but as an instrument of government that has been
ampled and become obsolete Give us back, say the
Rhetts and the Chesnus. the constitution of our fathers
in its original purity and we will become its devou wor-
shippers; but what is called the federal constitution
is usarpation and humbug These men would dis
solve the Union because they love it too much to the

would dissolve ii because they profess to love the ne
groes too well One thing is very obvious; and that

negro hus the ocsn OF abolition is sounding At the
South the reechod with sort OF sardonic grin
OF delight and the people appealed to TO clasp to their
bosoms these brethren who utter such sentiments, or en-
brace disunion! They are told there is no middle
ground-that ii has sunk beneath their feet and they
must submit or rebel These are the alternatives They
are empha,icaly asked whether they will yield like
cravens or resist like gallant This is the real at

We will not believe that the people OF the North are
willing countenance these abolition aggressions or
that those OF the South ready to fly off from their al
egance to the government of their fathers because a
squad Of abolition agiiaors has, in unguarded mo-.

mpuden, foreign crony OF negroes and vagabonds or
even succeeded in elecng few fanatca senators TO dis
grace the places they gil for few years, and then 10
sink back into ohscury profound az to escape the
contempt OF their coun,rymen only by being forgotten.

boys and lackeys that have folded their papers black
ened their boots.
We earnestly invoke all the good people of the free
States to s,eporh between the living and the dead that
the plague may be stayed" They, and they alone,
crush this foul hydra Of abolition. Unite in discounte

the writ Of habeas corpus, abolished trial by jury, and
rve,ed chains the limbs Of freemen. Correct these
alsehoods explode these allacies and call every
