' To the ittzen? of Greenville District.
Felmtw Cm*ws?By * portion -of yotir
own nnmlnir, w? have been requested to od\
drees you on a subject .of Vit*1 ' interest.?
Soinc sf you have less means nMnfnrmatlon
tiiMtn -others: we thercfoi-e us# grout plainiicm
off speech.
Years ago the Stat# of South OarnTitia entered
into a eutnf act with other States for the
accomplishment of certain purposes, equally
important to them all. That compact is
known a# tho Constitution of the United
St.- tea The purposes of that compact were
" to form a more perfect union; to establish
jnstico; insuredomest-ic tranquility; promote
tho general welfare; and seenra tho blessings
of lihefly to ourselves mid our posterity.T*
These ware wise and noble purpo
sea, mkJ tha Union of States to accomplish
them wis a wise and " glorious Union.1'
But in the hands of wicked and even of
foolish men. the wisest and best- thiags are
liable to be abused. It has liven to here.?
The Union s?f the Southern Slates with the
Northern has been the occasion of serious
evils to lhe Southern States?and is ahout
to he made the occasion of trundles* disaster
and ruin, unless tha Southern State* apply
the remedy. We are not denying that
the South has. in common with the North,
derived advantages from this Union, particularly
In the earlier years of onr history- ?
But in tho case of the South these advents
g. s are outweighed hy the disadvantages to
which sho has been subject, and they are
the mere dust of the balance in comparison
with the mischiefs site mn?t yet experience,
unless she take# the remedy in her own
hand. The system of taxation under which
wt- have been living, has given to the North
annually the benefit of millions upon millions
drawn off from the profits of Southern
labor. By a high tariff they have shut off
the fair competition, in our own market?, of
those who buy our product#, andlhns they
have m?de for themselves a market for their
manufactures, where.they have been rceelving
such prices ae have made them rich ?
This is the secret of Northern wealth.?
Their large cities, their immense mitnufaclnr
ing establishments, their enriching commerce,
never would have existed but fot
their connection with the South. This hat
drawn to them an Immense population fronr
_ abroad?and so they have been swimming
on npon a tide of wonderfbr prosperity.?
Meanwhile, they have forgotten the handi
h that fed tlirm.and after having rcfuecd t<
listen to the complnirita of the South, the]
have come to fee) for her a contempt wldcl
tltey express through their press nod thei
pulpits, Mid the men who apeak fef then

Sooth, she " esn't be kicjted out of th

Boston paper recommends a certain treai
mcnt of Roolh Carolina, in aader that ah
may know "nrbom *h? belong* to" and
leading Pennsylvania rnper proposes "I

4 insolence of ill-gotten gain. It. is like th
effrontery of the highwayman who rifles It
victim, and when ho complains, smites hii
^ in the faoe. *Tt? true these things has

the Bible, has rooted iUelf into the
Northern mind. It U teuglitin their schoolti
and eollogea; if la eirfbroed in their pidpUa;
it ia the Qospel of Northern fanaticism.?>
That false opinion la, that every man la
born free and equ?l. The* Abettors of this
dootrino differ somewhat in the extent of
the inforeuce they draw from it. Some of
them, (the linoat honest and- consistent of
the olaaa,) seeing it is virtually contradict
ed by the Constitution of the United States,
(for that does not treat slaves as free, and
equal to wltat men,) denounce the Coostitotlon
as a " convenant with dcatli and an
agreement with helland, therefore, they
arc for dissolving the Union because it Is
founded, in their judgment, on a rotten
Compact. The larger claes, however, arc
for holding on to the Constitution, bceausc,
by the use of their power under it they can
filially abolish sin very. Give thorn the Presidency
and ita. patronage; the millions of
money it has to dispense; th* control of
the Post-Office, die.; asd in a few bricl years
the slave States bordering on tho North
will have to abandon slavery as tbe source
to thcni of endless vexation and loss, through
the interferenee of Abolition emissaries,
v.lrile no new States will he admitted but
suoh ae are free?fcnd then, by a rote of Congress,
thdir great iden will be carried out?
universal emancipation will be. declared.?
Then every negro in South Carolina; and in
every other S<*? them State, will be his own
master; nay, more thani that, will l>e the
equal of every one of yoit If you are tame
enough to submit. Abolition preachers will
be at hand to consummate the marriage of
your duughters to black husbands! Nay,
nayl we beg pardon of South Carolina women
for such a suggestion. If their fathers
and their brothers have not the spirit to
break loose from a government whose elected
Chief-Magistrate aims to establish such a'
stntc of things, the daughter* of South Carolina
would die Tor shame at the duhouor
of tire men.
Fellow citizens, this is no picture of fan*
ey. It is a stern reality, which must arise
in tho future, unless the infatuation of the
Northern mind is checked by a miracle, or
Viitess you yourselves apply the ternary.
Truth hat its natural limitations; error has
none, A conscientious errorist is the most
hbpeless subject with which you can treat.
A conceited errorist, especially if prosperity
feed his conceit, is the next bn<l case.
John Crown and Henry Ward Ileechef, the
one nn infidel and the other a Christian
preacher,-belong to the first rliu. No de
feat, not even d>nth itself, would chung*
the opinion of such men as these, and many,
many such, are in the ranks of Northern J
Abolitionism. The other class is the more
numerous. They glory in being wise.?
They claim to he political philosophers, or
pride themselves on following In the wake
of such.- They utter and echo the veriest
, inanities-in a style befitting discoverers or
' truth. Calmly ensconced in the sense of
' their own security,' they give curreucy to
theoretical opinions which tliey cannot but
see must damage others at a distance, without
sufficient foresight to perceive the reaction
of their own mischief on themselves,
> like a silly boy who sets fire to a neighbor's
haystack, and fljirg to his father's house,
> feels that he is safe. when the door closes,
until the lurid flame licks its hot tongue
I against hit own bed curtain. The North is
i full of these shallow philosophers, a famous
I New Yorker at their head. Of these men
- there seems to be no hope except from the
i actual experiment of their sc-hemea If the
> first clnsa labor under nn incurable malady,
f like disease of the heart, wherein Uie pnI
tlent can't be cured, the other labor under

lie. It will hereafter meet you luridly and *
resolutely here. [Washington.] *.

Kansas; it will invade you soon In Delft c
ware, Mflrylhnd, Virginia, MissohH nhd g

demand universal emancipation. Whether s
the consummation shall ho allowed to take j
effect with needful and wise precautions t
against sudden change, or be hurried on by t
violence, is all (hat remains for yooe to de- c
eidc." The other representative of this i
party is a Senator from Massachusetts. In <
speaking of what lie calls (he elilve oiigar c
cAy, he says: " Surely-, then, In its retreat, I
(matting under the indigntttioh of fth arous- t
od people, and the concurring judgment of <
tho civilized world, Unmet die > it may be ^

Meanwhile, all good omens are otirs. The t

with a Republican President in j>ower *

a territory and spurning slavery, will be t
Wehrotrved into -our plural unit, and joining

even the most torpid nt the South) he will i
move on with a cold steadiness of purpose i
towards wthe projected end. lie nnd St- I

which would offend those who are tame or
blind enough to submit nt nil. Tiio tiger
hne no " overt acts " before the final spring, i
Only let him get his springing place, nnd
he crouches still nnd quiet as innocence itself.
The nnncondti, once wrapped about
its victim, does not arouse the tated beast
by unnecessar}- constriction, until its wnsted
breath makes its destruction us convenient
as it is sure. Such is the fate, fellowcitizens,
which our Abolition enemies, (longer
to call them brtthren would be a bitter
irony,) design for us. And yet we, poor
simple souls, are to wait for "overt acta!"
As slmrcrs with you, in the obligations and
the destinies of South Carolina, we sny to
ypu, stand up for your rights, nnd through
you, through your votes, let our beloved
commonwealth declare herself dissevered
from all political connection with men who
have "broken the covenant."
The Constitution yon have striven to
keep sacred, but the States of the North
have trampled it in the dust. It was established
"to promote jn?tice.n Abolitionism
has under its protection rubbed the
South annually of hundreds of thousands,
and would use it to rob the South of property
worth four hundred millions of dollars.
It was established "to secure domestic
i tranquility/* What is the domestic trnn
