} and would not willingly barter the
smallest State in it for The Proudesl En-
nire ON earth, because that would be dis
union. And yet there are greater evils
than disunion. One Of these Is the abo-
lition of slavery in the South and another
isa despolism-that worse than iron, in
ouisitorlaI, despotism, that desp9tisn of
the mind, which shall deny men, Under
the penalties OF treason, the right to ex-
press their opinions about their rights and
their government. O'ConnelI in the
Richmond Penitentiary is more free than
D the citizen OF such a Republic. But why
should the friends of Texas at tho South
be put under the ban with the cry of dis
union? Because few indiscreet men
talk of disuniol if they fail in obtaining
Texas, which they do, moi because of the
loss, but because, if lost, it will be by the
objection of the anti-slavery men to the
extension of the influence of the slave
holding country? Their threat. if un-
deIstand it, is not TO dissolve, because of
The loss of Texas, but because, il lost, 1t
will be on anti-slayery grounds. This is
foolish and rash, and Injuries the men who
indulge in it; but is it any worse than
disunion in miIder language openly ex-
pressed, or broadly intimated at the
North2 Is il not as criminal 10 talk OF
disunion if Texas be admitted, as if she be
not admitted; and WHY'S it, that little or
nothing is said of the Northern disunion-
lists, while streams of denunciations are
poured upon the South, or the proud little
State of Carolina? | confess see more
danger in this temper than in idle talk of
dsunion, or the annexation of Texas
The annexation of Texas, believe, will
strengthen the Union and prevent disso-
luton, while this denunciation endangers
il, (as it will destroy our party if persis-
ted in) Ijudge others by myself as well
as by what they tell me of themselves,
and confess that my own blood kindles,
as know that many others does, at the
denunciations. l regard the people at
the North as brethren of the same family,
bound to US by all the lies Of interest and
consanguinity; but am Southern man,
and Southern man with Southern feel
ings, and cannot but feel keenly and
deeply the denunciatons which are pour
ed out upon Southern men, because they
advocate measure which they believe is
to strengthen and aid in the South, as it
will enrich and thus strengthen the North
Let this habit of denunciation then be
discontinued"
