We know 1t is solemn question TO ask oursel-
yes, .f Ipiing TO dissolve the Union, and upon
which we have reflected long, soberly, and dispas-
sonately. sr a., -. g..
The thought of dividing that common heritage
of glory which descended from our patriot fathers
is truly revolving, but the thought Of proving our
selves unworthy Of that heritage by basely sur
rendering our rights, our equality and indepena-
ence in the Union to fanatical aggressionsts, who
seek power to tyrannize over, and deprive us Of
that property which they bequeathed US, and that
recognition which they made in the Constitution,
is slavish and servile. ,ats
Men Of the South, will youi dare you, tamely
SUBMIT You cannot retire from the field, save in
ignominy and degradation. You have been wait
ing until Congress would do something to resist
She has done it. She has admitted California as
State, excluding, in her organic law, slavery.
She has abolished slave trade in the District Of
Columbia. A few days since, in Congress, Mr..
Stevens Of Pennsylvania, gave notice that he in
tended to introduce bills TO repeal the passage of
the fugitive slave bill passed in September, 1850
to incorporate the Wilmot Proviso in the terrific
rial governments for Utah and New Mexico. All
these bills have passed, and yet Northern asses
are not satisfied with all the ignominy and re-
proach, injustice and degradation in which they
have involved the South. This looks like sense Of
returning Justice on the part Of the North. South
erners, the North will never be satisfied until she
deprives you of your property in slaves, and DESC
lates your growing metropolises--and destroys
your fair prospects for wealth and independence.
Southern Submissionists may pirate about "glo-
rous victories" in the passage Of the Senate bills
fire one hundred guns and cry peace, peace, but
there is no peace. The North will continue to
agitate this much vexed question, until abolition
is effected in the States. Will you acquiesce in
this iniquity and injustice. We reply no. g. We

man. Away with such patriotism! We would
far rather be called traitor for resistance TO
wrong and Injustice, than patriot for slayish
acquiescence In them.
We cannot bring these remarks to a close
without expressing our warnest admiration OF

as men who at an important crisis to the South,
evineed capacity to comprehend, and courage
amidst surrounding venality and treachery, to
defend the constitutional rights of their State.
Virginia will never desert such faithful sons
Should she, she will then merit the wrongs she
has sustained from fanaticism and corruption.

think they will. l. trust there will be no more
STIR about States Rights or Southern Rights,
and that We shall think that State has no right
IN the Federal Union, save such as may be granted
to her by the central Government. We shall
have the satisfaction ofknowing who our masters
are, and what our duty rs subjects is. When
that time shall arrive, shall think il the part of
wisdom and patriotism to consider how best we
can realize abolition in Georgia.
You say, gentlemen, that Union Of the people
OF Georgia is all important agree with You
and as know that a very respectable portion of
our people prefer Union and abolition to Dis
union, and what they fear ofits consequences 1t
is probable that for sake Of unaninity we had
better all submit.
For myself do not see any thing so dreadful
in disunion, II ut any time the States shall find
it their interest to dissolve-eommon interest
and general welfare made them unite, and the
want ofthese may induce them to separate. The
purpose and object of the Union were, common
defence and equal protection. IL these fail, the
Union fails. BY 1t there was u guarantee to
man in Georgia. that his rights of person and of
property in Massachusetts, should be protected
there or in Oregon or California or New Mexico,
rs fully rs those of citizen Of the State or Ter
ritory. If this is no longer so, and rendered so
by the act Of the State or of Congress, the COM
pact of Union is dissolved, and We may submit
to it for the sake Of the benefits and rewards yet
in store for us, or we may take advantage of it
for the relief it may administer to our people
and say to our sister States, rs one nation should
to another-that We are I'm peace friends, IN ,car
enemies"
Come what may gentlemen, am a Georgian,
and am prepared to defend her against the i'm
putation OF Treason on the one hand, or to help
her amidst the horrors of abolition on the other
and hope that Georgians will in no event con-
tend with Georgians, but will all agree to 60 TO-
gether us band of brothers according as the
State may direct.
Very respectfully your Felow-C Citizens,

To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of the
United States in Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled 10 Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that ,hev do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes Will be an annual
- raJncinp the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant.
Vovvr memoriaists further represent that the law,
INV preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
tbat the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
tent n n f0r ham Ives
wbereas many Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for

From the Fredricksburg, Ta., Democratic Record


THE COMPROMISE, &c.-The efforts made
by the Richmond press, (the Examiner excepted0
to produce the impression that the compromise
measures are approved by majority of the
people of Virginia, are wholly unjust:fable
That they speak the sentiment of majority of
the people of Richmond, I'VE entertain no doubt,
since that once good old Virginia city has been
over-run with Yankee sharpers, who have no
feeling in common with the South. Richmond
however, is not Virginia, and we are thankful
for it. Anonymous scribblers for the Wing,
&c, have also eJcavored to strengthen the i'm
preston.
Let is be submitted to the people of Virginia
whether or not they consider the compromise
measures founded in justice, or rs yielding any
thing to the South: three-fOurths of them will
answer negatively, and will affirm that they are
oppressive and unjust. We do not believe they
have the sincere approval OF one Southerner.-
That there are many who think it better to ac-
quesce in the wrong done than to resort to Sc
cession as a measure Of redress, we 90 not deny !;
but to say that even these are satisfied, in our
Judgment is not true 1t is not satisfaction with
the compromise that induces our people to ac-
quesce in it, but the fear of greater ills, which,
they suppose may follow disunion. This is the
rotten foundation on which this Union rests
1t is not cemented by the affections of the people
The North adhere to it from interest, that the
South may continue to be their prey and The
South, because they "woud rather bear the ills
they have than fly to those they know not Of"
For our own part, as we have before said, retlec.
ton, calm and deliberate upon the past, present
and future, has convinced us of the necessity for
separation. We anticipate greater ills from
the perpetuation of ULion bound together as
this is, and perverted to the purpose that 1t has
been, aud still will be, than can possibly follow
from dissolution, the evils of which have been
greatly magniied, rs we nre persuaded.
We do rot believe that separation of the
Union would involve the shedding Of one drop
of blood. The South could have no motive for
making war on the North, and we think it quite
certain, the North would not make war on the
South. The South has every natural advantage
TO secure and maintain ;her independence, that
independence she must ultimately lose by con-
tinuing in this Union under the system Of legis-
lation which has prevailed for the last 30 years.
What then should she do Should she close her
ewes and fold her arms, in the name Of the Union,
until she becomes the object helpless and hope
less victim of Yankee avarice and oppression
Some say that she should, and claim to be con-
sidered patriots par excellence for the utterance
of the sentiment replete as 1t is with craven ser.

CoFFEE.-Forty-two years ago, the annual
crop of coffee in Brazil did not exceed 10000
bags Even in 1920 it only reached 100000
bags At that time the high price of coffee in
England, and the diminished production in Gu
ba, stimulated the Brazilian planters to extend
its cultivation, and in $780, they sent to market
100000 bags, or 100000 pounds. and in ls47
the enormous quantity of nearly 3oo,0oo,0oo
pounds.
