Our excellent institutions are III no danger
from such men. The people of this great ma.
ton have too long enjoyed the advantages OF
the Union, and too well understand the impor-
tance of preserving it, to be led away by the
schemes of demagogues and factionists. De-
votion to the Constitution, love of the Union,
obedience to law, are sentiments deeply cher
ished by all good citizens. These sentiments,
united with the indomitable energy which inhe-
rently belong to the nglo.American race, can
not, in spite of all obstacles, external and inter-
nal, fail to carry us as nation and people to
that sublime position of greatness and power to
which, under experimenting Providence, we
are destined
Not content with e1tolIing these iniquitous mea-
sures to the skies, the editors Of this compromise
and submission Organ, have attempted to cast
their contemplate slang at those men who are de-
termined to resist their wrongs and assert their
rights at every hazard and to the last extremity.
The following extract from the Lowndes coun-
ty (Ala.) Chronicle shows plainly that Congress
has done little ton MUCH:
'The South could never have been excluded
from the enjoyment of the California territory,
but for the ratification by Congress the trick
cry and fraud practised upon her in the social
ed California Convention. The Constitution
of California contains clause of slavery pro-
hibition in it, which effectually excludes the
South therefrom. That Constitution was rat
fled and endorsed by the Congress of the Uni.
ted States, it is therefore, by the act Of Con
eress, that the South is excluded from fair and
just enjoyment of the territory acquired from
Mexico, to which, in the language of the Sen
ate of Alabama, "the people will neversubmit."
We hope the day is not yet come, when the
people of the Southern country will be made to
eat their own words. We pray that the spirit
of the fathers of '7G is not yet extinct but may
it be rekinded in the hearts of the hardy sons OF
the South, and rouse them to a sense of the du-
ty they owe to themselves, their homes and
families, aud urge them on to vindication OF
their just and dearest rights
Also in contradistinction to that spirit of blind
idolatry which worships the Union" that Union
which has pundered their fathers is plundering
them, and will, if permitted, plunder their descen-
dants" for all time to come We copy the follow
ing from the Wilmington (N c. Aurora:
but there prevails in this Republic at this
time the most stupid and ridiculous of all wor.
ships Word-porship. 1t is most clearly seen
in the devout reverence paid to the simple word
Union, and the fear and trembling created when
any danger menaces it. 1t has been perfect
political talisman, and is yet to a considerable
extent. If it cannot coujure ghost, it can,
when sounded, excite the hallelujahs of millions

Aztees, the priests of the idol demanded the
blood of the worshipper, he devoutly submitted
himself to the knife, happy to be honored with
the sacrifice so now in the Southern section
of this Republic there are tens of thousands who
shout for Union which has plundered their
fathers is now plundering them, and, if permit.
ted will plunder their descendants still more
In the view of such blockheads, all men who
are bold enough to disregard ncorals, and look
ut things are heretics, traitors. and blasphemers.
Missis.irni
Will be true to the mark We find the follow
ing in the Carolinian of Tuesday:
1.-The Mississippian, published at the seat of
government of that gallant State, in urging ac-
ton on the part of the South and enumerating
the States that will promptly unite in defence
of the rights of the South, pays the following
compliment to our own State:
"South Carolina--eptitled to the very first
honors which history can awards silent, but
prepared. The scoff at her is her crown!--
Amidst the twelve hundred millions of the earth
the South Carolinians have no equals in their
knowledge of their rights, and in their spirit to
defend them. YetSouth Carolina did not cause
the Mississippi movement. Not at ALL But
she approved it. Misunderstood and traduced |
she, with becoming composure, awaits the &C.

Alabama.
The Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser of the 23d
inst. contains call upon the Governor signed by
1853 gentlemen ofDallas and Lowndes counties to
convene the Legislature of that State ip an extra
session, for the purpose of calling convention of
the people, to adopt such measures as a due re-
gard for the honor and the constitutional rights of
the South demand The address concludes with
the following sentence: "We feel that the time for
argument and remonetrance have passed: that
