The Union Turued Out.

by the patriotic and wise, much dreaded
condition of our country-that awful ca
lamity-has at last transpired. The King
dom of South Carolina has tnrned the
Union out doors. Yes, turned it out to
freeze and starve. 1t can have no more
cotton to protect its shivering limbs from
borcan blasts, and no more rice nor sweet
potatoes to suage the fearful hunger there
by induced she is no longer to have the
protecting @gis of puissant king cotton,
whose crescent and palmetto flag has so
long protected her wandering citizens, her
armies and her fleets: she is no longer to
have the wisdom of her voice in her coun.
ellis, to hold in check the spread, the bale
full spread, of the spirit of freedom; no
more to have her chivalric Brookses and
Keitts to suppress its utterance in her ma
tional halls no longer to have the privi-
lege of laying at her feet the commerce of
the world with the world news; and last,
though not least, she is no longer to have
the inestimable prerogative of chasing, re-
capturing and returning its sable, hound
torn fugitives! All woe, woe is u.s.
Turned out. Given over to the madness
Of our own pernicious free institutions
Turned adrift upon the great Ocean of the
world, to be beaten, buffeted and wrecked
by the surges and breakers Of free schools
free speech and free men Abandoned to
the monstrous heresies of the Declaration
of '76 and the ordinance of ~ and the
still more awful-bccause still more ex-
plicit-teochiaags Of such arch traitors as
Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Henry.
How shudder in view of our future, so
gloomy. Shut out from all the manifold
advantages of familiar intercourse with
such pure teachers as Rhett and his COM
peers noble emulators of the ages of Nero
and Michel Romanoff, and committed to
the charge of such blind guides as Frank
lin and Jay, what unutterable horrors
must be in store for us. Mr.. Editor, my
grief is so abundant that l find it impos-
sible to be coherent. The thought of be-
ing tore0er shut out from the kingdom of
South Carolina and from a participation
in the stupcndous charity of outstanding
and bleaching, pagan and night colored
Africa, has nearly overwhelmed me-
But the fault has been, and is, all our
own. We have had it wholly within our
own power to avert this dire calamity.
Oh yes. Often, often have we been
warned of our impending obstruction.
Did not the lamented nephew of his la
mented uncle-the gallant Brooks-in the
face, eyes and ears of the whole world, in
the Senate-chamber, kindly admonish us,
the deluded North, through the person Of
our infamous Sumner, to desist from our
suicidal policy of free thought and free
speech Has not the renowned General
Cushing reminded us of the man that was
coming on horse back And was not the
aforesaid nephew rewarded for his patri-
otto service, by the plaudits Of the be-
nignant King? Did not Heaven soon af-
ter take both uncle. and nephew home, as
"too good on earth to stay" and are not
Sumner and Burlingame both left, con-
demned to live in free society, as "too bad
to take away?" But the voice of sainted
Brooks was needed not---even his hickory
voice-such was the madness of the hour.
Has not the Kingdom of South Carolina
for long long years been to infinite pains
to shed light upon our stubborn hearts ?
Has she not made large sacrifices of her
native feathers and indigenous tar, and be-
slowed them freely upon our foolhardy
brethren, who, in the face and eyes Of
Section 2, of article 4, of the federal con-
stitution "The citizens of each State
shall be entitled to all the privileges and
immunities of the citizens of the several
States" have had the recklessness to in
wade the sovereignty of said kingdom, for
the nefarious purpose of circulating incen-
diary documents, such as the Bible and
other kindred works? Candor compels us
to admit that such has been their patriotic
course. 1t will not do for us to deny that
we have been frequently warned. Irecol-
