Indifferent themselves to princivle-s thev
appeared to think that all other men are equally so.
When, therefore, tiiey assembled in Convention in
Charleston, they undertook to coccr vp the difficul
ty which they could neither remove nor destrov
and to accomplish by ambiguity, fraud and indirec
tion, what was too strong for them openly to grap
ple with. They accordingly offered a platform
which they knew was Janus-faced and deceptive
and must necessarily operate as a swindle.
CONTEMPT TOll THE SOl'TIT.
I make no comment upon the insult and contempt
to the South which this purpose implied a con
tempt for our intelligence, which could not perceive.
the swindle ; a contempt for our political morality,
which would gicc up our principles for the success
of a party or the spoils of office; and the insult to
our manhood, which could be driven from its pro
priety, by fear of consequences and the power of
numbers. Rut, by whatever motives prompted, the
attempt to impose upon the South such a platform.
failed as every intelligent man believed it would
fail, who had not lost faith in the South that she
still had sp:rit enough to assert her rights ; and
who did not believe, with th- contemptuous North,
that '"she could n t be lick(d out of the Union."
The South had been cheated once already in that
plaiform, and by the ambitious Expounder of it
... i . i i i .i . i . i i .. . J
nuu sue uau openiy ui ciarcu ner intention not a "a in
to bo cheated. She was insulted, by not being be-
neitu, uuiii im ucr Khsuciu;es in tne Aortliern win"
of the Democratic party (at heart Freesoiler.,) as
well as by some of her own sons.nurtured upon her
bosom, but who, alas ! had learned, ulso, to dispa
rage her !

her wisdom, and never doubting her courage, be
lievedihat, iii her own way, an i in her own good
time, she would lay asido her o. be irance, and plant
herself resolutely upon her rights.
Could sona, then, like these, suppose that she
would go into a National Convention of Democrats,
and, for any cause, and under any temptations, com
prom.xe her principles or surrender her heritage of
right.-.? I tell you, nay, fellow citizens f They
never would indulge a thought so dishonoring to her,
as to suppose that, if principles were to be surren
dered to unite the Democratic party, the surrender
would be on her part !
Rut if they LP .--u e that the South wDuld stand
firm, they were :dso persuaded that no concession
would come from the Northern wing of the party
arrogant as thev are from self-conscious power, and
fet.b'ntr. na thev do that thev represent the maiori-

AND EHJTV OF THE SOUTH, I XPEli THK CIKCUMSTAN
CF.S. Here, now, we perceive in the bosom of the Na
tional Democratic Convention ttco parties, with
principles radically opposed and irreconcilable, and
both resolute in maintaining their ground. How,
then, could union and concei t oi action be expected
from such jarring elements ? I tell you, sir, they
were not expected : and the breair.ig up of that
Convention, and its failure to nomii.lt. a common
candidate for the party, are precisely such results

meet in a then, of that Convention, and its nroeeed-
. t
i'"Ss fdterwarilS, were naiuicu oy eery earnest
f. tend of the South with intense anxiety, looking
for the rupture.
And now I ask. can any different result be expec
ted for the future ? There is nothing to justify the
expectation I will not say the hope. The causes
which kd to that rupture, so far from being tempo
rary, are permanent, and increasing, diy by cay,
in number and strength. No union, then, on prin
ciples, may ever again be looked for in any Demo
cratic party.
If, then, "the Democratic party (the onhy organiza
tion which may be called national, and is not pure-
ly f wntionsl.) may be considere 1 as b. oleen up, and
the Government is to fall into sectional and hostile
hands, I ask 1st, what interest has the Soiuh in
the Democratic party any longer; and, 2d, what is
the position which she should take for herself in
this aspect of affairs ? If her rights in the Union
are not fully secured to her, ii it compatible with
her dignity to hang on to a party as a sort of de
pendent "mike-weight," swelling its ranks, and put
ting it into power, and then receive from it, (iu the
persons of a few of her needy otit'cc-scelcrs) a few
worthless crumbs as her share of the spoils ? Can
it be to her interest to continue to be a mere appen
dage to a Government whose treasury she supplies
annually with more than furt.y millions of revenue,
to receive back, in return, only twenty millions in
disbursements ? Can it be to her interest to belong
to a nation, in which she is out-numbered and out
voted by those who arc her enemies in which her
'ether men vdio
-n'ti'on to destroy
. t. ;-
dearest rights are at the mercy of
have openly announced their intention
them, p.nd who now'begin to contemn us in their
hearts because of our pvsillanimiiy in not defend
ing ourselves ? Every fetling of dignity and self
respect, every motive of self-preservation, forbid it.
And may God deliver us from the apathy which
will end in such ruin and degradation !
WHAT IS THE INTEREST AND DUTV OF THE SOCTH, IS

or to perpetuate to his posterity? And f.rthe social
and political intercourse between the people -f these
two sections; look at the treatment of Southern men
reclaiming their property at the North ; and the well
founded su.-picions, which follow northern men,
wherever they go in the South, and the punishment
which they often receive whilst practicing among us
the fanatical principles which they bring with them
from home. Contemplate the scenes in the halls of
Congres insult and vituperations; the u!g; r
threats of conscious power on the one side, and
scorn and defiance on the other; almost cery ques
tion of legislation decided by a strictly sect onal
vote. Could it be worse if the representatives of
France and England, or of Russia aad Austria, in
their worst days, were forced together into one hall,
to legislate together for the interest of each king
dom the representatives of one. nation having the
decided preponderance in making la-vs lor the oth
er ? Could it be worse, if animals of ho tile natures
were forced together, into one cage, to fight with
each other, over their food ?
And is this a connection (for I cannot call it a
union) such as any man of sense and coin age would
seriously contend for, as desirable, for the two sec
tions to live under ? I answer, fr uij'Self, that it
is not desirable ; and I give it as my opinion, th it
' it the question was put, fairly and squarely, be
fore the people of the whole South with i.il tho
disastrous and humiliating consequent s of this un
natural connection between tile two sei-tions lairlv

THE CAUSES OF NoN-ACTlOJJ. IN THE SofTII.

the chief of which are : 1st, that the conditions are
not fulfilled, in having the evils of this conneciion.
and its consequences, fairly presented to them ".1,
th.it, from the insidious nature of many oft e.-e evils
that of Federal taxation, for examnle they are
alfectrd in a manner, indirect and unseen : 3.1. from
the nitural apathy belonging to seme men. especi
ally among those who. (like the agricultural popula
tion of the South), live much alone, and apart iivm
each other; and wh'ch encourages a sort of Alleaw
ber expect ition in their troubles that "something
will turn up" to bring them relief; and lastly (but
most potent of all) the delusive hopes which are held
out to them, by those who assume to be their poli
tical leaders," that if they will make such a man
President, or keep such a party iu power, the people
need ive themselves no further concern, since the
President and the parly will put things straight for
them. This is commonly the advice of those "gre it
men" (so exiled) w ho, being actualh' in the c-i j .y
ment, or in hopeful expectation of the honors "and
offic.-s of tho party ,or tho President, are apt to ente;

d nt c in do
e need not, ititn suppose that the.-e
"g'eit men are wiliully traitors to the peoph, al
though their advice is followed by all the fatal con
sequences of selfi-h treachery. For say, Mr. Chai;--mm,
what can a President or n part do for the
Sicuriry of the South, even if we had their entire
sympathy and fullest inclination to take sides with
us, when the Northeast, and North and Northwest
of these United States are hoplesslv ibulit.io;,ize.:t,
and are now working under a "higher law" consti
tution of their own V What can a President do. al
beit personally, and politically, entirely acceptable
to us; in a government, the most powerlnl depart
ment of which, (the legislative), is thoroughly sec
tionalized and with the party even, ot which he is
the Representative Chief, taking pari again-Cus with
our sectional foes !
How unwise, then (for I will not be so irrever. n
as to say how foolish and absurd), is it, for the South
to be placing her depeiidcnoe upon Presidents "
and " parties," when she can work out her own de
liverance from injustice and wrong by the strength
of her own right arm, directed by her own biave
heart !
Assent to these conclusions would, I think, be
the general sentiment of the unbiassed and instruct
ed mind of the whole South; and this sentiment
would soon ripen into manly and resolute ACTION,
were it not for the fatal counsels to procrastination
from thei-- political advisers, aided by the womanly
tears of ' Disunion," ana tne cronKings oi political
hacks about " Revolution. i'

Rut. Mr. Chairman, not all these croakings, nor
lamb-like bhatings, nor counscllings, can prevent it!

vulgar men, who, like the scum, will rise upon the
