HAYNEvGLLE, Oct. II, 1850.
Gentlemen: An absence Of several weeks
duration, in attendance upon some OF the fall
courts in this section, has prevented me from
earlier receiving and replying to your polite
invitation Of the 2lst uit., to be present at a
barbecue and chowder party to be given by
the citizens of Mobile, without distinction of
party, on the 8th October, inst, to testify in
some public manner their acquiescence in and
approval of the measures recently passed by
Congress for the final ad justment of the slave
ry controversy which has so long and SO much
disturbed the tranquility OF the country.
lregret that causes beyond my control should
have prevented me from receiving your invita-.
ton in time, and being present on the occasion
above referred to.
In my opinion, nothing but the honor of the
South has ever been involved in the contro-
vetsy relative to the territories recently &C.
CURED from Mexico. IN the passage of the
adjustment bills that honor has not been COM
promItted nor the Constitution violated The
South, therefore, can, and should honorably
aeqniesce in, though it may not entirely ap-
prove each and every Of said measures. And
in view of the alarming tendencies of the hea.
ted controversy, all lovers of the Union eve
rywhere, should rejoice that a settlement has
been effected, aud uphold and sustain it, tho
each and every term Of the settlement NAV not
be approved.
But, gentlemen, that man indeed must be
blind who does not clearly perceive that there
are those at the South, as we'll aa o. the North.
who have ever been opposed to any adjust
-INSN
ment OF the controversy, and who have been
and still are, engaged in ngitating these deli.
cate sectional questions, with the express view
ard desire OF rupturing the bonds which unite
US as a great and free people. Their action in
aud out of Congress has been intended to gen,
crate and keep alive undue and unnatural ex.
element, to aid them in the consummation of
their unholy purpose. They of the South en-
deavor To reap all the aid they ran from the
Just and natural sympathy Of the Southern pa
mot, with his particular section, and have
drawn into the vortex many pure, unsuspec,-
ing aud warm hearte SOuthron. In the des-
Perat'on OF their cause, too, they assume great
holiness, and, to awe and keep simid, apply to
The true friends OF the South and of the TJnion
men ne warmly Southern and as Deeply IN
lerested in the South as they-such epithets as
tory subm'ss'"nll, and cravern, :Simbusd with
the spirit, but none of the inspiration If
prophecy, they predicted, in conjunction with
their co.workers in the dirty work of agitation
In the Northern States ("lhe wish being father
NeN"NN
To the ihOught,") that the passage of the od.
Jus'ment bills by Congress would not BRING
peace to tn country, and forthwith, after the
passage OF these bills, they and their sam No.
ole allies cry out, "here is no peace! there is no
peace. Hare zoe not truly prODheciedS' In short
gentlemen, that the grand aim and object of
these men lie a dissolution Of the Union. and
the establishment OF a Southern Confed rscv.
which hey think will be a sovereign panacea
Tor all our Political lille. Their continual agi-
tat0n may De kept up for no other purpose than
a dissolution ofhe Union.
Such being the state OF The case, what does
II oehOOve all lovers Of Union and liberty to
doE | answer, 10 meet with promptness-with
manllness and frmness-the issue, WThe
price oil liberty is eternal vigilance" and We
should not be kept back by contumeIy and a.
buse or the fear Of being placed in a false posi-.
ton, but should march with a~lacrity to the
discharge Of that duty we owe to the memory
OF our tlthers-tO the lovers Of liberty throuob,
out the world-tO ourselves and to our poster.
