SOUTEfERN TRIBUNE. EDITED tM> PUBLISHED WKESLV, er W' 11 . K . n A KRIS o V. From lUc Mobile Tribun*. DIRECT TRADE. It gnes me unfeigned pleasure to see a Southern Rights Society established in Mo bile. I Consider it the most useful institu tion under present circumstances which could be established amongst us. This, and similor associations, will become bea. con lights which we all may look to, and I hope to see one established in every coun. ty, not only of Alabama, but in every State in the wide South, for most truly do we require rallying points every where, where we may confer and study what is for out best interests as an enlightened and pa . otic people. There are many dfficulties the southern section labors under at present, any one of which would call for such societies. With out materially adverting to what we denom inate the Southern Question, there are others which I beg to make a few remarks upon, and upon the mode in which they are managed, confessedly, so veiy prejudicial *o the interests of Mobile, and of the South generally, and which are viewed with tc gret iiy tiiose who are capable of patriotic feelings of gratitude to the Lirf.ual Land t/mt, whether they be native or adopted citizens, gives them all a respectable living, bor instance, I will make a few remarks | upon the round about way that Mobile I and cur other cities procure foreign goods. I It is understood by all of us, that we im- E port very little direct from foreign lands. Ii iiu cargoes go to northern ports and the ■ goods are there sold, and again doled out I to the South in small quantities, at an ex- I tra expense of at least 20 per cent., and I sent here coastvvays. This is a 6trange I mode of doing business, because it is B most unnecessary, and by which we are j very great losers. That we nriy see our I own folly, blindness and mental indolence ■ in this matter a little better, let me take a B foreign nation, and let us see how we ; would judge of that nation in its adopting K the fame course we do in our mode of iin | ports. There is the great French na ion i —north and south. What would we think of the people of the south France, and i the city of Marseilles in particular, situa r> l fl| l 0,1 I lie Mediterranean, if they weie so | mentally obtuse as to think that all the cot | ton sent from this quarter to Franco mud jjlyfrft goto Havre, which is in the north of France on the Atlantic, change hands 1 there, part of said cotton be repacked in ■sm il! bundles, and whatever quantity of ■ tl*B article Marseilles and Lyons wanted, Bmust be sent round from Havre, along the shore, through the Straits of Gi- along the coast of Spain, up the Sea, and into Marseilles, Blat an additional charge of 20 or 30 per ■ jeent. on the original cost at Havre, and ■|he same obtuse mode adopted with coffee, Blind all the imports which the south of B' ranee requires from foreign parts. — fcWoui.] we not be ready at once to exclaim, K&viiy don’t these people bring their cotton, Ac., from the foreign country di ■ect to the ports where they are wanted, save all this time and extra expense 1 Wgd'hese people are behind the age ! we «jvould say. This is just what Mobile and BJ*cw Orleans do with the Northern States jgarding foreign ports. Again, the Southern part of France is initily a wine country, just as Alabama nd Florida are cotton countries. What ould we think of the people of southern ranee if they placed their sole depend nee for wealth upon the sale of their wines one, and that they imported from north -n France every article in the useful mo radical arts, from a needle to an anchor, the saying is—fiorn a child’s rattle to a sum engine, chairs, tables, beds, incite ;d— that in the great city of Marseilles a ain man like myself could not procure a iif of comfortable walking shoes made home, but be compelled to put up with pair of northern French manufacture, and in point of fact that there was not a K last in all Marseilles by which a com •table pair of plain shoes could be made? »and last, though not least, that the most lustrious women of Marseilles could t obtain a stitch of sewing, from the tre sndous influx of slop shirts, and every ler garment from the penitentiaries and er workhouses of Paris, Rouen and vre ? What would we think of the ! >ple of Marseilles if they adopted this dos political economy ? We would in say that they were behind the age this is the way matters arc conducted Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. But jrseilles does not adopt this mode of do- Hhusiness, nor does the south of France ■lt generally. There is no superior vir Hin the word "north,” in the minds of ■ people in their commercial and indus- trial arrangements. Marseilles is the first maratime city of France; Bordeaux, which is on the Atlantic, is the next, and Lyons is one of the first manufacturing ci ties in the world, all of them in a oJinnate resembling Alabama and Florida. J rue, at present our agricultural woalth is very great, but it appears that tlieie is an immense sluice setting out from Mobile and the south generally that takes off nearly all the wealth of our fields, and but a small portion remains for us. We must set to work and stop the drain. This can be done by importing direct what foreign J goods we require, and by encouraging the useful industrial arts at home. We must do more —wo must cool down northern zeal and northern dictation and compel them to keep their tongues out of our soup kettle. If we do not that people will finally pos sess all the wealth of our lands til! these lands are worn out; and let us lake this unc.i >ti to our nouls, they will 50 no fai ther, and in their zeal bestow upon us, or rather perpetuate upon us, a free black populat ion, a thousand, times more worthless, loquacious ami idle than the rfj\lcx~ ico or the Lazaroni of Naples. With all the southern lands worn out and all the profits they have made lodged in northern pockets, I may safely say that Mobile is done for, and can never reach the magni tude and commerce of Marseilles, which I before quoted, and which in other, and more prudent, wise and favorable circunv stances, might easily he done. There are magnificent undertakings going forward at present for the improvement of Mobile and of Alabama generally, and 1 rejoice to see it—but we must endeavor to make direct importation and our patronage of home industry in the useful arts go hand in hand with these improvements. If we d-i not, but, on the contrary, goon as here tofore, our internal improvements will only go to enrich lire north, and Mobile New Orleans, and all our other southern cities will continue what they have always been, more dependeneits of New York. Many go >d citizens amongst us see no thing to he alarmed at in the political atmosphere, and they consider old ways \ cry good ways, and that we may go mi just as usual. For one, I beg to differ vvitli them. I think that we cun not be too jealous of our political liberties —of our full and independent weight in the national councils, anu, of the mighty drains upon our pecuniary resources. The > ichcsl land the sun ever shone upon may he drained of its wealth till it is beggared. 1 have only to point to Ireland. There the land is the i idlest in Europe, and there the people are the poorest. We all know Ireland’s misfortunes and Ireland s misery, and how did this come about ? It was her misfortune to have careless, extravagant reckless landed proprietors; and she had, what was perhaps worse, a most active, intelligent, industrious and avariciou s neighbor, England, that between the one party and the oilier drained fiorn Ireland her agricultural wealth and left nothing for the people but their poverty. All the wealth of Ireland for the last one hundred years is now in England. Irish landlords squandered their rents in foreign lands.— England legislated for them. English merchants and English cities transacted all their business, and left the Irish people to be hewers of wood auddrawers of water for their more adroit brethren. I therefore consider the instituting of southern tights societies in every countv of the fifteen stales to he very things wo require They are in their nature eminent ly patriotic and conservative, and as they are sure to he guided and conducted by gentlemen of the first standing for talent which the southern country can produce, they wiil tend to encourage direct importa tion to our shores, —they will keep up the stimulus and desires to patronise home in dustry and the practice of tho useful arts, and they will oppose with irresistible force northern dogmatism, pltai isaical domineer ing and political usurpation. South Side. Ihe Jug and run Hkaiit. — Tho jug is a most singular utensil. A pail, tqmblcr or decanter may be rinsed, and you may satisfy yourself by optical proof that it is clean; but the jug has a little hole in the top, and the interior is all darkness. No eye penetrates it—no hand moves over the surface. \ou can clean it. only by put ting in water, shaking it up and pouring it ou*. if tho water comes out clean, you judge you have succeded in cleaning the jug, and vice verm. Hence the jug is like the human heart. No mortal eye can look into its recesses, and you can only judge el its purity by what comes out of it. Singular Fact. — In a late elaborate report of ihe London Board of Health, it is slated that when the cholera prevailed in that city, twelve months ago, only 13 cases occurred among ihe .Tews, although ihero are over 22.000 in London. The same thing was observed in the gieat ep idernio of 1532. From the Southern Press. | The .New Coaiproaiive violated. From the annexed account of the ad Ij'jurr.ed i iiompsox mee ing at Boston, which we clip from the Post, it will be seen that the new Compromise—“keep our negrea ifyou will hiss English Aboli tionists,” has also bee*n violated. What will the Union, Enquirer, Intelli gencer, Ac., do now ? The polise, it seems, is atrrmg enough to put down “popular demontrutions” a gainst foreign Abolitionists, while utterly powerless to protect the property or per sons ofslaveholding fellow citizens. George Thompson, the British M. P., had a friendly hearing last night in the Belknap Street Church, well-devised measures for ensuring a congenial andi ence having been adopted and carried in to effect by a committee off rrangements. aided by an efficient body of police under the immediate direction of Marshal Tukey. A rope was thrown across the end of the alley leading to tiie church, leaving only a small opening on the upper side, were stationed a sub committee of colored men, who knew who was who, and whenever they challenged an unpopular white face, Capl. Samuel Adams, chief of that parti cular post, ordered him to the light about, and it be did oot obey promptly one or more of the police expedited his move mems. In this way, the audience was pretty effectually silied of offensive ing! ed ients. The church was densely ciowded, the general mass being variegated byab ut 130 white men and women. Mr. J. T. Hilton,the well known dealet in second band clothes in Brattle Si., and ranking high among lie colored populaiion for intelligence and enterprise, p esided, having in his fronton the platform William Loyd Garris n, Samuel E. Sewall, Fran cis Jackson, and the Rev. M r. Coker, and two or three oilier w hite men - Wendell Phillips, Edmund Quincy, J. N. Buffum, Wil iam H. Canning, and other white per sons also of the out-and-out abolition par ty. occupied pews in front of the pulpit. Mr. Ganison read a long coagratulatoi v hymn, writtenfor the occasion; Mr. Hilton delivered a vetv respectable opening ad dress, and Charles L.JTemomJ, a colored man, of Salem, made a regular welcome address, in which he took occasion to de nounce Father Mathew, by styling him •‘Theobold Mathew, the apostate to our cause.” It may be remembered that Fa ther Mathew, when engaged in his tern perunee mission in this city in 1840, re fused to attend and address an abolition meeting got up by the Ganisoniatis. Having received the right hand of fel lowship trom Remotid, M r. Thompson was conducted from the platform to the pul pit, and proceeded with bis discouise, much of which was written, but some very eloquent and felicitous passages, suggest ed by the scene before him were extern - po ancons. It was of couse a thorough going anti-slavery production, but contain ed nothing new on the main subject. In speaking of the Faneuil Hall meeting on Friday night, lie attributed all the disor- der to some hundred and fifty or two hun dred boys or beardless youths, instigated by older heads who were not present : the venal minions of State street. He spoke about an hour, and many of his ingenious conceits, expressed in epigrammatic lan guage, and exhibiting great art in that line, were much applauded. He was followed by Wendell Phillips. No disorder occurred. The statement of the Post is evidently softened down, hut the Courier, gives a few additional particulars as follows . The proceedings in the Church were conducted in an orderly manner, and witnessed by all the leading apiiits of the Anti-Slavery parly. The speech of welcome delivered by C. L. Kemond, and Mr. Thompson occupied about an hour in his response. It was in every particular an anti-slavery speech. Alluding to the confusion at Faneuil llall, he said he would give any champion of slavery an opportu nity to discuss the question with him, and wonld allow him the advantage of two hours lohis-one, — and a jury selected by his adversary should pronounce be tween them. Mr. Thompson is an impos ing speaker, and as a mere elocutionist has few equals. In many repects, his ges lures resemble those of some of the great play-actors, and his language, too, has a diamatic coloring. His speech last night was a history of ihe anti slavery movement, together with a biographical sketch of sundry “philanthropists,” W. L. Garrison included. After speaking of the groans at Faneuil Hall in honor of John Bull, Mr. Thompson assured the audience that England was with them. She "hears not the groans of the venal minions of Sta'c street, but she hears the groans of the slave,” etc. etc. This may serve as a specimen of entertainment, which was ap plauded most cnthusiastica'ly. The spea ker seemed to enjoy his own performances, and exhibited high spirits The Post also says : At the meeting of tho mayor and aider men yesterday afternoon, Mr. Edmund Quincy, in behalf of the officers of tiie Thompson reception meeting, desired a hearing on the pait of the board of a com plaint which he wished to make against City Marshal Tukcy "for notorious neg lect of duty on that occasion.” The com plainants were desired to present a peti tion to the board, and were advised that a hearing sould be granted to to them before the appropriate committee. This does not look very like putting down abolitionism in Boston : and the "re cation,” so confidently predicted, seems to have turned the wrong way. A Pun, sorntcAL 111 cubic. —The veter. an Matthew Carey tells the annexed capit al anecdote of a distinguished Judge of Pennsylvania, in the Knickerbocker Maga zine : "He stole his grandmother’s fan. and covered it for a considerable time in a i mudpuddle. Maving disguised it as com pletely as in his power,he sent it to the So | ciety, wi:h an elaborate description, to prove that it was the wing of a Gat. It was re ceived with due solemnity, and a vote of thanks passed to the donor. A debate arose as to the species to whichit belonged —and a committee of seven was appoint ed to ascertain whether it was the wing of a Madagascar or a Candia bat. Thecom mittee sat three weeks —and after con sulting Buffon’s Natural History and Gol dsmith’s Animated Nature, they reported u must have belonged to a Madagascar bat. It was pronounced the greatest cur iosity in the Museum, except a large sheet of orown paper which he had hung up in the chimney and disguised with soot and diit, and palmed upon the Society as part of a Brahmin's shirt!” IC7*Soap bubbles are airy things, but they soon burs:. Just so it is with men puf' fed up with vanity. They make a show for a season —sail on the current, but soon burst and nothing is left of them Pride is an ingredient lhat is never found in ex alted human nature. It is mixed in the composition of fools. Man whohasa mind to cult Rate and a heart to improve, never finds lime to lie proud. I' t’N. —Theproceedingsat the Woman’s Rights Convention, lately held at Worces- Mass. have afforded much amusement to editors at the North. The Boston Daily Evening Transcipt has a capital article in reference to ibe subject. It purports to be written June 7t1i,1902. It says: “ Jhe first Congress of the Noithern Confederacy has been in session at Albany lor some days. The President was con tined.on Tuesday last, anil safely delivered of twins. Site is unable, therefore, for the pVesent, to attend to the business of the nation. Several members of the Cabinet are near their time ; and the Secreiaiv of war is weaning her liabv. Congress is, therefore, thinking of a recess, and of ma king a pilgrimage to Pensylvaoia. and vis iting the grave of the illustrious Molt.” . Jhe writer does not inform us of the col or of the President or members of the Cabinet; but as several colored ladies and gentlemen participated in the doings of the Convention, we may infer that a portion ofthe officers mentioned are descendants of that class. The family of Fred. Dou glas con'd not be overlooked, seeing'hat his society was so much courted by the female orators of the Convention.— Haiti more Clipper. pCT" A correspondent of the Boston Chrono'ype gives a shoit account of a pub lie meeting that was lately held in Filch butgb, Masschusetts in relation to the fu gitive slave law. He says a clergyman present uttered the following senttimem: “ If there is a devil in hell, he will have his laiy and those that made it, and if he don’t get those that made it, why then its no use to have a devil any longer.” Northern Love for the South. —At the opening of the Northern Railroad at Ogdensburga few days ago, a feast was given. The toast of "Canada annexation” was given, which brongbt to his feet Mr. T. C. Chandler, of Boston, the President of the company. He declared himself to be opposed to that annexation, and here are some of his reasons : "I have heretofore thought (said he) that a union of the two countries was de sirable, but I think so no longer. My views have changed since the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill by our Congiess. In the name of humanity, in the name of all that is good, in the name of God, (I speak it with reverence,) let. there remain "nn spot on this northern continent where the uhite buzzards of the south cannot sa tiate tlnir hellish appetites on black vie tuns. Let there be ope locality where that thickly woven net of villanies. the fu gitive slave bill, cannot be spread.” The speech was received with great ap. plnuse. Served Him Right. —li is said that one of the southerners lately arrested and held to hail in Boston, on the charge ofslander. (but, in reality, because he was supposed to be in pursuit of a slave,) was in fact a southern merchant who had gone to Bos ton to purchase goods. If that was the case, we have not the slightest sympathy with him, and only hope that every south ern man who patronizes such a nest of ab olitionists may meet with the same fate. Richmond ( Va ) Republican. South Carolina Legislature. —This body convened in Columbia on last Mon day, 2oth inst. Hon. R. F. W. Allston was elected President of the Senate, and Mr. Jas. Simons, speaker of the House. The Governor’s Message is spoken of as an able document, MACON, G A SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30.

Premium Cotton.—The first premium of the South Carolina Institute, was awarded to J. V- Jones, of Six Oaks Farm, Burke bounty, Geor gia, for the best quality of Upland Cotton. We learn, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, that at the request of the Committee, Mr. Jones' fac' tors, Hopkins, Hudson & Cos., have consented [O its being forwarded to the World’s Fair to l>e held at London. .More Abolition Outrages — Practical Ope rations of the Fugitive Law. —We learn, sav* ibe Baltimore Sun, that Mr. J. G. McPheetersi while on his passage from St. Louis to Raleigh, N.C., was detained in Pittsburg one day last week, awaiiing the boat for Brownsville, and whilst there had a servant stolen from him by the abolitionists of that place. She was in at tendance on his child as a nurse, and had been tender.y and kindly raised, her parents and grand.parents being favorite heuse-servants in his father's family, and the child having no mo ther was tenderly attached to her, who had al ways been her companion—so much so that she is now lying ill in this city, caused by conbn ued mourning for her. On application to the Marshal and some friends, as to what could be done towards her recovery, lie was told that such teas the state of feeling in Pittsburg, anil such were the arrangements of the abolitionists, that THERE WAS NO CHANCE FOR HIM TO RECOVER THE SERVANT. Mr. Me- Piieeters states that such was ' he afferpon ofliis child for this servant, and such the regard which the whole family had lor lie , lhat had lie lipoii offered five lliousund dollars in gold for her, it would have been no temptation to him to part with her.

Gazette says : “We are gratified to be able to announce to our readers that this work has actually commenced, and that, after many yea sos hard struggle, we, at last, have the assurance that the object so induslr ouslv sought, is destined to be. accomplished.

Mr. Dale has been aciing for seveial week*, his predecessor, during the time, being engaged in explaining and adjusting the bus!ness, with the view of facilitating future transactions. Col.

The occasion drew a vast num be-of strangers to our city, and the Hall was crowded with visitors during the whole course oftlie Exhibition. It was indeed a very inter esting show-, with less variety of more I'ancv ar ticles than tho former Exhibition, bn with a much huger number of the useful One saw abundant proofs that the substantial mechanic arts have received of late a great impulse, and they may now be numbered among the sources of our wealth. “These proofs were not limited to Charles ton, nor to this State. Georgia and Norih Car olina were represented by nianv and creditable specimens of their grow ing skill, and it is not ono of the least encouraging features of this annual Fair, that it at the same time diffuses widely the spirit of improvement and generous rivalry, and brings together the active and in ventive minds of a large region of the South.— Yoar by year, too, tho circle of its influence will widen, arid tho threads thatconnect it witli the industrial pursuits of our country will multi ply and gain strength. The prospects of the In stilute seem to us altogether cheering, and the problsrn of its utility fairly solved.” ITT Somebody in Washington is already send, ing out glimpses of tho contents of the annual reports of the Secretaries. A despatch to a Philadelphia paper says : “The Report of the Secretary of the Treasu ry begins with an auspicious representation of the financial state ofaffaits. A modification of the present tariff is recommended in some par ticulars. These rumors can be relied on.” O’ Tho National Intelligencer publishes a table showing that the population of tho United States has increased every ten years from I7!)0 about one-third ; and that inasmuch as it may be supposed the same increase has been maintained since 1840, the census of this year will make •he number of inhabitants, exclusive of our ac- , qtiisition from Mexico, 2*2,757,483, perlmps23,- 000,000. The numbers are taken from the offi cial enumerations ” TUB USSI LT. From the returns we have received from some ofthe most reliable counties in the State, which have been certainly disastrous enough, we fear the ultra Submissionis sand Yankee allies have carried Georgia. There is now but a bare pos sibility that the Southern Rights party will |,avo the control of the Convention. We are well a . ware lhat some tickets have been carried in fa! I vorof the Submission party by adopting a plat. I form almost identical with those upon which the Southern Rights men have planted themselves. But this is nothing. We have seen too much of the elasticity of conscience, and noted the va. rious grades of dilatibility before and affer an election, to suffer this to fool us. We expect all those gentlemen to a man, who could not see any “hostile intention” against us down to the day of the election, to forget the ultima tums they have laid down for Congress, after they gel into the Convention. It is enough for us to know that the Southern Rights party went before the country with 30 years of insult and injury to plead in behalf of Slate interposition, and lhat the Yankee party met this by the cry of submission, and beat us. Now we ask, suppose Congress repeals the Fugitive Slave Bill, (which is as sure as that Georgia will submit to it,) and what avail will It bo to say that before this election Southern dough faces swore they would fig’ut if it were done. These millennium bullies, that are put ting off their battles till there shall he peace on ear.lt anil good will to all men, are not going to forget that they carried their parly into power by the banner-cry of Union, and when the Fu gitive Bill shall be repealed—when slavery shall he abolished in the District—when Sena tor Baldwin $ doctrine of the power of Con gress over slavery on the seas shall he reduced topiaclical effect—yea, when sluvery in Gear ga is abolished—that same lus of parly power, anu that same cry of Union, will crush our ri.;i ks down to the yoke During this canvass, just as we predicted, free soil opinions have gained cou age, and are beginning to take root. Among the hundreds ol cases we have heard of o. a similar char.tc.er, we know of an instance in which s crowd was told by a zealous speaker among the first men in the Stale, that tho Hughes and Knight case was all stuff, anu by another that lie would not fight for .he negroes of the rich man—another lhat he would vote to free the blacks tomorrow ahd another answered when war tied of the ultimate consequences 0,. submission, that if 1 lie negroes were set free, i could not he done under 3 or 4 years, and by thaj time, lie could, by their labor, make enough to take care of his family upon. This man now makes 120 bales of cotton. In very truth, whole public sentiment is in an awful condition in regard to slavery. Last September, Georgia was a unit upon the question of Southern Rights and Southern remedies; but now through the evil agency of two ofthe worst men that ever betrayed the faith of a confiding people, won ders have been accomplished towards the ruin at the South. Abolitionists heie and tolerators of abolition, have forgotten that never in these States lias practical abolition been attempted.— Nowhere in this hemisphere unless it be in the French, English and West India Islands hat that thing been tried And look at the ruin there. But here where tho blacks number almost one for one, it will b« a fair trial sure enough Let no man laugh at ns for speaking sogravclv in regard to the aboli tion in the States. As sure as wit live, that now is the queston—it has been all the time. We must wait we suppose, a little longer for a direct and an explicit answer from the majority in re gard to slavery We have no confidence in or tiie least respect for the deliberations of a South ern Convention, under the lead and magistracy o! that “base Judean' Robt Toombs. He vvilj not only go for surrender, but for every mark of disgrace and ignominy upon the State that gave him birth to curse and crush her. But if under the lead of the wicked crew that have already done so much to brand our honor and our inter ests, a further attemptshall be made to st length en the North on our own soil; we who expect to stay on this soil, must then begin to take care of ourselves and little ones. The consequence, of this war on us, through the disguise of Slave institution,are too awful to he compromised with. We warn politicians seekers after national honors,that must be paid for in our heart’s blood to pause before they push their experiments upon our stupidity and patience too far. We implore them to remember that their cause may not only lead to war between the South and tiie Government, hut to war unions' ourselves. Wo beg them to remember that if once already, for a contemptible lax of 4 cents per pound on lea this thing has fallen upon us, that it may again he brought upon us in seeking to avert even a greater horror than civil war, the amalgamation of black and white by this Government. SOUTHERN CONVENTION—LAST DAY. The Convention met pursuant to an adjourn ment Prayer by Rev. Dr. Edgar. Gen. Gordon, of Va., moved that the pream* bio and resolutions bo recommitted to the com mittee. Mr. McDaniel, of Ga., called for the previous question, which was put, and carried without dissent. . Mr. Gordon, of Va., gave notice that the committee on resolutions would hold its meeting forthwith. <Mr. McDariel, of Ga , offered the following resolutions, which were read and referred ; Whereas, combinations of citizens in many of the non-slaveholding states have assailed the rights and plundered the property of the citi zens of tho slaveholding states, or most of tho non-slaveholding states of this Union have by penal enactments, iriterdieted within their I Unite, the enjoyment and exereisc of liberties and rights guarantied to the citizens of the slave holding states by the Constitution of the United States. And whereas, the general Government lias confiscated the rights of the citizens of ihe slaveholding Slates in the territories acquired from .Mexico, and withdrawn its protection from us —and instead of being a shield for our right* lias becomo a sword for our destruction Be il> therefore,
