In the present condition. of things, sozens

i beg you To give.no heed whatever to this
kind of canfaronGde, which is,estimated here
at its real wortl. On the contrary; you.may
depend omit, that right minded persons gene.
rally, who have some sense left Of 4righ, and
justice, would be astonishcd if your eminent
men were less bold and outspoken than they
are. The, crisis demands it-and in that cri
SIS the fate Of other sections Of the country
is involved, not less than your own.
Strange indeed wouldlit he, if people,
ever jealous of their liberties, and not willing
to give them mp. should, whilst cndeuporiiig

We have no fears Of any other than u fiivora'

appeal to you at ALL ask you to be Of good
heart. We shall beattbe Radicals Wres-

as they may, to such a,state must they come
at last. The entire "land Of Washington"
demands relief from the dictalion and exnc-
tions of these men, and is determined TO have
it. As pledge Of this, I may point you TO
our Ratification meetings North and West,
which clearly Indicate the Triumph that is to
send joy throughout the South also, aud pres
emily, secure for us all, one destiny, and one
common country.
With renewed aud grateful recollections Of
