The fact. that sectional and Abolition President of

absolutely indispensable that South Carolina and her
sister Southern States should no longer remain in
connection unsafe dshonorable anddegradins. The
UNION IS DISSOLVED! and, whether any other State
moves or not South Cardinals obliged to uniurl her
banner and fling to the breeze. Honor, safety, and
interest demand that this step be tken and however
much disposed men may he, ordinarily to lear tic ills
they have than fly to those they know not Of there is
always point r all human experience, when lorbear-
auce ceases to be virtue. and tame submission to
injustice and outrage only bring ruin and dsonor
upon those who bear it. The die is cast: the Rubicon
crossed; and we must either, as frcemen defend our
rights, or sink as fawnng sychophants, and kiss the
p,and that smites. Never! No, never! will such a
GATE be ours! SOUTH CAROLINA WILL SECEpE! and

Esq., the talented editor Of the Son Of Temperance at
Bennettsville, and Rev. Z. J. MErNARplE, of this
place.
Mr.. MOORE gave brief review Of the Temperance
Reform-what it had accomplished, and was now do
ing for the moral and social Improvement of our race
He sustained his position admirably, that the cause
had accomplished good, and was destined still to do
more for the cause Of man in his warfare against vice
His address was interspcrscd with passages of huor
AND pathos He Of course did not slight the ladies.
Mr. MEYNARDH gave a strong argument in favor Of
associated effort in the promotion of moral REFORM and
the accomplishment of the end desired. He maintain

Where IS the nan North or South, who dmcs to ut
ter the faschood that 1ge are to blame for the result Of
this days ISSUE even if the most fearful consequences
should ensue? Let the truth of History be presented
and who can show that the South has ever demandcd
even her rights: For the sake Of the Union-as it is
called-thc South has roinqnshed many of hcr vital
rights has shed her blood, and emptcd her treasury
for the common good: and what is The result?
We are mocked for our credulty and rid;culcd for
our confidence in those who have neither manauimv
virtue or common honesty; who lave fIched every
dime from US that they could and now are ready to
rob- murder ana annhilate their brethren in 0ts Uaoa
A sublime spectacle to contemplate. A glorious
Union with a peculiar vengeance.
Tho timc has fully come for this connection to bc

Should Mr. BRECKENRIDGE, by any lccuspocis ar

than the election Of Mr.. BREcEINRIDGE, should even

That would only be taking free soilcr in place Of an

That il tho South did not resist should have timely

Is it not So d?

an any honest and rejecting mind doubt as to the
ke of bitter hatred and hostility of the public opiu-
and feeling Of the people of the North towards the
outh7 1t has been we'll remarked:-
- aAlthough largely dependent on the South for their
daily increasing prosperity and wonderful expansion
and enrichment at heart we arc hated and despised-
Ayarce alone keeps them in association with us-avar
ice gratifed at submission to their policy Of plum
der and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by the operations Of the Gen
eral Government. For ourselves, we do not believe
nhat there is the least sympathy or fraternity on the
part of the great body Of the Northern people towards
the people Of the South. If they could be sure that
they would not be injured by the confag-aton, they
would rejoice to see the whole South wrapped in the
flames Of seryie instruction All professions TO the
contrary nothing but the suggestions of selfish
policy"
IF this is true-and what sane can doubt its
TRUTHS there any virtue, excuse; in attempting
longer to bolster up miserable farce Of L1ion-in
which there is not the first element of agreement unan-
unity or strengh-thc purposes Of which have been de-
fated and in the place OF Its proving blessing is
curse and injury to those who have maintained
Its integrity and have more than once proved their
devotion to its interests, with their lives? 1t is
even worse than the madness Of folly now to attempt
longer to unite elements as uncongenial as fire and
water.
The 'frrepressible conflict" has been wagcd in hot
earnest and we of the South must withcr under its
scorchng blast ard sink to the most humiating and
contemplate vassalage, or repel its onward march,
saying to its proud and arrogant waves thus far shalt
tho. come, and further Is there man in our
country, with the instincts Of humanity in his bosom
with the spirit Of man warming tho current of life
who is willing longer to submit to outrage and injury
to see his own soil polluted by the foot Of the foe
his myrmidons swarming euen non ir our midst-to
hnrrass our wives and little ones with fears Of
ing fate, thousand times worse than death?
Will EXPERIENCE fail to teach US tho lesson, that,
heternal vigilance is the price Of liberty" and that
disy are unworthy o! the noble heritage, who haven't
the courage or hearts TO defend t!cir homes and fire
sides?
