logical convulsion, and the whole land will
be made to trsmble in the fierce conflict

NATIONAL AND CONSERVATIVE POSI-
TSON OF TINE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Governor Gist of South Carolina, 10 bis
message, regards the Union ~ pretty much
gone up.
The election of Republican President
will finish the thing |; not that republican
administration will violate the Constitution;
but the South cannot consent to stay in the
Union IN the minority.
ssThey are in permanent minority on all
questions affecting those rights and institu-
lions, aud whoever may exercise the powers
Of the Chief Migistracy, they will be sxef-
cised in obedience to the will Of the adverse
majority" 8FaE
There is true democratic doctrine. Union
II Ne can have the spoils disunion, il not.
Gov. Gist doubts of any kind Of President
can make it an object for them to stay
! He says: W
Let no statesman Of South Carolina tarn-
ish her glorious escutcheon by enlisting ~
/
political chiefs who are sra'pi-s as the Pres
! idential sceptre.
The election Of black republican Presi.
dent will settle the question Of our safety 10
the Union, and although the forms Of the
constitution may DO complied with, ito vital
/ principle will be extinguished, and the South
must consent to occupy an inferior and de-
grading position, or seek new safeguards
for her future security.
The Governor says the State by her own
act became member Of the Union and by
her own act she can withdraw. 1t is posi-
bic that careful readers Of the present and
the past generation have read something
| like this before in South Carolina messages.
In fact, to judge by her declarations, that
State always keeps her carpet bag ready for
/ travelling.

! the South. He draws the following pleas
