Than it la oeitainlj tbs part of wisdom to
aatmiaa our Miaarais, sad tbs means wa
potosra w baild ap a Heathen OenftJera-
Os. Upon tbn sabjnet rolamaa might be
•Httsis. Tha fern Slavs States sovsr
u area of a Rttla mors than 840,000
square miles. Tbsir population is about
tusKs miltioß* Her soil to adapted to
s great variety of prodasttoos. The great
States af Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Maryland and Delaware, containing an
area of absat two hundred thousand square
miles, are grain-growing States, and pro
das* every variety es grain in abundance.
Loaieiaaa faruiskee Cane for Sager and
Moiaesea; Booth Carolina grows Rice,
aerd all af thorn prod nee cotton a largo
quantities Imbedded in their bowels are
to be fouud tbe most important sod useful
minerals: Iron, Lead, Copper, Gold and
Silver, together with C.al and Salt.—
Within their borders empty the great riv
ers, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Arkansas
Rsa and the. Rio Grande. She has har
bors equal to any in the ykorld. The cli
mate is deligblfipl. In fine, when we look
over the Southern State*, wo ean set no
reason why they.could not fsrmrhemeelvee
into a Confederacy that would bu able to
defy the world. Greece, in her palmiest
days, was not such a country as tbe South.
Rome, ia the days of her glory, was not
as favored by nature. The products rais
ed in tbs Southern State* bring, annually,
two hundred millions of dollars over and
above tbrir consumption. The thirteen
cslonies with a population of only three
million*, withstood ths armies of the moth
er country for seren years, and at last
triumphed.
Should th* Southern States, then, de
spair of bqing able to dofond theraidros
against th* Northern? But some may
say that England and, perhaps, Franoe
would aid the North. Let ns (oppose then
that the Southern Sutra have seceded in
a b#d>, and formed themaelvea into a
Southern Confederacy, and that the North
ern State*, aided by England, were at
tempting to subjugate them. What would
be the effect ? Os course all commercial
relation between the South and England
would bo stooped. Not a single bale es
cotton would find its way through tbe
North to Xuglm'fl- Our mothers and
daughter* and negro women would bring
out the old fashioned spinning wheels, and
the man would be found fighting in thsir
copers* pants until the South could rear
manufacturing establishments. Instead
of shipping our cotton bales to th* North
or to England wc would build forts out of
them, behind which to fight and, kill abo
litionist*.
Then, with the supply nf cotton from
the Southern States entirely cu, off, bow
woold the North snd England keep their
extensive factories going? There are
millions of people in the North, and es
pecially in England, who have nc ether
means to obtain thsir daily bread.—
Would they not swam out and demaud
bread ? Would we r. > sec civil war in
England, and even in * North? W*
see some evidences already in on* or two
of tk* Northern States. It would, in
our opinion, be all that, England could do
to attend to her own starving millions,
were the to take the suicidal step of sid
ing the North. Eight thousand shoemak
er* of Lynn, Mass, arc said to be in a
state of aotual revolt, and have to be kept
down by the military. These revolts will
become more and more oommon as th*
South withdraws her patronage from the
North.
But England knows her own interest
too well to take sides sgainat the South.
In this day and time twelve millions of
people cannot be conquered, if they be
united, *r,d are determined not to yield.
Ana th* only effect an attempt to subju
gate the Southern States would have,
would b* to cause them to build up man
ufactures st once, and henee, render them
independent sooner than they would oth
nrwiss he. Tho Southern States stand
upon a sure baaie. Cannot any people,
making in annual surplua of two hundred
milliqps, build manufactures, a nary, or
auy thing else they wish ? Surely they
can; and will they not do it, if driven to
it by th* oontiottsl eggi eeaiwws of their en
emies? Iu a Southern Confederacy slave
holder* oouid have expansion. Soon all
Mexico would be ours, and Cuba, ths
Queea of thn Antilles; yes, and Central
Amorioa, and some of the Booth Ameri
can State#. Then there wonld be a chance
for tu t* get the Indian Territory, Utah
and Now Mexico.
| Taxation would be leas an the Southern
1 people than it is. The expeneee of tbe
General Government are mainly paid by
duties oi import*. Domestic manufac
turers pay no duties. Foreign manufac
turers are compelled to aak higher prices
for their goods in consequence of tbe Ta
riff. This enable* the domeetic manufac
turer te gat mere for hi* articles than he
could without the Tariff, the natural
effect, then, of tba working of eur ggjern
meut is, t* give a bounty to those who
have their capital invested in manufacture*.
The government works in such a way as to
plae* in the pockets of maoufaetur.-r: a
large sum of money which they would uot
get if they were left unaided to compete
with foreign manufacturers; and, now,
whila it is of great advantage to the man
ufacturer, it take* from-tbe honest produ
cer what it put* into the pockets of tbs
o bar class. If s Southern man wants to
buy a coat, ia it any difference to him
whether the cloth was made in Yaukee
dora or in England ? Do*'S he love the
Yankee so well as to give him two dollars l
more fer the eoaf then be woald have to
give the Xnghshmar, if the Government
did not make him pay a doty ? We hop*
not; and,.yet, honest Southern firmer*,
tbi* is exactly what the government does.
We do not grumble at thin, provided tliaSh
Northern manufacturers will let us ai m*,
and not make war on opr rigkta. Iks vx
pauses of tho Goveramspj have to be paid,
•ad a* long as the mousy to raised by di
ttos on imparts, It will giv* Incidental aid
to hems manufacturers, sad distribute ths
hardens of government aosqaally. Ws
do not hesitate to say that direst taxation
woald boa mseb fairer way to raiae tbe
ueceaaary revenue. But aot only do the
Southern people pay two-tbirde of the rev
•uaes, bat where to a large portion of the
money disbursed ? We answer, in the
North. Avery Urge part to diahared in
New Yerk, Philadelphia and Boston.—
It gees to tke building up of thoa* cities;
ths natural working of the government
tends to impoverish ths South and enrich
the North. Tbe Sotgji paya tax enough
to build a magnificent Capitol, President’*
house and every other building needed,
and pay tbc ordinary ‘governmntal expen
se* also. While, therefore, we prefer the
Union as our father* made it, yet we think
the South has notbtagUo lose by dissolu
tion—she would rapidly rise in everything
that can make a nation prosperous and 1
great, sod her people happy.
JC3C We copy from the Kufaul* Spirit
of the Sooth an article, entitled “ Presi
dent making ” We have very great re
aped for the opinions of the editor of the
South, but we cannot subecribe to the dee
trine that the next President ought to
com* from the Norf . We have said
again and a tin that w* would go for a
sound Northern man on a sound platform,
but wc do think that the Soath is entitled
to tbs candidate. It is true, that there
are men st tho North whom we would
prefer to many Southern onee. Lane, of
Oregon ; Pierce, of New Hampshire, and
others w* could mention, ere sound, Con
stitutional men. They are State Right*
men of tbe Calhoun stamp, and w* are
ready to support and do battle for them.
It is true also that the South does not
wish to inaaguarate a sectional administra
tion of tho government. The South asks
nothing but equal right* and equal privi
leges, ta member* of the Confederacy.—
She asks this much, and has a right to de
mand it. We can present many sound,
able and patriotic man from tho South,
who would, if elected, administer the gov
ernment on these principles, and such man
ought not to be objectionable to Northern
men. What advantage will it tive to
have* Northern candidate ? The plat
form, mult be unequivocal and vheeandi-!
data mast atend openly and boldly upon
it. Nothing ia to be construed one way
at the North ao J another way ty the South.
Now. why would a Northern-sinn lead th.-
eaneervative h..#u to battle better than a
Southern ones Fhe Northern Democra
cy have had the candidate, the lift two
election!, and we at tho South stood by
them, snd fought shoulder to shoulder
with them.
Can they not do the fame u gallantly
with a Southern man in the lead ? If a
sound Southern mania nominated, cannot.
Lane, Pierce, Dickinson, Cushing, yea,
D'ingUa too, raise their battle axes and
do as effectual service under his banner as
under that of a Northern man ? If we
have to give the North the highest offices
to get them to giro us our rights, vre say
let the Union slide. The Northern peo- j
pie surely see that the fate of the Union
depends upon the election of a sound man
and if they have to be petted and hired
to help ua to elect such a one, we do not
want their help. We do not think they
will need such help. Wc believe they
will stand up for our candidate, and we
think ho will be elected. It is highly
probable we would have to give them the
candidate all the time upon this doctrine
of expediency. Our true courso is to
■how a pertect willingness to adopt a
sonnd platform, giving equal rights to ev
ery State in the Confedertey, and that
we are willing to go for any man who will
administer the government according to
the principles of such a platform. The
only safe Course for the South, is for her to
demand equal rights, and if they are not
oonoedsd, disolre the Union and build np
a Southern Confederacy. It might do to
make concession on a small seals sow. if
ws had. not already made than until ws
have come contemptible in the eyes of oar
euemies, and ought to feel utterly asham
ed of ourselves. It is, in ou.’ opinion,
dangerous to begin to adviea further con
ceasioa. It is true, General Taylor was a
weak President. He was, in fact, meraly
a seminal President, he was completely
andor the control of his advisers. He
had na knowledge of government aflaire.
He was a brave mao, and eminent warrior.
Let hie ashes rejt in peace, but we do not
think it proper to draw from his brief and
! weak administration an argument against
| Southern men. We have men who are
I eaaisently sound and posMas all the requi
’ sites to qualify them tor the position.—
Polk was a Southern man. Tyler was a
Southern man, and Jaoksoa was one toe.
Audso were Washington, Jefferson, Mad
ison and Monroe. It will be recollected
that all the Northern Presidents have not
been sonnd. Martin Van Bar no betrayed
hie party. We have sound men in both
sections of the Union, and we think it ia
aot right that the President should coats
from one ell the time. Every principle
of justice and comity wald dictate that
there ought to be e rotation ia the Bas
tions from which the chief magistrate
is taken. The candidate oannot be called
sectional because be is a Southern man;
for he will be nominated by a national
convention aud stand upon a national
platform He will be p'edged by the
’ principles of bis plaform to give justice
and equal rights to all seetious. It ia true
that t..e result will d-psnd upon the vote
ot Northern States. The editor of the
Smith takes the ground a northern
mas would b* stronger ii tbe North than
a Southerner, Now we tsk Mr. Bullock,
wky? Would it be ainply because be w
a northern mans Or, vbat would lead
the northern Deintorsty to vets for him
more cheerfully f
Wed# not contend for i Southern man
oa tbe ground of unsound.cm. It is be
cause w* think we arc entitled to it. Let
as look at the aubjsct a latle more min
•toly. Suppose Gen, Laic is nominated,
can be carry mors States than Mr. Stepb
•us? H*eould carry Orspon, that is tru •,
bat woald not Oregon go for Stephens, if
Democrats there are true f WsthinkMr
Bulls** will agree that tbs votes of Uli
aeis and Indiana depend aim oat entirely
apoa tbe eoarae of Mr Doagias and his
friends Aud iu oortain that Mr Steph
ana would boas apt as Lane or any other
Northern man, not bolding Mr. Douglas’
peculiar views to get their support. We
think it woald be but simple justice to th<-1
South to give her tbe candidate.
Hwo. Martin ff. Craw) rrf.
Among the rising men of Ge gia, our
gallant and fearless representative stand*
moat prominent. Sinee the retirement of
A. H. Stephens, he heads the Georgia del
egatien in Congress. His growing p„DU
larity is evidenced by the fact that his
majority in the district increases ot every
re election. He is bold and fe.irlera in
debate, and hener he is dreaded by hi*
opponents. His late speech iu the Huuae
of Representatives ea the election of Spea
ker, is perfectly characteristic of the man.
We like to bear men speak out plainly
it is ths wsy all public men should do.
Although y..*og, Martin J. Crawford is
becoming thoroughly posted up on Na
tional affj.rs and the history of Congres
aional legislation, He is every way wor- 1
thy to be the Representative of Seutli-
Western Georgia. Ho is not tinctured
with Union-submissioniain, but stands up,
the bold defender of Southern Rights and
tbe advocate of rraiaUuooto Black llepub
lisan rule. If an attempt be made to
plant the black flag of Black Republican
ism on tbe walls of our National Capitol,
proclaiming to the world the inauguration
of a Northern despotic rule, we shall con
