The Proclamation.

The Savannah Georgian commenting on
the Presidents proclamation, thus forcibly
addresses MIR. Fillmore and Mi. Webster.
"You see now ripening around yon, the
fruits of your own past doings. You have
sown to the wind, you are now reaping the
whirlwind. You have raised a storm which
you can neither calm nor guide. You have
aroused a spirit which will not dorm at
your bidding. You, and your friends, first
called into being, then excited, and then pan
dered to, and profted by, this abolition feel
ing; until now, it has become utterly M
comfortable even by yourselves.
Do we speak unadvisedly when we say
this! Let MIR. Webster himself be our wit
ness. Hear how ~complacently, yea, with
how proud a boast, he referred in 184S, 70
the success of himself and friends, in excl
ing the North against the extension OF slave
ry The reader needs not be told that hos
tillty TO the spread Of slavery, and hostility
to the Fugitive Slave Bill, are part and part
OF the same feeling. Mr.. Webster said:
by this time" (meaning the time
when Texas was annexed, the efforts OF the
WINGS ALONE had raised a strong excite.
ment in the North against the annexation Of
slave territory. | say the wings alone, for
nobody belonging to the other party, North
or South, East or West, stirred a finger 10
mat cause or if there were any, they were
so lew as not to be observable in the mass,
until the wings of New England, Ohio and
ether middle States had accomplished .
great excitement, a new feeling in the pub
nc mind. And then this pottion of the De.
mocracy of New York, now denominated
the barnburnlng party, seized upon this state
OF excitement thus brought about by wing
efiort, and attached this principle TO then
creed, to give them a prominence over then
rivals" 81
There it is, in Daniel Webster's own well
CHOSEN words; a statement made to the cred
1t OF northern wings that this excitement
owes Its very birth and being. its growthand
maturity, to them and their efforts. "a
we know where it began, but where IT'S
to end, who shall say?

to state in your paper that | respectfully decline
the honor conferred upon me, by the late "Un-

ing me on a committee. My political opinions
are my own property, and while | am free to
declare, that | can see no good to result to the
South by waiting until the northern bayonet 10

my honest conviction. The husbandman who

man who would defend himself should strike
before his arms are bound.

me, | trust it win excuse me for declining to

Silsnced Batteries.

shortly alter we took charge OF the Repub.
lican, a regular cannonode was opened on us
from the wing batteries in this District, and
when we beheld the fury Of :iae enemy. and
MS number, we trembled for the success of our
cause--not that we were short Of ammunition,
OF c0upted the strength of our position-but
because we doubted our own ability to give a
proper direction to our forces. Our position
was upon State Right grounds, our breast work
was OF the State sovereignty, and our arms
were of Truth.
The batteries Of the Wing, under its indis.
Greet General, were first to open. II was soon
discovered, that It's ammunition was short. and
its arms bad Among the few Of them captu.
red, we found some Of those used by Hamilton
and the Adamses, in the grsa. Federal battles
of i7ss-'99, which have been well preserved.
Also a few English and Mexican pieces were
discovered; which, however, had been slightly
Improved by northern men. No wonder this
division Of the enemy made so bad a stand
Its shot were mostly spent before reaching our
line but a few fell against our breast work,
and rebounded with great injury to the ene-
my. One discharge from our batteries confus-
ed the enemy-one more, completely routed
and put them to an inglorious fight. They
shouted, as they ran:
"Those who fight and run away,
May live o fight another day.b
Next came up the heavy guns of the Match.
ez Courier, under an old and experienced com.
mander. Considerable ingenuity was a. first
displayed, but the fury of the enemy soon a.
mounted to madness. In their greediness for
the spoils, they became confused-and taking
advantage of every false position, we soon
convinced them that discretion is the better
partof valor." They abruptly reiterated, sat.
isfied of the fact, that
"Those who are in battle slain,
Cannot live TO fight again.
To be serious. The Unionists can not main-
tain their ground. The people of the Southern
States will never be induced to sell themselves
to Congress, or submit to have themselves pla
ced at the mercy of an irresponsible and ia.
natic administration. The Government is the
creature of the States, and the people know it,
they also know that a creature can not usurp
dominion over its creator. The States have
prescribed the duties Of Congress-teiA ii what
it must and shall do-and when it becomes
swollen by floods of fanaticism and arrogance,
il is the duty of the States to make of them
~selvesa levee, and keep it in its natural chan
mel, To argue upon the omnipotency of Con.
gress, at this late DAG, is "love'slab b lost."-
1t Gun levy taxes, collect imposts, assist in ma.
king treaties, declare war, admit States, and
legislate for the general welfare of all of the
States; but when II comes to interfere with
the private institutions and properties of the
States, to protect and pamper the interests of
one to the detriment Of another, it usurps pow.
ri, and its acts should be nulliied. We re-
loice to see the spirit Of notification now ex-
tant in our State-and we hope to find nullifers
ever ready, when a violated Constitution APP
peals to them for protection.
