,ions aud words OF the Northern doughlaces,
who do and say oil 10 their power for the en-
coaragemen, OF traitors and promote the sue

test, a Northern President 80 acted as 10 In
duce South Carolina to seeedo and TO eau e
other States to follow her bad example. This
WAS an evil that 1t was thought could not be
surp ,ssed, but we have lived to SEQ it exceed
cd By tho conduct OF northern men oho do
not belong to the Presidents party and whose
vocies were formerly raised, in tcsson and
on, Of season, for the enforcement Of oil MA.
TtoSAL LAWS. maxim no exceptions whatever.
The platform a. well as the motto Of the Bell.
Everett party, in 1850. wss,--"The Union,
tbe constitution, and The enforcement Of the
laws" There was no reservation made
The Union was to be preserved as it is, the
constitution was TO be main aiued az II exsts,
and the laws that are were 10 be enforced.
Not word was said about allowing States TO
20 out Of the Union. or Of amending the con-
stitution, or Of repeating laws that were un-
pleasant TO this or that section, State or party.
Although laboring under the hallucinstion Of
Popular Sovereignty" the Douglas party
took substantially the same ground with ref
erence TO maintaining the constitution. And
when Douglas was questioned on this subject
at Norfolk, his loyalty TO this fair fabric,
consecia,ed by the blood Of our fathers"
knew no bounds. Now what has followed
all this parade Of lip.loyalty Why this !:
The Bell.Evero,ts aud Dousla'i,es now de
mand that we shall compromise away the
point upon which we w1n the election,
that the constitution shall be amended
and that the laws shall not be eniorcedl And
iithese demands are not complied with, we
are threatened with internal corA Ajcts in the
North, which is no idle threat in the mouths
Of men who have the means and the will to
get up mob' in our northern cities, and who
have already exercised their will and employ
ed their means to prevent freedom of dscus-
sion and though their action has hecn di.
rested principally against "aboli'ionists," we
know that it could be easily directed against
other mems rights.
But,say these parties. 1.-THE question now
is, will nineteen Northern free States say OF
do something TO the South which shall give
assurance TO them tha. our feeling toward,
them is frateraal, and not unfraternal--is
friendly and not hostile and whatever is
done must be done quickly" Ofcourse, the
remedy must be speedy and prompt, or Il ,
South mightnot be induced TO acceptit TIL,
advice OF these fervent champions of the unior
the constitution and the laws is, that we shoulC
do something TO soothe and satisfy the mel
who havs dissolved the Union, violated III,
constitution aud laughed the laws to scorn
And what's it that we have done thatIequire
us to 'say or do something" in hop, of con
ciliatirg disunionists ? We have elected
President Of the United States strictly accord
ing to the provisions of the constitution anC
the requirements of the laws Of The Union
We have chosen President after the sam
manner that Washington, md John Adams
and Thoma' Jefferson, and James Madison
and James Muuroe, and j. Q. Adams, an,
Andrew Jackson. and Martin Van Buren,, an,
w. II. Harrison, aud j. X. Polk and Zachar,
Taylor, and Franklia Pierce, and James Blu
ohanan. that is, we have elected him legal
ly, For this act we are ordered to get dow
On our knees, to admit that we have sinned
to allow that We have been guilty Of injustice
and to deplora the victorious parry in the fac
of the Law breakers, and at the command G
