A Warning.
South Carolina is preparing to assume an extreme position, which we fear will bring disaster upon her, and do more to crush the cause of the South and endanger all our institutions than can arise in any other way. Every friend of Southern Rights should endeavor to restrain such rash precipitancy, which would hazard the great issues of national existence and human happiness upon the separate action of one State, and that one whose whole white population is not much more than half that of the city of New York.—Mobile Register.
[The paper from which we copy the above, was, during the pendency of the compromise measures in Congress, as decided in its opposition to them, as any paper at the South, not even excepting those of South Carolina.]
