would remain in peace out OF II! Does Mr..

the Union. Don't YOU all begin to see the
folly Of this thing! Don't you all see, what
all men of common SEM SO must see, tina,
outside Of the Union there lies less security
for slave property! Certainly you d.! No
body supposes that there would be anything
other than the way Mr.. Caldwell said to-day.

peace! No, sir, it would be war to the
knife-and knife to the hilt. That is what
would be the result. Where is your secur-

n contest with twenty millions and hold
your slaves at home. It is not TO be heard
Of. More salty! No! The fact is you
would have to sacrifice your negroes, like
France and Hungary did their slave property
at once, at the beginning Of the war. Then
what would you gain so far as you are slave
holdersl What are the non-slaveholders
to gain!
