coacsa with her sister States g remedy
Again be says
eThc very important and vital character
9 Of Che question:, which are forced upon our
consideration, has led me to look solely to
Srepeedics, not merely palliative, but e6eeta-
al and permaaelit
It will be seen from the above that Coy.
I Quitnan recommends, as the true policy Of
the State Of isappii SECESSION, "either
alone in conce With her sister States" as
the only ''effcctaai and permanent remedy
''for existing evils" in case '.redress for he
past and security for the future cannot be
obtained 1t seems tous, thatno other sem
sible construction can be given to his Ian
euage. His friends,who differ With him in
sentiment, or whoagee with him and yet are
afraid to meet the'frge issue before the people
may attempt by false construction to evade
his positions, yet We cannot conceive that the
most shallow intellect can be deceived by their
sophistry. He proposes as distinct mode Of
redress for past aggressions, that '4he peo-
pie Of the slaveholding states, 50 far as it
may be within the power of Congress to do
so, should obtain from California con
cessions south of go 3O'," and for security
for, the future, that they shall consent to
such amendments of the federal constitution
as shall hereafter amply secure the rights Of
the slaveholding states from misconstruction,
and from further aggression and he has can
dor enough to say that he has very little
hope the propositions viii be yielded
If these propositions should not be yield
ed, he then recommends as the only efcctual
remedy the '.prompt and pcoceaJle SECES-
sion of the aggrieyed States"
Can any thing be palmer? and will any
one pretend to say that the Governor of the
State in his official capacity has presented any
other issue to the people than UNION or DIS
UNION.
Gen. Quitman has again been nominated by
his party as candidate for the executive Office
of the State, and by this act they have present
ed the issue he has made for the decision Of
the people His election will, virtually, be
sustaining the positions he has assumed and
will embolden him to use all the power and
influence of his office to effect that which he
has recommended in his message, and in this
we think he would be perfectly justifable, for
he could have no better proof that his posi-
ton was fully sustained by the people, than
his reelection
We have not one word to say against Gen
Quitman as man, upon the contrary We
think there is much to admire in his charac-
ter. He carries with him into civil Office, the
same character which he carried with him in
to the field He is bold, candid, fearless
man, and to use his own language expressing
'Jrcely, ,tranhly and rihoet reserge" his
opinions, without regard to any consequences
to himself We know how to meet such a
man, and although We admire his character
as man, we4ove our country more, and can
not place him in 2 position which May en-
danger the Union We would consider him
infinitely more dangerous vested with power
than timid man, for he possesses the bold
ness to execute, whatever his mind should
suggest,
We have in this number placed before our
readers the TRUE ISSUE" presented by the
Executive department of our State for de-
cision of the people OF their next election; ;
in our next number NC viii 81 that the
same issue has been presented By tie Legis-
lative department LOWNDES.
