GINA, Kent7csy, and Missouri. There can be no
greater fa'lacy would be decidedly the interest OF
the Cotton States 10 have those States remain ont OF
the Southern Confederacy. They want no rival inter-
etts within their limits requiring tariff, for protection,
such 90 are now sprDgipg mp in the Southern Border
States. All they need is monopoly OF the couon
plant 10 enable them 10 dictate their relations with the
rest of the world aud the Border States will serve SIS
a rampant against Northern crusaders; for the Repub;
leans will be glad TO let them alone, when they hoo
that their bird and stubborn adherence to party has
resulted in driving ont the Gulf states: They VIII

Such blockade might last month or two, but what
ia that to brave people, who feel that they are out
ragged And however partial the English and French
Governments may now, for sinister purposes seem 70
be 10 the Republican party neither government couo
exist six months without forcing any blockade we
fhe cotton Of our South has, for the last forty years
preserved us from European aggression, and enabled
us to be the haughties and most defiant nation in the
world Cotton Is next to bread, because il is the only
near by which many mi lions are fed and stoppage
of supply for few months would cause revolution IN
most of our Northern States and in every border State
of Europe. ~
There lie an idea In the North that there will be
contest about the Inauguration and the public buildings
at Washington. take it that there can be no contest
about the Inauguration, and that the Cotton Confede
racy would not accept the public buildings az wash
ington were we to offer TO surrender them Their In
terett in the Lincoln Inauguration will have ceased be-
fore sha have occurred and they will have no need
of expensive buildings for their simple Government
The Federal expenses Of the Cotton States would be
very little. They would want no army, no navy; no
custom.housss nor post-ofces. Judiciary and an
efficient police all they would require, and most
this would be paid by the respective States as at pres
ent Free goods and free ships would be their basis,
and OH our side of the line only would the
be met The ur restricted navigation OF the Mississippi
would be conceded to the Northwest and it is i'm.
probable that they would long continue TO pay thirty
per cent taxes on imports to the North Atlantic con-
Should the North not elbow this simple and peaceful
mode of separation but resolve 10 use force to bring
back the seeding States you will admit that we woud
not in this event be successful, if the South could
command the most money, that indispensable engine
Of war; Our Federal Treasury il now empty, or
| will be- on the 4th Of March, relying on daily
per cent by the oes Of Southern exports Our Fed
eral treasury could not count on more than twenty
five millions year from mposs after the South had
left us. We would therefore, have at once 10 resort
TO income poll and every other sort OF taxation, 10
| keep up cur present expensive machinery-not TO
| speak Of the conduct of an offensive war; On the
oher hand all the South would have to do, and being
then lees taxed than they are to-day to sustain the
present Union would be 10 system OF tax
alton by imposing export duty OF twenty live per
cent on their cotton tobacco and rice and they would
draw from every portion OF the world more gold than
! they would want for defensive war. Twenty-Five
per cent would give them than seventy millions
year. and If they wanted money they might make
It fifty per cent for the world and especially our
selves would nevertheless be obliged TO buy their cot:
| ton rice and cbacco. The European nations would
not object to this mode of taxation as their products
and manufactures would be admitted free of duty
! A Southern confederacy is thus very practicable
thing and the ambitious Republican leaders will Ind
the brilliant dominion at which they grasp perish 10
their hot breath before their hands have touched it.
The South has been driven by the North Into cold
araysis of the worth of that grand Union which had
nao of immortality about IT, and they are on the very
verge of deciding that in the present condition of the
Northern mind they better out of 1t. The brave
and gallant Douglas, after having made an unproce
dentd canvass of the Atlantic slope and Of the Lake
and Mississippi valleys has gone to the Gulf States,
rskpg everything TO the excited people OF that
section that the North, whatever the appearance may
be, will in the end return to her constitutional obi
| cations. Shall his words be sustained
The Republic might st be saved intact, If the North
would at once look the danger full in the face. The
dread view would warn us and save us. 1t Is true that
much of The evil that now throws its gloom athwart
the country is traceabe TO the crazy ntermeddng of
the wretched od man now at the head OF the Govern
ment, but courageous and enlightened people
should show themselves superior TO any NAL admins
Iaton.
Shall future his.ory say that this splendid year of
1860 was the elimination Of gigantic but shsdowy
glory Or wise In our own day as our fathers were
in theirs, sball we again warmly grasp hands as IN
every previous agnailon ana move iorWau, aecee-
rating even present progress Of a thousand men
day. huDdI ed miles year, We have been 30 pros
porous, with nothing to let hinder us-with such
noble sympa'hes in the hour of calamity, in the day Of
war and victory, and peace We have felt ourselves
every man sovereign, when we trod Europe's old,
stitied, struggling soil; American has been recog-
Dzed as carrying his individual sphere eptome of
bis glorious country. And is it all gone Has it
passed away The best and Purest patriots South be-
ieye it-and he is mailman that does not fear it.
To create the Union God hke-to destroy it is
5evish. Your fellow-citizen,
