The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-03-09

To the third insnuation, when made by the senator
from Texas 10 his effort in the Senate fall and salts
factory reply was made BY the senators from Mlssls
spp and South Carolina as to satisfy all fair and Just
mndsi for no honorable man can for moment believe
that Mr. Fooie Mr. Davis or Mr. Butler, would for any
purpose sloop to the ntterance OF iasehood. That
bubble was broken then, and the Texan could not
persist In its repetton il he cared TO meet the con-
sequences OF such skepcism
To the fourth, which makes Mr.. Calhoun the chief In
stgator and mover this matter further than his public
course and printed speeches may have contributed to
awaken public interest in IT, an unqualified denii IS an
terPosed; for he not consulted as 10 the calling oil
the preliminary meetings in his State, made
cognizant OF the intention TO hold convention until the
matter had made considerable Roadway He was al
Washington, and those who organized the FIRST steps
were not in communication with Mr. Calhoun and many
OF them were his old opponents-whigs and old Union
men The movement in South Carolina, IN this natter
did not originate with the politicians, but was the spon
laneous action OF her people This charge, therefore, is
as groundless the rest and malicious in inputing
knavery 10 great statesman and plant dupery to the
people he represents who could thus consent TO be made
the mere tools OF a selfish ambition.
The fifth allegation to the divisions existing among
the southern people, may soohe the minds OF those who
differ from Sir Boyle Roche, in mol thinking that "the
best way avoid danger is to meet II plump but II they
.ay that fatering JUNCTION to their souls" grievous will
be their error, disastrous their disappointment and dire
the possible consequences Danger never yet was avoid
ed by shutting ones eyes TO its approaches, as great
man truly said when foreign aggression reused people
to ressace far grevous must be the result OF this
aternal aggression, the North listens to the siren song
its notes of alarm one-haf OF this land and warn
ing the of the North that, although their southern
white brethren love the Union much they love their own
liberties yet more, and will protect, preserve and defend
them at all hazards and to the last extremity The his
tory OF all revolutions proves that high minded and
patriotic people yet stopped 10 count the cost or cal
cuate the odds in struggle in which honor at stake
and you, gentlemen, whose rpened experience eau
ous conversations and patriotic devotion to the Union
can properly appreciate, while deprecang the extent to
which you carry Them would cite the warning words OF
one OF our wsest statesmen, more applicable now than
even at the time OF their uterancehe reference to our
revolutionary struggle by Daniel Webster who, speaking
of our ancestors, uses these memorable wordsa
It was against recital of Parliament rather
than against any suffering under its enactmens, that they
took up They 10 against preamble! They
fought years against declaration They poured
and their blood like WATER contest in
opposition assertion which those less sagacous and
well schooed in the principles OF civil liberty, icod
haze regarded barren pascoogy parade of ,cord
'On this question of principle, while actual suffering was
aiar Oft they raised their flag against power TO which,
for purposes OF foreign and subugaton, Rome in
the height of her gory is not to be compaseda power
which has dotted the surface the globe with
beat, following the sun, and keeping company with the
hours circles he earth daily with continuous and
broken strain OF the martial airs Of England"
The OF those sres bastards nor degenerate
and will prove il, il n-handed justice be re-
fused to Them as il was to those from whom they derived
the charter OF their liberties All that the South de-
mandsall that the North is required to yield herand
what she will have-is JUSTICE
