tnauds of those we represent, we have assembled
together to confer with each other concerning
your relation with the general Government, and
the non-slaveholding States of the Uuion. on the
subject of the institution of Slavery. VVe deem
. it proper to lay before yon ns briefly as the subject
will permit, the result of our deliberations aud
councils.
In order that your condition may be understood,
am! tbe conclusions at which we have arrived be
justly appreciated, it is necessary briefly to refer
to p few past transactions.
It-is now sixteen years ainco tlie iusti’iilion of
Slavery in tbe Smith began to be agitated iu Con

tt lani titles, obtaining patents, payment of Taxes, [ when but littlo power is reqnired. which shortens the
•. distance travelled by tlie horse, in proportion to the
increased velocity of tie follower nttln- start.
This Press can be made very compact, ami equally
powerful, by using the wheel aud axle, aud can he fo
modified as to anawerany purja.scs where a Press is
necessary for inauiiliicturing or domestic purimeef.
For cotton it requires une-lourth less work to build,
aud three fourths leas w ork to raise, than the screws,
and ifarast iron Eccentric wheel it used, it will be
muchoverhalfthe work to build ns a screw. For
Pressing Cotton. Tobacco, Hemp. Hay. Ace. it cannot
be excelled. There is oue-third less limiter in this
Press than in the screw, aud it is certainly the cheap-
est ever built.
The whole rost of the Irena will not exceed $45.
which may be hnd of C. P. Levy, of Macuu. who iatlie

If from the past transaction* we have narrated,
we learn our condition in the ’Union—they teaclt
ns also that our past policy of pdn-acliou and sub
mission to .aggression cannot, briogtts peace aud
safety. When the doors of Coligres* were thrown
open to agitation on 'he subject-rtf slavery, if tho
Southern States-bad moved with energy to avert
a state of things, iilicnu.tinilioftal itself, and sure
ly tending to bring the slavehnidiug ami non-
elaveholi^g States into collision—nlthonah late, it
it might not have been too Inti? td-stop am>si-qnent
encroachments opnn our rights. Rut the Southern
States were passive; and their foihe.ratio- has
had the effect of inspiring the Northern people
with the belief either that we value a ijnii tl with
them more than we Value the iiistilutiun of .liivex
rv or lhat we dare not move from a cotiscioua in*
ability to protect ourselves. Yon have nngener
on.lv atorj) still whilst your supporters and ilia
the defenders of the Constitution in the Northrrn
States, in their eflorls to protect yon from the egi;
tut ions of elaverv 111 Congress, have been politi
cally anniliilated or have turned yonr foe*. You
have tamelv acquiesced—untik Io liatn Ktnl perse

honor and power in the Uuiotr. You have unwise
ly stood still, whilst year aftertyeor the volume of
anti-slavery policy and sympathy has swollen into
oiiiiumiity throughout all 1 h\- non.slavehnidiug
States, and the sections of tlie Union now race
each othe-in alerti collision. You have Waited
until the Constitution of the United States is in dnn*
gernf being abolished—or what ia worse, is ic
danger of becoming what rhe tnajfirity iu Congress'
think proper to make it. That great principle oil
which onr system of free gnvefnnteiit rest*—of so
dividing the powers of Government—that to n
common Government, only tho.e powers should
be granted, which must affect nil the people com
posing it, equally tn their operation—whilst all
flowers over nil interests local or sectional, abould
be reserved to local or sectional • governments ; is
in danger of being uprooted from their Constitu*
lion. Local and sectional interests absorb tbe time

despotism, totally irresponsible to tbe people of
tbe South—constituted of the Representatives in

Such is a brief, hut imperfact-statement of past

submission, may a* much betray tlie constitution,

does not protect a majority! for they have all the
powers of the goveruinent ill their hands and can
protect themselves. The limitations nf a consti

who have no power, against those who have it.—

hitunlly reviled by tho most spprnbiions epithets
on account of the institution of slavery. II their

grand instrument iu tbe hands of the abolitionists
to degrade and ruin the South. Instead of peace
and protection, aggression aud intuit on the South
characterize Its proceedings and couilferlf. 1 And
wluit ia yonr condition, with respect to your ms-
ter States ? . Where is that respect and comity,
which (.due from all nations towards rarb other)
is more especially dn- from States hound together
Ido ns those who, iu aggressing iijkiii their rights,
overthrow the cotislituiinu. And the public opi
nion of the world is in conformity with these
views. The oppressor is hated—hut the unresist
ingly oppressed is despised. More respect follow S
a tyrant, than Ihe slave who submits to his power.
The Southern Slates, therefore, although a minor
ity. are pot exempt from the responsibility of pre
serving the cnuslitutiou, aud; iu preserving it, to
protect themselves.
In what way shall they preserve the constitution'
and protect themselves?
As a general rule, it ia undoubtedly true, that
when, in a government like ours a coustiiiition is
violated by a majority, who alone call violate it in
maiteht of legislation, it cannot he restored t o its
ntegi ity through the ordinary means of the gov-
in a confederacy, and which was mice displayed I |P I
in all their intercourse. Instead of respect and ernmrnt; for those means, being under the enn-
ivmpntli*—d«nnuri«tioD and hostilily.au account f Itol of tlie majority. It ia for this reason that

condition in the Union? The iion-sl*veho)ding I majority. But thia resource cannot avert ns m the
Sute* stand combined, not only to wrest from you j violations nf Ibe constitution, which now pres*
yottr common property, bet to place upon your and liareia tbe South. By changing their_ rep-
front, the brand of inferiority. You are not to ex

to increase and multiply, that the shame aod sin

extiiiguiriied from n mnng von. Bill the worst fea
ture of your condition is, that it ia progressive—
As low aud humiliating as it now may be. it is des
tined, if not arrested, to "‘u lower deep." Every
effect is a cause; aud the spirit of fanaticism brooks
no delay in the progress it creates. If you were
to yield every thing the North now requires—
abolish Slavery in the District nf Colombia—>ub-
