The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1860-11-29

Philadelphia Another that she ought
to be whipped in, by. the police of New
York. Another, that, like spoiled
child, she should be spanked into submis-
sion. Is all this contempt and bullying
to be nothing but foul air? By all means
let us have Force Bill by Congress, to
coerce South Carolina to remain in the
Union. Virginia, and the other Southern
States must meet it. They will oppose it.
Don't be frightened, and run away. Be
brave, and pass it over them. Like all
your other insolcnt stupidity, defy their
determinations, and force their members
to leave Congress and go homo to their
constituents. Then will Southern Con-
federacy be speedily formed of all the
Southern States, like the rush of many
waters into one great and majestic river.
Fellow-citizens, the dissolution Of the
Union will by no means be the compile
tion of our delivcrance. There will be
great difficulty in limiting the members
of oul, Southern Confederacy. Many OF
the free States will desire to join us. But
there are three things which, as a humble
citizen of the South, [ would suggest
ought sternly to be insisted on, in shaping
its future destines:-
First. The Southern Confederacy ought
to be slavcholding ConGederacy. 1t is
no experiment that free governments
should exist in slaveholding countries.
The Republics of Rome and Greece
still the light and glory of ancient times,
were built on domestic slavery. But it is
an experiment to maintain free govern
ment with universal suffrage, and the
whole population to control the govern
ment. Population increases faster than
capital, and no prosperity can long stave
off the dire conflict which must arise be-
tween want and affiuence-population
and capital. When the great majority of
the population have no property, which is
the case with every nation in Europe,
what shall protect property under the
control of this majority, from partition or
confscation What is liberty worth,
with starvation; and what is property
worth, with confiscaton 4? Our Confcde-
racy must be slavchoding Confederacy.
We. have had enough Of a Confedcracy
I'll lion tionc
The next point we should insist on is
that the power of taxation should be linn
ited.. We know how this power has been.
abused by the present Confederacy. The
North has welded it for their enrichment
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, at the expense of
the South. The taxes should be just !;
and to bejust, no man should be made to
pay tribute to another, or be taxed for the
benefit of another No monopolies should
exist; but all should be left to employ
their industry in their own way, saving
where the exgencies of the Government
require revenue or restriction.
And the third condition which South
Carolina should require is, that the forts
and fortresses in our bay should never
again be surrendered to any power on
earth We have seen the canon placed
in them for our defence turned against us
fol our subjugation. When our flag
again floats over them, let it remain there
until our existence is blotted out as Il free
people.
With guarantees such as these, what
shall prevent the people of the South
from being a great and free people ? With
the bitter experience we have lad, we
can frame constitution the best for sccu-
ring justice and liberty the best the world
has ever seen. With such constitution
and our institutions, we can establish a
Confederacy which shall endure for ages;
and our Confederacy will be as powerful
as it will be great. All nations want our
agricultural productions, and all nations
will tender the friendships their necessi-
ties require. We will expand as our
growth and civilization shall demand-
over Mexico-over the isles of the sea-
over the far off Southern tropics until
we shall establish q great Confederation
of Republics-the greatest, freest and use
full the world has ever seen.
My friends, the Union is dissolved. 1t
has long since been dissolved in sympa-
thy and spirit. 1t is now about to be dis
solved, in form and fact. A few more
weeks-a few more days-and blythe fiat
of South Carolina, it will be amongst the
wrecks Of past things, WI lch, designed
