There is no compact sectional sentiment ut
the South in favor Of the Nebraska and Kansas
bill, while at the North there is the most intense
hostility to it. What is to be done! Can the
South stand iis,le,sly by and see the bill repeal
cd, when this is made the direct issue against
her. ard the bond Of union, which onrc secured,

plans of the Tribune plainly show, ab"'i!ionistn

it will unite ,hc North against the South, and
secure triumph which it can press 10 the worst
acts of aggression upon her, how can she remain
Indifferent to the result! II ste prizes the
citadel, can she neglect the oulposts! There Is
no alternative for The South. When the North
prc,cns Il sectional i,sur, and tenders battle
upon it, she must meet il. or abide ali the con-
sequences of a victory easily Won, by renlorSe-
