men, how you denounced Mr.. Bolts for denouneing
the Kansas Nebraska bill rs Q "fraud." Recollect
how eager you were, only two short years ago, to
have him tried and hung . traitor, because of his
African church speech, which speech characterizes
the Kansas Nebraska act in harsher or bitterer
terms than those now employed by Senator Ham,
mond As for ourselves, We have long since changed
opinion of the policy and design Of that measure
and avowed the change, publicly and privately, time
aud time again. We s,iTl believe, however, that
the principle Of the bill, as We aud Southern men
generally understood it. the correct principle #
fairly applied in the organization Of the Territories
but the affect Of the measure has been, and will
continue De- owing to the agitation it aroused and
yet perpetuates ds.s,rious to the South. With
Senator Hammond We believe it was "a deusion and
deception from the bskinniug"-that il is "a snare
to the Sotth'thati It us rotten with fraud !" and
sackcoth and ashes do repent Of the ndscre-
ton Of having lent il support But the Southern
Democracy still hold to their original opinions on
the subject and it is for them to chastse Mr. Ham
mond-a Democratic Senator from the Democratic
State Of South Carolina-for denounciug as "a
fraud" what the Cincinnati platform declares to be
. wise and honest measure, and marvellous blessing

We shalt, perhaps, call further attention to this
| speech Of Senator Hammond at future day. We
remark in conclusion, that with such men as jeff.
Davis, and Senator Hammond taking conservative
ground and singing peans to the UaiOn, that pesti
lent sect Of Southern politicians known Fre-eat-
ers, Secessonists and Disunionists will very soon
izzie out Indeed, when their brAvest and most
trusted leaders have deserted them, they might as
well surrender at once, and no longer indulge in
sound and fury, signfying nothing" Their vocation
is obviously gone.
