How the Halter Stands
The vote in the Senate on Tuesday last, to post*
pen© the consideration of the hill for the admta
tsion of Kansas, is strongly indicative of tbe do.
feat of that measure for the present session. The
election for President will doubtless devolve upon
the present House of Representatives, and that
body will, therefore, in all probability, contain
| only thirty three jJtatc electoral votes. Os these,
; a majority will be seventeen, and with the ex-
I peeled aid of California and Oregon, the South
will wiu the prise. If, therefore, “ spoils” were
the object of the .Southern Democracy, even the
i consideration of policy is wauling to iuduce them
! to abate their dernnnd for a ** couud mau upon a
• sound platform.” With su:h a standard-bearer,
1 and such principles, they will be invincible in ev
ery Southern State, and we ar> assured that the
i representatives of the above mentioned States,
1 will cordially co-operate with thorn. The time
i for despair ha* not yet come.

THK UNION OF THK STATES, AM! THK SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATKS.
Washington Cur. of Savannah New?.
WaamaOTOw. June 7th.
The chief matter of interest at the Capitol and
everywhere in the city, to day, was In the private
dispatches revolved by Senators from the Georgia
Democratic Fiato Convention and from the Ala
bama Democratic Convention. The anti-Doug
las men are in ecstatic*, because they suppose
that Douglas will be excluded by the adoption of
the majority platform i. c., the Snnthrm plat •
form. He cannot, constantly with hU doctrines
stand on that platform. The regular delegation
from Georgia are instructed. it seems, t. obtain
the recognition of that platform, or withdraw in a
body and unite with tho Southern Convention at
Hichtnond. The recommendations of Secretary
Cobb and Senator Toombs, and of the signers of
tho address of Southern member* to the seecders
are, therefore, acted upon, as is understood here
by the Georgia Convention.
But another set of delegates, called hagy* in the
despatches,)? also sent by the Douglas men to
Baltimore, So with Alabama, and perhaps other
States of the South. Thus, if the “majority plat
form” be not conceded to tho South by the Con
vention at Baltimore, the Southern delegations,
or several of them, will secede and unite with the
South Corsllna delegates at Richmond, where
they will adopt the Southern platform and make
a good nomination, which the South and all true |
Democratic State? can support.
But, on the other hand, tho whole proceeding t
falls in with the view? and plans of the Dongle*
men. as they are now represented
After the withdrawal of the regular anti Doug
las Southern delegations, the btujHi Douglas dide
gate? from the South will be admitted. Douglas
will then he nominated upon tho Cincinnati plat
form.
The New York and the North-Western delega
tions have determined that tin? shall be so. The
New York delegation have decided and declared
that they cannot trust to success,in the election in
their State, with any other standard 1 tourer than
Douglas. They have got their plane. They will
be carried out. They are under the impression
that, with Douglas they can carry two of the
great States, Pennsylvania and New York, and,
probably, Connecticut. New Jersey and Indiana.
Further, they believo that Douglas will carry
pome of tho Southern Staff?, if not all of them,
and be elected. They sav it is tho only chnnoo
to redeem the North, and to prevent the election
of the Chicago nominees.
The Senate have unexpectedly concurred in
Ihellotiro resolution to terminate the session on
tho 10th inst. But it is thought probable that
tho vote will bo re-considered. Neither House
will be ready to adjourn >SO noon.
The Senate by a te?t vote gave the go ly to
the House Bill for the admission of Kansas. They
will hardly take D up again.
Ante the Tariff Bill, ihe Senate Committal) < n
Finances will report against it, and in favor > f a
loan to meet deheiencie- in revenue, and to ab
sorb the Treasury notes.

Hon. William F. Samford, of Alabama, a dele
gate the Richmond and Baltimore < on\entioii,
thus write- to the Montgomery Advertiser :
“And now, gentlemen, it ia roriously proposed

Mr. Bell hu* the advantage of being a Southern

frankly that 1 have no n *ro faith in many of the

Douglas. I greatly discredit the .Southern Rights
pretension? of this Administration, and bad us
.-.oon trust Douglu* or Bell, its Howell Cobh, Mr.

the hour of four o’clock the ladies begun to pour
Into the aisles, and in u lew minute* every avail

here and there a gentleman was observed, uud he
looked very much out of place, mixed up with
splendid dresses and gorgeous bounds. The par

(TUMBI S. VtKBXKNII.iI. Jl MR lit. IMUI
V. M. I*. P. S
I By request of those whom it most deeply eon
■ corn*, we publish tho following resolutions. We
have no knowledge of the organization from
which they purport to emauutc. W# are led to
suspect,however, that it is uu association of
young men of defeated <t*pi rat loin, wire moot
periodically for the purpose of mutual consola
tion. A? such, their object, if not worthy, is suf
ferable, ami for it we have no word ul‘censure.—
Tho wound? of the heart excite our telly and
should receive* tho most tender treatment. W©
may suggest, however, that it is not exactly thi
volric in gentlemen to appeal to the fear? of lu*
dies. They are. proverbially, timid creature*,
and might bo induced, under tbe excitement of
fear, to di* what might never bo undone, and
what they would regret the remainder of their
lives, to-vlt—marry a member of tho above as
sociation. If their affection cannot be won. their
hand? should not be coveted, and a gentleman
who houtWlly exerts hi? l*et powers to please,
and receives the prunella, should wear it? au
prre.-iou as a badge of honor and And compla
cent in the consciousness of having discharged
lib:duty to bis country and bis fellow woman.
Here are thereJoltUion?:
‘•Whereas, our organization lias been perma
nently 1:-1 aidishod under lbe tiUo of the ‘‘Young
Men ? Prunella Propelled Society.” it heenmosus
to offer to tbis community a scries of resolutions,
retting forth our complain tu for having been so
scjiooaly persecuted of lute, by the young ladies
ofi'olambu? and it? vieiuity.
And Whereas, it behoove? u* as young men,
living a •dierlyand circumspectly a? we have
done, to appeal to the father* and molherr, who
have a abiding intcrot in the future welfare of
their daughter?, to beseech them to have eampo*-
cion <>n n- , anJ consent re- -change their youthful
feeling-, re* the -edaiencs? of an ancient.*’
And whereas, we dislike to gee young men
coming in from onr ,-ister S'totes and heoomiug
“ounan Y- of fill they survey.” We feel us an ac.t
of just ice t” ourselvt -. that we can hut put in our
protest .i.'.i ml their action. As friend? of this
community, wu hope* Hint or preteai will iu*i he
disregarded, but taken into serious eon: ideration
in the family cirelc Therefore be it
Resolved, 1.-i. Thui having lawn informed late
by tho \ oung ladies, that “they wouhl still he our
friends.” or that “they would still entertaiu the
highest regard for u..,” wo are impelled to meet
together to elicit the sympathy and condolence
that is ueonry and requisite for “faint hearts.”
Ri-.su!red,2d. That we view with much alarm
the action of the yonng ladie? of this place, and
a? good citi ‘.ons, we feel called upon to express
our ceinmre and disapprobation at the Course they
have pursued, and would respectfully advise their
parent? to reprimand them for their conduct.
Resolved, :;d. That wo are yet willing to make
overture., of a serious nature, provided they give
a? sufficient encouragement to justify such ail
act upon “iir part, and give a hope of Uocesd.
Resolved tth. That we having undergo.!© ?e
veremortification and .diuost menial derange
ment from the folly of the young Indies, we are
compelled to reck tho summer resorts for our
health at an early day. In doing this we herein
publicly invite those of the fairs*x to accompany
iii> who will as publicly renounce their course of
conduct, and determine to follow u? through ‘evil
ire well a-good report’or cheerful!? consent to
be our? ‘fuf better or for worse.*
Resolved tli. That w offer tlire preamble and
thruK* resolutions to tin? young ladies of Golmu
Im -and it? vicinity for their approval and, to In
dneothein to pan so and think before their condi
tion becomes remediless, for ero long tho last
dun., c will bnvo lied. By giving us satisfactory
evidence of tbeir approval of tho foregoing, they
would effectually accord to tho foreigner* tua ‘cold
shoulder,’ and relieve ire of tho‘dry swallow*.'-
Unless this bo done and that speedily, we will
cease all efforts to plena© them, or relieve them of
any embarrassment, it. matter? not if they are
to our knowledge • wallflowers’ or doomed to he

to publish this preamble and the** resolutions,
so that the voting ladies may kuow what lo de
pend upoh.’

N AsnviLi.K, May 21, lSlith
Dear Sir. Official information of my uoinina
th>n to the Presidency by the National Unlou
Convention, of which you were the presiding
officer, was coiniuuuieatcd to me by your letter
of the llth instant, ut IMuludclplm, oil tho evo
of my departure with tny fumily for my place of
residence in Tennessee, amt diffident as l was, of
my worthiness. I did not hesitate to signify my
intention to accept Ihe position assigned to mo
by that distinguished ami patriotic body. But
for convenience, and under n sonso of propriety
of acting in so grave a matter with greater de
liberation, I concluded, a? I informed yon at tho
time by a private note, to defer my formal ac
cept once un tit alt cr my arrival ut home.
Now, th>t l have hud all the leisure l could de
sire for reflection upon tho circumstances under
which the nomination v ns made, the purity of
the motives, and the lofty spirit of patriotism
by which t‘u* Convention was animated, us evin
ce*! in all ire procoeding?, lean uppreointe more
justly tlo honor done me by the nomination; and
though it might have been more fortunate tor the
country had it fallen upon someone of tho many
distinguished -'tafesmen whose names werebrought
to the notice of the Convention, rather than my
olf, 1 accept it. with all it? possiblo ruspousibil
iiie.?. Hlmti ver may bo the iseneof the ensuing
canvass, a? for myself, I shall ever regard it ns a
proud distinction, (one worth a life long effort to
attain,) to be pronounced worthy to receive the
highest office in the Government at such a tiino a?
the present, and by such a Convention us that
which recently met in Baltimore- a Convention
far loss imposing by tho number of its members,
large a? it was, than by their high character.
In it were men venerable alike for their age
and tbeir pithlie services, who could not have
been called from their voluntary retirement from
public life but by the strongest sense of patriotic
duty; others, though still in tho prime of life,
ranking with the first men of the country by hon
ors and distinction? already acquired in high of
lieiul positions, State and National; many of
thorn statesmen worthy to till tho highest office
in the government: a still greater number, oecu
pying the highest rank in their respective pro
to?'donai pursuit?: other! distinguished by their
intelligence aud well earned influence in various
walk? of private life: and all animated and uni
ted bv one -pint and one purpose, the result of a
strong c..u\ ietiou that our political system, un
der the operation nfyi complication of disordors, is
rapidly approaching a crisis when a speedy
change must take place, indicating, a? in dt**ns
• of the physical body, recovery *-r death.
The Convention, in discarding the use of plat
form . eXfttds no pledge? from those whom they
deem Worthy of the highest tnisteunder the Hov
eminent; wisely considering that the surest guar
anty “i a man- Tut lire usefulness and fidelity to
the groat interest? <vf the country, in any official
station to which he may b© chosen, is to he found
in hi- past history connected with tho public ser
vice. The pledge implied in my acceptance of
the nomination of (he National Union Conven
tion is, that should 1 ho elected, 1 will not depart
from tho spirit and tenor of my past course: and
the obligation to keep this pledge derives a double
force from the consideration that none i? required
from me.
You, sir, in your letter containing tho oflieud
annrmncoiuent of my nomination, havebuc.upleo*
ed to ascribe to me tho merit of moderation and
justice in my past public enroer. You havolike
) wise given me credit for a uniform support of all
wise :.nd benelicient measure? of legislation, for a
firm restate uco of all measure* calculated to en
gender sectional discord, and for a life-long de
votion t.> the union, harmony an*! prosperity of
these States.’ Whether your personal partiality
ha? led y<u to overstate my merit? a? a public
limn r not. V*t your tmiiucmibn of them, you
have preseittod a summary ? basis of all sound
American statosinaiHdiip. It may he objected
that nothing is said iu this summary, iu express
term?, of the obligations imposed by the Constitu
tion, hut the duty to respect and observe them ia
dearly implied, for without tbe duo observance,
in the conduct ofthc Government, of the Consti
tution, its restriction?and requirements, fairly in
terpreted in accordance with the spirit and objects,
there can be no end to sectional discord—no se
curity for the haimony ol the Uu ion
I have not. the vanity to assume that iu my
post connection with the public service, I have
exemplified tho course of a sound American
statesman, but if I bavo desprvod the favorable
view taken of it, in your letter, l may hope by a
faithful adherence to tlie maxims by which 1 have
heretofore liuou guided, not altogether to disap
point tho confidence and expectations of those
vi bo placed me in my relation to l.ho public . and
if, under Providence, l should be called to preside
over the affair? of tills great, country as tDo Ex
ecutive chief of the Government, tbe only further
pledge I feel culled upon to make, is, that, to the
utmost of my ability, and with whatever htrongth
of will 1 can command, all the powers and in
fluence belonging to my uflicial station shall he
employed and directed for the promotion of all tho
great i.lijcit? for which the government wa? in
stituted ; but more c.-peHlly. for the maintain
unco of tin't VmstitntloM mid the Union, against all
oppo ing influences and tendencies.
1 cannot coin'lniL this letter without expres
sing mv high gratification at the nomination to
the second office under the Government of that
eminently gifted and distinguished statesman of
M,.s:a?ohu etiM, Edward IN.•reft, a gentleman
held by goueral consent to hr altogether worthy

Wo hollovo and hold, and will sustain and en

Houtiments and doctrine of the National Democ

do we hold t
1. That a government organized by act of Con
gress for a Territory, is provisional and tempo
rary, and that all citizens of the United HUte*
have an e<|Uiil right to settle in the Torritorie*
thereof, with their property of every description,
and that neither Congress nor the Territorial
Legislature can impair or destroy such right; and,
also, that it is the duty of the Federal Govern
ment, in all it* departments, to protect the rights
of persona and property In tb Territories and
wherever else the Constitutional authority ex
tends.
2. And wdo further hold, that the people of
Ohio, united as they are under one common Con -
stifutioo, and enjoying the blessings of the unity
us one comujou government with tbo poople of
the other Btatea in tho Union, upon every prin
ciple of comity and good fellowship should cense
their aggressions upon the people aud in*titu

and unconstitutional laws against the people of
tbe South, appearing upon the .Statute Books of

our Southern fellow citizen* that we are their
friends, not their enemies.
ROHM KIN, THIUHDAV. .11 >F 11, 11100
The Times - Kntiulrrr's ( orretpoudfnt
The Enquirer'? correspondent, signed “J B. G.,”
and professing to ho from Stewart county, is wide
of tho mark iu attacking tho position of the Times.
The position of the Tiino* is that of nine tenths of
the democratic party. In doubting tho policy of
insisting upon “protection” alone, ns un ultima
tum of our ullianee with the Northern Democra
cy, tho question is not yielded. Wo distinctly
stated that wo would “never yiold tho constitu
tional right to protection” and tho “Government
would boa failure” if it did not grunt it tnhti i
a ternary. A repudiation of squatter sovereign
ty ; a denial of tho power of a Territorial legis
lature to destroy or impair slave property either
by action or non-action ; a perfect equality of
slave property with all other kinds of property in
tho Territories, was a peace-offering, which the
whole South would have accepted at Charleston.
It was considered as a defeat of Mr. Douglas, u
repudiation of hit chosen doctrine, and a com
plete triumph for tho South. Besides, there was
the probability of a sound, true, States Rights
mau being uomiliated at Charleston, who endors
ed tho decisions of tho Supremo Court, which
gave us protection; then we ask, under such cir
cumstanoos, likely again to occur at Baltimore,
would it be advisable to run a third candidate
upon ‘protection,’ iu opposition to a sound South
ern man upon a platform that repudiated squatter
sovereignty. That, too, when the protection doc
trine found a thorough advocate iu our candi
date i 1 This is tho idea of someone who pro
fesses to know tho views of the democracy of
Stewart. Such a step would he fatal to the
States Rights party of tho Smith, and would
weaken it? strength. To illustrate our position,
suppose Mr. Hunter, Mr. Davre or General
Lane, real stickler? lor protection, was nomi
nated at Baltimore, upon a platform that del
not embody iu it so many words, or upon one
which repudiated squatter sovereignty and pro
term it ted uu expression of opinion upon protec
thm, would it be policy in the Southern Right?
Democracy to assemble nr Richmond aud uoiui
note a candidate in opposition to either of these
gentlemen!’ If it would he, then the democracy
ought to he split into atom?, it this one idea U
not engn.Hsed Into Ihe platform : if not, then the
South could vote lor a sound man, a true, Con
atittitional, Stale? Right? wan,albeit the platform
said nothing about protection, or simply gave ns
a repudiation o! squatter sovereignty. Now, we
assert that the Democracy oftho South would sup
port a true man upon the platform indicatedobove
and by so doing, would not he amenable to the
charge of disloyalty to their section or recreancy
to tho faith they profess. M e occupy the true
position, and one that the warmest seeeder would
not dissent from, if he loved tho South aud waul
ed tho .'o-oporution o’ ils friend? to rally around
her standard.
The t'HMft Approaching, -The Pnrepcci
Tim eyes oftho nation are turned anxiously to
the Democratic Conventions now in session and
soon to assemble. An epoch iu the history *>f the
country is about to transpire, aud a solemn calm
settles upon thepeople whose destinies, perchance,
arc suspended in Hi. i..Gt|6ciMfc I h< ‘<d’ < ” son *
of the South have met in Richmond. They re
paired thither under commission from the peo
plo to tiuiltj their counsel? in considering the
course proper to ho taken in the approaching and
fiuul struggle. Upborn* by the arms of a con
fiding and utmost unanimous constituency, never
did a body of mun stand in prouder attitude.—
Going to Charleston, most of them uninstructcd,
they deemed that the honor of the South delimit
•led that ?he should separate from her old politi
cal associates, by whoso side, for long years, she
had.'-food through the ultermitions of victory ntid
defeat. Confident, in the integrity of their pur
pose nnd the virtue of their cause, they returned
to those they served and asked a judgment of
their conduct. “Well done” was the mood spon
taneously, passionately awarded, and. re-eom
missionod by the ?uiuo high authority, they arc
instructed to repair to Baltimore and demand a
recognition oi tho same snored right ofoquulity
which was ignored at Charleston. There is to be
uo nomination at Riubuioml till another honest
effort at co operation is made. Tbe Southern
delegates are to go thence to Baltimore and ask
from tbe assembled democracy oftho Union, an
acknowledgement of the principle that tbe South
in entitled to protection for her property in the
Territories pure! ~-“d by common toil ami blood.
There is a hope that ‘his request may he grunt
ed. There i a Imp** that tho Northern Demo
crucy, seeing the uuuniinity ami unflinching firm
ness on thi? question in so many of the Demo
oratio .States, may concede the domuuded right.
But iftbis hope should he disappointed; if the
Douglan faction should still refuse to surrender
their cherished doctrine of squatter or Territorial
sovereignty, there is no alternative left the South
erndelegate? hut to return to Richmond, select n
standard bearer and unfurl the banner of “pro
tection urn! equal right?.” Under such circum
stance* their ticket wouhl swoop the South like a
tornado; the Dorgla? candidate would fail to
carry a single Slate, North or South : California
arnl Oregon would go with u* in the House of
Representatives, and the day Would be our?. \l
least this is our opinion.
Speech ol lion, itohi. Toomfix
H o have read with uncommon satisfaction the
Bpeech of Our distinguished Senator on there*
olutiou* of Mr. Davis which were recently di*
cu**<-d in and passed by tb Senate of the Uni
ted Btaics. It is indeed an unanswerable argu
incut in favor of the doctrine on which the Sou
them State* to-day stand united. Ho shows by
tbo moot conclusive reasoning, tlio utter empti
ness of tbo theory of Territorial sovereignty, and
proves from the record* of Congressional logisla
tion, that Congress has exerted, from the founds
tiou of the gov ornn.ont, both the power to con
trol Territorial Legislature* and to protect tho
right* of citizen* within the Territorial limit*.--
In tbo legislation oflkaOand I Sol, he contend*
that all question* in tbo Territories in rospoet to
slavery, including the power of a Territorial Leg
islature to abolish or otherwise affect it, wore to
be decided by the Supreme Court whenever they
arise; and, further, that the oase having arisen,
and the decision pronounced in favor of the
South, the whole power of the government, if
Decenary, must bo exerted to enforce that de
cision whenever occasion demands it. It is a
noble, manly speech, and we would that it wore
in tho hands of every Southern man. Whoever
reads it, will rise from its perusal with the pon
vlotion that aquatterlsm and antl proteotlonism
have about as much vitality as a wad of *ohawed’
cotton eeed.
Murder in Oglethorpe Awful Penally.
We regret to learn, (says tho Augusta Consti
tutionalist) that Mr. Win. Smith of Bowling
Green, in Oglethorpe county, was murdered on
Saturday afteruoon, by one of his negro men
named Jim. It appears that Mr. Smith was bu
sily engaged in thrashing out wheat, when Jiin,
who wo* a carpenter, came home. Mr. 8. di
rected Jim to help him thresh the wheat, but
Jim refused. His owner thou attempted to com
pel him, when Jim pulled out a long knife, and
inflicted sixteen serious and mortal stabs on the
body of hi* master who died Instantly. This oc
cured in the presence of Mr. Smith’* wife. The
hoy then made his ereape, hut was apprehended
that night, and securely confined until Monday
morning, when, niter au examination of the facts,
the incetiftod people oftho surrounding country
took Jim and tied him to a stake and burned him
to death. Tlii? oeeuvrul about four mile? from
Antioch, aud nine o'clock in the morning.
During the first settlement of the town of Draw
fordvUlo, Georgia the native place of Alexander
11. Stephen?, a louding member oftho present
Onttgre?s,thH Com mis? ion or? passed an ordinance
prohibiting any jayylvr from operating within tho
corporate limits without the payment of a certain
license. Before many Mays tho Marshal presented
to the honorable Board of Commissioners n iutj~
lflrr who had refused to pay his license. When
asked bow he him to be a juggler, ho replied.
“ Why, hr'* <jot a vurt lead of jug* ri ‘yht ifotvn

A Northern paper is accountable fur the above.
Os course, there is not a word of truth in it, it’s
u vile slander. Doc? any one suppose that any
inhabitant of that “native place” don’t know
what a juggler is ? Preposterous!
Tit* Bai.timoiik Convention*—The number of

and North Carolina delegates quarter nt Bur

Tho entire New York delegation will put up nt

the admirable management of Col. Slone, a large

accompanied by two full military bands. It. is

experience a pleasant season. Notwithstanding
tho great rush‘which i? anticipated on tho occn

The Methodist Otitrrh North and Slavery.
Tbeflenoral Conference oftho Method is Church
North, after the loss of Ihe proposed ehaoge in
the book of dinc'inline, adopted a now chapter on
the suhjoot of bn cry. which Li certainly a mark
e<t concession to its churches of which duvchold

The following D the form of the chapter, u il
stood before tho late action of the General Oort

(Jurat. W hat -hall be done for the©x.tirpntiou
of the evil of slavery ?

All our preneber? shall pruriently enforce
upon our members tho necessity of teaching tbeir
slaves to read tho word of God: and t<> allow
thorn Uiuo to attend upon tho public worship of

Tho chapter substituted for this utterance is iu
tho following words:

Aui&'-’Wa declare that wo are a? niunh a? ever

beings, as chattels, is inconsistent with the Gold

which requires all who desire t<< continue among
us, “todono harm, and to avoid evil every kind.”
We therefore, aJfbctlonatuly admonish nil our
preachers and people to keep themselves pure
from this great evil, ami to seek Itscxtirpation hy
lawful und Christian means.
This removes tho illiberal exclusion >f slave
holders from offices in church, and of traveling
evangelists from priestly prerogatives, unloss they
first emancipate their servants. The adoption of
the new chapter is plainly a retrocession from the
high anti-slavery ground the Methodist Church
North ha? heretofore occupied, ami seems to indi
cate tho possibility of the prevalence ai a tuoro

professedly States Right* men say they will auj.
port thin or that ticket f.r the Die idericy, in or
tier to defeat the Blade Republican* and to save
the Union. They do not prof©?*, however, ta do
this in order to secure the rightvof tbe South, for
they know that to ho out of the question in tho
policy they propose. It i? the Union they wish
to save.
Now, in all candor we auk. if the security of
the Union be the paramount object—if they urn
only solicitous for its safety- why not support
Lincoln uud Hamlin at once ? They openly an
nounre tbeir determination to preserve the Union
and to destroy the institution of slavery—while
other candidates would make tho South, by in
si (Hot is means,a party to /he destruction of slavery
and the preservation of the Union. If then the
South is to he a party to the destruction of hoi
own Institutions, why -honM flic people of the
South he particular inohnAfdfijr the m frurtifti.te
for that destruction.
We cannot help ihioklug thui self-respect
should keep Sou thorn muu away from the polls in
November next, if candidates cannot be found
who will say without equivocation, that they wilt
yield us every right contended for. without com
promise or evasion. If we cost our votes with
out such pledge, wo cimoot hope to obtain jus
