secession sentiments can be seen by the following
quotations:

they can do better out ofthe Union than IN Il, se
insist on letting them go ia peace The right To
seeeie may be a revolutionary one but Il exists
nevertheless.
We must ever resist the right of any Stat. to
remain in the Union and nulIify or defy the laws
thereof. To withdraw from the Union is quite
another matter: and whenever a considerable
ton Of our Union shall deliberately resolve TO 20

1850
Ii the cotton States uuitedly and earnestly
wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union, We
think they should aud would be allowed 10 do so.
Any attempt 30 compel them BY force TO remain

just; and that, If the slave States, the cotton

Independents nation. they have clear moral right
to do so.
Whenever il saall be clear that the great body
of the Southern people have become concIusively
alienated from the Union, and anxious to escape
from it, we will do our best to forward their
views.-Nsp York Tribune. February %, 1851.
THE CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL.
This paper is lavish in its charges of disloyalty
upon Democrats. Its secession sentiments art
fully exposed in the following extracts from lis
editorials at different dates last year:

be unwise and deplorable. There is no province
in the world, conquered and held by military
force, that is not a weakness to it, master
The history of the world certainly proves that
1t Is not Profitable to govern people without
their consent
THE logical lesson of this fact i'm this coun-
try is, that il there are two nations here wh1
have been living in an unnatural Union. the,

is room for several hourishng nations on thi,
