For the South IF estern.
I'VE regret to believe that these dangers have beel
concealed from our fellow citizens ofthe SOUTH Now
fellow citizens of the SOUTH the above language i

by Sldell and Fornev, of which there is 10 doubt no
less than five hundred thousand copies have been scat
tered by the oface-hoders' understrappers and the
hired emlssares throughout the south. Three conse

people of danger of which it regrets very much TO
believe M south is entirely ignorant There is but
one danger however, of which it speaks clearly; but
the other can be easily and legitimate inferred The
first, Is dissolution of the Union. The other is also
dissolution-the dissolution of the pseudo-demo-
crazy: which has become eneryated by its late gor

south have not been advised and Of the algnancy of
which We have heard nothing, and if those dangers

prove this, It Is ony necessary 10 say that It could
not have been otherwise, unless the democrats admit
that although they have been for four years and are

Presentation power, nor holding Office, have by
some strange and unprecedented well nigh de-

democratic party is honest in what they say about the
dangers that are hanging over u.s. and If NE south
ignorant OF all this danger, how can the de-

his vote TO FerEetuate such DISASTROUS Consequences
How dare they look in the face and saw Fellow
