political aspect Of his country. and, If ne

moves to disseminate them as genuine
regard for her welfare and prosperity may
require
AT this iuncture OF affairs the South can
not close her eyes to the fact that, her great
political battle in Kansas is not yet ended;
consequently she must awake from her
slu,nbers and grid on her armour, or In
sloriousiy abandon the out-pcsts OF her
citadel.
Though there is now an apparent calm,
still the cauldron of abolition fanaticisin IS
boiling to an overflow and they have only
stopped awhile to gather strength for a
more desperate struggle. Does the South
believe that abolition fanaticisrn can be
held in its present bounds In the Ian
euace Of distinguished young son o. the
South, "he who expects fanaticism to
forego It's wrathful purposes, saws the

ouenched in other than fires still fiercef
than It's own. forgeis that it concocts It's
venom and its curses in the aleInbic OF hell.
Born of knavery and madness, II dies
only in on agony of sacrilege and treason. y
Such being the inherent principles OF fanat-
icism, the South must not "court sleep to
its eyes and slumber to its eye-lids." She

eted hand stand prepared to defend her
rights a, every point OF attack.
