THE SoUTHERS REMEDY.-lt is truly cheer
ing to every patriot heart to behold the many
unmistakable evidences, that are given forth IN
various sections Of the South, of the almost en-
tire unanimity that prevails amongst the people,
as to the dangers that are ready to befall the
rights, the equality and domestic institutions Of
the Southern States of the Confederacy. These
indications shew that not only those, who are
termed leaders of the people, but that the people
themselves--the unseliish, upcorrupted masses
ARE being fully aroused 10 the Importance OF
the present crisis and its momentous consequence
to themselves and their posteriiy. And like
unanimity prevails as to the necessity OF adopt
ing some effective inca e Of resisting the usur-'
pations of the North, and her inroads upon the
Federal Constitution and the Union. The spirit
Of resistance--the spirit OF l776-!las taken fast
hold upon the popular mind, and will not be
allaycd until their liberties and institutions are
made permanently secure from all further mo-
lestation. 1t is true there are a few craven
hearts in our midst, who are ready to bow the
neck in .abject slavish submission to the heavy
hand Of the oppressor and who would cringe
and fawn and lick the rod that is raised to smite
them, rather than incur the fancied dangers of
resistance. Thank God there are but few such
in South Carolina. The vast body ofthe people
ofthis State and of the whole South are resolved
to resist at all hazards and "by force Of arms"
il need be. The Northern oppressor will never,
no never De permitted To trampie our rights ahe
liberties beneath his impious feet. And that
