We extract the following paragraph from the
lite annual message of Gov. Gist, Of South
Carolina:


"The tone of the Northern press has greatly
changed since the unanimous and determined
action of South Carolina. Heretofore, it was
supposed by our enemies that we were divided
and distracted at home, and that, in conse.
quence of our divisions, the scenes of 1851
would be reenacted, and the State would final
ly acquiesce in Black Republican rule, or, at
best, that something less than secession would
be adopted, and our energies exhausted in
fruitless expedients and unavailing threats.
Now that the unwelcome conviction forces it
self upon them, that we have counted the cost,
and find nothing so intolerable as voluntary
slavery, and that we are not to be deferred
from the assertion and maintenance of our
the unmesning and senseless display of Wide.
Awake professions, formidable only to the
capitalists and conservatives of their own sec.
ton, they begin to change their tone, and appeal
TO Us, rather as supplidnts than as conquerors,
TO sape Uaion from Vhich they hare reaped a
rich harvest of profit and honor, and the South
has only knoton by its eractions."


Can it be possible that Gov. Gist is laboring
under the delusion that the material prosperity
of the Northern States Is wholly dependent up
on the continuance Of South Carolina in the
Union2 Does he not know, that if every foo,
of her territory should be sunk by an earth
quake tomorrow, it would scarcely have any
appreciable effect upon the material welfare o
any Northern State? Can he not conceive o
any motive for deprecating dissolution of th'
Union, than a mercenary oneH And does hi
suppose that the Northern people will be in
duced TO make the concessions demanded o
them, by being told that any manifestation o
solicitude for the continuance of the Uniol
places them in the light of suPpliants for


favor?

"A Union Of force and compassion is no
Union at all, and should be dissolved, and the
sooner the better"


The above sentence is quoted from a strong
Union article, in the Knorrille Wing. We
have seen the same sentiment, expressed In
substantially the same words, in numerous
anti.secession journals. And yet, how any one
who does not admit the right Of peaceable Sc
cession can entertain such q sentiment, is to
US profound mystery. We hold precisely the
converse Of this proposition to be true, and say,
that a Union in which rebellion and treason
cannot be put down by compulsion and force,
is no Union at all. 1t is an abuse Of language
to dignity with the name Of Government Con.
federacy of States in viii there is no power
to compel obedience to its laws and authority.
If State may nullfy all Federal laws and au.
thority within her jurisdiction at pleasure, and
give her citizens full license to violate and re-
sst such laws and such authority, without sub.
ecting themselves to any compulsion or force
on the part Of the Federal Government, such
State is not connected with the Union by any
bond whatever. A Government with no power
to enforce its laws, is simply no Government.
And if it has power in theory, but is never to
exercise that power in practice, it amounts to
the same thing as if it had no such power.


In short, to take the ground that treason and
rebellion are never to be opposed by force on
the part Of the Federal Government, when COM
mitted under the authority Of a State, is simply
to admit the right of peaceable secession, to its
fullest extent.


We do not deny that revolution, in par.
ticulsr section of the Confederacy, may be car.
ried to such point that it would be unwise
and inexpedient to attempt to put it down by
force. In such case, dissolution Of the Union
would have to be submitted to as a necessity.
But to admit, at the outset, that no force is to
be used to compel obedience to the Federal
authority in any State which may see fit to re.
pudiate it, is simply to declare, in advance that
every attempted revolution shall be success.

Up, again for the conflict our banner fling out,
And rally around it with song and with shout!
Stout ofheart firm Of hand should the gallant boys be
Who bear to the battle the Flag of the Free
Like our fathers, when Liberty called to the strife,
They should pledge to her fortune, honor, and
And follow wherever she beckons them on,
Till Freedom exults in victory won


Then fling out the banner, the old starry banner


The battle-worn banner that beckons US on
They come from the fillside they from the glen
From the streets thronged with traffic and surging


with men;


From loom and from ledger, from worship and farm,
The fearless of heart, and the mighty Of arm,
As the mountain born torrents exulting leap,
When their ice fetters melt to the breast of the deep
As the winds of the prairie, the waves of the sea,
They are coming-are coming-the Sons Of the Free


Then fling out the banner, the old starry banner,


The war tattered banner the flag of the Free
Our Leader is one who, with conquerless will,
Has climbd from the base to the brow Of the hill;
Undaunted in peril, unswerving in strife,
He has fought good fight in the Battle of Life;
And we trust him who, come woe or come veal
Is as firm as the rock, and as true as the steel,
Right loyal and brave, with stain on his crest,
Then hurrah boys for honest Old Abe ofthe West!'


And fling out your banner, the old starry banner,


The signal OF triumph for I" Abe Of the West"
The West whose broad acres from lakeshore to sea,
Now wait for the harvest and homes of the free
Shall the dark tide Of Slavery roll DER the sod,
That Freedom makes bloom like the garden OF God?
The bread Of children be torn from their mouth,
To feed to fierce dragon that prays on the South?
No, never the trust which our Washington laid
On US, for the Future, shall ne'er be betrayed!


Then fling out the banner, the old starry banner,


And On to the conflict with hearts undismayed!

VINE GROWING IN TRTYTTY.-In former times
II was insisted by persons of intelligence that the
soil and climate of this county, or in fact any OF
the northern ones in the State, was not adapted
to grape growing. The winters, they said, were
too cold, and the soil too dry and unproductive.
The notion has exploded. Within two years sew
eral persons have commenced grape culture to
considerable extent and in each instance have
been successful Two years ago Mr.. X. &. Dun
gcy, the most extensive and experienced gardener
of the place, planted several hundred vines, from
which have been taken, within the past month,
over two thousand pounds of most delicious fruit
much better than that brought from the lower
counties, for the reason that grapes raised here
may be picked fresh from the vines, aud do not
require to be taken off before they ripen to faci
itate transportation.


The idea that the winter climate Of this section
is too severe for the successful culture of the
vine, is great mistake. Every one predicted a
failure of the crop after the severe frost of May
18th, last. The vines were in blossom at the
time, but not injured, and we venture TO say that
late fross as those of last spring do not occur
once in five years.


The erroneous impressions above stated should
be done away with. Locate q vineyard procure
q sufficiency Of water for irrigation, and devote
the same attention which is now paid to other
branches of frnit culture, and the result Will be
quite as gratifying aud remunerative.

DIsUNToN.-A wall of disunion. louder and
more bitter than ever before heard in this conn

dissolution of this glorious republic is threat
ened in case certain measures are carried out !;
and unless certain propositions are acceded to,
we are told that this union cannot exist The
picture looks gloomy to every man who has a
high national ambition to crafty, who regards
his country-the prepetuty OF its inslitutions-o of
greater moment than his mere personal aggran-
dzement But the cry of disunon." it is
pleasurabe to know, comes not from the people ;
1t emanates from those who care nothing about
the welfare or permanency of the union, from
ambitious politicians both at the north and the
south, who cherish more highly the attainment
of their selfish ends than the beauties of a free
government. Such men were never designed by
a Creator to enjoy the liberties of government
like ours, and it is to an unfortunate freak of
nature that they must credit the fact of having
been born in republic Mountain Messenger.

NEARLY ExPLoDED.-The prospect Of Lincoln 8
election is very favorable, just now, and in ex-
pectancy of such result some Southern people
are having great deal to say about "d "disunion," i"
"Soutbern c0ntedcraey," etc. 1t is very foolish
talk. We remember that similar threats were
made in Congress, few months since, in the
event of the election OF a Republican speaker
Republican was chosen and the experiment was
forgotten.


For the life Of us can't see why the people
of the Southern States should anticipate the ne
cessty of dissolution There has been no act
yet to call for it, and until there is we can't see
the necessity Of getting up such hubbub. If
Lincoln is elected, who believes he will allow any
Interference with slavery where it now exists
No one, il the truth was known. T0 a candid
observer of things it would seem that the Slave
States fear they will not be interfered with. In
proof of this read the late Pony news published
in another place. Virginia and South Carolina
, seem particularly sore headed. They bluster
hastily and will have leisure to repent.


This talked. of secession would be difficult
Undertaking. The Bell and Everett party preach
adherence to the Union they will not aid such
movement Douglas has pledged that bis party
will aid Lincoln in executing the laws. The
Brecknridge party cannot carry out such a
movement if it woud and the whole business
would be left with the Southern wing OF that
party to perform. 1t will b. disagpepable task,
and it is hoped that better Judgment will govern
their thoughts and actions. This dsunion threat
in case of Lincoln's election has got 10 be very
familiar one, lately, and as it seems to be "a fore
gone conclusion that he will be elected, Southern
States must either begin to prepare, or acknowl-
edge that they have been TOO hasty. We shall
