swindle.’’ The South has never been disturb-
O
ed except upon the subject oT slavery, and will
any intelligent nmu say she has not been en
tirely successful in jts twenty year’s discussion?
At the commencement of the .argument her
*own wisest statesmen, her own legislators aiftl
people admitted it to be a moral , social and
political evil, to be tolerated only because it
could not then be abolished. I>ut what do we
O
see and hear of the institution of slavery to-day’
It is now regarded and cherished as oi\£ of the
permanent institutions of the South, sanction
ed by Holy. Writ, defended by the Constitution
and engrafted upon every rout of “the society f
8,000,000 of people. No longer regarded as
an “evil,” it is fixed upon a firm basis and ac
knowledged to \>e essential* to our increasing
prosperity and greatness, ifas the South not
gained then by the di*£u>sion ? Ando she has
dune this without dishonor. She Vent into the
° e o
discussion ;;v7,but she lias come out xiVom/.and
able now to meet her enemic-ft upon the thresho

honor has been vastly profitable, and preynises
to result in a most glorious triumph in the entl.
Those who couiteel the South toabaydon tlie*
issue and fig for safety, dishonor themselves
o
and the Soi?th. They have not kept time with
l.lier progress, they hffvc not calculated her re- ’
source* nor estimated the dignify of her riocial
and political position. *Bhe is able to demand
; and enforce her Constitutional rights, much
less repel invasion, and as the Constitution pro
tected Her in her infantile jveakness, it” is but
O
just that slukshould nowftdefeud the ConstitH

gressions upon it let them feci the weight of

‘Siie’is !yfanned by those whck have installed

therefore, that if sllc cannot go the Pin

idle —it is fool-hardy—to discuss°<jie question
of probable relative suffering and loss in dif

You°may observe, rif coui*se, how seriou y

priae of stacks. &c., have alifady 4een*shakea
at the North, and yet there is in tlie public
mind a very impcrVee? apprriliension of thy real

tion to repeal laws directed ffgainst the
tutiFual rights of the Southern Statcs-*-such as
personal liberty Iftlls, etc. —a:u?if we could gain
little ti mo* tii ere worj*l seem to be grouud of
hope that these just causes of distrust and dis
satisfaction may bo removed.
I trust the South will make a large ora fit on
their devotion to the Uni\yi,*an€ be guided by
the wise moderation which the exigency urgent
ly calls for. Can it be that this Jag with all
the stars in their places, is q longer to float at
home, abroad, and aUvays as an cmbhftn of our
united power, common freedom, and unuhal
lcnged security. Can itlae t!it it is to go
‘down in darkness ts not *8 blood, before we
