A CHATTER on MORALS.

Our beloved brethren Of the North,
the men Of ideas and philanthropy and
strtuous distractions, have but one great
grief III this cOlfederacy--that their con-
sciences suffer because of the degree Of
responsibility which is theirs, as connec:
ted with q eOnfederacy in which slavery
exists. One would think that short
process could be found by which 10. re.
iIeVe their conscientes Of this dreadful
moral responsibility--simply BY quitting
the connection. But the hypocrisy expo.
Ses itself the moment tile slave states
propose to relieve them by their own
Witldra@alirom the Union. Aud. then
they ignore. their own peace and philau-
thrOpy doctrines by insisting upon carry
ing war and carnage into the South, to
compelthe continuance Of that very Union
whieh was their loathing and horror.
Mr., Lincoln and the Union savers all al
tege that they have no design against the
peace the safety. or the installations OF the
south, and alllhey ask Of the SoAthjs,
simply that they should have trial, only
to prove how innocent they are. Elk.
cellent Christians! Admirable politi.
clans! Virtuous phiIanthopists! they
curse slavery. threaten its destruction,
aud use all their energies to acquire tue
power to. destroy it. And when they
think they have got this power and are

We gladly hurry on TO the 23d Of
May, 1888, when South Carolina found
herself for the FIRST time member Of tie
American Univn. She applies to the
Union the principles which she had
learned 10 her quarrel with E1gIand. She
inds that the Union does not exist for
her own benefit; that It does not accom-,
plish, SO far Us she seoaeerncd, fully and
entirely the ends OF its institution
that some articles Of the contract haze
not been fully accomplished; and. strong
in this conviction, she claims tue same
right against her sisters as she had be-
fore exercised against her parent. ~.
\, There is not much use . IN reasoning ut
the present time with South. Carolina.
Were she more amenaLle to reason, she
would not be in the position in which she
inds herself: bnt, still. We may observe in
passing thai it speaks well for the
wisdom Of the American federation when
We find its dissolution advocated on prin.
