Mcssrs. wigfall, Brown, iyers@', and
Davis replied In becoming spirit aud nc
ccpicL the issue that the Senator from New
Hampshire offered. lIe threw down tile
gauntlet. and soon discovered that i was ca
rerly snatehed up by several chevaliers
from the Snuth. Mr.. Brown of Miss. re-
pied rs follows:
"Mr. Brown. Where Is the war to come
from! From South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia and Texas? Docs
the Senator mean thin we are going to
make Mar on the North? II he does, let me
saw TO him, once for ALL that he Is most
eercgionsly mistaken. All we ask Is, that
we be allowed TO depart in peace. And do
Won mean to suy that this is not to be al
iowed-tlnt We shall neither have peace in
the Union nor he allowed the poor boon of
going out? III that be the. attitude, then
war is inevitable. We feel that any Amer
lean citizen, not blinded by passion, must
feel that we have been deeply wronged, and
the accumulated wrongs of years have
fnallyrcsultcd in your triumph. Notthc tri-
un,ph of Mr. Lincoln, but the triumph of n
principle, which il would be the deepest de-
graduation in free people to submit to;
and with all the calm, quiet dignity can
Summon, say-wc will not submit. We
want no war, and we expect none. We
say to you, in the language once used to
the Senator from New York, Mr.. Seward
d" Let there be no strife between thee and
me, or between thy hcrdsmcn and my herds
men. II you will 60 to the right we will 60
TO the left" And if you will 60 to the left,
we will go to the right. All We ask is to
be allowed to depart in peace. But If you
refuse to let us go, and determine to make
war upon Ms then let II come, and God de-
fcnd the right.
/. Mr.. Iycrson spoke for his own State as
follows.
ale had the confidence to say that his own
States would not be behind her sisters in
boldncss, decision and firmness; and Ala
bama-proud daughter Of his own State
will follow this example of patriotism and
pride which South Carolina has shown her
sisters. She will undoubtedly go .out on
the 7tli, of January, and Georgia will fol-
low on the 10th, and before the 18th of March,
before YOUR President is inaugurated, there
will be FIVE States, if not eight, that will be
out of the Union, and will have formed a
Constitution for frame of Government
And, in his own opinion, there is nothing
under Heaven that could prevent such u
consummation. Gentlemen speak of con-
J. cessio;.-of the repeal of the Personal Lib
erty bills. Repeal them all tomorrow
and you cannot stop this revolution. 1t il
not the Liberty laws but the mob law which
the South fears. They do not dread these
overt acts, for, without the power of tho
Federal Government, by force, under the
!, Republican rule, their institution would
not last ten years, and they know it. They
intend to go out of this Union, and he be-
lieved this.
l Before the 4th of March five States will
, have declared their independence, and HI
, was satisfied that three other States woult
follow as soon as the action of the people
can be, had. Arkansas will call her con
vention, and Louisiana would follow. Ano
, though there is clog in the way in the
, lone star of Texas, in the way of the Gov
crnor, who will not consent to call the Leg
islature, yet the public sentiment is Sc
strong that even her Governor may be over
. ridden; and if he will not yield to tina
: public sentiment, some Texan Brutus may
: arise to rid his country of the old hoary
headed traitor
but he rose to accept, on the part Of hi
State, the issue of the Senator from New
: Hampshire, (Nlr. IIalc,) that is, Of war;
Eve believe it is the intention of the Blacl
. Republican party to Use the force Of tn,
. Goyernmcnt to cxtingnish the system o
slavery, and we do not intend to wait til
We are so weak We cannot resist
lie should not have said anything, blu
f for the rcmarks.of the Senator from New
E Hampshire, who threatened war; rs if t
Brighten the South Let the South tax,
: care. Let the war come, and we will nee
the senator from New Hampshire and al
a myrmidons of Abolition;sm, and in tn
: language of the honorable Representative
, from Ohio, (Mr. Corwin) in regard to tn
Mexican war, we will "Welcome them will
bloody hands to hospitable graves"
