Have we no remedy against such an unconstitu tional and lawless. outrage upon our rights? Undoubtedly we have. And ought there not to be concert and union in' the South in fixing upon that remedy? Party should have nothing more to do in this matter, than in resit? ling the progress of the small pox or the cholera. As tve said on a former oc casion, "The interests of the whole South are involved in. one common strumrle; the vigorous anil untiring energies of all should be periled in the coinmuin strife. Let the South unite in one unbroken phalanx. Pa triotism should be the altar upon which par ties should surrender and compromise their predilections and feelings-r-the love of coun try should give purity, and uigntty and permanency to their movements. A South- crn Convention constituted and governed by these elevated and ennobling principles; Union, surpassed only by an intensity of devtjtjon to our dearest rights and honor, aud a determined,.- yet -caliu.aud ibrbearin; intention to defend them, could not fail to convince our Northern brethren that we were at least tmited;" and it could not fail lo check diem in their mad, and mischiev ous purposes. (T Again it is now a good time for the South to consult together on the subject of establishing Iter commercial indepen dence. 1 his is no contracted party scheme; bnt One in which the whole Southern people are deeply in-terested; and should be zeal ously supported, as a Southern measure, by all parties. W hy should not the Southern people be their own exporters and importers? There is nothing to prevent, but much to encour age it. We possess the extraordinary ad vantage of fu:-nishing nearly all the articles of export, in the great staples, cotton, corn, rice and tobacco. We have safe and com motliou9 bar borsy as well suited to. die for eign trade as could be desired. Yet with these natural advantages we employ the merchants of the Northern cities as our a gents in (his business. They export our productions -and import our articles of con sumption; by which "they have enriched, and still continue to e.nry-h. theutselnns, at our expense. It is this that has also given the North the overwhelming 'political power and influence, by which she thinks she can with impunity now put "her foot upon the neck of the South, and fetter the hands that have contributed to her opulence and pride and greatness. Is it not time to put au end to this utieiiual slate , of .. things? Should wo not as Southern men, thus treat ed, lay hold upon our own natural advan tages, and adopt measures to secure the full enjoyment of them to ourselves and our posterity? Should we not adopt this cer tain and wholesome method of breaking that unscrupulous powernr.d influence which our hitherto suicidal course has built up, and thereby effect our deliverance from the threatened dangers? Let this plan be a doptcd, and it will as certainly draw down the insolent power of the North as the hoisting of a flood-irate Vets off the lie'ad of swollen waters; and wilT in die same ratio increase the population and aflluence, and fiwer of the South. 4nmicha scheme, North Carolina has ep interest.
