That she will secede there can be hardly u

North in the interval South Carolina Is unit
on the question. 1t was asked, where wonid

the event of being attacked by the federal
power That question is answered by our de-
spatch 10 day. The Southern States can get
money in abundance on the pledge of their
cotton and other products A question more

would be task from which the most warlike
nation in the world might shrink. England did
her utmost for seven years TO conquer the same

ing State, all the Southern States would rally
round Ter, and it would be necessary to con
quer all before one could be brought under
the yoke However the Southern States may
differ ameDg themselves about the wisdom Of
s.cersion, there would be no difference among
them when il came TO war. 1t is ridiculous to
quote the case OF Andrew Jackson coerc-
ing South Carolina when she quilted
law OF Congress- That case is en-
tirely different from the present The
people we're not then unanimous In the
State. A large number we're opposed to nulli
6cation. They are now perfectly unanimous
for seces sion, and there are three or four other
States whose population are all nearly Of the
same mind.
If this were movement of the politicians 1t
would be easy to suppress IL But II Is a move

be arrested without great difficulty. We fear
the people at tne North do not yet realize the
extent OF the danger and the sad consequences

some decided steps ought to be adopted at the
North. The leaders Of the republican party.

Of the party, and above oil the President elect

festoes declaring that 1t Is not their purpose or
policy to NEEDLE with the slave Institution, nor
to infringe In any way upon Southern rights.
Let them make up their minds to carry out In
good faith the co impact Of the constitution, and
wipe away the odious imputation of being

republican clergy ought to tell their congrega-

book by which they profess TO be guided, and
in tina, sacred volume, too, they might and .
good reason for repeating the Personal Liberty
bills which nulify the Fugitive Slave Law Of
Congress. They might point to St Paul send
ing back fugitive slave to bis master. Let
them, by doing this, help TO repair the mischief
they have go largely contributed to bring on
the country. There is not moment to be lost
The secession movement is advancing on every
side like prairie on are.
