SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS AND D1sUNIoN

We gave the other day an extract from the
recent speech of Senator Hammond, OF South Car
olina, whose talents and character give him a po'
sitiou of so much distinction and influence in the
Democratic party. Since then We have seen the
whole speech and give some further extracts
"To him the whole theory and scheme Of squat
ter sovereignty was a matter of disgust. The
Kansas Nebraska bill was q deception and delus'
ion from the beginning. It's only effect was to add
enother free state to the Union"
''If we had dissolved the Union and had enga.
Hed in a brush with som people (Which must oc-
cur in setting up for ourselves and lawfully estab.
fishing oar institutions it would have been best
for US: but now if we can rule in the Union let
as remain"
"The North cannot unite permanently, while the
South can. The Ncrth never yet bad an imIor-
tsnt Office for more than, one term. lie therefore,
feared nothing now. Yet he wolid say to the
South there may be danger stand to your arms,
mark time, and be ready to act promptly in re-
sisting any actual interference with our rights"
W must dissolve the Union if they effect any
one of their aggressive purposes, tariffs banks, or
tampering with slaves"
The whole speech is characterized by q manly
candor and CLEANS of practices al sense, not usual
in O fire eater. For instance he says I'VE lost
Kansas because we had not slaves TO PCT there
We are now struggling to keep Texas against the
inroads of the Northern emigrants." The whole
speech may be taken as a fair exponent Oh the

Democracts, So long az they can ruIe in the Union
they will remain, but if power can be taken from
them they will seek the earliest opportunity for
breaking it up. With 4 view to this Interior re-
suit, never to be overlooked, he saws to them,
Island to your arms, mark time and keep your
powder dry"
. Such is now the condition Of this great nation.
1t is n der the control, through the Democratic
party of a set of disunionist leaders, who have
the diabolical candor thus publicly to avow their
reasonable views. Permit us to rule you or we
dissolve the Union" such is the open threat
which they have the audacity to address to this
great nation. Whilst hugSlng such men to its bo-
som aud submitting to their leadership, the De-
mocracy have the impudence to invite kentucki
ans, Tennesseeans and Missourians to affiliate
with them.
If farther proof were needed of TIE fixed pur-
pose of these men in the pursuit Of disunion We
have it in the proceedings of Il public meeting
recently held at Montgomery, Alabama, for the
purpose Of starting the organization OF the
League Of the Uniied SouthernerS." Col. Ar
ripgton, the chairman of the meeting, stated its
object to be ITO devise measures by which the
South might enjoy an equality in the Union, or
Independence out of it,; in other but not plain
language. to organize for more efficient action, a
distinct disunion league, organization party, or
conspiracy, whichever designation the reader may
prefer.
Whilst such unreasonable avowals are made by
such men as Messrs. Hammond and Newton,
and such unreasonable organizations are public.
ally made, will the UnionlUving people of Dele
ware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Missouri do nothing towards denouncipg the
traitors? Shall nothing be done to uEdeeeive the
people Of the North and let them see that this
foul disunion infection has not spread throughout
the Slaveholding States.-LOuisvMe Journal,

FREE SENTIMENT IN NORTH CARoLINA.-From
b letter Just received from a friend in North Caro-
lima, the 81. Louis Democrat takes the following
interesting passage;
81 was down In Randolph County last week,
where | was born. There are few slaves in that
county, and the sentiment against the institution
Ia becoming stronger and stronger. The Wesley.

es were compelled to leave the county. and | was
told by o gentleman well acquainted with the facts
and feelings Of the people that the driving out of
those men had caused at least a hundred fam.
lilies to leave the county, and a like number have
left this (Guilford) county for the same cause. j..
A.. Gilmer. our Congr essman, took part in the affair,
and lost hundreds Of votes thereby but his course
in Congress-espeeially his speeches on the Kansas
duestion--has won them all back. His motives in
acting the part he did we're misunderstood by the
people. His intimate friends know that he &c.
eompanied the mob for the sole purpose Of pre-
venting personal violence to the men, which no
other man in the country could have done; These
