CircumstHnces pisr, prrsenf, and prospective, 60
.far as ne are capable of penetrating the dark Tsta
of ihe future, cnu we discovcra single ray of hope,
if tht inte rference, this agitation this abolition, is
r"rmitted to continue 1 - I confess for ny own pert
I an see none, none at loart for the liarqinpss of
ihi South, and her equality in this coniederacy.
It any one can soe aught else in the picture if
his vision is c-ipablo of jercciving a brighter pic
ture in the landscape I would ccriainly thank
. I m for his optics. I know you have all (and who
i in the South has not?) given the subject much anx
ious attention. It has nttrneteT ihe deepest rellec
t:in end soliciuide. and I think it is nerlectlv clear
the reflecting mind, that the true principle for
1'ie gDvcrnment of the whole, was a strict construe
' ixn of the constitution. When first the Ml spirit
I' or. abolition reared its harrid form, attained a foot
i hole in our federal councils, th.t instrument was
; oar only shield ; ojvrather the rights resrTed to

Cut hows little was that regarded? it was trod-

fclaimed by tho leaders of the fanatical band s the
I. pnneipic of their action, nnd every impediment
' over-thrown between themselves, and -I heir victim.
That victim is tho Sou.h. the entire overthrow of
; -her tights, proerty, liberties, and . the extinction
I f on? or the ether, or both of) tho n ces. Is this not
! to l Can we shut out the truth from our minds,
J or. hid' it from our rvason ? f When in tho course
or all history has such a fanaticism, as now reigns
ut the north among all Lclasses, ever stopped in its

And now, gentlemen, after saying a few more

bles, African slavery,'! will relieve ypur patience.
If an intelligent traveller from some foreign
country were to come among us filled with bene
volence and intent on truth, and see the contented
and. happy negro laughirg and. singing, without a
care for the future if he see him well fed land
clothed, and when sick, kindly attended to by his
owner and - his physician : when lie is old -I'nol
ca sheered, 'but kept, and sheltered, and provided
for all the. days of his life would this stranger
not be struck with the utmost surprise, if he were

him from his thraldom at the nerll of the nenre

per.l ot the peace
and liberty of their own race and the desolation
of one of the fairest portions of the earth? And
if bis astonishment could possibly be increased,
what would be the extent of his amazement, if
informed, thatall this was done, or attempted by
those w ho had really no interest in. no connection.
no business with the matter, which was as for
eign from them as the condition of tho Hindoos;
.and with which they were positively forbidden to
interfere by the. fundamental law of the land !

But hatcvcr the Chinaman might say, howev

the good of the African; and; that 'God's ways

If there was any sin in first bringing thera here
andjselling thern ; we are not answerable for it.

send us this, with many other of their blessings,
and innumerable variety of their notions. They
brought them here, sold them, pocketed the price,,
and the d s.endants of many a millionare are now
enjoying the proceeds of the 'accursed trafic, as
they call it. ,
But whether it be a sin or a crime, or an evil,
Lis not now tho question. It U here, and while
hero cannot be changed, except at the peril oi our
lives, the certain calamity of the whole South,
and the inevitable destruction'of themselves, of us.

Providence will doubtless find some way for
their exit, as it did for their entrance. The por
tions of this continent, south and west of ns ! and
South, vith the Islands adjacent, are capable of
sustaining many millions yet unborn; and wheth
er in slavery or out of it, they are probably desti
ned to inhabit and cultivate them. . Nor is it J the
time to meet the question of the unity or identy
' of origin. Or whether they are equal to the white
raco tn physical and intellectual-organization.
For were they unquestionably and evidently equal
in every respect, il would not alter the 'case,' and
we would be still bound by every regard for Jour
mutual welfare to maintain the relation as it exists.
With every respect however, for those j who
hold the contrary opinion, I hope I may be per
mitted to express my entire disbelief in their men
tal rquahty at least, and that no means or applian
ce, will enable them to reach the height of Anglo
Saxon. Law, liberty, ' literature and civilization
io the last syllable of recorded time So far as I
have zlanced at them it is the inherent instinct of
their souls to look to a superior, to a master, and
we must be that, or incur the execrations of our
offspring, forfeit all claim to tho honor, or the, in
heritance of our oncestors consign Qur names to
infamy, ffnd their graves to desecration. ,j 1 1

It woujd not be Union of our fathers. It j would

it equality of tho members would be utterly
and irrevocably overthrown. It is the paramount
question, for another reason that is, that ifthe ul
timatum recommended by the Nashville Conven
tion tho Missouri lino to the Pacificwere adop

State of California in too. and the territories ialso;
and, consequently would involve the necessity of
an entire re-adjustment of the whole matter---and
of remanding the State back to her territorial con
dition. And how would the North bo brought or

test question, for even 'if this Missouri line were
adopted, joined with Mason's As Dixop's and drawn
as deep.as the pit of Plato, It wouldnot settle the
question; unless-indeed, it had the effect of exclu
ding forever from the Federal Government and

I think it is becoming more and more manifest,
that there is , something inconipatible and irrer-

Many a banner would bo torn j!

' It is asserted by Allison, and other English
writers, that tho 'blue-eyed nations of the North
cherish a kind of instinctive propensiiy to invade
the regions of the 'sunny South' that they envy
the inhabitants of . that genial clime, and covet
their riches their blessings, and: their abundance.
And he illustrates his position by reference, in
particular, to the inundation of the Roman empire,
by the Goths and Vandals of Northern Efurope,
and the longing eye which the Autocrat of Russia
and his people now cast over the Southern portions
of Euiope and of Asia. - j : i; f ; 5
The invasion was j successful in the former in
stance, and the . Writer concludes it jivill be so in
the latter, and would seemjto infer therefore, that
it will be so always and c-very where. 1 The North
have heretofore overrun the South and apprbpria-
ted its treasures ana will continue to tio so. I do
not know that this can be assumed, as a fixed
fact in human history, or in hunian destiny. But
if so, could it not be very plainly shewn that it
was the weakness and efleminacy of the Southern
nations, that invited the aggression and rendered
it successful, and ns like causes produce like cf.
fects, that the same effeminacy wilt continue to
invite the same aggression? And' might lit not
also, at the present juncture, teach us all a. most
important lesson: that is, to 'avoid the life that
leads to such a consummation j It should

contended luat the issue'of absconded slaves born
in those portions of the Union into which they have
fled, are not to be classed with their parents as fu-
gitivesfrom labor. This is an attempt to withdrawr
the question'of recovery of runaway slaves from its
true character as one of property, and place it in a
false category as one of personal right. - I he law
of property inHhe South with regard to slaves must
determine this question. The law makes the issue
of slaves by the mother's side the property of the
owner of the parent. The states of the slave Ji where
oetd as properly, must regulate the construction ot
annct tocarry out a provision of the Constrtutidn
intended to protect the rightsof property in slavesi
It slavery is an institution governed by local law,
all the incidents and consequences wh'ich attach
to it by that law come of force I bv necessary im
plication. v Whatever is the law where slaves are
held with regard to the issue must form the rule
of interpretation for a statue of Congress, designed
to secure the ow ner in his righ'js, precisely as such
a rule would govern the courts of the State from
which the slave had fled. It Will not do, therefore,
to shield the offspring of the female slave from the
effects of the late act of CongresV for reclaiming
fugitive slaves, under the plea that such oflVpring
were born in a non-slaveholding State. Evening

On Thursday last, we saw a citizen of Fayette
ville, just returned from Boston, after an unsuc
cessful demand tor his slaves, j He found that it
was useless to attempt to execute the law. That
part ofj tho populatiun not active in v resisting the
law, were perfectly jxuive and although he
thinks that a large -majority of the people were
in favor of executing the law they yet take no
steps to accomplish it. We think, however, he is
mistaken. If a "maioritv were icillins to execute
Ht,there would soon be found a 'icav to do it." He
was very politely told that he was not safe in the

very anxieus about his safety.. The ' officers of

that they' could not execute the law. .
The gentleman states that he believes that even
if tho ''people of -Massachusetts should not resist
the troops, they will take an indirect way of-re-fusing
to -"execute it by running the fugitives off to
Canada. He has no doubt that they are deter

It is true, it says that some changes have been

have been ordered to"" the North, some to Texas;

Submission failure in Union.
i . . r-
in the southern Kights meeting, published in an
other column, seized the occasion, before the paj
triots had all dispersed, to make a demonstration!
favorable to the 1 waning fortunes of that old partyj
After the; Southern! Rights meeting bad adjour-i
ned, and the President had, left; his seat. S. H.1
Walkup, Esq., an amiable gentleman, of plausible
address,: and calculated for the successful accom
plishment of the object h undertook; ascended to
ihYityiihlrtinfr upon, to
submit them to a discussion he hurriedly declared
that he was. about to submit them to . the vote of
the by-standers we ; pay by-standers, for; there:
was no meeting organized. A few persons, doubt-'
less federalists, responded in the affirmative ; but
there being iio organiied meeting, no negative was
given; for no republican would participate in such
a-mode of proceeding
After this, Mr. Walkup moved carryihsr the
question in 'the same manner, thai all editors friend
ly to 'the cause1 publish tho resolutions. If h
meant ihe Scavsc of the Sottpi, jve as a friend to
such a eaws-f,,puUishUhei proceedings, to; let -,the
public see a political cu riosity ; but if he meant the

on the adherents of federalism eVory where.
SUBMISSION RESOLUTIONS. 1
"Resolved, That we arc for; the Union, as it is:
'and that we look upon Disunion as one of the
'greatest political evils.

Now in the first resolution, we have an equivo
cal declaration, that the federalists are in favor of
the admission of California', with her anti-slavery
. . ..I I" . i I m .
constituion, and the dismemberment ot texas tor
the gratification of the abolitionists; for those are
now embraced'in -the fUnion, 'as it is.' But, in
the second resolution, those iniquitous measures
are, in themselves,- fully approved. No regret is
expressed at the wrongs inflicted upon the South;
but her present degraded condition, if she- submits
seems to be a matter of congratulation among the
federalists I is an invitation to1 the North to per-
severe in.ner nosiue aggressions; inese leaerai-
anti-slavery agitators;; for . the;! measures which
they say they will so 'cheerfully 'abide ' by: are

To
say 'nothing of the admission ofjjCalifornia, under
Executive dictation, that t.heGatphin adininistrar
tion '-might avoid the responsibility of either sigri
ingr vetoing the Wilmot Proviso, these federal
ists see no wrong to jhe South jjm dismembering
Texas before her consent was given, and the face
of the protest of hernafriotic governor!
If tbe territory belongs to Texas,it was ariolation
of the federal compact to wrest it'from, her, without
her consent i and if it did not belong to her, it
was a high handed outrage to rob the other States
of ten millions of dollars and give it to her ; vet
these are the measures of w hich .the federalists
approve, and which they say they will 'cheerfully
abide by. -' j : - : :; .
What next ? What are we to
infer from the
submissive spirit 1 manifested byj
ihe federalists ?
States shall have
r iiy, wnen jue nuinoruy oi iiiej
been entirely abrogated and the
tT.'l... 1. . Ii .t -L. " .1 r
gtneral goverc-
ment shall become a great central despotism, sla
very abolished, thewholeSouthj a ruined waste;
and the whites flying from their homes to-escape
being reduced to an equality with the degraded
negro race, than we suppose veshan,havo these
same submissive fedeiafists singuig'hosannahs to
Cpngress rit?d! again passing resiojations promising
cheerfully to. abide by' some othier 'great patriotic
compromise
The last resolution implies that the patriots of
the South are ultra fanatics, because they insist 1
upon their rights; and that they,, the federalists,.!
will oppose them under all circumstances. Iet nil
true Southern men, whether they have hitherto
been whigs or democrats, take jjice'd in time, und
repudiate federalism, belbre it is too late.
If that school of politicians should ever be suc
cessful in another race yhich will give them , a :
permanent ascendency, all ho'po ! for the. South, in!
any other fay than through scenes of blood too
horrible tq contemplate, will be at an end. : '
Mr. Soule The Salad in of the Sou.Tii.r- i
