The Legislature of South Carolina assembled in
regular session in Columbia, on the 9th. The
message of Gov Gist is of course rank secession
document He says except as regards Mississippi
and Alabama all hope of concert and action by the
Southern States is lost. He says South-Carolina
mast look neither to the right to the left but go
straightforward to the contamination of her purpose
TIE Governor advises the prohibition of the in
tolrction of slaves from States not members of the
Southern Confederacy, and particularly the border
States. He says let them keep their slave property
in their own borders, and, as the only alternative
left them, let them emancfpate them. This is very
kind The intention is to force North Carolina,
Virginia, and other border States to go with South
Carolina.
The Governor says he cannot believe that the
present or the next administration will insist on
holding the harbor defences of Charleston, on
interfering with imports exports; but if mistaken
in this, I'VE must accept the issue, meet it as be-
comes men and freemen, who infinitely prefer ami

"PEACEABLE SECESSION"

"PEACEABLE SECESSION"
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t seems to me little peculiar that
those among us who are making the most warlike
demonstrations lin words and who cat the most
and the hottest fire. the greatest stickers for
"pcaceablc secession" They breathe out threaten
ings and slaughter-they cry for arms-they swear
like trooper. in FlandcrS-thcy talk cannon balls
look daggerS and geSticuatc Sharpes rifles; but the
ccnrpctal force Of "peaccable secession" brings all
their blood and thunder schemes to the same pacific
focus. They seem 10 desire all the ecat of brilliant
campagrs-to rcvel in all the romance of war-to
encirclc their brows with the laurel wreathS of vic
tOry-to draw upon themselves the glory of victori-
Gus battle fields all in the name of "pcaccabe Sc
cesSion," and without the slightest physical incon-
vencnce, except such as may be caused by Excess
sivc wagging of the tongue.
My cOuntrymen, be not deceived government
that can be pcaceably dissolved is government at
all. There is not an instance of such an event in
the annals of history, and there never will be. A
dissolution of this Union will inevitably be attended
with destructive war-ay, the most destructive the
sun ever looked down upon. As a brave and hon
orablc people should not stop to count the cost
of resistance to oppression and attempted subjuga-
ton; but the evil Of war should be reSOrted TO only
to prevent greater cvil-that of diShonor. Are we
now prepared for war; Have we sufficient provo
cation for war? What has the general government
done to justify in rebellion against itg Let the
people of the South ponder we'll To talk of war is
one thing, and to engage in it is another.
| appeal especially to North arolinians. Will
you be the tail TO the chivalry C) kite of South Car
DINA? What allegiance do you owe to people
who reoced over Lincolns election, because it gave
them a fancied pretext for consumnatng their long
cherished schemes of disunion, and placed in their
hands, as they claim the power to drag you into
the same vortex of ruin into which they are madly
rushing? Did iorelathers receive the news of
the passage of obnoxious laws by the English gov
eminent with demonstrations Ofjoy Did our brave
but thoughtless boys IN our schools and colleges
throw up their caps with huzzaS and take "whoo
holiday" on the reception of such news? No. no.
Grave men gravely deliberated. They ardently
sought and fervently prayed for a reconciliation. n
They exhausted every effort for peace and then
ed boldly, discreetly, and with approving con-
science. How different from the madness which
rules the cohorts of Wm. L. Yancey & Co..
Let North Carolina maintain that high conserva-
tive character which has always distinguished her.
Let her act our fathers acted; and when she
takes her stand let her be like of her own granite
mountains, immoveably fixed upon her own founda-
tons, without leaning for assistance upon the mis-
called chivalry of gallant but misguided sister

ton: s@

Cantweli,) who is an avowed disunionst, and who
even dares TO wear dsunioD badge while acting as
the Secretary Of Democratic caucus violated the
law of the State by giving out his printing to
another office, supposed to be party to the comb
nation against u.s. and that too when we were the
State Printer and entitled to the courtesy at his
hands of being recognised as SUCH"
We were no party in secret open combina-
ton against you for the State printing; and even if
We had been disposed to enter into one, we should
have done so with native born citizen and not
with man who had been recently naturalized, and
who We thought had no claims any party. We
had never said word to Mr. Spelman nor any of
his friends about the State printing either directly
or indirectly, but We did speak to some four five
of our friends in the Legislature to run us for State
printers, in the event there should be difficulty in
clecting one; but however much we need patronage,
we had no idea of interfering with the claims of
those who had fought for their party.
Mr.. Cantwell gave us the printing of the "Oath"
for the members, because We were at work for him
on his valuable law book, and consequently most
convenient unler the circumstances
We are nothing bui book and job printers solicit
ing patronage from all classes, and we have said

DESERVED CoMrLIMENT-We are gratified to learn
that Judge Manly has been elected Supreme Court
Judge by very fattering vote in the Senate the
vote was unanimous, and in the House he obtained
over a hundred. Our Legislature showed much
good sense in this selection and in refusing to let
party spirit have anything to do with such elections
In the whole State no one could have been found
more worthy of the ermine than the distinguished
gentleman whom the Legislature has placed it.
Judge Manly is not only an ornament to the Bench,
but in the social circle and in the private walks
of life he is star of the first magnitude. Here
where he is best known he is most lOVed.-NeUbsrn

VIRGINIA ON THE "RIGHT OF Secession" Having
cited the solemn declaration of the gallant State Of
Mississippi in Convention assembled, against the
pretended right of secession" we recall to the
memory of our Virginia readers the attitude taken
upon this same portentous subject by the Legisa-
ture of their State, when, in the year 1851, an
appeal was made to Virginia in its behalf by South
Carolina. Those who observed the political CON-
plications of that period will remember that the
State of Virgin was invited to take the lead in
such movement; and the act of the Legislature
OF South Carolina calling a Convention of that
State, having been communicated to the Legislature
of Virginia, then in session. the following resolu-
tons We're adopted by the House of Delegates on
the 26th of March, 1851:
I" ResOlred That Virginia earnestly and affection
ately appeals to her sister State of South Carolina
to deSist from any neditated secession upon her
part, rhich cannot but tend to the destruction of
the Union, aud the loss to all of the States of the
benefits that spring from 1T Ayes ia, noes IL
" Resotced, That Virginia, believing the Constitu-
ton of the United States, if faithfully administered

States Of this Coaederacy and still looking to that
instrument for defence within the Union, warned by
the experience of the past, the dangers of the
present, and the hopes of the future invokes all
who live under it to adhere strictly to it. and
to preserve invioate the safeguards which it affords
