Force or No Force,

1t is the constant boast of the Republicans that
they will whip the Cotton States into obedience.
notice in this threat. In the first ptace itsounds
very much like the bullying which they are in the
habit of considering as purely Of Southern origin.
In the second place the very curious might inquire
why it that these sanity gentlemen desired TO
force fellowship with barbarians, bloodhounds,
slave breeders, slave drivers and dealers in their
own flesh and blood? Why it was that they were
not glad to get rid of such heather, poverty
stricken and goddess set Of outlaws and scamps,
and at the same time wash their own hands of all
connection with the 6 aeeursed institution ~ In
the third place it would not be amiss to conjecture
whether these gentlemen who are so brave in their
numbers, and SO fiery in courage, when backed BY
the national power, intend to 60 down into the
fever swamps of South Carolina and Florida, and
perform this little job of whipping halfa-dozen
States into obedience themselves, whether they
expect to do all the gassing as usual, get fat con-
tracts to supply the army under Old Abe, and let
the Democrats and their voting CATTLE do the
fighting? In the fourth and most important place,
how is that modest little operation of whipping
and hanging the whole South going to turn out?
We say the whole South, for as sure as the sun
rises and sets in the heavens, the moment that
Southern blood flows by the Abolition government.
the outposts of your enemy will be transferred
from the banks of the Pedee to those of the P0to-
mac and Ohio. The man who doubts this neither
comprehends the Southern people nor the times in
which he lives. If there is to be war, it will be
one not between the General Government and a
State, but one between the whole North and the
whole South. This is certain; and it is well for
US, when we determine to whip somebody, to
know beforehand exactly who is to be the ensto-
mer to handle. We must calculate. when the pro-
cess does commence, TO keep il up just as long a.
there is bread to eat man to pull trigger in the
Southern States; for, in spite Of your taunts, they
are brave and heroic people, and will perish in
defence of their homes and their honor. When
you have killed a few hundred thousand. Just take
breath little and look around you, and you will
see plenty more such, ready to be logged. You
n n a
very ugly and two.sided game. and if nothing else
will do foreign aid will be called in at any sacri-
flee, rather than submit to you. Upon the whole
we advise Republican friends to quit talking so
has an ugly sound and tends greatly to aggravate
and drive our Southern brethren from u.s. Time
enough to talk of killing other people when we
have got right ourselves and have no other resort.

What the States Were Before Union.


Judge Story gives graphic picture Of what the
States were before the adoption of the present
Union:
The most opposite commercial regulations exist
ed in the different States; and in many cases, and
especially between neighhoring States, there was
perpetual course of retaliatory legislation, from
their jealousies and rivalries in commerce, in agr
culture or in manufactures. Foreign nations did
not fail to avail themselves of all the advantages
accruiug to themselves from this suicidal policy,
tending to the common ruin. And as the evils grew
more pressing, the resentments of the States
against each other, and the consciousness that
their local interests were placed IN opposition to
each other, were daily increasing the mass of dis
affection, until it became obvious that the dangers
of immediate warfare between some of the States
were imminent.
But the evil did not rest here. Our foreign COM
merse W se only crippled bue almost
trade Just such restrictions they deemed best to
their own interest and policy. All of them had a
common interest to steal our trade and to enlarge
their own. They did not fail to avail themselves,
to the utmost, of their advantages. They pursued
a system of the most rigorous exclusion OF our
shipping from all the benefits of their own COM
merce, and endeayored to secure. with q bold and
unhesitating confidence, monopoly of ours. The
effects Of this system of operations, combined with
our political weakness, were soon visible. Our
navigation was ruined; our mechanics were in q
state OF nextricable poverty; our agriculture was
withered; and the little money still found i'm the
country was gradually finding its way abroad, to
supply our immediate wants; and q state of alarm
ing embarrassment, in that most difficult and deli
cate of all relationship relation Of private debtors
and credtors-threatened daily an overthrow even
of the ordinary administration of justice. Severe
as were the calamites Of the war, the pressure of
| them was far less mischevous than this slow but
progressive destruction of all our resources, all our
industry and all our credit
IT must not be assumed that the relations and
conditions of the States would necessarily be so ms
fortunate after the Union as they were before.

TERRIFIC CoLLERY EXPLOSION IN ENsLAND.-On
Saturday December lst, mine explosion hap
pened at the Black Vein Pit Rsca, about six miles
from Newport, Wales, and the property of the
Risca Coal Company. The colliery has been in
work some years in the production of steam COAL
and as gas is in such pits more or less generated
the usual preventive measures were adopted The
pit was examined according to custom on Satur.
day morning, after which, between and 6 o'clock,
some two hundred men descended. About O'Clock
terrific explosion occurred, which was heard far
above the surface, and upon inspection it was
found that at some distance from the bottom of the
pit the gas had fired Considerable damage was
done to the workings. As soon as the ventilation
would allow, dead bodies were found in several
directions. By IL O'Clock eleven had beenssent up,
and at o'clock forty more had been cea4cted at
the bottom Of the shaft, the whole being brought
up in the course of the evening, and in carts, or
hastily constructed laers, conveyed to therrespeet
i've homes.
Additional particulars are given by the London
persons having fallen victims, the probability is
that at least SO more are dead, and that the fearful
roll will swell to at least ITO names. During yes
terday and the last two nights (says the News) the
search in the workings was continued, and corpses
found and brought to the surface, numbering,
with those brought up on Saturday, about one hun
dred. One portion Of the workings is now discog-
cred to have fallen In, cutting of all communiea
ton with sixty or seventy persons who are beyond.
To reach them will, it is feared, occupy consider
able time; but little or no expectation is enter.
tanned that one of the party will be discovered
alive. When the explosion occurred about 200
men and boys were in the pit, of whom only about
thirty have escaped.

BLACK REPUBLICAN, GowHIDED.--An officer in
the Quartermaster's Department of the forces sent
from St. Louis, to punish the Kansas jayhawkers,
wrote sundry letters back to the St. Louis Demo-
crat, in one of which he reflected upon Gen. Frost,
in command. After returning to St. Louis the
general waited upon the offending scrhbler and
cowhided him severely, meeting with only feeble
resistance.
This led to challenge from Mr.. Savers. which
was followed by duel with pistols. One round
was exchanged without shedding blood, and then
the challenge was Withdrawn and the parties
became friends.
The Empress of Austria sailed from Plymouth in
Queen Victoria's private steam yacht, on the 25d
of November, on her way to Madeira. At Antwerp,
where she first embarked. she was attendedby the
King of the Belgians. She is described on that oc-
casion as "a woman of noble bearing. with rich
black hair, black eyes, features strongly marked
and highly distinguished. She wore black velvet
hat with jet ornaments, very fine black veil

INDEPENDENCE Day The goth December Is
marked with ndelible red in the calendar of South
Carolina and of Constitutional Government. On
that day the hopes and desires, and expectation
and determination of a united Commonwealth,
were gratifed and satisfied, and the Act of Seces-
sion was passed and ratified and promulgated by a
Convention representing the sovereignty of the
State and called for that purpose. The Constitution
of the United States, which was ratified and adopted
in and for the State of South Carolina on the 23d
May, 1888, was abrogated, repealed and annulled,
SO far as the State of South Carolina was con-
cerned, ON the goth December, 1860.
The Act Of Ratification was executed in Charles
ton--the first capital and metropolis of South Car
olina; the Act Of Secession, by singular interpo-
sition of Providence, was ordained and ratified in
the same city. A few venerable citizens are yet
with us who remember the adoption of the United
States Constitution. That adoption was only made
after exciting debate, and against the opinions
of many of the best and brayest citizens OF the
State.
The Act of Secession is passed, calmly and de-
liberately, and by the unanimous vote of Con-
vention solemnly elected by the free choice of the
people. Let the record speak for itself.
