This apprehension (I have endeavored to show ) can only become serious, in case the .North shall refuse justice to the fc'outh. If ; the constitutional rights of the South be set | at untight?if her security be disregarded?if a sectional party take, possession of the government and deliver up the South, without any constitutional protection, to the combined hatred of fanaticism and faction, then the I'liion becomes an instrument of t.vrmniv. <>n.1 . , -J J ?

In that case truly the apprehension of Disunion from a Conferenco would ho just. 1 Jut if, as many iu Virginia buliove, tliero is fraternal fooling enough existing at.tlio North, to stay the tide of fanaticism,'and do jiutico to the South, then the apprehension of Disunion from a Confercncc is without foundation. On the contrary a Conference becomes in fact the very host instrument to assist the supposed fraternal feeling of the North. It would bring to its aid the united action of the South, and by presenting a bold and maply front, would compel the adversary to respect their rights and yield to their demands.
