which contained a large quantity ot lumber,

Thb Atlanta Higher Law Party.—For I
several weeks there has been bubbltnga ard 1
sitnmerirgs of a higher law movement in this
city and at one time the Marshal had been
compelled to retire. Last Thursday night the
plot was fully ripened, and the authorities
were set at open defiance. A man by the
nc me of Pinkney Anderson took the lead in
proclaiming independence of the law, and a
di,g r acetul scene of disorder ensued, 'lhe
Marshal made an attempt to arrest him, and
we understand, did so—but the prisoner was
rescued, and he was again forced to retire.
He thereupon summoned citizens to bis aid,
and they succeeded in capturing Anderson,
and taking him before the mayor, sometime
alter night. The parties not being ready for
trial, and the pr.soner refusing to give bail,
his honor ordered him to be kept in close cus
tody till 10 o’clock next day, and immediately
the higher law crowd stepped forward, swear
ing that he should not go to the guardhouse,
and drew weapons. Several citizens were
present who took the side of the law and laid
hold of the prisoner, and a severe scuffle en
sued, till both parties capitulated, aod bail was
given by Ande,son for his appearance next
On the following day Anderson appeared,
when he was fined f 30, and Thomas Shivers,
who had been arrested for rescuing Ander
son, in the first instance, and attempting io do
so again in the-presence of the Mayor, was
fin d S6O.
Being at liberty, however, to go at large,
w.thout the fines being paid, they renewed
their cisorder on Friday night, by mock-sing
mg and praying, loud cursing, aod obscene
language in the streets. They planted a can
non, and fired several rounds in defiance, ma
king die night hideous in the neighborhood,
lhe marshal did not interfere with them on
that night, and they coubilessly thought their
in. ependence bad been recognized by the
city authorities. On Saturday, however, ih
city council believing lhe marshal aud bis as
sisiant insufficient lor me occasion, appropri
ated two hundred dollars for the pay ot a com
pany of twenty-fixe picked men, to act as a
police till the power ol the law could be as
serted. Accordingly, on Saturday night, this
company took the streets, and arrested rhotnas
Shivers.
ris, Campbell, ard George Humphries,
who were iodeed in .he guard bouse till ten
o’clock the tollowing dav, when they were
brought before lhe mayor and council for
trial.
George Humphries was discharged for
want of proof of his participation in the riot,
and the balance were bound over to the next
Supreme Court of DeKalbcounty.
Thus ended, we hope, one of the most dis
graceful scenes which has ever been enacted
tn a civilized community. If Snake Nation
and the higher law dignitaries have not taken
ihe hint from t is small beginning there is a
feeling abroad in lhe community which will
manifest itself tn a more decisive manner.
Page’s Electro-M aghetic Locomotive. —
A large concourse of perso s gathered ai
Washington on Saturday last to witness an
experimental trip of his newly invented pro
pelling power. They were somewhat disap
pointed, as Mr. Page announced to them that
two of the cells in which his batteries were
placed had exploded, but signified his inteniioh
ot making the < xperiment with his crippled
battery The Washington Republic says:
“We had no means ot ascertaining its speed,
but should judge that it was at the rate of
five or six miles an hour, which for an exper
imental trip, with a crippled battery waa doing
remarkably well we think. Indeed we have
hard.y a doubt, from what Professor Page has
already accomplished, that be will, ere long,
attain the successful application of electro
magnetic p< wer to vessels and railway trains

The Weather—Ths Crops.— For some
thing near two weeks back, lhe weather has
been cool and chilly, so much so that at times
we were apprehensive that a killing frost was
brewing, and several mornings within the past
week, particularly on Tuesday morning last,
we had a smart sprinkling of frost. The
cotton that was up and some others of the
more tender species of vegetation, have suf
fired slightly. But the wheat, corn and oat
crops still look well though checked in their
growth by lhe cool weather.—Griffin Union,

Hon. S. W. Harris.—We learn with great
satisfaction from ihe State Guard and Hayne
ville Chronicle, and various other sources,
that this able and faithful public servant is
properly appreciated by his constituents, and
that they are again summoning him with
unanimity to the post which he has lately fill
ed with so much credit to himself and them.
While it is left lor Messrs. Fillmore and
Webiter to reward those who follow their
standard and for unes, let the people of Ala

More of the Storm —The Boston papers
report ihe destruction by the recent gsle of
Minot’s Light House, and the loss of the two
assistant keepers. Reports from Deer Island
s'ate lhat the whole sea wall, built by Govern

away by the force of the sea, and the large
wrsiden building at the end of the Point blown

The difficulties in the Dickinson College,
at Carli-le Pennsylvania, are all happily and
honorably settled. The suspended and dis

being presented to the faculty al the instance
of Hou. James Buchanan.
Pope Water.—The p i-ple of Montgome
ry, Ala , are agitating the question of boring
one or more Artesian wells on Capnol Hill,
wiih a view of supplying lhe city with pur
waler. Dr. C. A. Woodruff, we learn by
■he Alias, has invented machinery by which a
vast saving of expense and time can be real
ized in the boring of Artesian wells It is hie
opinion that water in almost any n rantity can
be had on Capnol Hill, by boring to the depth
of some five or six hundred feet. And that
can be done ai an expense of only about three
hundred dollars—b* lira preanin naarfind of
boring.
If water can be brought to the surface for
three times three hundred dollars, we should
suppose the citizens would not hesitate to se
cure for themselves that greatest of all bles
sings to a city, pure water, and an abundance
of it.
A great Submission meeting has beeu
held tn Mobile. It was composed as we
learn from lhe Register, of the olu and fami

citv for years past, with here and there a de
mocrat, who has been frightened irom his
principles by the near prospect of having to
defend them. meeting adopted the
“Georgia Platform” presented by a Committee
raised fol the purpose. The whole of it was
enthusiastically received, except that nart
which speaks of future resistance, and the
“disruption of ail ties,” Sic. under certain cir
cumstances. These were coldly received.
Our “Northern Brethren" may couat on the
“unionism” of the Mobile Submission Party.
They will submit at all “hazards and to the
last extremity.” Col. Times.
Railcar Collision.—A serious collision
took place on the railroad at Geneva, N. York,

the latter, smashing five cars to atoms and

The Cry of Disunion.
Every coulbern Rights man in the South,
South Carolina included, will sustain the j
Union upon just principles. The submis
sionists are pouring out their fire from behind
the “ masked battery,” the “ cry of Union” to
covertheir maintenance of the Union upon
unjust principles. The real rogue will run
with the crowd and cry stop thief! When a
man’s patriotism dwindles down from a pot to |
a pipkiu, he is very apt to disparage that of his i
neighbor to shield himself. It is not surpris
ing lhat he, in the South, who goes for the
Union at ail hazards and to the last extremity
should endeavor to make it appear tiut his op
ponent goes for destroying the Union without
cause!
The Words of an old Whig
Journal.
The Baltimore Patriot has been as true to
Whiggery as the needle to lhe pole. It al
ters the following truthful statement. Se
ward is triumphant in New York and he and
his followers will prove to be so in all the free
States.
“There can be no doubt that under the lead
of Gov. Seward, a systematic attempt will
now be made to make the repeal of the Fugi
tive Slave Law the test in all elections to Con
gress from the free States. It is a fearful is
sue, but it must be met.”
Sewa d made at the New York Dinner the
most eloquent Union speech we have yet
seene. He is a great gunsman with the “masked
battery! “
Fillinoreisiu.
The Washington Republic, the special or.
gan of Mr. Fillmore, says :
“ But, on theother hand, when we regard"
the proceedings of the corresponding classes
of fanatics at the South, we are inclined to
think that they are little or no better than the
men who denounce the constitution as an
“ atrocious bargain,” and a “compact with
hell.” They are evidently all persons of the
same temper and purposes, and both mean
mischief and anarchy.”
1 ; ... - ,iu reference to Southern
I Rights men, shows the depths of the admin
istration’s hatred of the South, While South
ern sentiment should be like a waveless sea of
Union, we find hundreds and thousands here
joining in this ami-slavery denunciation of
their own brethren ! It is lamentable, awful,
monstrous ! That paper further says :
“So in South Carolina. We think that the
fanatics of II at Stale areas wicked and as
crazv, if possible, as the fanatics of Massa
chusetts. We do not remember that we have
seen anv thing ino-e treasonable and abomi
nable in the sayings and doings of the Philip
ses, Wrights, Parkers and Manns of the ciiy
of Boston, than in those'of the Southern
Rights Associations of South Carolina.
r Would to God our people would think for
t themselves, and not be misled by politicians
who want offices and honors. Just look at a

line, and her reasonable proposition was treat
ed with the contempt. And now.
because she is disposed to resist insult, wrong,
contempt and degradation, earth contains no
spot so bidemts*'as South Carolina-no people
so defoitned, so sinful, so hellish as bars! !
One thing is ceriain, friends are springing
up to sustain her in every
Prejud.ces are w.
respected as a resolute detenmnationiWHl
just cause.
Scull!
This state is the object of much unjust
censure and abu-e. She has been goaded
to desparation by wrongs to which no gallant
people should submit. We have ne'er un
dertaken to become one of her outside advi
sers. Common delicacy has forbid the in
trusion of our advice. One suggestion we
wold make, however, to the othern Southern
Stales.
Let them give South Carolina a fair chance.
If they have any affection for her. if they
would keep her in the Union, let them hold
the Southern Convention. South Carolina
is ready aud willing to go into that. Let that
convention demand of the North, an explicit
acknowledgement of the right of the people
of the Southern states to move to the territo
ries use, and enjoy them with their slave pre
perty, without molestation and difficulty. L* t
them further demand exemption from anti
slavery agitation and injustice, and we be
lieve South Car olina will link her heart, her
hopes, her fortunes with her Southern sisters,
if justice should be done she would be con
tent. Now we believe the South could ob
tain j stice by uniting and demanding it.
The Southern Rights press will sustain the
Convention.
What say the Constitutional Union Press?
Will you sustain the convention to gel jus
tice and preserve the Union? Il you will not,
your mouths should be stopped against re
proaches of South Carolina. Do you want
justice? If you do, let us hold the convention
and get it. Rem mber,a good watch prevents
harm You must know that the North is, at
this momrnt, ashostile to the institution ol
the South as at any former period. You
must know if this hostility progresses, as i*
has done for a few years past, it must des
troy the Union. Away then, with party pre
judices that cover with films the eyes of thou
sands of our people. Let the Southern states
give South Carolina a fair chance, give them
selves a fair chance, and all may be well.
What say the Press of lhe South? Will
they spea' ? Mark the answers. If the
Union Press are found denouncing any such
movement it will prove their recreancy to
Southern Rights.
Slaveholdors, those of you who belong to
the constitutional Union party. Your in
terests are deeply involved. Your property
as matters now stand, is doomed to destruc
tion. The papers of the North, almost with
out exception, now hold that the Union is
stronger than slavemy. This sentiment
is proclaimed every where al the North. IT
IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE. The en
timetit is universal. You can easily see how
it prevents jus.ice being done you. You, of all
people in the South, should be most united
in demanding justice. We appeal to you,
therefore, to befriend yourselves. If you
will, your fellow citizens,who own no slaves,
will stand by you. If you will not sustain
your rights, others will by degrees drop off
from you, and. in the course of t me a large
anti slavery party will rise up around you in
your very mids'. This party with the North
against you wi'l crush you to destruction.
This is plain talk, but it is the honest truth.
Let wise men ponder if

I solemn sense of duty to our country and

pardon us if we make them in all plainness

; The issues upon which the approaching i

■ We purpose, in the progress of the canvass to j

sel the State to slur over the great questions
' before the country, but we tell our readers,
• that unless the Convention called by the
friends with whom we have acted, takes trong
! and decided grounds, the great body of the
Southern Right! party wiii nut feel bound by
its action. The popular mind of that party, has
not yet, thank God. pa-sed under the yoke; its
faculties and energies are yet strong and un
impaired, and we tell our delegates to beware.
Let the Convention speak in no weak or un-
i ce-tain voice. There is no platform unon
' upon which the opponents of the Compromise
; aud its friends can meet, but an acknowledge- j
ment, by the latter, of the perfect equality of •
the South in the Confederacy, and her right to
regulate her own internal policy wi'hout
molestation from the General Government.
Anv other platform would be but a cowardly
capitulation to the enemy. The affinity of
c-arties and party names is no'hing. For our
own part, we prefer that the old issues ot the
Soul hern Rights party, which have been again
and again affirmed and sustained, be newly
declared bv the Convention; for they are the
essence, not only of Democratic principles, but
of State Rights. Let the Convention declare
that whatever powers we have delegated to
the general good, we still concede, but not one
inch more That in maintaining our rights
under the Constitution, we shall sacrifice, it
needs be, not only old party ties and old party
favorites,but the older and dearer favorite— the
ve rv Union itself. And let this voice, at the
same time declare that so dear is the
Union, in our eyes, and so criminal are
those who have periled its safety, either by
direct attacks, or the no less fatal plan of
comp omising irrefragable rights that we wnl
not look cn him who has aided either scheme,
bv his active efforts, or stood by, permitting or
sympathising bv his silence. It this is com
manded and toe behest listened to, contemp
nble time servers woo were atraid to choose
between their country and her opressors when
the storm raged, will again feel the spell, and
me people the prestige of the Constitution.
But it these 'ndispensible considerations shall
be disregarded or compromised—if power
lor the hands of a set of men, and not stability
and vitality for our principles shall be the
..real concern, we had tar belter not meet
at all. -
Troubles of the Submissionists.
The Savannah Republican has been show
ing up what it calls “troubles in the South
ern Rights ca np.” Let us exhibit a little ol
ts own tiggtty iwistification. Il has admitted
that it could hardly hold up its head after the
i.ratt’s and Siiadrach’s cases in Boston.—
I Those cases in its opinion disgraced the city
We saw that it looked towards
from the east in
WroTT of Sims. He was given up and the
Republican tell happy as a poor sinner dream
ing of Heaven. We have exhibited a few
ovidences of its felicity.
On the 2d inst. it said :
“That the abolitionists of the north will still
continue their dirty work, and that the dis
unionists at ihe South will persevere in de
nouncing the law as inefficient, we do not
doubt.”
If it would only put on a pair of spectacles
without glasses, it would be able to see that
the law is inefficient unless the recovery of a
slave, (worth less than a thousand dollars)
at a cost of from five to ten thousand dollars,
makes it efficient.
It is said that a man looses his time even if
he goes early to a bad bargain. It has been
worse with the South for she has lost an em
pire by the bargain She gave an empire to
get back fugitive slaves ata cost much great
er than their value. That paper further
says :
“The patriotic and sensible, however, com
prising a vast majority of th j American peo
ple, will experience a degree of gratification
at the result, seldom felt on any occasion
where merely the enforcement ot a law is
involved.”
It ought to be exceedingly gratifying to the
South to get back her fugitives upon such
terms. If all of Mr. Potter’s property con
sisted in fugitive slaves, worth a million of
dollars, and it took two millions to get them
back, how much would he be worth ! What
a splendid reason for "gratification !” We
shall lock for a new work on finance soon,
the basis of which will be the apparently
heterodox position that it ought to be a source
of gratification to get one dollar ata loss of
two!
The Republican says again :
“It is hoped that the troubled waters will
henceforth be still, and that the people will
rest quiet in the consciousness that they live
under a government possessing lhe will and
the power to maintain its laws.”
No doubt our Savannah eoleinporary would
be pleased to see the people become quiel !
lie lalks about the "troubled being
henceforth still.
All the above was put forth on the 2181.
Now for sjmethmg al sunrise on the 22d.
Yea, in twenty four hours after the above
was published to the world, it discoursed as
follows. It is raving about the denial of
Faneuil Hall to Mr. Webster:
“The cause of these extraordinary proceed
ings is io be found in ihe suuport which the
President and Mr. Webster have given to the
constitution and the compromise. Had they
lent themselves to the agitators, or like Se
ward, exerted themselves to prolong and in
crease lhe excitement wi«h which the North
and South are anke cursed, not only Faneuil
Hu'l but their tiearts would have been thrown
wide open to them.
it is our duly in view i f these proceedings,
to abate somewhat the praise we were dis
posed yesterday to accord to the authorities
of Boston lor the part they iiad taken in tne
recent fugitive slave case. Well has the Bee
remarked—“tbe iff-Ct of the recent decisive
movements on lhe part ot the officers and citi
zens, in carrying out th laws of the land,
has be-n completely destroyed by a majority
ol he aldermen ol B. ston.” that paper re
gards tnese proceed.ngs as “tlie greatest in
still ever offered to the citizens of Boston,”
aud says they have “stamped upon the capilol
ol Massachusetts a di-grace which can never
be blotted out.” Buch is, the language of one
of tnetr own papers, and we are disposed to
think it is merited.”
Now the Republican abates somewhat the
■ ; praise it had bestowed on Bi ston. She is
1 again di-graced.
I The conduct of the people of Boston consti
j lutes a kind ot politico-moral sliding scale lor
i the Republican to roll upon head up intoecsta
| cy,or heels up into a mud hoie. This is an un
pleasant fix to be in and the people of Boston
ought to do one thing, or another, to keep
more permanent posture.
S.iv.u,-.. ■: 1 e-
WJlrof the position taken by Southern rights
men, that tlie South ought to suffer herself
to be no longer befooled by either Northern
canning or Southern folly and imposture.
We would recommend to the Republican to
r ad over again the proceedings of the New
York cotton Southern trade-loving Union meet
ing. That will be a good medicine for it, es
pecially if it will shut its eyes and stop its
> ars against the acts and sayings of almost
the universal North. We feel sorry for our
cotemporary and others who are in the same
box with him.
Col. Albert J. Pickett, ot Alabama, a gen
iiemau ol scholarship and great historical re- j
search, has been engaged for some years in ,
preparing a history of that State. His work j i
will soon be ready for publication. 11
C The obnoxious law of Pennsylvania re
. pealed—l’he legislature of Pennsylvania
i adjourned on Tuesday last. Previous to ad
j journment a bill passed both houses to repeal
i > the obnoxious law of 1847, which denied the i
, f use of the jails of the State for temporary
safe keeping of alledged fugitive slaves. Wei
haven't space to comment uoon 'his inter
esting fact this morning. It is due to the
great State of Pennsylvania however, to say, .
that by this act she has not only wiped a foul '
blot irom her own statute book, but she has I
entitled herself to the respect and thanks of ,
the whole country. —Sav. Republican.
What a tremendous act of patriotism to j
allow a fugitive slave to bo put in a Pennsylva- I
ma jail! Why, we are almost afraid that our |
northern bretlierr, by such acts of liberality I
and kii.dne-s will steal away the very souls !
of some of our Georgia submissionists. The j
souls of some people in Georgia are already
stolen. j
Southern Democracy—The Na
tional Parly—How i* it?
The Nashville Union (Democratic) says:
“ There is, as we think, but one hope of
putting Sewardism down, and that is by the
mass of the democratic power of the country
rallying on the non-intervention platform and
the faithful maintenance of the Compromiie
as it stands as a final adjustment of the sec
tional issues. The leading regular demo
cratic journalism of the north takes this ground.
On this ground the undivided South sltou.d
rally round the democratic banner.”
Against these coalescing elements of sed
ition the sound Union democracy of the North,
marshalled under the lead ot every one of its
great parly chiefs of national name, and cheer
ed on by the collective force of its leading and
influential journalism, has uniled, is uniting,
or will unite and battie to the last in the causi
of good faith io ihe South. 11 th,e South stands
by I hem in lhe contest lhe battle will be won
Is that the plan? What will Georgia
Southern Rights Democracy say toil? Are
they called lo coalesce with the Northern
Democracy again, to win the battle in a Pres
idential fight? And the-proposition is, to
take lhe compromise which they have scorned,
hissed and spit upon, and hug it as a darling
measure of right arid justice! Th're never
was a greater humbug in politic., than this
Northern nonintervention platform. Why,
Geneial Cass, who ran upon it, admits that
1116 South was to be excluded by it from the
Territories. It was non-intervention by name
and nothing else —a kind kind of political
traud, to plaster over Southern honor and give
us an apparent retreat without naked dis-
grace.
This plan of the Nashville Union would con
vert the Democratic Southern Rights party,
in'o a Union compromise submission parly
with no more principle than the present sub
mission party, aud less re-pectability..
won’t take, or we have looked through the
Something for Slaveholders to
Read.
We copy the fellowiug from the New-York
Tribune. It is unnecessary to add a word
of comment - The article speaks for itself,
in its taunting, hissing, poisonous words:
Had the free Stales been manly enough
true enough lo enact lhe Wilmot proviso as to
all present or future ter' itories of the Union
we should have had just about lhe same didoes
cut up by the. chivalry that we have witnessed,
and with, no more damage to the Union.—
Whenever secession shall be seriously 'hreai
ened because of Northern resislance to slave
ry extension, we shall see that the slave
holders are not all the people of the Southern
States nor a majority of them, though they
now seetn not to realize it. In slavebreeding
Maryland and Virginia, two thiras of the
legal voters would to-day prefer the Union
without slavery, to slavery wilhoul lhe Union.
And this sentiment is just ripening in all the
Southern States, with three or four exceptions.
Abolitionists Petitioning for Mr. Web
stek. —We find the following curious para
graph in the Boston Journal:
“ A petition was presented yesterday by J.
P. Jewett and fourteen others, freesoilers, re
questing the Mayor and Aidermen to recon
sider their voe, and not to be influenced by
the recent action of the board in refusing
Faneuil Hail for thefreesoil convention. The
petitioners say they would be happy to assist
the officers of the law in securing the utmost
freedom of soeech and the quiet and good or
der of the city.”
The New-York Day Book, noticing the
refusal of the use of Fnneuil Hall to Daniel
Webster, by the city fathers of Boston, says,
“It is a pity Daniel’s hair is not kinky—then
he conld speak any where in Boston and on
any thing.”
The Meditated Attack on Cuba.—
Speaking ot the prevalent rumors on this sub
ject, the New York Commercial Advertiser of
Tiiursday says :
•‘lt is impossible as yet to ascertain correct
ly the extent of the preparations made, if any
hsve indeed been seriously entered upon, for
a second attempt to disturb Spair. in the pos
session of the island of Cuba. The idle
boastings ot some Southern journals, ard the
bold hoaxes practised by one paper in this
city, on the eve of tbe former attempt, taken
in connection with lhe full contradicii n in the
miserable issue ol thai vaunted project, neces
sarily desiray all confidence in the renewed
eclamation about the Cubans being prepared
to shake off'the Spanish yoke, and so over
flowing with revolutionary zeal that they are
determined to ‘be the first to strike the biuw
for their own freedom ’ We can only say
that the Cubans, according to the papers
which are so Josi to all sense of nations, hon
or as to defend the invaders, are wondrousiy
inactive, and all this talk about revolutionary
impatience, and seem to be as far from striking
any blow, except at the invaders, as th?>
were when Gen. Lopez’s misguided fforde
had so remarkable a specimen ot iheir readi
ness to cooperate in revolutionizing the Is
land.”

Mr. Calhoiia’s Opinions.
No man in the United^.lei tuttw acquired
a higher auiliodiy-DV-r opinion than Mr. Cal
n,mn—not eXen Mr. Jefferson. No man’s
opinions haye been so frequently enacted into
law and remain <»n ’lit? bfani p bonk. Mr.
Calhoufi aced j-oh • tinea with e pa-ty and
st mrfimes wilt. atm.tier, but always a-a ead
er? When the war of 1812 was declared, Mr.
Calhoun made the r port to the House
Twiten the late Bank ol ihe United Slates was
chartered, the act was framed in accordance
"with the
in opposition to tl.e p.evn.u project. When
the censure of ihe benate was pronounced on
General Jackson for removing the deposits,
the resolution was in Mr. Calhoun’s
words. When lhe sub- treasury was
propr-aed, its principal feature, lhe specie
clau e, was the work of Calhoun He gave
orc ?r efficiency and ecor my to the Depar.-
mrn or War, when h presided over it.
VV,-e . Secretary of Stale, he conducted the
m,negation of Texas, and indicated the basis
j- settling the Oregon question, which had to
tc inlopted.
Whenever Mr. Calhoun’s opinions were in
a-cordance with the policy of others, they
were quoted, and extolled to extravagance.
But wit n they we e adverse, no man en
countered i-o muc , invective. Scribblers of
every degree, but particularly those whose
pretensions to thought, reason, knowledge,
politics'or phio-opby, were so infinitessim illy
minute as to be beyond the poweof decimal ex
pression, have attempted to acquire uoti'-e fc by
the noise and animosity of their attacks on
him—besides some whose only claims to no
tice were founded on former professions of
his doctrines—professions which constitued
ttieir only claimsto be read. •
When M . Calhoun offered the resolution
that every State on its admission into the Uu
ton, had a right to choose its institutions, no
lavor was accorded to it by his opponents
The Wilmot Proviso was then the favorite.
When it was afterwards found that, owing to
ihat movement of the North, the people of the
South had been determed from colonizing
California, and that it was in the possession ol
Northern men, so that tiie Wilmot Proviso
was secured, then all were for Mr. Calhoun’s
doctrine—it was the true doctrine, the only
doctrine. The right "of forming their own
institutions was so sacred and potential, that
it extended to every sort of inhabitants or oc
cupants ofa territory, and authorized them to
take as much of it as they pleased. Mr. Cal
houn, it appearo at length, did not understand
his own resolution, lie declared that lhe ad
mission of California as was proposed and was
finally done, to he wor-e than the Wilmot
Proviso—m re fraudulent and more insulting
for insulted it the understanding as well as the
feelings otirhe «St>uth. Bui the holy allies o ag
gression and - übeniasion stoutly insisted they
were going .<» transfer lhe territory to the Nonh
Mr. Calhc uu's principles, and that he did noi
understand them —o had descr.ed them;
But lhe musi . ingular use of Mr. Calhoun’s
pinions, or rather ol Ins name, that we have
vet seen, has been by General Hamilton in his
recent letter to tl.e people of Billion, South
Carolina,explaining why lie oid not deliver a
eulogy there on Mr. Calhoun: General Hamil
un says Mr. Calhoun did not contemplate the
separate secession of South Carolina. Well
that i- no doubt very true. No body whilst
Mr: Calhoun lived did, for it was not until
long alier his death that the events occurred
of the retreat of the other Southern States
from the position they hud assumed. Mr.
Calhoun contempla t'd no such thing as that.
He would have scorned to speculate on such a
hypothesis. He therefore express no opin
ion on such a contingency, n uGeneral Hain
a favorite notion o! Ins own in the fact that Mr.
Calhoun expressed no opinion about it.
It Mr. Calhoun had ived, tie would doubt
less have foimed and expressed an opinion
on the present emergency. But to invoke
his authority on one sine or theotiier in South
Carolina,ou lhe ground that lie never expres
sed an opinion on ihe subject, is an eu'.i.ely
n< w exploit in the art of persuasion
We should not have referred to this subject
at ail, but lor tlie general notice taken ol
General Hamilton’s letter in the Northern
aud submission papers' '•early all of them
volun nrily fail into the conclusion which the
adroit language ol Gen ral Hamilton was de
signed to indicate—that because Mr. Cal
hotiti had sa d nothing about a contingency
not expected to happen, therefore he would
have done nothing.
We have abstained fr< in expressing eny
opinion on the course for South Carolina to
pursue. She has been deserted, thus far, by
all those State-,excep; Mississippi, which en
tered into tne common pu-dg- a ot mutual ai
and concert. It would be mdelicaie in other
States to advise her, much less for individuals.
The question is a differ nt one now with her,
from what it was to the other Southern stales
tha : have submitted. They would not have
acted aione, if they had acted stall, for they
kn • . ihut South Carolina was ready to co
operate. They had todecide the question ol
ii sis’auce witli cc-operation. She has to de
c.d ■ for or against resi-taiice, without co-op
• ihisnr. They had tn d'--<-rm:nc whether they
w eld redeem the pledge made in common
w tii otters. South Carolina has no pledge
to others to redeem except so far as Miss
issippi may act, and there is no difference of
op mon in South Carolina, as to her course in
that event.
The great question now belongs to South
Carolina for herself. And no Slate has more
sagacity, courage, prudence, and good sense
than sue has todecide it.
