How much mistaken. Since the re-
peal Of the rule. how seldom We see an
abolition petitisn,
Mr.. saunders appeared to have been
sincerely distressed. He appealed TO
the doughfaces in "A extract before me;

How much mistaken, saw again,
these gentlemen were. Mr.. CLAY al
ways argued-receive these petitions,
and much of this clamof viii cease.
The result shows he was right. When
! had the honor Of being in Congress in
1899, while the twenty first rule was in
force, do not think etaggerate when
/ say, that during the period Of three or
four months, we had what were called
abolition petitions presented here, sign
ed by more than one hundred thousand
men and women. Like the camomile
flower the more il is trodden upon,
the faster il grows" this right Of petit
ton when denied was most earnestly
asserted. How stands the fact now D
We have been here more than three
months, and not one single abolition pc
tition has been presented! Hence the
Union will not be dissolved because of
this aggtession. This aggression has
ceased. No, sir. there is no danger to
this Union from any such cause. In
this happy land. our people will occa-
sionally be guilty Of some extrayagant
conduct. We have a numerous popu-
lation, who are not always employed.
What was said by one of England's
great poets other people, can with truth
be said Of ours

Freedom their pain, and plenty their disease"
When they cannot war against the
twenty-first rule, they will form peace
societies. Noble motives prompt them
in this. These agitatofs, comprising
small portion Of our northern people,
not only seek distinction by their moi |
sy opposition to slavery, but they con-
tend among other things for what they
term " the rights of women" do not
know what are the rights they claim ;
whether they think women should vote,
should come to Congress, &C.; but if
they give to the New England women
more rights than those our North Caro-
lima women have, they will not have a
government.
Some Of these agitators do not be.

the authority of any magistrate. Such
people deserve our pity or contempt.
They ought not to be reasoned with.
Denunciation, like the storm upon the

Of prejudice closely around them, and

towards their follies--as it did with their !
right of petition-like the influence of
the sun, will drive them to the shades
of retirement.
But complaint is made against the
North because they will not stop the
agitation and aggression Of these fana-
tics. How can they stop them? New
York cannot quiet the disturbances of
her Anti-renters. "A mob in the city of
New York last year, because of some
misunderstanding between two actors,
nearly. destroyed valuable building,
and caused the death of several per-
sons. Massachusetts,, some years ago,
could not in her peaceful border, pre-
vent the destruction of convent.
Dorrism nearly produced civil war in
Rhode Island. Philadelphia has had
church destroyed, and an abolition hall
burnt down by her staid population.
