act with most prudence in the presence
of danger, and to determine whether sue
cess will pay for the conflict. In these
points of immediate conflict they should be
the sole judges, for surely the States lying
SOuthwardly of the Barrier States should
not place the causes and the grounds of
revolution on ellis which can and do only
affect them remotely aud which do affect
the Barrier States, and those portions of
them, again, which are most clearly con-
vinced that the proposed redress Of the
evil will not justify the enormites of revo-
luton or mitigate the increased action of

from their mooring of comparative safety
by the eloquent tears or imaginary wrongs
of that State, whose loss by fugitives
from labor, from the time the Constitution
-Eas formed, would not pay for arming
and setting squadron in the field. This
is a practical evil, and it is certain that
not single one of the Barrier States,

or Missouri, acting on its own judgement

sion rs a legitimate principle, or deems
that the wrongs complained OF, fragrant
though they be, are so intolerable as TO
de 'and or justify revolution. These are
the States which must bear the brunt
when the fatal necessity arrives, of sacri-
fees i'll battle, and raids, and reprisNls, and
destruction of important interests, and in
tcrlacing relations of every kind. The
people should be permitted to see the prin-
Z ciplcs involved, and the facts upon which
they may soon be called upon to act, in
candid and honest statements of both;
but, instead of this, they are to be
lead by covert and insidious means to
abandon fright principle on Al wrong
