icy Of the State TO take her stand By the
side of Georgia and Mississippi. These
patriotic States have promptly rebuked the
dishonest intrigues which have affected us
in Kansas, and have put forth high vim
dication of Southern rights. Let us co.
operate with them. If the South Is ejec-
ted from Kansas, it is done to consolidate
and strengthen the Free soil Democracy
of the North. The various fragments and
factions of Democracy are all more or less
Free-sol, are each ringing its "fog g-belr'
to prevent collision, and arc all ready to-
be sordcred together again by Free-soil
cement. To accomplish this foul Union,
the South is to be sacrificed in Kansas
What boots it whether the South is sacrf-
& ed through Free-soil Democracy or Black
Republic anism!
That which chiefly recommended tho
Nebraska bill to the South, was its commit
tai Of the Democratic party to clearer
vindication Of her rights This has beer
defeated by the intrigues of those in pow
Ter. Mr.. Buchanan was nominated by tho
North aud elected by the South, and any
act Of perfdy on his part is and win be-
doubly damned, Democracy at the North
is hopclcssly prostrated, unless it can be-
revived by some Frce-soil application In
any issue between slavery and abolition
ism, the North win accept the latter, and
as that is the main issue before the people,
the North cannot be relied upon The
only chance that remained, viz: that of al
lowing each section to legitiinatcly devel-
op its institutions through fair rivalry, has
been destroyed by the fraudulent inter
vention Of the Federal Government. Tho
contest is rapidly coming, and the South
must rely upon herself Though her cf.
forts bestigmatized by federal minions, and
the resolutions Of sovereign States denoun-
cling fraud and wrong, bepronounced aun-
gracious" by an executive of her own Gre,
alton, yet she must achieve her safety,
though her arm should fall heavily upon q
cabinet Of lnutes and a paralytic Admin
istration.
In 1850 the Wing patty of the South
which had ell, cted Gen. Taylor, trampled
him from power when his treachery was
made manifest; and will the Democratic
party of the Southbe less true to our rights
and horror or less naughty and indignant
against fraud and wrong? The Democratic
party owes its ascendancy to the South,
and every act oftreaehery should be metby
CONSUMING curses. No leader is anointed
against the venge &c of an outraged peo-
Iple, anb no official is, SO high that popular
justice cannot reach him. The south,
must maintain her rights, though she turn
deaf ear to the appealing shrieks ofshiv-
ering Cabinets, of hysterical Presidents,
and dissolving Iart.es Her safety is in
her union, and Georgia and mississippi
have gloriously led the way. Let South
Carolina wheel into line with them, and
march with steady step along the Same
bright track of constitutional integrity
Let her be no laggard in that contest in
which the rights and honor of the South
are to be vindicated. There should beno
dissension in the Southern camp, and
trust there will be none, when the hour
arrives in which loyalty to party will be-
treason to the South.
