synopsis Of his remarks the duty Of the South in
the pending crisis Knowing the conservative character of
Gov Johnson and his unquesoned devotion to the Union
we attach little importance his views this subject
The Democrat furnishes the following brief abstract Of bis
remarks:
"Gov johnson in hs speech Wednesday, when aludng
persistent onaughts Of the fanatics the North upon
the rights and institutions Of the South made remarks
upon which people should deeply and an1ousy
ponder in the present crisis Of public affairs Would that
bis voice had had the power reach the hearts
every man In the South from the busy mAs eastern
the quiet foresight hamets Of the far West
He stated that although he disunonis- although
would deeply deplore the necessity Of desc
OF the ties which bind the South the Northyet the
time had come for the former take firm and decided
stand-to plant herself upon the rights guaranteed her BY
the constitution aud by them to stand for them
fall He said she had conceded portion after portion Of her
rights until there but few remaining, and that she
could make concessions to this spirit Of northern
aggression without sacrifice Of every principle Of honor
bringing upon herself disasters Of tho drcst character
The word compromise he said he had stricken from his vo
cbuary and ought be stricken from the vocabulary OF
every true southern Compromise involved sacrifice
Of right Vice. he said would not hesitate into
controversy with virtue II II thought there prospect
Of settling the difficulty by compromise just the extent
Of compromise virtue would lose and vice triumph SO
falsebood would gladly get into struggle with truth,
did suppose there prospect Of ending the fight by
compromise, for just to the extent Of that compromise
would truth lose and falsehood triumph.
In like he said the North Is perfectly willing to
get into controversy with the South upon subject Of
her rights and then offer compromise knowing that should
her terms be accepted just the extent Of such compromise
the South would be shorn Of her just dues and she would
triumph
1--WE have in these hasy remarks done nothing like justice
TO this portion Of Gov Jehnson speech II was compounded
Of that good sense, undispued fact sound reasoning and
that sort Of soquenoe which finds s way directly TO the
heart, and had tremendous effect upon the crowd"

who would sacrifice all but honor for the preservation Of
