South Cardinals bark IS much worse

and cause the hoarse and croaking
tones Of Nullifcalion 70 die away
until they would become as quiet as
zephyrs which fan the Covers OF a
May evening. In ruth we have so
firm and unsuitable convicii0nof the
cowardice Of any State which keeps
up such an eternal buster as she does
that we believe a few regiments OF
our ragged and carnivorous militia,
could storm every outpost and capture
every company which South Carolina
could raise 10 defence Of her ridicu-
lOus doctrines Of Notification.
South Carolina manilests as much
facilities ia throwing of one principle
and assuming another, as a dandy does
in changing his coats; One day she
swallows a political axiom, smacks her
thick lips over il and says il is delicious,
and on the next she vomits il up with
into toIerables lOaihiog and sickness Of
stomach. Witness her course 10 1886,
and 1897. In 1886, her Legislature
resolved unanimously that National
bank was indispensable to the welfare
ofIhe nation, and in 1887, il again
unanimously resolved that a National
bank would undoubtedly ruin TIE
the country, which wear before they
said il would bless. Did she change
her opinions so totally in one short
year ? No--she has no opinions.
Ia the result OF her thinking, she new
er rises above the dignity Of notions,
aud they are as tickle as The complex
ion Of a chameleon The cause Of
this change 10 her notions with res
pect to a National bank is to be found
in the fact that John G. Calhoun, who
does the thinking for South Carolina
saw ct, on bis journey to Washington
TO attend the extra session called by
Van Buren,, to throw all his previous
ly expressed opinions Of the utility Of
a National bank overheard ald 10 come
a rank convert to the SUb-Treasury
scheme Of finance. That miserable
State is exactly as responsive to Cal
houn's opinions as the keys Of a piano
are to the touches ola master perform
er. The master says black is white,
and instantly an echo comes from all
Carolina swearing that black is white.
II il should please Calhoun to adopt
the views Of old Miller about the
destruction Of the earth next April,
South Carolina would Immediately get
under big tent, and with paliid cheek
and rolling eyes await the approach
OF the fatal day. There cannot be
conceived Of a greater and more sla-
wish compliance on the part Of State
with the will Of one man. IfCalhoun
should announce himself as the tenth
apatar Of the Hindoo god, or as the
body in which the second coming Of
the Messiah is TO manifest ITSELF all
his worshippers in Carolina would
Immediately and unhesitatingly believe
him AID follow him. In fact be could
not announce any absurdity too mon
slfous Cor the faith Of his State. She
will believe anything he says, or DO
anything he wills her to do. Never
was such an obpdienI slave seen on
earth, and when he dies. il it should
please him TO shuttle of his mortal
coil, we have no doubt every palmetto
will be hung in black and be will be del.

old Rome.
Notwithstanding her sIayish devo-
ton to Calhoun, Carolina has some o
the instincts MISREPRESENTATION remain

any demand on the National forbear
ance which will not be yielded. Il
this, however, she will be mistaken
