Men and brethren of the North. DO YOU
sIl recognize this slavery clause! Mr.
Webster says you DO not, W. OF TIC South
know you do not.
Men Of the South mite. cast TO the winds
your old party ties rise as one against This
fanaticBl crusade.
II is my deliberate opinion that a citizen
Of the United States can carry his property
(slave property for slaves are property,
they arc recognized as such by the coustitu.
tion) to any State in the Union; and That
the people Of free States are morally and
constituuonalIy bound 70 respect his person
and property. Can a State, can Congress
pass a law in direct violation Of the consti-
tuition ? all sensible men will answer 70.
The Nashville convention, that great bug
bear, that scare crow for frce-soilcrs and uL-
ira moderate men and old women Of the
! South. Ladies, do not take offence, ! was
not speaking Of our better half Gods last,
best gift to man.
/ have seen the resolutions and address Of
that band Of patriots, the real union party,
! heartily concur with them in all things,
except their recommendation Of the Mis-
souri, surrender for it is no compromise, it
is a surrender Of our rights north Of that line,
and n scramble with lrec-soilers, tricksters
and aGencral, to Foot the bill on the South.
Will the North be satisfied with the Mis-
sour line! ! answer no for as soon as
they learned that the Nashville Convention
had recommended the acceptance of that
line by the South as an alternative, they ran
us down to "a deg. Q min,
A caucus was held by members of Con-
grcss north and south, Harry of the West
working kindly too; they gave the
screw another turn, men of the South, you
had better holler, or the Gulf of Mexico will
be your resting place.
Americans, if you wish 10 remain as one
people, draw 10 lines between yourselves;
remember the words of Washington, uni
ted we stand, divided we fall"
Mr.. Foote, poortcllow, we have lost him
all that we can do now is 70 recommend
him to the tender mercics of the free-soilers ;
farewell our aee.ing friend the sunny South
has no balmy air for you, the cold and cal.
c%ulating north may have all thyself, we will
not mourn over you.
Men olthe south will you open your eyes,
learn a lesson ere it be too late? Why, will
you suffer yourselves imposed on by letter
writers and newspaper mongers devoted to
northern schemes? Such men should be
taught a lesson they would not forget.
now proceed to offer my plan to save
the union, The first step is, that every
co0nty, parish aud district throughout the
slave.holding states should hold meetings,
elect delegates to hold state conventions ;
the delegates of each state convention to
elect " delegates to represent them in a
convention of all ~slave-holding States.
Some of my readers who may have a lit
tie more caution than veneration, will say
thus far very well you have got your men
together, will they act together? lean on
ly say If they are wise, they will.
