We do not hesitate to say, that tha
Sou ill would be justified in resisting any
slid every advance rf abolitionism upon
the domain of her lights, if the (ieneral

and protect those rights. The first mo

whole world in cb-fen-e of their laws,
.lands uiujuest.oned and uiHiurbtionable.
litil here is '.he weak point of the South
in its ptesi tit iiiTt:ed attitude; for allho'
there bad for years existed in the North
'organised Land against her rights, which
urged an itica-sjni guerrilla warfare upon
her iiisUtniioiis and her peace, yet ihc
Federal Government had never proved
faithless to her. Though eveiy Northern
State, except iev Jersey, had trampled
the ccnstituiion and laws of the Union
under their feet, in violation nf the rights
of thus Stnles, still the Federal Govern
ment had remained firm und fuilhful in
ilie defe nse of those rights. , ; .
it is liu that a sectional party a party
of one idea, and that of hostility to them
had obtained the control of the govern
ment. It is true thnt this party, after
its triumph, declared that, lo use Mr, Se-
j aid's words, "this is the beginning of

If we have made, their hills red with their
blood," tticir valleys hre aho red with our
own. 'I ho business we are carrying on if,
"an e.e lor an eye, and a tooth lor a

of wisdom would descend upon the delu
ded people ol t lie South, ami put it into
their hearts to lav clown their
