DEFEAT OF THE SOUTHERN RIGHTS PAR
TV l\ GEORGIA.
We believe that the general result of the
election takes no inteltigeut man in Geor
gia by surprise. Tint majority for theOon-
solodationalist is larger than was anticipa
ted by our more sanguine friends, and
him. When a free darkey wants to
travel, be should take the uederground

From the Constitutionalist and Republic.
SIM Til CARDLIV l ELEFTIOVS.
The contest uoiniiiHlly Intween se
cession and co-operation hut in fact be
tween secession and submission is to
be decided in South-Carolina next
Monday. A full set of secession can
didates for the .Southern Congress on
the one side and of co-operation on
the other are in the field and the result
will he consider hI in that Stale a test
of public sentiment.
If the secession candidates are elec
ted by an aggregate majoi ity of the
voters of the State the Convention will
look upon the result as the voice of the
State in favor of secession of South-
Carolin i from the Union and ills pre
sumed will act accordingly. If the
c.o-o|K*ration canditates are elected it

will doubtless be hailed as a "beautiful

We had the declaration of one of their or
gans in advance, that they would so hail the
election of Mr. Cobh. The large majority
ho has obtained is decisive evidence of a
very considerable antt-s’nvery party in
our midst. Tlieextent and power of that
element we Itelieve has generally l>een un
derrated. Wehave never fallen intothat
error, and therefore giving it due consid

triumphing by its aid over the Southern
Rights cause and the principles of State

then submission triumphs for it will he

This is a plain statement of the case.

der of whose eloquence contributed so
much to arouse the spirit of resistance in
the colonies to the tyranny of the mother

is hut natural that we should inquire.—
The biography of such a man as Wirt
is not only full of encouragement to the
young and ambitious, but is also replete
with lessons of practical wisdom for all
who would be loved, honored and res
pected in the world. Born of parents
w ho were not surrounded by the adven-
ti'.ious circumstances of wealth, at the
i early age of two years he was deprived
by death of the counsel and protection
' of a father. At the age of eight his mo
ther died, leaving him Anbly an orphan.
He was thus thrown upon the world with
out the assistance and sympathy of those
; whom nature lias appointed as the natu,
ral guardians of cm early years, and
: with scanty means of procuring an edu
cation. Being gifted, however, by nature
with a prepossessing appearance, lie soon
won the regard of friends who furnished
him with the means of obtaininga good
academical education. Before lie had at
tained his majority he was admitted to
doubtle.-s in the time, be submitted to the
South under some new compromise, which
will be one more step towards the grand
Jinal adjustment w hich the hireling States
have in view—to wit the extinction of the
doomed institution.
The late vote ofGeorgia is an invitation
to renew the aggressions, which will not
be slighted.

himself upon this additional prool of his
sagacity in asserting that the Union is
stronger than the institution of slavery.

And now, the post is irretrivable—the
future belongs to us, and we to our coun

perience no mortification except for our
Southern Anuntry. We have not a sin-
gle pang of regret or remorse to upbraid
us. We know we have done our duty,
and we look with assured confidence to
hit are and cooler moments to vindicate
tlie integrity a* well as the wisdom of the
principles of the Houthern Rights party.
The North has made a sweeping triumph
—the South has bowed its head, kissed
the hand that emote her, and pronoun

cation or merer.
THE ELECTIONS.
Although wo have not yet received
full returns from every part of the State,
yet we are fully satisfied that our own
party—the Resistance party of the
State—have suffered a “Waterloo de
feat” in nearly every District. Our op
ponents themselves will doubtless he
astonished at the majniitv which has
declared in favor of the submission of
South Carolina. But they themselves
have no cause for triumph or congratu
lation. They have sealed the destiny
of which our forefathers never assented
to, that it is better to suffer manifest
and grievous wrongs, than to incur ha
zards and dangers in maintaining our
independence. They have succeeded in
defeating tlie Secession party; they
have triumphed over us, hut they have
lost their independence. They have
placet! South Carolina on tlie Georgia
platform of submission to past wrongs,
without even Georgia’s paper pledge of
resistance to future aggressions. They
have triumphed, hut they have succee
ded in instilling into the minds of a
portion of our population sentiments at
war with our domestic institutions, and
dangerous to our future peace. The
spi it of war upon slavery has been
evoked to fill up their ranks; and though
at a future day they may be di iven to
resist what they can no longer endure,
they will find their enemies in their own
midst, whose prejudices they can no
longer control. And we now- confi
dently predict that the standard of re
sistance to federal aggresions can never
he raised in South Carolina with a hope
of success. Our peojile are dishearten-
ed and discouraged ; and when our
loud-mouthed politicians, who have so
shamefully the Resistance ranks, again
endeavor to restore a warning popular
ity hy unmeaning garble about State
pride and honor, they will find hut lew
to need their ‘cry ot wolf.’
We fear State Rights is now only an
empty title—the spirit that sustained it
is gone.
We have among us idolaters of the
Union—men who think it treason to
talk of reaistanoe to the General Go
vernment; we have among us gambling
politicians, who would barter away
their very soak for profit or place; gen
tleman of elrgaat leisure, whose volup
tuous dreams, and sybaritic ease must
not be broken, or dieturbed by clamor*
for independence; gentlemen whose
hearts and possessions are in other
States to he endangered by the seces
sion of South Carolina i and last, hut
not least, we have among us a class
who look with envy and dislike upon
all who are so fortunate as to own a
slave, and who will never under any
circumstances lend their support for its
maintenance.
Against this combination of influence
it is difficult to contend, and nnr great
misfortune now is that many ofthe true-
est resistence men of the State, dishear-
toned hy defeat, and distrustful of tliose
who have deceived and abandoned
them, w ill no more rally around the
standard of resistance with the saine
enthusiasm which they have just mani

PRESENTMENTS OF THE 6RIND JURY.
We, the Grand Jury of Darlington Dis
trict at October term 1851, beg leave to
make the following presentment:
1. We have examined the report of the
Commissioners of the Poor, and approve
the action of that body. We would,
however, recommend to that Board the
propriety of purchasing a suitable tract
of land near the centre of flic District,
for the purpose of establishing a Poor
House, with a farm attached, which we
believe would combine the two advanta
ges of reducing the expenditures for that
class of population, and have a very ben
eficial effect in improving their habit*.
In addition to this, we are of opinion that
with proper management such a system
would contribute much more to the com
fortable support of the pauper popula
tion than the present, with the same ex
penditures; we would also recommend
that the location of the poor house should
be in the country, and not in or near any
town or village.
