News saws 10 speaking OF Mr.. Bolts:
"No Union man, who loves the Union as he should,
roon nrinciple can sustain him. The Eastern Virgnian,
Who weighs his course in the Convention, is false 10
himself false to his true interest to vote Tor him. In
| n word Mr. b. has been infatuated In every promi.
nent ,i,bc measure with which he was connected
he has 50 entrey forfeited public confidence, public
man thai than folly in The party to nominate
him and would be madness TO elect him.
He has proved the deadest weight any party ever bore
He has talents md influence, all OF which have been
cxerled 10 tho prostraon of the Wing party The at
tempt is now made give him still greater power do
mischief BY placing him in Congress- and thereby sane

Frustrated forever in Eastern 'irg& we VIII never again

Of alarm sounded By Of their own sentines if they will
nnt heurken 10 the warnings of their opponents What
elect MI Bolts to Congress when leading Wing Journal
saws il was than folly to nominate him. and would
he madness TO elect him! What elect MIR. Bolts to Con-
aress when leading Wing Journal says the Eastern Virgil
man who weighs Mr. Bolts in the Convention
false himself false 10 his true interest," 10 vote for him.
What! elect Mr. Bolts TO Congress when Wing Journalist
saw such result will PROSTATE the Wing party forever in
Eastern Virginia! We cannot, will not believe il.
In the present dangerous and alarming attitude Of the
country think it would be speaking in unequiroca Ian
auage 10 the Northern Wing party which has in every Stale
Convention held since the passage Of the Compromise, re-
pudiaed it, though faithful performance OF that measure
alone preserve the Union to on in your asanlaon

What send Mr. Bolts TO Congress when in his effort to as-
ten dsunionsn upon Judge Caskc he plungcs himself into

hence give earthly protection security 10 Southern
rights from Northern aggression. Here is what Mr. Bolts
saws and we think the Interpretation give Is the correct
"Thc gentleman, Ar Caske, asks me what would do in
case inolcrabo oppressin whether Congress
10 abolish the slave trade between the States for instance
would be in favor of dssovns the Union This very
difficult question answer. One thing, certainly would
DO would first oI ALL every effort 10 get the obnoxious
law repcaci and if failed Then would endeavor TO get
by tbs Supreme Court OF the United States an
unconstitutional law and therefore, null and void and In
The event thai other remedy could be found would be
willing 10 resistance. would not screen myself
behind the door of peaceabc seccs on but would nanul-
" fcsis, by the right of revolution"
This sentiment sounds well and would, without quatica-
ton be cinenty beautiful He would first endeavor 10 get
the obno law repealed housh he does say how

failed he would manluy resist by the right oi reyoluon
