CAPT. B. H Rltledge, said
Ihus it is clear, that in all particulars has this
delegation pursued what they believed to betne prn-
cpe Of the pylicy prescribed by the State for her di
rectfon. They declined throughout any enterlacing
with the National organiza ons but they sympathiz
ed in every respect with any proceedings which was
essentially Southern in its spirit, and although his
is conservative far as it goes, inasmuch
as ii is further appeal to the justice and patriotism
of the North, still it is indirectly a southern move
taent upon Southern principles by united South.
The South has been firm up to this point Ii she
has resisted the minor points with such res solutions
recently, let US hope and pray that, in honor and
consistency, she will also stand firm when the pira-
teal flag isrun up to the head and nailed there.

on a struggle; we have at last got the two sec
tions of the Union pitted against each other. On
the other hand have those who deny the rights Of
the South and there those who, like yourself de-
nounc- squatter sovereignty. The Black Republicans
affirm it their object, by the direct legislation OF
Congress to abolish slavery in the Territories. Con-
solidaton in this Presidential election eliminates
event ually to victory ruin. If we shall defeat our
adverse ries if the North rise and this occasion
give as our rights may hold it as omen of good
for the future If they aid in the election OF men
who will stand NJ fairly for their country content to
give US those rights by electing Breckenridge and
lane, harmony and peace will be more among
u.s. and we may look to the future with hope
