The illusiious Senator further informed "
that slavery existed in c~alifqmia that there
were seventy hands on plantations in csliioE.
MIA that any man could take his slaves there
with safety the startled look Of q present
who had bat lately returned nom California
where the only slave he had with him delib-
eTaIeIy cut his acquaintance, was a denial Of
the Hon SENATORS assertion more impressive
than language.
Indeed il is greatly 70 be feared that the
great intimacy boasted Of by The Hon Gentle
man. As exising between himself Haryof The
West and the God-like Daniel, has Sc Gar de-
ranged his Intellect : probably to have in
duced him 70 believe that he was addressing
a Northern instead Of a Southern audience.
THE RsPLY-Now hold a reply presup-
-@s aaesiaa a remark a PROPOSITION a
speech, Gen, Fools faiIingto take a sAgle po-
siiion, but simply entertaining his audience
witlrhi own exploiis-thq9 was nothing to
take issue upon nothing 70 reply 10.
The speechof Mr. Parish was diguifed and
impressive, unlike Cen. Foote, he was guilty
Of no egotism-he sought and found reasons
for his positions; he carried bis audience
through tho political history Of our country,
showing that there had been from the forma-
lion Of our Government, one continuous scene
Of aggression on the part Of the North, and
concession upon the part Of the South, even be-
fore the formation of the constitution, the
grosscst outrage was p~ractised BY the North
upon the South; by Northern votes was
slavery abolished in all thai vast territory
granted by Virginia, Northwest Of the Ohio
river that the restriction Of slavery upon the
admission of Missouri as a State, was another
outrage submitted to by the South; that the
late unconstitutional acts by a lawless party in
Congress, have entirely destroyed all faith and
hope in the future; that whilst a majority of
the Electoral College is with the North, also a
majority in the lower Haase Of Congress, and
soon viii bea majority in the Senate, to which
add a Northern Judiciary, that must soon fol-
low, tell me, exclaimed Mr.. Parish, how long
you can hope to preserve the institutions of the
South.
Mr.. Parish insisted that the time had come
for resistance, that there was a point beyond
xxhtoh fnrbnarauoa oaaoa1 o.. ~ - ..nt,.o ..1
that W o had now arrived at that point. But,
says the Wilkinson Wing, Mr.. Parish did not
tell us what that resistance waste say the
least, the Wing is mistaken-Mr. Parish stated
that he was no disunionist, neither was he adj
dressing disunionists; that whatever conse-
quence might flow from the aggression Of the
North, the North must bear the blame; that If
d~isunion followed, the name must be given
to those who produced tits true General
Fooie, in his reply TO Nj. Parish, said Mr.. Far
ish was no disunionist, neither was he-that
Mr.. Parish was no secessionist, neither was he,
&c. Now, so soon as Gen. F0ote closed, Mr..
Parish called the attention of the audience and
explained that he did not wish or intend that
the gentleman should suppose him, without a
remedy for the aggression which he had spo-
ken Of, but that the remedy was separation, or
dissolution Of d partnership in which the gain
was all on one side, whilst the loss was all on
the other. These sentiments have been before
expressed by Mr.. Parish in public before the
citizens ofthis county, and were known to the
editor of the Whig-the platform Of MIR. Far.
ish, and | believe a majority Of the people Of
this county Is, Union with the Constitution
Disunion without the Constitution. It will be
remarked that in the platform laid down by
the Wing, the constitution is a dead letter.
Our platform, says the Wing, is the Compro-
mise and the Union. Gen. Foote most pathet-
ically exclaimedthat, 50 help him God, If Con-
gress repealed the Fugitive Slave law, he was
a dismionist, he was for a separation, &c. Will
the Wing inform us, if Congress should repeal
the Fugitive Slave law, or 50 modify it as to
render its effect nugatorv will the Wing, and
those whom II represents, be in favor, as their
Polar Star, Gen Foote, is, Of disunion-come,
no hesitation, no dodging-answer the ques.
tion let US see If you will not take shelter be.
hind some platform, and wait a leetle longer.
SOUTHERN RIGHTs.
