The Chairman having announced that \
^en. W. K. Kaelcy and Rev. Jas. C. Fnrman i
iad been requested to address the meeting, I
Sen. Essie? ascended t he stand and address- 1
id the meeting in substance a* follows: i
P The Government of the United Slates is \
controlled hy popular majorities. The ma- i
orily exercise the sovereign authority.? <
flip majority is king. So long as the popu
nr mind was not divided by sectional quee- t
ion?so long aa the governing majority had <
la raniificati_one- throughout the whole
oil"try, and permeated alike each section, i
leiiher section bad anytliing to fear, be- ]
use it represented alike the interest of
taali. Neither bad the minority any cause 1
>f fear, for the majority not only represent- i
d the section through which it was scatter- <
id, but from the nature of socity lints ait- f
imed, the mojority might and would shift i
rum one party to another; so that the mflority
of to day would be Clio majority of i
o-uioiTow. To-day Georgia and Maasnchu- |
elts would be found voting togetiier rn tho '
ncjoiity, And South Carolina and New j
Inmpehire voting together in the minority. '
ind yet, the minority thus constituted, had j
lothing to (car from the hostility of the j
najority so constituted, becnuse Georgia ]
ould not betray the interests of Sonth Ca- ?
olios without deserting Iter own ; neither
ouW Massachusetts betray New Hampshire "
rithout proving untrwe to herself. But 1
hould tlie country become seclionalized, '
tid one section, because ot a larger area of J
erritory, its capacity to sustain a denser j
opulntion, and because of th? greater hondgenotisncss
of its population, breome the ^
eat of a fixed and permanent majority, it
t one* becomes Apparent, tbat though the (
.11 ms of government may be pcrmittetl to ,
emain the same In its relations to a sectional
rrd hopeless minority, (he whole spirit f j
lie Government will have undergone a to- j
*1 change, and as great a revolution Will , (

It is clear, then, that *11 peqplos cannot Uve ]
a .d prtmpar under the same Government, no
mora Am *11 men ean comfortably wear i
tlie some coat. And it follow* aa a further
sequence from those, that should two people,
differing from eaoh other in gonitis and
spirit, in Interest, in occupation, in habits of
thought and habits of living, in social iny
stitutlons, and in all whish makemt^s
individuality of national ehM|^ttl\nappon
Ajbe placed under the sgve Government,
th^mwnot long ripW equal in #> . There
tauet bccoftblVtt' jarring and dieeord, and
sobner ov Inter cne must withdraw or become
subject to the other. Tbc_ttro great
aeotioae of the Union contain two distinct
peoples, differing from each other in spirit,
in intir-*h in habits, In social institutions,
and in all which iv> to make up individual
character of nations, tuul so widely differ
ing that they nre now arrayed against each
other in "11 the bitter hostility which the
discord of antagonistic institutions and opposing
iqferests lias engendered, nurtured
and matured.
The sectionalism or the Union, then, is
complete, and can never lie obliterated until
the institutions of one section have been
destroyed, nnd its individuality merged nnd
lost in the other. There is an "irrepressible
conflict between the North .and the
South."
In this struggle between the two great
sections of the Union, which of the two is
likely to h? overcome and finally absorbed
by the other !
At the .formation of the Government, the
daveholding section was largely In the inaorlty
of States. But since that time she
iss silently, but with even, uninterrupted
>sce, retreated southward on her northern
rentier, and now the non-slavelioldlng sec- |
ion contains ? majority of votes, which
;ive to it entire control of the legislation
>f the country. Since the formation of%the
Government of new nnd unsettled territory,
he slave States have lost and the free States
aro acquired of tliem ?.000,000 square
dies of slave territory. And of that iintense
and beautiful empire stretching from
ie high plaihs of the Ilocky Mountain
idge over golden mountains and doVrn
iruugh fertile valleys to the blue waters of
I'eeiffc, thsy have appropriated to

of tlic country, the South lias become
tributary to the North, and annually pours
into her coffers sums exceeding in magnitude
any tribute which the rapacious tyranny
of any Knetrrn Monarch ever exacted of
i conquered people.
The UnfoB. then, h#? become hopelessly
icctionolired ; one section inust absorb the
>lhcr, and the South is the fniling section.
The address of Gen. Knsley was received
villi great applause. On its conclusion, Rev.
Dr. Furman ascended tha stand.
(A synopsis of the address of Rev. Dr.
Purma n had been promised to the Secretaries,
but was not received in time for pnbli stioa.

Frlfoio-Citizmi*?'The Impending crista is
upon ns?^submission or disunion is staring
us boldly in the face?which shall we
choose? Shall persons from abrond longer
sneer at us, and with (lie finger.of derisive
scorn point to Greenville as the submission
District of Soath Carotins, or shall we take
our place in the front ranks of Southern resistance,
and give of men and money freely,
to roll hack the tide of wild fanaticism
which is fast sweeping over our devoted
country! Before yon read this, Lincoln, the
Black Republican, will have bnen eleet.sd to
the Presidency af these United States ?
Will you quietly submit to bis inaugural ion
and on benrted knee present your petitions
to one who hates and spurns you, and who
is hostile to every tiling which you hold
dear on earth f or will you, with a patriotism
worthy the days of the Revolution, rise
in the majesty of your sovereignty, and declare
tlint you will not have this man rule
over you ? Tito citizeni of oilier wvlioni of
our State nrc awnke to the magnitude of
the interest* involved, nn<l arc determined,
rather Ihnn submit to the domination of
Black Republican rule, to burst asunder the i
hand* of a union which ha* long since failed
of Its object?proved obnoxious to the
South, and detrimental to the dearest interest*
which we posse**. And shall Green- ]
vills be fcehind her sister Districts in this 1
laudnblo undertaking! Shall not her cltl- |
tens be found boldly marching to the so- i
complishmsnt of their high destiny t Will
they not h? found giving aid nnd comfort to
llio building up of Southern independence?
" Delay* arc dangerous,n but why longer
delay f SlislI we wnit until the enemy ha*
hound us hand and foot? God forldd.
Had our ancestors cntise to resist, the unjust
nnd unequal taxations of Gftnt Britain!
Were ilt?y justified In appealing to arms to
assert their rights I 11ns subsequent history
sustained them in tlieir bold and innnly effort
to achieve that freedom, which they so
gloriously obtained, and which is so dear to
every Southern bosom? Unquestionably.
If their cause was just, how much more so
is ours?if tlieir provocation was sufficient,
how much greater is ours I Fellow-cltijnns
of Greenville, look the matter calmly in the
face, and tell me, wlmt. is to be the result of
the political agitation which is even now
shaking this Republic to its very center?
What mean the bowlings of those wild fanatics
at the Ifortli?their clamorous outcries
against our institutions? What means their
mat* meeting*, Wtde At cake attociation*, and
retolnlitrnt, breathing the spirit of fire and
sword against the South ? Its not.
with the vein phantom of hope, for there U I
no hope. Tho wnr for the extermination of :
1 every will toon have commenced. The 1
next enle that sweeps front the North, will j
bring to our cars tho loud hoennnaanf Mark
Uepnblienn triumph. Can we fudge the
future -orreetly, except hy the peat f Con
we judge of the line of policy to he ptircued
by n party, except by the Avowed
principles of itlenders? Judging, then,
the line of policy of this pnrty. l?v tho
nvowed principles of its standard benrer,
Lincoln, what, I ask, in tlio name of reason,
are we to conclude? That it intends to
make war upon the South until it shall be
able finally to abolish slavery altogether,
Lincoln declares openly, and proclaims to
the world, that this (jovernnient en>#ii>t ex
ist, hnIf five and half slave?that it must
be all free or all slave, and as slavery ean
not exist at the North, so it thall not exist
at the South. What is the programme l?y ,
which thia result is to be brought about ?
lie and hie hired minions are to ineite our S
