4 If there be any truth in the views above

Care gonc-forever gone. Dissolution or
EConsoldation is the only alternative left us.
Gin dissolution, the only hope for the slave
aholding States is to be found. BY consoida-
ation the triumph of Free-Soiism and Adolf
stion will be cfectually secured, the inevitable

sof the Confedcracy.
d Believing that, us parties now stand III the
Union, we will be compelled to succumb be-
sforc the overpowering numbers of our oppo-
Snents, assisted as they are by vile descrters
sfrom our own ranks, and feeling convinced
sthat the odds against us are rapidly increas-
Sing, the frecmcn of the independent State of
8South Carolina have determined to leave the
sUnion, which has ever brought them more of
acviI than of good, and to hoist Il new Flag,

Sbe represented the sovereignty of South

Sholding aioft in her light hand Il banner, upon

acomng with speed and with certainty. Our
snporessors have pursued and goadcd us al-
grcady beyond the point of reasonable endu-
france. South Carolina has turned upon them

ssthem nobler lesson. But No-our South
Germ Sisters will not. by this ungenerous and
Munnatuml conduct, call down upon them
TscIvcs such eternal disgrace. Even should
sslhcv not follow us out of the Union, they
sgscouIi not suffer us "i0 be rictimi-ed." The
sssthousand ties of Identical interests and Of
SaconsanguniIy, forbid the horrible supposi-
sssslion. Vic!imizcd by The decree Of our nalu-
Eml allies Oppressed and ruined by the

srights of the South! Who can realize it
;sWherc is the bastard from Virginia to Texas
sswho will dare, in the face of Honor and Of

Nusing such craven language, there will be lell

i 1t will appear from the above, that we irc-

HTHE SABBATH IN TIE EARLY SpRING-TINIE,
g THERE is charm in such day, which
lsscannot be well described. 1t can only be re-
saaliscd, to the full measure of its benign in
ahucncc, in the retirement of the country.
3 Those, who dwell amid the cark and care
[Sof cities, know but little of the pure delights
Esof an carly Spring Sabbath. True, their
!sears may be greeted in the holy morn, by the
sssjoyous chimes of many bells, calling the
acreaturc to the worship of his Creator, and
severy street may be cnliYcncd with gayly
sattircd throngs Of men, women and chl'drcn'
Ehastcning to obey tho sacred summons. Bu
