the
sentimental sti-ugglo for the privilege of
clasping his hand, yet dripping with the
blood of his viotims ; anti-slavery wo
man, gentle, kind and virtuous, passed
by all otlior sorrow and destitution and

to go to the felon’s ooll and. nurse the
murderer who had sought to arm and
turn loose at midnight tho ignorant und
luwless, and licentious, upon her terri
fied, shrieking and defenceless sex.
He lias been canonized by tho blas
phemous orgies of those who demand
an ant.-slavery Bible and an anti-slavery
God, as a second St. John in the wilder
ness of Harper's Ferry, who was to pre
pare tho way for thoir grim deity, und
make his paths straight, by an "under

aftor a fair, impartial, and patient trial
had been condemned, and was expiat
ing liis crimes' bells wore tolled, minute
guns were fired, nnd gatherings were
invoked, as though the spirit of a pa
triot or a sage wus about to pass from
earth to heavon, and it was declared
that tho gallows would henceforward
be more glorious titan tho ctoss and
crucifixion; and could lio havo bcou
