I, for ouv am diaposed to Ireal with her in this bill as if she had a good title. She ia uot one of out enemies. She is a meinler of this Union; she forms, in com mon with the twenty-nine other States of this Union, that country to which I be long.

But this 1 do aay, that the probability that ihi ques lion of title aud osesMin is not settled, and may be made instrumental in involv ing the country in civil war, is with me a high and overpowering motive for settling it. In lint respect I have more courage than my (rend from Ohio.' I have so "much courage in that particular, that f am will tug to incur the charge ofhaving acted under intimidation.

Nearly ihe whole population go much: further 1 might almost say infi nitely further. They contend that a sin gle Sute may, whenever she chooses to do so. put an end lo the union, concord. and happiness of twenty millions of peo ple, whether ihey have flggiessions to complain of or not. Phis is undeniably a new phase or the disunion doctrine which the exciting circumstances of the present limes have served to developc and which , inflamed : senibililiesv, and weak heads ran alone account for. Mr. Barn well Rheit, well known here at one time as a self tfufliciont, hul : very tininfbjeulial member of the House of Representatives, avows himself a distinionit per 4. and seem lo imagine himself capable of wield ing all the physu-al and moral power of South Carolina against the Union.
