MONDAY MORNING. DEC. 81, 1850.
Umfaithf..s Sentimels.

All hope of preserving the Union seems to
have been abandoned at Washington, and the
head of the Government and the members of
Congress seem to be casting about rather to
see what shall be done with the wreck than to
devise means for the safety of the ship. In
stead then of being faithful sentinels upon the
watch-tower they are traitors to their country
and to their immediate constituents. If they
had one spark ofthe patriotism that actuated
those who served their country at Kings Noun
tain or one particle of that virtue which illumed
the field of Yorktown peace could be restored
to the country in thirty days; but the great
difficulty is that the wrong men are in high
places, and instead of the affairs of our great
Government being in the hands of the great,
the virtuous and the good they are under the
control of demagogues, dolts and swindlers.
See the present condition of things at the
Federal Capitol-a President that attempts to
blow hot and cold at the same time--whose
whole course looks to policy instead of right,
and who evidently has neither the moral nerve
or the patriotism for the position he holds at
the present crisis in the affairs of our country
members of Congress instead of attempting to
allay the excitement which exists are using their
utmost exertions to increase it, while the heads
of Departments and their subordinates seem to
be engaged in general game to swindle and
impoverish the Government.
Under such circumstances what are the PEo-
PIE to do? Are they patiently to wait and
suffer until the country is ruined beyond the
possibility of recovery, or should they antici-
pate the revolution which now seems inevita-
BILE by marching upon the city of Washington
and ejeeting, by force, demagogues and knaves
from places which they have shown themselves
totally incapable Of filling? If the politicians
could be chok ed off the PEOPLE of the various
sections could settle all matters of dispute in
short time, but instead of suffering the people
to manage their own affairs the demagogues
have usurped all power, and they are using it
with vengeance This we suppose, however,
is one of the faults of our free system Of gov
ernment.
But something ought to be done, and some
thing must be done in less than sixty days, or
will have settled upon us. The question is
then, what is to be doneg IF we look to Con-
gress we have no hope; if VIC appeal to the
President in office we get nothing and if we
turn to the President elect lie gives us no con-
ISOLATION. What thens Well We leave it for
older and wiser heads 60 answer but it does
seem to us that nothing short of the most over
whelming and overpowering public demonstra-
tions on the part of the PEOPLE, themselves, will
arouse our rulers to a sense of the obligations
which rest upon them. Let these demonstra-
tons be made then and let them be made at

Here, men of the South, are the principles,
objects and purposes of the Republican party
in nutshell. The n Y. Tribune which speaks
by authority and which unquestionably fore
shadows the purposes of Mr.. Lincoln, says:
Union men of the South the day of COM
promises is over. Wewant to retain the Union,
but it must be as equals You have d right Gas
against us) to sustain Slavery we have right
to reject and condemn it. If you have right
to seek its diffusion, we have all equal right to
resist It, 1t those who wish slavery extended
are stronger than we, they will beat US if We
are the stronger we mean to beat them. If we
admit that we, standing in your shoes and See
ing through your eyes, would do as you do,
you should admit that you, standing on our
ground, would do as We do May the victory
enure to the Right"
Here it is in plain language, and the question
arises, can united South backed by the mil
lion and a half voters at the North, cast against
Lincoln, overawe and overpower the Black Re-
publicans, whose creed is here given, to
preserve the Union and secure to the people of
each and every State their rights under the
Constitution If not the sooner we know it
and separate the better, for the government
cannot endure with this {" irrepressible conflict v
going on.
Let united South save the Union if it can,
but if not let US present to the world shining
example Of herogc virtue and determined inde-
pendence. Though the Union, with govern
ment rightly administered promises much to
US and to posterity let it never be said that we
consent to its continuance upon principles that
tend to degrade US,
