FOR TIE MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.
MA. EDToR;
Ia my communication 81 last week
Il proposed plan By which The slave States
could head the free statesi If any person can
fetch forth one more speedy profitable, peace-
abls, lasting, honorable and constitutional let
it come to light and the entire south will adopt
il. No man for one moment can suppose these
northern agitdtors will cease their wicked,
foolish and vile acts Ofmeddliqg with the rights
of the slave States; we have not had the assu-
rance Of a single Senator or Represen tative on
the floor Of Congress from the free Sta es that
such would be the final result. They tell US
that the liberty Of speech aud the press is theirs
with each and every freeman in this Union,
and God giant it will SO con tlnue during all
time to come, and as those stare and stripes
~incre4se, that our Liberties may grow stronger
that this great confederation of freeman may
sooner or later unite those cords Of brOtherly
love that have became weakened by the " hims
and folly in those that have no right or power
to say harm Of the citizens Of The slave States.
Their ships and their fathers imported those
slaves to this continent, and they are now en-.
jOying the great wealth gained by that ttsfic
Of commerce before 1905.
Fifteen years back this number OF agitatOrs
were But few hdddred, scattered over the free
States,( sO called y by various names and move
ments they have now increased to several hun
dred thousands, and Unless the South blocks
up their avenues Of agitation, we may expect
to see them at thu end Of the next fifteen years
increased to millions; then no Senator or
Representative from a free State dare rise in
his place in or out Of the halls Of Congress and
open his lips against them without sealing mis-
political life; and at this day it requires a Ro-
man nerve in one of their members to stand
and battle in triumph against this once small
and magnificent spot in our political horizon.
And what will be the re suit should they ever
got a majority in Cong ress, with a President,
the army, the navy, and the purse to back
them! These positions may never be realized,
vet it is the duty of the South to hedge up and
fortify against possibilities Of this kind, be it
ever 30 remote.
The South has been charged in Congress Of
having done wrong in that o. keeping safe free
negroes coming south in northern ships. To
this charge the south can say in justice to them
selves that il Is to prevent false information
being communicated to the blacks ofthe south,
as those free blacks Of the n orth are not citi-
zens of the United States upon the anne foot
ing that a white mai lie. 1t requires five blacks
to be equal to three whites in Apo riioning
representatives between the States, and until
we can reduce five to three and save all the
parts, a negro, free or slave cannot become a
citizen Of the United States, nor constitutional
Iy a citizens Of a State.
The south may politically plead justification
in another light; when the Purgatorians believe
their rights are invaded by the old 6re-eater,
i. is said to be lawful to fight him with his own
element, (6re)
Was it possible that the object Of these uns
thoughtful %agitators 1.-The north could be ac-
cOmplished, and every negro set free, it wonld
place them in The most wretched and deplora.
BILE condition ofany race of human Beings from
the creation OF man and things up to the pres.
ent day. Humanity would mourn-the philahI
thrOplst would dOubt--the earth would aha Ike
the mountains would bGrst-ths rocks would
cry OGt-the seas would cease to roll-the sun,
moon, and stars would grow dim, and God in
his wrath would destroy the destroyer as he
did the fatal city or Sodoml
Again-ii every pebble was a ship, every
musquitO a%sailor, and the earth a lump of pure
gold, and Ottheir command, and a million paid
for each slave, here they would be, and here
hey would remain and labor for the white
man and be at his command until Cod in his
wisdom thinks proper to direct things TO his
honor and glory. Then the wicked %agitator
and demagNgue will have no share in the fat,
That power that permitted them to cross the
Atlantic, to be schooled in the arts Of civiliza-
ton and religion will alone have the glory Of
their return to the benighted land Of their fa>
theirs. D. w. HALEY.
AN HONEST CONFESSION.
