bred Scott Decision.

A more biting reproof we have not
lately read on this subject than was adj
by Senator Wade, Of Ohio, in
the course OF his very powerful speech in
the Senate, on the 9Th inst, on the Slave
code resolution of Mr. Brown, which
forms the chief plank in the democratic
platform;
" But the Senator claims the right 10
carry slavery into the Territories because
the decision Of the Court gives them the
right. Now no man has more respect
for the decisions of the Courts, when
within their droper judicial limits, than ]
have, nd no one knows better how essen
tal II is that these should be lived up to.
But Just as much as revere an honest
Court, keeping within It's jurisdiction and
/ restraining itself from any political con
nection, so, Sir, in exact proportion do |
abhor and scout one from the corrupt
Judge who, for any purpose, will reach
over the case before him and endeavor 10
advance a political cause by any decision
he may pretend to make. The moment
the court transcends its authority for the
purpose of affecting any political cause
its decision is impertinent, and, with tht

Letter from Hon. Herschel V.
Johnson. e

TThis admirable letter was written by
Gov. j ohnson, upon the OCCASION Of the
wrong which was done to the South, up
on the admission of California into the
Union, under SO many circumstances OF
irregularity, and Of disregard to theinter-
ests of the South; q wrong, which is
dwarfed into absolute insignifcance, when
comparedswith those fearful calamities,
which are rapidly approaching in the cleo
ton of Black Republican administra-
ton, and which will overwhelm the South,
when that hostile party shall take posses
sion of the government and consummate
their openly avowed purpose of emanci-
pating the slaves.
The letter, throughout, breathes the
true spirit of q manly Southern heart,
sensitive to the wrongs of his country,
and determined not to submit to them. If
sentiments like these, were resolutely car
ried out into manly ACTION, the South
would no longer be aggressed upon; nor
would her dast remaing refuge, against
oppression and insult, de denied her-of
withdrawing herself from the control of
her avowed enemies and oppressors. She
has been, heretofore, insulted and tram
pied upon, and she is now doomed
by the Black Republican party, to degra-
dation and ruin, simply because she is
considered too slothful and cowardly to
defend her rights, or adopt any efficient
measures, to beat back the aggressor, and
establish her safety, upon the sure foun-
dation of friendly government Of her
own.]

Gentlemen: I thank you for your kind

forbid me the pleasure of its acceptance.

My personal acquaintance with Col.
McMillen is limited, but I know him by

to honor, and sincerely trust the great
cause whose banner he bears by the uni
ted voice of the Southern Rights party Of
his district, may be triumphant.

hand, believe that Immediate secession, or
secession after waiting unreasonable time"
Efors The cooperation Of other States, is
indispensable tothe safety and honor of
The State of South Carolina. Which of
these parties will eventually predominant
l'emainsto be seem and until that is de-
eided, I shall content myself with assert
iagthe right Of secession, leaving the expe-
1iency of its exercise to be decided by the
result. Should it be found that a very
considerable minority is not only opposed,
but will resist resort to this remedy for
their grievances, conceive its immediate
adoption would be hazardous in the ex-
tremc. But when great interests are at
stake, much should be risked in their
preservation. For myself. | will only
say, that were citizen of South Caro-
lima, or any other Southern State, trust
i should not be found among those, who,
after placing themselves in front Of the
battle, and leading their followers into a
position where they could not retreat
without dishonor retired from the field,
only, it would seem, to see if the enemy
would pursue them.
A few words more, Gentlemen, in order
that 1 may not be misunderstood or mis-
represented, and will no longer trespass
on your time or patience.
If I know myself, and the innermost
feelings of my heart am better friend
to the Union than many Of those who
while loudly protesting theirdovotion, are
steadily pursuing a course Of policy that
has already alienated considerable por-
ton of its citizens, and will assuredly
bring about it's dissolution. 1t iseundel
the influence of this attachment, that ]
have lent my feeble aid in opposition to
that policy. Neither force nor coercion
can preserve Union voluntarily formed
on the basis of perfect equality; nor do |
believe it possible to preserve or pcrpetu-
ate this Confederation by any attempts
to extend the powers of the General Gov
ernmont beyond the limits prescribed by
the Constitution, strictly construed, agree
ably to its letter and spirit. The first at
tempt to coerce any one of its members
will be the handwriting on the wall, pre-
dieting the.spcedy and certain fate of the
Union. 1t is not to be presumed that
great States, many of them equal in ex
tent to powerful Kingdoms, aud inhabited
by Increasing millions of freemen, jealous
of their rights, brave, high-spiritcd, anc
energetic, can be held together except by
voluntary cohesion. This Confedera
ton may be likened to. the great system
of the universe, and tits, only, by the be
nign and gentle influence Of attraction

restrain All irresponsible and fanatical ma
jority.. What, then, are VIC to do? Isay,
let MS bear to the last point Of endurance,
but let us proclaim; through the bal
lot box, that we have no right to secede,
and that if we do sccede we are to be re-
gardcd as insurgents and revolutionists.
Tt never, never can. be true, that our fore
fathers, III the struggle Of '76, fought only
to achieve that whichis the right Of serfs,
theright of revolution. They had that
under the British crown. But they strug-
sgled for more-for colonial sovereignty
and they won it.
Did they turn around Immediately and
surrender all they had battled for into
the power Of an elective consolidation?
Never, never Those who maintain such
positions, falsify all the history of ourr
olution, and bring dishonor upon the mas
ter spirits Of its thrilling and eventful
scenes. The right of secession must be
maintained. 1t is the last, the only hope
of the South Let us maintain it with
unanimity, and we can hold in check the
spirit of abolition and consolidation. But
if we yield it, the whole theory Of our
federativc system is changed, and we are
in the power of those whose mercy is like
that of the wolf to the lamb. If we yield
it, we not only proclaim in advance, that
we still submit to nsurpation and aggres-
sion, but we do worse, we admit that we
have nc right to resist. and that is po-
litical vassalage.

GOLDEN Rules FOR tyEs.-Resolve
every morning to be cheerful that day;
and should anything occur to break your
resolution, suffer it not to put you out of
temper with your husband. Dispute not
with him, be the subject what it may !?
but rather deny yourself the satisfaction
Of having your own will, or gaining the
better ofargument. than risk aquarrel or
create heart burning which it is impos-
sib-e to sec the end of Implicit submis-
sion of man to his wife is ever disgrace
full to both, but implicit submission in a
vile to the just will of her husband, is
what she promises at the altar, what the
good will revere her for, and what is, in
fact, the greatest honor she can receive.
Be assured, q woman's power, as well as
hes happiness, has no other foundation
than her husbands esteem and love, which
it IS her interest, by all possible means, to
preserve and increase share and soothe
his cares, and with the utmost assiduity,
conceal his errors
