Keitt, of S. Caroline, on the 6rst page
1t is q 6nc specimen Of the Mock Heroic
Ian outburst Of farcical Indignation
evidently designed to bolster the charac-
tier Of the "Chiyalry,' until it is again
ordered into line. The writer magnani
mously endcavors to shield poor little
Frank Pierce by charging perjury upon
the three. Governors which he appointed
over Kansas, ingenuously forgetting the
declaration of the U. S. Attorney, for the
Territory, that Pierce gave secret instruc-
tons to make Kansas free, whilst he was
cheating the South with show of fairness.
But this amounts to nothing. The "Chival-
ry' never voted for any but democrats,
and vet confess that the South has been
betrayed by every locofoco President, from
jackson down. Is it not Legitimate then,
to ask why they stick to the traitorous
compound Men of sense and tegrity
rarely trust more than once, those who
have deceived them; and when we hear
men denounce party for its uniform
treaohery, and still support that party, we
are forced to the conclusion, that however
much they may despise the traitors, they
have purpose to subscrve through the
agency of the treason. Is that purpose
the maintenance of the rights of the
South, IN tie Unioa2 OF course not; else
why denounce democracy as traitorous to
those rights, and still support it? If false
to the South, no honest southerner can
support it, unless some Interior object is
to be gained, and that object is disunion,
or the denunciation is silly buster.
Mr.. Keitt calls upon the State of S.
Carolina to take position beside Georgia
and Mississippi, in their noble stand for
the South, And what position have the
last named States taken? Why they have
passed resolutions condemnatory of Walk
ers policy in Kansas, and demanding his
recall. Well, Buchanan treated these
resolutions with obvious contempt and
what have they since done? Oh, 'nothing
much only held an election and re-en-
dorscd bogus democracy. Mr.. Keitt need
} not be uneasy; South Carolina will stand
: by them as she has almost uniformly done
and no matter how often democracy may
f betray the South, she will be found ready
, to dcnouncc, yet hug the traitor, What
matters it to he "Chivalry" if Kansas be
wrestcd from the South, and given as {
bribe--a cement to hold the two wing;
together! Democracy will have done it
and the "Chivalry" will submit Wha
) matters it that the slavery agitation is be
ing renewed in Oregon, as capital for 1860
to finally surrendered it as an offering tc
party That, too, will be the work o
democracy, and no State in the South, viii
) cling closer to that party than SOutf
Carolina. No amount of treason shakes
southern allegiance to locofocoism. The
Force Bill, the Wilmot proviso, squattel
sovereignty, alien suffrage and the Kansas
swindle are all cited as so many acts o
: unmittigated treachery to southern rights
and all perpetrated by democracy; yet thu
experience of twenty five years of treason
3 has wrought no change in the "Chivalry,
! which clings still, with blind, or wickec
r pertinacity to the MISUNDERSTANDING then
