AS we before remarked, our dissent from
the policy of silent and passive acquiescencc
in the settlement of the slavery question by
Congress, - far excited tie displeasurc Of a
few Union partizans, as to provoke the fol
lowing allusion, while NC Commented upon /
the az t,-onsite tendencies Of southern opin-
ion. The annexed extract is contained in
bur paper of September 18th, 1850
s 1T will probably be reeollected by some of
our readers, that while on one hand we are
.anked as submissionists for advocating the +
adjustment bills as an honorable compromise
# thesslayery question, we have been on the II
,ther hand, meanly slandered with the titleof a
lisunionist by few specimens of geological I,
gentry who according to the approved defini-
ion of the hyena, five altogether by eating J
nd drinking, and who though they know a t
,out as much of the constitution of the III. Ia
'tatcs, as they doof the Koran or Talmud, ;
onceived that the stability Of the government
nd integrity of the Union rested upon their
houlders and all this too, simply forour.ad- Ed
coating the propriety Of q frank and anthem II
ic declaration on the part Of the Southof her !,
esolute purpose to resist any farther agitation !,
r encroacllment upon her institutions by a
iolation of the late settlement. Et
Nowit just turns ont that public opinion
-om Virginia TO Floridais Just settling down
pom the very basis we advocated, and the }
nionists are all ralIying on It as the true plat
1rln. while even a portion of the ultra press |
ii as their settled policy. We could Fl
lultiply proofs without number, but content
urselves with the following high authorities,
ne democratic the other wing They fully j
ndorse what We had occasion to say on this II
inject last week: E
20 The manifestation of dissolution spir- +;
it arc rapidly fading from the southern hori-
zon. The Savannah Georgian, the organ of
the late disunion party, now spreads abroad g
the banner of the Lnioa SDutltcl7ts I1iyits n
Party. The Columbus Times, another most q
violent ultraist, abahdons the idea of seces- :
sion at present; and, indeed, throughout all
Georgia, the Union and Disuion and Disun-
ion parties are drawing togethct upon aeon 7
mon platform. That platform is, to stand 81
by the late compact of Congress, but to re- &,
gard the abolition of slavery in the District, j,
the introduction of the trade between the !
States, the enactment of the NYilmot Provii- "
so, or the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, Ii
as demanding resistance, though that resist 3
ance should create a dissolution of the I'm !
ion. That is undoubtedly thetrue platform,
and upon that the wholc@south will stand by EEa
beside OF. Georgia. under one flag and with o
unbroken ranks. - Rich. Rep. u
- we contend that when the convention b
meet they are bound to make public decla- IS
ration of the course. which Georgia and the
whole south should pursue. Such a. decla- :
ration from convention, the majority of e
which wehope viii consist.o of the friends of n
the Compromise, viii come with redoubled h
force to warm their. brethren of the North, s.
and to unite the whole south in defence.
They ought to show that they meet. to pre- =
serve, not to dissolve the Union, and that g
the only way to preserve it is to carrysout =
the fugitive slave bill, and to forbear further
aggressions; otherwise; that the South will s.
unite to defend her own RICH Is and her.own
honor. - Wash. mon. Is
