attempt TO the Administration from the grasp

Andrew Jackson has sounded the alarm, and the sa.
! 81 chs dis
/ 10 his predictions The South is in danger-and so is
the Union. Touch the slaves of the District and the
Union is gone like fax before the flames Open The
door constantly to those petitions and W. H. Harrison
tacy admits their right, and his right hand minister,
Daniel Webster, has attempted 10 vote down every re-
solution which would seal the lips Of the petitioners,
and flood of debate. and flame Of agitation would
come upon US, which are directly calculated 10 sweep
away, and TO consume the very pillars of our Union.
| Impressed with these solemn convictions, we will
not cease sound the alarm in every region of the
South and still to call upon Georgia, upon aryand,
upon civarous North Carolina, 10 come to the rescue
and TO stand by the Northern Democracy, who have
stood by US. But lf, still do not expect they
will be blind to their interests to desert US,
Virginia will occupy position in the Union which the
proudest patriot may envy. Unawed and mmovable,
she will still battle for her State Rights principles and
for Southern Rights She will again become the flag
bearer-and with snewy arms, with bold and buoy
heart she will bear it aloft, until she will again
her sister States and the Constitution from
the proclamation of Federasts and the treachery of
Apostaes If others should desert US, it only forms
the stronger necessity for standing fast, putting
forth all our strength, to save the Citadel itself
We call then upon every Virgnian, upon every man
who values State Rights and Southern Institutions, 10
exert every nerve, to march to the polls carry
ry Democrat with him, to the State What
proud character what noble wreath will entwIne
the brow of the venerable mother Of States and of
Statesmen, when other States may be shooting mady
from their spheres, SHE should stand like her
mountains-fxed, mistaken, immovabe With the
fxcdness of purpose which she will thus display with
the moral power which she will thus acquire again
she WILL be respected, while feared by her enemies
honored and trusted by her frends-She will come
forth to the rescue, as she did in '99-agan she will
become the standard bearer, and every noble heart
will rally 10 her support.
Let US then put forth all strength on the second
of November. We have it in our power to reflect
Martin Van Buren, He Will be reelected, in spite Of
the premature brassadocas if the Republican States
of the Union do their duty Even uc shnnlH lose
