Thus the rule, adopted to prevent the
agitation Of a 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has no jurisdiction, is repealed, and we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 in
vehement abuse, denuuciaton, and false
hood leveed at this institution, and the
people of the South, by the ianatical incen-
diaries on the floor of Congress. 1t is vain
to deny that this is a step gained by the
AboIitionsts. The publication, far and
wide, ofsome score ofinhammatory speech
es, each session, will prove, in our poor
opinion, but an Indifferent means of allay-
ing the wild fury which is being so indus
triously engendered in the now dominant
portion of the confederacy. Is It not time
the people of the slave.boding States
should take counsel Of necessity" and
devise some means to stay the rising tide
of infatuated, furious fanaticism, which so
seriously threatens to overwhem them
with destruction!
The next step is the proposed abolition
of slavery in the District of Columbia
When that is effected, the days of our fe.
dera union will have been numbered.
