&C. The present aspect Of affairs in our
country is we'll calculated to excite the
serious attention, ifnot alarm, Of every pa
trict aud well.wisher Of this Federal
Union. In the free States diabolical
fana,icism has seized hold of the people.
The utter disregard Of the Constitution
the compact of partnership between the
States-has already weekend, and threat
ons to burst the bonds Of union Insult
upon insult, injury upon injury, have
been piled mountain high on the Southern
States. 10 what is this fanaticsm, this
disregard Of constitutional nights, this
wicked and devlish spirit in those who
are called our brethren ~ a:tributabe' Is
it because the Yankees of New England
have been permitted through SO long a
course Of years to impose upon our credu-
lily and grow rich at our expense with
their notions and wooden nu.megs, until
they have come 10 think the reope of Il e
South "hewers OF WOOD and drawers of
water" fer their blue boscd Lordships !:
Or because free society in their midst has
utterly degraded and dcmolallzed the de-
scendants Of the sturdy Pilgrims? Or be-
cause the Uaon-loving conservatives God
save mark , in the South have SO repeat
eddy broken our front and yielded to their
aggressions upon our rights, until they
have really come TO the conclusion that
we cannot live without them, and dare not
separate Or is it not rather from COM
bination OF all these causes1
Our honest conviction is, the present
condition of affairs is the legitimate result
OF compromise. The fatal blunder OF South.
ern politicians in past years, has been the
readiness with whic h, to acquire the char
a1ter and reputation Of Union-savers, ;hey
have advocated and acquiesceG in COM
promises Of clear constitutional rights
We lear the evil is past remedy-certain-
y there is no remedy but a stern, unflinch-
ing, united purpose Expressed in the
most determined manner, without byavadO
or aoise) Of the WI ole Southern people. to
submit, nc longer TO entertainments upon
Their rights. Let the people rise in their
majesty and crush out every miserable
and craven aougb-face who hints at COM
promise. Let the people Of the South
take this matter in their own hands, and
at once-and having distinctly inform
ed aspiring demagogues and white livered
politicians OF their purpose-requiIe the

remains Of the distinguished patriot and
s,atesman-the author of the Federal Con-
sti,ution, and the great expounder of the
resolutions Of '9S aud '99, I've in the open
field, with no mark to distinguish their
resting place. A bill is now before the
Legislature, to put up plain tombstone
OF granite or bic, TO mark his grave
The bill provides for an appropriation oil
$500 for a stone with this inscription,
'james Madison, born March 5, 1851,

marks with sincere afiiiction the grave Of
her son, the author Of the Federal Consti-

be hoped that the Legislature will do what

through the window, scrambled upon the turf roof
of the house, from which he could see the pOta-

and looked into the barn where she was and find

a short time the shepherd said the same words
again, and the dog repeated his lookout; but on
the false alarm being third time given, the dog
got up and wagging his tail, looked his master il
