it cannot shape its policy SO as to favor the
extension of the ''peculIar institution" 1t
will have none of it, if its policy is to be
the restriction of Slavery to its present
bounds. The Governor in his message t.
the Legislature, which met On the 18TH OF
Nov., boldly and pointcd'y says as much.
lie SAYS he "soIcmnly believes" that the
PEOPLE Of South Carolina scan no longer
live in peace and harmony in the Cnion,"
and recommends the formation of Southern
confederacy-a confederacy which, he says,
will have 'the ability to protect itself against
an enemy, and command the respect and
admiration Of the world" lie also recon-
mends .such measures as will obtain the
"co-operatlon of the southern States IN
.conc.rtcd action, in defense Of their lnstitu-
"tons, whenever they may be put in jeopardy
"by al! the departments Of the government

THE election of Il Republican President, he
"says, will settle the question OF their safety

of the Palmetto Statc-a Democrat of the
strictess school-ajmits there is no hope OF

would proclaim the same thing. But as this

will pass over them-wiuk at thcm-with
neither words Of assent or dissent. II makes
great difference with the Democracy, as
to which section Of the Union proposes Il
dissolution of that sacred compact.
But the legislature of South Carolina, is
no. far behind tho Governor. On the 30th
ui., the following Resolutions were intro
duoed into this highly Democratic body:
RssoireL Tnlt the State Of south Carolina ready

By these resolutions, it would appear that
the State of South Carolina is ready" to
takn "prcscnt action' towards the "lor-
nation Of Southern confcderacy.' What
do our Northern Democratic contemporaries,
who raised such pions aud prolonged howl
over Gov. BANK's "lct the Union s.ide,'
say to this proposition of the Legislature of
South Carolina? We await with extreme
anxiety their onslaught upon the secession
preaching Governor of the Palmetto State,
Let him have it. Don't spare him for
Democracy's sake. We shall expect to hear
Of our Democratic contemporaries counselins
and coniurlns the President of the United
States TO demand of South Carolina her
Governor and Legislature, that they may be
tried BY tho Federal Court for trcason.-
N,thirs less than this, will, in AL proba-
bllity, satisfy the ConstI,utiou-lovlng and
Upion-snving Democracy o: the North! So
mote it be.
Our Southern neishbors have often, here
toforc, INDUCED in dire threats Of disunlon
and consequent bloodshed, AMI by such
,neans have often frightened US OF the

notwithstanding, we opine this biuster al

or. bv the Legislature, for "oficia. informa-

all this, we say, will hardly deter the
liberty loving people Of these confeder"ted
States. a, this tine, from maintaining at the

have often witnessed the consummation oil
