The Secret Ont.

1t cannot have escaped the notice Of the
most casual observer, that since the advent
OF Whig Administration, the opposition
has been Inspired with new. born zeal il
combating the formidable monster, northern
aggression. Locofocoism has been cast in.
to the cfacble Of Cahounism, and concen.
ira'ed to suit the llmes-and for what capse9
Is 1t that the crusade against the South has
become more tanaticaI, more threateaira,
more formidable Is il because the bio cFl.

sngmailzed as base betrayal of the South,
and a sufficient cause for Dlsunion
When, two yeatsago, Mr.. Polk signed the
Oregon bill, with proviso attached, forever
excluding slavery therelrom, the Democracy
were silent as The grave, or mentioned the
act approvlng|y; now, the simple thought Of

and hope, yea confidently expect, that the time
will come when higher tone of justice will per-
wade all statute law when not particle OF the
