was received prevents giving than brief obi
toral notice OF its publication, and
tended comments for future number OF tho Advertiser
The address is artfuly worded evidently the production
Of some more skful pen than that welded by the rail
splitter but its dnimus must be evident to the most
careless observer. 1t commences by insulting
auson to what deemed the unreasonable conduct Of
the se0ng States II says that the Union is uubroken
and TIN laws must be enforced, and 1t war,
war, and nothing less than will satisfy the
abolition chief And If blood nothing but blood, Mr.
Lincoln will have why then In Gods name, trusting
that Providence that has yet withheld protecting
hand from the Of right and Of Justice relying for
human aid upon the bravery o. people, boundess
resources, the military skill of commander
the prudence OF our statesmen let with one accord
Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs OF war.
We have fears Of the result The greatest soldier
OF America will lead to the conflict the wises states
men that have illustrated the history Of American poll
tics will guard the country the daughters Of the South
will cheer US on to victory the II the Sou have
