Weare not of that Hopeful class who en-.
terrain any expectation whatever that JUS
tice will ever be done to tho South, or that
she will be permitted to remain in the Uh-
ion, except upon The condition that in the
end she viii give npsher rights upon the sub
ject Of slavery. Tho spirit Of hostility to
our ins,ituiiois issas rife ut tho North as it
has ever been. *Itis> truo numerous pro-
t~iossionsof regard for our rights have follow
ed the late series of Congressional meas
sutsss as they have done all other comPro-
misses submitted to by tho Sonth. in which
we have lost a largo measure OF OUR Just
rights. The object, and indeed tho effect
OF these Professions, is to quiet the South,
sanl ITO lnll her into a fatal security. And
the North, with MI eye attentive to the man
zifssstations ofpublic sentiment in the South,
MS soon as it discovers the South will bear
a repetition ofthe dose, get mp another diff

= which, through Northern fanaticisIn and
Southern treacliery, we arc again cheated
saoat Of dhother large portion OF our rights.
This game has been so successful, that
while our vast territorial domain is
open Ia the Northern men; we arc III effect
excluded from every foot of il. a.

lures of the North are also clnmorous for
s be levied upon the returns of The industrial
sexports Of the South. Hence, MS wc have
Z. already remarked, tho Tribune, tho most
..opon md candid Of tho anti.slavery papers
of tho North, i; dicatcs rs the true policy for
tho North, to cease the agitation of tho
slavery question, at least until another d-
vision of spells in the shape Of Congrcssion-
al appropriation bills, shall be mnde. The
policy is, to lot the victim have rest until
) the contents Of the treasury be squundcred.
!. One thing at n time, is the game. Alter
this division, the war OF aggression and ag-
tuition can ard will be resumed, and conlin-
ued so long us VIC will bear it, only to be
suspended at those annual periods al which
the tribute exacted from the South, by high
and unjust t%nXution, is TO be divided out
among those who live in that favored re.
gion whose hypocritical boast is, that "thcir
skirts are free from the sin ofslavcry."
Tho Tribune gives us distinctly to un.
dcrstand that the North never will consent
that any portions Of California, New Mcxi.
co or Utah shall over be open to the people
lof the slave Suites. In this sentiment the
Y Tribune expresses the universal sentiment
ofSthe whole North Of all parties. And
we have to make up our minds to submit
to this dcgradingjnequali,y, and in the end
to give up our property, or like men deter.
mined, at once and without further delay, 10
.1nssert and maintain those rights and that in.
dependence which arc so Justly ours.
But the Tribnnc moi only shadows forth
what is the policy of the North. but distinct
w intimates that the Government will make
effort to cocrcc tho obedience to IRIS meas
urcs. Ii we doubted beE re, such articles
! from the leading papers of tho North, dis.

For ourselves we have no hope for Il bet.
ter state of things ut the North. We have
never known the spirit of aggression and
concession and submission. That gooL
faith and brotherly love at tho North o
which we now hear so much, exist only iy
the Threats of the demagogucs, who wan,
our money or our votes; and, with lowev
or much reluctance, we shall as soon bt
driven to the conclusion that not being able
