The SOUTH
st an early he

.on's first Cabinet-n spirit has oeeh rdihPa"' !"
onr public affairs, styling itself the south ana
demanding that the whole nation should tail down
and worship whatever craven images 1t chose to |.
e,up The South must have the Tariff upset !
and III Protective Duties abolished; The South
uould not allow any appropriations @. Public Mo-
new. even when the Treasury ovecfiowing, to
clear out Rivers and improve Harbors the South
would allow nothing whatever TO be done IN ard OF
Canals and Railroads Of the first national import
snce the South must have the Sub Treasury
scheme adopted, since that, 1t was cyphcred out
would diminish the money value oil Northern pro
ducts without affecting that Of Southern, winch is
SAID to be governed by Hard Money prices abroad
the South mast have all petitions relating IN any
manner to Slavery kicked out of Congress the
South must be allowed to revoutollizc. and then
TO annex Texas, for purposes purely ana aVo"ed'y
Southern. and at last 10 enter upon general cr''
SADIE for the propagation OF Slavery through Mex
co, by cannon. shot and sabrc.cut, in short, the
South must be allowed to DO everything they
ples.ed, and make the North do likewise, and all
for objects in which the North could ice no ie6hs'
mate intercst--noy, wherein It's interest must be
entirely adverse to the policy forced upon 1T
Thus the South carried the day nt Baltimore ana
nominated an obscure and insignificant man iof
pra.ident-not because she cared for him, or deem
ed him deserving Of the station but simply because
be was regarded rs trusty adhercnt to the policy
OF the South
This thing has been INTO the ground as such
are apt to be. Tho revolt OF NEwHAMPsHlKE' SO
long blndly subscrvient to Southern dictaton' was
an omen which the wise could hardly iail to under
stand Yet with all the power III It's hands-the
President the two most Influential places IN the
Cabinet unlimited patronage, bounteous Treas
nry. Slaveholding majority in the Senate and
eight out Of nine Foreign Mmiaters, the game was
pnshed on and the Country ,nvo'vcdln an ntrocous
War calculated to extend still farther tho terito;!
and SWAY OF the ruling interest, All at once the
IA bo,tom has fallen out of the whole concern Inc
D strain upon it has been too great TO be endured
and though apparently firm to the last the last has
Transformed every thing. Tho Treasury rs bank
rupted by the Mexican War and tue len Millions
of new Shinplastcrs will hardly preserve II from
protest till Congress eau meet again three months
hence The War so expensive and SO inelorous,
has outlived its popularity The North and Centre
vince at the overthrow OF the Protective Policy ,
the West is chagriued at the most lame and I'M
potent conclusion of the Oregon buster and rem
dered rebellious by the Veto OF the Harbor Bill
The sceptre OF the South is broken its dominion
will soon be among things lost to earth The m
nense patronage in the hands OF Polk may or may
not suffice TO patch mp matters ouwsrdy tor or'ei
,eason but the spell is dissolved forever, The next
Loco Foco National Convention will no innate a
. Northern man for President 1t will soon begin to
be rediscovercd and proclaimed by tho Northern
crncles Of the dominant party that Democracy and
Slavery are by no means identcal-in fact that
they are in some respects antagonists. The asccn
dency Of the Athortons Clitiords and c, j. lnger
soils Mt the North--thc day of Gag Laws OF pro-
Slavery mobs aud Post office robberies "a dcfence ot
the Union--is over,
But we had intended to direct our Northern
readers attention rather to the wide disparity be
tween this arroeant, sraspmg Overlooking spirit
which sr,lcs itself the South and the Southern
States-at least great portion ci them The
present attitude of NORTH CNRotlNA affords n Tor
chile illustration OF this That State is situated IN
the very heart OF the old Sout'-the South OF ash
ncton Jefferson and the men OF the Revolution
She is proverbialy steady in her attachments firm
in her principles and little liable to be urged hither
and thither in chase OF the willie wiSps OF intrigue
and ambition Enclosed between Virginia and
South Caroins their influence upon her must natu-
rally be considerable and all in favor of the new
Gsht ians,ical spiri, OF Slavery extension which
claims 10 be the South All this Texas drama has
passed before her eycs-her Whis Members OF
Congress have fought against Annexation boldly
maniuly and an Nt,emp, TO instruct her Senators 70
sustain Annexation voted down in her LcSis
laturc by clear and full Wig vote. Al her Wig
Members have struggled against the Tariff OF 10
Er>.f LAST Of .b
measures represented dear 10 the South
We, her Election is held, and what is the result, !,
Whig Governor BY majority OF some t or 5000
double his majority o!ls+l-anda Legislature Wing
IN both branches BY which the places OF Messrs
Mansum and Haywood Will De filed with two lie,
cided Whiss-a gain OF orc. \ better than Mr.
Mansum could hardly be found. Does this prove
nothing We nigh, speak OF the equally decisive
Whis victory in NENrrcxr but she is hardly re
cosni.ed by the South Slave State, snd is ex
pected to go Whis matter OF course. With
North Carolina the case is different
What may we fairly infet nom all this Ne,
.bs. the South o. the Wings OF the SoQtl. regard
Slavery as we do or ress, the Annexation o, Texas
nm nrecisely the same grounds Yc, ne 30 believe
that the sober Intelligent Judgment OF North Caro-
Ina i. not in favor OF an extension OF our Slave
tsrritory-does not regard with favor the policy
which has involved us in War with Mexico. Al
home and in the affairs OF their own State her pee
plewii not tolerate any dicaoral interference nom
the Free States with their Slave holding, however
vicious they may privately regard it. They choose
to be left to manage tina, matter in their own way,
But they do no, sympathise with the rampant
schco! Of the other Carolina which regards Slavery
as the cornerstone Of our Republican editce and
its extension and fertilization as the cardinal points OF
our National policy They take a different view
Of the matter altogether. and are no more offended
that the People OF the Free States love universal
Liberty and dislike Slavery saan we are at them
