Is this unhrokcn testimony of deed and
speech nothing? Will the South unite
with this northern know nothing movement
animated with the sentiments of socialism
and aholitionism? Will the South enlist
in crusade of socialism and aloltionism
that we may exclude from our councils men
who. like CASTOR wovc lanreIs IN the histo-
rv of North Carolina, or who, like Porter,
whom Louisiana loved to honor, graccl the
Senate hall? Will the whig party of the
South go into il? ] ask the wings Of the

Will the demo racy of the South go into
this order? Will tbcy abandon tlcir old
cause of State rights and the constitution?
Will they desert their old flag wlith they
have waved so often in the breach and over
the field, and have illlmined even in defeat
and fernent in this new order? The men,
