Of the great mass Of the people, and find

parlizans. nn assurance Of the continuance
Of this uuon Of States-an assurance based
upon a foundation far more enduring than
oil the compromises that have ever afflicted
the country, ran vouchsaie.
Just niter the great compromise meas
ures had passed over the heads, against the
solemn protestations OF Southern Repre-
sentatives in Congress, the people-or at
least some Of the people-of Natchez held
a uhjg meeting, aud under the false and
abused garb Of friends Of the Union, enacted
a string OF resolutions approving Of all
the North had done, and censuring the
Southern delegates IN Congress who stood
out manfuIly for the rights and honor oflbeir
section. We are told by Col. Davis that
when thes resolutions reached the federal
capitol, the arms of Southern delegates
were pasalyzed, and the abolition storm
ragged with renewed fury. Thousands OF
the resolutions were reprinted by abolition
ISIS, and scattered broadcast over the land,
and when a Southern representative would
speak of the injustice aud wrong The Com.
promise had doue the South, abolitionism
would point to the Nalchez resolutions,
and thus drown and repress every effort.
Men actuated by the same motives rs those
who enacted the Natchez resolutions, held
meetings in other cities aud adopted similar
sentiments.
The heart Of Southern patriotism trem-
bled at the sad aspect Of affairs. An adj
ministrntion was in power, honoring with
Office and praise those Southern men who
were opposed TO slavery, and burdening
with abuse and persecution those who OPP
posed the abolition movements Of that I'D
ministrotlon.
Bnt the people, tho great and virtuous
mass Of the people, at the South, began TO
enquire into the matter, and they are now
shaking the lcgions OF federalism from office
and place, "as the fierce hon shaketh the
vermin from his NAME" The voice Of AL.
ALBANIA and Kentucky has sent a thrill of Joy
aud hope TO the Southern heart and visi ted
confusion 10 the allies Of the North, who
remain at the South inst as the mistletoe
clings TO the tree to suck it's substance, aud
then seek a more congenial place The
transparent hImbug Of Union, picked up
by old federal hucksters, has been blown
to atoms by the storm of public indignation,
and the clovon foot concealed beneath it,
exposed, to the public gaze, AS i'll other
