INDICATIONS AT THE NORTH OF HOSTILITY
no TIE SoUrH-The Northern e Unionis'S,"
par rrce!irnce, IS the bitter enemies Of! South
ern rights at the North arroganhy and falsely
STYLE themselves, are employing various and
highly characteristic modes OF expressing their
hate for the States and people of the South
We commend their acts ard suggestions to
their allies in the South, who are so continual
ly echoing the SANDERS and sympatiizing in the
nurnuses of these hioh-mndcd patriots. We
observe that one of these manifestations of en-
mity TO the Southern States consists i'll the de-
facement of the stone which had been contrbu
ted by South Carolina to the monument to be
erected by the people of the United States to
that most illustrious of Southern men and slave
holders-George Washington. This deed OF
vandalism is worthy of those who have con-
cocted the still more vaudalic act Of destroying
this Union, by their interference with the rights
and institutions of the South, guaranteed by the
compact under which this Union was formed.
Another manifestation of hostility to the
South we observe in a quarter from whch
more honorable and just spirit was to he ex'
pected. We refer to the Philadelphia Ledger
"a paper of vast circulation, and generally OF
moderate views. In this journalit is stated that
MIR. Walsh will be removed from the CONSUL
ship in Paris OH account of his attachment 10
Mr.. Calhoun and his pro-slavery opinions: lhe
writerfu further suggeststhat Mr.. Clemson, Charge
to Belgium, and son-in-law of the illustrious pa
triot Of South Carolina, ought to be removed
for like reason, as he is known to be devoted
to Southern views
This suggestion is thrown out by one who
appears to be familiar with afairsln Washing
ton. We hope, for the sake of the peace OF the
States and of the Union that it may have no
other foundation than in the speculations OF
Washington letter.writer. Should it prove true;
and arule OF action like this be established at
Washington. that men Of the South are to be
prescribed, ostracised for their devotion to their
own homes and iresides, and to those rights
without which those homes will be converted
into scenes of desolation and debasement, we
regard the peril, which even now begins to dar-
ken in the future as near and imminent. And
vet is not this but one step beyond the doctrine
so extensively maintained at the North, which
contemplates excluding the South from all par
tcipation in the advantages OF the new terrific
nv, acquired by the joint valor and labor OF all
the States-a pretension not abandoned even ny
many OF those who supported the late compro.
mise lilll The absorption Of all the common
territory fthe Union by the North renders but
one step further necessary to complete the en-
.slavement and rostration OF the South, and that
we find in this suggestion to exclude all South
,ern pro-slnrcry men from office. Under such
circumstances as these, in the face of such man.
ifestations of bitter enmity towards the South
ern people aud States = an enmity which has
no other p!etext but tine determination OF the
South to resist the unnumbered wrongs and in
suits vh.chayarice and i&nsticism are accumu.
7FIatng upon her head. it becomes all true sons
of the South to, rally to- the defence OF :her
rights, and to hurl scorntul defiance at those
who wonld pervert this Union OF equal and So
vereign States into an instrument OF oppression
of the weaker by the stronger sectio'iof the
Coufederacy.-N 0. Delta.
