From the Columbia Guardian, Letter from Hon. W. W. Eoyce. Sabine Farm. August 3, 1SU?. ? Gentlemen : My high respccjfc for you in? duces mc to hasten a reply to your note. If Lincoln he elected, I think the South? ern States should withdraw from the Union; all, if not nil. then as many us will, ami if no other. Smith Carolina alone; in the promptest manner, and by the most direct means. To comprehend the full significance of Lincoln's election, we must remember the principles, the character and the sentiment of the Republican party. The vital principle of tin's parly is ne? gro equality, the only logical finale of which is emancipation. To see this, il i-< ? only necessary to look at. their platform, which, though intended for obvious rea? sons of policy to appear conservative, yet raises the veil in part. This platform says "wohold that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty," &o.; and this on motion of .Mr. Giddings. This is intended to include riegros. It follows, therefore, according to the Republican faith, that no one can be rightfully held in slavery. Slavery, then, is a great wrong. The Republican parly is bound, there? fore, so far as their constitutional powci goes, to remove that wrong. At present their practica] point of attack i* ihe Ter? ritories; when this question shall no lon . gcr exist, then the District of Columbia will receive their attention, and so on with the other outposts of slavery. Supposing these outposts disposed of, then the move? ment necessarily must be directed against slavery in the Stales. The party will be bound to exercise its constitutional pow? ers to destroy slavery in the Stales. It would be considered entirely constitution? al by the Republicans, to agitate the ques? tion so as to influence the South, by moral means, to abolish slavery. And as soon as the admission of new free States, and the change of .stains of Rome of ihe border States furnished the necessary majority to change the Constitution, the Republican party -would be sure to demand such change, and abolish slavery in the States. The Republican party has but one stop? ping place?emancipation. 3Ir. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, one of the ablest men in the Republican party, compre? hended the mission of bis party, when be said in Boston, " 1 tell you hero to-night, that the agitation of human slavery will continue while the foot of a slave presses the soil of the American Republic." By the character of this party, I mean its sectionalism. It is a party confined entirely to the Northern States?hoth its candidates are Northern men. The idea of the majority section banding together for the purpose of seizing upon the Gov? ernment, is at war with the spirit of* the Constitution. The great idea of the Con? stitution is the equality of the States.? The seizure of the Government by one section is a practical revolution in the Government. The Northern States then become the master States, and the South? ern States sink into an interior condition. This is not the Union into which our fa? thers entered. It was ushered in by the administration of Washington, a Southern slaveholder, who had humbled England. The new order of things which the Ro publican party propose to introduce would be inaugurated by the administration of Lincoln, a Northern Abolitionist, who would humble the South. Between these two administrations what a profound gulf. The first representing the perfect equality of the States; the second would represent the domination of the North and the sub? jugation of the South. A half-dozen un? successful campaigns could not put the South in a more ahject condition. By the sentiments of this party I mean its antagonism to the South. It requires no elaborate proof to show that the feel? ing of this party is that of hostility to the South. The tone of the Republican press, the temper of public speeches, such as are delivered by Stunner and Lovcjoy and other leading men of the parly, the sym? pathy for John Brown, the very agitation ,<of the slavery question, and numerous other facts which might be cited, show that the great passion on which the Re? publican party rests is hatred to the South. Such being the Republican party, for the fJouth to consent to its domination is to consent to death. Not that 1 apprehend any startling measures of aggression by this party immediately. No. its policy is too obviously a wise moderation, and its leaders arc men of too much sagacity to be driven ahead of their programme. But the mere fact of such a part}' taking pos? session of the Federal Government, with the acquiescence of the South, will be the most fatal blow the South has ever re? ceived. The whole power and patronage of the Government will be placed upon the side of negro equality; the Northern ma? jority adverse to us will be stimulated to new life; they will feel the exultation of being the master States. The Southern States, on the other hand, will be wounded in their prestige. Their equality gone, hopeless of the future, they will be pre? pared for defeat because they will have despaired of victory. Great as are the moral effects, impor? tant practical results would also speedily follow. The patronage of the Adminis ^ tration would be used to build-up a Rcpub-1 and the Federal .1 udiciary would he re? modeled, so that the dogmas of fanaticism would becomo the decrees of the Supreme Court Nor could we obtain peace by an abject submission, if so inclined; the agi? tation would go on with increased volume when it was found not to he hazardous, and wo would ultimately be forced to yield all, or to resist under circumstances infinitely more discouraging than exist at present. To acquiesce in the vast powers of the Federal Government going into the hands of oar would-be masters, with the intention of resisting at some future time, would be to emulate the i ; fat na? tion of the Nttmidiau King, who delivered his treasures, his arms, bis elephants and his deserters to the Romans, and then rc ! newed the war, having needlessly depriv? ed himself of the means of defense. If the South acquiesces in a Republican Administration, I think the question of negro equality is settled against us. and emancipation only a question of time. I have regarded this question in the same light for years, and I have considered the success of the Republican party in the Presidential election as involving the ne? cessity of revolution. So regarding it, I have thought the great 'paramount object of our policy wes to let this Republican success occur, if it must occur, under the most auspicious circumstances for a dis? ruption, and those auspicious circum? stances I thought would consist principal? ly in the largest attainable sympathy North, and the greatest unity South. These conditions I thought were most likely tu bo reached by a wise and pru-1 dent moderation on the part of the South. And 1 accordingly advised and acted in that direction, and I am satisfied 1 never gave wiser counsels. I said to my con? stituents last summer, that we must act with the. most consummate prudence then, in order to profit by the most des? perate boldness if it become necessary? ?prudence to give no pretext for the elec? tion of a Republican, boldness to relieve ourselves from such election if i: must lake place. My policy was a consistent policy?prudence, when pin lenee might be advantageous; boldness, when nothing else was left. The time is now approach? ing when in my opinion the only alterna? tive will be boldness. If the Republican party triumph in the Presidential elec? tion, our State has no choice but to im? mediately withdraw from the Union. Nor is this so hazardous an undertaking as i ight be conceived at firs: sight. * Suppose we hav done this. Then on? ly two courses rentnin to our enemies: first, they mast let us alone; secondly, they must attempt to coerce us. Either alternative will accomplish our purpose. Suppose they let its ?.done very good. We will have free trade with Europe, and get along very well in our happy medioc? rity far better than as a degraded satel? lite of.a gorgeous system, whose glories would be for others, whose shame for us alone. We would not have to pay any taxes, direct or indirect, to Northern Ab? olitionists?that would be some consola? tion. Suji];ose they undertake to coerce us. Then the Southern State:3, are compelled to make common cause with us. and we will wake up some morning and find the flagof a Southern Confederacy floating over us. That would be a great deal bet? ter than paying tribute to the John Brown sympathisers. The South still has splendid cards in her hands if she will only play them. The constitution of Northern society is artificial in the extreme. Immense wealth has been accumulated there. A few arc richer than the Kings of the Fast; the multitude labor for their daily bread ; much of this wealth is breath? the breath of credit. A civil convulsion will bring their paper system of credit tumbling about their ears. The first gun tired in civil war will cost them 8500,000, 00-0. and strikes will not be confined to the shoemakers, but will become epidemic. If Lincoln is elected, let us put them at defiance, and if they incline to try the last argument of Kings against us?very well. When, in sixty days, they have lost SnOO.UiJU.OOO. and hear the curses of their unemployed mob. demanding bread or blood, perhaps the doctrine of negro equality will not be quito so popular, and the beginning of a powerful reaction may lake place?the harbinger of long years of peace and fraternity. Rut if no reac? tion takes place, and our Northern ty? rants persist in putting us to our mettle? very well. II" nothing will do them but sword, be it so. Let us show that we can grasp the sword as well as they can ; that we are not degenerate descendants of those glo? rious heroes from whom we draw our line? age. If the worst comes to the worst, we can but fall, sword in hand, fighting for all that makes life desirable?justice, equality and our country. 15ut I have no fear as to the result, if it conies to a ques? tion of arm... We can give blows as well receive them, and we are as apt to have winter quarters in the city of New York, as they theirs in New Orleans. But^wc do ; ot desire war. Wo wish peace and fraternity in the Union, if pos? sible; but one thing there is which we are determined to have, in the Union or out of it?equality. Wo to those who would rob ualof this. t,>r they will bring ?rrcat enlamit^fc on their country, them? selves, and hiflh'anity. WILLIAM W. IJUYCK Latest from Texas. Tau Incendiary Outrages in Texas. ?Tho He usl on True Southern, of tho 28th nit., has the following paragraph on this subject: Just as wc arc going to press, news has arrived here from- a reliable source that 22 negroes have been arrested and are to he hung in \V axahatehie to-day. Uur fellow-citizen, Mr. II. L. Cotton, informs us that a letter was received l>y Thursday's ?mail, by his niece in this place, from Mrs. Bennett, of Austin, giving an account of a fearful attempt made about the 22d iustC, to reduce mir .State Capitol to a heap of ashes. The daring experi? ment was made to set lire to some twen? ty-five of the principal edifices of the city; fortunately, however, the flames were dis? covered and extinguished before any se? rious damage had been sustained. On the night previous, the Austin correspondent to whom wc are indebted for the intelli? gence we are recording, hud been keeping vigils over the sick bed of a friend, when she observed a sheet of flames bursting from a neighboring house, which in eon sequence o:-" timely Wartung, the citizens were enabled to arrest, and save the build? ing from impending ruin. At present, says Mrs. Bennett, the whole population of the metropolis are under arms, and laboring under the most intense excitement. A police force, con? sisting of from sixty to ninety men. are maintaining the strictest system of vigi? lance, by night and by day. In all the counties visited lately by fires, committees to investigate the subject have been appointed, and the most efficient cit? izen patrols have been established. In Grimes county, a meeting of the citizens resolved : ?? That there is among the negroes in j the county a disposition to revolt and be insubordinate; that this feeling is pro? duced by the influence of certain white I persons in tin- comity; that it is time steps be taken to rid the community of these men; that preaching to the negroes in the county be stopped, at least for one year; that Northerners coming into the county under pretence of being ministers, teach? ers, drummers. &c., are to be regarded with suspicion and received with caution; that a vigilance committee be appointed, patrols organized, and other measures for safety be taken." A couple of suspicious strangers from Kansas are recollected as having begu_. seen in Dallas two days before the tire, and a day m- two r.t'tcrwanls. They are thought to have had some agency in the work of destruction. Rumored Confession.?The Matagorda , Gazette gives currency to the following. Wc copy, though believing a part of the statement exaggerated : Mr. (!. U. Chccsmnn, from Wharton,in? forms tiie Matagorda Gazette that a report had reached that place that a contempla? ted insurrection hail been discovered in Grimes county, in which two abolition preachers ami about eighty negroes were concerned; the report was further, that ihe preachers made a full confession, cor? roborating the belief that there was a deep laid scheme, to produce a revolt among the negroes of the State. The preachers were then hung, and the negroes put in jail. A patrol has been established at Mata? gorda. The citizens of LaGrango have appoin? ted a vigilance .committee, and it was re? commended at the meeting that in every beat in the county, a guard be organized. A letter from Independence, "Washing? ton county, to Rev. I*. ('. Burleson. of La Grange, says that a white man had been taken up. am! with him several negro men. suspected of being with the present insur? rectionary i im vom Tit? f-Jnvit excitement prevailed and vigilant committees were formed. ] I i nc.?"We copy the following from the Fort Worth Chief, of the 25tli tilt.: Gov. Gholsou, of Washington Territory, passed through town on Sunday morning last. Two of Col. Johnson's rangers passed through town last Sunday morning, and state that the Hcgiment had arrived at the Witchita mountains with but fifteen days' rations.and that they have not seen any Indians, but have heard of a large body. On the 17th instant was found the body of a man by the name of Wm. II. Craw? ford, suspended to a pecan tree, about three-qiKirtcrs of a mile from town. A large number of persons visited the body during- the day. At a meeting of the cit? izens the same evening, strong evidence Wits adduced, proving him to have been an abolitionist. The meeting endorsed the action of the party who hung him. Reports from Dallas.?We copy from the Austin Mate Gazette, the following notice of the action of the citizens of Dal? las, in regard to the late conflagration : The excitement consequent upon the revelat ion made by negroes under exami? nation continues unabated. Already near? ly a hundred blacks have been arrested j and examined separately before a com j niittei- of vigilance, appointed fortbatpur j pose. This committee consist-; of the most responsible gentlemen ol this coun? ty, whose proceedings have been charac? terized by the utmost prudence and mod? eration. Crowds of men are in Dallas, anxious and eager !?? lend their assistance, and i reads to quell every disturbance that threatens tho peace of the Stute. The developments are of the most startling character, unfolding tho most diabolical plot that the wickedness of man could in? vent, to destroy this whole section of country. At the town of Lancaster the same general plot was revealed?to hum the town; to poison the inhabitants; to as? sassinate the aged females, and to sei/.?? and appropriate tho young and handsome for their villainous purposes. -Monday, July 23.?An immense con? course of people from all parts of the coun? try is here, awaiting the action of the vigilance committee. The stage came in from Waxahachic, yesterday. bringing news of the high state of excitement in that town. The conspiracy and insurrec? tionary spirit extend to that place in all the horrid forms contemplated at this place. Throughout the country, solar as we can learn, the same thing exists. That town was destined to he burned, the people to be poisoned and slaughtered, and the remaining property to be distrib? uted amongst the victorious blacks. On lied Oak Creek, the chief prisoner had been arrested and executed. Negroes at Waxahachic have been detected with the poison in their possession, and a runner in town, yesterday, reports that there have been several executions at that place. We have not yet received the par? ticulars. The committee of vigilance have been in session all day. and this evening they ; announced that three of tin: ring-leaders of the insurrection arc to be hanged to? morrow. TUESDAY, July 24.?This evening, at 4 o'clock, the three ring-leaders. Sam, Cato and Patrick, were escorted from the jail. | under a strong guard, to the place of exe- j cation. An immense concourse of citi? zens and negroes assemble!. As they passed through the town they surwyed. with composure, the ruins of the once flourishing town that now lav a blacken? ed mass before them. Patrick remained calm and collected during the whole day, ami betrayed no remorse or feeling what? ever, in view of his approaching doom, lie it was who fired the town, and the night after its destruction, glorified him? self for the deed, ami pronounced it only | the commencement of the good work. Sam Smith, so called from the name of his master, was an old negro preacher. uUw>-4rnti-imtTnicd most of his villainous principles from two abolition preachers. Blunt and McKinney, who lived in the country a year before, and had much in? tercourse with him. Cato has always en? joyed a bad reputation. They met their fate with a composure worthy of a bet? ter cause. Patrick, with unparalleled noncluilance, died with a chew of tobacco in his mouth, and refused to make any statement whatever. They were hung on the bank of the river, above town, and are buried beneath the gallows. Investigations are si ill going on through? out the country, all of which tend to con? firm the facts elicited at this place. The evidence obtained before the committee will be published in due lime. -* A Distressing Cask.?Saturday even? ing, about six o'clock. Geo. Michel, a lad of fourteen years of age. eldest son of Mrs. A. L. Michel, was found drowned in Coming Creek, rear of Clark's .Mills, at the West end of Bcaufain street. His body mas found about twenty- yards dis? tant from the wharf. Coining's Creek, where the current is not strong, is a eom inon resort for hat hers, and young Michel was considered by his companions as an expert swimmer.?Charleston Courier. -4> Plasters' Convention.?A Southern Flauten*' Convention will be held at Hol? ly Springs, Miss., the 15th October next. This meeting \? exclusively disconnected from politics, having for its object the improvement of the condition and the in? dependence of the planter upon home productions. The great interests of ag? riculture and mechanics will receive undi? vided attention of the delegates. - Barnwell District.?They have some trouble inBarnwell District as we learn from the Sentinel. A man by the name of FrankLnyton was ordered to leave, ami barely escaped a coat of tar and feathers. A den of free negroes was broken up on the 2d inst., the buildings were lorn down and the inmates well whipped and ordered to leave. -? Gkoroia Western Railroad. ?

In conversation with one of our citizens to whom he wished to sell his fruit, he indulged in grossly insulting lan? guage, for which the gentleman very properly attempted to punish him; where? upon the negro man resisted, and was not conquered until others came to the rescue.
