Dear Sir:-Another epoch in the
history of our country invokes the at
tefiticN OF every patriot. In the brief
but eveniful record which makes up
our annals, must another page be
written conveying 10 posteriiy the
knowledge that secession and resis-
tance to the law are boldly proclaim
ed. All, then. who advocate fealty
10 thesconstitution and obedience TO \
the laws, cannot but view with pain
and modification the contempt with
which both are regarded by portion
ofthe American people. "A prompt
and effectualresistancemnstbe be made
TO these heresies, by all who would
project the econstitution and preserve
unsullied themajssty ofthe law The
crisis will not admit of delay. Each
moment the fatal doctrile of nullifi-
cation gains additional strength, and
if not speedily condemned will ac-
quire sufficient power 10 overcome
the resistance which sismnde its ca
reerby wisdom and patriotism. gi
II is Unnecessary 10 snecify thesag-t
gression, which have been commit
ted upon the constitutional rights of
the South by Northern fanatics.
They have been deeply regretted ly
la large portion Of orr citizens; while
they are. made an xcusefor advoca
ting secession inihe Sonthern States.
Each denionStrationtna by the aho-
litionists against the supremacy Of
the law, is the signal for renewed as
saults upon the Union party of the
slavehoiding States. The abolition
lists following the example thus sett
! them, make the incorporate lam
gnage of their Southern allies the pre-
| teXtior another onslaught upon the
conservatives of the North. {
Unscrupulons candidates for office
have vastly increased the mnltiphca-
l.tion and abolition excitement by yiel-
| Idlngtoms demand for.tlie purpose of
Obtaining votes. The effdcthal meth
cd ofafresting The evil is to teach all
aspianis for polilicai'honor that they
will lose more Union votes than they

Here the demonstration should not
be confined, The invocation in be-
