lack Of space rre,lulcs our oticing this portion
OF the speech IA fully as it derives.
The direru effect of the repeal the Missouri Com
promise the Kansas-Neb raskgct and the conti-
nucd agitation of the slavery qu.tion by party de-
macngucs were each elaborated dwclt on. Tho
manifold evils which would attea q dissolution of
the Confeleracv and the insecuty Of slave pro-

and truthful terms, and the spcakr concluded his
interesting and pa,riotic addrcssby an eloquent
appeal in behalf Of the Union as was beouea;h

We are well aware that such senments ne wcro
promulged hy MIR. Boisseau are II particularly
popular with some of the would-s Democratic
leaders South, and we shall not surprised TO
hear that he is pronounced Blac Republican,,
and q traitor TO Virginia. This sortf nonsense is
the only commodity in which that tercsting or
CARNATIONS now deals, and it woulde worse than
highway robbery to deprive it Of so lltry boon.
