out dishonor to ourselves.
Fourth, That in relationjo the maintenance
of the rights we have, or those that. have been
defeated or impairedrnnd inwhntever concerns
the subjects of contumely and} insult we cam
plain of, there may lie n sufficient cause for
increased vigilance, for preparation, for alli
ance among the Southern States, for the de
mand of new guarantees, but not for disunion,
until there is a refusal of redress. In my
opinion, separate State action will result in the
discredit and defeat of every measure for repa
ration or security.
In conclusion, he says! . ' d '
I neea not state to you that. my connection
with {he Federal Government has continued
till-this time, rather. in, deference to the incli
nations of others, and upon public considera
tions, then from any desire on my part. to hold
my_ofi'me. My commission would not. be af
fected by the action of the State. Buhl de
termined many years agothat my obligation
was to follow the fortunes of_ her people. I
shall terminate my connection With the govern
ment as a consequence of her act.

A special committee of the South Carolina.
Legislature have mode a report éonceming the
postal system of the State after seiessidn. The
proposed hrrhngement with Adams and Co.’s

exigencies of the case, and therefore they sub
mit the following: _ ‘ I: 1

support, except on the part of Mr. Siekles, who
introduced an amendment, proposing a meeting
and consultation between the New York and
Virginia delegations upon the crisis of sfi'sirs,
for the purpose of securing a. union of action
between these two great States. He supported
his proposition in a strong speech, but the
pmposition of Mr. Reynolds is said to have

With those facts in view, and when the ma
jarity of the people demand that proper con
cessions be made to quiet the apprehensions of
the South, it is the extreme of insolence for the
Republican minority to say that such assurances
shall not be given. If the popular voice is
heard and heeded the Southern States will not
be permitted to seek redress out of the Union,
but Will obtain what they require in the Union.
The only men who stand in» the way of a. per
manent pacificntion at this momentous crisis in
our natipnal history are the Republican leaders,
when more intent upon saving their misera
bieseotional organization than upon preserving
the. Union. They are the true secessionists ind
disunionists. Their stubborn arrogance must
be lashed out of them by public opinion. Then
the majority will govern, and the Union be pre
served. - ' .
Who hre the Disuuimiists ?
Manifestly those who have produced a. deep
seated apprehension in the Southern mind that.
their rights are not secure within the Union.
It will not do for the Republicans to profess
peculiar devotion to the Union, and claim that
they have done nothing to put it in peril, after
having done everything to produce the disnnion
excitement at the South. Fire will not burn
without fuel; There Would be 'no disunioniSta
at the South if there were no hostile Republi
cans at the North. Disnnion is the necessary
outg‘rthh- of- Republicanism. Northei‘n sec
tionalism is the canoe and disnnion the natural
and inbviteble reaction. Torture {gman’ on the
rack and Lew-ill cry out with pain. Suppose
that the torturer should reprove the s‘nfl’erer for
the 'disegre'enble noise he is making“; because
it‘ ' alarms I the neighborhood and lieep's 'qifiet

horrors never before recorded : And whereas, ' It
appears that. the present system ofour govern
