the governmental separating the living
body from the dead carcass. These are
my opinions. They cannot be carried
out by us alone. | know it feel it
AS sensible man, it is left for me to
take the next best course. Wha, is it?-
In the first place, let me tell YOU that |

would never post a sentinel who would
not swear that Slavery is right.
Now. MIR. Fillmore is privately a very
respectable gentleman. He made good
President: and j believe, sincerely, that
If elected, he would desert his own party,
and make a better President than we

Now, fellow-citizens, | want the South
to come square up to MIR. Buchanan
Let US do our duty. Let us test the ex-
pertinent of our friends, and if it fails,
then we can with the more grace ask them
10 adopt our councils for the future. l am
by no means confident of the election of
Mr.. Buchanan. | think it probable that
J. c. Fremont may be the next President.
| am not going to commit the State of
South Carolina. / am not going to COM
init any Congressional District. speak
as a man-as private gentleman-as a
Shareholder and tell you our that our
hope is alone in the South, and the only
hope available is for the South by some
act TO effect the dissolution Of the Ameri-

you intimate to me that you want me to go

and | know their patriotism will call upon
them to take, if must be, subordinate
command in doing their duty. Loud ap-
plause.
