that is past-when il Calhoun had been brave.
" seconded ty the Southern people the South
would have carried the day but now there IS
nothing cit but submission. for the North
must rule Calhoun, gray haired and broken
hearted, vanished like M llupTccating shadow
into the eternal grave. The South WAS divided
distracted ungratetul. Your Wise is q great
man-.as great as Calhoun. or as any other

! like Calhoun--and after death he held in honor
as = great and shining light, upon which, while
living. the Southern people capriciousr closed
p. their eyes.
! We have the maorily aud we have u right
TO rule, bur We shall use YOU kindly, and ad-
vantageouSv for yourselves. In ten years,
slavery will vanish from Missouri. Kentucky,
Tennessee. Delaware Maryland Virginia and
North Carolina. It will be permitted in the
other Southern States, because it is erpedieGt-
for il is purely Il matter Of policy. The owners
in the above States will realize higl, price for
their p,rspna' property; and when wc 1hdger-
ist three nr four million Yankees among them,
lands ncN' selling at ten to thirty dollars per
acre, will ti:u. from fifty I" one hundred and
fifty dollars per acre. Thus ar policy. which
is to govern will he most advantageous tor the
Northern slave States. Will you not take our
prescription, which will do you so much good?

not. You are not able tc resist. We can al
anv time set the Southern people against each

Washington. sn us 10 make them neglect or
discard their best men; and we can buy Hp or
megntirs any Of their ordinary aSpirants, by
holding out the Presidency to ihem as we hold

We will elect SEWARD, who is really Il mid,
beneficent and comprehensive statesman. he
will do more for the South, than any Of your
nu6bin men. and wc shall not permit you 10 put
forward any other You will not resist eighteen
millions with Sir--and YOU cannot do without
our goods any no:e than we can do without
your money Be quiet. md zee Hp"t up Tie
price of uour ldntd. 1t is nonsense to talk
about hoM9r equality and Southern rights
Talk only about the MAJORITY, and things prac-
teal. advantageous and "ecessary. 1t would
be 6Qd policy for us TO abolish slavery in the
cotton States. Let that be q sufficient guaran-
tee. As for the Constitution-wc Shall soon
have votes enough to remodel it to suit the
times and the predominant sentiment OF the
