How much better will all this be, than an III
glorious submission to constitutional remedes!-
How glorious the results of quarrelling for prira-
ciples, with people who unfortunately cannot
comprehend them! What terrible punishment
will it be for the vile Yankees to witness such
prosperity and honor flowing in upon the disciples

nations, if as some have proposed Caro-
lima should JOIN some European power. and more
