"If the Southern members would but
submit in silence to have them abolition
petitions), presented, there is a sufficient
majority in hat body at once to put the
subject to rest upon their first reading."-
Northern paper.
There are. we understand, now receiv-
ing signatures in the South, petitions to
Congress, praying an act authorlsing all
men in the north, not worth fifty dollars in
money or goods, to cut the Threats ofevery
man worth $500. and seize his property.
If northern members will but submit in ST.
lence to the presentation of these petitions,
we have no doubt there is a sufficient ma
jority in that body to put the subject to rest
upon their first reading!
