of these appalling dangers, what IL
we do? Shall we talncly lay down our
arms in token of submioson, and sing
Poems to the ineffahlc glory OF a tot
tering Union, or shall we wisely, calm
" and maturely deliberate upon the re-
medial measures which prudence and
policy alike dictate? The South cannot
hesitate in the election of the course to
be pursued, and it is time for her TO EN-
blaZon the motto upon her banners:
EQUALITY IN THE UNION OR lNDkPEND-
ENCE [ OF IT. The disr ption OF the
country may not occnr, perhaps, Tor a
few wears to come, but we have no he
81 alton in saying that secession Is a
f9tus in the womb of Time.
He shall take who has the power,
And he shall keep who can"
Let us, therefore, organize an efficient
and vigorous military force i'll every
~ncighborhood in the South, so that, II
we must meet what the signs OF the
times indicate we shall be prepared to
defend successfully our fircsides, our
honor and our property. Let there be
no braggadocio, no halfway measures,
no vacillation in our policy. BY 50 act
ing, we may rest comparatively safe.
If Louisiana, by the force Of uncontroll-
able circumstances, approves of the ne
ccssity of separate secession, she Will
find herself in a state of defense. If,
on the other hand, the voice Of her
people should recommend to her the
policy of submission TO Lincoln's Ad-
ministration, she will be fully able, in
that case to reprcss whatever insurrec-
tionary dangers may hereafter occur.

Let Us Prepare.
From the Courier.

From the Courier
The most superficial thinker must
have arrived ere this at the conclusion
that the time for mastery inactivity
has gone by, and that a most rigid POI
lice system and a thorough military or
ganization have become ~impcrativciy
necessary for the repression of insur-
~rection at home and resistance to agrees
sion from without. The history Of the
last few years points out a moral which
it behooves us not in this solemn hour
TO f, rect. 1t is that to our inaction a
lone, our siclly sentimentality, and our
too great reliance on Northern conscrv-
atism, must we particularly ascribe the
undisguised danger i'll which the anccS-
trail honor, the inherited rights, II the
most valued interests of the Southern
people are now involved. \ vast and
powerful party that has, by constant
accretions, attained its present colossal
proportions, now boldly steps forth III
the arena, and, like a gladiator frantic
with wine and drunken with success,
hurls it mcnaccS, its tauntS and It's III
science into our very teeth. One 10y
one has it rent asunder those cOnstltu-
tional barriers framed for our security
and protection. The statutes arc mute
when appealed to in the northern states,
and the authority of Federal officers
spurned under foot, under the operation
Of the "higher law" doctrine. The cloud
that, ten years ago, was but a barely
visible speck on the horizon, has in
creased in volume until now, sOmbre
and threatening, it hangs over our heads,
freighted with %internecine strife, and
perhaps, with servile instruction. Who
is there in this community so bold to
say that d~ragon-teeth even now have
not been sown on our soil, that will pro-
duce all abundant harvest of auXiliaries
in case of civil disruption? Have we not
already heard the rumbling of the dis
tant thunder in the Harper's Ferry raid,
in the burning towns of Texas, and the
partial and difficulty suppressed revOlts
in Tennessee?
The scope, aim and objects of the
"Wide Awake" organization are no lon
ger, we suppose, objects of mystery to
the southern people. They have erected
their capacious wigwams, and estab'
lished their fanatical cohorts, i'll every
hamlet, town and city of the North.
Their name itself is an insult to the
South, assumed. as it has been, in hon

PUBLIC MEETING AT PENsAcoLA.-A
meeting of the citizens of Pensacola, If
respective of party, was held last Tues
day evening, at which the following re-
solutions were adopted:
Resoired, That there appears to us
sufficient cause to %apprehend additional
insult from the black republican party,
and that it ill becomes us to submit to
their fanaticism and we will and we
should be prepared for prompt ac-
ton; therefore We recommend a concert
of action with all the southern states to
protect all our rights and redress our
wrongs.
Resolred, That we honor and respect
those friends in the North who have ell
deavored to do Justice to the south, and
to aid us in putting down abolitionism.
And among our most sincere regrets,
should this Union be dissolved, is that
we will be forced to seperate ourselves
from those friends, who have proved
themselves faithful to the interests of
the whole country.
Resoired, That we are unwilling to
| act without mature delibcration, but to
meet and deliberate as become men who
act with reason, we recommend a state
convention and a general convention TO
decide what course we should pursue,
and that we will readily and cordially
cooperate with them.
