> Disunion.
' It would seem that from recent "publica?
tions of Messrs. Keitt, Orr and Boyce,
that South Carolina will soon havo to se-.
cede from the Federal Union, either alone
or in company with the other Southern
Stetes, or a portion of them.. These gen?
tlemen declare that the electiou of Lincoln
to the Presidency is certain?that on the
- * happening of such an event, prompt and
immediate secession of the Southern States
must ensue.
? Is the election of. a Chief Magistrate of
>? the Republic sufficient cause for the de?
struction of the- Federal Government and
all the horrors of civil, war and revolution ?
This is a grave and momentous question,
and should be calmly and dispassionately
considered in ail its bearings before it is
answered by the patriot and statesman.
They who consider the union of the States
an injury and a curse to the South, and
are disunionistsjser se, will, of-course, an?
swer "fearfully" in the affirmative. Their
minds are already iriado up, and their pur?
pose formed. To them it is a matter of
no consequence how an event so dosirablo
is "bright about.
But there are-others who think differ?
ently of the Federal Government. They
have seen this American Eepublio, the
only free government in the world, pros?
per and flourish as no government ever
did in ancient or modern tiines. In th'e
course of seventy or eighty years we have
increstsed^ from thirteen States to thirty
three States, from three millions of people
- tp^^rty millions, from poverty and weak?
ness to wealth, power and grandeur, un?
surpassed by the oldest and greatest na
? tions of the earth. A wilderness, cover?
ing a vast continent, has been converted
into, towns, cities and; cultivated fields.
During all this time every one has enjoy?
ed the most perfect freedom and security
in all his rights as- a citizen. At home
and [ abroad avc have comman/l?f^the
respect and admiration pf the world.
In the remotest corjiarST?f tho earth, an
""TS&eric?TTcitizW'knows and feels that he
has a government able and willing to pro?
tect him, and that no power on earth dare
molest him.
It is natural that they who thus reflect,
and remember the farewell advice of the
Father of his Country, that union and lib?
erty, are inseparable, who knows from his?
tory in all ages, the horrors of civil war,
and-the dangers of revolution to liberty
and, civil government, should wish and
earnestly desire the perpetuity of the Be
. public, under which they live so happily.
"With such, one may well reason and ar?
gue without giving offence, and ask for a?
_calm and dispassionate determination be?
fore they decide on breaking up their
Government, and running the hazard of
forming a better one. ,.. .
The probability is that the. Black Re?
publican candidate will be elected Presi?
dent of the United States. It is a griev?
ous misfortune, and one to bo deeply la
^JhentecT by every citizen of tho South.
?"Bujgit must bo remembered, that the
Southern States will havo brought this
misfortune, grievous as it may be, on
themselves, by their own divisions and
party strifes. ? It was predicted at the
time, and the South forwarned of the im
. pending danger.,
In tho unfortunate disruption of the
Democratic party at Charleston, which I
did all that I could do, amidst the hisses
and assaults of an excited community, to
prevent, I saw the triumph of the Black
Republicans in the ensuing Presidential
election. I stated in a letter written and
published immediately afterwards, that the
Southern States would be divided into
three bitterly hos tile factions, that a black
republican- President would be elected,
and that these petty disvisions of
tho South would' utterly defeat a
union of the South^ in any scheme of
disunion. It is true in religion and in
politics, that the nearer sects and parties
approach without assimilating, the more
bitter they are towards each other.
If the scceding"members of the Charles?
ton Convention had retained their scats
in that body, Breckinridge and Lane, or
others equally acceptable to the Southern
States, would have been the nominees of
the Democratic party for President and
? Yice-President. 5t was a well ascertained
fact that Douglas, couid not, under any
contingency, get the two-thirds vote re?
quisite to a nomination. After a number
of ballotings, tho friends of Judge Douglas
would have cast their votes for Hunter,
Breckinridge, Dickinson, or some one else
acceptable to tho South. But after the
withdrawal of a portion of the Southern
Delegates, they became excited and more
disposed to adhere to their candidate.
The adjournment to Baltimore was for
the purpose'of giving the friends of Judge
Douglas, in the seceding States, an oppor?
tunity of sending Delegates in place of
ttiose who widre^. This fact I know.
? ? Lincoln m} be elected President in
consequencf|bf this disruption of the
Demoeraticgirty. He will be elected by
one-third o?he- voters of tho United.
States! T\vj|hirds~ of tho votes polled
will actually^ cast -against him S And
yet he will ^elected by the 'division of
the opposition i'Ee will barely get a^"ma?
jority of the ,non-slaveholding votes, und
none in tho slaveholding States. Iu Haw
York, Pennsylvania, Jersey, Con?
necticut, Illinois and Indiana, he will not
receive a majority of the votes, but carry
thoso States, iiudj perhaps Oregon and
some others, by a plurality vote. Bell'
and Everett yiH carry Maryland,. Vir?
ginia, North Carolina, Tennesseo, Ken
tueky, and jjerhaps Louisiana, and
Florida. Brcgnnridgo and Lane will
have South Calplina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Ar^nsas, California, and, per?
haps, Missouri.!^ uisiana and Florida, if
the first is notliveh to Douglas,' and the
two latter to Bll.
If elected Liitoln will come into power
with two-thirds I the peopfe of the United
States opposedito his Administration!
This ought, in slue measure, to appease
the apprehension of those who affect to
be so much alarifcd for the South. Iiis
Administration till commence a weak
one, and it is noiprobable that he can,
backed by one-thkl of the people of the
the United State, seriously injure and
oppress the othcrjwo-thirds.
But .we have anther check on Instabil?
ity to do; misc-hif. A majority of the
Senate of the Unfed States will be op?
posed to his Administration, and no bill
can be a law till itreceives the sanction
of the Senate. THs majority in the Sen?
ate cannot be charged for several years
to come. It is ddibtful, too, as to the
majority of the Hope of Representatives.
More than likely tie next elections will
give a majority of the members bf the
House in opposition to the Black Repub?
licans. < This is tcibo inferred froni the
popular vote of tw>thirds against Lincoln
in the':Presidential election.
Mi\ Fillmore became President of the
United States with a worse record than
Lincoln has on the slavery question, and
he went out ofoflke a very popular man
at the South! He signed tho Fugitive
Slave Bill, which Lincoln is . phwjg'?1"'^
enforce. Ho prevented l^^shed.and
civii"war in NewXexicoand Texas, which
Taylor was t? inflict on.the coun
try^-'According to Senator Benjamin's
speech, Lincoln does not stand pledged to
the unconditional repeal of the Fugitivo
Slave Law, or against the admission of
any more slave States inio the Union, or
to theWbolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia, or to the prohibition of the
slave trade between the States, or to the
acquisition of more slave territory^
Judging from the course pursued by
other Presidents, and that policy which
usually governs politicians whilst in pow?
er, instead of doing aaiy rash, violent or
unconstitutional ac^fo injure or o?end
those opposed to him, it is likely Lincoln
will pursuo a very cautious, politic and
wise course towards the South. It can?
not be in nature of any'man elevated to
the Presidency to wish to see the Govern?
ment broken up under his administration,
the Republic dismembered and the coun?
try plunged into- a civil war. Very likely
his great effort will be to acquire popular?
ity in tho Southern States, and appease,
their opposition by a rigid adherence to
the Constitution and respect for the rights
of the South. It is not at all improbable
that the South may find more favors un?
der the Administration of Lincoln than
they have under any Democratic Admin?
istration. It may be that " Old Abe"
will go ovtt of office quite a favorite with
the Southern people! At least wo should
give him a trial.
The election of a President, in confor?
mity with the Federal Constitution, is no
ground whatever for breaking up the Re?
public, no matter how bitterly opposed to
him we may be. We must wait and de?
cide on his acts and measures : nothing
less will justify us in the eyes of the world,
or in opinions of our own people. To in?
culcate tho notion that a portion of tho
citizens of a Republic may break up and
revolutionize their Government, because
they have been defeated in their choice of
a Chief Magistrate, is the repudiation of
the first principles of'republicanism, and
sanctioning that which leads inevitably to
lawless despotism. ?
Before any such movement is put on
foot, it would be well for Messrs. licitt,
Orr and Boyco to .ascertain and sec
whether such a measure is likely to be
acceptable to tlieir party generally; and
especially whether the friends of Bell, the
Union candidate?whether the supporters
of Judge Douglas in Greorgia, Alabama
and Louisiana, and the adherents of G"cn.
Houston in Texas?will co-operate with
their opponents, the Breckinridge party
South, in such a movement. To1 suppose,
so, shows a credulity beyond my ?compre?
hension.
' - Then the question arises, is it proper to?
South Carolina to take the initiative again
in a disunion movement ? Twico already
has she failed, after mounting boldly to
the precipice, and looking ovefl >
Nor has she won any laurels for wisdom,
and statesmanship in these threatened
disruptions of her Government. Virginia
was so discourteous as not even to accept
of our invitation to meet in consultation
on her own-wrongs and injuries.. Col.
Ott thinks South Garolina should not act
without Georgia, Alabama and [Mississip?
pi. . Tho Colonel knows very well that he
is perfectly safe in waiting for Georgia.
He would not bo more so in waiting for
i Maryland t>r Kentucky.
This agitation of disunion is calculated,
too, to damage .seriously the prospects of
Breckinridge and Lane in the Southern
States, as well as in tho Northern States.
Bell's party and Douglas' friends North
and South will make capital out of it, to
the injury of Breckinridge.
I go for Bcckinridge in this contest, with
all my heart, and will say. under existing
circumstances, that it shows a want of wis?
dom or fealty to tho South for any South?
ern man to oppose him. Nothing can be
more injudicious than tho starting of a
Douglas ticket in any Southern State.?
Its only tendency will be to give the vote
of tho State to Bell, and paralyze the
strength of the South. Nor do I think
any Breckenridge ticket should be started
in a non-slaveholcling State.- Its effect
will be to give the vote of the State to the
Black Republicans. It would be much
better to have Douglas in the Presidency
than Lincoln. But it is almost certain
that i;:' two Democratic tickets are run in
the Northern States that Judge Douglas
will.not carry a single State.
It was a great misfortune and a great
wrong that Judge Douglas' friends should
have urged his claims so strongly as they
did in the Charleston Convention. The
South was en titled to the President. The
election depended on the South. She had
the Democratic strength in a great de
gree. The South was prejudiced against
Douglas, and no doubt many of the Sece
dcrs had rather sec Lincoln elected.*.
The Charleston Convention ought to
have been composed of National Demo?
crats, and then there would have been no
division in our ranks. Mr. Yanccy and
his friends had no more right to a seat in
the Convention than Mr. R. B. Rhctt and
his friends had. They stood on the same
platform, and I thought and so said to inv
Convention Mends, that they evinced un?
necessary squcamishncss after following
Mr. Yanccy out of the Convention, to re?
fuse the proffered lc:i?1 ?jf^ "M>. '.viwi i utter
_^ilrf^^m^^tbility, Mr. Boyce, in
1 1851, exposed the folly of separate State
action and secession. AVhy he has now
changed I am at a loss to know. It would
be well for him to tatcc up some of his old
arguments and answer them, lie might
find, it hard to do. But still, until tliey
are answered, the}* must have their influ?
ence on the public mind.
Col. Orr declared in the Charleston Con?
vention and sealed it with an oath, "so
help me God, whilst the Federal Govern?
ment is administered on Constitutional
principles, neither my hand or my voice
shall ever be raised against this Union."
New the election of Abo Lincoln will vio?
late no Constitutional principle, or provis?
ion of tho Constitution. "When such vio?
lation occurs under Lincoln's ad minis t ra?
tion, the whole South may be united, and
policy and patriotism dictate that we
should wait till the violation occurs.
It may be that I am mistaken in suppo?
sing slavery to be out of the reach of the
assaults of its foes, and if so I will bo as
ready as any one to defend it at the sac?
rifice of the Union itself, as much as I
value the Union. But I am not willing
i to act prematurely when there is no dan?
ger. As to dissolving the Union on a
mere abstraction, the right tojearry slaves
?wherever slaveholders desire to carry
them, and where they would bo worthless
if carried. I am opposed to it now and for?
ever; and shall endeavor to defend the
r ights of the South in the Union, where I
think they have been heretofore properly
defended, and may still be defended if the
South is true to herself and united in that
defence.
That all who were disunionists should
have rejoiced at tho breaking up of the
Democratic Convention in 'Charleston is
very natural. They saw in that move?
ment the destruction of the National De?
mocracy and their defeat in the coming
Presidential election. They saw in the
future the election of a Black Republican,
and knew what a powerful lever it would
be in their hands to wield against the
Union. But that any friend to the Fed
oral Union and lover of the peace and
quiet of the Republic should have rejoiced
at such a dire calamity is most amazing.
The Democratic part}' had been the friends
of the South and the rights of the States,
the true supporters and defenders of tho
Constitution, and the only just and wise
rulers of the Government from its founda?
tion to tho present time. Under their
administration the boundaries of the Re?
public have been enlarged by the acquisi?
tion of Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Califor?
nia and Oregon. The rights and honor
of tho Republic had been gallantly defen?
ded in a war with Great Britain and with
Mexico. How an}' patriot could chuckle
and grin over the death of this glorious
old party, is more than I can compre?
hend.
But it docs seem that, for years past,
there has been at the South a systematic
organization to weaken and drive from
tho Democratic party all who stand by it
and fight for it in the Northern States.?
Their aim & to sectionalizo parties, as the
Black Republicans have done at the
! North! as the Federalists did during the
tho war of 1812!?all of which "Washing?
ton denounced as fatal to the Republic,
fatal to our- independence, and fatal to lib?
erty itself:
Disunion?a word of horrible import to
the illustrious sages of the Republic, one
which was not to be breathed by "Wash?
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson?is now in the mouth. of even'
flippant politician, certain newspaper^ edi?
tors, half-educated school-boy, and un?
thinking mortal. It is the high road to
office and popularity, and ho who dares
repeat the djdng behest of tho Father of
his Country is branded a traitor. The
same feeling is manifested in the Northern
States by the Black Republicans and
John Brown Sympal lasers. "Well may it
be said, we have fallen on evil times; and
"those whom the gods intend to destroy
they fiist make mad."
To consummate this folly it is proposed
for South Carolina 1:0 march out of tho
Union solitary and alone. That if let
alone wo shall do very well, and if an
attempt is mado to force us back the
South will rally to the rescue. "Wo had
better not depend on being let alone if
we oppose the collection of duties. "We
may withdraw our .'Members of Congress
and no- one will disturb us. In 1851,
President Fillmore did not manifest any
disposition to let us alone. lie sent
troops to Charleston. Gen. Jackson did
the same in 1831. We must not, there?
fore, expect to be let alone. "Will the oth?
er Southern States rally to our assistance
in doing that which they themselves
think it advisable li ot to do ? Would it
not be moro prudent to get them to unite
with us beforehand ? And if they will
not unite in our action, for us to stay with
them till some act is dono which will
unite the South ?
There is no doubt at all if the whole
South were united in any course, they
could take care of themselves in any
emergency;. The proper course for South
Carolina to pursue is to say to the other
Southern States she is ready to act with
them, and to await their action, whatev?
er that may be. This will prevent her
playing before high Heaven a ridiculous
farce or a bloody tragedy.

Davic. Crockett.
';Be sure 3-011 are right, and then go
ahead," is a wise maxim attributed to one
whose life was a continual illustration ol
the sentiment. Every one has. heard ol
" Davy Crockett," the immortal back?
woodsman of Ten: lessee?the''crack shot,"
of the wilderness?eccentric but honest
member of Congress?the " hero of the
Alamo"?yet few* know his origin, his
carl}' struggles, and the general current
of his life. History has but a few words
concerning him, but tradition is garrulous
over his many deeds.
David Crockclt was born at the mouth
of the Limestone River, Green County,
East Tennessee, on the 7th of August.
1787. His father was of Scotch-Irish de?
scent, and took % prominent part in tlie
war for Independence. It was all a wil?
derness around David's birth-place, and
his son communed with nature in its un?
broken wilderness, from the beginning.
He grew to young manhood without any
education, from books other than he re?
ceived in his own rude home. When only
seven years of age. David's father was
stripped of most of his property by fire.
Ha opened a tavern in Jefferson County,
where David was his main help until the
age of twelve years. This vagrant life,
full of incident and adventure, suited
young Crocket :, but becoming dissatisfied
with his employer, he deserted him, and
made his way back to his former home.
After tarrying there a year, he ran away,
joined a cattle merchant, and at the end
of the journey in Virginia, ho was dis?
missed, with precisely four dollars in his
pocket. For three years he Avas '?-knock?
ing about," as he expressed it, and then
he sought his father's home again. He
now enjoyed the advantages of a school
for a few weeks, and finally, after several
unsuccessful lcvo adventures, he married
an excellent girl, and became a father in
1810, when he was twenty-four years of
age. He settled on the banks of Ell
River, and was pursuing the quiet avoca?
tion of a farmer in Summer, and the more
stirrjng one of hunter in Autumn, when
war was commenced with Great Britain
in 1812, Crockett was among the first to
respond to.Gen. Jackson's call for volun?
teers, and tim er that brave leader ho was
engaged in several skirmishes and battles,
lie received the commission of Colonel at
the close of the war, as a testimonial of
his worth. I is wife had died while he
was in the army, and several small chil?
dren were left to his care. The widow of
a deceased friend soon came to his aid,
and in his second wife he found an excel?
lent guardian for his children. Soon af?
ter his marriage he removed to Laurens
County, where he was made Justice of
the Peace, and was chosen to represent
the District in the State Legislature.
Generous, full of fun, possessing great
shrewdness, and " honest to a fault,"
, Crockett was. very popular in the Legis?
lature and among his constituents. In
the course of a few years he removed to
Western Tennessee, where he became a
famous hunter. With the rough back?
woodsmen there he was a man after our
own hearts, and he was elected to a scat
in Congress in 1828, and again in 1830.
When the Americans in Texas commenced
their war of independence, towards tho
close" of the year 1835, Crockett hastened
thither to help them, and at the storming
of the Alamo, at Bexar, on the 6th _ of
March, 1836, tbafc eccentric hero was
killed. Ho was then fifty years of age.
