\ ; m - : L ti Wa Ml A State, and sot as an uaOqrnniaed (MM of individuals, Artd that the action of .;. uaeh State waa independent of the others, and if any proof of this fact bo wanting it - may bo found io this action of North t^arolina, which Stato^lid hot cuter the Union until more than a ycur uftor it was formed by the admission of pino States, which number * as required by the ('(invention AL-4 -J.-A?1 A. a 44..*. .u th.. tii*i a? #!i*ru iiiu prv^tuv vvu9iuuvtun v* vuc tJaitttd $(aton> It is true that no provision is made in Die Constitution for dissolving the Union, tad it is vory probable that the pat riots who frtmod the iusiruiueiit hud no idea that a loathsome fnuiricUm, pandered to by Northern politicians, would qWr make it necessary for the safety of the South that they shoulJ dissolve the compact on account x>f its violation by tho. other section of the Confederacy; but it.must be veir.cmborcd as in rule o! universal application, that a violation^f a compuct or agreement by one party releases th?? other party troui its hind ing obligation, and the only question is, who is to judge of tho infraction: From the very nature of the case, in a compact with sovereigns, there can be no umpire Unless ono is provided by the instrument itself, and in the language of Mr. Jefferson, 'Hatch State must judge of the infraction und the mode and measure of redress." A compact between sovereign States, with the uuderstundi.ig that tli- majority should put their construction U|toti its provisions, i Would rfot bo Worth the paper upon which it was written. Majorities need no protection, for they can protect themselves, hut minorities insist upon constitutions to re?traiu the majority, and to allow it to put its construction up:>n the compact, is equivalent to giving them the absolute power to govern the minority irrespective of any restraints. The simple statement of the case is this: each State entered tho Union under the Constitution; the Federal Government is the agent of the States, created for special purposes, and circumscribed in its action by the articles of agreement, or in other words the Constitution. W'henover the 'States having the |>owcr to control this -agent, permit or command hini to violate the compact, each State, not having suitrondered its sovereignty, has a right to rcuioustrate or withdraw as she may think I proper, and no earthly power has the right ?to prevent. It is urged by some as an argument against secession, that the cxistiug Govern tucnt would he destroyed by n State seceding; that the revenue laws would become imperative, and the wheels of Government -stund still My answer is this, that in the exercise of an undoubted right and being forced to exercise it by the party that is likely to suffer, it cannot complain of the consequences of its own acts. If South <'arolinn, secede, the Government will be in no worse condition, except for a very -short time, than it would have been if South Carolina had never entered the Union, which is acknowledged on all hands sliu was not hound to do. Tho idea that n majority must always govern, which has taken poMcreion of the Northern mind, is as mischievous as it is fallacious, and is coutrad'ctod by all the analogies of a Republican government. 1 f a mere majority is to govern, why have two houses of Congress?a Senate and House of Representatives ? Why give the President the veto power? Why submit the action of all three to a judicial tribunal 'i Whyjrequirc juries to be: nuuimous in giving their verdict ? Tho conclusion is irresistible that it is for the protection of ^minorities and the safety of the citiscn. r may bo asked if a minority should govern. My auswer is, no; but they should T>c able, hv constitutional restrictions, to restrain the majority from acts of injustice and oppression. In the copartnership forin cd by individuals, the majority is not permitted to construe the article of agreement to the injury of the minority, but in this case there is a disinterested tribunal to deTide the question. In a compact between States, from the nature of the case, there can bo no tribunal to decide violations of it, - and the remedy must bo a dissolution of the agreement, without any right on the part of the majority of the States to prevent the withdraw! of any of the parties, otherwise might would make right, and a compact bean unmeaning and worthless piece of parcSnent. It follows from the views presented, that the Federal (lovernment cannot rightfully use force to prevent a Stat*' ftom seceding, or force her back into the I'nion; but in the language of the late Judge Harper: " men having arms in their hands may use them and 1 'carmot too earnestly ur?e upon you the importance of arming the State at the earliest practicable period, and thus be |ir? pared for the worst. It if grat ifying to know that if we must resort to arms in defence of our rights, and a blow should bo struck fit South Carolina, before the other States tuove up in line, wc have the tender of volunteers iroin all the Southern and some of the Northern States to repair promptly to our standard and share our fortunes. In urging the State to nrm, it is not to be understooed that we are defenceless; by examining the report of the Adjutant and Inspector (Sencrul herewith tru sniitted, yon will see that we have sufficient artus to supply the number of soldiers tint will probably be necessary for some time to tome, and many o" our arms ure of the most approved patterns; but no one can tell what a day tnny bring forth, and it is a wise precaution to prepare in time. 1 cannot permit myself to believe that in the inad ncss of passion an attempt will be made by the present or next adiniuistraton to coerce South Carolina, after accession, by refusing u> surronuer 10 nor iiic naroor defences, or by interfering with her imports or export* ; but if I am mistaken in this, we must accept the issue, and meet it as becomes men -mid froeuien, who in nil the calmness of determined resolution, infinitely prefer atiui'bilatioo to disgrace. Wc can penetrate the dark future; it may be "filled with ashes, tear* and blood," but let us go forward in tho discharge of our duty, with an unwavering trust in God, and a consciousness that any thing is preferable to dishonor and degradation. W M. II. GIST. Not*.?In addition to what has l>cen said of postal mailer*, the present arrangement might be o ntinued. by an agreement bet worn the State .and the Federal authorities for a giv?n time, and until other States secede, and ? formation of a Southern Confederacy, when the whole subject can be intrusted to them ; nnd if no arrangement of tho sort can be carried out, and (ioverument insist on considering the Slateatill .in the I'nion after the urdinanoo of secession has been patse l, the [ resent arrangement jmunt ecace, aud soma other, under State authority, J>e substituted.

This grout event, fearfully anticipated, is upon us in tho fullness of a reality, and its etFect? arc constituting the staple of many an editorial, North and South. From the tenor of the whole, we iuferthat in the Northern region the right of secession will l>c denied, and u pseudo-conservatism will be suggested, ultimately reliant upon the tender desire of the South to accept such promises and intimations a- the basis of full and tin d adjustment of the question. Whether we, in Southern latitudes, will swallow the sugared bail, remains t > be seen. In a review of the questions and measures which have produced this sectional election, upon strictly sectional principles, during the last forty years of American history, we opine, no ground of a fixed hope cub be found, j that the North will do us justice, or satisfy the I demands ot the South upon Constitutional con I siderntions. We have ever believed that the | pulpit and moral action of the North hid bctciune so prostituted and tinctured with the spirit of abolitionism, as to incapacitate them ! to rncio us out justice in regard to our uliar I institutions. The vote of l.;ucolu, confined us I it is to the eighteen tree or iinu slavelioldiug j States, Willi uot a single vole in the fifteen I Southern States, is n decided proof and conei1 sive argument that our Government i- ??cfiuiii uiued totally and hopelessly.

"Enquirer" says "had . the report been submitted to the meeting by its Chairman, I was ready to more a reotnmital of it myself." It seelaa strange that any man antcrluiuing the views expressed by "Enquirer" should stand by uud sec what he deems so gross an out rage ou the rights of ptople without raising liig patriotic voice against iu ?,d<|>1y be* cause the question was cot snomitted by the Chairman of the meeting. Would he staad quietly and s?*e the Chairman ihurst aside and. the duiies of the t. hair u**rj>*d by another who was then proceeding to force n noiuiuat ion which "Enquirer" protends is so eery objectionable upon the people. To say the least of it he has been derelict in his duty, llut "Enquirer" dsnyttuces tUo mmiiuation iu unn.taaurrd tc rtna wiiitMiit giving hi' objections.
