his assertion the southern grievances were
not only equal. but greater than those emu
merated by Mr.. Jefferson. The declaration
Of independence is in every house, but there
is another place where the list is more per
fect-the preamble 10 the constitution Of
Virginia-also drawn by Mr.. Jefferson, and
where an item suppressed in the national de-
clarston OF independence, 10 crafty some
extreme southern friends, was retained in all
its vigor by his native state. That item was

What contrast! The kings refusal to au-
thorize the exclusion OF slaves from Virginia,
then one Of the causes Of separation, inserted
in her declaration Of wrongs, prefxed TO her
constitution; the nominal exclusion by law
Of slavery from a territory where it is not, and
cannot be, now cause OF separation OF the
southern from the northern States! Surely
the Father OF his country had, in his minds
eye, this address OF Nh. Calhoun, when in
his farewell to his children, he warned them
against the Misrepresentation oil designing

His prophetic vision foresaw the present state
Of things when he wrote this paragraph
"In contemplating the causes which may
disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter Of Sc

signing men may endesvor to excite belief
that there is reul difference Of local interests
and views. One of the expedients of party,
to acquire influence within particular di stricts,
is TO misrepresent the opinions and aims Of
other districts. You cannots HELD yourselves
too much against the jealousies and heart bur-

This mnlediction OF the Father OF his
country falls upon Cslhoun--Galls upon the
twenty years promoter Of hatred and alena>

why multiply proofs. From the (ulness OF
