yielding to the foe without . struggle, aud
= confession of weakness that would expose
it to the sacrifices of routed army. What
would become Of Maryland, Western Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and other
border States, il line Of separation was
drawn between the two sections of the coun-
try. With hostile frontier stretching along
their limits, peopled by those alienased from
them and nimical to their Institutions, with
the fugitive slave .aw, inefficient and OBJ
structed as its operation now is, replaced
BIZ laws in the free half Of the confcderacy
Offering bounty to those who succeed in
inducing slaves to sbscond with oil the ap-
pliancss which snmity and fauaticism would
then bring into play to render that species Of
property insecure, how long would any Of
the States thus exposed consent to support
an institution that brought them only diff
Guilty and sacrifice, and from the benefits Of
which they were excluded? Patriotism and
sectional feeling would in vsia bear up a
gains. thehurdens they would be called upon
free States in self defense, and the barrier
which the south had fancied TO be a perma-
nent one against northern aggression would
prove only the means BY which the north
could most effectually annoy and nolest it.
The Institution Of slavery would bs driven

Of abolitionism never devised = more de-
struetive warfare upon the existence Of the
south than is nm essential part and q sure
sequence of the schemes Of southern seces-
sionists.
We have been forced into these reflections
By an Ill timed and unwise speech delivered
by the Hon. NJ. keitt, of South Carolina, on
u recent occasion. The gentleman 10 one Of
those whom the Charleston Mercury lately
asserted "was stepped 70 the lips in dis
uon," and his speech certainly justi6es the
remark. Sophomorical in eloqusnoe, incon-
sequential in argument, and profuss in de-
passion usurping the Offices Of stAtesnsnship,
and with the rash hand Of violence arousing
q storm which it will take wiser heads and
more able efforts to allay.
