the North are unlikely ever to secede

Slavery. Here is the real danger Of the

alternative thas if he be not accepted, the
Union will be at once endangered and

that another deliberate effort is about to

in the Territories, and secure the adHis-

game is hardly begun, and we shall not,
probably, hear much about it till the next
