to another, bearing down every obstacle Of
resistance, building up height after height,
and pinnacle after pinnacle, and fortress
after fortress, we are talking about pro-.
tecting Southerr rights, resisting at all
hazards aud to the last extremity" Mis-
cradle stupidity and folly! We stand idle,
crying out help! help! while the hungry
vultures Of the North are swallowing up
everything-trade, travel, territory and
the government itself. We are relying
upon high resolves, spread upon paper,
unexecuted, standing upon our dignity
and the reputation which our Fathers
dearly wrought out for US.
No one who has half an eye can help
seeing that the strength Of this Union
must soon be tested, and possibly the phys
zeal strength Of the two sections, aad where
is the preparation on our part for such a
contest? Can no appeal to our natural
rights, to self preservation, sectional inter-
est, OF State pride, induce Our people to
return to asense Of justice and Of duty p
We fear the warnings Of history and teaclf-
ings OF the present, will fail to arouse US to
true sense Of our position. But enough
for the present. We shall recur to this
monstrous abortion Of a Railroad Conven-
ton again. We do not feel like letting
the subject rest, until the people are made
acquainted with the feelings which AMI
mated, evidently, the Southsiders.
