and steal from our protection.
But to come to the greatest of all considerations.
Here South out of the relation of master and SER
want, we have only two casts-protector and pro-
tected. We have no money princes and their
trains OF dependents-no monopolies increasing
with the multiplication of destitute masses. Here
each one of the white species takes consequence
exactly according to his industry, knowledge and
virtue: of which transcendent result, however
nine out of ten of our people seem never yet to
have dreamed. But let them think moment and
they will find it just so. Our boys have time for
school and to ride hunt, shoot the rifle and pistol
and court the girls Our girls are not penned up
in factories for subsistence, but in their time of
pride, JOY and hope, are free to be courted Here
labor does not degrade but ennobles Every pur-
suit of honest industry is on this eminence. And
who is it that may not by due exertion and thrift
become a slave owner? Surely these boons are
worth all else that civilization can furnish. Where
IS the Southern born -mendicant pauper? Where
IS the Southern born boy girl in menlal service?
On the contrary, without regard to wealth or ayo
cation, where is the Southern born man or woman
who does not carry the mein and spirit of an indie
pendence that at once proclaim the Southener and
challenge admiration and envy? This is the spir

have actual freedom, and equality in their noblest
degrees only beneath Southern auspices
XII Exemption from the marches Of Europe
No one is so much out of the world as not to have
heard the trerrifc yell coming up from the desti
tute masses. "Give us service and wages that we
may live - Necessity has law. The free
white race of Europe, true to their character,
restive; but most unfortunately they have taken
the Voltare track for redress to the very verges OF
anarchy. The emmigration into the Northern sec
ton is bringing that section into the vortex. Hence

This now is the overwhelming question. Our con-
vention Of October l849 in its eighth resolution,
repeated the prophesy of Paulding: The rights
of the South, in African service, exist not only
under, but over the Constitution. They existed
before the Constitution was formed. The Consti-
tuition was rather sanctioned by them than they by
the Constitution. Had not that instrument admit
ted the sevreignty of those rights it never would
have been itself admitted by the South. 1t bow

er of which the Constitution can boast. Those
rights may not be changed even in the change of
the Constitution. They are out of reach Of the
nation as a notion. The confederacy may dissolve
and the Constitution pass away, but those rights
will remain unshaken---will exist while the South
exists--and when they fall the South will perish
with them"
Already the Constitution has passed away. It's

ederacy, but actually, If to afford nominal sane

certainly the last and greatest stay and hope of
Constitutional freedom, of civilization and of prog

The question is one of existence to the South,

Southern people are rising. Even their boys at
the University of the mother State have given
pledge that they will not retract Tennessee is
beginning to see that the fiery corden, deprecated
by him of the Hermitage, is extended around us
and that the North, more than ever is arrayed for
our subjugation, as Ireland to England, or more
truly as Hindoostan to the East India Company.
