The True Doctrine of Secession.

The revolutionary right of State to
throw off intolerable oppression, is uai-
versally conceded But that the trainers
of our Constitution intended to confer
on each member of the Confederacy
the privilege of auatktng out at pleasure,
we never have believed. 3The folly
and danger Of secession" is clearly set
forth in the following article from the
South Carolina Southern Patriot:
Is it not very certain that the present
Federal Constitution would never have
been adopted had it contained the right
of a State TO secede from the Union a.
10 the old articles of Confederation,
where the States, alone, and not the
people were represented, it expressly
declared that the Union shall be perpet-
ual. The Federal Constitution was
formed to make that Union more per-
feet and so stated by iss trainers.
It was some time before New York
acceded to the Union, and ii was pro-
posed to do so for a limited time. The
correspondence between Alexander
Hamilton and Mr.. Madison on this sub
iect has recently been published, and
ought to satisfy every one that no such
principle as the right to quit the Union
would have been tolerated by the con-
trscting parties. When adopted, the
FEDERAL Constitution was to bind the
States forever.
If it had been the purpose of the
frlmers of the Constitutions to incorpo-
rate in the right of secession, it would
have been so expressed in the instru-
msnt itself. But with such a provision
init, the Constitution would have been
perfectly ridiculous as form of gov
erlment. II may with truth be said,
thst no such government ever did or
viii exist. r.
Let US see the consequences of this
right to secede. IF South Carolina
possesses it, every other State in the
Union has the same right. 1t belongs
to California, Louisiana and Florida, as
wdl as the original thirteen. In order |
to lave an outlet for your western com-
niece, il became absolutely necessary |
TO have Louisiana as a part of the |
United States. She was purchased by |
theF Federal Government for fifteen mil |
liois of dollars. The whole valley of |
the Mississippi above has been settled |
ane improved in consequence of the /
purhase. Can it be supposed now that
thisState of Louisiana, which was pur-
ch8ed with our money and isabsolutsly /
necessary to the prosperity of fourteen
OF fifteen States, has the right to secede

raised against them. This was the
first and last attempt made on Rec
River to sow the seeds of disunion unit
the action of the so-called District Con
vention came in to startle the whole
world-ineluding Cuba. We will now
leave the river. In the Ouachita coun
try we need not say South Carolina
doctrine has no support worthy the
name in the Attakapas region it dare
not raise its Gorgon head and go in
whatever direction you may, you will
not fiud corpora's guard arFayed in
opposition to the Compromise bills,
which originated with and were passed
by democrats, against the willy machi-
nations of a piebald opposition. In a
numberof parishes in the district above
aud below the Crocodile, public demo-
veutions have declared their attach
ment to the Compromise, and in no
parish of the district, with the single
exception of little jackson, have we
the slightest evidence of a disposition
adverse to this genuine southern senti-
ment; and that, we are assured. is
quite limited in extent. a
If we were disposed to hold our
friends responsible for the action of
this misnamed Compromise, or, indeed,
such a constituted body responsible for
anything, how inviting the opportunity.
1t was not enough that the people Of
the fourth district had on every occa-
sion repudiated secession views; it
was not enough that the talented and
eloquent Downs had invited the enc
mics of the Compromise to meet him
in debate whenever and wherever they
pleased not enough that no one Of
them would meet him at Trinity, due
notice of which meeting had been
given; not enough that all parish selec-
tions for office have been made from
Union men; not enough that no seces-
sion paper is published in this district.
and no legitimate secession meetings
have been held in it; not enough that
the friends of Gen. Downs in this his
own district are invincible in Numbers.
strength and organization all these,
and thousand other considerations.
could not deter an unofficial junta from
making an appearance, the most ridicu-
lous conceivable. We must certainly
admit thattheir conduct in the premises
was cool, very eool-and if such an act
does not place them on the narrow
path of Immortality, astrologers may
quit their calling, and soothsayers turn
their wands into pruning hooks. The
people of the district will learn with
that while they supposed
themselves to be in favor of the Com
promise. they are in fact opposed to it ! |
That the Alexandria Committee, deem |
ing them in a sort of Rip Van Wrinkle |
kindly undertook to do their
for them until a return of con
sciousness.
We confess that a growing feeling of |
crowds upon our pen as
We write. Again we positively and |
amphatically deny that these stoIid
resolutions reflect in the leas. the
opinions of any considerable portion of
he people of this district, and this we
will prove by the best of evidence in
iue course of time. Our friends shall
lot be placed in a false position, come
what NAV.
