THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. While we acques-
ced, as were bound to do as State Rights men,
in the decision of the Georgia Convention whereby
the compromise of 1850 was accepted as tinality
on the slavery question, and always have
been convinced that the civilization Of the North and
of the South is antagonstic and will sooner later
result in deadly feud between the sections. Prior to
the decision of the Georgia Convention, and the
party with which acted advised the South to lay
down an utimatum this harrassing subject, and
require the North to accept it. and thus avert forever
the dangers which threatened the internal peace of
the South and the stability of the Union from cease
less agitation and if the North refused to yield to
our Just and reasonable and constitutional demands
to secede peaceably from the Union. Our counsels
were disregarded, the patriotic who acted with
were denounced as traitors, and the compromise
was accepted instead a tinality! And such fl
nality! No the great cardinal principle
of the compromise applied, in subsequent legislation
to the Nebraska bill, than all the smouldering fires
of abolition burst afresh and the whole northern
horizon blazes with the lurid light of abolition.
Any preceding excitement which has prevailed at
the North on the painful subject, compared to
this, the gentle swell of the ocean, when famed
by the evening zephyrs to the fierce waves which
lash the heavens when swept by the wing of the
tempest. The impious wretches defy the laws of
both God and man, and despse the use OF any other
in carrying out their nefarious purposes than
brains and balls Even the blessings which the
Union has poured upon the North in a golden food,
until her rocky hills and promontories bloom like a
garden, are denied to have come from this source,
the oldest and closest political ties broken asun
der without regret; the whole rank and file of the
Wing party North have marched, with colors dying
and drums beating the fugitive's march, into the
abolition camp; and close on their heels presses a
goodly number of both the soft and hard Democra-
cy, until, confident of success they boldly proclaim
their fixed Purposes to acquire the control of the
government, and WELD its immense power to the
building up of the North, and the pulling down of
the South until the institution of slavery shall top
pie to the ground and with its fragments all
this glorious Southern land in which the graves
of fathers and the inheritances of our little ones
And what is worse, they able to accomplish
it if the North is united. There are but two reme
dies One has been repudiated. The other we have
held out to Southern brethren still hold out
in spite of the SCOTS of the Alabama Journal and the
labored wittcisms of the Chronicle and Sentinel.
The South must unite in serried rank and move like
embattled host, with fixed bayonets, and without
a dscordant football, upon the foe But even then
we will be out-hanked and over-powered. We must
have Northern allies. If they will enlist under our
banner, will not stop to inquire into their ante
cedents nor question their motives. If they desire
spoils let them strip the dead. They necessarily
march in theFVan, and this is guaranty enough of
their fidelity. But where are these allies? They are
the Democracy who stood by the Nebraska bill.
With their aid the South is certain of victory Will
