Judge Reagan has heretofore c>ercd himself to AZ
rest the wild progress Of aboliticnsm at the North,
had dcnour ,ej abctionsts and had warned the peo-
pie of the South CT their danger, that he must now
advocate the re-opening Of the slave trade, and must
encourage libustcring; and that his opposition to
a2itators aud agitation must necessarily recoil on
himself

ring bitter sectional controversy, and its apparent
object was to use every ezortion TO point out and ar
rest tho sectional character Of that party and defeat

and he said so in Congress and at home. These are
the facts which gave coloring 20 his speeches last
Summer aud those who heard him here, will re-
member that he did not advocate anything for the
purpose OF agitation to secure dissolution of the
Union but denounced every sectional agitation and
locked to the destruction of the government if that
should become necessary in order 70 secure our own

Tho boilers charge upon him that he dcuounccs
the defenders of slavery agitators, &c, SC. This
is only another instance of their characteristics npti-
tude for Misrepresentation. While Judge Reagan,
in his circular keeps up his war;ng against the aho;-
ticn agitation, he opposes with earnesncss all
tcnal agitation about the African slave trade, and
about libusterpg, and exposes the Objects for which
It was done. Ills efforts were directed not agains
planters, and Shareholders, but against agitators
