The CtneUir of the staler—The Com-

(No 2.)
Mtttn. Editors We have »oen,from themes*
gr«(ketch presented of the debate* of Ibeconveo-
lion which formed the Constitution, the groat im
portance placed by those wise m en on the equali
ty of tbo States. If equality was so necessary
then, can it bo unnecessary now T And if it was
and is necessary between the States, is it not equal
ly necessary between the different sections of tbo
country t It is and was thought so then, and to
presetve that equality between the North and the
South, you sec. that slavery was represented in
the Government; audio feet, Mr. Madison skid
in the convention, "tbo greatdangerto our gener-
al government, is the great Southern nnd Northern
interests of this continent, being opposed to each
other.” They were then opposed, and the consti
tution was so arranged as to protect, if possible,
thoono from the other. The protection proposed
in it, for one against tbo other, baa not always been
found sufficient to restrain each section within ita
proper limits, and prevent ono from encroaching
upon the rights of the other. The grasping en
creaching and persevering spirit or the North, is
constantly assailing the liboral nnd magnanimous
spirit of tbo Sooth; nnd tho guard* are found so
feeble, that tbo section* are marshalling against each
other; the ono to overstep the limits of the consti'
tntioo, and the other to prevent it. Is this a time
to pass laws which will upsot still more that equal
ity, which was thought so necessary, and to con-
finojtlio limits of slavery, which was thought so
absolutely necessary to have represented - in the
Government for tho protection of one section
against tbo oilier*. It was then thought necessary
for the establishment of tho Government, the
equality, nnd safety, and wolfare of the country.
Is it not equally necessary now for tho equality of
tho sections, and the peace and safety of the whole
coonty t Are checks and balances the principle
on which the Government was formed, no longer
necessary T Cannot a majority now, as well as
then, tyrannise over a minority T It is to heap
prehended that in the influence brought by jug.
gling politicians to bear upon the people and their
anxieties, the people may forget too look back on
wbat are their rights; and "the stern honesty
with which tbeir revolutionary father* contended
for them, both on the battle fields with their foe,
and in the confederated councils with friends, and
il is to be ieared they may be brought to yield to
the arguments of designing, vicious weak end tint
id men, declaring that the proposed compromise is
the bast that can be done for them; and that the
Missouri Compromise cannot now be had, nor
maintained. Are all of oar arrangements to be
but tempory ? And the principle* of association
of oar peoplo, always to bo subject to the will of
the North? Will the (roople take'lbs ipse dixit
of the men el Washington, who tell them that no
better can be done, and not try themselves to pro
tect tbeir own rights I " Did our ancestry believe
and follow the opinions of tha politicians of their
day, who told them, that if they resisted, they
would be overwhelmed by the immense pow
erof Britain. They did not; but "resisted at
all bastards,” in defence of tbeir rigbu and those
of their posterity. We are now in a similar
position as to our rights, and those of oar posteri
ty, and should follow their wisdom nnd firmness,
and imitate the example which vindicated so fully
them and our rights—if found to be necessary. Are
we, becanse our brethren assail our rights, to
yield them 1 Oar revolutionary father* did not,
they knew that to yield to one encroachment,
would be to surrender, in time, everr right. Does
not tile late of die Missouri and Tariff compro-
misea in our own day, prove the superlative wis
dom of oar.ancestors, iu resisting unjust demands'
and the futility of onr expecting from yielding to
the domands of the North, peace and tlie preser
vation of our renaming right*. An intelligent
writer says "neighboring nations nro naturally
enemies of each other, unless tbeircommoa weak
nets force* them to league io a confederate Reputi-
lic, and tlieir constitution prevents the difference*
that neighborhood occasions, extinguishing thst
secret jealousy whichdisposessll State* to aggran
dise themselves at Ui* expence of their neigh,
burs." Doe* not tho history of these Uuiled
States demonstrate the truth of this writers re
marks? Our weakness during die revolution and
and under the old confederation, with onr iusr
perieiice as a nntiqn. controlled this fueling of
enmity, and induced the formation of the consti.
tution, under which *< bsv# become strong.—
New this strength fearing no ontward enemy, re
laxes the restraint* produced by weakness, and
gives eseroiie to that fooling of jealousy and enmi
ty, which this writer speaks of as uatural to neigh
boring States, and which disposes'thera to aggran
dixo themselves at the expease of tbeir neighbors.
This is s true abstract view of onr domestic po"
lidcal history, and present condition. As the ont
ward dsngors pasted off, with the war, that se
cret jeiilonsy which dispose* all State* to aggran^
dire themselves at the expense of tbeir,neighbors,
began to.act, aud the articles or the confeder
ation being foand too weak to bold the conotry
together in peaco and prosperity, tho constitu
tion was established, and should control tho ac
tion of Congress: but it is often disregarded, and
compromises have been agreed upon, and ell
has been found too weak and feeble, to restrain
thisjealoo* aggrandixiug spirit, on the part of the
North' Aed tbeqeeation, "shall tbo South anb
mit farther," is brought up time a fler time, and
forced upon the South so often, that it now be
comes her to ask herself, whether she baa not for!
her interests and bar honor submitted far enough
aud wbat is to be tbo result of *11 theso conces
sions ? Will it not bo well for the South, since
the North bss abrogated all her compromises by
her encroaching demands, to take agsin her posi
tion an a strict construction of tho constitution, and
delcrmino that so long as the constitution is al
lowed to rontain in full force, end to continue the
rule of the Government, uuder which we claim
protection, wo will nbile in the Union; but only
so long as it continues its funned. The momentone
State does interfere with slavery, out of her borders
(•ho clo iriy transcends hsr own rigbu and invades
thoso of another; and tho moment Congress pass-
esnny law restraining tbo movement or manage
ment of slaves, it infringes tho constitution and in-
torferes with the reaorved rightt of the States*
and virtually, if not litaraiiy dissolvestbo Union.
Tho act of Congress being the act of all the States,
will absolve tho State or States iutruded upon,
from all allegiance. Thi* is so, and a right which
cannot be denied; foribe States united themselves
to be governed by ceruin limits; and if tbo Gov
ernment does not observe the terms of the
contract, their law cannot bo binding on the indi
vidual States. The Statoof Virginia, in November
17*6, Resolved, That the confederacy having been
formod, on the broad basis of equal rights i» every
part thereof, and confided to the protection and
guardianship of the whole, a sacrifice of the rights
of any ono port, would ho a flagrant violation of
justice and a direct contravention of the end for
which the Federal Goverment was ioslitnled. and
an alarming innovation on the system of tbo
Union. The North and the South shonld ponder
over this—and the South should, to a man, deter
mine to maintain tbo position bequeathed by their
revolutionary lathers or to remain no longer iu
the Union. A SOUTHERNER.

Upon reading the communication of76,’ the ques
tion natural Jy arose in mind, what does be mean?
Has not the sentiment, that breathe* through bis
articticle, influenced the Southern mind to submit
to' aggression and oppressisn, for a number of
years 1 A Union, for matnal protection and equal
liberties is indeed dear.
But may God preserve me from being a member
of a Union between a tyrannical majority and nn
oppressed and enslaved minority. These are the
sentiments, that should be borne upon every
breeze from the South to tho North, ft would
have been well, if “76" had carefully condsider-
ed the following opinions of one of the mostgifted
sons of the South, belore be penned bis article.—
Had he done so, I dare say, none of your readers
would have been surprised, to find a correspond
ent of your paper singing the old soug of Union.
But to the opinions, that, I believe find a place
in the minds of niue-tenths of the Southern peo-
pie.
"Is the Union paramount to all other considera
tions? Will any venture to affirm that no wrong
on the part of the majority—no degree of exasper
ation or injury, working to the dishonor and per
haps tbo destruction of the minority, will ever
justify itssecession from tho Confederacy ? This
would be an assumption, surely, which would
place the injnred in an attitude the most despica
ble, aud prove that the spirit which animated onr
ancestors, when they threw off and trampled un
der foot nil tbo bonds which concocted them with
Britain, had died oat forever, leaving them a pro
per pray for the insolences and nsurpations of the
tyrant." I know that *7S'caunot mean to convey
such an idea as this.
Let neither friends nor enemies think so basely
of us. If they do, the penally be on the heads pf
both. It is this unwise and unfounded misnppre-
ciation of our affairs, onr public miud, and our
spirit, which has encouraged our assailants, in the
insane orosade against our institutions, which
assuredly to work wo, whether we suffer ourselves
or not. It is tho wretched Northern presses cir
culating hi the South, which so greatly misrepre
sents the truth, as to impress tbo peoplo at the
North with the notion that we are prepared to
submit to all tbeir exaction*. For a long time we
have done so—we may do so for some time lon
ger—but, unless we greatly mistake the character
and strength which atill remain to us, there will be
a limit to our forbearance; when, if the wrong
be not as fully and promptly remedied, as it was
committed, there will bo such a rending of all tii
aud obligations, as will effectually remove the pos
sibility of tbeir re-nnion. v
Tbo cry of tho direct interest of all persons in
tbo safety of the Union it mere declamation, and
that too, uf a very common place character. If
the union shall workinjastice'to any section, and
that wrong is continued from day to day, and
that wrong threatens to be permanent, the di
rect interest of the oppressed is to surrender it
wilbont scrapie. When the government of a
country becomes a tyranny, thecitizen is absolved
from his allegiance—niy it is his duty according
to every lesson wo have been taught, to fling it
down as a monstrous tbing in the sight of Heaven
and man, to dense onr hands aud souls with all
haste, from its abomination*. When again in ad
dition to the wrong, the robbery-and abase, the
usurping party proposes to advance still farther in
its hostility, to plack from us *11 the securities we
have enjoyed, to fill our land with strife and in
surrection, and to make a fatal overthrow of tho
domestic iustitotions upon which all oar interest*
depend—we are astounded that any person should
interpose a doubt at to wbst will be the result;—
assuming for onr people, the least remaining conr-
ago, or the least decerning wisdom. It will do
for thoso who feed and fatten upon the copartner
ships, to dilate in hosannas to the Union. Certainly
it is their policy, as long at they can, to persuade
us or the value of a connection which yield* them
all the profit* of onr industry. But that they
should succeed always in deluding the P* rt y tb«y
despoil, is quite as impossible ns it is nnendnra-
ble. Let o# add.that ho'i* no real friend of tbo
Union who seeks to drown the language of com-
plaint ngainst injustice, by vain declamations cp-
ou this subject. Let thoso who preach the bless
ings of the Union, only as industriously try to bring
back tbe government to justice, sod to a proper
recognition of the Constitution, and then tbe chan-
are that tbe Uuiod would need no hosannas.
But, if those even who should bo our friend* will
expend their eloquence in behalf of tho confed
eracy, without seeking to do justice to tho injared
members of it; lettbem bo sure they are only
contributing to tho injustice—are only confirming
tho majority in it* nsurpations, are only helping to
tiuderciinc the towora aud throw down tbo walls
or that constitution upon which, alone, will de
pend equally the value aud dependence of the
Union." - PRECOSITE

The proceedings of this distinguished body shew
how difficult it is to Unto the spirit of a bravo and
free people. No means were left untried to thwart
its purposes and awe it into submission to tho pol
luted powers at Washington. It was said even
that President Taylor would semi an armed force
to Nashville to prevent the organization and eit-
tjpgs Of the convention. But tbe convention met,
and has adjourned over, niter adopting n series of
strong and patriotic resolutions, as well ns an ad
dress to the peoplo of tho slavehotdiag States.—
This nddress is taken up principally with a histo-
iyof the slsveor agitation, and tho discussion of
tho question of the extension of slavery to tbo ter
ritory lately acquired from Mexico. The South
ern view of this delicate and dangerous question
is very ably presented. The language of menace
is nowhere employed throughout tho nddress and
there is an absence of cant terms nnd party-watch
words which adds not a little to its strength and
beauty. It is emphatically a powerful paper,
and will make a decided impression upon the
couutry. It proposes the Missouri Compromise
lineas a basis of settlement, and urge* that the
Sooth shonld accept nothing leu—pruvidpd it ia
offered by the North, and there is a distinct recog
nition of our right to enter tho territory south of
36 deg. 30 min. north latitudo expressed in tho
Compromise. This proposition is designed no
doubt to exchtdo from our consideration the plan
of compromise now pending in the Senate of tbe
United States. If this measure should be adopted
by Congress, what courso will the convention re
commend the Sooth to pursue ? No lino of poli
cy is iudicatcd in tho address, nnd we are left
wholly to conjecture upon this subject. To what
causo nro wo to attribute the silence of tbe con
vention ? It is said the convention will meet again
after tho adjournment of Congress, and will then
prescribe a suitable remedy for the South. But ._ . .. .

dross exhibits throughout a spirit of devotion to
the Union and tho institutions of tbe country.—
The South will lend herself to no such purpose
as this—she will leave the infamy of a separation,
of these States to our degenerate Northern breth
ren. But there is a point, we are told, at which
“forbearance ceases to be a virtue,” and we there
fore affectionately warn the North to listen to the
voice of reason and persuasion—to cease at once
her encroachments upon the South—and we tell
her if she does not, that the time will soon come
when the oppressed but gallant South will throw
off her fetters with as mnch ease as the lion shakes

Messrs Editors—I'lease give me apace, and al.
low me to be desultory. We have' Ifsteued to va
rious conversations on tbe compromise of Mr.
Clay and tbe Missouri line, and as to the conse’
qnences which may follow tbe acceptance or re
jection of one and tbe other. Some lalkofdiasoln-
tton of tbe Union, as one of tbe consequences of
the non-acceptanco of the compromise, and others
of a great fall ip the value of property, at the
Sonth, &c. Now we consider ueither dissolution
nor a fall in the valne of property will in either
case occur.
But when those circumstsuces come, there are
other persons than, juggling politicians at Wash,
ington, and iu tho towns, who will have something
to do in the matter. The only question now is,
which will be tbe best step to check and pat a fi.
nal stop to the encroachments of the North, which
if permitted to progress in it* own 'course, must
lead sooner or later, both to a fall in property and
to dissolution too. What the South shall do to pu t
a final stop to, or check these assaults of the North
on her rights,-will have no effect at this time, to
produce or hasten a fall in prop erty, nr a dissolu
tion. If the Sonth moves ooitedly and efficiently,
her action may pnt a .stop forever to these en
croachments; if she doe* not move together, and
moves inefficiently, her action, will-ouly invito new
aggressions.Wc cannot indulge for a mnmenUn idea
that there i* a Southern man who will dare to pro*
pose an unconditional surrender of onr right* to
tbe jurisdiction of the North, nr even that of Con
gress. Yet the yielding to these compromises i*
not far from such a course. The object, I take it
of every southern man, is to pul off the evil of
such a day altogether; but if it cannot be avoided
(this latter alternative should not be admitted io
ility.into the mind of a southern man,)then to
pnt it off a* long as possible. The question comes
op. how is either to bo done ? We cannot at pres,
enttell; for (Its Uaitaii Siaisa entrusted the
management of their affairs io a great degree, to i nation
men, who bare tbeir own objects; and there are
besides bands pnt into tbe pie, Irom every city,
town, village, nnd wo may say, too, cross road
store, many who do not comprehend the subject,
and some who have qo interest in the matter ex-
cept as their feelings may have become enlisted
in tbe snbject, or they may have perceived how
they might derivo some proGt ns it passes. Uuder
these circarostances it becomes us to weigh well
what is proposed, bat by no means to yield .any
farther. Hence it is better for the South to try
and retain her position as near as possible, and to
exercise whatever determination may be necessa
ry to do that. It is trae, that when one com
mences to yild to another, that other will Continue
to require bis concessions—it becomes necessary
to bis will, and he will coutinue his exaction until
be is resisted, and shown that be will not be sub
mitted to. Then the exactor concludes be will
have to do something to obtain more, aud the ques
tion cornea np, "It it worth while tor me to have a
fight, and probably spend and lose much of what
have, and possibly, if nut probably, fail in ray
object, and be beaten too; aud this is probable for
the other-may call some one to his aid.” That
must be tho course of reasoning with the Nurth;
while tbe South, if she has any sense left, from
her divisions, aud party strife, and apathy of tbe
people, mutt reason as follows—"the Nurth have
always been commiUiug aggressions upou our
rights, and nothing seems to appease her; she it
regardless of all ber compromises, aud our rights .
that which at ono time seems to be unjust, and to
abock her, alto soon familiarize* to her conscience >
and doe* not hesitate to demaud, (see various res
olutions passed on the subject from time to tiuie>
Congress,) consequently the only peace aud
security of tbe Sonth, from ber encroachments
mast be in resistance, to yield doe* no good.”—
These are now the relative positions of tbe North
and the Sonth, so far at tbe respective politicians
bavecome in contact; therefore there appears to
be a necessity for the people, whose apathy and
divisions have been, in some degree instruments)
in allowing, if not io bringing about this stale of
affairs, to step forward and decide wbat shall bo
done—for on them will fall the consequences.—
Do not look to politicians for advice, for they have
aided to bring ns into tbe snare, nor to parties for
they have had much to do with it. They will tell
you, unless yon do this or that, yoor property will
sick in valne, cotton fall down to fditrnnd six cents,
negro fellows from $800 to $300, or if yon do this
or that, such will also bo tbe cash. Pray keep
calm, aud think for yonrselvcs, and do not let 'tbe
political jugglers, and their strikers, alarm you, or
think for yon. The world mnst be clothed, no
matter what tho politicians at Washington may do, j
orsav, therefore cotton will ever be wanted, ami its |
price" will depend upon the quantity supplied, ami j
bother there is specie in the coon trie® which want j
liether food is cheap in Europe, so as to allow
to trust the governments, California is furnishing
specie enough with what was in hand, and accru-
ing elsewhere, for the trade of the world, Eng.
land has opened her port9 to our grain and meats,
and there is no appearance of blight in the Enro-
pean crops, and the supply of cotton, instead of
being too much, it supposed may be too small;
under this state of things, do you think the politi
cal jugglers at Washington, can reduce the price
°f property. The price of property in this county
depends upou the price of cotton, aud the pricefof
cotton depends upon the condition of the whole
world, therefore the jngglera at Washington, can
not efl’ect it much; unless yon allow them and
their strikers to put yon iu a state of panic, and
persuade you their action there, can affect you as it
once did, on a memorable occasion, when you
were told that what was done at Washington by
Van Buren, through the Sub Treasury, &c. &c.,
had reduced the price of cotton from 16 and 20
cents, to 6 and 8 cents When in fact it had but
little to do with it. except io the peoples imsgina-
lions, on which the political jugglers had worked.
The cause of the decline of soma at that time,
was the disturbance ol tbe specie balance in the
trading world. The Bank of Eugland bad byher
liberal discounts made money more plenty in Eng
land than in other countries, in proportion to its
trade, and consequently, every thing was higher
in Eugland, than elsewhere. Money being more
plenty there, her merchants consequently gave ex
tended and long credits, and brought other parts
of tbe world in debt to England, particularly this
country. They drew specie out of the Bank, sent
it abroad, and bought the low articles in other
countries, where money was not so plenty, to sell
in England, where money was more plenty and
prices higher. They nm on this game until the
Bank had lost her specie, and foand oat that her
own action had put up prices levery where,
aud more in England than elsewhere, and tbst
England under that course, was losing, ber spe
cie, and that to combine tho same conrse, she
herself must noon break for want of specie. In
this state of affairs, she determined to call in her
debts, and in doing so to require specie. This
resolution produced the great revulsion of 1837,
which in 1840, was believed nearly throughout
the United States, to have been caused by Van
Burens policy. All countries, and largely the
Uuitcd States, were indebted to England's mer
chants, who owed tbe Bank,’so all tho Bank bad
to do, was to require specie, and the merchants,
to preserve her good will and their credit, wrote
to this country, "the debt moat now be paid, and
in specie; we cannot take produce, but at very
low rates," npd down tumbled cotton from 16 and
20 cents to 6 and. Scents, and tbe jugglers at Wash
ington, and their strikers, through the States,
mode almost tho whole country believe that Van
Buren had done it. Some, who watched the
coarse of events felosely, saw how alt had occur
red. were astonished at tha power of the Banks, at

tho stupidity or duplicity ol the politicians, (who
probably, had lost sight of every tbing but their
own intrigue,) and the credulity of the people.—
The writer witnessed the Harrison mass meeting
in Macon, and looked on iu wonder, at tbe effect
produced by tbe political trickst->rs touching the
pocket nerve. He now details these facts, and
their workings with the hope that bis follow-cit
izens will not allow themselves to bp duped again
by tbe cry of politicians, and their strikers. For
tbo last seven months, they have been sqabbling
at Washington, and yottr business bus gone on at
homo and abroad, peaceably and successfully, as
far as the God of nature would permit you have
not seen or felt any difference, and so it is at the
North and the West, aqd so it will continue, while
the condition of the consumers of your productions
remsiutlie same. The value qf property at the
South, will remain the same, only modified by cir-
-cumstances abroad, nntil yon are crowded with
your slaves in so furrow a space, that you cannot
work to advantage, or have worn out your lands;
or until abolition strikes directly at your slave pro
perty in (he States. Tbe move and object now is,
not only to keep you out of tho- rich gold mines
of California, where one slave can collect $3000
to $5000 in the year, but to confine you- and
your slaves to a limited space of country, so that in
time, your property cannot be used to advantage;
and when yon feel this, then if not before, aboli
tion will make direct attacks nn your slave pro
perty. To avoid these circntnstsnces. nnd a re-
dnetion in the value of yonr property, it becomes
you to resist this contraction of your rights nnd tbe
limits of slavery—the North had apace and outlet
tor their slaves, and every Stntc, but one at the

just that you should have *| ace and outlet, to do

by right, the space and mill, t in the territories ob

them to stick to the Missouri Compromise line, in

tbe North will not uow agree to it. tell them to

Then all uo doubt will come nut well; mid your

TV3to aro the Dlstzntonlsts, about whom
we hear no much at this time ?
They cannot be Missouri line men; for they seek no
change. They are for the Union, the Constitution,
and-the Missouri Compromise, as proposed and agreed
to by the North and extended through Texas. All
they ask is, that the country shall be governed by the
principles of the Constitution and the Missouri Com
promise—this has all been arranged'and agreed to,
they are for continuing thesume principles; therefore
they cannot be the Disunionsts.
Who are the Disnniouists then of the South, whom
we hear of at this time? Let us see if the-Clay com
promise men will not prove to be the Disonioniits.
The Clsy compromise moo say they are for the Union,
the Constitution and the Missouri compromise too;
but they are also for something more—some change—
they are for tho Clay compromise in addition; that
even though a majority of their fellow Sontherners
are against—they are ao. even to seven tenths. Well
it would seem if there was any disunion at the South,
they are the people who make and are for it; they are
not onitedwith their Brethren of tbe South, in pre
serving the principles of the Constitution and the Mis
souri compromise xs they are; then it is clear that, if
there are any disunioniats at the Sonth. the Clay com.
promise men sre the disnnienists! We are sorry for it;
becauso it is said, “a house divided against itselfcan-
not stand"— will not this adage, which ita true one,
induce the Cissy compromise men to unite with their
brethren in trying to preserve tbe principles and op.
orations ofthe Governmental they are and have been
established. If they will, then old party lines and
party friendships may be preserved, we can then
present a united and determined front to tbe assail
ants ofSouthern Rights, which would prove a perfect
protection. INVESTIGATOR.
