“How she is going to better lierself we
do not exactly understand: for although
she may get rid of some of the evils anti
tho ills of the present state, she will “fly
to those she knows not of.’’ There is
something .-striking in the fact that her ci
tizens are almost unanimous in the deter
mination to get out of the Union. As
Durgoyne said ou his return to England
from his uii."ucceissful attempt to comjuer
America—“When we see a whole commu

own measi res and policy toward them, and
ask our own heart.s and eoiiscienees if wo

them.” “A people,” he added, “so unitetl
as are the colonies, cannot be conquered.
Providence will ever shicM them, and all
the armies and navies of the worlil cannot
sulHlue such a rebellion.”
“And we of the North mav well turn our

Yet the News, which clearly identifies it
self with the cause of South Carolina, by
defending it, and by abusing the Union pa-

Upon the whole. Secession is a bad rem
