Well, ssys South Carolina, Eat is what we desire,
What " intend, and what we eXl ect to have. Bat

should ave tie mpuse Of sympathy ADDED to their IN

is such TO inspire much confidence. The AmeIi

punttious too, on q is subject; and more ready
OF disgusting American PEOPLE cannot well be
invented Il an that of cOer iOn expressed or implied.
Tier fidelity to tlose OF their section requires
OF Conmta the part Of tb,ir sister States, 10
secure its Iernarency, and movement or resolution
which can lie inter- reted 10 other sense adds nothing
TO tie accom- lslnent of the important scheme, whih
is now tie Inject of all mems thoughts.
The esson # one State alone, i'll ofany conflict
with tie Federal power, involves the other Southern
States who may not have seeded but who support
Il seeding one in sort of illegal, Irregular and
uncertain squabble with til General Government. 1t
is calculated to bring OF skirnlshcs, endl ss
al oistressing wi ereas the secession OF the whole
South simultaneously would require the General Gov
eminent 20 count tie cost before it moved, and
nol ing could be gained by war, the whole would
prClaGly end in negotiation and commercial treaty.
Tre it oseille and the prevalent sentiment North
ard South against the attempted coercion OF sovereign
State case Of secession, would lead us 10 suppose
il Irol able, that single State might withdraw IN
peace. But even if it were 70 allowed, such State
would be in stuati in manner calculated to give
content or prosperity to Eeol e. The whole oonih,
WORTHY # our ambition. Ills view, we are glad TO
ay is lot REGULAR us it is that of people here and
there throughout tie country. The result will be- no
doubt a Southern Convention, composed OF delegates
chosen bv the State Conventions, and thus decision
will be ad of authority q highest acknowledged IN
Il is country-tat derived directly from the people
That great Southern COnN entiOD could hear and pass
urOn any guarantees the North willing 10 make;
and moi from eople Gs they would be- their de-
Cison would be satisfactory. But the first thing to be

way obtain that is by authority 81 the Legislature
Let our Lei islature then convene.

DEBTS DUE BY The SOUTH TO THE NoRTE.-There
exists enions in quarters that In the event
of dh solution of d. COniedeIacy, the debts now due
and TO become due by Southern merchants and citizens
10 Northern houses will be in some manner lost and
not paid. >,
We pIesume that there is az much individual honesty
end &C eItis integrity among Southern merchants
al citizens among any other people, ana any acts
of dishonesty will meet With tie same condemnation al
the South IL at ii ey meIl and receive among honest
people eVeIywle.e.
WI lie tie neIc ants and manufacturer Of the North
have in many instances been samefnlly dertllc Ia
their duty 10 tie South and to tie Union, yet such di
Honorable ctnduCt will be made the pretext by
lone.t Southern merchants for an avoidance of lust
Oblig tin TO pay honest debt. Goods, wares and
ert al die, purchased at The North will be honestly
raid for wlcler the Union be preserved OF dissolved
unless tie North vacaes the obligation to pay by max
ing var upon lie South.
Tie law Of nations has no better established princ-
lie than Il at state Of vacatcs all debts, claims
md contracts exiting between the suDJecls ana clt
zels # Tie nations at war. Tie payment Of debts
due from the South to the North will depend solely
upon tie North II that section appeals TO war, to
coercion aud seeks not TO MAINTAIN but TO aVenge the
Unie then il VIII become the duty Of every citizen OF
the South to feek for all means to intct injury Of
every Xii uTOn each and all Of the citizens Of the
North. The effort at coercion, followed by war can
only prevent Il North from receiving their lust debts
Tie tcoI le Of the South able TO pay and will pay
Conn ercial Ievulion may postpone and defer pay
uel t. but cannot repeal the just obligation to pay
III merchants and manufacturers of the North are
tlus dCubly interested in preserving the peace and all
their best Efforts should lie directed to that end
