7HE SOUTHERN RIGHTS UNION PLATFORM


l. Rcsolvcd, Thatwe hold the American Union
secondary in importance only to the rights and
principles it was designed to perpetuate; that past
associatons;prcsent iruiton and future prospects
viii bind Us TO it so long as it continues to be the
safeguard TO those rights and principles.
?. Rcs0tUed That if the thirteen original parties
to this contract bordering the Atlantic in mar
row belt, whilst their separate interests were in
embryo, their peculiar tendencies scarcely de-
vcoped their revolutionary trials and triumphs
still green in memory, found Union impossible
without compromise, the thirty-One of this day
will yield somewhat in the conflict Of opinion and
policyto preserve than Union which has extended
the sway Of republican government over vast
Wilderness 10 another ocean, and proportonately
advanced their civilization and national great
ness.
3. That I'm this spirit we have maturely consid-
cred The action Of Congress, embracing series
OF mcasUes-for the admission OF California in
10 The Union, the organization of territorial gov
Cmmcuts for Utah and New Mexico, the estab-
l.shment OF boundary between the latter and the
state of Texas, the suppression of the slave trade
Iu the District Of Columbia, and the extradition
of fugitive slaves, and connected with them, the
rejection of the proposition TO exclude slavery
from the Mexican territories, and to abolish it in
the District Of Columbia-and whilst we do not
wholly approve, will abide by it, as permanent
adjustment of this sectional controversy.
.. That i'm our judgment, we will and ought to
resist. even (as last RESORT disruption Of ev-
cry tie which binds her to the Union, any action
OF Congress upon the subject of slavery in the

South Carolina.


We would call the attention Of the readers
Of this paper, to the consideration Of one
fact, whichwe desire, they would ponder well,
before they cast their votes, at the approach
ing election, tits this, the moral Influence
which the election Of Gen. Quitman and his
supporters, will produce upon the future ac-
ton Of the State Of South Carolina. Wheth-
or Gen. Quitman aud his adherents are disun-
ionists or not, is a question we do not 1T this
time intend to discuss. There can lie no
doubt Of the fact that the people Of South
Carolina are decidedly in favor Of a disrup-
ton Of this Union. No man will-deny that
fact. The only question which at this time
produces the least division amongst the peo-
pie of that State, Is, whether they shall pro-
coed to withdraw from the Union, by separate
State action, or defer ituntil they are enabled
to procure the joint action of one or more Of
the southern States; or at least such NANTES
tation of sympathy upon the part Of por-
ton of the southern States, as will satisfy
the people of that State, that by separate ac-
ton on her part, in case of collision with the
general government, she may involve the
southern States with her in general resist
ance, to the constitution and laws of the U.
States. This being the position of Carolina
at this time and having been checked in her
mad career, and brought to this state of hes
itancy, by the moral influence, produced by
the position of the States of Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia and other southern States
in relation to disruption of the Union, hel
attention and hopes are now fixed upon the
action and decision of the State of MISSISSIPPI
| pi in her approaching election.
However Gen. Quitmau and his supper,
tiers may deny to the people of this State any
immediate Or ultimate design upon the I'm
ion of these states, there is one thing which
the people cannot fail to perceive and that is
strong sympathy for the course taken by
the State of South Carolina, and another
fact cannot have escaped their notice, thai
the Quitman party of this State, are consid
cred by the people of South Carolina, as de
cided secessionists. AS evidence of this las
assertion read the toasts recently given in va
rious places in that state at our late nation
al celebration. The election then of Gen
Quitman and his party would behaiIed BY
the people of South Carolina, as triumph
of her disanion doctrines, and would in all
probability induce her, to push forward hel
mad schemes for dissolution of the union,
believing she would have a strong ally in the
State of Mississippi; but the defeat of Gen
Quitman and his party, would satisfy Caro-
lima, that if she seeded from the union, she
must go alone, without the sympathy "aio
and comfort of any southern State, and VIC
are satisfied from recent developmen'~in that
State, that she will take no such i,-h step as
this. Hence the great importance II The G.
lection in this State. Friends of the union,
be not deceieed, cast you votes with care and
elaboration, for upon the moral influence
alone, Of this election, in all probabilty,,bangs
the destiny of your country.
