SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

We commend the following choice extracts TO
our UniOn-sayng friends who propose to assemble
10 testify their devotion to the South generally,
aud Southern trade in particular. They are sam
ples of a great stock of similar gems which can be
found in all the Southern papers, but wh ch we
deem it unnecessary to multiply to any extent in
our columns:

here is trstin ony from differing sections Of the
Prc-slavery party, to which We anectionately call
the attention of tie speakers aud resolutioumakers

significantly point TO the necessity we have else

to shall be entirely explicit in the expression of its
idees. If it can find anything in uthern doe
trnes 10 condemn, let Us know precisely what that
something is Do I OF cover it up in vague general
ities, but be precise. For example:
|. VIII the meeting disapproye of the Southern
threat TO dissolve the Union in ease Republican
should be legally and cODsttutiOnally elected Pres-
dent
2. VIII the meeting condemn the we-coDsidered
proposition of the South, already introduced into
Congress- to demand repeal of the law making
the .la7e-trade pirocyl
3. VIII the meeting condemn the claim Of the
South not Only to carry their slaves into all the
Territores, and hold them in defiance of all law to
the contrary but to take them into the Free States
and there hold them at pleasurel
4. VIII the meeting dissent from the creed now
uniformly asserted alike by priest and layman in
the South, tha. Slavery is a wise, benefcent,
moral and divine institution, which should be not
only maintained, but Indefinitely perpetuated In
q word, that it ia absolutely right, applied to
every SUBJECT of it from the fresh BOzal up TO the
accomplished OctOTOOD'
We present here no eItravagant or question
able point. We leave the ultraisms Of the South
out Of the question. We merely want to briug the
Unon-saying people face TO face with the actual
ard notorious position of the Southern Democ-
rscy, and te know distinctly whether they approve
or condemn it. Gentlemen, will you face the music
