Of protection. The tariff eau hardly become
az ain debateable topic. We rej oiee, therefore,
that the national parties are no more, and that
hereafter We shall have many parties instead Of
two. great national party Is an evil, per Sc.
Ii is hostile to q federauve system of govern
ment, for it disregards State rights, State inter
ests and State opinions, aud subordinates all TO
national politics. We wish there were thirty
parties instead of two. We wish every State
had party. We wish federal politics were SUD
ordinate to State politics, instead Of State to
federal. Then We should have iederalive sys-
tem-then We should have States in reality
not as now, thirty odd provinces governed ny
a central power, with nothing OF State power
left but that of making pronunciamento, and
then backing out under the influence OF federal
office, federal money, and federal force.
We have achieved something, therefore, Of
great Importance in the formation OF Southern
party--a party already powerful enough to con-
test the ascendaucy in several States and to
hold the balance of power in several more. And
this party can accomplish ten times as much by
maintaining separate organization, as by being
absorbed into an old and ricketty national one.
Look ut what abolition has achieved by separate
organization 1t has subordinated both OF the
old parties in the North, and has acquired rep
resentation in federal councils far beyond its nu
merical proportion. And if the Southern party
does not possess, with good cause, as much
vgor and independence as the Aboltionists, with
b d one, why let the Southern party fail. But
we know that besides including so many of the
distinguished men of the South, We have the
young men with u.s. And this is certain pre-
sage of ultimate triumph.
BY remaining separate, the Southern party
can cooperate with any other in any question OF
federal politics, or in elections. But whatever
course the Southern party may take on any oc-
casion, will be determined by majority of its
own numbers whereas, if merged with any
other party, its course would be governed by a
totally different and frequently hostile majority
And if the Southern party remains independent,
the Union party will have 10 remain also indie
pendent Of Northern connection
The Southern party will, we trust, abide by its
position, of indemnity for the past and security
for the future. And unless our territorial extern
sion has terminated, opportunity will not be
wanting to redress the compromise, if it is not
before corrected
As for the cant that agitation must cease, we
know it is absurd. Agitation will not cease. 1t
began before the Southern party existed, and has
been more restrained in Congress and the North
by the fear of Southern secession, than anything
else. We know it will be encouraged by the
submission of Mississippi.
Let, then, the Southern party be firm. 1t has
dissolved the union of the two old parties, and
formed one good party of their best elements.
That is greater achievement than perhaps any
man can now fully appreciate. Let us tread nc
step backwards.

WoRDs OF TRUTH.-Judge JOHNSON, of Geor-
gia, in a recent communication, utters the fol-
lowing language in relation to the right of Sc
cession:
Whoever observes the signs of the times
cannot fail to see that the right of secession will
probably, at no distant day, assume the form and
magnitude of practical Importance. The South
is in permanent minority in our federal legsla-
ture. The tone of Northern fanaticsm abates
not in its phrenzy and insolence 1t presses on
rapidly TO the consummaton of its diabolcal de-
signs. And what check has the South upon its
progressi Have we any under the established
rules of parliamentary lawl Can we expect
any justice at the hands of the present Free soil
Executive and his Cabinet! Can we effect any
thing by argument and appeals to the reason of
our Northern oppressors Can we obtain shell
ter under the broad shield Of the Constitution
No. All these ere as impotent as pack-thr, nd
to restrain an irresponsible and fanntical ma
iority. What, then, are we to do? say let us
bear to the last point of endurance, but never,
let us proclaim through the ballot box that, when
wrong and aggression shall be intolerable, we
have no right to secede, and that il we do Sc
cede we are TO be regarded as insurgents and
revoutionists II never can be true that our
forefaihers, in the struggled of 76, fought only
to achieve that which is the right of serfs--the
right of revolution. They had that under the
British crown. But they struggled for more
for colonial sovereignty--and they won il. Did
they turn round Immediately, and surrender all
that they had batiled for into the power of nm
elective consolidation Never, never Those
who maintain such position, falsify all the his
tory of our revolution, and bring disbonor upon
the master spirits of its thrilling and eventfu
scenes. The right Of secession must be main
tanned. II is the last, the only hope Of the
South, Let Us maintain il with unanimity and
we can hold In check the spirit of abolition and
consolidation. But if we yield it, the whole
theory of our federative system is changed and
We are In the power Of those whose mercy is
like that of the wolf to the lamb. If we yield,
we not only proclaim, in advance, that we viii
submit TO usurpstion and aggression. but we do
worse---we admit that we have no right TO resist
And that is political vassalage."

" The speech OF KOssUTH before the
Bar last evening was magnificent effort,
which has not been exceeded by any of the
remarkable oratiOns ne has delivered since
his arrival in this country. The grounds
of international law were stated with sur
passing eloquence and force. Never have
more power calculation, nor ever did a
speaker more triumphantly carry his audi
ence along with him as he added demonstra-
lion to demonstration, and argument to ar
gument. The nature of the crime which
destroys the liberties and annuls the exist
ence of a nation, was exposed with irresist-
able power, and illustrated so that the dull
est understanding must admit it to be all the
orator pronounced it, and execrate it accord
ingiy. And finally, the necessity that the eter-
nal pr,n iplss Of ~.tio which, the four-
dalton of international law should be en-
forced ard that some power Independent
enough, faithful enough to the well being of
Humanity, true enough to its own vital in
terests, should rise and forbid the vio-
lation of these principles, was set forth
with an earnestness and cogency that car.
ried conviction to every heart. Even the
argument from pecuniary interest, was
turned into another weapon against that
poor selfshness which would make the
United States coldly Indifferent to the woes
of Humanity, and acquiescent in every out
rage that military power may choose to
commit upon the indefeasibe rights of ma
tons
This speech, though less elaborate, and,
from want of physical strength on the part
Of the speaker, less complete than that at
the Corporation Banquet, will not fail to re-
ceive the earnest attention of the public. ~
And whatever verdict any reader may form
as to the essential justness of its logic, none
can fail to be impressed by the greatness of
heart and mind, the heroic manliness of res
olution, and that noble purity and tender
ness of patriotism which breathe through
every word The cause which has such an
advocate cannot fail
