OUK FUTURE POLICY.
Tlic prospect of Lincoln's prob?4dc sneers?, '
and of the triumph of a hostile sectional parly |
is bringing our prominent Statesmen to the
..consideration of the alternatives of submission
!,/>? diounion, nml Messrs. Kuirr and Bovce hav^e
recently expressed the opinion, tlint should the
Hlnck Republican puffy fain possession of the
government. 60one)v than submit to it, South
Carolina sliouldJStfc&d# alouo. The Charleston
Mercury in a le^ajWtMiele,-assumes the ground
that the consideration of the nlternativo of
separate Stale action is premature, as the issue j
of disunion will involvo cirfliinrmtnuepa toliinl. i
it is impossible nt present to anticipate, and ;
which mint modify our fHftafc action. But we |
can conocive of no circumstances, which in !
any event cnn reconcile us to a Black Kepubli- j
can Supremacy, and holding this opinion we :
can sec no impropriety, bnt in fact the hest of I
reasons for distinctly announcing our resolu- {
linn not to submit, evon though that alterna- '
live should involve separate Slate action. But
two alternatives will be preseutcd, submission !
or disunion, and if we are prepared to accept j
the latter, wc should calmly anticipate, and '
firililv resolve to meet all tho results which it I
inny involve. It would bo folly to attempt
now to mature the details of the mode and
measure of redress, but it is certainly the part
of lrae>Avrisdon^to consider before hand possiblo
contingencies, in order to provide against
thein the more sfleofag^y.
The following is the ariicle of the Mercury;
Messrs, Keitt and Boyce have expressed the
opinion, that nhould the Black itepuhliccu party
obtaiu possession of the General Government. I
Smith Carolina should eecedo alone from the |
Union, rattier than submit to it. When tit is 3> j
Icrnative is forced upon it#, it will bo uttenrlr,i
with circumstances; and whaljXP'Jrse u wj]l be
wise to purme, will, ncc?ssar ily, be affectcd l>v
these circumstances, within and without the !
Smte. At present, no forethought can ascertain
them. They are hid in the future. Secession,
therefore, by South Carolina alone, cannot be
fciriy considered, until events shall make up tha.
issue. At present, the Southern Stales, are
engaged with the Northern States in the
great matter of elcctiug tho Chief Magistrate of
the United States for four years after the fourth
of March next. The election turns, on the rights
of the South. These rights should be freely
di?cu>>sed; and all the consequences of their being
over-ridden in the Pfesideuihl election.
should bo ffttrly disclosed. Wcliave no sympnfjiy,
nnd leas reaped, for those who are dodg
ittg the question, of its effect upon the Union.?
If we ineun to submit to the rule of Black He*
publicnuism (decidedly the most probable result
of the Presidents) election), we ought to a/iv
so,?for that will hatfe an influence on the-result. i
If we do not moau to submit to the rule of Black (
Rfpublienniam, we ought ulso to Ray so?for that
also must influence the result. Such a course of 1
frankness and decision is not only pertinent to 1
the result, but in our opiuinn, gives us the only j
chance which exists, for-succeas iu the Presideii- ]
t'nial election. If the Northern people believo
that the Southern States will not submit to the '
election of Mr. Lincoln to the Pniflidency, he
will not he -elected. Dodging, therefore, the
issno of the Union, which docs incidentally arise
in the PresiJontial election, and luburiounly esqhewiug
disuniouism?ip h course impolitic iu its
hearing on the Presidential election, ^as it is inju- i
l ion* lo the South. But the remedy is not now
before Ua for consideration, bccauso the evil is
1H>I vet llfioil UP. Wtlpn'isp fntlin ?1io 1
ffdT election, nnd the 'blank Republican parly is^ 1
to bo installed into power at Washington, then ,
will ariae the question of remedira. We presume
411 atatesmen of the South will go for a union of
(He'South, us our first "'best remedy?United 1
Southern action, for the vindication oTSouthern j
ngbta. Even at tliit* fartlj?r stage of rftiPjContest g
for our right^ it may njj>J|gl>$. politic lo thrust for- .
ward, ns a remedy, the sh{w!ji|e#tid independent \
iction of South Carolina. "We sliouKl go f?r the *
co-action, of all the Southep* Stat**. If this "j
cannot be obtuiued, then jJMfchoultJ'support the {
co-action of the?!oitou Stafei. If thin fails, then
we should strive to get the co action of four,
three, or two of the Cotton Stfites. Should all 1
these expedients fail?then, and not unti}'&6u
comeH up the question?shall So9lh Carffitttg j
Muhm it to the rule of the Blank Republis^n'tM^S
in possession nl the General Government; OTShnlf" rS
sJie teccdo alone from the Union! Wftpb-thHT ^
alternative arisei^We will be prepureS^t'a/^jeet,. v
it- The past course pf the Charleston
we presume, affords glome assurance of ita-fidelirjr ff
to ihe South arid the State, in all emergencies'.
At nrMpnt onnli >" -? ? '

for redress. This, it appears to uh, is F

Under the above cnplTbri tho New York Ilernlil,
in nn elaborate article, has some very forcible
remarks. Tlic concluding portion of it
is us folio:
The Admission of tlio whole of Culifornia In
1850 nsn freo State destroyed tho equilibrium
between tbo North nnd the South in the Senate,
nud tnnde the States stand sixteen free
Stnien against fifteen slave States. The
South beiri? thus turned over to the mercy of
the North in both hdtftenof Congress, a very
great sensation followed in the Southern
Stntes. Thug,.in 18J51, the pre-existing Democratic
nn<l Wlilfe' parties were superseded in

: Howell Colib, lending <>(F with a majority?^#
| nearly 20,000 Hut in Sotilli Carolina the fg**
[ sue was nol between Union and disunion, but
between independent and co-operative eeees
won. The eo-operntionists succeeded, and as
no other States came to tho resell* South Curolina
was compelled to "wait a littlo longer."
The action of South Carolina, however, was
upon the comparative narrow issue of submitting
to the destruction of tho sectional erjuili
I briuni in the Senate by the ndmisrinn of California,
giving the North in that body thirtvI
two members, nwainst thi r..- ?i>? i
