Address of tt e Southern Rights Association oi the Sooth Carolina College. To the Students in the Collejus and Universities, and to the yrrnng men, thtQughuul the Southern States. Friends and Fellow-Students: We have l>een invited by the Southern Rights Association, organized by students in the University of Virginia, to form an association similar to their own, to protect the rights, liberties and institutions of the Sbuthern Suites. We obey the invitation, not merely because we deem it wise and patriotic, in the present condition of the u ?-i o. i . a... a oouuieru oiaits, oui uecuuse me iiiviuiuuu iw- j self comes to us from a source we have ever been accustomed to regard with the highest respect Virginia has, in times past, led the counsels of the Eolith. If she is to lead the South no more,?if she lias become the counsellor of a base submission to the wrongs she taught us to defy and resist as unendurable, we mourn her position; and turning from the humilliating present, look to that past where she is all glorious. By her wisdom and energy, the first brave struggle was made for the rights and liberties secured by the Constitution against the usurping despotism of Consolidation. She first blew the bugle of resistance to the alien and sedition laws. She first vindicated the rights of the States, by her masterly expositions in 1798 and 1799, and interposed her power to rescue them from the insolent federalism of those dark days. She gave us those great Revolutionary Presidents, under whose benign administration, liberty and prosperity, went hand in hand together; and the love of the Union, instead of inspiring that jealous watchfulness, which all experience declares necessary to check abuses in Governments, and to preserve lilierty, grew up in the Southern mind to be a blind and unreasoning passion. I n^liinnr llinn In thn unfit. U'fi how with U?vnj..jj, ?v.| | j veneration to all counsels coming from Virginia. We obey the recommendations of the Southern Rights Association of her University, and extend to her students the right hand of fellowship?not nerveless, we trust?to redeem our plighted faith to them, or the lost equality and liberties of the South. Young men of the South!?we are, indeed, fallen on evil days. That inevitable decay which awaits all nations, or that redemption which so seldom lifts up fallen liberty, is Boon to be our destiny. We have not like oar fathers, "scented tyranny in the tainted gale." Like them, we have not disdained to permit even the touch of its foul pollution. No petty tax of three-pence a pound on tea now arouses our resistance. Even threats of military coercion to cement tyranny by blood?which brought from our fathers but one response, the stern grasp of the sword; seem to fall stirringless on the Southern heart. We have submitted so. long to injustice and oppression, that neither submission burns with shame, nor iusult fires with an intolerable sense of dishonor. How else shall we account for the long and passive endurance of the Southern Statea, to the oppression of the General Governmeut t For the I ? * ? " hue ImufkO^ nruin no nri Klin. IHSl UllIV) )CUiOj !> lino uvcij/vu u^/vi u?| mm m?.? drcdfold increased in aggravation, the very oppression our fathers resisted, and vanquished by a seven years war. The people of South Carolina, the people of Virgini i, and of the other States, denied that it was consistent with self government and liberty in taxation, that they should he taxed by any power lieyond tl em selves. The claim of the British Parliament to tax the.n, in all cases whatsoever, was, in their view, submitted to, establishing a tyranny over them. The mockery of a representation in Parliament, which was not strong enough to control or prevent any taxes Parliament might propose to lay on them, they disdainfully rejected. Self-taxation alone gave them the power to protect their property?alone gave them liberty in taxation; and, with this alone, would they be satisfied. And yet, what has been tl.e nature of the taxes which every man in the Southern States opposed to the protective policy has been paying, by the laws of the General Government, since he arrived at manhood ? Neither he nor his representatives have assented to them. Our representation In Congress, too feeble to protect us, has only served to give the semblance of con - . i -i i stitutionality to those robber Jaws, in uie aunpc of protective tariffs, by which the South has been taxed for the benefit of the North?the Southern planter and farmer for the benefit of the Northern manufacturer. By this policy, millions of the property of the Southern people have l>eeu annually wrested from them, and transferred to the people of the North. Congress claims to be just as omnipotent over us, in the power of taxation, as the British Parliament; whilst in the purposes for which we have been taxed, the British Parliament wrb far more ju*t and liberal. It proposed to tax usonly to assist in paying the debt which Great Britain had incurred in defending us, as her colonies, against a common foe. But Congress taxes us, so far as the protective features of the tariff law are concerned, for no purpose in which we are beneficially interested. We are simply plundered for the benefit of others. We are taxed to enrich favored capitalists, engaged in manufactures, in a favored section of the Union.? There, also, are expended four-fifths of the pub it -I-/, o rrw.nnnnl v to the I1RV1 lie revenue; mere, maw, ?v gntion interest has been obtained. In the free States, too, the effort has been continually made to lavish the public domain, and to exhaust the treasury on works of internal improvement In fact, the whole government, from itc foundation, in nil its pecuniary operations, has been perverted from its orginal design, of being a common and equal benefit to all sections of the Union, to build up und enrich the North at the expense of the South. 'ru_. Knan colonized to all intents i ne ouum IK?O I and purpose, bv U.e North. Wo have not tax' r' <d ourselves. We have notruiea our??re?.? Both in the imposition and expenditure of taxes, we have been ruled by the North, contrary to the whole spirit of the Constitution, and every dictate of justice and liberty. Under the forms of free-government, we have been practically laboring under a most oppressive des potisrn. Now, it appears to us necessary to understand this great feature of our condition, before we can account for the subsequent aggres- v sions and insults, which have been heaped upon us. Submission to tariffs, which have all been protective in principle, has cast us down * e A i irom oar original position ui mjuautj hw dom with the people of the Northern States.? It robbed us of that liberty in taxation, which the Revolution of 1776 aimed to secure. Is it v at all surprising, that after submitting to be , plundered in our income, the North should see no obstacle but its own will, to our being plun* dered of any other property we may possessf i ^ By our submission to the tariff* laws, .we prae- I tically surrender to them the mastery of our property. Why then should t1 not take a / portion of the capital as well as ttie income f r.' Why should they not take from us our property in our territories, or emancipate the slaves of the South ? Abolition has thus sprung from the tariff, and our ignominous ejection from our territories from the tariff* and abolition. In our complicated condition of mortification, , shame and infamy, we can now see the fonts * of our own base abandonment of our rights. We have raised op the fell spirit of abolition, and invited by oar imbecility and cowardice, our expulsion from oar territories. Yet, shall we now submit, as we have done to the tariff*, to the designs of abolitionism in our expulsion from, our territories ? Is the spirit of freemen so utterly dead in the South,aha* no wrongs can awaken us to resistance! Never, in the history of nations, have any people pretending to liberty, submitted to outages so great and dishonoring, as those which characterize that foul 44 budget" of lies and oppressions, called fc the Compromise." - * We won California and New Mexico* We of the South won them by our counsels, wen them by our arms. We made the war by whioh they were acquired, and we sustained it in Coigress and in the field to its triumphant and glorious consummation. Had the South not been in the Union, or had she not .pressed on the Mexican war, who believes that the North coeid have entered on its perils, or have acquired these territories*? And now, their equals in die Confederacy, and more than their equals in our sacrifices to acquirq^bem, we are to be thrust out from every foot,of these .magnificent domains. The mode in which this wrong has been accompliai ed, is of no moment to any but those who are content with the flimsiest subterfuges to hide their rowardice or treachery. Indirect fraud can no more reconcile a brave man to the desecration of his rights, than direct or open aggression. On the contrary, it may only deepen the indignation which inspires the determination for redress. Congress indeed did not directly by law preclude the Southern slaveholder from settling with his slaves in California, but it did the same thing indirectly. Under an administration hostile to the rights of the South, California is made to apply to be admitted. <aa a State into the Union, with a constitution precluding slavery. Under the pretext, that tie people have a right to role themselves, a handful of t migrants from ail climes and nations, inhabiting a small portion of this territory, large enough tor six great States, undertake to exclude from it a portion of its common proprietors, the Southern people. Congresa ratifies the fraud. Congress gives validity to the Constitution thus made for California, which had no validity before, and thus renders the WikOot Proviso triumphant throughout ber boundaries* The same policy of indirection is carried out* to exclude the South from Utah and New Mexico. They are not, like California, admitted aa States into the Union ; they are organized into Territories, and nothing is said precluding slavery, in the law ordaining Territorial Government I ^ I tko QahIK- kflfi trium nhod Ml the ?

Triumphant, and yet ex- ? eluded! excluded by Mexican lawa existing over these Territories, before they became oar property, and which tbey left unrepealed! Leg-. islatioo by Congress to exclude us, is thus unnecessary, and for this cause alone does not prevail. An Executive pledge to enforce these Mexican laws for our exolusion, is left to accomplish this result, by the appointment of Judicial and Executive officers, who vilt cafry out this policy. He hu accordingly appointed such officers; and we stand exc luded by all the power of the General Government from enter ing inese xeniionea. xuis i? mo vwiowmm.tion of non-intervention, which means only exactly such intervention as is deemed necessary to exclude the South from all participation in our acquisitions. We had thought that it was the great duty of all Governments to protect persons and property. For these ends alone Governments exist A Government which does not protect property, is entitled to no support. It ought not to exist a day. Yet the Government of the United States has not only failed to protect the slave property of the Sooth in the territories belonging to them, in common ? with the other States in the Union,^wt has, by its positive legislation, robbed them of a portion of these territories themselveh.
