They are the principles OF poliucai iioety,
and the warfare now carried on against
them, BY portion Of some Of our southern
brethren, is unnatural, and will be aban-
doned as soon as they discover the true
issue now depending,
believe that the same sentiment Of re-
gard for our free institutions, and the
safety Of the south, pervade each OF the
the parties Of our State. They are equally
honest in the pursuit Of this great purpose,
and the time is near at hand when the
great mass of the people will be uoited on
the principles of democracy aud State
Rights, as advocated by that distinguished
apostle liberty, Thomas Jefferson. They
must and will perceive that those only are
the principles which can ensure TO the
south, safety, liberty, and equal political
rights.
BE pleased, gentlemen, 10 present to the
convention my respectful acknowledg
ments for the favorable appreciation they
have been pleased 10 express Of my humble
