The Governor of South Carolina, in his
message delivered few days since, says: If,
as | solemnly believe, we can no longer live
in peace and harmony in the Union, we can
form confederacy, with the ability to pro-
tect itself against any enemy, and command
the respect and admiration of the world. The
election of Republican President, he says,
will settle the question of their safety in the
Union. In accordance with his recommended
ton, resolutions were introduced into the Le-
gislature, on the Both Nov, that South Caro-
lima is ready to enter, with other Southern
States. into the formation of a Southern Con-
federation and that official information be
given Of the State arsenal, arms, ammunition,
number of men enrolled in the State Militia,
the style of their arms, sc. Here is case
for our Democratic UniOn-sayers of the North
to look after, and they should do it promptly.

JOHN Brown Is DEAD He was hung, in ac-
cordance with the sentence, on last Friday,
surrounded by the military of Virginia, Gov
Wise, and many of the chivalrc citizens of
that renowned State. No attempt at rescue
was made, and everything passed OF to the
satisfaction of the Virginians, no doubts and
now that the mistaken and erring old man is
dead, we suppose the people of the Old Do
minion will breathe freer and sleep Sounder
than they have since the time the insurrection
began Slavery and John Brown were foes.
After the murder of his sons in Kansas, it is
said he took an awful oath that while life re-
maiued his hand should be raised against it,
and that he would fight it to the death. Al
though goaded to such a course by domestic
calamities brought upon him by the slavery
propagandists, what else could he expect than
unrelenting hatred when he fell into the hands
of that power2 He knew no limitations in his
warfare on slavery-why should slavery be
lenient TO him. defeated and captive? 1t is
a question whether slavery could have spared
the life of John Brown without virtually con-
Tossing the iniquity of its existence. Death
was the least he could expect-and he net
it undauntedly and heroically. We wish it to
be distinctly understood that we are no apollo
gist of Browns course. His raid was wrong
and inexcusable-the direct consequences Ia
mentable and pernicious. If slavery is an
evil-and even the candid and inteliG gent men
of the South admit that it is-there is fit and
an unfit mode of combating it. No one, when
in Slave State, should attempt to annul by
his acts the laws and fixed polity of that State.
No one, we think, is justified in entering a
Southern State to incite the slaves to insur-
rection, even if there a certainty of free
ing them. If the South is ever to be rid of
slavery, let it be done, through the force of
enlightened public sentiment, in peaceful
and constitutional manner, and let the South
herself do it How to remove the evil is a
problem the South alone should solve-we of
the North have no business to interfere with
it in the States Wherein it exists. When, how
ever, 1T comes to spreading the institution in
to the Territories, then it assumes quite
other phaze-then it becomes a matter of as
much, if not more, interest to the North as to
the South-then it brings Slave and Free La
Dor into direct contact, and our Southern
brethren should not find fault with those who
think It their interest to oppose its extension.
