HsS- Some Of the citizens of Alabama are taking
a very pugnacious attitude in support of Virginia
against its northern assaiants. Virginia needs
neither sympathy nor support. Its safety is not
endangered, nor are its citizens alarmed, and were

pected after its solemn resolve to secede if Kansas
were not admitted a slave State, and its quiet
backing down after Kansas was not so admitted
But II Alabama is in earnest now, the first step it
conditional reputation OF Douglass, for so long rs
It is willing to vote for him for the Presidency, any
expression of sympathy for Virginia is adding in
suit TO injury. Alabama has never failed to play a
full part in the slavery agitation for political effect
has never refused to coalesce with the northern
wing, nor to vote for any northern man for the
Presidency whom king caucus has selected nor to
aequesce in any concession the South has been
called upon to make in order to propitiate the anti
slavery democracy OF the North. Still true to party,
AM trcachorous TO the Union and the rights Of the
South, 1t hypocritically expresses sympathy for
Virginia whilst it stands ready to give its vote for
DuGglass, the insidious foe Of slavery. A people
who can support Douglass after a puerile effort
followed by tune submission--to force Kansas into
the Union slave State, by means of bravado
are not to be relied upon in a case of emergency
Douglass defeated the admission of Kansas as slave
State, and now, instead of going out of the Union
according to promise, Alabama is still in it, and
what is worse is prepared to vote for the. very man
who kept Kansas out, should he be the Charleston
nominee. Devil take such friends Of the South.

Gratis ought to feel most sympathy for Brown since
but for their agitation Of the slavery question he
would never have committed the crime for which
he is to be hung. The Compromise of 1850, if left
undisturbed would have prevented the blood-shed
which has followed the Kansas bill, and the authors
and defenders of that infamous swindle were the
indirect aiders and abettors of Browns treason.
