OF the position of the North in this crisis,
he says
The Northern party has succeeded TO now
er they ara therefore deeply interested, IN a
PoftticdI sense. in keeping the Union together,
and can well afford to do all that we have a
rlgnt to demand, under the Constitution; and
II they do not, re may BE- ob!e 10 accomplish Oh
tnat tS essential, hro"gh the action Of Congress-
NOW, as. you say 10 NE, ''sit down, side by
slde with me,'' and let US talk this matter
over. Suppose the North should agree to
repeal all their obnoxious legislation which
mas for Its object the obstruction TO the exc
cution OF the fugitive slave law, (Which they
ought not TO hesitate to do, even if n o Union
were at s. ke,) and if not, suppose Congress
should so modify tina. law as to relieve il of
mat Obnoxious feature TO which l referred in
my Lynchburg speech, and thereby add to-
rather than impair lis efficiency, and accom-
panylng that legislation, with a bill declar-
Ing IL 10 fe q felony of the highest grade
and subIrct 10 heavy penalties by fine and
imprisonment to rescue or attempt to res
cue slave in custody of the officers, or
after he had ben restored to his master, and
making the General Government responsible
for the yalue OF the slave that may to rescued,
and holding II as 4 charge against the State
that shall permit the law to be thus violated
within its territory then suppose, in refer
ence to the Territories, there should be wis
dom and patriotism enough, IN both sections
OF the country, TO restore matters to the con-
dition they occupied prior 70 1854, by re-estab-
fishing the Missouri Compromise line, don't
you think, my good friend, you could then be
persuaded TO agree that all the Southern
States, except South Carolina, tr0Hld agree
even without the restoration of the Missouri
line, TO remain little longer in the Union /?
although South Carolina might have assumed
that she was too good, and high toned and
chivalric TO remain where Virginia, Kentucky
Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina and
Missouri would be prouu to stay! And If
South Carolina should be deaf TO all remon-
STRANGE, and insist that she would stay out
after that, don't you think she ought to he lett
to share the fate she had 50 unnecessarily
courted and provoked
All this j have strong hope may be accom-
plIshed, if REASONABLE ttnis is allowed, suita-
Bile spirit is adopted, and a proper course is
pursued but do not think it can be done by
the system of bullying and bravado that many
OF our leading men seem to have q decided pas
sion for. The North and South are equally
brave, and brave people, like 81 brave man,
will always despise asd defy bully, ana
there has been too much of that game played
on both sides
SOUTH CAROLINA.

versary of the battle of Fort Moultrie. The
other holidays are Good Friday, Christmas,
New Years Day, Thanksgiving and fast days.
correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Columbia says:
ITO Judge from the music heard here, a
stranger would think he had landed in 4
French province. One of our old-tashiOned
national airs is never heard, but from every
quarter-from the pianos in hotel parlors, from
private residences, from bands on parade, and
from every conceivable instrument, comes the
everlas ting 'Marseillaise; if you happen TO
pass residence and lady is singing in the
parlor, it is the 'Marseillaise, the only alter
alton in the words being in the first line, where
Carolina is substituted for France the small
boys in the streets whistle the Marseillaise, ,
and that only, and, indeed, children OF rather
an older grow III have caught the Infection, and
join in the general song lit has become some
t1ing like the harp OF a thousand strings
only refer to this fact as another evidence OF
the feeling peryading all classes and conditions
OF society here
THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA CENsCRKD.
The Georgia House of Representatives have
unanimously passed vote of ceGsure upon
the Governor of that State, Hon. Joseph Z.
Brown. Il appears that the Governor In We
toing the Bank Relief bill intimated that it
had been passed through corrupt influences
used by the banks. The Legislature requested
an explanation. The Governor replied that
mo charge OF bribery was intended; that the
language used was general and was intended
TO be directed against what is usually known
as lobby influence, when gentlemen leave
their homes and spend money Tor travelling
purposes, tavern bills, &c, &c, tor the puI =
pose of hanging around the General Assem- bl y
TO try to influence the minds of members SO
as to procure the passage OF particular bill"
The reply closed with the hint that conscious
innocence" would not have approprlat ted to
itself language in which there was no impu-
tation of criminality made. The House did
not like the answer and the following resolu-
tions were passed-ayss lib, nays q
Be 1T hsSotred, That His Excsency Governor
Brown, has not only abused the privileges OF this
House, but mas faded to MAINTAIN, IN his otlc lai

Georgia.
