modem democracy:
While Ne are p true Southern man. de-

our section Of the Union, we must be per-
mistad 10 tell our Southern friends, and
espeeisHg Southern politicians, that they
act nnwisely in taking a course that will
set the whole sentiment of the North in
opposition to them, unless they have re-
solved to go out of the Union, and to form
a Southern Confedaracy. Taking the
popular vote of the Northwest, and esti-
mating the Increase for the next four years,
at tie rafe chat has prevailed for the last
four years. Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, In
diana and Illinois viii contain popnla-
lion Of more than eight millions, and will
be enfitled to ffty-fve Representatives in
Congress, in lion Of twenty-nine which they
now send to the House. And in the next APP
pointment they viii be entitled 30 fifty

electoral votes in these Ave States alone !!
The present House contains ninety mem
bers from the Slave 3tates-not reckon
ing the Slavery members from the Free
States--and Que hundred and forty-six
from the Free States. Under the next ap-
pointment, therefore, the Free States will
have two 10 orr one in the House,and two
10 one Id the electoral college. Can we

that party have kept this subject agitated
before the country, and viii not let it rest.
Nor VII hey abide any law or comprom-
ises t'lst may be agreed upon by the
North and South. The everlasting cry OF
the North and South-the peculiar insti-

South, are always on their polluted and de-
ceikful lips. The agitation Of the question

Of TaYlof's death when they brought Poll

so soon as they elected their man, turned
