To our brethren of the Southern press, n

and true, to upbear the down trodden cause OF
Georgia, against all the hosts OF submission.

the Union is no longer problematical. The last
ten days work at Washington has sealed its fate.
1t is now virtually dissolved, and became so,
that moment the rich fruits Of the Constitution
turned to ashes on the lips Of the South
Its spirit its life, its cement have departed, and
the question of the dissolution of its physical
| frame, is only one of time. An accident may
cause the skeleton to fall to pieces Tomorrow.
1t may hang together for five years. But AbO-
| liton has struck its deatll-wound. 1t must die.
The man is blind, and fool, who believes that
Abolition will stop its present victores.-He Is
Il knaye who reads the temper of the North
and the acrimonious slavery debates, since the
passage of the so-caled peace measures, and yet
tells the South, that it has even momentarily
halted in it's career Of insult and aggression
Its final victory is yet to be won. Its appetite
is insatate, and will never die until every bond
man shall be free. Do not be afraid, then
champions of the South, Of the walking spectre
of broken Union, in your advocacy of resist
ance and redress. 1t is II hobgoblin that will
soon cease to frighten even the schoolboy with
his Ashinin face" The Abolition torrent is
rolling on, on, right on. II you would be true
men, you must breast it. II has already swept
over the Union, and that is numbered among
the things that WERE" 1t is now our duty to ar
rest it, ere it rolls over the South, and wheln,s
in its bloody waters our freedom, our property
our honor and our lives.

We shall make no comment on the proceed

fact is we'll known that they flinched from fair
debate upon their resolutions, and trembled be-

Their refusal to discuss the questions before

resolutions to the rubbish of the table of very
