per or temporlze With the DlaeKeSt treason
Nothing but promptest and completest
submission will save South Carolina from
loss of property and sacrifice of life, be-
fore which all dispensatiOns of Justice in
the war thus far will shrink into insig-
nifcance.
But the worst misery that will befall
South Carolina will be her humiliation of
spirit. Never was there community on
the face of the earth that made such pre-
tensions to invincibiity; never one 50
habitually arrogant and domlneerlng.
Her children have been brought up to the
notion of their superiority of blood and
condition. and have learned to cherish no
other feeling than that of sovereign con-
tempt for the" mudsills" and greasy
mechanics" of the North. They call
themselves the chivalry, and for a whole
generation have been practicing the airs
and the tones of the tragic tyrant that
stalks his brief hour on the stage Such
vaporing and bravado, such insult and
contumely, such superciliousness and
scornfulness as have been put forth by
those palmetto spirits, have never been ex-
ceeded among any people, either civilized
or borbarous.
There is one Northern state for which
they have effected peculiar disdain, and
which they have taken peculiar pains to
vituperate and apprievc-thc glorious old
Bay State-whose resplendent worth they
are no more capable of approaching than
the dogs that bay at the moon. Thirty two
years ago they attempted to deal out their
unmeasured scorn of Massachusetts
through the lips of their Senator, Hayne,
who was the selected instrument to emit
that long prepared exterminating diatribe'
which, when it came, drew forth from the
Senator of Massachusetts the response
whose echoes have not yet done ringing in
the ears of men. Seventeen years ago
they expelled from their limits, with the
grossest indignity, Judge Hoar, whose err
rand, in the name of Massachusetts, was
to secure the rights of citizens of Massa-
chusetts. by legitimate appeal to the
Federal Court Eight years ago, not sat-
isfed with what abusive language against
the State at large had accomplished, or to
the abusive treatment of her deputy sent
for most just purpose, they, through two
Of their representatives in Congress, made
murderors assault upon Senator of
Massachusetts, in his seat on the floor of
the Senate-an act the audacity of which
astonished the civilized world-and then
gloried in the outrage, Massachusetts in
deed had good cause to lay to heart the
treatment she in former days has received
from tie foremost rebel State; and there
is dramatic justice in the fact that Mass
achusetts men were the foremost to land
upon her traitorous shores with cleaning
arms to force her into humble submission
to the flag she had betrayed and defed.
Never since history begun did arrogance
receive more humiliation than is in store
for South Carolina, or treason more con-
dign punishment. Her fate will do M ore
to propitate the North toward the remain
ing rebel states, and induce spirit of full
forgiveness, than, any possible extent of
penalty elsewhere. 1t will be felt that
the great end has been gained when the
prime mover of this rebellion has received
its just due. We believe that it would do
more than all else to prepare not only the
North for reconciliation, but even the
South itself. Even her accomplices have
no real sympathy with her. Georgia dis
likes, Virginia hates, North Carolina de-
tests her. There is no danger that any
severity dealt out to South Carolina will
exasperate the other states It will rath-
er placate them. She has been the au-
thor of all their woes and, if there were
no other prOmptings, their human nature
would make them wish to see her suffer
for this alone. There will be no way of
bringing South Carolina to her duty under
the Constitution except by the sternest
but we need not lament this
for the more sternly she is treated, the
