Non-Intercourse and its Effect.

resources of the South, pull the strings as
tight as they possibly can, No backing ou,

hootcd ut and doubted that when the
South raised and cxcrtcd her sinewv arm,
she would demolish with single stroke
her enemies and plant upon a tirm bn sis

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press says:
The Charleston Convention, which as.
semSles on the 23d of April, is looked

with AN unexplained declaration in favor
OF the Cincinnati platform. Judge Dou.

their proposition will be unhesitatingly
and Indignantly rejected. The sentiment
OF the Southern people has become so ex.

Democrats SO exscting, that no conces.
s'ons need be expected. John Brown has
united them upon .be policy Of the pro-
lection Of slavery in the Territories against
the popular will, and il Mr.. Buchanan
shall succeed in his Mexican programme,

country is carried out, AS now advocated
