FIRM.

Certain of our Republican journals and leaders are
lust now advocating what il called the Border Stats
Compromise; and they are very severe upon those
who DO not seem willing to consent even 10 this.
These statesmen and journals are very profuse upon
what they call the ultra men Of the Republican party,
accusing them Of desiring to elevate the ago Plat
form above the Union Of the States and Of being 80
biyoted in their party feelings that they are unwilling
to ied anything for the sake OF peace and Union.
These are some Of the charges which are made BY
those Republicans who are 70 fearful of the destruction
of our glorious Conederacy, that they are anxious TO
give something away hest they should be accused Of
Stiffness and be blamed for not exhibiting Sufficiently
conciliatOry spirit. ..
But there is one question which those Republicans,
who he,itate about plnngng into the Border STATE
Compromise would desire 10 have definitely settled.
VIII the eo-called Border.State Proposition Of Mr.
Adams be Satisfactory Will it secure TO us single
Slave State viii il help those men in the Border
States who are opposed to secession low wodld
adoption of the adjustment proposed by the Border
state caucus, the States Of Virginia. and Kentucky,
and Tenne.see, and Missouri, refuse TO accept the
peace offering
We are compelled to listen every day 10 lngubrous
appeals from tnion sdutHg men and newspapers, not
to do or say anything that will be Promciive Of begin.
hing VIII with our Southern Brethren ana III every
place OF Republicans are met by men with eion'
gated eouDteDances and woebegone looks, who smile
and whine about the wckedness Of those who VIII per-
fist in standing up for principles for right for freedom
for the Union and the CONSTITUTION ~ our iners len
them to us and by such action hasten the commence
ment BY the Federal Government Of a war upon The
Southern people. Now if these men who are 30 anx
ious TO prevent the beginning OF war viii emily stoI
a momen: and think Of the real position Of things
they will find that they might as well themseve
from any concern about commencing war, as tbs
state Of things has existed since the day that Soutt
Carolina troops took possession OF the United STATED
arsenal AZ CbarestOn and that every seizure Of forts
Custom Houses. Mints, yessels-ofw war and United
States arms or other property since the 18th day u
last December, has been declaration OF war against
the United States.

Knocked and eered aud the scepter will have passed

The Republican party has for its principles the
maintenance OF the Constitution and laws and the e1'
clusion of Slavery from the Territories. Are they
right they wrong is the quest on. IL they are
right, let us firmly adhere TO our principles.

These are ous, vital questions TO the American
people. Oar future, a nation, depends upon the
decision we give them now. Let no one who Ia not a
coward and slave he-itlte Let us all rally around
the standard of the Unioo The Constitution, and the
Laws.
To any compromise which shall recognize Slavery "A

thing but the creature Of local law the people Of the
Free States unalterably opposed. They will moi
surrender their deep seated convictions upon these
points TO Peace, or any, other Congress. Upon the
institution of Slavery in the States which tolerate IT,
thew make no war; but when it oversteps these limits
il will encounter tLeir determined opposition. We had
suuposed that the sentiment OF the Free States upon
this point was too well UNDERWOOD TO be mistaken.
The Constitution and the Union as 1t il, and prompt
enforcement of the laws is what the people want. Ii
