the coming President perpetrate any &C,
hostile to the South. or violate. or impair
the rights of any citizen or state. for which
the Constitution and laws shall fail to pro.
vide adequate and sufficient remedies, thu
time will then have come for those who
think the constitution has been disregsried
and the Federal power perverted. to consul,
and deliberate on the nature and mode OF
redress. Mr.. Douglas says that there being
a democratic majority in both houses, nc

turbisg the rights or institutions of the
south. unless portion of the southern
senators and representatives absent them
selves so as to give republican majority in
consequence Of their absence.
