WHAT WILL THE SOUTH Do?-The fol-
lowing is an extract from letter by the
Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, which
lately appeared in the Washington Union :
"Should Fremont be elected, I shall be
satisfied that a majority of the people of the
free States entertain towards US feelings
that render the idea of living with them on
terms of equality hopeless. The issue pre-
scnted by his nomination. the antecedcnts of
those who brought him forward, the opinion
and purposes avowcd by every speaker at eve
ry meeting of his party, are such that no
Southern man would dare incur the infamy
and odium ofaccepting Office under him. The
whole machine of government in the South
crn States must be stopped, unelss Northern
men can be found bold enough to come a.
mong us and undertake the collection of the
revenue, and the execution of the laws of a
government from which we shall be practi-
caliy excluded. Each aggression on our
rights, if submitted to, will lead to new and
more aggravated attacks, and we shall, after
a protracted struggle, at last be obliged to
choose between the alternatives Of unquali.
fed vassalage or separation. But in such a
struggle, not only will the proud spirit that
now anilnatcs US have been impaired, but
we will have lost allies that an earlier, open
resistance would have rallied to our support.
7 do not hesitate to declare that if Fremont
be elected, the Union cannot and ought not
to preserved. What particular course should
be pursued, | am not now prepared to say.
In so fearful contingency, I should be un-
willing to act without some definite manites-
tation of the will Of my State This can
only be given through the Legislature, or, if
time allowed, by a convention Of the people,
called by the legislature. Whatever be the
mandate Of Louisiana, shall be prepared
to carry it out in letter and in spirit"
JOHN SLIDELL.

Is there no remedy for this q? But ONE
the union of the South for the sake of the
South. Would that We had a tongue of fire,
that we might preach to Southern men in
glowing language that should stir the inmost
depths of their souls to the gospel of "south-
ern Union" But we fear we should preach
in vain. Yet we did think, when we felt
the vibrations of that thrill of JOY that pre-
vaded the country when the platform and
the nominations of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton were announced, that another golden
opportunity was offered for the realization of
our dearest wishes. May it not be so yet?
If the South would give Mr.. Buchanan not
merely the majorities he will undoubtly re-
ceive, but an unanimous vote-if the South
should for once show all united and compact
front, we should then know whether there
is conservatism enough at the North to with
stand and sublue the reckless agitators who
are menacing our liberties If thcrc be, and
it will secure us for the future, well. But
if there is not, then for once we will have
been united; and upon that union as ba-
sis, discarding all minor differences, all
State and local jealousics, all party asperity,
We will build as upon a firm and enduring
foundation the temple of Southern liberty.

faith-faith in the principles of Anglo-No
man nature--faith in The sufficient thickness
of Anglo, Norman blood, 10 prompt its pos
SCISSOR to do that which his interest and hon.
or require at his hands. And when our
Southern people shall be brought to release
their actual condition, then shall our vision
be bodied forth For that people is not
framed to subserviency. They have some
idea of rights and duties. They feel that
they are a dominant:racc, and know that
sclf-govcrnmcnt is their birthright.
Let us not, then, present false issues to
our people. We caunct allay Northern fa-l
Snaticisri by the empty threat of nonintcr-
course We cannot exercise the demon Of
sectional domination, by the subtles devices
ofpolitical logic. You may fight the dcvi!
with fire, but this demon can be driven out
only by driving out the possessed section.
Short, of this, nothing can be done.
This is the sole issue for the people. y
dissolution Of their union is not to be thought
Of Their disconncction from the hireling
States is the one thing ncedful for their po-
itical salvation. This we must strive for;
pcaceablc if We can, forciLly if we must. 1t
can be accomplished peaceable by the con-
certcd action of the fifteen Southern States
and the sixteen Northern ones, Gu the prn.
ciple of ut; pos$;idctis-each section keeping
what it has. And, as to the public debt,
let each section agree to pay half Of it.
The fifteen Southern States will meet in
Convention at their Capital, Washington, to
agree upon Il Constitution for the Southern
confcdcracy, with the great advantage of be-
Ing, in great measure, homogeneous pco-
pie, whose leading pursuit is agriculturc.-
Taught by the stern lessons Of experience,
they will avoid some errors, and supply some
omissions, in the present organic law. The
question Of frontier can constitute no diff
Guilty; our sisters Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Missouri and Kansas, are now f:oa-
tier communities, and under much worse
circumstances than they will be, when we
have disconnected ourselves from the North.
The North is now hostile. 1t will then
be raciic. It's interest will compel it to be
so, and there will not be any sentiment in
clining it to be otherwise. The English are
anti.slavery, but they arc not onr enemies.
Our gallant old allies, the French, are anti
slavery, but they hold us not in hate. And
so the Northern people, when we release
them from their responsibilty-relieve thcr
from their completely (Which is our Duty
will entertain variety Of sentiments and
opinions about us, but these will be mere
distractions. They will cease to mediate
our ruin. They will forcso the suggestion
of assa$sinatiou-of midnight murder, and
ndiscriminatc slaughter. They will learn
to regard us with more Christian spirit.

Let it rather present to our contemplation
more substantial objects. Let it ask us
whether there can be any sense in the at

Whether there. can be any wisdom in at
tempting to keep upa union between the
North aud the South, when equality (the
vital princi pic of that union) is irrc'ricyably
lost? Whether the conImOuast prudence
should not compel the South to dissolve Il
connection which is annually transferring
millions Of her money to the Northern Sec
tion-wh;ch, whilst it fattcns On her spoil,
loudly threatens to use its wealth and pcwer
TO degrade and to crush us?
Instead of running after phantoms, let it
ask itself whether Abolition communities
should be permitted to have a voice in the
government of slavchoding communities!
Let it determine for itself that political prob

And farther, let it unite With US in ap-
pcalng to its own political mother, to the
Old Dominion, to join with us in driving out
of our Union the hircling States.
With Virginia as cur leader, and Mason

her agriculture and commerce upon solid
and permanent basis.

ing the string lock, he stood back and watch
ed for the next swell that would bring the
shark in range He had aimed the piece
some distance Of his mark, but yet a single
moment would settle his hopes and fears.
Every breath was heard, and every heart
in that old ship beat painfully. The boat
was yet some distance from the boys, while
the horrible sea monster was fearftlly near.
Suddenly the air was awoke by the roar ofa
heavy gun, and as the old man knew his
shot was gone, he sank back on the comb
ing of the hatch, and covered his face with
his hands as if afraid to see the result Of his
efforts, for if he had failed he knew his boy
was lost.
For moment after the report of the gun
had died away upon the air, there was
dead silence, but as the smoke arose from
the surface of the water, there was at first a
low murmur breaking from the lips Of the
men that murmur grew louder and strong
er until it swelled to a joyous, deafening
shout. The old gunner sprang to his feet
and gazed out upon the water, and the first
thing that met his view was the huge car
cass of the shark, floating with its belly up,
a mangled mass.
In o few moments the boat reached the
daring swimmers, and half dead with fright
they were brought on board. The old man
clasped his boy in his arms, and then, over
come by the powerful excitement, he lean
cd upon the gun for support. have seen

with great personal influence, and with tai
ents of commanding order to head the
movement, we reply that leaders have failed
for want of resolution, but never a resolu-
ton for want of leader. The circumstan-
ces will give birth to the men-battlcs make
heroes, not heroes battles, and when the oc-
casion arises it will be strange indeed if cut
of population of so many millions of men,
will not be found with the courage, prudence
and wisdom needed for the event. Indeed
this is the last and most remote of our dam
gers.
In view then of tho. possibility of the re-
suit indicated, the South does well peaceably
and calmly to discuss this question of the
mode Of dissolution, and to prepare herself,
by 4 careful examination of the whole sub
ject in every possible phase.
1t is idle to hope to affect the course of
the North by threats of nou-intercOursc, Of
the severance Of commercial connection and
of social and mercantile prescriptions. The
very use of this argument pre-supposes that
kecnness of insight into these pecuuiary in
tcrests, on the part of that section which
would render useless any suggestions of
ours. If they will not be responsible for
the "sin of slavery" let us relieve them Of
that responsibility. If they cannot live in
amity with shareholders, let US tender them
articles of separation. If they cannot re-
cognizc our equal rights, let us abandon Il
Union which exposes us at every point to the
attacks of our enemies, but restricts us by
positive prohibitions in every measure we
might be disposed to take for our defence.
And in this separation, if it must come,
let US remcmber above all things that "he
that is not with US is against us" aud that
the customary and appropriate penalty for
treason is the gibbet.

From the Petersburg VA Democrat.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?

Calmly, soberly, without parade, with no
excitement nor any afectation of it, the
South is making up her response to this ques-
ton.
Abolitionism presents to US the simply al
tentative issue, submission or conquest, and
with subtle refinement of cruelty proposes
to enforce her will through the medium of a
man born and reared on our own soil, who,
in the execution of the behests of his mas
ter's will, superadds to the malice of ty-
rant, the infamy of traitor. Trusting as
we do that there may be found conversation
and patriotism enough in the land to save us
from the damnation of the faction, it is idle
to deny that the result may deceive US, and
John Charles Fremont, Rocky mountain
scout, may be chosen to fill the seat of Geo.
Washington.
The South contemplates this contingency
and is preparing more rapidly than her foes
believe to meet it. From one end of her
border to the other the question is being ag-
itated with daily increasing intcrest-what
is the most speedy, cfectual andsafe method
of dissoyiug all political connection with
the North. That the naked question of dis
solution in the contingency namedis settled,
admits of little doubt Indeed its truth is
recognized by men of all parties, and by for
eigners as we'll as natives. The official Or
gan of the British Government advocates ur-
gently the success of Fremont, on Megr"un'1
that such an event would be the prelude to
the disruption of the 'Great Republic. -
The Presidential candidate of the Know
Nothings avows it to be his belief that the
Union cannot survive the triumph of Black
Republicanism. All the prominent mem-
bers Of our own party give utterance to the
same sentiment, and the opinion receives the
concurrence of every rejecting man Of the
Old Line Whig party, from the accomplish
ed Senators from Louisiana, in one section
of the Union, to the venerable statesman
and jurist of Massachusetts in the other
True, the opinion is not absolutely without
dssentientS in the South. The same Know.
Nothingism which did more for abolition in
the North in twelve mouths than all other
influences combined had been able to effect

political independence, which is doing us lr'
retrievable mischief The hands of aboli
tion prophets are sustained by John Minor
Bolts and the Louisville Journal, while they
invoke the curses Of Heaven and the wrath
Of men upon us, but it would, we hope and
believe, be gross libel on the Know-Noth'
ings of the South, to hold them responsible
as party for these incendiaries. Indeed
the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming,
and among other indications of the tone Of
the opposition on this subject, may be noted
the course of the New Orleans Delta, the
ablest organ of the party, which declare:

Ecclesiastes ii.
There are two things dearly love,
In natures circling year,
Which lift my spirit far above
The weight of earthly care:
They bring before my eager view
The brightness of 4 home,
Where all their lovelineSs is true,
Nor change can ever come.
The early times Of Springs first hours,
Brings freshness to the heart;
They rouse the wearied spirits powers,
And swecter life impart:
Her dancing breezes gently WOO
The blossoms of the rose,
All wet with sparkling morning dew,
Their petals to inclosc.
The weary sufferer of pain,
The bowed with care or grief,
Hail her returning once again,
With hopes of sweet relief:
Spring hours cannot fail to bring
Calm and consoling thought,
Her many voices ever sing
Of Joy to mortals brought.
But how, 0 Autumn! shall dare
To paint thy gorgeous hues;
The softness Of thy morning air,
Thine evenings pearly dews:
The solemn grandeur Of thy night,
Whose starry crown is set
With gems more radiantly bright,
Than earthly coronet !!
The glory of thy sunset hour,
When all is calm and still.
Brings full conviction Of the Power
That heaven and earth doth fill
Oh who can gaze upon thy skies,
As twilight shades them Ger,
Aud not from earthly dreamings rise,
Their Maker to adore?
The wreath of fading Summer flowers
Is yet upon thy brow,
But all the mirth Of Summer hours
Is changed to sadness now.
And yet, upon thy dying head,
A solemn beauty lies,
Nore glorious ;han t&e riches spreal
Meath Summers glowing skies.
Ever, 0 Autumn! shalt thou be
To US, an emblem meet
OF spirits sinking peacefully
To slumber calm and sweet:
Though thy delights not long may last,
Yet ours shall still increase:
Thy reign be soon for ever past,
But ours shall never cease.
All. not like thee shall pass away,
The Christians hope and joy:
We look for an eternal day,
And bliss without alloy
For glories hid from mortal sight,
Revealed in realms above
For fadeless crewns Of heavenly light,
And pcrfectness Of love.
