The Rauner Of Freedom floats proudly on high,
And among its bright folds Palmetto is seen,
ThsWiritof Moultrie, and Lees battle-cry,
Is the impulse and watch-word of millions

Nov forth to that Standard our sons urge their

Our rights to defend, and our wrongs to re-

They dehantly challenge the hosts in array,
Who brave, gen'rous people would dare to

In patience we've borne, and in love have for

Injustice, and insult, and wrongs long en-.

Now, we swear, by the grace of our Father in
Heaven
,Wsu pause not nor cease, till our peace is
q secured
No paltry concession shall check our career,
As we march in the footprints our fathers

Nor shall foe dare menace, or an armed man ap-

On our blood-bought domain till We sleep

From the graves of our dead who in battles

To secure to their children the right to be

Interesting Letter to Miliard Fillmore
from South Carolina,

Ex President Fillmore has permitted the
publication, in Buffalo paper, of tie fol-
lowing remarkable letter writer to him from
South Carolina. 1t reads more like the ray
ing of savage, than the reasoning of a
civilized being;
1T is thought by many at the North that
we at the South are standing over maga-
zine Of stupendous magnitude, that only wants
the application of match to spread ruin,
disaster and death through the whole length
and breadth of the Confederacy. Northern
papers of wide spread popularity, that may
be supposed to reflect pubic sentiment, to
some extent at least. are suggesting in unmis-
taxable terms, the propriety-ot applying the
match Men of tile North, beware! You
who would spare the shedding of oceans of
blood, stay your ruthless hands, hold in check
your envenomed tongues, restrain your sa-
tanic press. For whenever the attempt is
made to carry out that fendish suggestion -
suggestion worthy the lowest the meanest
the most sneaking, and at the same time,
bloodthirsty demon that ever butfeted the
| pillows of HELM the manner indicated, the
combustible materials of which that magazine
is composed will be so saturated with blood
that all the fires of hell itself could not ignite
them. In other words, whenever the slaves
in the border slave States are melted to es-
cape from their owners by hundreds and
thousands for the purpose of having Sharp's
rifles and Colts revolvers placed in their
hands and marched back to butcher white
men, women and children; whenever the
slaves in the Gulf States are melted to servile
instructions, and the prospect bids fair for
their being converted into demons incarnate,
then the slave owners in the South will be
found ready to sacrifice every slave from
whom danger may be apprehended, even
though it involve the destruction by con-
certed and sinlultapeops movement, of every
male slave over .the age Of fifteen years. or
even younger than that, if the necessities of
the case may seem to require it; and wiling
hands will certainly be found ready to exc
cute the bloody deed. Before southern men
will suffer themselves, their wives and little
ones to be butchered, and their daughters
worse than butchered 10y fends in human
form, before they will suffer to any consider
able extent the horrors of seryi!e insurrec-
tion, the gulf streams will be crimson with
the gore, and every Southern river choted
with the fostering carcases of slaves. Men of
the North you hold in your hands the lives
of balf a million of slaves for as sure as there
is God in heaven, if this war continues and
they, through your instrumentaliry, become
unmalageable the last one of them will
perish. Attempt if you dare, to convert Il
portion of our population into vipers, and be-
fore they get ready to strike their envenomed
fangs into our vitals, their heads will be
crushed beneath our heels. Never will they
be permitted to become Instruments in your
hands for our attempted sutjugaton."
