Circular constructions, there is no
knowing oswhat extremity the State

Circular constructions, there is; no
knowing toswhat extremity the State
may be suddenly prccipitatcd.
One Of tho ondits is, that the Con.
vcntion, when it meets, is to pass an
ordinance Of secession to take effect
in future, and call upon the people
to sustain it, dencuncing all who re.
fuse to do SO as traitors, and sub.
jectins them as far ss possible to the
traitors doom. 81 qlr.
Another Of the ondits is, that the
convention upon its meeting will sim
ply organize, and after arranging
their plans for the political campaign
of October next, adjourn over till
after the election for members Of the
Legislature, when they will rc.as.
semble and secede, or rcsortto such
other action as the complexion of that
body may justify. This is the more
probable plan, but either will involve
the State in incalculablc misfortune.
There is 10 doubt, wo apprelcnd,
but each Of these plans has its
advocates, and whilst discussing their
respective merits, the authors Of the
secret Ctrcslar, arc neither too
Ignorant to plan, nor too tilni,l to
execute coup d'etat, a la Louis Ma
polcon, in a variety of other ways.
1t is time, therefore, if the people
prize the liberty they have inherited
from their fathers, that they should
demand an explanation of all these
things. They have been led lHnd-
folded long enough, and the purposes
of their rulers should be spread be-
fore them in the light of day before
it is too late. 1t is time the seces-
sion press and secession orators who
coalesce with, and arc in the secrets
of the powers that be, should explain
the objects for which the convention
is to meet. And if this be not done
voluntarily at an early day, cihigh-
est interest of the people demand
that they should call upon their dele
gates elect to the convention for q
distinct avowal Of Individual sen
ti.ncnt, with pledge either to rep
resent them truly. or resign the
power accidently and unwittingly
conferred upon them by a lean min
ority Of The people. If the people
intend to rule as of yorc, they must
look to their own interest nor.

The Hungarian Esornda.

The arts Of modern civilization,
and the character of modern war,
have rendered the whole system of
international rights and duties mate.
rally independent Of the laws and
treaties heretofore rcsorted to for its
regulation. 1t is well settled that
the citizens or subjects Of neutral ma.
tions have no right to assist, by mill
tary expeditions or by munitions of
war, those who arc engaged in con-
flict, or to disturb, by such means,
the existing institutions or govern
ment Of other States. And, we
think, it is generally the duty of both
government and people in one State,
to abstain from any sort Of interior
ancc with the affairs Of another.
But the time has arrived when statute
laws no longer have power to enforce
this duty. The freedom of the press
in one State, in England, for instance
may be more dangerous to tie tran
guilty Of France or Russia, tnan q
license to fit ont armed expeditions
to reyolutionizc them.
But there is an agent still more
subtle and uncomfortable than the
press j odcrn warfare, and that is
money. And the use of this, for the
purpose Of interfering in the affairs
others, has never, wo believe, en-
countercd prohiJitory enactment.
When the Emperor Of Austria was
engaged by his armies in reducing
Hungary to submission, and when
the Emperor of Russia was helping q
him, both Of them could send their
agents publicly into the money mark.
etof England or any other country,
for loans, and thcro was no law to
forbid them, Well, if they can do
so, OF course Hungary can do the
sane thing, and hence it results that
the most practical and formidable in
tervcntlon is beyond the reach of
law. For largo loan to Hungary
would unqucstionable have been of
more service to hcr in the late strug.
gle. than the aid of thirty thousand
men from another State. And even
II a law existed to prohibit such loans,
it could not be enforced. Such then
being the case that there remains no
practical legal restraint on the in
fraction OF international duties, tho
sole remedy is a moral one.-the
sense Of right and the force of pub.
lie opinion. a
Now, VIC suppose it is quite plain
The Sumter banner. [volume] (Sumterville, S.C.) 1846-1855, 1852-02-17

enough from wha. We have seen in
the last few years, that iii no State
can this be relied on. And yet, as
intervention is one Of the most q.
Sravating and adequate causes ot
war that can arise, we find the ma.
tions Of the world brought by their
own progress in civilization to a liza,
bility Of war, for which there is no
remedy. i
The diversity Of institutions re.
mains; nay, has actually become
great between tlie. different States:
and the power ofsthe press and the
purse, the two luightiest weapons of
attack that the age affords, is en-.
ployed at the will of the contendiny
parties all over the world, regardless
of geographical and political distinc.
tions. These agents defy not only
the rcstictiens of statute law, but the
hitherto more formidable limitations
of space. American. can interfere
with hungary and With Russia moro
easily now than formerly with Cana
da. But, then, what is the conse-
qucnce Why that they can inter
tere quite as easily:with us; they can
send money here. The party Of in.
tervention here make large loans or
donations to the Kossuth and Kinkcl
fund, to oveltllrow the existing sov..
ernment Of Austria. Suppose lie.
Emperor Of Austria Was to retort b.
sending over large sums to DESTROY
our own? Suppose he were to send
money to Abolition em;sarics, to ex.
cite slaves to Observation-Disclosures
ne were to supplytbe Indians, or the
Mormons, with money to assail our
Western fronticr Suppose he were
to subsldizc presses III this country
and to supply funds to aidsthe defeat
OF a lrcsidential Intervention candi.
datcs Would not every body+see at
once thar suciiiI d system Of h1Iost;];ties
speedily result in war, and IN wars
Of determination!
And what, after all, is the merit
OF tins money warfare? 1t is the
sort of war i'll which the rich and the
powerful will have the advantage
over the poor and the weak. The
largest purse will have the odds in
Its favor. And is it becoming the
genius, the policy of those who pro-
less to be so devoted to the right, to
the argument, to invoke the interyen
ton OF Il weapon or warfare in
which their antagonists will have 50
largely the advantage?

-anothcr Assault auDoia Tho
Soysfrs

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, explaining Sena.
tor James project for rcvisiting the
Tariff Of '46, says:
lie proposes simply to discriminate
between high priced and low priced
articles entering into general con-
sumption. The duty on the hiyh
priced articles is to be increased, and
that on the low priced articles is to
be diminished. BY this means the
heaviest burthon will fall on the rich
the consumers Of the costly arti.
cles; while the tax on the poor-thc
consumers of the low priced article,
will be essentially reduced.
Now this sounds very plausible =
to diminish the duty upon articles
consumed oy the poor, and to in,
crease tho taxes of the rich. But
this prctcnce is utterly hollow, and
has no sort of connection with Scna-
tor James real object. The facto,
rics Of the South manufacture Glow
priced articles" at SO small cost
that they have almost monopolized the
manufacture of the coarser cottons,
confining the North to the finer and
more costly fabrics. Now Senator
James project proposes to diminish
the protection to Southern factories,
and to increase the protection to
Northern factories. This is what it
is in substance, and what it is intend.
cd to be. We have no objection to q
general decrease of duties, but we
are opposed to such a decrease as
will benefit the North and injure tho
South--Petcrsbmy Democrat.

the complete reformation Of the very
laws and institutions OF, Ireland. the
Catholic misery continued to increase
until it menaced the existence LAS
well as fortunes of all the classes
above the peasantry.
The English people deeplYtinter.
estcd, for many reasons, III 5itiie con.
dition of Ireland, saw with regret
some of the best measures for that
conntry's relief thrown over, not by
the State Church party, (Ireland;s
old enemy,) but by the Irish party
in both houses of the legislature. =
The upper class Irish were no exccp-
ton to the general rule of selfishness
which ani,nates all privileged classes.
They resisted all those changes
which, in modifying their oRn position
might have benefited the people
They wanted great deal from Eng
land; but they wanted it all for them
selves. Yet, unqucstionably, many
OF those measures could not have
failed to have benefited them equal
ly with the peasant.tenant and far
mer. Where now are many Of tho
landlords? Emigrants like the Fpeo-
pie, or lodged with them III the work.

estates? Divided and also to Eng
lishmen and Scotchmen, who viii cnl-
tivate them most proftably, free
from the action of their. sel6shness.
or the abuses Of the old system.
1t can be no matter Of surprise.
therefore, if Englishmcn, the most
ardent and enthusiastic in Ireland's
defence, express opinions apparently
unfayorable to her. Some assert
with energy that had ireland been

and consequently, to free action
These persons assert, and they are
numerous, that Irish energy is kept
down by somhthing more than laws
and prosecutions, and that whereSa
people have got hold of right prin-
ciple to direct its mental energies,
and freely develop them, that5people
must and will be free.
