n"CHIVALRY AND FANATICISM.

The Kulherlurd Banner, feeling, no
doubt, the justice Of The rebuke we admin-
istered 10 deride The chivalry of South
Carolina, makes an awkward effort in its
las, number 10 escape from The position
into which it had so foolisbly gone. 1t
says now, that it only meant to ridicule
The "fanaticism" ot South Carolina. I'm
fortunately for the Banner, the record is
against it; The number Of that paper Of The
23l May has been published, aud in i,
stands the article alluded to, in all its
imbeclity. "What is writ, it writ"
But what does The Banner mean by The
"fauaicism" Of South Carolina! Do the
editors mean to describe it when thew
prate about The course tina, South Carroll
na is pursuing, as being dangerous 10 The
Union aud The best interests of mankind"
and when they describe the end of thai
course as being "the dissolution of our
Union, the consequent overthrow of our
national greatness, and the. destruction OF
our liberties and dearest privileges 2"
These are truly words Of awful import,
and we'll calculated to (rghten nervous
old ladies aud pale livered gentlemen; bul
fortunately for the country, The. facts they
are intended to represent, exist no where,
except in The distempered braius of The
Edilors Of the Banner: Soulb Carolina
is not crushing madly on"-she is not aim
ing al "a dissolution of The Union." She
sees danger mcnacing her institutions aud
her liberty; and her sous, in The true spirit
offrcemen, are sending forth The voice Of
remonsIrance and warning. Whut is she
doin2 more than Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi? See The movements of their
people in their primary assemblies. And
whaI is she doing more than Virginia is
doing ? See the bold aud patriotic re-
solves that passed lhe Legislature of the
lulter, with such singular unaninlily. Iu.
deed, South Carolina (as she herself de-
clafes) is ouIy .folIowns The lead Of Vir-
ginia. Hear her in the following resolution.
adopted in her meeting of delegates at
Columbia on the 18Th May last:
rs. ResoLued, That we do concur in
aud adopt The resolutions which have twice
been confirmed by the Legislature of Vir.
gina, as containing the clearesl exposition
OF The rights aud duties Of The several
States, feeling and believing that she will
be firm and resolule in maintaining what
she has announced with so much Wisdom
and delibera,on; aud that the liberties,
honor and interests Of the slave holding
s-Staies will be safe under her iead."
And the Banner calls these movements
