Asa HowADH" IN Hor WATER. = Mr.. George
W. Curtis, (the Howad,) Of this city, delivered an
grafton the other day before the Literary Association
of Westfeld, Mass, the staple of which-of course
was AntiSlaverysm, or that latest type Of Republi
canism. There were present, on the occasion, many
gentlemen from various sections of the Union, and,
natural enough not little indignation was expressed
when the lecture was over that Mr.. Curtis should
have imposed upon his hearers, who did not think
that that the sort Of entertainment to which they
were invited. The Springfield Argus characterizes
the speech as an insult to the people Of Westfed
and reports one of the members of the Association
protesting against any vote of thanks to the orator.

The following is the conclusion Of long and very
able article which appeared in the Charleston Mer-
curry, Of the 18th inst. The Mercury speaks indig-
nantly and eloquenty there is great amount of
melancholy truth in what it says; there is much in
its statements demanding the most earnest consdera
tion Of the Southern people. As such we commend
it to their serious attention:
Give us the Union of the Consultation in its plain
simple truthfulness with the rights and protection
would aford-just and equal in its taxation, and in
its expenditure observing the limitations the Consti.
tuition prescrbes Letting alone with our institu-
tons excepting to fulfil its plain duty in protecting
them-securing to equality with our confederated
States, in Washington, in our Terrltories-every-
where, as our rights and their obligations demand,
lands which stretch from ocean to ocean beneath the
Union, who will devontly pray and light for its
continuance Such was the Union our fathers sup
posed they had bequeathed to US. sa
South? Turn to the North, and see the angry sec
tionalism which lifts its head in stern and deadly
menace of our institutions. Listen to their pulpits
prescribing us as unworthy of Christian fellowship
and association. Read their papers, pouring out bit
terness and scorn upon our pretensions of equality
with them. Look at the General Government
cheated-stripped of a common participation in our
Territories -pundered by tariffs and their expendi
tures-yillifed baited bulied, degraded. We are no
longer equals with the North. We are longer one
os
as distinct and separate peoples exist the globe
It is not possible in Judgment to keep them to-
gether under one government on terms Of equality.
One of them must be the master. The inevitable
course of things proclaim that the mastery must be
with the North The mastery of the North in the
Union must be the ruin of the South Not only every
principle of liberty and of manhood but the brute in
stnct Of sefpeservation places before the South the
stern alternative reform the Union, or dissolve it.
For ourselves, we have despaired of reforming it.
For thirty years this paper has struggled to make its
reformation consistent with the rights of the South
The Constitution is now weaker, and Sectionaism
more potent and furious than ever. The fate OF the
Union, in our Judgment, is sealed. It must be dis
solved. We bow to thenecessity, and may mourn the
catastrophe but cannot prevent certainty as newt
able as the rolling Of the seasons It is only ques.
ton Of time. We have not done it. When impartial
history comes to write its epitaph, it will say
Killed by the aggressive injustice of the North and
the ignoble submission of the South! Although
the Injustice of the North did beat upon its proud
barriers they woudnever have fallen but for the base
delinquency of the South in not using her power to
protect her rights and enforce the Constitution until
It was too late-too late for the Union-but not too
late we trust, for her own salvation. Upon which
section of the Union will rest the deepest scorn Of fu
ture generations, it is not for us to anticipate.
