Sweet made a most eloquent, argutnenlire
and thrilling speech, in. which he showed.
conetnsiVely the necessity of immediate
action upon the part of the South. lie
was willing to give the North an opportu-
nity to acceda to the demanda of the South,
not that ha thought she would do it, but
that the South might appear justiaed be-
fore the world and present a nobles example
of foiboaiar.ee and forgiveness in lier course
of c«nduct. The speech was received with
lively demonstrations of applanse.
Major ÜJckley, who is quite a young
man, then arose and addressed the people
in a brief and modest manner,•eforcidatiag
very clearly and satisfactorily the leading
features of the !K. G. C's. From his re-
marks we gathered the fciTotraatiofi that
this is *ndiiY!y a Southern organization,
which had its orfgfa in Lexington, Ken-
tucky, and ahoae basis is Southern rights
and the expansion'of Southern institutions.
There is nothing wrong, that we conld
perceive,'in the principles or pirit of the
Order, it is, as we laka it, to counteract,
that Northern spirit '<#f fanaticism which
would sur ron nd the Siave-holding States
with a cordon of free States, by which
slavery would «ting itself to death, and to
drive back Abditionism, Tiepublrcauistn,
Emigrant aid Societyism, Wide a-Wake
raw, and thé infernal "raids of those North-
ern murderers and robbers who have been
canonized as Saints by "such papera as the
New VoVk Tribune, and such orators as
Wendell Philips, et id omne genus. It
looks towards Mexico and Southward for
territorial expansion, and an outlet to the
" peculiar institution." , Its objects are
certaii.ly uuobjeeticfna!b!e and indeed all
good Southern men are already E. 6. C's
in principle. The only advantage that we
see in joining the Order, is a more thorough
organizaron than would be -otherwise at-
tained. If it succeeds in carrying out its
designs, tie result will be the g&ccmplish-
me t of great good. Tire principles of
the Otder very naturally ¿uggest a con-
nexion with (Jen. Houston's Protectorate
'over Mexico.

(Lr We notice that the Stielhcrn clergy arc

extraofainary politics/! íót-.ditám of the coantry,
and they, we are g'ad to see, are generally in
favor of -secession. Such Is the position of Hie
Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, Rev. J. C.
Carnes, of Galveston, and Rev. James C. Wil.
son, of "Gonzales. Dr. fcbring. Of San Antonio,
is also in favor of decided action. Some of the
papers think theric gentlemen have overstepped
the bounds of their sacred calling, and are wrong
in entering the political arena. As Northern
minister* helped to*£tít up this crusade against
us, it is nothing but right that our ministers
should help us resist it. Besides, Wfe believe all
the ministers referred tí? gave an expression of
opirfmn at the request of their fellow.citizcus.
We want all the help we can get, and we honor
these gallant diseiples of the cross who, in their
clerical robes, have, as patriotic citizens, come
to the rescue, and raised their eloquent voices in
bthuH of their suffering-ctíuntTymcn.

BJF Mfes "Lucrcfia should, by all means, favor
us with soother of ber very interesting little
The great question no% to be solved bv
the slave States is, what is the best policy
to be pursued in order to secure domestic
tranquility und peaceful relations with the
free States ?
We find m the áouth t wo parties— Se-
cessionists and Conservatives. The former
«re in favor 'of an immediate dissolution
•oí the Union, and the efetabjislwuent of a
Southern Corrfeáeraey ; the lati^ *re for
Union 60 lóng as the Black Republicans
aliide by the Constitution of the United
States, and the decisions dl" the Supreme
Cuurt.
Under these conflicting views ifhd feel-
ings it is the duty of every citizen to use
hU influence to promote the general good.
After mature deliberation, we are decidedly
in favor of war—" not te flfé knife," but
ta the purse. As in all great emergencies
—in the decision of gieat national quea
tions involving the lives, and property, and
happiness of millions of citizens— ques-
tions involving the great subjects of re
ligion, human liberty and national ag-
grandisement—'questions, the deiiftioo of
which will operate upon the destinies of
nations through all thp revolution of'R®
publica, Kingdoms and Empires till, the
close of time—it becomes our imper¿#ve
'duty to consult the policy pursued by the
good and great in g«s past, who have
been placed in circumstances similar to
our own. We will find these circumstan-
ces in the ^history of the Amevicsrti Revo-
lution. What was the policy of tbe fa
thers of the American Revolution! 1st.
They cailed a convention of-aM the States.
They acted in perfect concáijf and *nion.
The idea of the seces^ian óf individual
States never formed any pari'ef theW pol-
icy. Let the slave StatesVdo likewise.
By all means let the slave States ict in
pet feet union—"united we stand, divided
we fall!*' £. The Con vent íoíT óf Otates,
by our fathers, published a Declaration of
Rights. -Let the slave Stater, in Conven-
tion, do likewise. The election e£ Lin-
coln, by votes given by free negroes, is a
violation of the Constitution. If the de-
cision off the Supreme Court, in tlie Dred
Scott case, be correct, th°n free negroes
are not citizens of the United States ac
cording to the Constitution. Therefore,
the election of Lincoln, by the voles of
free negroes, vitiate* his election. Let the
Southern Convention require that the Su-
preme <3ourt decide Whether the totes of
free negroes aire legal Wove 'Liuooto be
permitted to take his seat. Again *, the
laws passed by Massachusetts and other
free States, ignoring the slav<j law pasted
by the Congress of the United States, are
unconstitutional according to the Dred
Scott case, as decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States. Therefore,
the Southern Convention should require
the Supremo Court to decide on tbe un
constitutionality of these Slate laws Wore
Mr. Liucoln be inaugurated. Once more:
before Mr. Lincoln takes hiaseat, he should
be required to give an assurance that
slavery in the District of Columbia, atid
slavery in the slave States, shall remain
undisturbed during his administration, and
that the fugitive slave law shall be'rigidly
enforced.
3rd. Our forefathers in convention re-
monstrated against the unlawful aggres-
sions of the British Government. Let the
South do likewise. Let a great central
printing press be established, and 500,000
weekly newspapers be scattered broadcast
over the nation, to direct public opinion
on Southern rights.
4'to. Our forefathers made sacrifices to
obtain the£r liberty. So let the South do
likewise. First, let the South make war
on the níírti'ied institutions df the North.
The anuual exportations of the South
amount to upwards'of $'212,000,000; and
those <X the Nofth only about $95,CK>0,-
000. It is evident from these statistics
that the banking institutions of the North
are principally dependant upon Southern
capital. It was " King Cotton," and no-
thing else, vrétích saved tbe monied insti-
tutions of the North from 4< blue'ruin" in
the panic of 1857. Let the South agree
to transfer their capital from the Northern
cities to the South, and connect themselves
with France and England-, in their monied
transactions, instead of New York, Boston
Philadelphia. Secondly, let the South
ma'ke. war upon the commerce of the
North. Let the Southern Convention de-
vise ways and means to break ~up .our com-
mercial intercourse with the free States,
and transfer our cdmmercial relations to
France, ¿te. Thirdly, let the South make
war upon the manufactories of tihe North.
Let the South cease to se4! their 'c&ton,
wool, hides, «fee., to the North, and cease
to buy their cotton and woollen good?,
their iren utemsils and shoes. L<*t the
South buy'fgoods in Europe till they can
establish manufactories <of their owo.
Fourthly, let the South make war upon
the publication houses of the North. Let
the South cease to buy their publications,
and cease to have Southern works pub
lished in ~ Northern houses. Fifthly, let
the South break off social intercourse with
the North as far as practicable.
We fcnow it may be said that these
measures are seHUh and unfeeling; but
necesti:y is upon the Sotitb. All mild
measures have been exhausted. Sacrifices
kow have to lie made by the South. Any
tanker submission to the North ceases to
be a virtue. When a spoiled child -ceases
to heed admonition and reproof, it is time
to apply the rod. We are not in favor of
making war with cafnnons, musket*, rifles,
pwtolss, swords and dirks. "Such a war.
we think, entirely unnecessary, fiut let
the South make war against the banking
inotitutiorrs, the commerce, the tmitrufac-
tories, the carrying trade, the publications,
the social intercourse, <fe«., of the North,
and the freedom shriekers will become as
mild as lambs. Let a million of people
in the free Slates be thrown out of busi-
ness, and starvation and ruin stare them in
the face, and the result will te that Black
Republicanism will atiuk in their nostrils.
We dislike to disoblige our friends in the
free States, but we offer them a remedy
for their sacrifices. Let them- transfer
their capital and business as fast as possi-
ble to the South. We have three livers
in Texas bursting out of the mountains—
San Antonio, Comal and $an Marcos—
which will drive millions of spindles; and
the raw material, cotton and wood, are on
the ground. Every coGnty *in the State of
Texas is a suitable place for a tan-yard and
shoe shop, and the hides are at 3iand.—
We also have mdur,tains-of iron ore in
Texas, inviting capital and skill in the
manufacturing of iron and steel utensils.
Then, we say, let the Northern people
came to the South by the thousand. We
do not ask them to trouble then* minds
about the subject óf tlotrrestio slavery.—
The South are perfectly willing'to take the
responsibility of holding the African race
in a state of subordination. We have
studied the subject fu'ly and fairly. The
African race are inferior to the Whites,
and their normal condition is in subjection
lo fhetn. If any white men or women in
the North think themselves no better thaw
a negro, they had better stay where they
but we invite all reasonable persons
