tons, which accomplish nothlng-are
mere farce. This letter writer says:

With all due allowance for an excited
state of mind, or party prejudice, still we
gather from such confessions as these,
hints that are of vast importance. 1t is
not merely the alarm cry of party men,
but call men of intelligence" concede that
We stand upon the confines of some mighty

that Congress had no power TO entertain
the question of dissolVing the Union,'
failed of obtaining suspension of the
rules OF the House to admit Of its adop-
