IN. R,sht sp,rl. In the Right Quarter.

We lind the following admirable article in the Portland
(Maine) Daily News. The sentiments, the tone, the
spirit are all worthy of imitation. We hope such
manly example will be followed at the North by all who
love their country This is the mode Of putting down
agitation sencing abolition nuifer and southern ultra
disunonists and restoring tranquility to the country
This is substantially the patriotic platform which we have
hitherto laid down alike just, SAFE and equal in its
guarantees to all sections of the Union We believe the
well meaning OF the South will be satisfied with il
and il the same disposition be shown by the great body
OF the people of the North, il will tend more than any
other event that could possibly happen, to terminate the
unhappy differences that now exist between the two Sec
tons OF our country.
On this platform every friend Of the Union and OF the
rights Of the States sand whether he be Of the South
or Of the North We tru. we shall see the convention
Of Georgia occupy it, well the legislature of yir
