Within the. .lasi few monthis, there has
Ifreon exhibited, a:noti the non-slave
r liodinigStates of this confederacy a settled
d hostility to the inistitutions of the slave
holdinig States, well calculated to alarm
them for. their safety and security, and to
arrest the serious aitentiont of patriotic cit
izens, from every section of the coutntry,
g who feel a sincere desire for the harnotny
i- of the States and the stability of the
s, UNION. This sent imnenatof hostility has
i- n'ot been confined, as for a long time it
0 seemed to be, to the violent expressions of
a irresponisible popular mneetinigs, fur the
h single, but wicked plurpose of agitattion,
5 nor to- the free and o1flsive p~ublications
e from presses established by blind and
a restless fainatics. It lies assumed a more
n deliberate atnd determined form, evinicitng
Sthe desigtn of sovereign commonwealths,
>f and of Congress itself, to interfere with
e the inistitu-tioni of slavery as it. was recog
e nized and secured under the guaranties of
n the federal compact, or ,as it has beetn, for
-a long time allowed to exist under amica
-ble compromises, that were thought, at the
-. time they were entered into, to be sacred
t and inviolable.

a Thie propouition involved- in that proviso,
, is nothing mnore nor less thatn this, that all
'the territory that may be acquired under a
treaty with Mexico, and which it is-as
r sumed will be acquired at the termiinatioin
e of the war, is to he set apart for the use
,and settlement of the noti-slaveholding
r portion of the confeduieracy, to the exclusioni
s of the'South. In other terms, thiat terri
'tory that shall be obtained by joint exer
ti tionts-and contributions, is to be parcelled
d off~ to one set of inihabit ants to the exclusioni
t of another .class; This discrimination
I, evinces a preference for one. class by pre

This organ, of -a strong party opposed to
slavery. serves the -ppdrpose of controlling
the movements of another class,- who are
opposed to thie poilical power. of slave
holders, .This-laper holds up for constn
ing censure- as well the public men.of ie
South, who may dare to vindicate the
rights of slaveholders, as the statesmen of
the North, who may manifest any scruples
upon the propriety or constitutional com.;
petency, of interfering with the institution
of slavery. Formerly, the movemedis and
conduct of the Abolitionists could he treat
ed.by statesmen, of all sections, with ne
glect or contempt. It is not so now. In
the non-slaveholding Statets, no public man
can be found, no matter what may be -his
opinions, who can lift himself abovetthe.
influence of this increasing, and.' )erhaps
controlling power. The obvious-tendency
and avowed design of the sentiments and
measures referrod to, are to give .tozthe
non-slaveholding State-s unlimited progres
sin in the nequisition of territory, and in
crease of political power, whilst the slave
holding portion of the confederacy is to re
main stationary, until a doomed ruin, de
liberatejy devised and prepared, shall burst
upon them without ihe power ofresistance.
It is to subject one body in a fixed and
quiet position, to the collision of a stronger
body, put in accelerated motion agaidst it.
it is subjecting the -fate of slaveholders to
the insulting interference. and-hostile. ag
gression of those, who, having the feelings
ofjealous rivals, assume the office of arro
gant guardians. Whatever may be the
opinion of the slaveholding States, nowv or
hereafter, concerning the policy of holding
slaves. they will. have no discretion loft,.
but will be- reduced to the conadition of
abandoning thu use of - their propertyi.or
holding it in-ignomninious -subserviency - to
the dictation.of.others.; In effecL they are:

Congressno maore than the power of a
trustee to ho-Id such territory for the joint
useof all the ownters, with no right to ex
elude some for the beneflt if others, but to
hold it for the benefit of such as .'na~y choose
to sett le it for the purpose of selfgoveirnmient
under 1-he organization of a State Couistitu'
t0o. Such a discrimitation as is contend
ed fo, is not oaly insulting to tme feelings
of the States,- whose rights and privileges
are to be abrogated, but is in Viniation of
the pervading spirit of the Consiiulion it
self, which was originally formed by equals
andI was framed with- guarantees for the se
curity and protection of all thme parties to
it. If the Southern States had never en
tered into the Federal Union, as confede&
rates,-and it would be treason to suppose
that they entered into such union except
as equal confederates, they would have
had an right to enjoy atnd use their property
and pieculiar institutions,- withot the ino
lestation of any power on earth, anid could1
have treated all such interferencee, as all
hos:.ile aggressiods should be' treated by
free and soveteign Statues.
All the powers not delegated by Congress
were as much reserved, as if no union had
been formedd-. Yet it is through Congress
we are to be debased and disfranchised of
our rights. The derivative governtment
which the Siates agreed to establish for the
greater seecutity of their rights would thus
become, indeed it is'l'apidly becoming, a
treacherous vehiiclE offitisult, and a terrible
engine of oppressionn-to- some of the -sove
reign framers. These are supporting a
governamenit that is continually devising
nmeasures for their ruitn. Instead aif actidg
the part of a paternal guardiad,. the gov
ernent is about to convert itself into the
character of a jealous and partra! step-mo
thmer,- who will exclude one porti ofofthe
household from the enjoyment of the comn
moat patrimoiny,'by setting it apdft for sue6
