THE NoRTH-Aets are daily transpiring at
the North which, instead of tending to relieve
us of our apprehensions for the safety of South
ern Institutions but serve to deepen the i'm.
preston on our mind that they are doomed, un-
less we take more energetic and determined
measures for their protection, than we have hith-
erto done Although there are many good, up
right, constitution loving citizens at the North,
yet they are utterly unable to stem the torrent
Of fanatcism, daily increasing in volume and
velocity, and rolling on against our most cher
ished in-ttutions. Scarcely any attempt is now
made TO recover fugitive slave, without either
the owner, or some one else being either killed
or wounded. Look at tie horrible tragedy
Christiana, where several were killed end many
wounded. At the recent outrage at Syracuse,
where the marshal, in the discharge of his duty
had his arm broken---and say whether the pros
pect is not oark indeed, and whether there is any
hope of it ever growing brighter. Must the
South still bear on, when she sees the very Law
on which she anchored her hopes daily infracted
and her citizens killed when they attempt to re.
cover their property. Is there no point in which
sbe will resist-N G. Hornets Nest.
