The indications are that our continued and
searching exposures of the plans and aims OF
the Southern dizuniOnists, are having a
wholesome effect These gentlemen dre be-
ginning to find that they cannot stand in the
presence OF the popular masses, and proclaim
with impunity their desires and purposes.
Seeing that the people will stand BY their
CORY. these leaders are lodging behind

MADE and % shield them from the just odium,
which attaches to even the slightest move

made frequent reference to the Montgomery

pie reason that its editor was a member o.
the League and we considered him, there

utterly uniastifed by anything Published in

sentiments Of those who conduct it''-that
the PATRIOT does it the grossest injustice,
aud its consciousness of the fact is shown by
its failure to publish such OF our articles as it
claims warrant It's conclusions'--an con.
cludes by begging its friends of the Breek-
inridge press. in Tennessee to republisb its
denial of the false and unwarrantcd charges
Of the Nashville PATRIOT One OF them in
this city has done so but We will not beg it
to republish this. We prefer to leave that to
its own sense OF justice.
Now, the matter about which the Hal is
so 'r''t is that we said il gives Us advice

IL DrsvId- for the consequences by reius-

This is what it calls false ana unwarranted. =
