of producing <1 shock that might he fatal to them, by a premature announcement of their vltima'e object. But the time, it seems, is now arrived, when the veil can be fully raised and c their real intentions exposed to the public gaze, t without peril to thoir cause. A majority of the j American people, they now believe, will sanction t and sustain them in ope'nlv proclaiming the su* i v' ' a i! premacv of tiio r\auouai uuu-uiiih.ui, ( believing thus, they dare to denounce a State, t which bus signified her intention of dissolving j her connexion with the Union on the score of grievous wrong and insult, as guilt}/ of treason i t and rebellion. Turn it as we will, the long ex- ! t isting controversy between the Northern and I f Southern sections, is narrowed down to a di- j j root conflict between Consolidation on the one ( side, and St He's Rights on the other. This is , the great political battle we have now to light. [ South Carolina stands forth, the advocate and s exponent of State's flights?the Administration \ < at Washington, the advocate and exponent of! Consolidation. We earnestly ask all our fel- . low-c'tizcns, except, those mho belong to the cue- |, my, to consider the question in this light and j to determine their course accordingly. In rnaL-ln?T nn'excention here of "those who belong to .

We cannot subject ourselves j j to such humiliation.

And to these, we 1 again say, "arise, for the hour of trial is at t hand P' The principles, upon which our civil f liberties depend, are at stake. If you ask again, t "where is the danger?" we answer, it is from t this spirit of Consolidation, which now threa- . tens to sweep a way, as with a besom of de- J struction, the only safeguards of our Freedom, | the Sovereignty and Independence of theStates.

Better for us then, that we had never | realized the blessings of Freedom. Better for us, that we had never thrown off the British yoke. As British subjects, the payment of moderate imposts would have secured to us at ; least the enjoyment of our homes, our families and all the social pleasures which spring therefrom. As subjects of Northern Rapacity and Fanaticism, our all would be lost. Our homes would become as a howling wilderness?our land would be inundated by myriads of unprincipled adveutures and plunderers?our wives . and our children would be exposed to the awful riolence of triumphant demons?even our property might he confiscated to gratify the insatiable lust of power and wealth. And those of us, who would not wear the chains of the 1 oppressor, would be driven forth from our 1 homes, penniless wanderers upon the earth, strangers in a strange land, "with none so poor 1 to do us reverence." When the ancient Jews were led into their long exile, "they sat down < by the waters of Babylon ana wepi wnen uiey i remembered Zion."

Mr. Cob!;- bein<; now fairly before the people f Georgia for their suffrages as Governor of he State, it becomes important for them to be nformed of his true position upon those imporant questions which now so deeply agitate the >ublic mind. The most momentous issues are uvolved in the result of the approaching elec;.*ti if will antlmritntivelv announce the .. ... J >osition of this State oil the great questions of State's Rights and State sovereignty, and will xercisc a powerful influence on the future desiuy of the South and of the Union. Georgia rom lier political weight in the Confederacy, rom her great interest in slavery, and her ceural position in the South, may almost be rejarded as the arbiter of the fate of the Southsrn people, llence the vast importance that she should give a wise, just and patriotic decision. If Mr. Cobb is to be judged by the sentiments j ind opinions attributed to him, on the powers j >f the General Government in his late speeches 11 this city and Savannah, as reported by the fournnl and Messenger and Republican, he is i Consolidationist, and the last man, at a crisis like the present, who ought to he invested with the chief Executive authority of the State. If our interpretation of the reports of these speeches be correct, .Mr. Cobb does not believe hat a State has the righl to secede for any lause without committing treason and rebellion.

We hope the people will call him out on this I mint. They have a right to demand a direct ind unequivocal reply on this absorbing subect, from every one seeking their suffrages, and ive trust it will be fearlessly exercised. The controversy between South Carolina ind the General Government is not one of her own seeking, neither does it concern herself done. It is as much a contest between Geor ;ia and Alabama with the North, as it is of S. Carolina. Whatever differences of opiuion Iherc may be with regard to the action of the utter State at this time, it is impossible in the! rery nature of things that the neighboring: States should side with the Federal Government, 1 ind aid in her subjugation, without sealing their i )wn doom.

A SLAVE CASK IN CLEVELAND. The Cleveland Herald of .May Hist, has the following account of a slave's refusal to leave acr mistress: Yesterday Miss Minor, a lady frpm Louisi- , una, who in company with her uncle was stop. ' ping at the New England, was cited to appear , before Judge Atkins to show cause why she restrained the liberty of Mary Bryant, a slave j woman who was with her. Miss Minor did j not appear hut said Mary was atnueriy 10 go j where she pleased. The Judge declared Ma- i ry free, but she insisted on going back to her i mistress whom she had attended from infancy.! The colored people who had been active in the i matter were exceedingly chagrined at the j result. We-were not present, but are informed that1 the Judge wasted much breath in expatiating to the servant on the blessings of that freedom which she did not seem to desire, and in persuading her to profit by his decision. At evening the New England Omnibus conveyed Miss Minor's family and Mary Bryant, to the Empire State. A crowd of negroes, some of whoine had been heard to say that the slave should not leave the city, gathered about the gangway, and, as she attempted to [ pass on board, one of them caught h'or by the I J'-ess. Mr. Clark Warren, Deputy Marshal,1 rmiiMed him to desist, and, fearing the "cane" | lie did so, ami she went on boatd. A stout lie-' ^ro then stepped forward and said, "you are an | ollicer of the law, this is the law of the land, but there is a law of God." "Yes," replied 1 Clark, "and if you don't leave this spot, you'll I feel the grace of God over your head from my ; cane." The advocate of "higher law," moved liis boots speedily. Mr. Minor tendered Mr. Warren an eagle for the service rendered, which, is he had only done what Cleveland oflicers always will do?protected strangers from annoyinceand insult, was very properly declined. The Empire State proceeded on her way with the woman who had the good sense to prefer the guardianship of those whose professions would furnish but scanty raiment, food or comfort.

I Tiie Spaniards have carried into e/Tect their | threatened chastisement of the people and Sul- ' tan of Suloo, hut attended with a great sacrifice of human life, without compassing any ul- ' timate object. The particulars of the fall of ! this nest of pirates is interesting. Owing to the ' effect of strong currents and other contrelempls, 1 the corvettes Villa del Bilbao and Bilbaino ' both grounded on a coral reef to the eastward 1 of the island of Pangasinan, when the former < vessel commenced malting 20 feet of water an ' hour. Both vessels were extricated, and on the 28th the expedition sighted Suloo. Every preparation had been made to offer a most formid- ' able resistance. i A general order having been issued announ- ; cing the [dan of attack, the disembarkation of i the troops commenced early on Feb. 28. The i shores, forts and houses are described as crow- I (led with natives eager tc begin the fray, and I three of them were so impetuous as to rush on ( the first column of troops; two of them were shot, while the third threw himself upon a sergeant, whom he slew with a lance. The first drawing of Spanish blood heated the imagination of the troops, and the assailant fell amid a shower of balls. Save this incident, the troops ' marched on regardless of the fire of the enemy ; their advance in regular order, notwithstanding the harrowing influence of the guns, astonished the Suloos. In the meauti ne, the steamers and i , brig of war opened a brisk and effective fire on tlie fortresses, doing much execution ; the cor- ! vettes anchored on the right, and discharged j bombs and grenades in such parts of the town j where musses of natives arc seen. The sue- j cess of the firing was mainly attributable to the ' circumstance of the engineer oflicers seating themselves on the masts, from whence they ( took the angles of the fort, &c., and gave instructions for the elevation of the guns, with a degree of accuracy and precision not otherwise attainable. The fire directed to the left ceased 1 about mid-day; this division was under the personal command of the Governor-General, i who made an assault on Fort Daniel, regarded by the Suloosas the strongest in the place. On the right the firing was kept up till hall-past one. In advancing to the assault of Fort Daniel, the troops bared their breasts and pressed on. The fire from the forts is said to have been incessant and tremendous, and luc resistance offered extremely desparate; every inch of ground was disputed amidst cries of " \ iva la Reina" on the one hand and the war yell on the other. All their hope of security lay on Fort Daniel; here the light was maintained, j the daughter fearful, each ia succession pos- j scssiug themselves of the p'aiv, but eventually j the .Suloos were expelled. The .Spanish flag i was hoisted on the fortress by Father Fascual lbauez, a priest of the order of Reeoletos, who paid for his daring by being slain. The assailants on the right had little to overcome; the Sultan's and other Ibrls in that direction had been abandoned. The Soltan in escaping from his Ibrt, accompanied by his Datoos and a large force of tSidoos, encountered t!ir> right division, which appears to have been panic struck, at all events, the officers were, and two colonels immediately alter battle placed in arrest, and will he tried by a court martial for cowardice.

The emotions and thoughts of infancy and youth are of the Present. There is no Past to those to whom all Nature is both strange and beautiful. The infant beholds the mother's smile, and thinks of nothing more; it sinks to slumber in ! the mother's tjrnis, and no wild fancies till its simple mind; it receives that mother's cares, and is unconscious of any thing beyond her fond endearments. The little creature is wrapped up in the present, and o'er that present presides a guardian angel, and that guardian angel is the mother. Dearfhing!

When the history of this Confederacy up to the present period, shall be written with a truthful pen, future generations will scarce give credence to the narration; to them it will appear as fabulous as the early ages of Greece and Rome. Thirteen Colonies commenced in a common struggle against tyranny and oppression, waged a seven years war, (though poor and feeble and divided among themselves.) against the most mighty nation of the world?linally triumphed, their independence acknowledged, and then, as sovereigns and equals, tli-?y form'J a Confederacy, the better to promote peace and happiness among themselves, and to guard against ioroign aggression. J la ring sufficed together in the common cause, it was but a tin r.al conclusion, that a'i the ben -- tits t!iat wee to result ironi tlm .succor of their efforts, should lie enjoyed equally by all. and tliot those who had made every sacrifice to overthrow a tyrannous power, would be d.-frous that each Stale should be protected in the liber!y and iin niit'iities ih't be'ongod to them.

We all loved the Union that our lathers made; we loved it, because it was made bv teem after passing through much suffering to prepare the way for it; and it was a Union to b s loved, for it was founded on the basis of iusii:s and eoualit/ ; but that union, is ssoae! and in its stead, we have ;i go\\*rnmeiit lit only to be loaihcii and cbhurrcJ. presenting to our view an avvful/nz'i* .imi about to eugulph every tiling we lioid dea--. fivery sacrilicu tbal been made by one portion oi' the country tor llie good ol'tiio wlule lias boon made bv tee .Souill.

This second war of Independence, should have cemented the ties of friendship and brotherly love throughout the land; but it was scarce ended, before the agggessive spirit of the North began to develop itself. The saerilico of territory, of blood and of treasure made by the South tor the beuetit of all, was forgotten;?the feelings ofainity that .should have been the result of the struggle of '7G, had failed to be realized.
