SEPARATE STATE SECESSION
PRACTICALLY DISCUSSED IN A

NO* II.
Ability of the Stale to maintain her independence.
We are now to consider the State, under i
separate government, to maintain her respectability
among nations, and to protect hersell
against aggressions.
Once out of the Union, what is to prevent?
The elements of strength in a state are compactness
of territory, anion of interest and feeling,
peenniary resources, and men of strong
nerves and stoat hearts. Some great men have
said, that,"war has no sinews hut (host of good
soldiers."* And again : "a Slate to he great,
must he of a military race ; or both by origin
and disposition, warlike." There is much wisdom
in these words. It is equally true, that
mere forco never yet subdued a spirited and intelligent
race of men. A brave and determined
people may be whipped, bat, if anited, they
can never be subdaed. History does not furnish
a single example. It is a remark, worthy
of its author,
"who overcomes
By force, hath overcome but half his foe."
Nor do numbers always constitute the
strength of a State. A Territory of moderate
size, with a Warlike population, affords ample
bulwarks for protection and defence. Small
States, by a prompt concentration of their power,
can always exert a force greater in proportinn
than larire States, and hence usuallv de
O - ? /
fend themselves beyond all expectation against
large forces sent against them. "It is known,"
says a great Statesman,f "that it takes a much
less force, in proportion, to subject a large
country with a numerous population, than a
small territory with an inconsiderable population."
Apply these principles to our case.?
South Carolina is strong in arms, and rich in
soil. She has a territory of 31,000 square
miles; wealth to the amount of 8250,000,000:
sud a military lorce of 55;000 men, who may
be constantly employed in active service, without
subtracting very largely from the agricultural
industry of the State. And she will have
'good soldiers." Are not our men of a "military
race?" Are they not warlike both by
'origin and disposition ?" Let our past histo y
answer. We certainly have the "sinews of
war;" and from the nature of our population
uid territory, we could keep in cheek at least
100,000 men that might be sent to invade us.|
Due ivonld nt iinc?. render us a formidable
>ower on our own soil, and the invader would
lesitate long before undertaking to enter our
jorders. It is idle to say, that the State would
lot be able to maintain its independence.
But on a subject like this, an ounce of expedeuce
is worth a pound of speculation. Let us
look to history. Many of the most thriving
and powerful nations of antiquity, and of modern
times, have been less in extent of territory
than South Carolina. Take, for instance, the
llcpublics of Athens, Spahta and Rome. The
territory of Attica, including the Islands, of
which Athens was the Capitol, contained only
S74 square miles; 135,001) citizens and alien
residents; and 365,000 slaves (white,) with an
aggregate wealth of about $40,000,000. Sparta
had a small area, with only 150,000 citizens,
md 230,000 slaves. Its wealth, in the palmy
lays of the State, was very inconsiderable.?

battle,? and drove back from their borders, the
Persian invader with his million of soldiers.
The resolution itself to meet this armed multitude
must excite our highest admiration, and
teach us an example worthy of imitation.
The power of Home arose in a single city
and a smell adjacent territory; and when this
great State was at its highest degree of strength
and power, it embraced only the principal provinces
of Italy, not exceeding, perhaps, in extent,
50,000 square miles. It was in the
meanwhile poor and without trade. Nothing
but its warlike sous could have given it so complete
an ascendency.
In coming down to the period of the middle
ages, we find, among the most prosperous and
powerful States, the little Italian Republics ot
Venice, Genoa and Florence, with territories
not larger, perhaps, than Edgofield District
There, too, was the small Republic of Sar
Marino, which exists at this day, with an ares
of only 21 square miles, and a population o
7,600?one of the most remarkablo examples
on record of the capacity of small States to pre
serve their independence and liberties. Fo
centuries, it has stood amid the most dreadfu
political convulsions, and though invaded per
pciually by the formidable powers of the Pope
which surround it, grew, as the historian tell
us, "populous, happy and illustrious. Thi
arose, we learn, from the honest simplicity anc
virtuous manners of its inhabitants. May w
not aspire to the noble career of this gallan
little State ?
Look, also, to tho present nations of Europf
On the map we discover some 45 States, les
in extent of territory than South CarolinaKingdoms
and Republics, that only enjoy th
blessings of liberty in a higher degree tha
most of the States around them, but maintai
a high respectability among the nations of th
earth. The reader will recognize among thes<

Sardinia and Switzerland. Yet Belgium has
an area of only 12,569 square miles ; Denmark,
22,000; Greece, 21,000; Holland, 11,000;
Portugal, 39,000; Sardinia, 28,830; and Switz*
, erland, 17,208. England itself, which has gradually
risen in magnitude, till she has become
at once the most wealthy and most powerful
nation on the globe, has an area of only 51,500
square miles; being less than either Georgia
or Florida. The above States not only achieved,
but have maintained their independence,
i How do the numberless little Principalities,
Duchies and Kingdoms in Germany, many of
f them not as large as Edgefield District, preserve
theirsovereignty and independence among
the despotic family of European nations ??
There are the free cities of Hamburg, Bremen,'
Lubec, and Frankfort, only third rate towns,
that have existed as independent sovereignties '
i for centuries. True, they belong, at present,
to the Germanic confederation; but this is a
, mere league of defence against external powers,!
not interfering with the sovereignty and free- j 1
dom of these cities. Yes! these Republics, not 11
; one of them having an area over 150 square ; i
miles, nor a population above 200,000, have j i
long upheld, and do now maintain their indi- j I
vidual sovereignties, enjoying the glorious i
sweets of liberty, in the neighborhood of large
and powerful despotisms?under the very eyes i
of tyrants who have their standing armies of i
150,000 and 300,000 men, and who frown up- ;
on every semblanee of political freedom. Once !
members of a Confederacy, styled the " Han- <
seatic League," which comprized 85 States or
Cities, and which, by its wealth and arms, ruled <
nearly the whole of Northern ?arope> these 1
little States have had the nerve to achieve their <
independence, and to maintain it under all the i
frnwn* anrl throats of rloansitiam
Yet the people of Carolina, with quadruple ]
their wealth and military force, and more than |
centaple their territory, are actoally hesitating, i
whether or not they shall give op their sover- j
eignty, and become the mere tributary allies of \
a Northern consolidated despotism. O, Tan- 1

Bat in estimating the elements of snceesa for <
a separate State Government, it is not proper i
to consider only oar physical resources.' lite (
true strength of a nation rests as much, per- j
haps, on the operation of moral causes, as on
the organization of physical power. The Gov- j
ernment, which, by its reckless administration \
and lawless oppressions, has sown the seeds j
of discontent and faction, need not expect to j
exert the full measure of its strength or greatness.
For this to be done, especially in free j
countries, the moral energies of the people must
be awakened. Among a great and free peo- J
pie, before the national mind can be urged to j
exert its full power and will, a plausible pretext
must offer itself? a prospect of gain, or, at least, <
of Bome seeming good. Factions among us ^
may combine for the accumulation of wealt? .l
and power, but they will rarely unite to con- J
suuie wealth by extravagant wars, unless driven
to them in self-defence. The Federal Gov- j
ernment, by arousing disaffections in the minds f
of the people, on the great sectional matters at ^
issue before the country, has deranged itsspriugs .
- f ?l? A - - ?! 1 - ?A.
oi power, bo as necessarily 10 crippie lis ener- ^
! gies, if not entirely to paralize them, in any
struggle it may wage relative to these sectional
issues. And while its power thus becomes
weakened, a common interest and safety must
iuevitably urge us, sooner or later, to that union
of feeling and sentiment, that concert of
will and action, which the desire for self-preservation
never fails to inspire, and which are the
chief sources of national strength.
But another moral element of grea' forco
among civilized nations, and one which will
surely redound to our advantage, is the power
of public opinion. Under the bonds of modern
commerce, and the refining influences of Christianity,
a sort of international ethics have sprung
up, infusing into the minds of nations a more
liberal sense of justice ; which, added to the
Btrong principle of self-preservation and selfadvantage,
serves greatly to restrain the ag
gressive spirit of military, despotic nations.?
Despots know that, under the enlightened diplomacy
of modern times, every community of
States, for their mutual welfare and safety, will
use the utmost efforts to preserve a balance of
power. They are beginning to learn, also,
that, in time of high popular excitement, stand1
ing armies, how well so-ever disciplined, are
I not always to be relied on; and that the spark
of liberty, once kindled by the flash of firci
arms, is in dunger of-soon lighting up the whole
> mass of the people, and extending to the sol>
diery itself. Hence the cautious timidity of
i the crowned heads of Europe, in the recent
f outbreaks among their subjects, And nothing
J but the dread of public opinion?of a general
Congress of Nations?of awakening sense of
r indignation throughout the European States
1 and the civilized world, prevents the more des
potic powers from interfering to suppress the
. liberal movements now iroinir on in the smaller
, " " o o
s continental States.
8 South Carolina may, with reason, count up'
on this moral eleinenr. All the Southern slaveholding
States know and feel, that, on the pro*
per restraint of Northern power, absolutely depends
their safety and welfare; and this, wheth*
er the Union exists, or be dissolved. Without
8 tlie most blinded prejudice and suicidal policy,
" they cannot allow tho equilibrium between
e Northern and Southern power to be destroyed.
n It would be their certain destruction. They
n know and feel this; and how much soever they
e may for awhile, after South Carolina with9>
draws, listen to tho dulcet strains of the Nortb'>
ern Syren, when that fatal Goddess creeps out
'? '? * ^
jroiu UVr cvgivi piauuo ui aggicooiuu, aim <ib*
tempts to force her designs by the outward
is forms of power, rest assured, they will rise up
\s in their might to stay the heartless course of the
greedy and cruel monster. No moral reckoning
can bo more certain.
Consider new the situation and circumstances
of Sooth Carolina. In the first place, these
will urge cs to a policy of peace. Cat off
from all prospect of enlarging oar dominions
by force, we should be entirely free from the
ambition of cocqaest?that prolific source of
strife and war among the nations of the world..
Our efforts would be directed to the pursuit of
liberty and happiness; to striving after a high
development of our internal resources; and to
making advancements in our moral andintellectual
attainments. While this would naturally
lead us to cultivate peace and comity towards
other States, it would ensure from them feelfhjgsf
of friendship and sympathy for us.
Again: The nature of oar. produce would
be well calculated to beget friendly relations
with other States. Our Exports consist of
Cotton, Rice, Lumber, drt:?prodhcto of the
earth. We are almost the only State that exports
Rice to any extent Our produce, there-'
fore, is of that character, which will cause it tit
be eagerly sought by many nations, while oar
situation will be such as to lead us to seek from
others, commodities which they may hare to
exchange. This begets, at once, a lively and
healthful trade; and every ooe knows, that
trade and commerce are great peace makers.
But thirdly, we shall have little to &cite
animosity or envy of other nations. Our Ter
ritory will be comparatively smxdl, and in gram
part, subject to cultivation only by the African!
It would, therefore, scarcely tempt a conqueror
or invite the rapacity of the North- Ou.
wealth, also, is of such a nature, as not to er\
cite Northern cupidity. Codsfetibg* almost
trholly of land and negroes, it would be of little
ralde to any except those who would own
slaves and live upon the csd, while any serious
listnrbance of nor institntfnne nnnU
[y destroy oar produce, which it is so much
the interest oi others to obtain. Nothing bat
i spirit of revenge in the Northern mind, could
provoke an attempt to conquer oar State; and
we need have fears from no other quarter^?
While, then, other States would have little
emptalion to interrupt us, every consideration
>f interest and policy would lead them to let;
is alone; in which case, at indicated in out
ormer article, we should enjoy aa nnexam*
iled state of prosperity. , r
With oar native strength, therefore, and by
he operation of the moral causes, we hare
jeen considering, there can be little doabt at
o the ability of die State to maintain her Kbef
y and independence.
As to her respectability, that may very, well be
eft to time. One thing is certain, it will never de*'
>end on mere physical strength. Undsrr the jndg-'
nent of a Christian world, physical power is no'
onger the single test of worth among nations or
ndividnals. A people who practice virtue and
ostice among themselves, and in their inter-,
:ourse with others; who excel in moral and
ntellectual attainment; who are brave, high*
ninded and honest; and who always tread the
>atb8 of doty and honor, need have no fettt,
or their respectability eitheramong contempoaneous
nations, or with posterity, though they
nay chance to occupv a small territoi-v, and o
enjoy few of the luxuries of life. It may
oo, with safety be affirmed, that while small
States have sometimes afforded substantial lib*
>rty, large ones have always been despotic ;
ind hence, the people who sacrifice to their
imbition by seeking to live in large and mag*
lificent empires, must do so at the expense of
heir liberty and happiness.
THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND
No 6able pall, no waving plume,
No thousand torch-lights to illume ;
No parting glance, no struggling tear, , *
Is seen to fall upon the bier.
There is not one of kindred clay,
To watch the coffin on its way;
No mortal form, no, human breast,
Cares where the poor man's bones may reat. *
But one deep mourner fjllows there,
Whose grief outlives the funeral prayer:
He does not sigh, he does not weep,
But will not leave the sodless heap.
No! he who was the poor man's mate,
And made hint more content with fate? *
The old gray dog that shared his crust,
Is ail mat stands beside ms dust.
He bends his listening head, as though
He thought to hear a voice below;
He pines to raiss that voice so kind,
And wonders why he's left behind.
The sun goes down, the night is come,
He needs no food, he seeks no home.
But, streached upon the dreamless bed,.
With doleful howl calls back the dead.
The passing gaze may coldly dwell
On all that polished marbles tell,
For temples built on churchyard earth
Are claimed by riches more than worth.
But who would mark with dimmed eyes,
The mourning dog that starves and dies!
