Charles City (Iowa, United States) (search for this): article 3
rld] Well, South Carolina has crossed the Rubicon. She unanimously passed her Secession Ordinance yesterday, and is doubtless expecting that all creation will feel the shock. They seem, however, to have taken it very quietly at Washington, and we doubt whether there will be much nervousness elsewhere. South Carolina is to-day, in spite of her ordinance, just as completely and absolutely a part of the American Union as she was yesterday. She might as well have resolved the harbor of Charles on to be no longer a part of the Atlantic Ocean. The city can no more recede from the tides than the State can secede from the bonds which bind this great Union together. South Carolina, by herself, is helpless; and unless the other slave States come to her relief, she will soon be in a most pitiable condition — the condition of all those whose realized achievement falls ridiculously short of their declared aim. The only apprehension that need be felt, is from the chance that the other So

The public Press on Secession. From the latest papers North and South, we take the following expressions of opinion relative to the recent action of South Carolina: [from the Petersburg (Va.) Intelligencer.] It is with deep sorrow that we chronicle this hasty and ill-advised action of our sister State. Refusing to wait for the result of the efforts which her Southern confederates were making for an amicable and satisfactory settlement of all our grievances, she has rashly and preenergies to remove all causes of dissension. The action of the South Carolina Convention will, we hope, instead of diminishing, largely add to their number. For one, we promise them our cordial and unfaltering co-operation. [from the Petersburg (Va.) Express] There was but little discussion upon the question. A single day — probably a single hour — sufficed for the introduction, reading and passage of this document, which, however popular in South Carolina, has yet to undergo the o

the nullification ordinance of 1833 was a formal and full document in comparison with this, prescribing a cause of resistance to the laws and authority of the United States, and on this ground the proclamation of Gen.

This is as cool a proceeding towards foreign goverlina, or receive or negotiate with her agents. The duty of the Federal Government is plain. It is to enforce the laws in every part of the territories of the United States, without regard to the attitude assumed by any portion of the inhabitants therein.

d influences connected with this astounding act of South Carolina, will have to pass upon it. To say that the intelligence of the event surprised or startled us, would be to say what was not true. We had prepared our mind fully for it. We could not have expected that the Convention would hesitate or falter in doing what it was specially and solely commissioned to do. We have never believed in the wisdom or efficacy of separate secession. We felt always convinced that the election of Lincoln and Hamlin would be followed by the most disastrous excitement at the South, and that the Union would be imminently periled, if not destroyed. But, then, we thought that the slave States would all join in a common action, whatever that action might be, as it was unquestionably their duty and their interests to do. We could hardly suppose that any one of them would consider it right or politic to detach herself entirely from the others and withdraw separately. But the thing has been done,

We remember when she was ready to go to the death for Gen. Hamilton's sugar, when it was said of her, "dules et decorum est pre patria mori. "--But it was sweeter yet to come back, and she came back. She may do so again. It is so easy to pass resolutions, so difficult to execute them. Her first act of sovereignty is rather ludicrous. She asks the Government from which she secedes to conduct for her postal system! However, she is gone, and If she is gratified by the manner of her going, the gratification is one which nobody, we fancy, will grudg
