 refer the whole of them back to th.,, .id s,.. and they esnno, produce line previous 10 ,hl, .... sion ot Congress in which they have attacke ed tho northern proceeding or told our people inc ,ru,h Of this northern hostility. They might hnvs aan. so, bat they either did aOs kRaasa tas fels or dd not comprehend tAe ends and oonsso1eae,.. Ra, Inc moment southern convention is named. thsv wake up. The ooath Is not to he ,rustad U., citizens who cry out for the danger and loudly fOr.. warn, are ''disa nsonists, "iTsitors," Ne am ma, of opinion that such guardians are ef much v.,us to the south, nor that they will be enlightened in time il the people shall await their eOunrila Ia us from the condemnatory sentence of sxclu.io, from all the territories. which has been r,.olvnI and ordered by se legislatures of every single nob ern State but one, and not in that one hscau.. !, was not put to the vote
 Why canuot our people assemble in convention and discuss and declare their opiuions9 Their ne- ton is binding on no one. Their opinjeus ara worthless and of no effect unless right Ar. ,hs.. afraid to hear lhe truth about our rie,,ts and wrongs, put forth by few peaceabls, unarm,d citzensl Are they afraid to hear them say what they will and what they will not submit to- Do they wish us tolform no convention ourselves,!ba, submit to what shal be ordered by the northern conventions and carried ou, by Congrsss7 Do they wish our people 10 remain ignorant, or do they think them fools,
 Go to the North and you will find every solitary northern paper assails our convention. Yet theso papers al the North thai assalI eur convention for 'dsunion. treason Sc., never said sught of objection against the northern conventions Thus you see these sssailants of the southern conveu- ton futi blooded brothers, ss far as sympatbv can develop il, Of northern concerns
 Why depsuuee the southern convention SO bit- terivf It IS harmless body as proposed. They will have no army, no navy treasury and su rcly the hero of Buena Vista must be low n yonr con hdence, if with army. navy, treasury and southern men with northern principles to black him, he can not disperse lew peaceful citizens. and save the Union.
 No, sir. the truth is they who are so hittsr, know that the cause of the South is just, and that the truth declared will arouse her patriotic and high minded people whO viii assert and defend and seek 10 maintain their rights, and that not spit the fancy Of such men. No, sir. il does not suit tho views of men who wish to give up to northern mercy, tfrom which, God save us,) and who arc uii fvta Ina necks of our people. whilst northern malorities here are drawing the last nOOsa that shall haIlsr them fast
 But have written far more on this subject thsa intended wiil stake my existence that he Is rghl who supports the southern convention. We eAa all see that harm will be done by t. if the ptes- ent difficulty IS settled justly and fsirly for tbs south That IS plain. II ia equally plain that f not so settled and fl the North determines isks sli the territory, that our equality is gone, eur rights are destroyed, and are launched on Inc high road to perdtion and il is equally plain that we should make some struggle against aark a fate as must he CUTS
 But Mir. Editor. the shisd is published where have many friends and can but notice that paper, an article over the signature of AmsricnS Accom- panying the paper, information as to who Americas supposed 10 be. II correctly in- formed, | am not aware of my cause for aakind- ness between us much less for the kseRnsss of that hospitality which he manifests.
 beg leave to say that Mslcr r B fOurnoy has not miscoBstr0ed my sentiments, and wi venture to say further, that no could have construed 10 be disunionist per SC. except one whose ap- petits was sharpsned by some feeling of prejudice hostility Amoricus says
