We serve up in this column dish OF
Disunon .en,lmcnts. We must confess
that an air Of candor and deep sincerity
pervadc the expressions here cnunciated.
Senator Brown in late speech at
Coplah Spring, Miss, makes use Of the
following language which we extract.
He makes the following illustration in
regard 10 the Union
| love the Union, but sing no hozanDas to it's
| name there are people enough engaged In
| that work. The Union Is like great gum
| capital thing for defense In my own hands.
or In the hands of a friend, should rely on it;
| but il it. fall into the hands OF an enemy. |

the Union in t . hands Of Breckinridge Bell or
Doug Is. should feel, il lot altogether SAFE. It

creased in proportion AS the distance increa. ed
between u.s.
lie goes on in his speech to discuss
the question whether the South can
submit to the Inauguration Of Lincoln !:
Can We Long Submit In my opinion we
cannot. We may hug the phantom to our boz
| SONS that returning sensa OF Justice will in
duce the Northern people to forbear. Not So
my friends. They never will forbesr They
hate us now, and they teach their chi dren In
their schools and chui ches to hate our child
rem. You cannot long submit ii YOU will. The
John Brown raid, the burning in Texas, the
st-althy tread Vt aboiiiiopi-ts among Va, tell
the tale. History is experience teaching by
example Take care that the history Of San
Domingo be not your history. There a. here
the aboltiorist was OF going to interfere with
the rights of the master. He was only going
to ameliorate the condition OF the slave and
alter the blight AMI mldew of slavery. The
sequel was the total emancipation OF the me-
gro race Then came the burning of houses.
the murder Of men. the butchery of children.
the fiendlsh and worse than heilish outrages
IF women. Take care that the same see es
be not enacted here. The planters in San Do
II lingo listened to the soft words Of their enc
mics. They turned deaf ear to the advice
of their friends The end was that they died
amid the groans and shrleks Of their own fam
lilies, or fled the country. lightned w the con-
hagratior of their own sacrei dwelling.
No. my friends, Won can not submit, If you
will. he North Is accommodating power, and
1t means to use that power to emaDcipate your
slaves. When that Is done, no pen can de-
scribe, no tongue depict. no pencil paint the
horrors that will overspread this country You
may fancy that human folly or human mad
ne-s cannot 60 to that extent; but human fol-
~ aud human madness have gone to this ex
tent before, and it will do it again. You may
imagine that when the worst comes to the
worst you will take up arms and defend your
right. So thought the planters OF san Domn-
go but with them, as it will be with YOU the
| same power that eman cipatefi the negro stood
ny him and defended him after he enan-
| cipated Better my ire.ds look this danger
IN the face Disunion is fearful thing, but
| ncipa,ion is worse Better leave the
Union in the open face OF day, than lie lighted
from it ut midnight by the incendiarys torch.
Col. VIM. F. Sanford, Of Louisiana,
a well known devotee of State Rights,
in rectnt letter to the friends of Breck-
inIidge, takes similar view with Sena-
tor Brown. He says:
Shall we submit to his Lincoln'sl election :
No. What shall we do? Fight! Shall we
| submit to his Inauguration No! What
then? Flshtl! But it Douglas and Bell both
"aid' and 'coaiesce." what then? Then II ght ,
