Tor prevail too much in the bosom of every
true Carolinian to think OF that. A log roll
ling policy in our rational legislation on the
part OF one section, combined with the mo-
nopolizing cupidity Of another, both effecting
robbery of the planter, and total prostra-
ton of his prosperity, may do much to elicit
virtuous indignation, but can never drive
such citizens to an act of treason. Goaded

But, UNNECESSARILY removed as is the soul
Of the South above the depth of infamy, to

Of South Carolina affords infinite delight and

who adored the foe as the " bulwark of our
holy religion" and gravely resolved, in le-
gislative assembly. that " il was unbeccming

grand results of American magnanimity,
generosity and justice and of the benign in
