allies, IN executing tue only item Of the ad-
Justment favorable 10 the South, will array
themselves on the side of Southern Rights
men IN all the States? never had strong
or faith Of Southern cooperation than
have now--unavoidable circumstances
must bring II if we do mol act rashIy, and
turn turn friends thereby into enemies. Tho
cause of Southern Rights has made won
derful progress in two years. The idolu-
trous veneration for the Union has Inade
the sternest difficulty in the wayaof BUR
friends, and demagogues seeing that at
tachment have taken advantage Of it and
are attempting to savo themselves from a
just odium for deserting the cause Of the
Soutlhe in the day Of her greatest peril by
singing praises TO tho Union and reading
hotnilics over the ruin which dsunion is
certain to produce.
But, sir, the scales are fast dropping from
the eyes Of tho people. Five years ago,
dIsunIon would not have been tolerated in
South Carolina; but now, there is not one
Union man in this vast assembly. In the
other Cotton States, newspapers and ora
tors are openingly advocating Secession
aud Southern Confederacy, and the party
is on rapidly rising ground. The "Union"
will soon be no answer 10 constituents for
The betrayal Of their rights. They have
commenced To- calculate its value, 10 see
il i is worth preserving, just as our fathers
didSto see whether it would promote their
interests and safety to form it Whenever
Southern man makes the calculation,
fairly and honestly with his own con.
science, have 10 fear that he will after.
wards consent 10 submit to any ,rrong to

Look at tho signs South. In our sister
Georgia, we see the acIuescants, appre.

Der of their friends there, are burying all
past differences, and Wings and Demo.
Gratis are meeting in Convention, to nomi-
tie Union candidate for Governor. Why
this alarm on their part, if they did no:
dread the power Of their adversarics-our
trends. Look 10 Alabama aud Mississippi

themselves to the cause Of Southern
Rights. When old party lines are once
broken down eilcc,ual!y, my life upon il.
the Southern Rights men will sweep the
whole South. But do not Lex us deleat all
by pre'naturely moving. The nigh, OF our
gloom and oppression ls nearly ended, and
when day SO nearly dawns, why will we
venture 10 take astep that will plunge lis
into deep abyss, when the morning rays

be well, and, believe me, sir, there is no
danger ollctting down the spiri, OF our pco-
pie. The sense Of wrong and injustice has
settled too deeply on their hearts, Tor time
even TO eradicate it. when the proper
time arrives for us TO throw off successful
ly the thraldom Of a Free Soil Government
when we shall have gathered sufficient
strength, to make resistance efficient. no
mountain ch.citain ever rallied his clan
with more cecrity or nlacrity, than will
tho people OF South Carolina rally under
Southern banner for Southern Rights, at
the first bidding Of our Southern allies.
One more remark, before close. have
given you my views with great candor and
irankness. think it would be unfortu-
nate. nay disastrous, for us to act alone,
but the constituted authorities Of th.: State
have hcr honor and destiny in their keep
ing, and it is due to mysclf that should
here say. whether my counscs be re-
gardcd or not, i, will be my duty and my
pleasure, as think il will be the duty Of
every man within the limits OF tho State,
when the State authorities do act, to s,ls.
tain that action, with all the ability pos
sess, IN the field or the Cabinet, and to ad-
here, with unlllnching tindcli,y. to tho Pal
me,to Flag, through all The vicissi,udcs of
fortune, in prosperity and in adversely.
