the South have placed themselves IN false po'

sued the same mischievous course, and political
disaster followed in their train. 10 Virginia, the
same suicidal altitude OF some of their leading
men covered them with Notifying defeat. But
above all, they last November voted for free
soil Vice President and President who "slood
mule' on This and all other questions, and who
has shown bis leaning 10 the free soil influence,
by placing in responsible positions in his Cabnel
two arran free soilers, and by indicating in pri-
vale conversation and through his organs, that he
will play into the hands of The free soers by ap.
proving the Wimol Pfoviso. II is for This

now receiving the most signal rebuke in Mary
