"EIaving always looked upon Mr. Burt as
the impersonation of the chivalry Of the State
of South Carolna-a gentleman highly ac-
complished, without fear and without re-
proach. though deeply imbued with the philo-
sophy of the Calhoun School-we confess
our surprise at this rude assault upon him by
persons of his own party"
So Mr.. Burt, it seems, is another of Caro-
l;na's wayward sons, whom the lntelligencer
upon this occasion condescends to pat upon
the head And why! Because he counsels
submission-the only wise thing in the eyes
of the Intclligenccr And, 10 show what is
meant by submission. we quote again from
the same article. Speaking Southern grie-
vances, tho Inteligencer says:
"'rhe speech before US contains enough of
assertion and affirmation On that point to af-
ford wide field for comment and reply.
Enough has, however, been already said in
this journal on that head, to anticipate such
arguments of his as would seem to Justify the
secession of any State from the Union, or the
formation of q Souiherr, Confederation Of Sc
ceding States, because Of alleged incurablc
disafiection to the Union, or unappeasa5le re-
sentiment of the legislation, positive, of the
General Government"
Thus we see, that the leading organ of the
Ccnsolidationists and Unionists, looks upon
the course of AIessrs. Butler. Burt and others
as tending to submission. Hence, this re.
| joicing, and hence the tender anxiety dis.

that he might prove Tartar.
For our part, we solcmnly believe that the
enemies Of South Carolina have lost all hope
of quelling her, save through the instrumen
tally of her own sons Tney will never dare
to coerre her. Mr.. Webster distinctly set:
forth in his Buffalo speed, that in no event
with his advice, shall an issue of blood b'
made aetwecn State and the General Go
vernment. And if the North, if 4 NortherI
Administration, will not coerce us, surely tn
South will not In fact, the only men whc
will cry for blood are the aboltionists. Ant
why They know that the lion must b.
kept in the pit, in order to be destroyed; ant
therefore, advotatc coercion ut every hazard
and to the last extremity. But Mr.. Webste
and the Cabinet do not think so. Besides
appeals coming from this quarter will fal
cold upon the ears of the godlike Daniel.-no
that he hates South Carolina less, but tha
he hates the aboi!iouists more. They hav
! unthroned him, and cast him out in lis ago
with the sad effects Of lifetime of publ
, dinners upon him, to swim against 4 tide Q
