SEPARATE STATE SCESSM PRACTICALLY DISCUSSED IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES. ^obli&hc l Originally in ihfi Edgefield Advertiser, BY RUTLEDOB. NO. VI. Effects of Separate Stale'Secession on the other Southern Stales. It is often urged thnt h separate government in South Carolina would estrange the other Southern States, and exasperate them against us. We are at a loss to see how this will happen. Will South Carolina, after she may withdraw from the Union, assume a hostile attitude towards any of these Slates ? Will she not, rkn f1?A L1 - ? v??uaimention to a peaceful policy in all her relations? Far from imposing commerce and intercourse the Southern States, she wilPJreeij' th, and will be always ready to snpply these ag ttes so far as her means will allow, and the a vernment under which they live will permit, he lb all the facilities of a cheap and a prosper- tin 3 trade. Charleston, opened as she now is ci\ all their trade and intercourse, while afford- Su them, by means of our nearer approach to vei s trade, an excellent port for the sale and att ^shipment of their exports, will, at the same coi e, he able to supply them more cheaply than to ' of the United States sea port towns, with i the commodities they may wish for mn. hel ler their full enjoyment of these great com- 8*1' cial benefits, it would be no fault of ours, m t it could wi h reason excite no prejudice ejf( iust us. N othiug but a petty jealousy, from eh we must consider our neighl ore exempt, her Id, on this account, create any unkind feel- by But would not their generous impulses be ner direct the resentment of these States r?n iust the real author of the inconvenience ? 6's( would not new restrictions upon their *v0 le and intercourse serve to open their eyes an{ e fully to the wrongs they are at present oo\ ie to bear? Such seems to be the most pie I ml cnnrKP nf rhiiifre f^e ""D t is also difficult to conceive how the sep- our le nationality of South Carolina will create our [flection by opposing obstacles to the growth eac prosperity of an v of the Southern States, it 1 it, in any wav, force them to produce less, Un tell their produce cheaper, or buy their com- linf lilies at a higher rate than they now do ?? era taiuly not. And where will be the inconven- the :es to which they are subjugated ? True, icy 'ss postal arrangements be made between us State and the General Government, the der stern mail which now passes through Carles- So\ , would be conveyed immediately toSavan- hoi ; but would Georgia, the State most likely Int? to affected by sucii an arrangement, deem big an inconvenience since it would give more Stu ortauce to Savannah, while affording that con to all the mail facilities she now enjoys? I Augusta might be deprived of several bun- Soi i thousand dollars of South Carolina trade, <'fu she might get treble that amount from Geor- jne which now goes to Charleston and New hav k, to say notning of Liia largo increase of ger le to Savannah, it is easily to be seen that sup uij^ur.uui inierubi u? nuw in cau of the utner Southern States is at ail likely gre ?o thwarted by the separate action of Souto the oliua. On the contrary, according to the Thi lion of those opposed to separate secession, vidi interests of our neighboring States, b\ n/b ses and special legislative charities from the in 1 lerul Government, are to be so rapidly pro- the ed as to excite our envy, aud cause us, tail iiu a shoit period, to seek a re-uniou with our other States. If such be the case, as is so ty, tideiitlv expected, where will there he any ruit se of disatfeetion towards our State? ? at! the secession of South Carolina serve jm^ illy to increase the prosperity of tlieso States, ean yet render them hostile against us? Who em explain this paradox ? ({0p iut it is said. " the other Southern States 0pf bo aroused against us for presuming to an I in fliia urunl i-niilnsl for Siinlliprii liberie. < ... ...... - ? ? J, DolJ for involving them in a struggle with tiie (juc teral Government without cause.'" To sup sojv a our sifter States actuated by motives bo ml and selfish is to cast a stigma upon their itcheon. Their generous natures forbid j suspicion of passions so grovelling. Such ry coii-iderations might inflame thelangungo nc8 16 coffoe-bouse politician or the stump orn- cus and lead him to abuse our purpose, to pro- m0 e his own sinister designs: they could nev- n ?-.. a Tifo Winrmfinil r> t tr4 au_ % WCI >0 II will IMJ uiginuvu MUM MUHWI MWtv VM- irail , u liigli-niinded, sovereign State. The j8te pie of the Southern States incensed against th Carolina for a bold defence of the rights * libortic of 'ho South ! No, never, never. -f We appl.V to this the language of the gri Athenian orator on a similar subject. 44 ie; my countrymen, it can never be to your proac.h that you have braved dangers and def 'Is for the liberty and safety of all Greece. No swear it, by those generous souls of ancit ;e times, who were exposed at Marathon! 1 those who encountered the Persian fleet at S le lamis, who fought at Artemisiam! by all tlio illustrious sons at Athens, whose remains 1 "? deposited in the public monuments."* ' We swear, in like manner, by our commc , fathers, bv our sacred rights and interests, an I ny nil the hallowed associations that link t< e ! getber our destinies the brave and getieroi [people of the South c.m never reproach us fc e J boldly encountering danger for Southern libei | ty. No! Impossible. Let us begin with vigo on our pari; then call on the other States conciliate, and exhort them. This is due to ou ? dignity as a sovereign State.f But how could the Southern States regan the struggle between South Carolina and th< General Government, as arising " without ; cause?" Have not they themselves solemnlj declared and reiterared, that the South has been grievously wronged i Have they pot, in their calm moments, said, that these wrongs call fur resistance by the South "at all hazards and to the last extremity I" These States have surpassed South Carolina in the boldness of their language against Northern aggressions; and, though hindered by unfortunate party dissensions from giving effect to their solemn declarations of resistance, with what consistency or | justice could they deem the struggle of South j Carolina without cause, when this State would be but carrying out their own predetermined resolutions? But it is admitted, on all hands, sooner or later, this contest i3 inevitable. Georgia eren says, she is only awaiting certain other wrongs, which she fully expects to receive, to move her ' a j ? -w uraisifluce. /\uu who imagines mat TNor- { thern fanaticism can be checked except by con- ' valsion or foice? Is it morally possible'therefore that the Soothern States can be incensed , ... gtr iin i(] cause, declaredto',, jastand nghteou^-antfUmicliifKLa "few years.' ey look upon as inevitable t TheflLtural and' dl relations subsisting between tbe%iarjOQS uthern States, and the nature of the contS^j. yy nov/ between the North and the South/Si, er!y negative any such conclusion. Such yo nduct would, in our judgment, be contrary reason and experience. But further. The Southern States, far from ne ^o'a'a ?|Ived in the contest hy he power of these States by their combined np irts in Congress, to prevent any struggle? cni bo believes that if as a body, Southern mem- to s in Congress, should sternly resist co-ercion vis the General Government, that forco would lai employed? Should the North, against the nonstrances of the whole South, forcibly ret the secession of South Carolina?what , uld be the inevitable result? The certain i sudden dissolution of this Union. The *" nthern States, therefore, hold this issue com- ne< tely in their own power, and knowing and ne' ling that the cause we espouse is .just; that ?n' common wrongs, to redress which prompts action, are grievous and severe; and that "~" :li State has the right, for causes deemed by sufficient, peaceably to withdraw from the 110 ion?they could never regard South Caro- JT i as incolcing them in a contest with the Gen- . 1 Government "without cause." Unless by ***) most strange inconsistency and suicide pol- ^r] , they will consider themselves idr.ntifird with ^ in this great issue. Those States will rcnus aid, and at no distant day, join us in a ^ lthern Confederacy. They certainly withd all aid and sympathy from the Govern- J nt in its attempts at co-ercion. It would be lily unjust and ungenerous to our sister "ls tes to suppose liiem capable of any other !" rlow the Southern States could look upon ^ jth Carolina in this contest as actuated by ' ctious and selfish motives," is to us wholly unceivuhle. To indulge sticli a bt'liel is to e a poor opinion of the spirit and intelli- jj" ice of the Southern people, or to take a very j erficia I view of the Southern cause. In that t| ise, as we are led to regard it, are involved i at and everlasting principle*, which lie at . ^ bottom of Southern freedom and safety.? ^ e sovereignty nnd independence of the indi- ^ mil States?the institution of slavery?th? jrrt of taxation: these are the watch-words ^ ;he Southern camp. On these issues, rest all in all of the Southern States. To main- # i them to the utmost of our strength, with ')0. ? ' nil i blood and our treasure, is an imperative du- V to neglect which, is to involve ourselves in ^ ' , , Itn rhe other Southern States feel the growing >ortance of these issues. They know they i never givo in to tho ascendancy of North- ry, power, without losing their freedom and in- the lendence; without giving up their institution bui slavery; without subjeting themselves to cai odious system of tax ition that knows no enj inds of exaction, but the measure of pro- but ition ; without, in a word, creating for them- mu res, a wretched state of bondage, that has no sin alh'll except in Russian serfdom or Mexican an mage. dir n defending these great rights and interests, car which rests all their hopes of future happi* ten s and liberty, could the Southern States ac- at I e South Carolina of " factious and selfish the lives V' Could they, to gratfy n mere whim, cto idle eapiiee, side with the Government a- go nst her in a struggle involving their very ex- am nee as a free people?
