Thus the rule, adopted to prevent the
agitation of subject over which Congress
has no jurisdiction, is repealed, and We
may henceforth expect that a large portion
of the time of each session will be spent IL
vehement abuse, denunciation, and false
hood levelled at this institution. and the
people of the South, by the fanatical incen
diaries on the floor of Congress. 1t is vail
to deny that this is a step gained by thu
Abolitonists. The publication, far an,
wide, ofsOme score Ofinhammatory speech
es, each session, will prove, in our poo
opinion, but an Indifferent means Of alIay
ing the wild fury which is being so indus
: triously engendered in the now domInan
portion of the confederacy. Is It not tim
the people of the slave-holding State
: should (" take counsel of necessity" an
devise some means to S tay the rising It'd
= of Infatuated, furious fanaticism, which S
seriously threatens to overwhelm ther
0 with destruction!
7 The next step is the proposed abolitio
= of slavery in the District of Columbia
s When that is effected, the days of our fc
n derai union will have been numbered.
