will show the delay incurred by the post-ofice.
Under all imbecile administrations of govern
ment, questions of discomfort and controversy
arise, both at home and abroad This occurs eth
from impoicy and inadequacy, or from folly and
precipitation in the executive economy and often
from both, in alienation or promiscuously. The
federal policy of the North, to elect an incompe-
tent and mbecile President, is doubtless dictated
by the design and intention to obtain a regency
or an irresponsible Cabinet and to usurp the
Executive functions, for the punder of the treas
ury-for tribute from the people, and for promo
ton, splendor and profusion This is certainly
not done with a view to public frugality disci-
pline, and could not have been the object in the
fraudulent elections of 1910 and '48. Such re-
gencies favor instructions and changes of the
government; they invite foreign aggression and
war, and especially in a country like the South,
abundant in wealth and opuence. The dissipation
and extravaganza, the prodigality and profigacy
of the regency of Philip d Orleans, the duplicity
and fragrant knavery of Laws fiscal scheme, and
the debauchery and prostitution of the reign of
Louis 18th of France, afford historical instruc-
ton and admonition, which, with many other SINH
lar examples, full of disaster and perdition, should
not be forgotten, but should improve an intelli-
gent and virtuous literary and sober community.
With majority of rs electoral votes, the North,
in all future time, viii elect under whatever
guise she may assume, federal President AL
ready she bows to the examples and dictation of
British policy. Already her citizens vie in pre-
sents, for ''the Worlds Fair offered to the
royal majesties of Britain, and such favors at
home, are proffered to aristocratic functonaries
and defectious demagogues She covers before

disguise, of the American republic and the South

Of this nature and character. They go for acqui-
escing in northern usurpation and supremacy; are
Submissive to wrong, and proceed TO embrace
uzion of afiliation and fraternity with the black
and obsequous negro. This course being ercep-
tona6le the doctrine of social uRiOn then divides
itself into legitimate white union under COM
pact Megitinaate and piebald uejon, under
broken or arbitrary compact. This is therefore a
spurious or bastard union for, sir, the will of
majorities does not bind minorities, Iegtiately
of right without their consent under a compact
since an appeal to force might cost the majority a
defeat, or at least great loss sacrifice, and as
the minority might win a Uictory, with much profit
and at a small sacrifice. To such results the par
ties are liable The policy of Britain is profuse
and profigate, rapacious and injurious and is
therefore unworthy of virtuous imitation. Her
public debt is four billions of dollars its yearly
interest is one hundred and fifty millions. She is
then bankrupt and insolvent, and in her despera-
ton, lives by fraud and imposture, extortion and
/ piracy. Her spies and emissaries are, with this
view, and for no other reason, deputed to every
quarter of the globe. After the American revo-
lution she seized the. colonies of most other ma
tions she planted Sierra Leone, with slaves from
# England, Halifax and the United States she by
treaty with other States, to suppress the slave
trade captures negroes not to restore them to their
homes, but to settle this colony situate, like Lii

much certainty and havoc, await their cruel, sinful
and criminal introduction She liberated the slaves

of Central America and her ministry by an
agent Anderson, now proposes to receive the me-
groes of the United States and of course the
refugees from service and those in Canada, into
this new country. These mischievous schemes in
her policy have instgated faction and agitation to
promote her conspiracies, and matured political
and religious heresy and sectionalty at the North
The puritan States were secular in politics, from
the formation of the federal constitution. While
republican tenets, under republican compact are
the only legitimate political doctrines in such q
community, at least, till the compact is changed
and the republic transformed by popular agreement
or consent into another kind of government
All other political creeds are therefore heretic0t
I'LL such change, and impair the equality and the
rights of man, both before and after it. None
but republican creeds and discipline, in matters o.
TenIg1on, are sound and real piety, as humbly
believe according to the sacred scripture Fol
these regard the equal rights of man, accurately
ana 'mpartally, Submission then to obvious
"fong, OF material consequence, is irrepubcan
