was Senator from Ohio, if we remember right,
who, in debate year or two ago, said In ms place
that If this Government of ours was destroyed to-
morrow, we could make as good one in six
weeks! Our friend at Wilmington must have
heard of this bright idea and become convert TO IT.
FROM TIE WILMINGTON (s. c,) COMMERCIAL OF rEs- "A,
Il is honorable to the patriotism, and credi,able to the
intelligence and worthy of the humanity OF our Peope that
they look upon of bond OF Unon with all
probable disastrous and bloody consequences with no COM
posue Of feeling and though they determined 70 require
of the free States due security for rights under the Cons
tutun they would avoid the last with reluctance that
no language can express.
The South has demonstrated argued, en'reased and de-
manded in vain. They have been with reckless cause
less insulting inaovatons and tespasses upon their rights
and will submit them no longer They desire 70 live under
the Fedeta Constitution It's and correct version, or
else THEY wILL REcEDE FORM ONE FoR THEMSELVES,
under which they enjoy their rights and privileges
The Columbia rs. Co. Telegraph Of February
18th contains communication from, we doubt not,
one of the very 6rs, men Of the Palmetto State, to
which, in an Editorial note, the attention of every
reader is directed in such manner as to leave no
doubt of its being deliberate and studied exhibi-
tion of the views of those who control public
sentiment in that State. From this communication
we extract the following concluding paragraphs,
which no comment can make clearer:
.My idea is first, to perfect the Union Of the South now
happily in progress. year ago thought the South was
doomed seemed dead to its true situation, mouthing
after the lessons Of miserable demagogues the sounding de-
vices Of party But this day Is past There are no more
Wings, no Democrats-there is but party, " the
Party of the South The South is aroused her banner is
on the outer WALL and the cry is still they come, they
come" Let the good work go on
"Second, to Dissolve UNIos Immediately, PORN
SOUTHERN CoNFLpERAcI, and POSSESSION BT FORCE
OF ARMS TERRIToRIEs suitable for slavery,
which would include all south of the northern parallel Of
latitude of Missouri Let this territory then be settled up by
shareholders Let the Southern States give tract of land
and one slave to every poor family who will settle there
Desperate diseases require desperate remedies see no
other eectua remedy the disease Of the body polite hanhe
one pointed out, The question is bettose this and nothing
If YOU don do this what you do Nothing, but await
your fate obvious if the South the scton should
be prompt 'Now is the day and now is the hour Our
enemies gaining strength every day. What possible
may be impossible after while The South
ing now-LEr MOVE security, to honor, and to
greatness"
The next witness we shall call to the stand is
the Washington Union newspaper, which, al
though il makes vehement assertions of devotion
to the Union-and, we dare say, feels it, by fits
has ever and anon, during the last two or three
months, assured that the Union is in the greatest
danger; and, no longer ago than the day before
yesterday, opened upon us all the conduits of its
wrath. BECAUSE as that veritabe organ affrms, the
National Intelligencer is not proving its fidelity to
the Union by concealing the dangers which
THREATEN IT'S EXISTENCE And how does the
venerable Editor, when he comes to specifications,
proUe that the Union is in greater danger than we
have supposed! We quote his words "rhe
Inelligencer before it the strongest evidences
r of THE DETERMINED SPIRIT OF oUR SOUTHERN
+ FRIENDS, and get it would impress our Northern
: brethren with the hope that the Union is in no
Z danger. 1t sees Legislature after Legislature
pouring forth their EXCITED resolutions, and yet
it affects to say that there is no serious danger"
How can we doubt the danger to the UNION when we
are assured by one who knows much better than
we what are the designs of the Agitators, and who
thus arraigns at the bar of the Public because we
do not despair of the Union, and hope that it
may be saved?
If the Editor of the Union" newspaper has

not participation-of an organization Of new
Government prepared and ready to be put into
instant operation of any violent remedies already
devised of the ordinance already penned for the
establishment of the Nation Of 1.-THE UNITED
STATES SOUTH" if, in short, he has any serious
reason to suppose, as his assault upon us for our
incredulousness seems to indicate, that the UNION
is IN more imminent danger than we have repre-
sented it to be, we require of him, as faithful
compatriot, to disburthen his mind, make clean
breast Of il, and let us know at once the whole
extent of the danger.
