'wooly republic" at the North. how goriousIy
the affairs OF this great country would float along Men
who are now only local demagoguss would rise 10 the
exalted dignity OF heads OF the respective nations II
they cannot elevate themselves 10 the highest posts in
the Union, they must cut the Union down to their own
litte Insignificant influence This is their motive their
object, their hope. To this end are they struggling.
This is the secret OF their mutual concentrations, Of the
"sweet connses they take together" of their insey-
woolsey curtain Of separation drawn between the North
and the Souha icooen face one side, cotton face
on the other!
We cannot seriously contemplate such state Of things
as this without anxiety st possible that public feeling
IN South Carolina is so morbid to take pleasure in this

great meeting in New York should make its slanderers

is exhibited in New York. outrageous attempt is
made depecate its motive Can there be any other
purpose than ALLEVIATE the South from the Norh-o sep
lists paving the way for dissolution of the Union and
the establishment Of southern confederacy! We have
seen nothing ominous Of this design the cotton
scheme Of the Southern Press to sympathze with the
peaers Of the fugitive law, this ungenerous attempt
Of the Charleston Mercury TO calumniae the meeting at
New York. We resisted some months ago the idea Of
there being dsunions per in the United States. and
find difficult 10 reconcile ourselves to the belief that
there is Systematic attempt dissolve the Union But,
unfortunately, the signs are multiplying upon US.
