According to the logic of certain
staunch State Rights men, South Car

independent State : but practically she
can posses not one of these attributes.

They are in fact the extremest Con-

The former mantained that consolida- 1

that .State Rights would render the cen
tral authority too feeble to carry out the
objects of Government for which it was
created. But they never contended
that State Rights wore of necessity an
impructi? able humbug; and that the
States could not lie independent puhti-
cal hollies, because in such a comUfion
they would forthwith destroy themselves
by taxation.

THE
RESISTANCE PARTY OF THE
SOITH.
Our exchanges bring ns cheering ac- j
counts from Georgia, Alabama and Mis
sissippi. The Southern Rights party
in each of those States are buckling on
their armor eager for the coming con- ,
test which we earnestly hope, is desten-
ed to crush forever the vile traitors who |
would barter the honor and safety of;
the South for office. The causes of
the South seems to have received a new
impnlse within the last few weeks,—
We attribute this to the bold and deter
mined stand taken by the people of'
South Carolina, and the soul-stirring |
reasonable though nothing"to compare with less ele
vated place above and below us. From
many places we hear of the most dis
tressing scenes, accompanied by great
loss of property. In one house at Tully,
it is reported that seven families are hud

ALABAMA.
We make the following extract from a
private letter, received from a friend who
is a planter in Wilcox county, Ala.:
Camdeh, Ala., May 28th, 1851.
“ We are to meet on Saturday next to
bring out our candidates tor this county.
For the Senate we will bring out John
W. Bridges, and for the lower house sel
lers and Irby. With these men as oiir
flag bearers, I think we are certain of
success. 1 don’t believe any man can be
elected in this county who will deny the
right of secession.”

audiuk
versy about State Rights which has
been w aged from the foundation of the
Government of the United States.—
There are no State Rights at all—
There never can ho any. They can
not exist unless practicable, and they
cannot he practicable, according to this
assumption, because self-destroying.—
Here is a consummation to which it
has heed reserved for the State Rights
of 1851 to bring the labors of Jkffek-
son and Calhoun!
Are the people of South Carolina less
capable of governing themselves than
the jieoplo of the Northern States of i
governing them 1 Certainly! answer!
these State Rights men of 1851. The
people of the North do now govern you ;
and though you are unspeakably op- !
pressed and be deviled, you are not
quite destroyed but if you once attempt
self-government you will forthwith
drown yourselves in a flood of self-im-
posod taxation.
This seems marvelous; and when you
ask w hat inevitable necessity w ill drive
the |>eople of South Carolina upon so
absurd a fate the answer is self-defence.
To defend themselves, they must have
great armies and navies; forces equal to
them in avenging their common w rongs 1
and providing for their common safety, j
No pains has been spared by political
demagogues iu our sisterstates to make !
the people believe that South Carolina
lias lieen endeavoring to use them as a
cats-paw to thrust them forward in a
contest, the dangers of which she was
unwilling first to encounter. They are
beginning to be undeceived as to the
real spirit and determination of South
Carolina, and to see that she is prepar
ed to meet all the perils which lie in the
path of honor and duty.
The issue which South Carolina pro
poses to make, has also brought homo
to their hearts the dangers which over
hang the country. The denial of the
right of a sovereign State to sect d > from
this Union, and threats of coercion
consolidated despotism or a free repr*»
sentative Republic, composed of sove
reign States, to be decided against them *
If they will not, is it not likely tlr* a
Southern Republic will be the result of
coercion! If they are prepared for the
former event, the sooner we know it the
better. But before we give up the dor
trines which have been taught us by
Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun, M’Dctfie,
and a galaxy of other bright names—be
fore we bow as the submissive tools of an
insolent majority, let us at least make one
gallant struggle for our crumbling liber
ties. We may be conquered. Poland
was dismembered and her spirit crushed,
but not until “ Warsaw’s last champion
from her height surveyed wide o’er the
fields a waste of ruin laid.”
The brave Hungarians submitted, but
not until they were forced do so; and
will the descendants of as gallant a race
of men as were ever ranked on glory’s
page, submit without a struggle to what
every man with an unprejudiced mind
and a tithe of the spirit which actuated
our forefathers, acknowledges tq^be an
insult and a wrong ?

that the right ofsecession must he main

ilestroy themselves with taxes.
If the position is true it is very sur
prising that there should ever have been
any small States,—especially any small
free State in the world. Looking at it
as it is however we find that there are
a great number of free States, which
have existed for generations without
eating themselves up by taxation.
To begin with examples at home,—
did the United States, after the Revo
lution ot 1770, when setting up an in-
depondent Government as sovereign
StJttba, destroy themselves by taxation.
They Were then feeble exhausted com-
niunities, with a population of two and
a half millions. Did they find it a ne
cessity which which no prudence could
avert to have ant ties and navies equal
to those of Groat Britain and France;
and for this end to overwhelm the peo
ple of the States with taxes! Directly
is deferred until our next issue.

and the taxes least oppressive. Ex

our progress in power. In 17B4 the
taxes on imports were hut ten per cent
they are now thirty. In 17B4 we rnis-

the world and would have prospered in

springing out of the French Revolution,

the experience of the United States.—

been able to exist to this day, with a

If we turn to other nations, history
teaches ns same lesson. Who are the

'Hie people of the great States and
Empires. Their rulers either aim at
conquest or fear the aggressions of oth

patriotism in different eras of the world:

their future coarse on the Southern
question. When our Legislature in de
ference to what it property considered
the will af their constitunents, called a
conven tion of the people, and provided
for a representation in a Southern Con
gress, there came no response such as
that which comes now to the procee
dings of the Southern Right Convention
recently held in Charleston. That bo

to the Southern States that whilst they
would make any honorable sacrifice to
obtain their co-operation, they as a por
tion of the people of South Carolina
solemnly recorded their opinion that
their hoitq^, their rights, and. their in
terests roqHred the secossiwff of South
Carolina, either with or without it—
This is the declaration—from foot hun
dred good and true men of Carolina—
that has begun the good work of co-op
eration elsewhere in a manner scarcely
thought of before. And this is not
mere inference from the coincidence of
the news of the renewed activity among
ourselves elsewheae reaching here aboi t
this time, but is actual knowledge de
rived from gentlemen some of them not

turned from * visit to the We*. That
meeting denounced by the professing
co-operationists of our State, has pro

ly producing the object they say they
seek to obtain.
But this is not all. The meeting in
Charleston organized itself into a State
association for the express pur petit of
using the most dlTectual means to pro
cure concert of action with us in our
co-States. It appoiiitedancentral com
mittee of working Meat9 forward this
important purpose, and we have no
doubt but every exertion will be used
by them to secure so desirable an end.
And we are convinced as thoroughly
as we •vor were on imy subject that
co-operation, if hiude^P at aU, will be
hindered by the efforts no wreaking to
form an anti-secession party in the
State. If, as those engaged in it say,
our only safety is in procuring the co
operation, then, in proportion to the
success of their misguided attempts to
drag down the State from the position
of resistance she has occupied for a
year past, and stilloccaMps, will be the

All the evidencci therefore, on the

Other and more pfrs sing duties have
prevented us from answering the above
inquiries until the present time. In reply
to the first interrogatory, we say that
when the Independence of South Caro

ernment, and she assumes a separate ex
istence among the nations of the earth,
she will be to the United States a foreign
power, and by the existing laws her slaves
cannot be introduced into the other States.
belong to the doUatmnd cent class of poli
ticians—it is sufficient for us to believe
that the government has perpetrated out
rages which call for resistance; it is suffi
cient for us to know that States smaller
and weaker than South Carolina have
existed for centuries, and do still exist,
and we have never iieard of their people
being ground to powder by oppressive
taxation. Texas, with resources infinite
ly inferior to those of South Carolina,
secured her independence at the point of
the sword, and maintained it for ten years
between two powerful Republics. Switz
erland, and many even smaller States
in Europe now exist, and have long ex
isted as independent powers. Had the
signers of the declaration of Indepen
dence halted because the establishment
and maintenance of a separate govern
ment would cost something, wo would
have been British colonies still. Had they
hesitated because that step was attended
with danger, wo would not have heard it
sounded in our ears on every anniversa
ry of independence, that to secure the
blessings of a separate and independent
government, they pledged “their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honors ”
The third inquiry, ccming from many
sources, would be regarded by us as an
insult. Wo think, however, that our
friend has not intended it as such, and
therefore pass it by as two insignificant
to require even a serious cousnleratkni.
