THE ARGUMENT Of- FAGTx ?; Tho following simple aria ou-tcio . ;?y of facta, is from a report presented at a late me. t- st ing of the citizens of Bibb county, Ga.. at Ma- w con. They must carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind, that the Northern people will never stop in their mad crusade upon the rights ai of the South short of the entire overthrow of 1,1 slavery, and the completo subjugation of the ni Southern people to the condition of abject vas- nl sals. Nothing can save them from the deep l'' degradation that awaits them, but the resump- ^ tion by the aggrieved States of the poweis del- ^ egated to the General Government, and the as- ^ serlion and maintainance of their sovereignty and independence.?Newberry SmtinrJ. "To prove that the non-slaveholding States ^ have for years, made war on the peace, happiness and safety of the South, 'let facts be sub- e' mitted to a candid world.' a ' They prohibited slavery Nortli of the Ohio, e where it had long existed in a territory ceded n to the Union by Virginia. a ^ "They abolished slavery in most of the Lou- J"' 1 -> ta?n)nrw hirirp onnuirh * jsiana purcnasc, uvn ? uomw, 0 ( to form twelve States, and left the South only j f enough for three.

"They have spent millions of money to in- I doctrinate the public mind of the world against 1 us, carrying us into the school house and into I the' church, to he pointed at and anathematized 1 as a polluted heaven-abandoned race.

The -Northern members will knew, in when they votid for the hill, that its execu tion would he resisted; or, if not resisted, tiie fugitive slaves coulu go into Canada, wheiv the Southern planter could not possibly reclaim them.

A 1-Tge mainiity of the people of \'o t1; arc i i f.vor of the measure, and the nail faction of suhinrssiouists at the South ould be prepared to smooth over and apolo ize for them. The general belief is that, so ir from ceasing their efforts, the abolitionists j ml free soilers are preparing for fresh move- i lents and agitation. The Richmond Examier says the fugitive slave law will be a nullity nless the North will execute it. If it is not one the most fearful consequences will ensue. . war of castes, a contest between blacks and 'hites, followed up by insurrections at the outh, it will be next to impossible 10 prevent, ' those who should maintain the law give way ) the organization of fanaticism. In Georgia, ic contest between the Whigs and Democrats, ir tho nccpnrlnncv in the convention, is spirit though from ail the indications there is not doubt but the Democrats, who are the southrn party will succeed. There are a great maV Whigs will not support their party in such contest, but will take ground for the South, ?gardless of the consideration of party lines. 'here are secret organizations in almost every ?ction of the South, and they are rapidly gain)g among the people. The North has ontirey mistaken the temperament of the Southernrs to suppose that they will submit.to the wre=ng of equal power from them; and when the Jnion is declared dissolved, which is the aim f the South openly avowed, they will see that ho spirit of fanaticism has been carried a step no far, and it will be impossible to heal the reach. But a few years wiil elapse before lie South will have sufficient manufacturing increst to be perfectly independent of the North; md as soon as that occurs the blow will be truck to sever the Union. Thev say they * * ' ? -- - lave all tiie elements ior ;t |in?sj?cn.ua nerce; and the Georgia Times vould rather laiin the aid of" a foreign power than submit to he dictation of the North. As soon as the he Georgia Convention and the .Mississippi legislature meet and make the movement, it vill Ik4 the signal for the other Southern States ind the whole will join in conceit of action, be resnl: of which must be felt, and will shake f not destroy, the pillars which support the sonfederntioo. The work is rapidly approachng its consummation, and the most critical uncture ever known in this country is almost lpon us. It can only be averted by just and Kjual legislation, fur the good of the whole, caving the institutions of the South to the poo)le of the South, who will not submit to any ndignity thrown upon them by a power of superior numbers. Tne day is at hand, and the watchword at the South is equality in all things ?or disunion ? iV. Y. Hrrald. Divisor* of tub Socth.?The following exrract from the concluding portion of the late speech of the Hon. David Hubbard, of Alabama, in Congress, contains truths sensibly and forcibly* expressed: Before 1 conclude, 1 wish to speak a woru :o Southern members, and tlirough t! em to he Southern people, upon the subject of our jwn misconduct; arising Troni our jealousies md rivals!.ips among one another. It is our >\vn divisions which have enabled the Northern section of the Union to encroach upon the iithl'ttnr' yC&Vs reirittlds ine or1 an ncideiit reported in history, where England lv.is trying to reduce Scotland to submission by inns. Sir William Waliace was the pat iotic eader of the Scots, and England, like our Northern opposer, had seduced many of the Scottish leaders into her arms. Robert Bruce tniong others. In these contests, it is related hat one day, after u hard fought battle, Bruce ;at down to his meal with the English nobles, vith his hands all hesineared with the blood of lis own countrymen slain in the battle; uoon iceing which, a haughty English earl could not lonceal his disgust. "Loos," said he, "at tiiat Scot: see how he cats his own blood." This usulling taunt, although true, cut Bruce to the lenrt. He could not eat another morsel, but [uiotly rose from the table without uttering a vord. That night Bruce joined the standard >fhis countrymen ; and never rested or slept juietly until every hostile foot had been driven iir beyond the "Scottish border." 1. sir, never hear a Southern man speak igaiiist his section of country, or read a Southru paper opposed to us, but 1 think that some ool, calculating Northerner, like the English lobleiiiau, is expressing his disgust "for the ellow who eats his own blood." When will every true-hearted Southerner, ike Bruce, leave the camp of the oppressor, nd join the standard of his own country?? Jntil then, the .North will neither regard our ights nor respect our feelings. Cotton Picking.?The following extraordinay statement of cotton picking is made on the utlioritv of (Jul. Phillip Cuny of Austin conny, and we are assured thai a number of other eutleinen could attest its accuracy if neccssay. It is to this efTect: the overseers of the lantalions of Dr. Peebles au'd Mr. Tippittmude licit of one hundred dollars, of having the isfest cotton picker, 'l'hey selected a cotton eld belonging to Col. Cuney to test the speed f their respective hands. The day was fixed pon and it was agreed that they should work I. ven hours. Three of the hands of Col. Cuv volunteered to pick against the hands who ere to decide the bet. The live hands com i ... .1. ?: i i. .1 .. . irnctni *?' mf oiuiiu mill aim wuint'u jhm iiic k'ven hours, and the result of the picking is as illows: IVoblo's negro man Edward picked 000 lhs.

George 125 " Boy Jclf 540 " Total amount picked hy the five hands 3IS4 muds, equal to about two hales of ginned i ot>ii, of 500 pounds each. If this picking can ' Iwat or even equalled, in any other State we loald like to see it done. ([inhesion yews, On. 19. 1 t I), r\ ennuni- i"ii r "t ''levolind h e ! . c ,11... i-. t ?) dull, s u.

Jeems is right. i X A Revolutionary Soldier. Mr. Ephraim Gandy, a resident of Darlington District, arrived at the age of one hundred and eight years, on the eleventh day of September last. He served through the Revolutionary War, and is yet living as a monument of the glorious past. He visited our town a few days ago, and was then in the enjoyment of good health, it is now quite unusual to see such a man, as there are but few left who lived and acted in the days that tried men's soul?. From that most excellent paper, the Fairfield Herald, wo copy a 4,list of blessings" which would result to the South front Disunion. We will keep the article standing and comment successively on each text. No. 1. "A more extended, purer and rational liberty, with greater harmony and good will among the members of the Southern C'ontederacv, than has ever existed between them under the present Union.'' This is one of the blessings of Disunion. And whv should "a more extended, purer and rational | liberty" tor th?* South be the result ? For various reasons. The Republican form of government, with the constitution untarnished,as it came fresh ?y.Vn b ?< '!- U is 'he best system of government tiie world iiaseve: known. With us these principles remain ore changed?with the North it is not the csp. Democracy has yielded to inobccracy. The grand and fundamental basis of our original liberty has been sapped by the flood of isms which have been introduced. An eternal tide of foreign emigrants liaie flooded their States?made up of those who have co sympathy with our institutions?who know nothing of the principles of self-government ?and wielding a vast power by the Elective Franchise, which seldom fails to follow a corrupt channel. From our governmental connection with these Stales we are alike with them, subject to this corrupting influence?this moth and blight to our liberties. But "greater harmony and good will among the States ol the. southern confederacy would foliow. This is of all things most to bs desired. "United we stand?divided we fall" were the words of tho ?* illustrious southern"? spoken then of all the States?when all tho Stales were equals. lie had just raised his voice, and fleshed his sword for secessionfrom our mother. Did ho live now, who so weak as to suppose he would not, lor wrongs which " would woo the curse of Heaven," do the same for secession from our brothers?good brothers. But the blessings of a complete Union on the part of the southern ( States would be sure to follow disunion. Ktnbark- j ed in one common cause?enlisted against one < common enemy?blessed with one common and ' peculiar institution?having a common commerce, common in population, and a common history?their union would be thorough and complete. No connection more than foreign with that part of our country which is only the remnant skeleton of the original fabric, we would be preserved from the inroads of those political parlies ivhich. like the plague of the East, delights itself most, in ruining the fairest cities. Then we hold, is in the outset, that disunion would bring to the ^outh UA more extended, purer and rational liberty, with greater harmony and good will among ? he States of the southern confederacy, than has 1 sver existed among them under the present Jnion." Mr. Qrayson's Pamphlet We have been waiting to see a copy of this 'amphlel before we said anything concerning it, iut as it seems that Mr. Grayson is not gffing to avor its with a copy, we will not rrriVip it. but i imply express our indignant disapprobation at .\ lis traitorous course. In an extract which wo el aw lie remarks that "a man is not hindered from st xpressing his opinion because he holds federal of- di re." Nor ivili his being a f. dern! officer prevent lliors from expressing their sentiments relative ^ > tlint opinion when expressed. "The duty of Vj te South to unconditional submission."

Mr. Grayson will meet his reward. If his course is a conscientious one, we can only 6ay we pity such a conscience. Submission Sheets. On our exchange list we have a number of submission papers, with paltry souled and coward hearted Editors, that would bow the knee before northern wrongs, and like whipped spaniels faw n at the feet of him who holds the rod. We never pick up one of these but we feel the most supreme contempt for their Editors. They remind us of a specimen of humanity we one saw.- He had done something amiss and a gentleman by gave him his cow-hide severely, and then rode of a- few steps? and alighted?he was bothered in finding a place to fasten his horse when this poor submission'si sneaked up and requested the privilege of holding his horse for him. The cowhide was of course the reward he got for his offer. How much more justly do those paltry souled submission, Clay compromise Editors deserve it. Conundrum. The Mercury has the following: Query. Why are the voters of Charleston District more true to their relations than io their country ? Answer. Because they stick to a-kiu (Aiken), and desert their homes (Holmes.) For the Journal. Messrs. Editors: It is strange, indeed, that the men who live now in the nineteenth century, who have the experience of those who lived in former ages to guide them, are still as inconsistent in their views and actions ns the antedehrvians were, if I may be allowed to go quite fir li.irlc fnr n pnir.nnriKnn "Touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing," is a command of one of the greatest Apostles who ever lived, since the advent of our Redeemer. Consequently men who pretend to recognize and obey the command must not even indirectly violate it. Now if I were a native and resident of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Providence, Hartford, Concord, or any other ol the Northern or New England cities or towns, where slavery is considered such a curse, and such a blight upon the fair fame of our "Glorious Union," I should prove my sincerity by abstaining from the use of sugar, coffee, rico, tobacco, or molasses; I would not wear cotton, or in any shape make use of any article produced by slave labor; this is the length to which the fanatics of the North will have to carry their morbid philanthropy, in order to prove that they are sincere. When wc hear that Messrs. Chase and Root, of Ohio, Hale, (liddings, Seward, and all the host of the Abolitionists and disturbers of the peace of our once nappy country, nave oeniea tnemseives . these comforts and luxuries, in order more fully to carry out their ideas of humanity, (?) then we shall believe tiiey have some feeling indeed for the blacks; but this inconsistency I am sorry to say is not entirely confined to the people of the North; for in 1848 a party in our own State, calling themselves "Taylor Democrats," showed their verdancy, and are now on the stool of repentance, looking as ridiculous as the loving swain who had planned an elopement, and when the appointed hour arrived waaeonfrouted by the Mamma instead of the daughter, (excuse the illustration) you know tiie result The old Hero of Buena Yjsta is gone, and with him be buried all his faults: hut who is left in his stead ? Millard Fillmore, than whom there is not a more hitter enemy to our institutions ; and as such, must he an enemy to the interest and well being of the country at large; I shall not here attempt to go into the merits of the Bill for the Admission of California as a State, it has been fully discussed ami the country knows its history, but I would ask, did not Mr. Fillmore so net ion an open violation of the. Constitution when he signed that Bill insi'ad of vetoing it? If men in high places will perjure themselves, what are we to expect from those who are aspiring to high places? let the political history of the last ten years answer. Let { Mr. Fillmore's Quixotic message to Congress, miii! flip li'Hi'r- nl'lii<i Snnirp ftunipl Wph^fpr. to Guv. Bull of Texas, answer. A stranger coming from any part of Europe would suppose that the United States Senute was composed of men of the highest tone of character; men of stern integrity; men who would sooner lay down their lifo than even to wink at a dishonorable action; that woolihlay aside every consideration of personal interest mid use every faculty God lias endowed theru with, to support and uphold the honor of their country, and the Constitution that made it a country; alas how sadly would he be mistaken; instead of the patriot-he would find the politician, seeking to promote bis own ambitious schemes; the demagogue, the fanatic, forgeting the wants and interests of their white constituents and brethren at home in their zeal for he negro far away from them; trying (as they iretend) to elevate the latter, against the ex) re seed law of nature, to the standard of the ormer; a theory too absurd to deserve a moncnts consideration. What philanthropists vould they be indeed were they to turn their ittention to their affairs at home, let Mr. "hight law" Seward get up a society for ridding the i'y of New York of all the pick-pockets, lorign convicts, abortionists, publishers and venlers of obscene books, papers, mock auctions, nd all the other villanics with which it abounds, hen begin with Philadelphia, then Boston, then n;.i, \4 m D ISIt V/IUIIUIHIIU, JilVA up .TJI^CIO.
