It would be inpossiblesWi,bin the limits
of a single article, to embrace in ourIe:
marks all the questions connected with
the matter before US. But the period, we
repeat is athand, when it itbecomes 10 avow
the un nalterable will and resolution of The
people of the South to resist at every haz-
ard encroachmenls upon their constituuon-
| al rights. We donol;imean to'threaten what
we are not prepared 10 carry out. EBul
lbe South has too long suffered itself 10 be
vexed and excited with the discussions
ofques.ions which,should never have been
made by the abolilioniJts at The North, to
cast this fire brand into the deliberations
Of Congress, whenever they could DO so,
have been tolerated long enough. and we
rejoice 10 see a portion CT least rof'the
Southern Press denouncing these efforts as
they deserve. Fear perhaps of alternating
this or that faction, may keep for a time'
many papers at The South silent on The
|.momentuus subject we have treated of;
but ere long they will discover, that the
true path OF duly is that which the>great
statesman of the South has indicated for
all tbs friends of.Southern Institutions to
follow. Under his guidance and direction
the South need not fearfgoing astray. In
lime past we have .rnstedrhim, and shall
we hesitate:nowas He has admonished Us
oftheinpending danger, and upon our own
heads will rest the responsibility of anJ
untoward issue from the events which are
in the womb Of The future. ~ s'
Letit not be said thatwe are premature
in urging consideration upon any portion
Of this subject. We telllthel people Of tho
South that the peril is ilnminent; that un.
less they are fully aroused ito a sense of
the dangerous position rhey'occapy, they
will be made to suffer; and this beautiful
Union, reared by the hands Of our fathers
aad cemented with their blessings. made
10 'crumble and fall.
or this, however, We are assured, that
ifneither The Wing nor Democratic parry
in the South will do its duty in the mailer,
a party can be found, rha, will maitain the
rights Of the South, free and unrestricted |;
at its head should il be necessary, a Man
can he placed whose fidelity 10 our iu,e.
rests, has been the great beauty Of his po.
lilical life. We have faith in the masses.
We believe in their honesty and con6de
intheir independence, and until they prove
false and recreant, we shall not despair df
the Union. ..a.-f:.
Before closing this article we would
refer 20 the resouti ions passed at the recent
meetings in Charleston. and in his city,
in regard TO the action 10 Congress upon
the ",WiImol Proyiso," which were adop-
Ted unanimously. They breathe The true
spirit; the spirit which should aow ami
mate every rejecting son ofthe South; the
spiri. which when danger turks at every
slep. points out, and prepares The threa.
tened to meet it, and ifpossihle toovercome
it. In every sentiment contained m those
resolutions we heartily concur, aud we
would that the entire South would adopt
them. 80,
