Southern PriYateers.

The Black Republicans are sorely exercised
over the threat that, in the event of war, the
South will employ priyateers against the
Commerce of its enemy. OF course it will
When did New England give up that right
against Old England? In the Revolution,
and in the late war. New England pr-

most efficient service. Ii is fresh in every

encc of European Powers few years ago
called upon AmericaGo give up privateering,
America said fatty NO, and Mr.. MARCY and
Gen CAss both established that right so con-

British Government that the latter made no
farther attempt to controvert the principle -

beginning by the United States as a legitimate

war; but we shall have privateers all the
same. If they attempt TO hang them pi-

at, they will be hung themselves in return.
