tional.
A plain unsophisticated speaker of this
new Union party, whilst making a speech
at Jackson a few days since in the heat and
glory OF his speech i~ncautiously let out the
real secret as to what the leaders of this
party will do, and advise to be done when
everit comes to the final test for the defence
of cur right, although Foote, Freeman,
Geo., for the sake of trying to get and
keep in office, are now travelling through
the State preaching blood and butcher
knives, if Congress and the Northern peo-
pie shall repeal or alter the Fugitive Slave
Law d" or refuse TO carry ITS provisions into
effect" or shall abolish slavery in the dis
trict of Columbia, or attempt to interfere
with it in the States. We copy from the
report of the speech at Jackson, alluded TO-,
as follows - ..
The Speaker said, al am opposed to
and deny the right of secession upon ana
grounds. | am a Fillmore, Foote, Clay
and Union man." | shall not gain say
that we were wronged in the Compromise
bills, but it's law now, and | am a " Union
man." If Congress were, tomorrow, to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia
and the trade between the States, | would
still be a "Union man." If it were to
abolish slavery throughout the Union, /
would still be q /" Union man"
Now is it not evident that this union
speaker and adviser would submit, come
what may? In fact will not a consider.

stantly trying to excuse and apologize fol
the outrages and menaces of the Northern
people against lis and our rights and prop

trial.
Let us go back fifteen or twenty wear:
and see what were the sentiments Of Tho
people here, then, upon this vital question
of slavery. No man would have then beer
upheld, or ever c~ountenanced, who under
took TO excuse or palate northern threats
and aggressions against us, and our right
and property. Have the Northern peopI,
become more favorable aud Just, towards u
and our property, since those good oil,
times ? Has abolition and anti-slaver,
principles at the North diminished aud SUM
into insignificance since that time, as som,
then predicted they would? Or on tn,
othes hand, have not the Northern people
now with almost an unanimous voice de
clared that slavery shall be destroyed
throughout the whole United States? L
