The Feliciana Democrat., 1858-04-24
A VOICE FROM ALABAMA.

We would call the earnest attention of our
readers to the following article from the Mo-
bile Register, an able and true State Rights
Democratic journal, which knows well the
public sentiment and speaks the voice of the
State Rights Democracy of Alabama.
We can assure the Register, that whenever
the people of that gallant State shall rear the
standard of their resistance to the monstrous
injustice and daring assaults upon the consti.
tutonal equality and rights of the southern
States, as will have been cons,llnmatcd by the
rejection of the Lccompton Constitution for
the admission Of Kansas they will find thou
sands upon thousands of warm hearts and re.
sponsivc voices in Louisiana however she may
now seem to lag with the weight Of submission
ism, to join with them in placing her by the
side of Alabama, in the great work Of nchev-
ing the independence of the South, and of cs.
tablshing the basis of that future power, pros
Ipcrity and greatness which She is destined to
realize If the Southern States are to be base.
" despollcd OF their sovereign equality and
justice within the Union; or, if they are 10 be
driven out of the Union by the ntocrablc op,
preston and injustice OF tyrannca majority,
who in their mad tanaticism, shall tramplc in
the dust the nobIest fabric Of constitutional
government that could be conceived BY human
wisdom, then he the consequences upon their
own heads. The South has nothing to lose hy
the separation, but the master empire Of the
world to gain. Her destiny will hc onward
and upward.
TIE PROGRESS OF TIE STRUGGLE.
The idings brought Us ~ the telegraph 81
the night before last, OF the progress Of the
Kansas struggle in Congress, are more mia.
vorablc than We had anticipated. We had
hoped, with some degree Of confidence that.
Oh the return of the bill to the House with the
non currcncc Of the Senate in the Montgomery
substitute, a number of the northern Demo
Gratis who voted for that proposition, would
yield their objections and unite with the H..
comptonitci to pass the Senate Bill no such
gratifying event has come to realize our rXpcr.
tationS liut while disappointed anl di,conr
aged ut the result that has occurred, wc 10
not yet give up all hope We will yet rcposc.
with some remnant Of our faith upon the rir-
tue Of committee Of conference. which We
presume will be the next effort in the step to|
accomplish the desired object WE must con-
fcss, however, that or hopes arc fur more
faint than llattering, that any satisfactory re.
suit can be reached through committee of
conference. The adjustment hy this procps i
al a 1isn,rrcnp,n,,, 1T ~
OF Congress, involves aS a general thing. tGoI
necessity OF compromise aud mutual conccs-
slons. II the matter can not be adjusted with
out compromise or concession on the part Of
the LecomptonitcS, then no settlement of tln
question can be accomplished by means of Il
committee of conference There can be mol
compromise, no modification, no abatement ofI
single jot or title Of their demands on the
part OF those who are claiming the admission
OF Kansas under I'll" Iccompton constitution
We regard that rs fixed and certain If there |
Is any retraction or surrender it must be on |
the other side; and We cannot perceive any
good reasons to hope that under the discipinc
or prescription OF committee Of conference |
there will be any other disposition on the part
OF the Anti-Lccompton majority in the House
than has been manifested already in the drci-
ded expression ol u twice recorded vote, Our
hopes thcr fore, are but feeble, that any oth
er result will be accomplished, than what has
already TRANSFERRED The House will in all pro-
liability, adhere TO its decision in favor of the
Montgomery substitute, aud the Senate will
certainly continue TO refuse its concurrence in
that proposition. And thus the admission Of
Kansas will be postponed for The present, 10
become, in any contingency that may cnsue.
the most disastrous issue that ever has disturb
ed the harmony and obScurcd The destinies of
this Union
We are not disposed to anticipate the actn.
al event of the final and deiinitivc result of
Congress to admit Kansas into the Union. II
will be time enough when that event Shall
have become demonstrated as a fixed reality
and fear has been changed to conviction to
give vent to the resentment which will be due
TO so violent an outrage npon the rights of the
South But we will say this much now-IfI
Kansas is denied admission at this time in ac-
cordance with her application made through ,,
her authorized convention, the contingency {
will have arrived when the South stands
pledged to retire from the Union; and she
deserve n
