upon Northern ears. but they are the reflex
of the Southern Democracy. and as the
Democratic party is great National par

by Northern Democrats. IL the Democra-
cy think the utterance of such sentiments,
is calculated to intimidate Northern free
men, in our judgment they will find they
reckon without their host. II it is sup

principle TO appesse Southern FIRE eaters.
in our judgment the superstition is grouRd

a terrible retribution awaits Them about the

But read the following what Southern
Democrat says:

mode by which the South can extend sla-
