PERHAPS well enough TO inquire, what Wsfo 'no
caves of tits Rebellion. l cannot DO pei
one of the leading spiriis, Mr.. np'nt.,
of South Carolina who addressed n communication
at great length, snd as he intended, with consl,n-
mate ability repete 18th all tho arguments oi Tue
school to which he belonged, conld bring 10 pear
upon the principles upon which their Government
WA To be based as contrasted with the Government
Of tho United States He said there WAS no man
who deserved the name of statesman IN the noutn,
who would preteud that Secession was caused by any
aggression Of the North upon the rights OF the people
OF the South. He said it was still less the result o.,
any act of oppre. sion on re part OF ne tnited
Sfstes Government. What then was the reason !
Ue sad IL WIS because oil the difference
in the organization Of society North and SCUM
lIt was because IN the non-slavehoiin
States, from tho fact that every man was a
freemau, you were necessarily Democratic; every
man being a freeman IL resulted that the labor
ip9 class in the non-slaveholdilg States had the
power iu the Government and it required but little
argument 20 prove hat when that WAS the CAGE, the
q government was in the heels Of society, because
labor was always in excess OF the direction OF tor
that ia TO say, there were more lsboIng men, and
there would continue 10 be- than there were Deu
who by means Of their capital directed labor. He
said when Government was n the hands Of those
who direct labor alone, was IN the bead of society,
where IL properly belonged. And now, said he,
having cut loose from tie North have
we eradicated the evil Have We succeed
ed ia gaining our object Not at ell
He was explaining IN this letter that the GoverE-
ment at Montgomery, Ala, bad failed in meeting
the objects Of the revolution, because j. bad not pro-
vided for reope0ng the African Siaye.trade. Said
be il will involve the necessity OF another rey0a-
ton. Here is the evil; here arc the laboring men,
and they in the majority, too, who WELD the
rover IN the Government. They vote at tie ballot
box aud from the premises TINT have laid down
you viii perceive that Slavery and Democracy are
incompatible. Loud cheering. lie paid "a high
compliment ~ the great Now York statesman who
Is now the Secretary Of State Of the Unifed
States Government, lcbeeIsl and sai tLat that
great statesman, for he gave him credit
Tor being great, never uttered greater truth than
when be said there was an rrepIessible conflict be-
tween the two fyfems OF society. Great applause.
And said he, IN this additional, this second rovo.G-
IOn, that VIII lie forced upon u- although n may

Ians Of Democracy, and 10 use the least plain aud

tociacy. Well, ctizenf, If thot was the senti
ment of solitary man in the South, If il bad not
been addressed by one Of the leading siiriif
engaged IN Rebellion, to another, the trusted
agent of the State IT Loui,iana tlen

there might he but little significance In It. II it had

If it had been condemned by the public voice-and
when / ray the public voice, mean that OF those
who WELD the power OF the South, whose voice

when you bear in mind that that letter was repro
duced in the eadiog press of the South, spoken OF in
terms Of communication, and no man has ~ lhs day
upified his voice against any one Of the posi-
tiJns there assumed, IL you could, IA / have
done, hear in the hotels, and in the streets,
and in rarors, echoes of that sentiment from me u
who, two years ago, were regarded az LOYAL saying,
Republication is failure. We fstOnished that
