Jaanarr 7,1860 "lleWof^^oa^^f^kUMa!* 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the 8tate Legislatures to practically nullify the Laws of the United States for the protection of our property, must bo repealed.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 Washington city, 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. “All our leading publishers havo a goodly list, showing that the constant assertion in certain quarters tho South has no literature is not only unfounded' but that the South actually furnish es a lar^e proportion of reading for the MjrThe Legislature of South Caro lina, at its late session, after reaffirming in a preamble, the right to secede from the Confederacy, passed a series of 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 military contingencies," Col. C. G. Meminger of Charleston, has been appointed commissioners to Virginia and accepted. g®*Ri chard Realf, Secretary of State, under Brown’s “Provisional Govern ment” has written a letter to President |w-ii.n,n i n which he denies having had any connection with Brown since the beginning of June 1868, and had no knowledge that the organisation had been revived. Since his return from Eu rope in April last he has been residing In the Southern States, aa a law abiding Citizen, and is willing to aunender him- self to the authorities of the United States or of Virginia. He b . ready to atone in soy way for what ho calls his '"atrooiousblunder.” A* **> Abolitionist he "would have died in defence of his -convictions, and now aa a Southern man lieis ready to prove tho sincerity of his present principles in the someway.”— . Sins* Brown’s attempted insurrection has turned out a ridiculous and to those engaged in it an unfortunate faroe, we flnd.those who instigated It indirectly D, B.

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.

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 cord had crawled into this Eden, whore 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 dissolved the connection, because of the great sin of slavery 1 Publications for many years have been sown like dragon’s teeth over the land, calculated and intended to- disturb the relations between master and slave- societies have been organized nnd en dowed—hinds raised and accumulated, arms and deadly weapons and muni tions have been gathered together in buildings consecrated to the service of the Almighty, to orusado against slave holders.

But.bis histc remains, trad when it-is attempted invest it with saintly and brave lioC virtues,car truth should 6b told, even though we would gladly fee spared the recital. I * 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 Buffering, that she might be permitted 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 ground railroad.” When the culprit, 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 executed between two of these instigators and apologists, it certainly would have tjorno one resemblance to that event, and but one only.
