So VIII DC as ready as any one TO defend IL at the

5reuer and shall endeavor defend the rights OF the
South in the Union where think they have been hereto
fore properly defended and may still be defended, II the
South is true to herself and united in that defence
That all who were disunonsts 81 oud have reoicod at
the breaking up OF the democratic Convention IN Charles
ton very natural They saw in that movement the de-
structiOn Of the national democracy and their defeat In
the coming Presidential election They saw in the future
the election OF black republican, and knew what pow
eriu lever would be their hands 10 WELD against the
Union. Bat thai any riena 10 the federal Union and
lover Of the peace and quiet Of the republic should have
r,jcced Al such dire calamity is most amazing. The
democratic party had been the friends OF the south and
the rights Of the States the true supporters and defend
constitution and the only lust and wise rulers
Of the governments from its foundation TO the present
time Under their administration the boundaries OF the
republic bad been enlarged by the acquisition Louisiana,
florida Texas California and Oregon. The rights and
honor OF the republic had been CALAMITY defended IN
war with Great Britain and with Mexico How any pa
rot could chuckle aud grin over the death OF this go'
rious old party is more than | can comprehend.
But does that for years past there has been at
the south systematic organization 70 weaken ana drive
from the democratic party all who stand by it and fight
for ID In the Norther States. Their sectoualze
parties the black republicans have done at the Mortal
the federssts dd durug the war OF lSl2a OF which
Washington denounced fatal to the republic fatal 10
our independence, and fatal to liberty itself
Dsun ion-a word OF horrible import to the ilustrous
sages of the republic which was not TO be preathed
By Washington Jefferson Madison, Monroe and Jack
sons in the mouth OF every hippant politician,
newspaper editors, half educated schoolboys and
unthinking morals 1t Is the high road to OH &c and
popularity and he who repeat the dying behes OF
the Father OF his Country is branded traitor. The
same feeling manifested in the Northern States by the
black republicans and John Brown sympathizers Well
may II he said have fallen evil times, and that
those whom the gods intend TO destroy they first make
msd.n
To this folly 1t is proposed for South Caro-
lima march out OF the Union solitary aud alone Iaat
" left alone we shall do very WE'LL and If attempt Is
made TO force back the South will rally to the rescue
We had better depend being let alone We oppose
the collection Of duties We may wtndra ~ our members
of and will disturb Ia 1851 President
Fillmore did not manifest any disposition 10 let alone
He troops Oh irles;on. General jackson did tho
1881 We must not, therefore, expect TO be let
alone Wi the other southern States rally assist
snce Ia doing that which they themselves think IL ad

them TO unite, with beforehand? And If they will not
unite in act for to stay with them till some act
is which will unite the Southy
There is doubt at all that u the whole South were
any course they would take of themselves
in any emergency The proper course for south rona
pursue 70 TO the ether Southern States she is
ready with the and 70 wait their action, what
that may be. This will prevent her play ug before
high heaven ridiculous farce or bloody tragedy
