A CENTENNIAL.-It is a remarkable fact,
which has not been hitherto noticed, that this is
the centennial anniversary Of the commence
ment Of the resistance Of the Colonies to Eng
land. In the summer Of l76l, the opposition
TO the infamous "Writs of Assistance" in Bos-
ton was commenced by James Otis, at that time
the leading lawyer Of Massachusetts. John
Adams was then young man, just commen-
cling the study Of the law. IL his reminiscence
Of the famous speech Of Otis, before the royal
authorities, he wrote, "Then and there the rev.
olution commenced" Three years later, Q764)
Samuel Adams wrote the first "rebeious"
State paper, (the instructions to the Repre-
sentatiyes Of Boston, denying the authority Of
Parliament to tax the Colonies; and year
later, Patrick Henry came out with his cele-
brated Virginia Resolutions" which Writ
says, "set the ball in motion" But it was in
l76l that the first open.mouthed protest was
made against Parliamentary encroachments on
the rights Of the Colonies. 1t is somewhat sim
gular that in exactly century after the com.
mencement Of the Revolution, which pro-
claimed liberty to the people and to the world,
the hands Of traitors should be stretched out TO
destroy the goodly temple which the great and
the virtuous reared for their posterity. II is
fortunate that there remains patriotism enough
in the land 10 crush out treason, and preserve
the blessings Of liberty for future generations.

A Monarchy FOR the south.

A Southern planter writes the following
letter TO a Tennessee paper:
My DEAR SlR--I am somewhat acquaint-
ed with the secrets of Secessionists, and
deem it important to the people of the
whole United States Government to ac-
quaint them in due time of the ulterior de-
sign of the secession movement. The Ques-
tion is not, nor never has been, the protec-
tion of the Institution of slaves with Sonth
Carolina. but desire for a change Of Gov
ernment, aud to avoid the effects of North
crn policy upon the products Of the South.
as il has been represented to me by one Of
tie secret agents that has been travelling all
over the country for the last six months,
ucOg.. for the purpose of bearing up the
masses in the border States to the cause of
Secession
But, to come at once TO their policy:
First, IL is to adopt the Constitution Of the
States, under a Provisional Government,
for Que year and, in the meantime, TO get
the Border States to unite with them and,
when that is accomplished, then, at the end
of one year, to call a Convention of the Sc
ceding States aud to frame Government
upon monarchial basis-and the Minis
ters Of the Southern Confederacy are in
slructed especially TO so represent to the
foreign Courts. Republican form of Gov
ernment is TO be abolished, and the last
vestiCe Of Democracy to be destroyed un-
der this new order of things.
But the Secessionists are to withhold this
intention from the people until the new
Government eau he organized in such a
way as TO give il strength to secure its OBJ
jects. If any shall doubt this disclosure, If
it were possible TO compel by any means,
the leaders of Secession to make oath as to
the truth Of every word above remitted, the
people would find every word true.
did not promise sccresy of this disclo-
sure. although it was doubtless implied.
But deem it important to the whole coun
try that it should be in due time exposed
by SOUTHERN PLANTER AND UNION MAN.

The RICHMOND Press ON THE WAR.-The
Richmond Enquirer says "Nothing is
more probable than that President Davis
will soon march an army through North
Carolina and Virginia, to Washington.
Those Of our volunteers who desire to join
the Southern army, as II shall pass through
our borders had better organize at once
for the purpose, and keep their arms, ac-
cOutrements, uniforms, and ammunition, and
knapsacks in constant readiness"
The Richmond Wbig says: at is pro-
voked by the authorities at Washington.
They have acted from the beginning with
duplicity and persistent hostility to the
Southern States. They have attempted IN
der the guise Of friendship. TO consummate
an act Of war; and when foicd, they gave
notice Of an intended hostile act, which JUS
tilted any course for self preservation on
the other Side"
The Richmond Dispatch Gays "Tbe
time OF fOrbearance aud Cancellation has
passed. The hour Of just aud long delayed
vengeance has come. The 'irrepressible
conflict which has been forced upon the
peaceful bones aud The unofiending citizens
OF the South, will be met by people who
Will drench their native soil with The blood
OF their invaders, or perish, TO the last man.
