himself to all who know him. by the delicacy I
of his fooling, his modest demeanor and high- 1

arc more than -vglit companies beside in the

f>lutc is likely to make ji great movement, like
this, alone. My suggestion is, tlial (lie South
stand tip a.? <<ue man in defence of her rights in <
the t tiiou, having for her first great object the I
control of the Democratic |>urty. Jtut it that ,
party shall refuse to btaud with us, then will it
become necessary that we lake our own position !
ns a section. If our whole people. Democrats,
Whigs and Know Nothings, will lay aside their
ditferunees and unite tor this work?if wo shall
rosolvo together to avoid nil distracting issues
new or old; we can then make the democratiu (
party of the country feel that we intend to have ,
our rights in the I'nion or out of it; and then j
there may be hope. Hut. failing in this, what
mi'juiu it*.- uu ; oiiiiki si in nn i navo tliecliains

of tlio slave States at every hazard. We
have tlio example of the Old Thirteen to cbcer I
us. in the. history of their movement towimls I
tlie war of the llevolution. 'J'liut movement was '
not a simultaneous one ; and so inay ours not ;
lie. Like them, some two or more of the slave \
States nifty be compelled to take the lead ; and '
like them, all the rest will follow and cotisumate !
the great achievement, lint in the initiation of '
such a movement, there are two or three steps j
it will be right in us to take. First, let us drop ,
the existing Compact. Secondly, let us form a |
new Compact with new guards for onr safety '

The pursuit lasted for abou two miles,
over broken and hilly ground, until the In- \
