writer say:
we have uo, SGT been able To discover the

Now. what Is an ultra northern man lie Is
one who believes that slavery is an abomInahle
crmo and disgrace 10 the country. t. get
r.l of it.. be would not only trampIe the consil-
tuition under foot dissolve the Union, and STIR
np a relentless riyil war, but be would create
900 Instruction in our midst, and rejoice to learn
that the horrors Of san Domingo had been retc-
rated IN the southern states. THIS is an ultra
northern man. Nov, for a southern uliraist.
He beli,yes that the states previous 10 the for
nation of the present Government were indie
pendent soycreignii,s; that the arcsen, Con
.htutan contains all the powers surrendered by
them, and that I'll the rest are retained by the
states. He is consequently in favor Of q strie'
construction Of the constitution, and opposed
to nll Implication. lie ha, seen that ihc north
has. tue and AGAIN, VIC atyd this sacred lns,ru-
menl that she has eNlud,d the south from
iwo-lhirls Of the territory previously belcnpug
20 the Union, and that now she has determined
to exclude her from To, whole of the recent ac-
questions. H. plainly sees that the Object of
ih., movement is fis some northern politicians
have confessed for the purpose of giving the
north sleha prcpoudef.nce in The national gov
erumcnt as go enable tem TO abolish slavery
n the states He sees that the rights of the
states, the existence If the federal compact,
nay. liberty ITSELF are involved an the issue. So
long as il continues to perform the function 4
for which 10 was crraicl--so long n il remains
a Constitutional Inion-he is in favor Of its
porpciuaiion; bat rather than see it changed
into one Of inequality and oppression he is in
favor If it, destruction. lie is not disunion-
ist per- ~ bu, la}ors 1t only as a dornef resort
This is the ultra southern man. The abolition
sl makes war upon the consiitulion--thc ultra
southern man defends IL. The abohtioni.t
would ruioce 10 hear Of the massacre Of the
southern people; while the most ultra southern
man, 50 tar from making war ON ANY section, is
willing to surrender up portion Of hi. rights,
if he can secure future peace. And yeta south
cfn print sees no difference between these two
men both in hi, cye, are cquslly cnlpable.
The editor remarks That the storm is subs-
ling, and that be is confident the question viii
be speedily settled. We would Ike to know
what evidence he has of itt Congress has now
been in session five months, and the slavery
question has occupied nearly the entire aiten-
ton Of that body, to the exclusion of every
thing else. And yet, what has been done
Nothing An Of the compromise, offered have
come from southern men; and yet we do no,
know one of them, 60 which the south could
safely aeccde Bu bad as they arc--surrcuder-
ing as most Of them do all the questions at IS
ted fact that not one Of them would meet wiih
northern support
The writer in the Hrad says that the Ten
nesscc papers condemn the Nashville couycn.
ton Gin uumoasuced terms The whig press
Of Tonnc- 'ec, II is true, eoudcmn the Cou,cu.
ton; but we would like to know what dem.
ocr;lc press 10 that st,le is not in favor of it.
The Memphis lppeai aud the Nashville i,iion'
are both warm advocates of the Convention
Us W. have previously shown from articles cX. /
iractcd from these Journals These papers
speak the sentiment of the party of Tennessee,
and they tell Ms that democrats there are united /
on the sah.eci Of the Conversion
Bat what we look upon as the greatest argu- |
ment We have .ern in favor of the Southern /
Convention, IS that the entire southern dccra- |
ton In the T. s. Senate, with the exception .
Of three mcmbcrs) as reported, have recon.
mcudcd it, Il ia a virtual acknowledgment /
that they have done all IN their power 10 set.
tic the question but without avail, and they |
now rticf the matter to their constituents, TO
unite upon some plan Of adjustment, which, If
adopted, will put the slavery agitation forc,cr
At rest
Tho obIcc, of this TRADE aeaiust the h..sh.
Vile Convention, Is to cndoagor TO create an
Hiouudci prejudice against it, But Il Will not
lvail. The people can mo- longer be blinded TO
he danger; they see il, and are preparing for

very confidence. At the same time they re-
