from the letters he has received, that if

Ii they do not, he will denounce them.
But the endorsement of any book-no
matter what its character-by 68 or $500
men. is no cause for surrendering the
Union. If the Union, however, is no

He would use the appellstion Demo

the party in power, now seeking to break
up the Union. The masses only execute
the work cut out for them.
BIRDS EYE VIEW.
MIR. Bolts next gives 8 mastery birds
eye view of tine policy pursued by the
party that calls itself Democratic, show
ing clearly that Aaron Burr was its foun-
der, and not Thomas Jefferson, and
brings it down to the present time.
THE DIsoRGAEIzIxG DEMOCRACY.
The pretence that it is the protection
Of slavery that animstes the course of the
Administration in refusing to organize
the House. is proven by Mr.. Bolts to be
utterly false. By their refusal to go for
Gilmer, they have shown that it is pow
er and place and spoils that they are af-
ter. not the protection of slavery, which
Mr.. Bolts shows is in no danger what
ever.
WIND MILLS.
The proposition to pst Virgins upon
a military footing. to establish armories
and all that, are shown to be so many
wind mills Of the cracked brains that
have devised them, and are ridiculed to
the top Of his bent.
PERPETUIrY OF THE UNION.
The man who talks of dissolving the
Union. is shown by Mr.. Bolts to be an
ignoramus. 1t was made to be perpetu-
al, and perpetual it will be of necessity.
Its founders provided for its perpetuation,
and omitted to provide for its dissolution.
His argument Oh this point is irresistible.
We may reproduce it on some future &C.
cssion. He says, if Virgins should vote
to withdraw, Maryland might vote to stay
in.
THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Mr.. Bolts declares that there are not
Democrats enough alive to strip him of
Ms birthright as an American citizen !;
that where the Stars and Stripes float,
there he will be found, and that no power
on earth can carry him out of this Un-
ion. Even if Congress were to break up
in row, Mr.. Bolts contends, it would
not affect the Union. And even if the
Democrats should all withdraw in body,
quorum would still be left for legisla-
tive purposes Mr.. Bolts says that no
body ever suspected the Opposition of
such folly. Not as body, but he must
know that this idea has been preached
BY some of the South Americans, who
had got so far South of the Locofocos as
to become more disunionist than even
Mr.. Iverson. But We are glad they have
returned to their first love once more.
ELIMINATION AND Reformation.
Mr.. Bolts excerpts to the legislation in
the free States, hostile to the recovery of
fugitive slaves, but he does not think that
this hostility is any Justification for the
preparation Of the joke offering reward
for the heads Of prominent members OF
the Republican party, originally publish
ed in the Richmond papers. He is against
ill elimination and rscrimination. The
recent lynching of Northern people in the
South, he condemns in all their length
and breadth. -.
HOME INDUSTRY.
He deals Democracy terrible blow
for its free-trade policy, and calls on
Virginia to vote for the adoption Of MIR.
Clay's American system of protection to
Home Industry, and then, and not TIL
then, win Virginia be able to cope with
the manufacturing States of the Union.
This point is admirably put.
SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES.
Mr.. Bolts, in conclusion, is opposed to
carrying slavery into free Territories BY
national legislation or by force of arms.
In this particular he adopts Mr.. Clays
doctrine to the very letter. He calls on
the Opposition party in the South to raj
ly on this great principle, against the
might mare politicians" who repealed
the Compounds of 1920. and inaugura-
ted the policy 1854. vsdt
CHARACTER OF THE LETTER.
There is, says the Patriot, from which
we take the above synopsis of the letter.
no public man in the United States who
yields more logical and smoother pen
than Mr.. Bolts, bat much as we admire
his general style of public speaking and
writing. we think he has exceeded him
self in his admirable Letter. Il abounds
in sarcasm, wit, genuine patriotism. hard
sense. eloquenee, unanswerAble logic 1t

we say this, we do not thiAk We can say
more in its praise.
