Territories, and by carrying out the nefarious
measure of slavery prohibition under tiie bitterest
denunciations against our people and our
institutions.
III. Again : By interposing every obstacle
to the arrest of our fugitive slaves, and by
shamelessly barnissing and insulting our citizens
while in pursuit of their property, the North
not only deprives the South of thousands" of
doliarsj annually, but heaps upon her wrongs
and indignities, too flagrant for a high-minded
people to bear. The North moreover perpetually
annoys our people by agitating the question
of slaver}' in and out of Congress, using
towards us the most inflamatory and-abusive
? j ,1.. C....!
epuneis, miu txprtrasmy tuc ujicu. uciuiuiiuation
to f>ersist in their efforts, directed by their
talent, influence and money, till slavery be
driven entirely from the.Republic, : And do we
not know these fanatics to be in earnest ??
"There is" says Bukkk, "one case, in which it
would he madness not to give the fullest credit
to the most deceitful-of men, that is, when they
make declarations of hostility against us."
IV. Further. Under the absolute sway of
the Northern majority, the sovereignty of the
individual States, the great arch pillar of Southern
liberty, is becoming rapidly drawn into a
buge consolidated despotism at Washington
which is destined soon to be as irres-stible as it
is despotic, placing the South completely at the
mercy of the North, utterly destroying her
equality and liberty, plucking the fruits of her
honest labor, and, despite every barrier of the
Consf'tution, subjecting hor to a wretched state
of slavery, from which she can never he redeemed
unless by the ultimate right of revolution
; a remedy always diflicult to he exercised
and often doubtful in its consequences.
,This is but a feeble sketch of the chapter of
our wrongs. To a people, not slumbering over j
their interests and liberties, no comment on J
these grievances can be necessary. They
speak in trumpet tones to the brave and the
freo of all sexes. They call to arms! to ai ms !
So much for the past. What are our prospects
for the future ? Will not the Government
ooatiuue to over-tax the South, and distribute
the revenues to favor the interests of the North ?
Will not the most extravagant appropriations
still be made for the benefit of the ruling majority
in the Union ? At the very last session
of Congress $50,000,000 were appropriated
principally to the North and West, while the '
Government is indebted to an amount exreeding
$100,000,000. Will not this reckless extravagance
cause the South to be continuallv
oppressed by taxation ? Will not the central
power at Washington go on increasing, till, utterly
destroying State rights and State sovereignty,
it will reduce the Southern States to
mere dependeut provinces, and the Southern
people to mere laborers for the North? Will
mot abolition fanatics still agitate, and invoke
all the perverted powers of the Government to
effect their hellish purpose of abolishing slavery
in the States? So sure as there is a God in
Heaven, these things will follow, unless checken
by some strong exertion of Southern power.
We will know the Government in future only
by its burdens and its exactions, and bv its distribution
of the spoils, which as ill-hoarded
wealth, it forces from Southern industry. We
can look for nothing but one interrupted train
trrannical and ODDressive measure*. Banks.
Tariffs, Internal Improvements, prodijj.nl appropriations
of the public lands and moneys, wicked
schemes of abolition, and every shameful act
of oppression which the genius of despotism !
can devise, will sweep over theso Southern
States, iike fell besoms of destruction, carrying
with them ruin and devastation. Tim South
wilt be a mere tributary of the North; paving
her stipend as regularly as the slave performs i
service to his task-master; and suffering im
poverishment and ruin amid the most systemut- |
ic industry and the most fruitful labor on the '
face of the globe.
Insulted, oppressed, down-trodden, with no
hope of relief save in our own efforts, under
the will of a just God, what ought we to do,
what can we do, but resist with all our might,
and with all the means the God of uaturo may i
place in our hands, the blind and heartless tyranny
that oppress us ?

JOHN RANDOLPH, AND '1 HE RIGHT
OF SECESSION.
An extract, laudatory of the Union, front one
of Mr. Randolph's speeches, a short time since
went the rounds of the compromise presses.
That its author was to the time of his death, a
true friend of the Union, admits of tio more
doubt than he was a friend of the South, and
of his darling doctrine of State rights. Yet,
J ' ? ? ? -f.i !_i .
in tneseaays, wnen an assertion ui ui? rigiu 01
secession makes a man a disunionist, what is to
be thought of the following resolutions, drafted
by Mr. Randolph, and submitted by liitn to the
peoplejof Charlotte county, Va, at the courthouse
assembled:
MResolved. That Virginia "is and of right
ought to be a free, sovereign and independent
State.f' That she became so by her own gov reign
act, which has since boon recognized by
all the civilized world, and has never been disavowed,
retracted, or in any wise impaired or
weakened by any subsequent act of hers.
ffResolced, That Virginia has never parted
with the right to recall the authority so delegated
for good and sufficient cause, nor with the
right to judge the snjficiency o f such cause, and
to SECEDE from the Confederacy whenever
she shall find the benefit exceeded by its evils ?
tininff tho mnnno nf afenrimr liniiriinoc:
U...UW MVUjj v.- ... a
and not au end, to which it should be sacrificed,
-y
11Resolved, That while wo utterly reprobate
the doctrine of Nulijication as equally weak
and mischievous, we cannot for that reason,
give oar countenance to principles, equally un
founded and in the highest degree dangerous
to the liberties of the people."
Yet this great man?-for great notwithstand)Ag
his oxcentrioities he truly was, not only in
(he eloquence of the orator, but in the wisdom
of * statesman?yet ho, much as he was devo
tod to the Union, were he now living, would
expose himself, for the announcement of the
foregoing sentiments, to denunciation as a disuuionist!
It will be seen that Mr. I ipri placed
the right of secession where. - must rest,
upon the broad, immovable, ami indestructible
rock of State sovereignty and independence.
He thought that Patrick Henry, and Thomas
Jefferson, and George Washington had by the
tongue, the pen, and the sword, secured and
achieved for Virginia, their country, something
more than the rioht possessetfcuow by the serfs
of llussia, and even their qwn African slaves.
He thought that Virginia, in ceasing to be a-j
province of threat Britain, did not become a
province of New Kngland, err of New England
and all the other States combined. He thought
that her people had done something else than
transfer their allegiance from King George to
king numbers ? enthroned as the latter is, with
despotic powers,moT-th of the Potomac. He
did not think iftf.'t her long struggle, commotio- j
ed by Patrick Henry in the house of bqrgesses,
with the cry of "treason!'' ringing in his ears,
ami ended by Washington on. the glorious field
of Yorktown, bad done more for Virginia than
to give to berth? right of revolution ?the right
of withdrawing from the Union in case she
c?uld whip the general government; and had
doomed her to the fate of submissively remain"ing
i:i it, in case she could not whip that govern
merit.
If the people of the different States?or to
come home?if the people of Georgia have not
the right to change their government, it is high ;
time that the) did have it. Whether they may !
ever wMi to exercise it, is another thing. I5ut
as soon as tin1 State shall cease to claim and
insist upon the right so soon may she bid farewell
to her sovereignty, and to the liberties of
her people. She becomes subject to the will, j
not of a majority of her own citizens, but of j
an extraneous multitude whose interest, prejn- I
dices and feelings are antagonistic to her good.

UW1T rrmxTMTK 1\ GUILFORD.
The Greensboro Patriot of last week con- ,
tains the report of a committee appointed to i
take into consideration the state of affairs produced
by the incendiary preaching of Me Bride,
Crooks, and one Bacon in that section. The
committee is convinced that said preachers are
incendiaries ot the abolitionists. McBride is
already gone, and the report declares that
Crooks and Bacon must leave?they must be
got rid of "peaceably if we can, forcibly if we
must."
These eiumissarios, it appears, have made a
good many converts in Guilford, and we learn
that there was a regular row at lTnion church
3 miles from Jamestown, on Saturday the 26th
nit. It is stated that there were about 300 on
the side of the preachers, and that clubs, stones,
<kc., were freely used, but no one very scriously
damaged. A reward of 8200 was offered
for the apprehension of Crooks and Bacon,
or 8100 for cither of them, after the 5th of j
August. We annex a letter, published in the
Patriot, and vouched for as genuine. It was
written in Indiana by a former resident of Guilford
:
".Before this reaches you the battle between
the "respectable descendants" on one part and
McBridc and Crooks on the other part, will
probably have been fought; yet I give it as my
opinion that McBridc and Ciooks will not be
driven from your county alive; and if the "respectable"
shall in obedience to law and order,"
slay them upon the field, their places will be
again and quickly filled by "a few more of the
same sort." 1 know this because I have conversed
with one of their allies in this county,
; who says, that though 50 years of age, he is
| ready to take their places. It is known hero,
if not in your County, that there is a number
of citizens of Guilford that are leagued with
these men in concocting and carrying out their
plans. What will the " respectable" do with \
them ? "Their name is legion," and their iuflu- j
ence is not limited to their own families, while !
their horses are not slow of foot when mounted
by a runaway negro, on his route north. "If
this swarm of flies be driven away, their places j
j will be supplied by others more hungry." I |
| have mentioned these things to show you that 1
in passing in condemnation on the " respecta- i
ble" viob, I am in the right use of my reason, |
t)"l fanatical, but disposed to look at tbings as
thcv arc, ami to submit to the laws of my country.
In conclusion, let m<* say (and I speak
advisedly) that wherever thesq ministers have
obtained the foothold that they now have in ;
Guilford, the peace and quiet of the slavehold i
ing community is at an end; and much as I
love wealth. 1 would not this day accept as a
present, the best farm and negroes in your
county, with the understanding that I should be
compelled to remain with them 8 years. For
whether slavery he right or wrong, of God or
the Devil, its days are numbered, Union or no
Union. The North has the ascomioiicv, and
the power, the will and the determination, to
break its bonds, and that at no verv distant period.
There is an upheaving of sentiment, and
a running out after "things new" a love of reform
either fancied or real among the jieople
of the great Northwest, that betokens this more
strongly than does any opposition to the fugitive
slave bill."
Later from Mexico.?The barque Braziliero
; arrived on Monday at New-York from Vera
Cruz, with 878,000. The dates from the City
of Mexico are to July IS. Mr. E. C'onue of

furnished the New-\ork papers with Mexican
news, Iroin which we ?*opv the following:
Col. Kamscy is still in Mexico urging the
government to give him the privilege of constructing
a road from Vera Cruz to Acapulco.

The Fourth of July was celebrated at the
Capital in the proper form, though the flag was
not hoisted during the day.
There is little or no travel to or from California

There appears to be some difficulty between

regard to the monthly payment of the interest
of the British debt.
The last mail steamer left Vera Cruz
out any specie, and it is said to be in
quence of a letter from the Representee's
upon the matter, that this extra session of the

Southern Manufactured Shoes.
We announce with pleasure that our friend*
and neighbors, Messrs. Alden & Murray, are extensively
engaged in the Manufacture of Plantation
and House Servants' Shoes, together with
Leather of every description, and that they can
compete with Northern manufacture, both in Price
and Quality. They do not hesitate to say that
they can furnish a better article for the same money,
than can be bought of Northern work.
We have examined their Brogans, made especially
for the Southern Market, a specimen ol
which can be seen at our office. Theit stock of
Boots, Shoes, &.C., is complete and will compare
favorably with any in the State.

The Baltimore Sun
Continues to snap up every little treasonable
sentiment uttered by any of the submissionists in
our State, and to roll it as a sweet morsel under
the tongue, at the same time that it can use the
most sneering largmgc against the friends of
Southern rights, who, regardless of the petty
horde ol" Newspaper scribblers at and adjacent (as
is Baltimore) to the North, speak out their sentiments.
The people of Baltimore have been fur a year
or more, trying to supplant, the real North, and
securing the tiade of the South. Net succeeding
as far as their expectations, in* consequence of its
leaning to the North, though slaveholdiug, the
Press will doubtless let slip no opportunity ot
venting its disappointment on the South, and especially
South Carolina. Such conduct is very
' unbecoming, and we shall endeavor to do our duty
by holding it up to public condemnation, whenever
an opportunity offers. * * *
FOOTK AND QUITMAN.
The Editor of the Memphis Enquirer who
was present at Hernando on the '20th ult., and
heard Cion. Foote and Quitman speak, thus
states the result of his observations:
"(Jen. Kootc look the stand a little before II
o'clock, and for three or four hours held the
audience enchained by one of the ablest and
most ingeuius speeches we liavo ever listened
to. VV'o shall not attempt any thing liko even

ment. * Gen Fcote is certainly an
able, skillful, and thoroughly well-informed politician
; and in listening to liiin we cannot resist
the belief that he is sincere, honest and
patriotic in his feelings and purposes. He is,
indeed, a peifect encyclopedia of political history.
His language is chaste and well chosen,
and his manner mild, conciliatory, and occasionally
broadly humorous. His defence of
the Compromise, and his demonstration of tho
sound policy of the South's acquiescing in it,
and insisting upon its maintenance, were answerable.
Of Gen. Quitman, it says:
"The Governor is a fine gallant loooking
man, that impressod us strongly with the idea
*
of his personal worth as a soldier and an hon
est hearted gentlerqan. We would judge, how
ever, that the sea of politics upon which he ha
adventured, is beyond the depth of his capaci
ties. Certainly he is no sort of a match fo

in natural mental endowment.? Weekly Inde

"Will you drink or light?" roared he in :
voice of thunder.
A silence ensued, or at least a sudden nmr
mur, " 'twixt which and silence there was no'

it was possible to accomplish both.
