realized and our predictions fulfilled.
| The speech is of course significant OF the
| policy 10 be pursued, aud think can con
hdently congratulate the people upon the GER
taiDty of speedy relief from military rule. Ii
| will be seen that the President places himself
with the South. he says we set up the Union
of the states against the institution of slavery
We selected the srbitrsment of the God Of
battles. That argument wrs the sword. The
Issue was fairly aud honorably met Both the
questions presented have bsen settled against us
and We are prepared to accept the issue
| This speech is tho death-knel OF the Radi-
| Gals. All that we of the South have now to do
10 to abide faithfully by the issues made and

who. although they cannot to-day command a
majority AZ home, they control that balance oil
power which with our aid, must crush the Radi

wse in or counssls faithfully executing all that
We have promised, and firmly contendng for al
that 10 ours.
Let the people rejoice; a brighter day is
coming. As we have said heretofore, we believe
that the President is an instrument welded by
Almighty hands to preserve our people from
aparchy aud distraction
The Jackson Nsws OF the l4th Gays.
We have received kilograms from Washing
ton which assure Us that our political course has
been sust aimed by the President. He upholds ,hs
freedom Of the press will not in any manner
favor any thing that tends to consolidation, and
will take the Constitution strictly as bis guide
| We predict that be will do all he can to sustain
the South in this hour OF trial, and regard
him to-day as an instrument in the hands of the
Almighty to secure tranquility TO eur people, and
insure to US the blessings OF liberty.
He is proving himself to be the represent itiv 9
of CONT tutionsl liberty. and no pressure, how
ever strong, will force him from the path Of right
and justice.
| He possesses one decided characteristic of
| greatness-power Of will-snd with il he will
crush down sll opposition to his policy With
all the lights before Us, we do not hesitate TO
ssy, as we have said before, that he ia our choice
Il Tor the next President. All that We ask Is a
Chief Magistrate who will not depart from the
