SECESSION ANI SI BUISSIOV.
These are the titles the Secessionists have
| chosen for the parties likely to spring up from
present condition of politics in the South,and
from their attitude we may justly infer tlftit the
Secessionists, or as we prefer to
call thera®in contradistinction to those who are
“for secession in “the.last resort, aim o to force all
who differ with fhem in opinion, to go for seces
sion, •ti gi’.ing th<?m odious names, jeering
and sneering for tfieir opinions and ef>
fecting tOoduubt their patrjjbtism.
Let us remark here and warn the Preeipita- o

The idea of the Soujh being frightened out*

The man who advises it, urges her to run away,
not “only before* she is whipped, but before
•she is even # struck-! The Government of the
Union owns “hundreds of millions of public
lands? to say nothing of the millions which
have been invested in tine public buildings at
Washington, in nnral ships, in the forts and
arsenals, and*in the Custom Houses and Post
Offices. 0 The people of the several States are
joint tenants of this vast property ; and thh pro
position of the disunionists is for the South to
abandon ft all, to turn it all over to the States
which adhercoto she Union, from sheer coward-*

Under this head the Columbus Times of the
24th inst., publishes the following extract from
a letter written bv one of the largest manufac
turers in Massachusetts : o .
“While 1 have a good opinion of cotton I do
not feci like operating in the present unsettled
state of political affairs. 0 We did elect \\*mp
Appleton, and if a littje prtidence eiPers into
the expression and action of your good State
(Georgia) we shall in a little time, drive .home
the wt;dge which has been entered; amb then
Massachusetts will be redeemed from the hands
of tho “freebooters,” who now disgrace us at

your right* will be respected, and I*know that
tliftfe is yet conservatism enough in the coun

•whole country. . .
Do your duty and I will do mine, and when
the time for action comes, the free ncro States
of Uie North (which now disgrace us) shall he
brought into line, of we will agree to fight
them, and save you the tumble. 1 have strong
hopes tliftt the difficulty will be settled.—
Even now the so-called Depifblican party arc
inclinned,.(and in .fact are) hiking back, steps
—the bifttJe is to l>£ fought .here, among the
conservative men of the North, and the feeling
is, that we (the Webster men* can whip and
’outvote thirty onicli, of these sneaking JJlack
Republicans.* I cannot express half the hate

are the immedkitc cause*of thistrouble. May

It is sjated ii* a conservative paper in east

party in that Sttite arc now be^ilifting to feel
me effects of the teachings of th fanaticaj
]*ortion of their leaders, and as an evidence
that tlrcy’are not prepared to follow them long
er, a petition is now being circulated in Dolton,
signed by many of t\p* leading Republicans of
that city, calling for thg repeal of the odious (
Pcreonal Liberty Rill. The.same paper calls
upon .all true citizens to see that a similar effort
is made in every part.of fchejState; for it most
justly affirms, it is only by a faithful confpliance
with all constitutional obligations, that liarmo-*
ny and peace cjtn be restored to*?h*e Union aifl
“tWat fraternal regard aijd.respect tfdiich should
always characterize the States of the confeder

The Kansas raid is said tq*have been caused
by the attempt of the Government authorities
to sor # ce illegal etjlcrs off the Indian Reserve- ’
tions. A collision occurred between these
squatters and the Government troops, and this,
according to official advices ‘received In- the
W&rDepartment, was the origin of the whole
difficulty. The gquatters had been dallying on
the Indian Reserves for many months since
they were ordered to remove, in the °hope of
‘being allowed to*qmain there, under the Bin
coin administration. They allege that they
were informed by abolitionists® from the east
that this would be the ease. 0

in the Cincinnati Enquirer, of*the 10th inst. a
very able letter, in which he takes strong
in favor of thejright of a State to se

appropriation to force a State to remain in the
Union against Jicr will; and concludes by ho
ping “if Abraham will not remember
the secession of the Ten ‘Tribes, that ho will
remembA the secession® of the tliii teen colo

Gentlemen : 1 have just received you ft dis-t
patch. It is impossible for me to comply with
your flattering request. South Carolina will
certainly secede from the Union on the 17th or
18th of December next. She intends to try 1
it fully at°ali costs.* No more compromises of
any sort. She will take lift guarantees, but
will go ouUhigh and dry and forever. If Geor
gia will back her there will be little or no trhu
ble. 1 only wish she had calldU her conven
tion for tlje day before and gone ouf first. \\ e ,
don't want to lead? \\*e will gladly gjv Geor
i gia the lead and all the honor. Let liftr put
forth her hand and grasp* them. She is arfd
must be the Empire of the South, and
South Ctyolina will have perhaps a hard time
without her sustaining arm. * .
Your obedient servant,
