The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-11-15

1t will be seen by telegraphic dis
patches, in this issue, that the gassy
politicians of South Carolina and Geor-
gia are actually meditating treason.
The hot-headed traitors are trying to
stir mp the people to rebellion against
the Government.
Always having had the control of
the Government in their own hands,
and forced it. into their own sectional
purposes, and. Frustrated it to their own
"base uses" they now, seeing their
power vanishing, threaten violence
against the Administration of a truly
National President whom the majority
of the States by the exercise of their
Constitutional rights and prerogatives,
have chosen to succeed the plant tool
of the Slave Power who now occupies
and dishonors that high position.
They threaten secessiom-blustcr like
SO many windy Falstaffs, about Disun-
ion-and chatter and splutter, like YER
table lunatics, about that which, when
in their sober senses, they would shrink
from as they would from sudden des-
truction. They act like set of reason
less madmen, thinking thus to frighten
the President elect into humiliating
submission to their sectional objects.
At Washington much excitement
prevails, and it would appear that The
Constitution, the organ of the Adj
ministration, has been obliged to modi-
fly its disunion tone. At Charleston
the Palmetto flag had been raised on a
vessel, and salute Of fifteen guns fired.
The resigning Federal office-holders
have had their action approved 10y a
public meeting, and dispatch tn the
Charleston Courier says that the Pres
ident will resist notification, but not
secession. AT Columbia the Speaker
of the House had received a dispatch
from Virginia, rendering the services
of volunteer crops in the event Of
South Cardinals secession. Edmund
, Ruffin had addressed meeting advo-
eating secession- 1t is said that a
State Convention is to be called, and
that secession is certain. Messrs. Boyce,
Bonham, and Keitt urge this course
and immediate action. A Convention
t is also called is New Orleans to organ
,, ize corps of minute men. Georgia is
also to have Convention and dissolve
the Uniom On the other hand, Gov.
f Brown throws cold water upon the
r proposition. He claims that Northern
States have violated the rights of the
people of the South, and advises the
= enactment of law authorizing repri
b sails.
!, As for South Carolina, abe has beer
> from the time of the Revolution to the
present, in ferment. At that time
e the people of South Carolina were eth
? err tories or towards, and have don,
nothing since to redeem their lost rep
/, utation. On the contrary, they have
= done much to prove themselves bnllie
d and eowards-two qualities that arr
Iiu.eparabIe and have by their insane
; rawlings, kept this nation in 3 constan
!. tumnlt. They are now, feeling the Sc
: curity which their real insignificanc'
h has hitherto afforded them, playin!
; the bully with higher hand thai
y ever. Trusting to the IMMUNITY wit
!, which they have indnlged thus far
IF except when Jackson was alive-i
. their reasonable teachings, it is posi-
Is bic they may be foolhardy enough t.
attempt to do as well as threaten, an
that they will not be quiet until the
D. find their neeks in halter. We raihe
l. hope they will. The gallows is tn
e. only remedy for the disease with ~hic
o IS they have been SO long afflicted. Blu
of one thing the people may be certai
W they are too cowardly To 60 one ste
a further than they think they can g
=. =. with perfect safety.
