4 THE TRUTH PLAINLY STATED
HThe crisis has arrived, that clearly indi
Gates the cer,ains triumph Of free-soilism,
and the inevitable overthrow and extinc.
ton of the institution of slavery, unless the
South panilests frmness and unanimity
OF purpose and action commensurate with
the malignant and perseyering hosliliues of
the abolitionisls to that institution.
That which is most CALLING to the South
in this matter is, that the free.soil poll
cy has been established, not by law or the
constitution, but by stratagem and intrigue;
the effect of which will be to accomplish
sooner or later the exlermination Of the
white race in the slave States, or the in
discriminate butchery of the slaves. This
result-so apaling-seems to be apprel.end-
ed partially by al, and is fully appreciated
and acted upon by many. In view of the
impending evil, some of our best and most
talented citizens, have already fed to the
fr"e States aud others preparing to leave1

| It is self evident that the same causes
and influences, which impel our citizens to
leave, will deter others :om settling among
us; aud thus as the black population will
continue to increase and multiply, the
whites will gradually decrease. SO If there
should be no violent convuls;on and blood
shed, as anticipated III former paragraph,
in process Of time the slaveholdng States
will become free, and instead being a

they will become mere negro colony

truly!
This is no forced conclusion for when
slavery becomes restricted, within the mar
row limits allowed it by the free soil party
and surrounded by indignant free states, ye-
sis!ance will be impossible and iguomni-
ons flight or subjugation will be the only
alternatives lett. Hence the absolute nee
essity Of immediate resistance. PeaceabIe
secession is now at our option. It is the
plank upon which the South must rely il
