Their cUim,jperhaps it would le correct to state, commenced even as fur back as 1829, at which time cerjain men who then claimed the name of Stither;n Rights Men, opposed violently the TaiifTjof tjat year. Alovost the first poliiical event we 'recollect was the listening to a three hours' speech of Hon. tjeorge McDuffi in 1923. at Abbeville Court iiouse, in South Carolina. In that speech he was quite a hiiieron jhe North anq the par- simonlous lankees as our hot headed Fire. eaters are now in their addresses The dys of nulificatioti. from 1930 to 1933, followed, and inthe estimation of ing saints no man was a friend j these. nullify to lb South who was not an ardent nullifierj ; aind Union ' Soap tails,' men, men wcr cniiru, m Ur, ,i.,t .i -r. :...:.:..l Siilmt9innisl. v.n.

Wiinepsihe test oath', as well as other acts in Sou'b Carolina. This same class ! of men among us would now go the sime thing, j did they possess the power. But ejven these men, who never had known fear,' accepted a Compromise in 1833 from Henry Clay, and seemed very thankful to get out of the difficul ty upon such good terms. I The next link in the chain was tbe passage through Congress of the notorious Atbertnn Re. solutions. These were concoctedand agreed upon in a caucus gf Northern and Southern De mocrats Southern Whis not being consider ed of sufneieut importance to be consulted in a HmaHer of vital importance to their constituents and presented lo.the House by Mii Atherton, and the Democratic parly called upon to sustain them. Southern Whis also voted for them, but under protest, as they had never seen them, or heard of them until they were presented to the House. These resolutions were the founda tion of the celebrated twenty fijrst rule, which was intended to exclude abolitiojn petitions, and BLygoodfriends of the Soulh wore called upon lo sustain them, although they ivere final lv repealed by the same party which passed them originally. This more was followed by the election for President in 1936, when all good friends of the South were called upon by the same self-styled Southern Rights party to vote for Martin Van Buren -now the prince of Fr;eesoilers after he had admitted the rihlj of Congress to abolish slaveryiu ihe District of Columbia ; and against flugbL. White, a Southern man and a slaveholder, who denied the right of Con arjd Norl!l or gouth. In 1640 these same Southern Rights men aX loted for Martin Van Buren, while the y chargeid Gen. Harrison with being un Abolitionist, apd desparate ef. forl9 were made throughout the South to con- A'ict him of thai charge, as well is all those who supported him. After the deKlh of Gen. Harrison, and when Mr. Tjlergotfup the Tex as question, it was. immediately seized upon by this party and made, at once, the Southern ques- V . - JT I.I i I I I 1 izoti par excellence, ana tne leauers oeciarea their determination to vote for no man who was nof in favor of 4he annexation question. This caused ihe defeat of Van Buren in ihe Baltimore Convention, and for ihe; first lime in the history of the Democratic party, a purely sectional question controlled the nomination for President. This nomination, too, destroyed the nationality of that party, and was'the cause of ihe defeat of Gen. Cass in 1848. , Mr. Polk was-' nominated and elected. In the canvass the rallying cry was V Polk, Dal las, Tejras and Oregon," and finally most of the same friends of the south voted for the Ore gon Bill after the Wilmot Proviso, in substance had been added Hi it. The destiny of the south, it was claimed by these ardept Souihern Rights men, depended on Ihe annexation of I elas and Oregon, and all good Southern Rights men were called upon to vote for Polk, Texas and Ore gon. They weie cautioned that the manner in which ihey proposed to annex Texas would lead to difficulty and probably war with Mex ico, but they declared there was no danger, and even if war followed, they were ready io do the fighting. As for Oregon, they were not at all afraid of her. War did follow, and again these menxalled upon the friepds oflhe south to ral- Lly tothe support of thwar against Mexico, as a souihern measure. Peace brought with it a large accession of territory, which these &m peculiar friends of ihasouth voted for as ' indemnity for the past and security forx the future," and; while taking lerritory, appropriated' so mtich that Mr. Polk voluntarily gave Mexico 815,000,000 to bal ance accounts. Subsequently, the doctrine in Congress so far as this territory was concerned, was non in tervention lhat Congress had no power to le gislate on the subjeel of slavpry it) those territo riea. This was good Southlern flights doctrine in 1849; appeals were made lo southern men who were instrumental in its defeat, received ihe severest condemnation frorn he men of whom we have been speaking. All the "friends of the soulh";lhen asked was, iftat the territo ries he left free of all legislation by Congress. The canvass of 1S49 succeeded, and in this L J j .., , , "ijr pkmio exclusive II leu dared their preference for mc-sr- pkmio exclusive ii ieuo3 otjine soutn ue. Gen Cass, a non- slaveholder, lo Gen. Taylor, who was a large !avehoder, and throughout the canvass called loudly on all the friends of the south and of southern rights, to come to ihe rescue and vole for Gn. Cass, as a friend oflhe! south. They labored hr months to prove Ger). jTaylor lo be a Wilmot ProvUo man, and proelaimedjt thro the south tbit he was not to be relied upon on the ilavery question. j The election resulted in arorj of Taylor, and these peculiar frfends of the South .despaired of her fate. Had Gen. Cass been elected, ev. erything would have been jsafe knd the South victorious. Congress xneii in Jecember. and I in a very shorftime sninjs months before Gen. laylor s inauguration i.hfsa Watchful pulisi cal guardians of the South bound her in so much danger that an address was deemed necessary. It was issued and signed by a, Minority of the Southern members, and hi supffort was soon lo be the test by which men's devotion lo the South was to be tried. In the estircation of its friends, those who wttt In favor of ti;9 address wpra.good Southern Rights men; those who opposed ft were at least doubtful. The natural reult of his address was the Nashville Conven tion. When this measuie was proposed by this same class of friends to the South, a new test was presented ; nom but ihh? supporters of this Hartford Disunion Nashville Convention were considered by the g iters up o the schema as friends of the South. The next stp was the Compromise, and here the true friends exhibiiet their peculiar love to the Soulh by opposing this measure of peace, and proposing the line o! 36 30 to the Pacific and the passage of a law by Congress to pro tect property in slaves in the territories, surren dering thereby the right to legislate upon the subject to that body, and taking the very oppo site ofihe ground thy occupied in 1&49. At the present time latest of devotion tothe South, by the exclusive Mass who arrogate to themselves the name of ySotifhern Rights, is to J abuse the Union, entreat allegiance to South ! t, ,. . , .

Their movements can he traced, for they generally leave their mak, and we should like to haS-ethe measure pointed ! out which they hav eVer carried, which has j proved beneficial to the South, or which hasten- ded to strengthen her institutions. lo us, the whole object appears to have been political, and i we cannot avoid the co4cluion that, it their pe. culiar friends were nowlin power, the dangers lo the Soulh would soon vanish into thin air. Their agitations and uli ra doctrines are any- thins else than beneficial to the South. CO" The Republican and Patriot says of the Telegraph, that " it denies the right of se cession to a State, and kvould vote men and mo ney to enable he President to whip such State into submission." Th former of these two propositions is correct, in a limited 6en?e. To the doctrine of secession as entertained by some, perhaps a majority of the democratic par ty, we are entirely opppsed. W'fie do not think thai a State under all circumit&nees, with or without cause, merely at its option, 'has a right to withdraw from, and perhaps destroy this Un ion. We do not think thai Florida, for whose territory five millions of dollars was paid by the Government out of the common treasure, would have a right whenever she saw fit, to withdraw from the Union, and annex' herself again with Spain: from whom she was purchased. We do not think that Louisiana, for whom and for whose territory Mr. Jrfl'erson paid fifteen mill ions, would have a right at her meie option, to withdraw, and if she thought proper, annex her. self also to ihe Spanish Government, or lo Chi na, thereby giving it the title to the mouth of the Mississippi, and depriving the U. States of the free navigation of its waters, the very object which we had in view when the purchase was ma He W An nnf hflipv. lh.lt NrtW York hfl the right, by withdrawing without cause, to di- vide ihe country into wo sections, and lo piare the States in t be strange position of having a foreigner in the person of Mr. Fillmore, to fill the Executive chair, and he too a traitor, if N. York should choose to consider bin). We do not believe that California, which was acquir ed by Mr. Polk " as an indemnity for the past" ill-conduct of Mexico would, after she has ac quired the power, and wealth, and importance, which unquestionably lie before her, have a right, actuated by pride and an ambition to ex ercise the attributes jof sovereignty, lo say to the oiher Slates, " Wje will remain with you no longer. Times are peaceful and quiet 'tis true we are laboring under no oppression, we are prosperous and rich and hajgpy, we like you ve ry well, and have grown great under your pro tection, but we chooise to be by ourselves, and therefore we quit you." All these things, we repeat, we do not and cannot believe. But we Ho believe, that in cases where oomession be comes intolerable, aiid where " non resistance ar.d submission are greater evils than resist- I auce and revolution' that then a State or its people have the right to revolutionize, or to resist, or to do wha ever else she may deem compatible with he interests, her honor, and her safety.

It is seldom we have to record a more villainous robbery than was perpetrated in this Town on ' Friday night last. Mr. Thomas T. Max- W(.jt having on the evening before, sup- plied the last fond wish of bis heart by joining to his own. the fate of one of the fair daughters of Third Creek, did not, as many do, in the hour of prosperity and happiness, forget every body and every thin not present ; but remembering even amidst the hilarity of the pleasant com pany by whom he was surrounded, the woes of others, chose that hour, to appro, priate from stores of plenty, a handsome portion for one whose need he knew, and whose heart he hoped to glad. The rich present was sent to this place by the hand of a trusty friend, and it is gratifying to know lhat it was by no neglect of his that the robbery was committed. Neverthe- less, in the silent watches of the night, the piir'auder having previously concealed himself in the house where wast left the . . . ,. m retreat, and seized it. So silently did he conduct the business, that no one in the bouse was disturbed; and not until the i ' " ' V( of lhe fe,ony- t was lhen to Ute . the sly rogue was gone with his booty, leavinsr no marks by which he miizht be o - : 1 But be it known, from this out.
