The Charleston Courier is the only paper in
South Carolina that has hitherto been neutral
on the great questions of the day. 1t has been
like an iceberg in the tropics--but can stand it
no longer, and grows warm: t aa
Our neighbors of the Sun, in their paper of
yesterday, take exception TO our remark that no
absolute demonstration of resistance had Us
yet been made to the execution of the fugitive
law. We would have supposed that any one,
reading our article, would have seen that our
meaning was that no actual force had yet been
used of such character as to authorize the u.
s. Marshal to call on the military arm for assist
ance
We are not so blind as not TO see and feel
that demonstration" have been made, are in
progress, and will doubtless be continued, TO in
terrupt and prevent the execution OF this law,
Of such character as to compel every citizen
of the South to bring his mind to the conclu-
sion that the question must be brought TO
speedy issue. The editors of the Sun need not
be in the least alarmed rs to our position. The
Courier knows its duty to the State, and to the
South, and, when the people, either in their Lie.
gislatiye or Conventional character, shall decide
on the mode to be adopted to relieve themselves
from the insults and aggressions of Il reckless
majority, it will be found as firm and unyelding
in the canse, as if its columns had teemed for
years with denunciations against such unustfa-
BILE assaults. Although the Courier was known
TO the whole country as an uncompromising
Union paper, during the perilous times of multi
hcation-and, were the same battle to be again
fought, would still wear the Union FLAG at its
mast-head--still we will not allow it to be in
ferred on that account, that we are disposed to
submit to every insult and wrong because it
may be perpetrated in the name of "the Union"
We hold the aspect Of public affairs to be
entirely changed, and to be such, in view of
Northern aggression OH Southern rights and
interests, as to call for decisive action on the
part of the South, and new and full measure
Of duty on the part of her sons. We fully
admit the right of the State to Secede when the
guarantees of the Constitution are violated, and,
in such event, to command the exclusive allie
glance Of her sons.
In truth, and in plain terms, a careful and
anxious observation of the progress of events
has brought us to the conviction that a diSSoia-
ton of The Union is inertable, unless the course
of legislation in Congress- and the Northern
States, should be retrogressive, of which we
have little or no hope ..f&t s-
We have said thus much in order that those
who are not blind may know where we are
While our columns are, rs they ever have been,
open to any temperate discussion of this subject,
we do not ourselves now intend to descant upon
it, in other manner than to keep our renders i'll
formed of passing events. .-g 49,.
We truly consider the argument exhausted"
and the time fer "action" at hand. 1t is the
province and duty of our Legislators to point
out the course to be pursued. That once done,
the People will carry out their behests.

A QUESTION LOOKING SoUrH--What do tn
Southern Press, at Washingto on, and the Charles
ton Mercury, mean by denouncing the recc'tl
Union meeting at Castle Garden, and imputing
humbug and deception TO that movement Thi,
is precisely an imputaton of the same character
as that which the Abolitionists here of the Norll
charge against the mel who got up that assem-
bIage. The Tribune, Evening Post, and New
York Sun--all the Abolition or niger organs
of various grades--denounce that meeting n
deception, humbug, cotton, corduroy, and what
not. Are our contemporaries in Washington and
in South Carolina determined TO put down al
the efforts of those at the North who have the
interests and rights of the South at heart, and
who are fighting their battles here at IN awful
rate IN Y. Herald.
We recognize no regard for the South, or ever
for justice in those who support the late Com.
promise bills We expect such to be waiting
only for another Opportunity for plumber and
have no ambition to become their dupes as well

The question is settled. The Seward candidate
for Governor, endorsed by Weed and Greeley, and
the endorser of the Syracuse resolutions gloryty-
ing Seward--in fact, the Seward candidate, Wash
ington Hunt is elected Governor of New York
He is elected against detection in the Wing
ranks, and against the united Democracy. And
whyi For the plain reason that he publicly dis
approved the Fugitive slave bill, and refused to
give up an inch of his anti-slavery opinions even
TO keep together the Wing party. .....
But the legislature, 80 strongly Wing, more dis
tinctly expresses the Seward sentiment of the
State. Every member was elected with reference
to the question of re-eecting or rejecting Daniel
S. Dickinson. His national course in the Senate,
is therefore repudiated by the people OF New
York He is condemned for his concessions of
constitutional obligations to the South. Had he
stood side by side with Seward, we should have
had a different result u~
What, then, with ali the good intentions of this
city, what has the South to expect from the State
OF New YOKE AnAboton Wing in the Senate,
in the place of Dickinson the triumphant vindi-
cation of Seward and Preston King, the early re-
peal, if possible, OF the Fugitive slave law, the
appendage of the provso to the territories, and the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia,
the preliminary measures to the second edition
of the British emancipation act
Do you suppose that Seward, after the result of
this election is going to be quiet Or, that North
ern agitation is to be heard Of no more in Con-
gress Wait and see if notice is not given of a
bill to repeal the Fugitive slave law in bothho
on the first day of the coming session.
In the meantime, would it not be well for the
Nashville Convention and the Southern States to

how much of compromise can be slfted out OF it,
or whether the application Of quicksilver to all

+. nB The Washington Union thus illustrates
the evils of disunion by reference to England
and France -..... d ...s.g .,..... ...
"Where are the millions of men that have
been sacrificed-the hundreds of millions OF
dollars of public debt incurred-the vast stand
ing armies to be supported-the agitation and
CONFUSION of all the nations of the world that
have ensued--and the victorious conquest and
naughty subjugation of the capital Of France,
after the bloody field of Waterloo, by foreign
arms! Are these the blessings we are invited
to share with the disunionists But they would
be far worse here. We speak the same lam
guage--haye been brethren-occupy territory
penetrable at every footstep, the field for slaugh-
ter by the regular armies of each, and the prey
for the banditt and assassins that that would hover
along or hGttil sides of the frontier! Are these
men mad or do they think the people of this
country are ready to react the scenes of border
pillage, rapne, and murder that for so many
centuries desolated and gave to fire and sword
the neignboring regions of England and Scot
land Is this the liberty to be bought by dis
union ~

SION. Is there no betterargument for the Union
than that it enables one people to commit ag-
gression on another with impunity? Why, if
peace is 10 be purchased at that price, it can be
had by one Independent nation of another as
well as by the people of one section connected
with another.
If there had been no Union, the South would
have purchased her peace of the North at hall
the tribute and territory it has cost her.
A FREE-soIL CITY--A wealthy Friend "a ua-
kerr of New Bedford, writes to the Chronotype
who inquired of him whether fugitive slave
would be safe in that city: #H m.aa.ai
Il profess to be Free-soiler and hold to the
higher law God helping Imean to obey that
Therefore send along the good likely fugitive
and if he is hungry we will feed him, if naked
clothe him. He will be safe here. We have
about seven hundred fugitves here in this city
and they are good citizens, and here we intend
they shall stay. We do not counsel blood-shed
but shall suffer fines and Imprisonment to any
extent rather than allow that law to be carried
out So let him come, we will do all we can fol-
him, both for the outer and inner man."

Gently held at Syracuse, Now York, the United

We observe that Mr.. Commissioner KANE, of
Philadelp hia, has resigned his Office as commits
sioner of the United States District Court for
the same reason, to wit: repugnance to the late
law respecting fugitive slaves. He thinks no
man, OF honor can perform the duties" A nice
man he must be, who thinks degradation follows
the reverence for law and order, and honor the
disregard of them. An Abolitionist's notion Of
a man of honor Is, that he may spend time and
money in stealing the negroes of the South, and
yet be an honorable man, but if he simply
obeys the law, providing for the recovery of
stolen property, he is dsgraced. We know of

aEouivooation win undo ID. /,

The Union Of Saturday copies an article from
the Albany Register, maintaining the eonstitu-
tionality of the late Fugitive slave act and the
necessity of executing it. The editorial COM
ments on the article are made under the above
significant heading, aud they endorse il as ''sound
manly, and calculated to produce salutary in
fiuence." ~
But the Union intimates that the utteranee of
such sentiments by the Register, coupled with
its course in sustaining Mr.. Hunt for Governor
OF New York, when she is clearly proved to be
disciple of SEWARD, Wilmot proyiso man,
and IN favor of repeating or essentially modify
ing the Fugitive slave law" is preaching sound
doctrine and sustaining heretcs, and that such
"equivocation will undo u.s." This is all very
we'll But the Union would have done more
service to the cause of truth and Justice if it had
opened its battery Of denunciation against that
"equiyocation" which is undoing us at an earlier
period. When the equivocal resolutions Of the
Baltimore Convention Of 1874 and AS, in refer
ence to slavery, were under consideration-those
unsound planks in Presidential platforms; when
Gen. CAss' equivocal Nicholson letter was writ

compromise measures" were under discussion,
were occasions when a denunciaton of their
equivocal tendencies, by distinguished party

hope to avert catastrophe by denouncing OBJ
scure deyiations from political rectitude, while
more notorious and fragrant impostures are held
up and applauded as carnations of a catholic
and patriotic devotion to the Union. If such
