the occasion, and the primer pies u was called 10 en-
dorse. The meeting was no common one. Since the
adoption Of the Federal Constitution such crisis
occurred in the political history of our country.
The Hartford Convention treason was confined 10 a
few Eastern States, and therefore comparative
" powerle>s bat Know Nofhingsm has analgama-
ted with sbolj,ionism, and penetrated the entire
Northern aud Western States, while in the East
everything the Democratic party lies dead al
its feet. With such victories 10 stimulate them TO
action, no marvel that when the contest came ia Yir-
ginia the key the SOUTH intense anxiety felt
BY the lovers Of civil and religious freedom as the
result Loud and defiant boasts sent forth by
the Know n ofbug organs and their allies, that the
like frinmphs which had attended their efforts in
other States, would follow them IN the Old Domin-
ion. Though conessedly opposed to civil and reli-
gious freedom and allied to faction which by iegs-
lative enactmenfs had repuliated the Constitution,
and defiance he power of the Sates stll with
matchless efrontery. they invaded the soil Of Yr-
sna, ard sought trample under foot those princi-
pies which had been enuncated by Washington and
Jefferson.
But in This they were mistaken. They bad under
taken task :han equal to their capacities for
lying, cheating and juggling. They judged old Nr-
gina by the same standard they did Massachusetts,

Commonwealth TO the other, from the centre 10 the
circumference the alarm was sounded and when the
Gay Of confest came the enemy driven from her
