I. . France cm.md Re otherwise than prood to
find Iter protection tir® her* alliance
B oppressed nationahties, and it is
her interest and her glftry no? to fail in any of
j the obligations thil her high position imposes
upon ker. But in the presest ca*=e, 0 1 that* of
tlfo proffered alliaqce of the southern Stales,)
the question of independence is complicated by
a question of slavery, and the one flings an un
happy shade over the other.
France, who abolished slavery herself, can
; not e.’en seem to protect it in other rxrantrifcs.
an idea even wo°uhl do her a serious inju
ry. The Amerfcans of Bouth Carolina must,
then, be persuaded that if ever they obtain
from the French Government the moral sup
port that they demand, it will not be as propri
etors, but in spite of their°being proprietors of*
slaves, and by virtue of the principle, acknowl
edged for thirty years, that all Governments dr
facto shall be jecognized by the “Governments
of Europe and America.
There is pnly one of the of the I
Union in regard to which .France can. have, in !
certain events, any more extended rights and
duties. It is Louisiana as it geographically ex- ;
isted when it was ceded by us to tbe United
States inTSoS. The treaty of cession guaran- |
teed to the French colonists and their descend- !
o
ants the enjoyment of their property and of |
their civil and religious rights. The vast and.
rich territory op Louisiana lias*formed since
then, besides tbe State itself of Louisiana, the
States of Missouri, Arkansas, lowa, parts of
Alabama and Wisconsin, and the Territories
of Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. ©Every
time that*one of these had to be organized or
admitted to the Confederation, the slave .pro
prietors have invoked theiro rights guaranteed
to them by the treaty of 1803. The right of
Arkansas founded on this argument, w3s recog
nized by John Quincy Adams hiiiysclf in 183(3.
The Governor of Nebraska invoked the sy me
argument in vetoing the bill to prohilyt the in ;
troduction of slaves into the Territory, apd
thi:*.doctrine is also to be found in the decision
of tlj,c Supreme Cou# of the United States
rendered in the ease of the negro Deed Scott.
These arc the historical and judicial prece
dents,“which wjlj not he without valtie in case
any serious attack ii* made upon the civil, po
litical and religious lights of the ancient terri
tory .of Louisiana. l>ut tj,ie institution of sla
very —was ft a portion of these rights guaran
teed l And these rights, are they really ignor
ed ? ° These arc questions that France can
neither raise nor solve, ajid which she cannot
be tailed upon to examine, “except ;1t the request
of the Louisiana authorities. At preterit thi.■?
States haprtily, seems to take no p;trt in tin?
•disurfioß movement. There is, undoubtedly.
|an extreme party, which is° recruited chiefly
tVoni the country planters, whose principal
wealth is in slave property, and whose revenue
lies in the produce of the soil. Iftit, by strange
contrast, while southern •agriculturists are tl“e
most determined in favor of slavery, the most
fatidical Abolitionists are to be found among
the furlcuhiftists of the North. o 0
The sea coast towns, on the. contrary, arts
strongly conservative. New York gave twenty
five fhousand majunty against Lincoln; New
Orleans ß voted for Fell, and Charleston, Savan-
and all otKer southern ports, have to a cer
tain extent, opposed the tide of schism pro
claimed at Augusta and Columbia. The reason
is that the maritime towns understand better
o o
than all otkers that the .prosperity of the Un
ion depends upon union;* 8 and rupture
theTiasisof its o success is destroyed ! ,(souimef
cal instinct Tises in them to the height of po
litical intuition, and merchants and traders 3re
at this time the truest patriots, o
France lias in the United States the saiye in- 0
tercsts that these large towns have, and ought
to follow the same line of conduct. The rup
ture of the Union wjjl entail °more risks than
benefits; for while the commerce of England
and the whole of Europe will be admitted, with
our own, to Phe free ports oi the new Confeder
ation, the northern Confederation will immedi
ately seek, in an exclusive “alliance with Eng
land, a counterpoise to the southern agreement?
with France. War will inevitably flow 0 from
tlii® antagonism. Having as allies slave pro
prietors, we will be forced, Jjy the nature of
things, to defend their institutions? and to tol
erate theft plan of annexing Mexico and the
island of Cuba, which the North*up to this
time has alone prevented. ° °
France will never lay herself open to such a
course. She ought not to allow the southern
States to dcceiv& themselves in this matter.- —
She cannot even lend such” consent as silence
may afford ; her duty is to labor with all her”
power to prevent a dissolution. There ought
not to be for us, on the other side of the At
lantic, either “southern Americans or northern
“Americans, but States whose union is impor
tant to the equilibrium of the world. The Am
erican marine is hot less necessary to France
than°the Russian, Spanish and Italian navies,
to preventa single power from seizing the em
-1 pire of the seas.
France was the first, ally of the United States
—we hope that she will now be their counsellor,
and expose the abyss into which they are hur
rying—an abyss in which will be buried forev
er a past most glorious and a future most hope
tub lor the American Union, separation is
suicide; it is murder of a great nation and a
great principle. France cannot lend a hand to
this suicide aud this murder. She has helped
to make this people—she will never help to de
stroy them.
Such are, we are convinced, the sentiments of;
our Government.
“He hasn't au rneniy in the world.”
Hasn’t! Well, we are sorry for him ! For
he has mighty little character who has no en
emies. He is nobody who has not pluck en
ough to get an enemy. Give us rather, as our
ideal of virtue and manliness, one who has
many enemies—one who Jias candor, and fear
less love of the thing he sees to be right. The
man of earnest purposes, strong will, and love j
of principle for its own sake must have ene- j
mies. But this, so far from being ill, is to him
a good. The strong tree is more deeply rooted
and fastened in the soil by the blast than the
summer breeze. A man never knows how
much there is of him until he has confronted |
aud braved bitter opposition,

It will throw some light on the real position
of the great question now tilling the Southern
mind, to see what England” says on the subject.
The London Times—the great national newspa
per of Great Britain, in speaking of Lincoln’s
election and the excitement of the South, says:
“Although we believe the Southern States
to be a great deal more frightened than hurt
by ttie recent election, we rejoice, on higher
°andsurer grounds, that it has ended in the rc
turt of Mr. Lincoln. We are glad to think
that the march of slavery, and the domineering
tone which its advocates were beginning to as
sume over freedom, have been at length ar
rested and silenced. We rejoice that a vast
community ol our own race has at length giv
en an authoritative expression to sentiments
which are entertained by every one in this
country. We trust to see the American Gov
ernment employed in tasks more worthy of a
State founded on the doctrines ol’ liberty and
equality than the invention of shifts and devi
ces to perpetuate servitude; and we hear, in
this great nrotest of American freedom, the
tardy echo of those humane doctrines to which
England has so long become a convert.
Here we have England glorying in the ejec
| tion of Lincoln, and telling us that Abolition
Sentiments are entertained by t ier// one in Eng
land, °and that this Lincoliftriumpli is only an
echo of those “humane doctrines” to which
England has long been converted!!!* Every
one to his own taste, Mr. Editor; hut for my
part, it w<£ possibly can secure our rights in tlie c
“Union, I*a thousand times prefer to remain in
union with the Nortlt, with 0 its more than a
million and a half of voting friends to the
than to be in intimate contact with a
nation which, by its own testimony, is one un
broken phalanx of Abolitionism. o
The London Saturday Review of Nov. 17th,
also contains the following: °
‘Tt is plain, however, that every attempt of
the Southern States to expand beyond the Ter
ritory absolutely secured to them would be re
sisted, not simply by their Northern neighbors,
ljut by the whole strength of European civili
zation. The lifore reckless spirits of the South
are pushing on their quarrel in the belief that
if they werexmcc disembaMassed of the Union
they could rend province after province from
Mexico, and fill each successive acquisition
wish their slavxs. But Europe would have a
word in the matter. It is simply the incorpora
tion of “the North from the South which pre
sent;? European statesmen from treating the an
nexations of the Rnited States as avowed ex
tensions of the area of slavery. They cannot
now 7 upbraid a confederacy, of which more
than half the have no slaves, with
conqucringand annexing increly o in the inter
est of cotton negroes, but there would be,
no scruple about taking the Southern federa
tion with designs which it would be at no
pains to conceal. ” 0
Here we are® threatened with “the whole
strength of European civilization oagaiust us,”
if we go out of the Union and seek to extend
our territory! The cloven foot peeps out in
advance of secession. No greater delusion
ever entered the brains of than that
England and the Continent will be our friends
and protection for the s;fke of our cotton. Do
not the orators of the day tell us that fanati
cism will not stop for the of interest? —
England has not h;df the interest dependant
upon being on good terms witlf us that* the
North has. If the greater interest of the
North docs not hold back abolition aggression,
will the less interest of England do it?
Whatever else these extracts show, thcy #
show just as a multitude of other testimonies
do* that fanaticism is already® arrayfed against
us in England and on the Continent. The on
ly’ part of the civilized world where the South
has any true friends, beyond her own borders,
is in the Ntwth, where in spite of rampant fa
naticism, wgc have aomighty host with us. It
is folly to think that cotton bags will be our
°bulwark of defence. The only way to make
them so, is to plant cannon behind them, as
Jackson did at New Orleans. If we must se
cede, either now or hereafter, we must have a
Navy able°to cope with that of France or Eng
land, and an army whose serried ranks can
drive back the most powerful force. I go for
secession if we Cannot get find secure O our
rights in the Union; but the moment we eSist
as a*, southern Confederacy, I go for expending
a hundred million upon a Southern Navy —an-
other hundred million upon forts, arsenals, mu
nitions of war, and the equipment of a South
ern Army —and an annual expenditure of sev
eral millions to support the Army and Navy at
the - highest point of efficiency. Any defensive
preparation much less than this will bring us
ruin, before the first- decade of thc Southern
Republic is'ended. L.

Editor Enquirer: lam a changed man—
my eyes are now wide open—a revolution has
taken place inwardly—l quit my party. “A
decent respect for the opinions of mankind”
require I should state the cause of the separa
tion. 9
Imprimis, I was for instant secession; then
followed war; we would have a fight; I was
fora fight—didn’t care much who it was with.
I knew I was a soldier, and wanted to be a
captain. I thought of it before Lincoln was
elected; then I thought to be Ist sergeant was
enough. Lincoln was elected; the boys were
excited, I saw it, and quickcr’n lightnin’ it
struck all over me, “I’ll b<j a captin —war is
my element—glory in store for me.” Thinks
I to myself, 1 see posterity shouting, “all hail
to Captain Snooks!”
I went through the streets and heard the
boys say, “never submit to Lincoln’s rule”—
“die first”—“who’ll submit?” Thinks TANARUS, here’s
the boy that won’t; but said nothing. Not
time for leaders to strike yet —watch the course
of events. Never slept a wink all night.—
Next morninl went among the people—streets
full; great excitement. Thinks I, the time’s
coinin’ —it draws nigh for me to declare my
self. 1 hadn’t more’n thought of it before the
lightning is on wing—Telegraph dispatch —
South Carolina moving !—great excitement! —
The boys cry, “read it”—“read it!” Kcitt
has resigned! Bonham has resigned! All
Carolina has resigned— yin in ! It seemed to
me seven thousands shouts went un at once,
everybody shouted —I watched my time. ,
Just at that moment I heard it whispered in
tfie crowd, “fire the cannon!’’ No quicker
said than done —Bang! Bang! Bung! went
the cannon —four hundred guns one after an
other. 1 smelt the g Q un powder; that’s my
element, and now’s the time to strike, and I
did strike. Says I, “boys !” and silence pre
vailed —says I —and I did it coolly like, but
with a vim—“ The man that’ll hesitate one in
stant now is a dastard and a coward 0 !! War to
the knife, and the khife® to the hilt!°! )Vho’ll
submit now ? The man that’ll submit now 7 one
instant is a rank? submissionit!! By this time
1 was outer breath; but if I was in my dyin
bed, 1 would say. if there was one shout went
up on that occasion, tlfere was more than four
thousand. When I recovered a little, <sot
breath to speak,out, I did speak once more, for
’ticas a critical time with me —says °J, “Boys,”
and I spoke sorter wild, but with terrible dig
nity and determination —“Boys, bring me a
cockade as big as a large platter and fasten it
on my person !—put it on in front; let all men
sec ft; and let no man dare take it off till lib
erty’ or death is secured to my country !”
Wlir was just ahead of me now; I knew that
ball couldn’t bo stopt! What do you, think®
tuk place next ? Nextinornin—l didn’t sleep
a wink that night —next mofning the infernal
Telegraph said “the South Carolfna members
had not resigned, Bonham and others were
snug in their si?ats in Washington, and had
drawn theirduoney. Thinks 1, what o is to La;
done ?no war alter all 8 ? 1 saw the boys, sipys
they,“stand firm, captain, all will be right yet!”
I felt bad, I walked the streets and said ag I
went, “never submit;” and I°heard it echoed
all round, death !” and 1 hadn’t
gone more’n one block, when I come to the
corner wherc^C— —, and J , and L ,
and 11 d-j and more’n a hundred of the oth-
boys were standin’, greatly excited. They
all at once, in one breath as it were, said, “cap-’
tain, have you bcaivl the ne,ws?” “No,” says
I, “what is it?” “Toombs has resigned!—
Toombs has resigned !! Toombs has resign
ed !!!” The boys changed corners, and shout
ed it again and again, on all the coshers,
“Toombs fias resigned !” and it seemed to me
thrcQ thousand people had cried *it, “Toombs
has resigned.”
All light onceinore*—war can’t be helped
now. Everybody said now; nobody can sub
mit any longer! Says I, “the man that’ll sub
mit now, never ought to have becM born, and
will never have a second birth. Now 1 smelt
o
gun-powder again. Captain Snooks will do
his duty! 8 . ° * •
Heavens and earth! what do you think hap
pened next? The ‘l’clegraf said, war has
broke out actually! Toombs lias” drawn his
sword in Milledgeville, and swears by the
Eternal he won't put it? up! From corner to
corner the news went°round>. The sword has
been drawn ! No use er talkin’; war was on
us—right on us. There teas excitement now.
I got ready—musket all fixt-*—said good-byfe,
wife and baby; went round to sec the boys—
determination sat on my brow. At the corner
I saw R and M and all the other
boys, standin talkin low like. I came up; says
they, in a whisper, “Captin, have you hearn
the news t” “Thunder arid lightnin, says I,
what now 1 lias the war gone at/in us?”--
“War, the devil!” says they, still in a low tone,
“Toombs has gin in ! Toombs lias put up bis
sword. So says the Telcgraf,” says they —
“hut we dont believe a word of it.” Says I
“I believe every word of it. I told j-ou so be
fore. Hamilcar over again ! I told you Ste
phens would make him put up his sword.”—
“But,” says they “that is not the worst of it;
he says he will wait till the 4th of March to
make peace—that’s the devil!” I don’t know
what tuk place for an hour or so —but when I
did cum to, gun was smashed into a thou
sand pieces. Says I, “Boys, right here let
this thing end ; there will be no war; I’ll re
sign instonter.’’ I was about to cuss right out
loud. The boys pulled me in u room and
soothed me like —said they, “something may
turn up yet!” “Turn up, the devil! what can
turn up?” Says they, “South Carolina will go
out, and then war comes.” A gleam 0’ light
struck —there’s a move as is a move.
I walked the streets, met Nick Howard, In
gram and them fellers—they were sort 0’ smil
in; thinks I, darn their picters, they have
hearn of Toombs!
Says the boys to mo, says they, “Captin, the
city is all right.” “Yes,” says l, “Everybody
is for war in the city; let’s fix the country! —
Everybody, up for Mount Moriah.”
Got to Mount Moriah ; the boys all on hand
—country people and all. Everybody, I
thought, was for war. Speakers all on hand.
Thornton spoke—war loomed up; all cheered

(as I thought.) I was on front seat. Ingram

getting strength; move steady like; avoid war.
lie talked so serious and earnest like, the first
1 know’d 1 looked up, and all the country peo
ple were serious and solemn as death. They 0
are thl>ikin, says I to myself; there’s no war
here ! if men think there’s no war. I almost
give up. But, thinks I, let Moses and Jones
and Ramsey, and them fellers come. They
did come; war was triumphant; everybody
cheered, I thought; but drat my buttons if I
didn’t look around and nobody under heaven
was checrin but the fellers from town 1 The
country people all on the back seats as silent as
the grave — thivkin.
Bight then and tliar conviction seized me.
No war here; the dog’s dead; can’t come it;
the people arc agin us. Says they, captain,
hold on, we have one trick more; Carolina’ll go
—then the day’ll be ours ! I watched out.
Trcmcvjiwns uproar in town ! What is it,
says I ? the boys, Carolina’s gone, smack,
smooth out! Gee-lorious old State! Great
Ge-ru-sa-lem ! What shouts ! War is on horse
back to-night! ! Show me a submissionist now
if you can ! Didn’t the lights blaze? Bang!
bang ! bang ! goes the cannon ; everybody runs;
who shall go out first ? The speakers went it;
1 was in the midst of ’em; all shouted ; I
shouted till I was faint and dry ; rushed out,
met Kamscy and them in the midst. Says I,
what now ? Say they, death and damnation
to the man that wont fight now. I agreed with
them ; rushed out to get spirits and water; got
it—darned poor--but any port in a storm ; star
ted back, and may all the angels protect us !
What did I see ? What did these eyes behold ?
Two thousand people outside the war crowd,
all as cool as a cowcumbcr ! Nary shout among
them. Met Holt; says I, what you think?
Says he, what do you think ? Says I, I did
think war had come, but the big crowd is too
cool for war! Met Ingram; says I, what you
think of these war fellows ? Says lie, coolly
like to me, says he, all right; clever fellows;
honest as you andnne; fine demonstration! Co
operation too strong.. Look at these people;
two to one agin war !°!
Right then,l was converted. No fight! No
war! I have been bamboozled, but I won’t
make an ass of myself—l’ll go with them, and
hollow with ’em, as 1 have started ; but if I
don’t vote the Co-operation ticket, then my

o # The ('aplurc of Prkin.
By the steamer Fulton’s dispatches, we learn
that the city of Pekin was actually captured
by the allies on the° 13th of October. The
Emperor's Summer palace was sacked, while he
accomponied by the Tartar army, had
fled it was not known whither. The allied ar
mies had made preparations to remain in the
capital all winter. A number of the officers
captured by Chinese treachery had been releas
ed; but the London Times’ correspondent (Col.
Bowl by) and several French and English offi
cers were still missing, with but little hope for
their recovery.
•The importance of this event can hardly be
over-estimated. It proclaims the final over
throw and destruction of the Tartar dynasty.
Whether,, the Emperor crossed the gre°at wall,
which is only a few miles to the north-ward of
Pekin, awaiting pursuit in the interminable de
serts of Tartary, or whether he has retreated
westward in the direction of the lloang Ho
provinces, his power is goneoforever. “With no
“rebel in the South, the feelings of the celes
tials are such that the loss of their capital
might have 0 made little impression upon the
State.
But the fact that the provinces south of
Yangtse-Kiang have long, been in successful
rebellion under a native chief, can hardly fail
to draw over the North to their side, and thus
endothc rule of this last successor of Kublai
Khan. It is accordingly stated that rebellion
(now revolution) lias broken out°anew near
Shanghre.
The allies°have conquered, apparently with
very little loss of life ; they have also secured
abundant spoils in the sack of the imperial pal
ace; abut their difficulties are still far from a
termination, unless the Emperor makes a
prompt surrender. But the sacred spell which
rested upon his person and power is dispelled
forever, and this is a vital consideration with
a people like the Chinese. They will probably
rally around the standard of the new dynasty,
observing, like the Isrcalitish tribes to David, *
“Behold we are thy bones and thy flesh.” •

The Anifricnn Flag.
At this juncture in our national troubles, the
following extracts from the speech of Mr. Poin
sett, delivered at Charleston, S. C., during the
nullification excitement, will be perused with
pleasure by all friends of the Union :
“Wherever I have been, I have been proud
of being a citizen of this.republic, and to the
remotest corners of the earth have walked erect o
and secure under that banner which our oppo
nents would tear down and trample under foot.
I was in 3lexico when the town was taken by
assault. The House of the American Ambas
sador was then, as it ought to be, the refuge of
the distressed and persecuted; it was pointed
out to the infuriated soldiery as a place filled
with their enemies. They refused to attack.—
My only defence was the flag of my country,
and it was thrown out at the instant that hun
dreds of muskets were leveled at us. Mr. Ma
son, (a braver man never stood by his friend in
the hour of danger,) and myself placed our
selves beneath its waving folds, and the attack
was suspended. We did not blanch, for we
felt strong in the protecting arm#of this mighty
Republic. We told them that the flag that
waved over us was the banner of that nation to
whose example they owed their liberties, and
to whose protection they were indebted for their
safety. The scene changed as by enchantment;
those men who were on the point of attacking
and massacreing the inhabitants, cheered the
flag of our country, and placed sentinels to
protect it from outrage.
“Fellow-citizens, in such a moment as that,
would it have been any protection to me and
mine to have procliamed myself a Carolinian
Should I have been here to tell you this tale it
I had hung out the palmetto and single State ?
Be assured that, to respected abroad, we
must maintain our place in the t nion.”
