CiFrsbf CoScEprIcN-TnE Exnru-
auaKE.-- announced Yesterday that the
city Of Conception, in Chill, had again been
destroyed By an earthquake In 1885 It
was laid in ruins by similar CONFUSION.
The n. ". Sun says.
The Conception of 1850 was but a
shadow Of what it was fiifeeIi years before:
In 1885 il was celebrated for many elegant
public buildings and private structures
At the time Of the earthquake there was
building and nearly completed, largeand
splendid c-thcdral-the finest in South A.
merica. This was thrown down, and lis
pillars and and stones scattered allovertlle
great square, with great loss Of life among
the workrnen.
The city Of Conception Is two hundred
miles South from Valparaiso, and stands
on Plain, perhaps two hundred feetabove
the levelof the sea. II is ninc miles from
the ocean, and Talcahuano is its seaport.
This latter place doubtless met similar
fate with Conception as it did in 1885,
when soon after the shock, huge wave,
one hundred feet high swept in from the
sea, and almostobliterated the town. Most
Of the inhabitants fled to the adjoining hills,
and here all the vessels in port were carli-
ed over beyond where the houses stood,
and left wrecks-saved, though many
We're overwhelmed. Talcahu iois much
rcsorted to by American wha g vessels,

vision can at all times be had

ment apparently abandoned-in short,
everything will be done to concilate the
Southern States, and keep them from go.
ing with us out of the Union. In the
meantime our separation from the Union
will be made as harrassing as possible by
the operations of the General Govern.
ment, to foster discomfort in South Caro-
lima, aud defeat the advantages which
will naturally arise from our separation.
This will be our real time of trial. To
hold on firmly to our purpose, of an en-.
tire redress for the past and security for
the future, or to keep out of the Union
forever, will task all our fortitude and
energy. Let them offer to us the Consti-
!!ntion of the United States, with that
equality of rights and privileges all its
spirit breathes; equality in Congress,
where the disparaging and insulting agi-
tation of the subject of slavery shall no
more enter forever; equality in taxation,
without determinations in favor of one
pursuit of industry at the expense of an
other; equality in the expenditure of
the taxes, by limiting appropriations to
the objects expressly specified in the Con-
stitution; equality in our Territories, at
least as far as thirty-six degrees thirty
minutes North latitude can bestow it from
our Indian Territories to the Pacific ocean;
let them offer to us these, and all of these,
secured to US by new and distinct guar
antees in the Constitution, and we will lis
ten to invitations to return into the Union.
To all else we should turn deaf, but re-
spectiul ear. These are now ours by
right, under the Constitution of the Uni.
ted States. The free States have des.
poiled us of them. If they wish such
a Union as the Constitution establishes
and their faith pledged them to observe,
they can have it, if they will propose it.
Any other it would be ins;It to offer

ports of the Union. The effect must be
that goods in Charleston, must be twenty
per cent. cheaper than in the ports of the
United States. To the agricultural inte'
rests of the State, no one can doubt the
benefit. Our planters and farmers and
all other consumers in the State, must be
supplied with goods twenty per cent chea.
per than they have heretofore obtained
them. 1t is clear, therefore, that to the
great mass of the people of South Caro-,
lima, secession, under such circumstances
must be advantageous. Property Of all
kinds must be more valuable, because
more profitable in South Carolina than
where the greater burdens exist. There
is but one interest which may be injuri-
ously affected, and that is the mercantile
interest Trade is very tiiH:?ia! 1t is liable
to panics; and when confidence is unim-
paired it is not easy to change the chan
nels of commerce, without some loss, al
though that change may be from less to
more profitable channels. Our merchants
will have to change their importations
from New York and Boston to Liverpool
and Havre, but they will get their goods
twenty per cent cheaper than in the ports
of the United States The merchants
in the interior of our own State will have
no inducement to go to New York, as
they now do, to lay in their supplies.
They will make thei" purchases in Char
lesion. Here is certain demand on the
commerce of Charleston, which does not
now exist. And out of our State, will
not the merchants Of other States for the
same cause, pursue the same policy! So
far as our importations from those States
are concerned we would be exactly as we
now are. The only difference in our
trade will be, that our merchants will be
able to Offer to those who send us their
productions from other States, their sup.
plies twenty per cent cheaper than here
toforo Will this interrupt their trade?
The Northern manufacturers and produ-
GERS, for whose benefit the high discrimi-
mating duties in the present tariff of the
U. States are laid, will certainly object to
such trade. They will be clamorous to
enforce out OF the Dc.,n'A ~ -:
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1851-05-08


with our commerce is, that it will be war
In seeding from the Union, South Caro-
lima will exercise right, which she, at
least, deems unquestionable. When she
has dissolved her union, with he" CO.
States, she puts an end to her copartner-
ship with them-she puts an end to their
common agent, the General Government,
so far as she is concerned So long as
the Union between them lasts, their com.
mon agent, with her consent, and by no
other means, discharges the duties which
by the compact of the Constitution, she
has agreed it shall discharge. But with
our separation from the Union, goes all
our relations with the other States Of the
Union. They are foreign nations, exact
ly on the same footing as Great Britain or
France. Their Government has no more
right to interfere with our commerce, than
the Government of Great Britain or
France. For either of these Govern
ments to attempt to collect taxes out of
us, by forcibly controlling our commerce
on the high seas or in our harbours, is
nothing more or less than levying military
contributions on us-making war. Of
course we will be compelled to fight with
all the means in our power, and with all
the allies we can command. We must
storm the forts if we can, where this ag-
grcssion is carried on, and capture the
ships of war employed against us. 1t
will be war on all sides-.war in the South
to subject the South, which will only end
in Southern Confederacy, or the utter
extinction of South Carolina as State.
If the Government holds on to our forts
merely as property belonging to the Uni
ted States, it may be question whether
we ought not to pay for any property our
co-states, through the General Govern
ment might own in South Carolina. But
in doing this the account must be opened
all around with our sister States. 1t vii!
be upon them to show that the property
in South Carolina exceeds our due pre-.
portion of expenditure from the Treasury
of the United States, when compared
with the expenditure which has taken
place in the other States of the Union
The public lands must also be broughtin-
to the account, with our navy and the pub
lie buildings in Washington The debt
for the war and purchase of California
should be debited exclusively to the free
States, since they have appropriated the
whole of it to themselves. At all events,
we will honestly and fairly meet any pro-
position, to adjust any pecuniary liabili-
ties our withdrawal from the Union may
involve. But war cancels all obligations.
If they choose it, we must accept of it.
But | repeat, do not believe that war of
any kind will follow as consequence of
our secession from the Union, because
war cannot prevent it, and will only lead
to wider disruption Of the Union. 1t
will be far easier indeed in my opinion,
to get out of the Union, than to keep out
of it. You see the movement already
made in Virginia to keep us from going
out of the Union. Such movements will
be multiplied after we arc out of it to in-

on them in the ports of other States
Mississippi would thus be not practically
independent-not independent in that
greatest function of all Government, the
greatest test of liberty with our Anglo
Saxon race-the imposition Of taxes
She will, therefore, not go out Of the
Union with us. Cooperation with her
in measure Of secession is out of the
question, and probably it is better for us
that she should not go out of the Union
along with us. In the Union she will
have a certain influence on the other
Southern States, which we, out of it,
would not possess. Our final object is
beyond single State secession; and we
will want States in, as well us out of the
Union, to bring on that object to its ac-
complishment. With the failure of Mis-
sissippi to give us her cooperation, ends
all Southern cooperation: no Southern
Congress will meet. Our sister Southern
States decline our solicitation to meet MS
in counsel. They tell ms plainly, in de.
clining our invitation, "We will not, or
cannot aid you; take care of your own
destinies." Surely, if we now move on
alone to redress our common wrongs, no
charge Of precipitanoy, or Of ambitious
leadership, can, with any show of justice,
be made against us. We have done all
which delicate regard to their position
has required us to do. Wehave implored
them to lead us. We have implored them
to cooperate with us. They will do
neither; after pledging themselves to do
both. Now, then, that we take our fate
into our own hands, are we not entitled
to their sympathy-ther hearty good
wishes for our success? For my part, if
they will give US these, it is all would
desire in the present state Of things in the
South. A Southern Congress now, would
be our ruin. With Virginia, Maryland,
Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee-in such
a Congress, what would be its counsel! +!
Submission; submission for themselves,
submission for us; and should we in dis
gust retire from the Congress we our
selves had invoked or cast their counscls
under our feet, might we not excite the
resentment aud alienation of our sister
