IL is the conduct Of these men and
presses which has done as much to iRvOlvG
our country in its present difficulties as
the action Of Southern rebels; and the
traitOrOus language Of the Boston Ei6erG
tor every week-Of Phillips, whenever be
speaks, and Of Sumner aud all others oil

dem0Falizing, and tends rs directly to in.

constant insult 70 the Government of the
country, IN Infamous libel on the achiev-

daring and insolent invitation and encour-
agement to the seditiOn which is now
cursing our land with misery, depressing
il with sOnow. We were told by this
class Of men, when the consequences Of
their conduct were predicted many years
ago, that the Union was in no danger
civil conflict was impOSSible-the first in.

social intercourse between the states and
the reciprocity Of trade were mere baga.

was worthy Of cOnsideTation-thati il was
our duty TO regulate the domestic institu-

our companions were the subjects which
lay upon our cOnscienceS, not our own
shortc0mings-we had but to revile our

and secure . political millennium. These
were the promises made by those whose
action has been one Of the principal caus.

our peaceful hills with armed men, our
fertile valleys with the weapons Of death,
