Q every rejecting mind is: What is to be the NJ

st perate assault upon the constitution, the gref

Q ashow OF resistance? The State of Massachu
d sets is vulnerable in one point; however case
y harded she may be against-all appeals to rea

Y is the exposed part, like the heel of Achilles
: where she is assailable. We must attack he

t sensitive spot in which she can be made to feel
: We have large and profitable trade with Bos
ton, profitable to her, but which can be easily
diverted to some other point without any preJu
f dice to us. IF Massachusetts, persists IN this
system of gross and absurd injustice, deprIving
us of rights guaranteed to us by the conaitu-
ton, let us retaliate upon her and make herteel
that we can give hard knocks as well as take
them. Non-intereourse and reprsals may be
established without committing any breach OF
the peace, or destroying anlicable relations; 1t
is quiet and easy way Of obtaining satlsfac-
ton and redress, and our word for it, let but.
the pocket-nerve of our yankee friends be rude
" touched, and it will vbrate with such rapid
ity and force, that conviction will Immediately
follow remorse, and repentance wait upon both.
The odious bill will be repealed on the first
opportunity" "
The suggestion of the Bulletin ought to have
been adopted years ago, and we trust all the
southern States will now do So The only way
Massachusetts can be taughtreason, is through
the pockets of her fanatic sons. The almighty |
dollar is the only god they worship and to Sc
cure possession of it, the aim and end of their
lives. Let southerners make it solemn duty,
which they owe to their country, to cease pur-
chasing goods. wares, or merchandise, manu-
featured in Massachusetts,; stop all trading with
Boston; cease to employ or ship by her vessels
Above all things, let the hundred thousand
outherners, who each summer visit the north
or the purpose of squandering their money on
bolitionists, learn to stay at home and spend s
heir surplus cash in adjoining and improving {
heir own homesteads. By this means in
short period death-blow would |
e given to the abolitioniss and all other can /
Nc hypocrites, who make it business to med c
lie with our affairs. So long as the legislature c

that body cannot be viewed in any other $,

callers, and as concealers of stolen property. t
outheners ought to have no dealings what

The Peruvian governments the most liberal :,
at ever existed, in regard to comforting the =

vote IN the elections for president of the re- i
'bllc, senators and representatives, without q
curing them to become naturalised, or to -
he an oath of allegiance, and without in any
~ losing their right to the protection Of their OF
tona flag, or IN any way whatever compro-
sing themselves. This act of the Peruvian I'll
is a lick ahead of the admiration III
tertaned by the Piercites for foreign voters, bl
d the latter will have to be in a hurry to 70
prove their platform, or they will find them b'
yes long way behind the times in this age al

The Richmond Wing states that an unusu-
y large vote was cast at the late election in
rglnla, and that it will probably turn that tn

and even far more dear, and there is no oc-
ion for dependency. Let your forces be
