that party 1t the North, came back at our South
err contemporary with . terrible reply, in which
IL i. intimated that the Southern Democracy are
themselves responsible for the losses which their
brethren in the North have suffered. As we are
very much disposed to agree with our Cincinnati
contemporary re-publish his bill Of particulars

slavery question that las caused this terrible fall
