names, that they may be held up 10 public gaze
and universal scorn What meeting of the
free citizens of the United States, upon questions
of the greatest magnitude TO them, forbidden TO be
held and threatened with violence! On what
times have we fallen, when such threats can be
uttered, and tie authors are taken by the hand
The Southern Republicans, it is hoped, will meet
in Virginia, if ii please them, and we should like
to see the authors OF the resolution attempt 10 mo-
les! them The days of the Sedion law, II APP
pears, would again be revived, II It's advocates
dare attempt it, The Federal Coon resolution, 10
which we have adver.cd, is sign OF what would
be, if they had the power. Consultation among

STRANGE against oppression, is denounced by Inc
