The resolutions adopted BY this meeting: the
speeches Of Messrs Everett and Cushing. and the
letter which was read from Ex President Pieros are
all that could have been expected, under the cir.
cumstances, BY any Southern man; and We do not
allade to the sentiments with which Gov. Lincoln
closed his address, for the purpose Of crnsurins that
venerable patriot We allude to them to show TIE
feelings Of even that Union meeting over which be
presided and whose sentiments he no doubt uttered
in the above extract To restrict slavery to its
narrowest legalizcd limits is in the end to destroy
both master and slave. The people Of the South
will never submit to such policy.

not expect Northern men to be proslavery men,

We have right to extend slavery Is climate and

us this right Gov. Lincoln says I'VE arc all lovers

the minority. while the majority would sgitate for
the extinction of the institution in the States them
selves.
The Union il not saved yet!
We cannot better conclude this article than by
the following extract from some remarks delivered
in the House Of Representatives on Saturday last BY
Mr.. Curry, Of Alabama, who. judging him by his
speech on the occasion. is one of the first men IN
House. Speaking Of the Union meetings in the
North, Mr.. Curry said:
~ had. sir. referred to these Union meetings thu,
have been held in the North ~ evidence Of . rr.
turning sense Of public justice in the North. Nov.
Mr. Clerk, while these may be demonstrations Of a
more or less gratifying character. yet these public
declarations commit to nothing. They are not the
true index Of public opinion. The test Of publsr
opinion is through the hallot.hox. There Il where
I look to ascertain the political sentiment Of the
North, and find, deciding by that tc~t that New
England stands here to-day in one solid phalanx ar
rayed against what ! conceive to he the constitu
tional rights Of the South-that New York xtands
here with but five of six representatives who an
disposed to befricnd and our rights. The same
is true. to . greater or less extent, in regard "a
Pennsylvania and Ohio. and other States of ths
Union. The same Is true in regard to their STATE
organizations. The elections arc the evidence o.
popular hostility. and choose to lork to them y.
