we regret to hear that there is almost certainty
Of the rejection Of Mr.. Everett's nomination. We
regret this from the apprehension that bad conse-
quences will eusue to the whole country-but much
the worst to the South In our view il is n So,,b,y
question, and the confirmation Of the appointment
IS in accordance with and demanded by the best in
terests Of the South-unlcss increased vi,,Ii., ,o
aboIitionism, and a consequent dissolution Of the
Union be objects to he desired. Blu, # III. senate
