WHERE SHALL WE COZ

WHERE SHALL WE GOl
All those who leave home during the summer, for
change of climate, variety in scenery, recreaifon
health and pleasure-where will they GO the pres
ent summers! 80
They cannot go further South with safety health
where then will they goa To the North? Go
among those who will abuse the very Institutions
which have provided them the means for travelling
and abiding where they list spend THE money which
has been obtained from the labor of the negro among
those who do everything TO destroy the industrial cap
itaI of which the negro forms the chief item!
Go North and listen to their fawning compliments,
when they tell you they detest an abolitonist who
tend to detest ! Will you build up this opposition
10 your own interests! Or will you remain in your
State, visit the watering places among your ma
tive hills, and contribute the funds of those parta
king of the benefits of your institutions with you, and
who in turn assist in sustaining them
We have no hesitancy in replying that the man of
the proper pride and feeling will not go North.
There around US MANY watering places, COM
bnng all the essentials of pleasure recreation, and
health-scenery unsurpassed, water good, climate
pleasant, and above all, hosts attentive, kind, obl

Water clear, cool and sparkling, verdant lawns and
sloping hills, air bearing health every breeze large
and airy rooms, servants such you have been ac-
customed to at home and then in the way of amuse-
ments, pIc-nic-ing some Mountain height, in view
of the grandes scenery in the Union, trout fishing

every risk of being nsulted, several Southern
families at Cape May and other places during
the last seasons Where comfort, pleasure, health nor
amusement are half soaPt to be experienced as among
our own blue hills and picturesque vallies.
All the attractions that can be worth any thing to
the invalid the votay of pleasure, to be found
at beavers and the Warm Springs in Buncombe,
and at the Piedmont in Burke. The Eastern United
States affords no where scenery SO Iuggedly sublime,
so beautifully imposing is to be found within a
days ride of these three places. And if you would
not go so far, you will find at the Catawba Springs,
or Wilson's, water to impart health and vigor, and
scenery, &c., far superior to most of the Northern
! lighthouses, called watering places.
South Carolnians might find at our Springs and
their Glenns,' Limestone &C., sufficient in

things, and not 90 abroad for the name of the

! We concur with the Nest in urging all true-heart-
ed Southern men to cease their accustomed visits to
the Northern watering places. We shall talk with
but little effect about our rights so long go by
thousands voluntarily among the enemies of in
situations, and lay out among them, either in bust
for pleasure, the earnings of slave labor, We
have places of resort in the Southern States which
are just pleasant and agreeable those North Ii
citizens wish 60 to the seaboard, enjoy the
breeze, the bath, and fish, let them visit Nags Head
or Beaufort
We take leave to add to the above list of Springs
in the Nest, Jones' Springs and the Shocco Springs
in Warren County. We speak from experience when
we say tina, vsiters to these Springs will meet with
kind and hospiable reception, and will be entertained
in the most agreeable style.
We love the Union of these States, and would be
the last to say do any thing calculated wi
ded the breach already existing between the North
and tie South ; but must take care of ourselves
and live within ourselves, if the Northern people
mil have it If they will their unjust at
tacks upon the institution of Slavery, and will learn
to do justice their equals in the nion in their
State Legislatures and in the halls of Congress, the
old feeling of fraernal regard will return, and
these States will march together, linked in
all kindness of social feeling-he people, hence
forth and forever. But kiss the hand that
smites US. They have smitten and wronged with
out provocaon; and they be made to feel, for
their good and for the sake ofthe Union ITSELF
our people are as independent, fearless, and as
proud as they are, and that the old Anglo-Saxon
blood still runs, unduinished and unainted by
ardice or meanness, in Southern veins.
