Calhoun declared that the Northern democracy

that tie crisis had come. The South. he S" i

was settled and it only left for them 10 act
With great solemnity he announced ms oeneI tha'
they would meet the crisis as 1t should be met IN
this way the country was agltated and the attehP.
made to dragon Congress INTO second Ml5sou In
COMPROMISE Dsunion was brought close nome
&c the inevitable alternative. But all would not
do Tie North stood firm, and tie administrator
of that day had no Union hobby to ride, and so let
the storm spend its fury, and JtO~ itself a calm"
Sitting the chat out Of the whole subject, here
is what we have left The Union was to be dis
solved if the North should have the ''audaclty
! wide Judge Butler) to propose to excluae the
! South from territories to be acquired from mexico
Then, after having obtained the territories II
was to be dissolved if the South was not allowed
to have specific proportion of them for Slavery
to wit-all below $50 80 Then again, 1t was
certainly to be dissolved if California was admitted
as free State Bat all these things haze been do1e'
and no dissolution has foltoced we have escaped
all the threatened dangers and the very recoIlec
ton of them is fading from the public mind Now
we have it from the best authority that the Unlor
is to be dissolved if certain law, passed IN the
wear $50 relative to fugitive blacks, whoSe ceet
est adyantGge and recommendation as that 1t enddte
the South to catch runaacoys at fire MoaSa"d dot
lars head, should be repealed or omended.
sTo this complexion it has come at last
Tell it not in Gath II is an awfuI decindle.-
} And hoac people can keep their continuance whH
l agielding such q ping terror, after what zee hog
heard ia tie last hCo three gears, passes oar com
prehea$ion. These is neither fash nor roar at s"cI
performance. 1t is no more like some of TIT
Southern touches at disunion that we have alluded
to- than streak of dirty yellow paint is like tias
l of lightning. We protest, in behalf OF the ma
tional reputation of some of our great men, ant
of the responsibility of our Wing Administration
that this belittng process should cease at least il
official circles.
