it would afford me not little qualification to
discover that those Of us, who originally urged
acquiescence in the Compr ,mise measures as
a final settlement Of the question growing out
Of the system Of domestic slavery, were even
deemed worthy Of simple forgiveness, at the
hands Of those whom we have never wronged,
aud who have 50 long causelessly pursued US
with an unrelenting bitterness and hostility
which have but grown more aerid from lapse
Of time. | wish that did not positively

Compromise aud its advocates, yet among
the would-be leaders Of The gehuihe secession

bottom Of my heart, that could truthfully
say, that among such persons as have Just
described, those patriotic and high-souled

such exhaustless energy in 1851, for the pre-
servaion Of the Union itself from the most
fearful dangers that ever yet threatened it. are
not now more rancorousiy hated, than they
were even two years ago, when the great bat
tie Of principle was yet wagihg But pro-
per regard for truth compes me 10 declare,
what is indeed now most evident to all, that
no moderation or forbearance on the part Of
Union democrats is at all capable Of allaying
the fierce and undying malignity Of those
who have been bafiled in their scheme for the
violent disruption Of this noble confederacy |;
no concessions not equivalent 10 the most pro-
found degradation, can satisfy their arrogant
and imperious demands; no sacrifice, hoRev-
er sweeping could at all molify their appetite
for vengeance, except such as might be mark
ed with the political manytdom OF myself
and Of every faithful and beloved friend that
have in the State. Though, as an answering
national Democrat, desirous Of the prosperity
Of my party, and the success Of is honorcd

to see every professed Democrat in Mississippi
returning once more 10 the venerated creed Of
our fathers, and acting with perfect union with
all sincere and enlightened national Democrats

| should have been greatly delighted to see
every citizen Of the State, either Wing on
Democrat, coming forward, and giving his
public and hearty sanction 10 the . 'opinio,s
