The reader will Judge of these extracts for him
sell. III the circumstances that are developed do
not yet justify the conclusions that some of these men
are bent on Southern Confederacy, we cannot shut
our eyes TO the fact, that the nuifying organs of
MIR. Calhoun are attempting to gather strong
southern Party around him. for the promotion of his
yews-and that one of the great grounds upon
which they mean TO rally is the subject of slavery
As yet, they have failed in bringing out satisfactory
proofs OF any design in the North to Interfere direct
ly with this species of property. The ATTEMPT TO
enlist the idea of the Temperance Societies being the
Engines OF Emancipation, is almost us ridiculous as
IL is lhsldlous: 1t cannot stand one moments eX-
ANIMATION. But other misrepresentation will be
broughtto bear upon the scheme. 1t is scarcely ne
cessary for us TO warn the East again upon this sub
Ject. Its Citizens must leave us TO ourselves We
KNOW the eNll--We alone understand the remedy
Let them put down such papers as the "Emancipa-
tor, and dlsclaim such fanatics as Garrison Hands
OIL SHs. Rely uponit if you love the Union as cor
daily as we do, you must beware of this question of
slavery Actively interfere with it; and every friend of
state Righs-every citizen of the South will rush
to the rescue-and the Union itself will he split i'm

nuhers to raise clamor, and wean us from YOU

what the two Multiplying organs in Virginia are at
Their object is TO scatter iealouses and suspicious

body OF the Northern People mean to interfere with

the subject of slavery. When they shall rive anv
