crafty their vindicive feelings their execrable am
bition would insist upon it, that any portion OF this
country would be happier by itself than associated with the
others We consider dissolution of the Union as one
Of the greatest calamtes which could befa the human
race--as necessarily calculated to provoke civil war,
and to drench the fields Of Maryland and Virginia
in the blood Of their citizens-and as destroying
for century to come the progress of liberty among the
oppressed people Of the world But yet there is
danger OF this terrible catastrophe being brought about
Let not our brethren OF the North believe there is no
such danger Let them be assured by one who knows
the South but who prdes himself in being an American,
that there is point Of endurance on this one delicate
subject which home her hearthstones and her
homes beyond which they cannot be expected to go.
With the same frankness we tell bsethren Of
the South that there are equally bounds to the con-
catory spirit of the North. They must respect the
feelings OF each other. They must preserve that
noble and magnanimous spirit of Cancellation on which
they formed this glorious confederacy OF sovereign States

no advantage by the last, as runs the slang OF the
