and patriots will rejoice, and all the Cypress

If Dissolution follows the event of yester-

raj disbursements and commercial advant-
ages. In case the fifteen Southern States
were TO form a new Confederacy, whOuld not

soil and character of these States be better
met, so as TO withstand what may transpire
| in the future. than the present Constitution
was calculated To do when it was formed
| adopted, or is calculated to do even now ?
For ourselves, We believe it to be almost i'm
possible.
The States now formed in the Mississippi
Valley will become the most populous and
powerful and will wish to control. Will the
others submit The interests of Georgia
Will very probably conflict, commercially,
with those OF South Carolina, as do those of
New York now. South Carolina will be
just as tenacious of what she calls her rights
Then as now. and if she cannot lead and con-
troll, her sclf-conceit will be just as offended
as now. In spite of all she can do Georgia
will become to the Few C3uiedeTarv what
New York is to the present. Can or will
South Carolina submit? VIII not that State
become just as turbulent as now? Undoubt-
edly for she cannot brook restraint, OF con-
troll. Whal thrn?
It will be difficult, if not impossible. to
form new conlederacy, on satisfac tory
basis, and the only course left will be for each
State to become an Independent nation,
have a President aud Congress of its own;
have ministers resident near the Government
oil each other levy It's Owa tariff and con-
tract its own treaties. Ii Georgia suffers in
any respect in The present Union, she will in
any Other that may be formed. aud sh ould
she be forced 10 disrupt this for present
causes, she will be kept cut Of any other for
similar cause. H nee. she would remain an
independent nafiOn. Her geographical posi-
ton, her prese railroad connections with
the Mississippi River, aud those c0ntempla-
ted, aud the fine BARRIERS shesposst sses an the
Atlatic coast, will make her The commercial
nation of the fifteen. These are advantages
she cannot be deprived of. She can maintain
an Independent nationally as well, or better,
than either of the other fifteen, excepting
Virginia aud North Carolina. In a new con-
feteracy South Carolina and Florida would
claim full equality which it would be con-
decension on the part of Georgia to grant,
and 1t would have to continue so as long as
tue compact remained in force. But without
4 new confederacy, in tie course OF events,
Georgia might absorb South Carolina. Flor-
da and Alabama, wipe out boundaries. and
erect herself, into magnificent little Repub-
lie, producing three Of the great staples of
the world, VIZ; cotton. sugar and rice.
If, then, the present Union should be dis
solved, we are in-favor OF Georgia's refusing
to enter into any ''entangling alliance" with
any of the others, but maintaiu an indepen--
dent sovereignty, aud use all honorable
means to promote her agrandizement. The
same jealous, turbulent spirit which precipi-
tated this, may preciptate another disrup
ton, aud force her into il against her judg-
ment, and, hence. an isolated position will be
the most to her interest as well as the most
dIguided.
