We hardly deem it necessary to say in this
despatch illu. rate these three points First that
a large majority of the people of south Caro- ina
favor OF separate secession Second, that the
character of the people justiies no other conclu-
sion than that they in earnest Third that there
abundant evidence to prove that they will 20 out
OF the Mon, unless far greater degree of compro
mise IS shown them by the North, than has been
or is now exhibited in the Northern States. In
deed, the greatest danger is that any concessions
now, however hberal-like the young Count of
Paris coming forward to save the throne of France
would come too late
Meantime, what have we from the North The
Nec York Heula introduces into Charleston, to-
day, the letters of Seward and John Van Buren, on
the slavery question, and the compromises, aud the
Fugitive Slave law. What is the effect J The Sc
cessonists strengthened in their policy of seces-
son These letters prove that there Is to be no mti
CATION, no abatement, of the abolition crusade upon
slavery, but that the is to 60 till slavery is

revolving scenes of It. Domingo. Sir, the idea en-
tertained by Seward and Van Buren, that there is
no longer any danger to the Union is full of danger
to the Union. MIR. Webster proclams it; but it
will not do TO suffer the abolitionists to infuse it
into the public mind, for it is dangerous to believe
it, if in believing to battle with oition-
lists. And that is the danger-that is the masked
battery from which Seward and his allies are firing
their broadsides against the Union and the al
ready shattered bulwarks Of the constitution.
But, again. In conversation, to- day, with a very
intelligent planter, he observed 90 But even sup

OF slavery, should be respected, by sort of forced
compliance for time; what we to expect from

tolerates slavery-they reject Christ because he
tolerated it-and the final war between the North
and South Is, after all, to be war between

progress of Northern fanaticism has tina, com.
Plexion We have none Of these internal synods Of
traitors to God and society in the South They
are too closely allied with abolitonism for the
states below the line Of Mason and Dixon. 9. The
sooner, said the planter, "we cut the acquain-
lance Of such horrible desperadoes and inccndaries
the better for safety. As open enemies we can
understand them and make our terms: Tut under
the same government with them, we must live in
continual fear of our lives and property. God
grant Us happy deliverancer' These views, so
expressed as they were, left deep i'm
future Of this Union appeared so gloomy under
this dark and fearful summing up Of the Northern
yaeobins They are the views of the Herald; but
from n Southern man, in South Carolina they ap-
peat more palpable than ever before.

harmony, We give you few Of the latest South
