"Sir, the next contest will be momen

of Slavery, and the constitutional rights o

and we will TRAMPLE your usurpations

presidential election the North will decide
the probable fate Of the Union. If the

In the House, April o, Hon. E. S.
SHORTER, of Alabama, said:
"Do not believe that the South, less
patriotic now than in the days of the Rev
olution, will quietly submit to the sacratice
of her rights, and STILL CLING TO
UNION? If such is public opinion at
the North, let it be at once undeceived.-
We understand gentlemen, what our rights
are under the Constitution, and with the
blessing of God we mean to maintain them,
are ask for nothing more-aUM be content
~iA nothing less;
1 hope and pray God that my section of
the Union may never again, in an evil hour,
be inclined to 'compromise' with the North
on the subject of Slavery.
l believe in the right of "a sovereign State
to secede from the Union whenever she de-
termines that the Federal Constitution has
been violated by Congress; and that this
Government has no constitutional power to
coerce such seeding State.
I think South Carolina mistook her
remedy-secession and not nulifcation
ought to have been her watch-word.

The extraordinary exertions made by
Massachusetts, and the Black Republican
party of the North, to rob the South of
her equal rights in the Territories, has had
one effect. You have thoroughly aroused
the Southern States to sense of their dam
ger. You have caused them COOLLY
TO ESTIMATE THE VALUE OFTHE
UNION and we are determined to main
tain our EQUALITY IN IT, OR INDIE
PENDENCE OUT OF 1T.

The south has planted itself where it in
tends to stand or fall, UNION OR NO
UNION, and that is, upon the platform
laid down by the Georgia convention.
We tell you plainly that we take issue
with you; and whenever you repeal the
fugitive slave law, OR refuse to admit
State on account of slavery in her consti-
tuition, OR our equality in the Territories
is sacrificed by an act of Congress, THEN
the star of this Union will 60 down 10
RISE NO MORE.
Should we be forced to DISSOLVE
THE UNION in order to preserve South
ern institutions and Southern civilization,
we will do it in PEACE, if we can; IN
WAR IF WE MUST; and let the GOD
OF BATTLES decide between us.
The shadows, sir, of the COMING
STORM already darken our pathway. II

The Richmond Enquirer, the leading Or
gan of the Buchaniers, in its issue of Au-
gust 20, says:
"Let her, 1.-THE South if possible, de-
ZACH Pennsylvania and Southern Ohio,
Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois,
rom the North, and make the highlands
between the Ohio and the Lakes the divi-
ling line. Let the South treat with Cal
fornia, and, if necessary, ally herself with
Russia, with Cuba, and Brazil"
The Charleston Mercury, the head and
ront of the Buchanan party in South Car
'lina, makes the following startling decla-
alton:
"THERE is NOT A SINGLE PUB
IIC MAN IN HER LIMITS TSouth
Carolina NOT ONE OF HER PRES
1NT REPRESENTATIVES, OR SEN
iTORS IN CONGRESS, WHO IS
NOT PLEDGED TO THE LIPS IN
EAVOR OF DISUNION."
Mr.. Gray will please put these choice
xtracts from leading Buchanan men, into
lis pipe, and smoke them, before he makes
mother attempt to fastcn disunion senti-
nents upon the Republican party.
