From the Greenoills Is. o. Patriot.

Vne CONSEQUENCES Oh SoCeoolous
We abandon the Union, and involve ourselves in
a conflict of arms with the United States. Every
man capable of bearing arms will have to abandon
his business and repair to the tented field. The
property Of the State would have to be consumed
in taxes or driven out of the State. Thousands
and tens Of thousands of our citizens would
leave the State with their families and property
Business Of every kind would be interrupted. The
present high prosperity and happy condition of
South Carolina would vanish. The direct trade to
Charleston will be useless; no goods would be i'm
ported. The merchants of that city would have
to leave IT, Instead of exciting the sympathy Of
the other southern States, should incur their
displcasure and hatred. Such step ON the part Of
South Carolina is reflection their patriotism
and intelligence. They have all, except Mssissip-
pi, expressed themselves Satisfied with the Com
promise, If faithfully carried out. This is doing
and has been done.
Already many of our best citizens are prepar-
ing to leave the "sinking ship" and many others
have expressed determination to send off their
if South Carolina does seccdc. We know
a gentleman of this place. of the largest slave
holders. if not the largest, in the upper part Of
South Carolina, who is now preparing to quit the
State. where he has resided for thirty years. before
our troubles commenced, and take up his abode in
the upper part of Georgia. There is a merchant
Of this town, who has branch Of his business in
Augusta, and who has always heretofore ordered
his shipments to Charleston, has recently directed
them to Savannah, in order TO keep clear of our
troubles! These are only indications of what mis-
chief and ruin may expect TO follow in the train
Of secession.

among the latter, as the mere instrument of
those who know better.
With regard to the editors of the Union we
entertain no doubt. They are sagacious men.
1t is to their interest that their readers should
see but one side Of the question. and they do
wisely when they close their columns against
all discussion. Were they to do otherwise, the
leaders Of the party would be, We think, in
danger of finding themselves without followers
We have required again to this subject be-
cause we desire our readers distinctly to mark
that our opponents seek to maintain their power
by preventing the diffusion of light; while we
hold that the Wing party has every thing to
gain by its diffusion. They show their sense
of the weakness of their position by their de-
termination to prevent discussion; while we de-
sire to evince our confidence in the strength Of
ours by willingness to lay before our readers
the arguments of our opponents as well as those
of our friends They desire to succeed by aid
of the votes of men who have read but one side
of the question, and are ignorant of their true in
terests. We desire to obtain the aid of men
whose judgments have been convinced by an
examination of both sides of the question, and
who are prepared to record intelligent votes in
favor of the great truth, that the true and only
road to freedom of trade lies through protection.

THE PREsIDRNT's PEoCLAMATIoN.-The Presi
dents proclamation in reference to the Cuba af
fair exhibits manly and proper determination to
maintain the neutrality and the good faith Of the
nation. None will have more real reason to be
grateful to the President for his efforts to arrest
lawless invasion of Cuba than the misguided ad-
venturers themselves, who, if they could-succeed
in landing in that island, would step at from
the coast to prison and the scaffold. We know
not whether TO wonder most at the proHigacy or
the folly Of such an attempt. What would DO our
opinion Of neighboring people who should invade
US in like manner If the Cubans are oppressed
why should they not show it by rising themselves
If they afraid to do that, they will be too
ardly to assist any small buccaneering party which
may come to their rescue from any other country.

We are not much surprised to find that the
Union, under its new direction, is disposed to
take the same view of public affairs that we
have been accustomed to find in its columns
since its establishment. The Union still re-
tains, also, most flexible and elastic regard
for the will or the opinion Of the majority. II
it accords with its own will or opinion, it is all
right--otherwise it is all wrong. This is il
Illustrated in its views of men as well as OF
measures. The amount of personal worth or
popularity, for instance, can shield the mem
DRY Of General HARRISON or of General TAY-
LoR from wanton and malignant assaults,
though they were both elevated by grateful
and admiring people to the highest Office in
their gift. The old cant of the so-called De
mocratic press, that the people had put "men"
in office and "not principles"--as if TAYLOR
and HARRISON were men without principles
has been revived by the Union.
In the same connection, and with the view
of carrying out its apparent policy of detractine
from the fame Of our great soldiers, the Union
admits in it's editorial columns an imputation
against the nationality of General Scorr, and
an article from an exchange paper in which
that illustrious leader is represented as man
.sdevoid of common sense and common cour-
tesy." Is this language fit to be employed in
reference to man who fills so large space in
the history Of his country as General ScoTr2

Silver MINs IN VRoiMA.A valuable silver

farm OF Messrs. Jamcs and Dennis McSherry, of
Jeferson county, Virginia, situated on the east
bank Of the Shenandoah river, and at the base Of

..The Presidents message, at the opening the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
surcs of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle nj
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impcrfections. yet, in Their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system Of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
. tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hcred to, until time and experience should de-
monsrate the necessity of further legislation u
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, &C
tAr ~ know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security Of
the Constitution requires this; and every consde
