Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1851-04-05
PrOgTeSS Of Abolition.

Abolitionism has conquered the North and al
most conquered the South Nothing can prevent
the complete conquest of the South, but timely,
manly, united resistance, and resistance POu-
trance. We believe that the South is fatally apa-
thetc in the midst of appalling and threatening
dangers. We believe the peril demands that every
Southern State should be armed to the teeth, and
hang out It's banner the outer wall and proclaim
to abolition philanthropy in Europe as well as
America, that the Institutions and property OF the
South will be defended to the death. a mock
philanthropy has raised the standard of a war OF
determination against us Governments the most
powerful on the earth churches of all denomna-
tons, but two: the press and the forum are enlist
ed, in hot CIV, under It's banner. Our own Fede-
raj Government has joined the league-and what
are we doing? \ powerful press in our midst
cries "peace and union''-our Representatives
and Senators hack in the fight, blanch in the storm,
and compromise where they should g die in the
last ditch - and the true men who sound the note
of real danger and tell the people the honest truth
are overwhelmed with vituperation and obloqUy.
And do not our enemies these fatal signs OF
division and weakness among US Have the Ar
gus eyes of furious religious fanaticism ever been
known to sleep when feeble point for attack has
presented itself? Our dangers are feartully aug
mented by our own false security, wickedly induced
and fostered by ambitious public men and party
blind or vcual press. The attempt to raise Ma
Gcnal Union party at The South is at once the ey-
idence and the acme of Southern infatuation. We
are making great outcry over the dangers OF the
Union. when perils a hundred fold more appalling,
are knocking at our own door-stones. For what is
the Union to us in comparison with our property,
our lives, and the rights Of supremacy of the white
race ? When the South becomes a Jamaica or a
St Domingo, in the name of God, what balm will
there be in calling the people of the North brothers,
what consolation in reading Washington's farewell
address, or what music in the rustic of the stars
and stripes ColuDs5ps TGmes
A DISTANT RELATIox-We saw Yesterday a
recommendation written by an Irish friend of ours,
in favor of a gentleman who an applicant for
a commission in the army. Among other things
he saws: Nv friend Mr.. -, is closely con
neced with the President, his father having fought
a duel uiM one Of tie Polks."
The above brings to mind an incident that oc-
Cured some time ago in Cincinnati, on board the
steamer Buckeye, just as she was about to leave
for New Orleans
tall countryman, carrying pair of saddle
bags on his arm and covered with perspiration,
and who looked as though he couldn't tell his head
from bunch of shingles, rushed into the cabin
calling at the top of his voice
"Whar is Col. M'Intosh? Is Col. NJ Intosh on
this boat ?"
No one answered
g Well, then, Whar IS the cap un must see
Col. MIntosh.''
On being informed that the captain was on the
hurricane deck, inquiring friend pressed thro'
the crowd in that direction
Haul in the planks and shove her off p sound
ed in his ears Just as he reached the deck.
d" Run out the pIanks ashore with you, then
quick p shouted Capt. Hartshorn.
q say cap'un, l want to see Col. M'1ntosh-1
must see him"
q don't know him, sir, quickly answered the
old sea dog ''We can't wait-go ashore, haul
in the planks say
90 cap'un mast see the Kernel-he is dis
tant relation of mine, and | never seed him in my
life"
Now Capt. H. is warm hearted man, as every
body knows The last appeal touched his feelings
and he kindly inquired
''How near of kin are you to the gentleman
whom you are seeking %
"Why, cap un he as tie father of n.y. first child. %
E' Cast off that hawser and let her go were the
last words we heard And the boat and the man
that was in search of his relative wended their
way to New Orleans We have not heard that
the found Col M'Intosh, or the place where
he landed.-Ab Knick.
Cor HIS REwARD.-Thomas Butler King, for
merly of Georgia, and notorious as a thorough
TAYLOR and Fillmore whig and compromise man,
and Who it is said, first went to California to aid
and abet in the nefarious scheme of defrauding the
South of her share of the territory has been, in
the consideration of his Southern patriotism exhib-
tied in the service of Northern aboltionism, duly
appointed collector of the port of San Francisco.
" Enough said" The betrayers OF the South are
sure Of the rewards they seek-Federal patronage.
What glorious Union this is especially to the
household of Southern submissionists. GreenviUe
