Passing over many such contests in antiqu v, we come at once to more modern times. 1. The struggle of the Swiss for indepei leuce was begun by a mere handful of men, i he cantons of Swkitz, Urn and I'ntkkwali indiiriiile offered to Wll.l.IlM TkL 'I'"" " "'B?V A'itli -10t> or f>00 men they met a regular fori if '20,000, under the \rih-Dake Leopold ? Austria, at the pass of iMoitfiAKTi'.N, and t, | on record was that made by the city of Leyn ! den in 1.Y73, against the formidable power of iv : the Spaniards. This sittall city underwent a c- vigorous siege, during wmeli tiie women per- | s- formed nil the duties of soldiers. After a long j id and glorious contest, the seige was raised, and i mi the city saved by tiirowing down the dykes \ v- : and inundating the country with tiie sea. i It is worthy of remark here, also, thai in this i to famous contest, of the 17 Provinces of Holland, I t- ' only snr.n, embracing a very small territory, j h- ; couihi ied to defend their libe.ties. Hut the j id heroic Prince of Orange at the head of t ese j to small Provinces, remarkable for their simpliei rs j ty of manners, their public frugality and their i i invincible courage, with a re-iiiforceaient of j re only 1000 English, maintained the iadependen- j et i cy ol these Provinces, against the titpn most ! of j powerful monarch in Europe, r- j i>. The liberty struggle of the Poles, so fate i mows in history, and in many respects, so worw thv of admiration, was unsuccessful from sevl,* 1 ..*> I sue P. .] . >wt if 12 2ii l*ri\n ?ii 1.1(1 liv- lliri>0 i e, ! of the Ingest nod most despotic powers on the x- globe?'lltf3-?r\, Austria and Pki's.-ia?allseerelly planning and working tier overthrow, if, She was completely cut off from all liberal and ?v sympathizing nations. Notwithstanding this, rj howeve;, it is tiie opinion of many Euronenn re .Statesmen, that but for internal dissensions, of Poland' might still have maintained her indei j pendence against all the machinations of the s : triple aliiattCe. In that country, the masses ii- were under the most absolute slavery to their ir nobles; and the nobles as feudal Lords, inde? pendent of the crown, were at constant warfare 'd with each other. The State had no uniting It principle. Discord and dissension reigned >r j throughout their entire struggle for indepen>0 ; deuce. n, Similar causes operated to defeat the recent id Huxoamax contest. Jealousy among the id principal races, the .Mavgars, the l.'routiaus, I- and the Sola voniaiis. inflamed bv the irolden ill promises of llus>ia ami Austria, produced the s- j wonderful defection m the triumphant armies t?* of Hungary, and suddenly . ! one of the most famous in history. Who has t- not read the patriotic appeals of Wkhstkk and -e Cl w, on behalf of this gallant people ? Who )f does not know that joy and delignt thrilled i | the public mind of tiiis country on hearing of ) j their glorious success? In Jrtd7 Greece es r ' tahlislied Iter independence, and lias since quiy j etlv maintained it. <1 J 8. Tux vs, as we all know, without resources, a and with a mere handful of men, aided by iri ! regular volunteers, from the Coiled States, is j with a daring boldness worthy of all praise, i- | continued through a six year struggle, achieved - | her independence against Mexico with a pop s. vlatiou ui 7,0U0,Oik), trained to war tor tue last ie lilt v years. g y. iNot the least memorable instance, in moie dern times, of a small .State struggling against r- a powerful nation, is tiiat ol Caijcasi's a..mist s, itussia This truly bravo people, occupying 1 'c an extent of Territory, between the Black ami i- Caspian seas, not larger than South Carolina, V iias lor years ueld in check, and battled all the st efforts ol tne Russian Autocrat, witu an Kin- i ;e pire ufbd.OOO.UUU of innabitunls and a stand- ; I log army ol 7bi),000 men, though tne war has ' n | been carried on witn the most relentless vigor. 11 | vVnat but the boldest spirit, guided by an over i, i ruling intelligence could sustain tills nandliil ( ii i ol men against Iotcs so numerous and p-?wer- j ir ! I'd I ( iii mis calculating age, is it not a inirad j cle ol' bravery ( Is it not worthy of emulation ? [ These lew incidents, casually suggesting i ir themselves, teach us some important lessons suited to the present emergency of our political ie j allairs. Tins is an historical truth. The sue- i i- I cess of u gullmil xlruugle on the aide of right i ie ' and Jus! we, ago in* t wrou^oud oppression is olJ . a. most irtfvilabfr. How can we, then falter (? With the wrongs and insults that hare been inflicted on us. with our gloomy prospects in this Union, and with the noble efforts of these small but gallant States in the cause of liberty before us, can we fold our arms in submissive apathy, till we are completely clenched by. the iron shackles of Northern despotism ? When so many* small States have nobly risen up to relieve themselves from the yoke of the tyrant, shall we be deterred from grappling with the Northern despot for our liberties? But it is said our cause is a common one, and we should wait for the other States. The sooner we move in prudence* and firmness, the sooner timir I. til n n..* ? ?* ? .1? >?vi jum uj. uui wc ijm.il. niinr, or mev will desert u3. When Tell was outlaid by the Austrian government, did his countrymen wait till ail the cantons had made common cause for their common liberties? No! they at once (lew to arms, and with only 400 or 50U began the eventful struggle which was to con* stitute Switzerland a famous Republic. Had Holland awaited tbe union of her seventeen Provinces, she mignt never have thrown off the Spanish yoke. With a. small force she began the contest, when others jomed, and she achieved her independence. Our own colonies did not wait lor general concert before beginning tbe Revolution. A few daring spirits threw the tea over-board. The British Government resorted to violence, and the torch of freedom was lighted up all over tire country. South Carolina set up for herself anbndepeiulent gov. ernment months before any of the other States. Let the blow of our liberties be once given, and the (lame of resistance will soon rage over all tiiese southern states. JJut there must be A practical issue?some startling event that will break up old party shackles, before these State* will come to the conflict. Why should it* who are in a favorable situation, hesitate to mrke this issue ? What do we dread I A federal army ? An attempt to invade our soil with an army would bluw the Union to pieces in Ies? than six months. Nobody doubts this. Do wo fear a biocka !e of our ports? Would not this lie war to all intents? And onee in war with the government, what could we do but adopt all the meatis which the God of nature may i.lonu In r*nr Knnile ? Ao till nlltar ?\i(Innc iloiVj we could borrow money/ fnise trocrp?, build ships tor which we have ample materials, grant letters of Marque atiu reprisal and enlist privateers to disturb the commerce and annoy the lleets of the enemy. Who believes that tho Government could for any length of time sustain a blockade? Public opinion would remove :t; and if not that, bloodshed and destruction. Ocean Steamers are known to he effective agents iit chilling rind getting rid "fiiloaWiog Meets, and men of military science are acquaintetl with certain instruments of war, called Fireships* that would soon make way with the largest Revenue cutters ami Men-of-war. These means and others which the genius of war never fails to devise to meet the exegencies of the occasion would come to our aid.? ' Resides, there is a just God, who preside* ?i i a! ? . _ 1* . i i _ .. _ over me uesumes 01 nations ; una wuo win raise u;> friends to fight our battles for us." That (.toil is always oil the side of right and justice, and whatever Hk befriends will ultimately prosper and prevail. Do we doubt the justice of our cause I If not, let us use projieriy the means at our command, and we canuot doubt our success. We must succeed. Hut shall we pause to consider the chance* of failure f What! pause to deliberate whether or not we will protect our property, sustain our ancient renown, and our dear-bought liberties! Pause, t j determine whether or not wo shall be shires 1 Whether or not we shall maintain the glorious heritage, to gain whi"1, caused our ancestors to toil for years amid dangers, difficulties, and privatio.is ? Oh! let it not be recorded in history, that within 80 years after our glorious struggle lor independence, the descendants of our revolutionary sires have sunk into degeneracy : have lost the spirit necessary to maintain the renown and liberty of their fathers. Can we bear to stigmatize the yet unspotted fame of our State { Will we entail unheard of evils upon innocent generations to be horn, by forcing them to become the slaves of VActliuiMi l*i11??t!< ?:V f .iit t\lie iw.i'nr l>o nnr Hia. grace." No! let us resolve upon action?dignitieu, discreet, hold action : characterized by a spirit of harmony and conciliation ; generous towards one another and towards our neigh* hors, hut sternly bent on achieving our hide. , pendence and liberties. *It is known that this was a favorite mode of warfare with the modern Greeks in their struggle lor independence.
