How then could Mr. Nicholas expect escape its strc
lures or IFS censures,
After all, what does Mr. Nicholas say p
The following il the substance of the Remarks made

by the Wing
That persons too much in the habit Of speakinr
shghungy as to the Importance of the Unon-Tha il
Southern States it important, only for reasons
applicable to all the States the question Of secu
ry as to the slaves-That the person who did not high
y value the Union, must know little of history and
have slight knowledge Of human nafurc-That in case
of dissolution Of the Union these States would nost
the North the South and the West--That the in.
evtabe consequence Of such DIVISION would be- 10
foster spirit of rivalry and collision between these
border States, which must inevitably lead 10 war
That IN case danger should ever result from SER
vile war, the Southern coniederacy, which contained
the slave population would have 10 relv ON ,he;r
own resources cxcusivey-That whilst the Union
lasted, and friendly feeling preserved between the
States in the event Of insurrcction he believed that
thousands from sister States would come to our aid
That the Constitution having provided that the General
Government was bound TO aid in repeng invasons and
suPPsssng insurrectlons had right to call for the
aio OF the army and navy of the u s., and that
der any conceivable Administrations, aid W ould
be promptly ahorded-That IL IL in such a

He gave intmaUn that the State Of Virginia was
not fully competent to repress nsurrecon of the
Slaves within he's borders.IIs whole argument went
