NBEs~ We publish on the first page the resolutions
submitted by Mr.. Crittenden, and the speech sus-
tanning them. They are eminenty Just to both
sections-contain all that the South ought to de-
mand, and nothing that the North ought not cheer
fully to concede. Yet they were rejected by the
Republican majority of the Committee result
that was not anticipated, at one time, and would
not have followed in all probability, but for the ill
timed and anti-Southern speech of Andy Johnson
so, at least we learn from reliable Washington au-
thority. We ask our readers TO examine carefully
the matter and tone of the resolutions and Speech
and learn therefrom the reasonable demands of the
South, and the fanatic obstinacy Of the Republicans
For one, we will never consent to demand nor ac-
cept less than this But it may be eonteuded that
there are no Territories to squabble about and
therefore, portion of the demand may be abated
without any sacrifice. We are willing to admit
that, in the beginning, the quarrel was about a
mere abstracion but in the progress Of that quar-
rel, the South assumed positions-backed by the
Consttution-from which there is no safe retreat,
and the North advanced doctrines and claims which
the South cannot cencede and the question which
was originally raised for party purposes, now
resolves itself into grave demand on the part OF
the South, for the equality of the States and as
grave denial, on the part of the North, of that
equality so far as slavery is concerned. Thus the
character of the contest ha5been radically changed
and whatever its original Importance, the magni-
tude Of the issues that have grown out of it, and
the public sentiment it has engendered in both sec
tons, demand final settlement at this thine
Then let the South take its stand upon Critendcns
resolutions and leave the issue and the responsible
ty with the Republicans.

gs5~ South Carolina wants $4,000 and to
raise it, has called upon the wealthest men in the
State to advance it, as loan, under the penalty Of
being considered disafIected. This tyrrauical mca
sure bctrays both the poverty Of the government
and the spirit of its rulers. A few more such grabs
aypryate pockets will teach the people that sepa-
fate secession will not pay, and that they have been
yictimized by demagogucs. Forced loans are occa-
sondly rosortcd to by the long established dcspo-
tsns Of the Old World; but the empire OF South
Carolina is scarcely nine days old, and yet its pri-
yete citizens are ordered to yield up their substance
under the semhl0nce of loan, or take the risks of
ostracism aud coniscation We would advise the
Gulf States to look on awhile, before they plunge
into the same vortex,

Our True Defence.

The "Mississippian," the leading paper in
Mississippi, has an able article under this
caption, in which the most vigorous e~liftnsiee
war policy is strongly advocated. We make
the following extract:
It is perfectly clear TO our mind that the
only way to restore peace is to whip the Ian
KEGS. This war is consuming their country 1t
is true, but that is not enough. We have got
them to whip. We have heretofore acted
purely on the Misunderstanding Tor them to
attack US. If we were contending against a
brave foe who would attempt in reality to
carry out his arrogant boasts, thea this lag.
gard, defensive policy could find some excuse.
But finding that he is so much alarmed that
he dare not accept our repeated challenges,
Our true defense is to pursue him to his own
country, aud run him out Of his den.
"War to the knife, and the knife to the
hilt," is the motto, We have been compelled
to take up arms. Our liberties are threatened,
our property destroyed, our soil desecrated
with the footsteps Of the minions Of tyranny,
and the brave sons Of the South have been
torn from wives, children, mothers, sisters and
homes to rcpcl the lawless invaders. We have
seized the sword, let us throw away the scab'
bard, and follow the foe into his o~n country.
Let US change the scene Of action. The shell
ling of Cincinnati, the sacking of Philadelphia;
the taking Of Washington city, the inva
sion, of Southern Illinois, and other vel
aimed blows in that direction would do more
to bring the enemy to his senses, than year!
of defensive warfare upon our own soil.

Invasion of Texas.

E. W. Cave, writes from Austin, to the Gal,
weston "Civilian," that Gov. Clark, says the
commandant of the Texas Department has re-
ceived information which led hin" to believe
that Texas would be invaded within the next
sixty DAYS. This was early in September
The gallant Texans will meet in proud deli
ancc all the Yankee forces that may DC landed
on their soil. The invaders in that quarter will
not find a resting place for the soles Of their
feet any where except upon the decks OF their
vessels beyond the reach Of tho bullets Of the
| RANGERS.

Critical.

Some time sinc,, when the Yankee blhcka-
ding vessels were not on their post near B=au.
fort IIarbor, in other words, were nat block
aiding, two British vessels entered the port and
discharged their cargoes. They then took OF
board cargoes for Liverpool. In the mean
time, the Eicckading Squadron appeared off
Beaufort and notified the British vessels that
they would not be allowed to leave The bar
hor. The captains CT the British vessels re-
monstrated against this notice, taking the
ground that as there was no blockade when
they entered, they had a right 10 leave un,no-
Tested. The Yankees, however, persisted, and
the captains wrote to their Consul at Charles
ion requesting his presence at Beaufort, The
| Consul, on his arrival, took the SAM ground
with the Yankees that had been assumed by
| the captains, but with 10 effect; Thercupon
he repaired 10 Washington and put the case
before Lord Lyons, who, it is ssid, fully con-
CURED with the Consul and captains as to the
right OF egress, and ordered Il portion Of the
British Squadron TO Beaufort TO See the British
vessels safe out Of the harbor, and give them
convoy on their voyage homeward.
We give the above account as it was given
to US. Whether it is accurate in its details,
we do not know.-Halsigh Register.
