TEMPORARY SECESSION.
Sept. llh 1850

This is The latest improvement in The plan of dsuhIon Mr.
Rhe who aloes in The name Of traitors he understands
it, recommends tempoy secession, as The proper lhihg
Just now. .
Il is quite evident that there method in the madness of
these heroic persons and faculty of calculation in respect
10 other things than The value Of the Union Temporary
secession is 10 experiment 1t may be wen 10

curious TO know the sensations of man under process o
being hanged In the latter ease, however, unfortunately
happened that the experiment went loo far and The world

TemporarU secession, may presune is intended as
sort of trance species Of paayzed animation, stale oil
somnambuIism, in which the patient goes tar enough TO-

eons beyond Mr. Rhett and his associate practitioners
have been administering chorOfum in political way very
assiduousy for time past with view to prepare he
State Of South Carolina for successful trial of her capabl
tiles in the way of seeing visions and dreaming dreams
We must regard the idea oftemporay secession as most
bappy conception. 1t plays round the precincts 0l treason
and all the fascna,ons Of danger without any rlsk oome
reckless vutares who know the secret may indeed 90 TOO

porary secession is dgnied isolation, and would mean
not that South Carolina had absolutely cut her acquaintance

has great deal of thinking to do and takes her time o IT,
Or p0ssby remembering the advice of Hamlet in auslon
to Pounius she may be of the opinion that when one

The door and play it nowhere but in his own house.
