The Richmond Enquirer-in renlv TO
a recent article of the North American of
this city, says: ~

or Ind. We are as rich as we care to

The Richmond Examiner (yirgiuia, J
says:
:" Repeatedly have we asked the North,
has not The experiment of universal lib

thinking men propose TO subvert and re-
constrlct 1t Still no answer. The
gloomy silence IS another conclusive evi-
dence we have furnished, that free socie-
ty IN the long run is an impractical form,
OF society; 1t Is everywhere starving de-
moraiiZed, lnsurrecnonary. We repeat,
them that policy and humanity alike for

ciety to new people and coming genera

way and cease to exist-the other become

We count upon il as an absolute GER

no matter how Just and reasonable the
cause, the whole physical force of the
North Will be used to compel the South 10

honor, (Which we do not mean to assert)
it will most assuredIv fight for money, and

tain from which flows its gigantic wealth,
without the bloodiest and most desperate
struggle that ever took place on this con-
unent. On this the South must calculate,

In case OF secession, every seeding
State would set up a Republic of its own,
we quote the following from Texas pa

VIII it not be we'll for Texas to con-

tain, Southern Confederacy will be

as becomes a part of this confederacy,
will she not have to bear heavy portion
of the Gurthen Of It's support, without re-
ceivings much, if any, of the advantages
! that accrue therefrom. To sustain the
rights and maintain the honor of South

dividing it from a Northern Confederacy,
opposed to its peculiar institutions, will re-
qmre men and money. Texas will have
to furnish her quota Of each. This, with

/ resources, and burden her citizens with a
system OF enormous taxation, Taking
! this view Of the subject, the question ari-
I scs, whether, in case of Il dissolution of
! the Union, it would not be advisable for
Texas to set up for herself, independent
of the other States.
The Savannah Georgian says:
f" Black Republicanism has manifestly
got a foothold in Baltimore. Winter Da-
Wis, her Representative, voted IN Congress
with the Fremonters, for the Army Ap-
preparation Bill, with It's abolition proviso,
and the Baltimore know-Nothing Conn
ellis have approved his vote. Some patri-
otic citizens, who to save Baltimore from

Carolina Times =
I'VE regard Pennsylvania as occupy
ing precisely the same position as those
of Massachusetts-they are not a whit
better. and we would regard it as bles-
sing, if the Union rs ever dissolved to get
rid of such an association. They are not
homogeneous with the people Of the South.
Their standard of morality, Christianity,
patriotism and respect for law and order
and right, is subject to the influence of the
