been held at Alexandria, D. c. under pre-
ttence of celebrating the victory of the

snowy demonstration among the slave
holders as 10 the SoundueSs of the North
i. touching the "p-e-c-~ liar institutions
the South! Viewed in It's most favora-
bic aspect, we consider this movement the
q most humiliating one that has yet been
made by northern wings for the purpose
of pacityiag the Slave Power. Behold
Daniel Webster at last PROSTATE before the
Southern Moloch, with Senator Phelps at
his heels = Voice of Freedom

, Eaddress, directly, Southern audience on
, topics in which the North and South have

/ deeply TO the fortunes of the South, as
E deeply as men can be on this side of the
grave-and here, before such an audto-

T. lion to do all in his power to prevent the

North. On those questions you (exclaim
