DO wayerng now, when, after long and repeated
submissions on the part OF the SCUM, 400 inonism,
triurphs, and marsha.ling its hosts from Maine TO

South. We hope that our sentinels in Washington
will keep bright watch in the coming night, and,
with spirit kndling to the crisis, present an on
Welding front to the onset. Let the government
perish, but let the South be preserved.
But free soiism in Congress not only states the
existence of the government upon the success OF Its
policy but by the withdrawal of the federal troops
from Kansas, proclaims civil war. The North de

Gen. Quitman openly say that they desire "'he
troops to be withdrawn" and Mr.. Whitfield says:

it, and with her rests the responsibility. The tsoops
in kansas bare pa. lhed up temporary peace IN
Kansas at the expense OF the South. They have
chilled the spirits of Der gallant sons who went firth
wiling to 90 and die in her behalf. They nipped in
and sheltered the abolitiohsts from tie storm they
had invited and provoked. Let them be withdrawn,
and the hands OF Southern be set free 10 meet
