The Southern Press under this caption, has re.
Gently administered to the National Intelligencer,
few wholesome lessons, which we hope may
benefit this compromise Organ, at least, 80 fal as
keep it in check, and teach it a practical lesson
that some things can be done as we'll as others.
The organ of the "Northern Loyasts" must know
that some people have as much Intelligence as
others, and although it may continue busily en-.
gagged in its vocation, as the Press very properly,
remarks, Gin magnifying Northern Ioyalists, and
abusing Southern Malcontents," it will prove loves
labor lost, and useless experiment i'll attempt
ing to palm off its vile slang upon u.s. the warning
gwen to the South, intended wesuppose, for South
Cardinals especial benefit, abused villafed and
misrepresented as she has been by the Intellisr"-
Ger and the whole tribe of Northern adher-nts,
the portentous language of the following: C'I.ct
Southern Malcontents read and see that there are
strong men in the North, as we'll as in the South)
we hone may meet the same response, that was
given when Lochie was warned "of the day." To
the Intelligencer as the organ and exposior Of
Northern Loyalsts, whose ends and interests it
subaerves 30 admirably, we say, down toothless
insulter nell trust not thy tale" Your "srong
men in the North" are those who neither fear God,
nor regard man; whose strength may be found, in
endeavoring to counteract the laws of nature, and
to perverson Of all the principles Of justice and
humanity; these are your "strong men, very
strong? too strong for law; welded to their blind
fanatcism, they are unwilling that others should
live in the enjoy ment of their own opinions, even
in this glorious Union" Go and preach to your
"strong men in the North > pirate as much as you
please about the ''ocal dsloyasts;" abuse, viafy,
an misrepresent and grossly attempt further out
RACES upon South Carolina, it is an easy task for
an adept 10 perform. The Intsll,gcnccr, has served
its time at this trade for 10 these many years. and
is graduating with the first honors of the season,
having served its masters long "with spirit so
loving and loyal" indulge your Imagination to lis
utmost capacity do your best to destroy the per.
petuity Of this Government as glorious Union
you are succeeding finely; few more threats,
and All adherence to the established order of Tho
| day-oppression to the Southland the work is
accompIished-he die is cast, and the Rubicon-
will be crossed-a few years longer, it may be, and
"The conflict is done,
A nation has fallen, oppression has won!
A naon has fallen, yet how noble that fall,
| Fame lives in her ruin, and glory's her pa!l.'
Such may be our fate, and the Inteh'igeneer will
have the satisfaction Of knowing, that in common
with other recreants to the cause of justice and
equal rights, they have done their part to bring
this result about-aud of course will share laise-
ly in the spolls. s.ea
"The Intelhgs'lcer may stuff its columns with
silly conjectures about the climate, geography, or
aristocracy, of South Carolina He may call her
mad-irresponsi5ly made; but there is not a, man
in;1he Union, who has any knowledge OF human
nature, or any knowledge OF history. who will not
arn away with contempt at the display of such
Soidty or hypocrisy"
