Rhode Island American And Gazette

That excellent and patriotic paper, the Charleston Courier, concludes an eloquent appeal to the disorganizers of South Carolina, in the following manner :—

"Pause then, ye nullifiers! pause, if ye are wise, even on the brink of the Rubicon, and calculate well the cost, ere you make the irretrievable plunge, and cross the fatal boundary. Recollect that you are dealing with the destiny of the State—that you are putting at hazard the glorious fabric of Union and regulated liberty, the precious legacy of a patriot ancestry —that you are sporting, in very wantonness, with the cherished aspirations of philanthropy, and the dearest hopes of the human race. In the name then of prudence and patriotism—in the hallowed name of your illustrious fathers who sleep in glory—in the hallowed name of your country—we would entreat you to pause in your headlong career—for whatever hopes of success may now animate your bosoms, failure may be your portion—and what will then be the result? The blood of friends and kindred shed in vain—the flag of freedom torn by freemen's hands, and stained with freemen's gore—the domestic altar fruitlessly profaned and violated—the victor's glory exchanged for the traitor's!—Behold this picture, and then if you "dare do more than may become a man,"

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war."
