SHE IS CoNMITTED.-Thc Washington cores
pondeut of the EdgeGeld ,dareriser, speaking Of
the Committee of Conference that has been ap
pointed, says:
"The people of the South may rely upon them
implicitly. But i'll the event Kansas is lost tc
the South, on account of the slavery clause in
corporated in the Lccnmpton Constitution, what
will the South do? Texas and Alabama have
spoken, are they in earnest and if so, will the
other Southern States follow side by side with
them2 South Carolina determined, in 1850, she
would not go il alone,' but would go ii 10Th
cooperation 1t now remains to be seen wheth.
er she will like the company of Alabama and
Texas well enough to cooperate with them, in
resisting what is. and will be for the future, the
settled policy of the Black Republicans =" that
no more slave States shall be admitted into the
Union. "Win the knowing ones Cooperation
ists) Of Sc aaslcer the question:"
We have only to add that their action would
be promptly seconded by South Carolina, by the
spontaneous unanimity Of her people. The con-
servative portion of the State are only conserva'
tive to the extent that, while in the Union, policy
requires us to use our best endearers to control
the Government by harmonizing with the States
Rights Democracy-North and South. South
Carolina is committed to cooperative resistance,
and without further resolutions or agitation, if
the crisis is forced upon her, will act to her re.
corded pledge-South Caroliniaa.
A nutshell has never held great argument
more completely. We heartily endorse the Car.
olinian's position and, when the issue is made,
we undertake to say that the co.operationists Of
York District will be found true to the profes.
sious they made in 1852. And when Southern
Confederacy is to be formed in good faith, our
word for it, there will not be found in South
Carolina corporals guard to lag behind. So
predicts, for one, the lorkuitle Enquirer.
