A Pertinent Question.

A certain class of politicians per.
sist in charging the South with ag.
gression--with forcing heI institu,
tons where they are not wanted, &C.,
but do not attempt to show that what
ever has been done, or proposed, was
not in conformity with Congress
ional enactments. The South has at
least adhered to the forms OF law
But how has it been with several
States in the North? After refer
ring to futile attempt made by a
citizen of Georgia to recover a fugl-
tive slave from Nebraska, the Sa-
yannah Republican pertinently asks,
WHO obeys the lax2' and says:
"Can any man North or South
point to an act committed in the
elaveholding States where public
opinion set the Federal laws at def
ance? No; we may use violent Ian
puare, but we have had cause to dc
it. We never yet assumed any posi-
ton not in conformity with our duty
10 the Government under which we
live. We talk of disuniOn, but we
talk Of it as remedy for our grew
ances, to be resorted to only 10 the
last extremity, and to be only com.
pleted with dignity and in obediencs
to the will OF the majority. AT the
North and West they have a more
practical way of exhibiting their con
tempt for law aud justice, by boldly
ignoring their existence, and perpe
tra,ing the worst of crimes under
the sanction of public sentiment
These are practical dissolutionists
who show their faith by their works
and are far more dangerous to th'
country than any fire eater, no mat
ter how rabid he may be. Whsl
these men arc put down, it will assure
the South thaa there is some hop'
for equality in the Union. Unit
they ale, it is the imperative duty o
the South to continue her prepara
tjons for living within herself."

TnR NORTH AND THE Souri,. The
correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury thinks there are in New
York at least 10000 poor people
who would be happy TO swsp places
with Southern slaves. All they
want in the world is plenty to eat
decent clothes, and a reasonable
amount of labor, and that any kint
Southern master would ensure them
Duriue one week 5000 persons appll
ed to the Almshouse officer for pit
tances of money and coal. Most Q
them would work if they could, ou'
they cannot get anything to do, Of
are too sick to do it. The only lib
erty" that such poor creatures have
any practical knowledge OF, is the llb'
crty to freeze aud starve, and the on
Iy slavery, a slavery to piuchlng
want.

I From The Providence { K. ~ Post.
The Question Of Dissolution.


The Question Of Dissolution. |
We are frequently told when South !
ern men threaten dissolution OF the
Union, that they do not mean what
they say; that all their interests are
on ene side of the Union, that they
could not exist without sthe North;
aud that they dare not attempt to
carry their threats into execution.
We are satisfied that the inter-
ests Of the South are on the side
of perpetuity Of the Union, SO
long as the equality Of the States
can be preserved. But We are not
blind to the fact that the South
can much better afford TO advocate
a dissolution Of the Union than We
of New EDgland can afford to accept
such proposition when it Is
made.
:. Nothing can be palmer to an IN
telligent man, than that, when our
present Union is dissolved, new one
will be Immediately established,
which will at least embrace all the
Southern aud Middle Statas. New
York, for the sake of her commercial
5 interests, will go with the South
: / if The South will have her. %
!. will Penus, lvania and New jersey
!, aud 80, probably, will the West
!! since the West needs the Mississippi
more than it needs anything at th'
Q East.
= In organizing a new confederation
o the South would have tho stall IL
D her own hands. In less than thirty
s days from the moment of withdraw
II ing from US, she would have a guar
IS antee Of protection from England
e since England must have her cotton
o She would then receive into no
'. embrace only such free States a
is would comply with the condition Q
: union prescribed by herself Ne'
S: York and the West, 10 spite @
rs their anti-slayery professions, woul
rs yield to her terms TO save their in
p dustrial interests from ruin. Me-
]. England could offer nothing but co,
p ten and WOODEN manufactures and at
70 olliouism. The cotton and WOODEN
r the South could get from England j
y exchange for Der cotton; our abol
&. tionism she would not want.
d The result OF a dissolution of th
d Union, then, would finally be. ii
re dismemberment or slOughing of, an
y complets commercial ruin of Nc
IS England. The South, with her co
y ton and rice and tobacco and suga
'G would find fast friends in all the gre
nations Of Europe. New EDglan
IN with nothing which these great n
m tons do not produo in great abu
| dance, would stand friendiess al
e. alone.
st This is our view of the qusstio
as and we therefore say the Mort
and New England especially. Ca
not afford to talk dissolution. III
view which We take Of the case.
sw taken Of it, we know, BY many M
he at the South. and by The commerce.
ys men Of England, but we are sat
nu fed the Southern men, if We exec
~ the fanatics, do not desire disunl'
n for the purpose of increasing the
10 material prosperity, and that TN
I, VI viii only consent to it when 1t
IL we'll ascsrtained that they cam
ot live in peace With their Northe
Up neighbors. When this is demonstT
d. ted, they will dissolve their CONNIE
D. lion with Us, and the world viii q
