The Dinghies Humbug.
Rnt a few nintiths since, the organization of the
Territories with the Wilmot Pr.ociso, or the admix-
sion ofCalllomin, with leer constiintionhnnd• txtnir
dories at a free Stole : were to produce In instint
ilisf.olution oldie Union. The. former. the SAM
arrangod to snit ternselves—but o n the admission of
the latter the Northern dongltfaces could .find_no
excuse to betrayal of their constituents, andstele
obliged to vote for her, an our " gokleto-haired Itis
ter"—(to alter Mr. Dickinson's simile'—,came
into the Union, with scarcely a rimeee on the part
ofilie Southern members who had breathed suit)
terrible threatnings and aggored such dire &asters,
when the died should be consummated.
Having thus arranged

a law kir the recovery of Fr4acirms •tare.,` i t s
stringent a. Southern ingennity' , could devise—the
cry that the North were outraging their rightb has
become sale, and the issoe is now narrowed to A
very small point. It is proclaimed that any altera
tion of the Fugitive Slave Law is to produce an in-
stant dissolution of the Unillut. The fact is, those
who were the most *tire it; getting up a Drsunirm
cry at the oath, were the l'rst to turn about and
leave their associates in- the torch, when they fould,
the people of the South were not disposed to bring
about an event so much to be lamented. The re
rent.elections South, show that th e party le
largely in th e ascendancy , that the most of South-
em men are patriotic at heart, and willing to make
as many sacrifices for our common country, as any
part of the Union. -
If the feeling of the North could be truly repre
sented to the South—if they could view the pulsa
tion of the Northern heart—without the distortion
and l a t i iity of Northern demagogues, our Southern
brethren would not feel like rupturing the traiernal
