4 PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS FROM CABINET
OFFIcER.-ln a recent speech at Whining
ton, N. Carolina, Jacob Thompson, Of Mis-
sisslppl, the Secretary of the Interio', thus
patnotlcally declared his intention TO ba'-
tie against the slave-trade ultraists. He
said:
In the South, anew light has risen, which
is to urge the abolition of the slave trade
laws and the introduction of barbaric Af.
rcans into our midst, endangering the very
safety OF our peculiar institutions. These
laws were passed by the strenuous efforts of
Southern men, and now, all at once we find
men in the South who say they are uncon-
sntutonal. Why do introduce this sub
lect here and now9 Why, to say that when
'hey tell me that the inhabitants of this
country can no longer live together peacea-
o'y IN this Union, wish to run up the stars
and stripes and declare that for one, | am
'eadyto battle against these agitators.
