The deep rooted ard veteran character Of tho
southern conspiracy has been dLcovelcd in
South Carolina, by Mr.. RUSSELL, the special
Correspondent Of the London TINES, from the
avowals Of the planters with whom ho has as
sccatsd there. He writes as follows
There ia nothing In ell the dark caves Of hu-
man paS ion 60 cruel and deadly rs the hatred
he 5 nth CuroliDians profess for the Yankees.
That hatred has been sSeling Tor years till il
is the very life blood Of tho state. 1t has set
South Carolina to work steadily TO organize
her resources fer the struggle whics she iateHle

time. an sltsfed that there has been deep
rooted design, c0Hceired IN some n.ss minis
hTee years ago, and extended gradually, year
after year, TO others, 10 break dUdy FROM nc
Union on The re,y. fret opportunity. Ths North

TO whch for long years she has been bound by
burning chains, while monopolists and mann.

md as he has buntod down all his Indians, burnt
all his witeh.s, and psrseeutsd all his opponents
to the death, he invented Abolitonism ~ the
sole resource left TO him for the qualification
/ Of his fayorite passion. Next to this motive

sstly, triekily, msanly and shabbily. He hal
