declares that the slavery people will certainly
break up the Union in great row, II Congress
do either one Of two terrible things, to-wit;
enact the Wilmot Provlso, or pass law decree
ing liberty to the captives in the District Of Col
umbia. II also recommends the holding OF a
convention In Nashville on the first Of June
next, to be composed of delegates from the
slave States, 10 adopt some mode Of resistance
to the aggressions the North is constantly
making on the poor, asthmatic, colicky South.
Now, we predict that no traitors convention
will be he'd In Nashville, and that oil the re-
commentators Of these MississipPsns, who
have tried to use the South Carolina thunder
and have blundered sadly in the heroic effor
30 to do, will pass away without IN echo in thu
future. They will find the bonds Of the UnioI
much less manageable than the bonds Of tn
Union Bank, which they repudated dozeI
years ago.
Itrequires that ones frame Of mind shall b.
extremely amiable to speak Of the doings
