Mr.. Wilson evidently looks beyond the present
moment, and represents class which, we are
happy to way, seems the holder. Ihoy speak
with the earnestness Of men who have truth on
their side and feel that they are strong, and with
sometimes even dim consciousness Of whittier

taxation question viii be yielded if they will ao-
cede TO Secession does not move them. 1t is Q
good thing now to settle this unjust distribution
hereafter. Not even does there seem to BIO much
alarm created by such whispered cautions as
these, uttered by Mr. Caperton, who begs that

Even this prediction that, if delegates are not
careful Of what they are about it will be impos-
sibe to frisbten the North into belief that the
Border States will abandon her, and so induce
compliance with the Compromises demanded,
seems to produce no startling effect. The sdVo-
Gates Of equal taxation are too much in earnest
