Odd Fellows of that City and of the State, has
been indefinitely postponed, for the alledged
reason that no Orator could be secured to de
liver an Address on that occasion ! This we
much regret, as seme 50 or 60 of the-ILtcon
brethren had concluded to go down to the sea
board to participate in tiic proposed Anuiver
sary Celebration. Will it not be well for the
Lodges here, to get up a home festival, rather
than suffer disappointment ? There is time—
plenty—yet, an I we move that immediate ac
tion be taken to transfer the Celebration from
Savannah to J/a.-on, and to invite the brethren
of Savannah and elsewhere to attend.— Citi

Tb washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so

Borax being a neutral salt does not in the slightest

REPUBLICAN’S LOGIC.
Slavery axd’the Slave Trade—False Logic
Exposed. —The Columbus Corner Stone gives an il
lustration of the fallacious argument that because a
man condemns the slave trade, he must as a necessa
ry consequence condemn the institution of slavery as i
it already exists among us. It says:
“Wc have been greatly surprised by the enuncia
tion hy our esteemed friends of the Times, that they
could not hold a slave without justifying the slave
trade. Wc imagine a little reflection will satisfy
them of the error of that conclusion. Observation
might have taught them that there is perhaps not
enough of perfection connected with human affairs to
secure to us a title to any thing by virtue of our un
stained purity of life, and a perfect obedience to the
laws of God even on our own part, to say nothing of
making us responsible for the sins of others. Even
the great problem of human salvation must be sol
ved. and the boon seemed, if secured at all, without
them, and our title to tiio possibility of salvation
comes to us stained w ith the treachery of Judas, the
cowardice and falsehood of Peter, the desertion of
the balance of the disciples, and the hatred aud ma
lice of the murderers of the Saviour. Will our friends
of the Times therefore reject the title and cast it from
them because they cannot justify sonic of the means
by which it was secured'! Or. will they, because they
cannot reject it, feel themselves driven, for tho sake
of consistency, to claim for tho treachery of Judas’ the
title to the most heroic aud self-sacrificing virtue ;
rauk Peter’s cowardice and lies far above the truth
and the courage be afterwards evinced, and caunon
.ze as benefactors of mankind the High Priests who
accused, and the multitude who clamored—“ Crucify
him ! crucify him!” With as much reason may they
do this as put the right to hold the slaves that have
been born anil raised her - upon the purity of those ■
who brought their ancestors to this country.
Mr. Editor: The above is cut from the
Savannah Republican. I wish every man in
Georgia to read it carefully, that he may un
derstand and know the extremity to which ev
ery one is driven who undertakes to make a
■ moral difference between the external and in
ternal trade of Slavery, or between Slavery
and the external trade of Slavery. I have
never in all my life seen gentlemen so hard
pressed as the defenders of the laws making
it murder and robbery to buy a negro in Af
rica, are for an argument to prove or show that (
slavery is right aud the trade of slavery wrong, J
I flow can that be ? Can it Im possible for any i
kind of property not to partake of the natur.
of the trade ? The Corner Stone and Repub
lican think and say that some of the >mvn.f by
which tho great boon of salvation was secured
were infamous. Poes any man believe the
great problem of human salvation required
iii/uwous means to insure its consummation? —
They say the treachery of Judas, the coward
; icc and falsehood oi Peter, the desertion of the
! balance of the disciples, was to the problem ol
i humnn salvation what the African slave
i trade was to slavery. That is: infamous
j causes produced most righteous and glorious '
i effects. Docs any man believe God Almighty ’
. ' used infamou.: means either in the birth, suf- :
■ fcring, crucifixion, death, or resurrection oi !
■ | Jesus Christ; /or that is the truth of the propo :
I sition of the Corner Stone and Republican— j
that means infamous were used in the birth, ,
i suffering, crucifixion, death or resurrection of
Christ; for Christ was the onli/means a-ied \
and the only oferimj made aud accepted as an
' atonement for man’s disobedience and sin, and
s nut the treachery of Judas, the cowardice and
falsehood of Peter, nor the other outward and '
- attendant circumstances of the great problem
of human salvation. Do you think it logic to
say a human means was necessary to produce
' a Divine effect ? Is it not remarkable that
you find two as respectable papers as the above
1 in tho nineteenth century asserting that God
’ used in famous means in tho problem oi human
1 salvation and that these infamous means were
ueeessarv. or in other words the salvation cl
1 .mm could not have been wrought and secured
1 .vithout some infamous means. I know Calvin
once suggested the pro Jane idea, i hese gen-
1 tiemen are hard run. They have labored—
no trainr or sntrery ntm sifivrry. mey can
never separate the i lea and fact that property
aud its trade are of the same nature. They
say it was wrong to bring the African here :
, .grant it: They are not c impelled to defend
and perpetuate that wrong, for they say they
’ shoulib not be held responsible for the sins of
' others, meaning thereby that our ancestors
sinned by bringing and buying the Africans
here.
lam through. I only wished to show what
i- the Republican and its allies call logic. They
e chink it rrry logical and very conclusive to
s say that in the great problem of human salva-
1 tion in famous human pe.feeted a Divine
i- effect.'

The New York Sun and Cuba.
Tho following is the announcement made by tho
2 New York Sun of Wednesday morning and circulat
r ed by telegraph :
The Flag of Fuse Cuba. —We display once more
in our columns the emblem of Cuban liberty—the
emblem under which her patriot sons are, perhaps,
at this moment startling the ears of her oppressors
with the cry which rung through the ihirte.n colonies,
iu the glorious days of our Kevolutiou.—” Give un
Liberty or yice ttn death !'*
We seek to raise uo idle excitement. We have rea
son for the belief (hat if the flame of revolt has not
o
already been kindled iu the Island of Cuba it will be
o
before tho end of this week. The Cubans have, by ma
ny bitter disappointments, realized the truth of the
poet’s lines, that
j Who would be free
Themselves must strike the blow.
Therefore, ever siuce tho abandonment by
e Quitman and others, their betrayal by professed
_ a lends iu the United btates, and the squandering ol
t the resources of revolution which they Lad collected,
i, they have devoted themselves to a new p.unin which
k the initiative and the first effort for freedom should be
r Exclusively ('vbaii. Upon this basis they have or
i ganized patriot clubs throughout the Island, and
L the members count by thousands. Their co-patriuts
iu the United .States have aided all their plans, aud
i will share with them in the dangers and the glory oi
s the struggle for Cuban rights.
i All the stories set afloat about the organization of
I American expeditions, are wide of the truth. This
last is a pure Cuban movement. The first of this
< month was the time fixed by the Clubs throughout
the Island for a general rising: and. unless their
plot has been discovered, or Some untoward event
aas happened, they are now in arms against their op
t pressurs.
The New York Convention of Cuban patriots—
small but determined band—sailed on their danger- '
uu« mission in the latter part of March. If the pa
triots in the Island had not already risen on the day
axed, the landing of the New York Convention would
be the signal for revolt. Arms aud ammunition have
oeeu provided, and all are bound by a solemn obliga
tion to stand by the cause until victory crowns their
effort or the last man has fallen. Mo>tof the Cubans
who have gone from New N ork ar - young men. ma
ny of them sons of the leading turn t f the Islands.
■ and all fired with the determiiiatiun to free their iia-
I live soil, or die in the attempt. They go forth tak
ing their lives iu their hand.
j Tim Cubans will now prove the sincerity of the '
loud-spok?u Am *riean sympathisers. They strike
for their own libertie*. Will our government woe to ;

The Spirit of Liberty.
lidwhat does the spirit of liberty consist? Does
it consist merely in a know ledge of our rights?
s This will no more make a man free than the
1 knowledge of the truth of God will deliver the
i lost angels from perdition. They can believe
’ - aud tremble—and so can men—before the pow
ier of the oppressor. Does it consist in having
f | taitli in the great political truths which con
[. | stitute the basis of liberty ? In matters of gov
r eminent faith is not salvation. AVe may dis
-, i course most eloquently of Luman rights—we
may have the most abiding conviction of theii
i final triumph in the affairs of government —aud
k I yet have not a particle of the spirit of liberty
within us. Does it consist in laying bare tin
- infringement of our rights—in stern remon
strances or sterner denunciations of oppress
ion ? These may be the natural ebullitions o
il the spirit of liberty ; but they are not iucon
d ! sisteiit w ith a most submissive acquiescence t<
h ■ any tyranny. They may arise from a men
j consciousness ot w rong and oppression, whicl
; every | oliticul slave, in every despotism, may
?, experience. The spirit of liberty arises frou
d the will, not the intellect, it is supported no
i, ' by reason only, but by the passions. It is no
: passive in its nature, but active. Its great ele
meat anil spring is resistance. Its strength ii
>f gathered from a high conception and rcverenci
.1 of justice, and as high a detestation of oppress
ion. It cannot weigh oppression in the scab
,ol aggravation. It is the thing itself, the leas

blow in the face—may be a very small physic

i but the true spirit of liberty sees nothing in i
but the wrong, and resists it. It cannot com

s a party to its evils. It cannot submit to it
because this requires a surrender of its intejj

Cor reap indence of tbe New Orleans True Delta
Mexico and its Afliairs.
Vera Crvz, April 6, 1859.
This day has been a joyful one to the Juar
ez and hi.-, party. Mr. McLane has recogniz
ed Juarez as the President of Mexico, and pres
i ented his credentials accordingly, all in due
form I suppose. Strange and inscrutable are
, : indeed the ways of Providence. After the
i lapse of hundreds of years a pure Indian again
: rules Mexico. The blood of Benito Juarez has
run in a pure and unmixS'. stream from his
ancestors who wore the masters of Mexico long
before the Aztec race. Not a drop of negro
or Spanish blood courses through his veins.—
The negro has again found his level, and will
again serve a superior race. The proud and
haughty Castilian is no longer master. They
must henceforth content themselvc to live at
I least upon equal terms with those they have
heretofore plundered, slaughtered and op
pressed. M ill they do it ? Could yon have
seen his flashing eye, the pale check and blood
less lips this day, during the ceremony, you
would have arrived at the conclusion that ho
did not intend to do it without a struggle : and
resist he will, for this is but the begining of
. the end. Blood ami ashes will be the flowers
to deck the plains of Mexico : the battle shout,
the fierce cry of strife, its music ; the tramp
of armed mon rushing to the fray, instead of
the din of trade and confusion of peaceful
industry, will bo the sights and sounds that will
he common in Mexico for many years to come.
’ And this day’s work,undoubtedly a proper and
1 necessary step forthegorernmentofthe United
I States to take, will but hasten the future and
I certain destiny’ of Mexico. The struggle
henceforth is not one of principle but a war
of castes. The old oppressors of Mexico are in
the Minority: the Indian rules his former mas
s ter, both fight for existence and life; the In
dian has the support and sympathy of the
e Americans; the Castilian is aided by the
e French, whilst John Bull says he don't care a
e d—n who whips or wins. '
It is a singular and instructive fact, that th<
French residents of Mexico do not sympathize
“ oi agree with the action of their Minister, and
it is yet uncertain whether the French govern
ment will sustain him in his course ; certain it
is that the Admiral does not. Whatever the
c
fate of parties or factions in Mexico may be
j there cannot be a doubt as to the propriety ol
the course of Mr. McLane—that he had no at
' tentative but to recognize Juarez, and be has
in so doing, the approbation and endorsemeni
of all Americans who aie familliar with Mcxi
’ can affairs. Whether the Juarez Govcrnmem
will fulfill and keep their pledges is yet to b<
1 tested : certainly the inducements for them t<
do so are groat, for, unless the restrictions up
I | on trade and commerce are removed, ncithei
Juarez or any other set of mon can. for ant
' length of time, sustain themselves. That Jua
I ; rez and his people aye disposed to do it, is no
,l i to bo doubted, but whether they will be abl<
j to earrv out their good intentions is somewha
e ' doubtful. Their professions and principle.
Is 1 are of the most liberal and enlightened char
' e ■ acter, all they have to do to carry them out i:
S " j t > act promptly and decisively.
e No tameor faltering course will answer.—
They are now in possession of nearly the wholi
re : of Mexico and nothing but want of energy wil
II j prevent their having the whole within thirt;
c ' I days. The strength of the Church party i
' gone—it has fallen from its own weakness.—
•' i Miramon’s force before Vera Cruz gave a deatl
1 • ■ blow to their last hopes. lie is now complete
'* ]y at the mercy of the Liberal party, and :
l! ' little energy i.n their part will wipe him out
| Aided now as they are by the United State
| Government, and the sincere good will of th'
8*: Americans, nothing but their weakness of ac
’ tion or treachery can prevent the triumph o
”■ ; order and the restoration of prosperity to Mex
x " i ieo. Still, much depends upon ourselves. W
! |iaxe..r4h i itd.U;.e L’.';eral_p\arty from ainij-t
*•' ! want of aid. That Mr. McLane is equal to hi
111 difficult and delicate mission I believe, and i
es affords me no common satisfaction to recon
(il the fact that all in Vera Cruz are pleased am
satisfied with him. The Mexicans are delight
I ed. the French ami English satisfied and tin
i Americans, for a wonder, do not grumble—it
‘ r ‘l short, all eves are turned hopefully toward;
him, and. if I am not greatly disappointed it
j., the man. he will not disappoint them. Vert
I Cruz is impregnable ; no force that nny factioi
r e in Mexico can bring against it can take it.

Tbc arrival of tbc steamship Ada at Rio de Ja

its Montcvido correspondence to the 16th previous.
The Apu, it will be remembered, proceeding tc
Pernambuco, furnished to a vessel bound to th<
United States tidings already received of the pacific
termination of Mr. Bowlin’s mission.
’ The correspondents of the Rio Journal writer. Feb
16th.
“ As I predicted, the Paraguay question has at
. tained a peaceful solution. Neither your (Juf em
. incut nor mine, or any others who hastened to the
J scene of negotiations as mediators, cun claim the
id ■ credit of this result; for ail the glory of the task falls
i- io General Urquiza, if we may trust his published
manifesto, and the correspondence which has passed
j between him and Mr. Bowlin, the American Commis
sioner.
As I told you in my last, Vrquiza set out with Lis
wife for Asunction. On the lutli of January he
reached Humatta, and on the 16th was at Asunction.
\ Notwithstanding the mourning of President Lopez
■ for the death of bis relative, the Bishop of the Dio-
I ‘ esc, Vrquiza was received with great honor and dc
-- I monstrations of friendship. His interviews with Pres-
I ident Lopez were repeated, visiting the residence ol
i s | the latter again and again. Some days after the I’ul-
I ton arrived, Laving on board the American Commis
’ sioncr, Mr. Bowlin, and his Secretary, Mr. Samuel
Ward. Immediately upon hisarrivival the Cumin is-
I i sioner called upon General Vrquiza. On the ensuing
e 1 day he presented himself officially to Lopez, and they
i- ; exchanged addresses filled with expressions of sym
- i patby ami good will. They were nevertheless, re
(] served on the immediate question.
Vrquiza wrote a note to Bowlin, to which the latter
; I responded. Conferences were arranged between the
three, namely, Vrquiza, Bowlin, ami Lopez, the last
j of which was held on the first day of February, tor
i’ minuting ar 11 A. M. They resulted in the settle
lß | ment of the bases for a pacific adjustment of the
<1 ’ pending issues.
Throughout, neither our plenipotentiary, nor that
II of Brazil, nor indeed any other, uttered a word.
• . I rquiza, at four o’clock on the afternoon of the
same day, embarked on the Paraguayan steamer Ta
p inari. and arrived at Corrintcs on the afternoon of
the 2d. There he joined in the feast or anniversary
of Caseros, observed with great pomp.
' Reaching Parana, he gave to tbc national govern
-1 ment an account of his entire mission, and published
r the diplomatic correspondence, concluding with a
r claim to all tho glory of tbc affair.
i Vi hat these bases of arrangement may be, we are
3 not informed. The Ydirango, now due and expected
every moment, will bring the letters fr< m Parana.—
They will throw light on the negotiation, and nlso(
upon the views of I rquiza, touching Buenos Ayres
■ and Brazil.
» Au intimate friend of General Vrquiza writes from
i Rosario that Lopes was so grateful fur the solution o
the Aiuuiean difficulty, that he Lad o fie re I the Ar
gentine President nil his resoun < s in ai<l of a turn
p paign against Bueno* Ayres.
The Brazilian Envoy, H**uor Jaeqntw Thomas de

Correspondence of the Journal of Co i t
p The Fashions.
f I’.ihis, March 1859
il Politics are not within my province, but the
* ■ question and the probability of peace or war
; are as warmly discussed in the ateliers of the
■I , artificers of fashion ns in the cabinets of Min
d ' isters, or in the salons of Diplonitists. Milliners
d I and mantuniakers ns eagerly scekforthe inlel
e ligene. brought by the telegraph, of the result
r of negotiations, as do the speculating frequen
n ters of the Bourse. All classes throughout
s- France trembled at the I’rosjeet of an Euro
i- peau war, which will deprive the capital of
e thousands of visiters, who expend vast sums of
e money on amusements and toilette, —filling ho
a I te<s, cases, theatres and shops; the manuiactur
■ ing cities foresee the closing of ninny markets
o ; now stored with the produce of their looms ; the
;e I middling classes and the poor dread war prices
d j and dear bread. In spite of disheartening
i- rumors ami the fluctuations of the Bourse, the
it persuasion of peace with the wvrkinf) ixjpula
e tions becomes every day stronger and more
e, general. It is stated that fount Walewski
I and Lord Cowley both speak encouragingly ol
t- a layorablc and peaceable termination of the
s, political difficulties between France and Aus
't cria. The hopes of an European Congress is
i- held out by those who arc admitted to the iuti
it macy of high personages : with this prospect is
>e connected that of prodigious business when
to I the negotiators arrive, each of whom will have
|>- a large retinue, and for the honor of their sov
'r ; eigns all will vie in their establishments and
y ‘ entertainments. The throng of opulent stran
a- gers cannot fail to be considerable.
! The exhibition of works of modern artists
opens another bright prospect; then will the
II artists of every description thrive again as they
did during the Universal Exhibition. The an-
5’ nexation and incorporation of the banlicue of
18 Paris, that part winch now extends from the
barrieres to the fortifications, is another ques
~ tion oi vital moment with the Parisian popula
'c tion. A powerful portion of private interests
" is opposed to the law now before the Legisla
l;v tive Assembly, and move heaven and earth tc
18 bring to bear their opposition upon the delilier-
- atioiis of the Legislators, when the proposition
will be under discussion. The popular masses,
on the contrary, clap their hands at the pros-
a pact and exclaim: “ T/ic Emperor wille it, there
jure it inmtbe.” The following magical phrase
lias passed, like lightning, from atelier toateher.
irom barriorc to l.arriere. and hits made the
v ' tortune of the project, and gained the adhesion
; of ail the laboring population:
I I'l lC gates of Paris at the fortifications is
11 bread and work for fifteen years in the depart
-- .I- - OI—— o 11 :.IU» *l,« lot". 1’...,-
there is a rumor afloat that the annexation ol
is . .
the barrieres is to be deferred for five years.—
, The weather is so spring-like, that we are
-<1 1
. tempted to discard winter toilettes. Gur ccle
t brated modiste, Madame Fauvct, -1 Hue Menars,
has, within the last week, perfected a variety
■ of spring costumes, all displaying her usual
good taste and adaptation to appearance and
position. The light silk walking robes are
generally made without trimming on the skirt,
liie corsage is high and buttoned in front,
with a round waist, having a waistband and
’ buckle; the sleeves are closed, they arc cut
1 straight, and short on the inside, but very long
and full at the elbow : a jockey, trimmed with
h a puffing of the silk, forms a rounded point on
the top of tho sleeve ; a turned up cuff to match
io ; the j. . key terminates the sleeve, thq wristband
ie of which is loose, leaving room fora large mus
■' lin puff trimmed with lace. The moire anti
que dresses are likewise made without bas
ques ; the waist is round. The skirt is very
t ample, and is laid in five wide plaits, with false
plaits between them ; the corsage is sometimes
ie decorated with brandebourgs, but is more gen
ie eraliy worn plain. Plain dark satin dresses
b are in favor with our aristocratic dames ; the
l! body is often trimmed with black lace. When
covered with a black velvet mantle, or irvelvet
of tho same color as the satin, this costume is
j, well adapted for visiting or for morning con
,t. certs. The beautiful nu.l durable Cambrai
i. laces manufactured by d’erjuson <f-Ce., -Vo. 49
•z Jlm des Jeuenurs, are decidedly the trimmings
the most in favor for the decorations of robes,
mantles and all other articles of ladies’dress.
The house o." Ferguson obtained at both the
. English and Paris universal exhibition the
medal of the first class awarded for the beauty
q and the durable texture of tho Cambrai laee,
- wh’ch is woven of the finest Grenadine silk,
g dyed before it is worked. The dentelle Lama
is also the invention of this ingenious manufac
’ tutor, and it is becoming very fashionable.—
The Lama luce is a woolen fabric, very light,
r soft, and presenting beautiful patterns. The
e single points of Lama luce form a very hnnd
’t some and suitable summer mantle. The black
- cashmere shawls, which are now very much in
- vogue, are always trimmed with flounces of
e Lama lace. Wc particularly recommend to
the wholesale and retail increhants of New
York, when making their spring acquisitions,
to offer to our country-women a choice of these
two laces, the erai d<telle de Cambrai and Ist
f ma; only fabricated by the’house of Ferguson,
f Within the last week we see a brilliant dis
play of tra-.v and other spring bonnets. Those
fashioned by our distinguished milliner, Ma
‘ dame Alpkoninr, So. 12 L'ue du th Ider, are re
markable for tho simplicity and coquettish
novelty of the shapes and trimmings. One is
1 of white crape, with a flat top to the crown and
a curtain coiered with tulle : the trimming is a
♦deep blonde covering the whole front; on the
■ top, a blue bow w ith flat loops, in the centre
. of which is a round sUtel buckle, from which
> proceeds a blue ribbon, turning over the front
j inside, and there fastened with a blue l<ow on
i the right ifido of the baiidi-u. A Tuscan straw
| is trimmed outside with a large tea-rose ami a '
• rililsm stripped with block and edged with yel- |
low. The curtain i;« plaio-d lengthwiae with

i The Columbus Time* of yesterday, says :
j That the Small-pox exists on ihe Chattahoochee

city is now removed beyond the possibility of a di.ult
Information is received from old Columbia—where
s t i- •
the diseases has made its appearance—by means of
the telegraph, which confirms the rumors heretofore
8 j prevalent. Twenty cases are reported at Columbia,
II n small town in Henry County, Alabama, on the
e | west hank of the Chattahoochee and just below Blak
•- ely, Early County Georgia. Seldom in the history
J ■ of this disease do we find’so many cases confined to
j. so smail a number of inhabitauL. In fact the dis
ease is reported to be spreading through the plan
tations in Clay and Early Counties in this State.—
8 : The hope is entertained, however, that the cass will
e ! not prove fatal, hut arc of a mild type, which will
y leave no marks of the ravages of the disease Dr. John
i- ! J. Columbus, than whom few physicians
( f are more skilled in the treatment of small-pox, has
c , left with the proper nurses fur the spot. The result
of his visit will doubtless be made public on his re*

s Judge John A. Campbell on the
SLAVE TRADE AND FILLIBI STE -ISM.
lion. John A. Campbell, Judge of the I'ni
’ ted States Circuit Cour’, says the N. O. Jlull
r' efin, delivered a charge to the Grand Jury at
the opening of the Court, for the Southern Dis
-11 trict of Alabama at Mo ile, on Tuesday last,
■ the 12th inst., which is one of the ablest and
s j most decided that wo have ever read. It is de
voted exclusively to the Slave Trade and Filli
.v tws- uo iifirrT’ 1 y nri’l
emphatically than before, all the general posi
tions which the same fearless, honest and inde
c pendent Jurist assumed in reference to these
j subjects in his charge to the Grand Jurv at
the s me pin ?? some months ago. His Char. e
•’ occupi s three columns in the Mobile Advertis
er, and was delivered, as the papers there in
form ns, with an earnestness that elicited pro
found attention. The Judge is thoroughly in
earnest, and intends that so far as it depends
’ on him the laws shall be fully executed in let
ter and spirit. That this course of Judge
Campbell will raise him in the estimation of
’ groat mass of respectable and intelligent
1 citizens of the country, South and North, East
1 anl West, irrespective of party, cannot be for
‘ a moment doubted. lie has shown himself
the incorruptible and the fearless Judge, who
, plainly lays down the laws and cal's upon his
‘ sworn eo-associates to perform their whole du
ty in executing them to their fullest extent.—
He examines the Slave Trade, and he finds it
. in fact as well as in the opinions of the great
men of the country, past and present, North
and South, as well in the words they have ut
tered in regard to it as the laws they have
helped to frame to crush it, to partake of the
• nature of piracy, and he so regards it. He
quotes the language of many distinguished
3 . Southern men, refers to the treaties of all civ
j iliz.d nations for the purpose of suppressing it.
1 ' and to the rigor of the laws of United States
1 to the same end, and declares that “the public
’ conscience has sanctioned the rigorof th.e laws.”
