tbc clflp-trnP arguments used in these National
Cooventiona to deceive.(he Soutli, and hence,*
he said, arose his insuperable oBjeetjdfife to all
National Conventions.
But he rejoiced t<f k- ow that the North
has been made to show their hand upon the
great question of equal rights and e(i?jal protection
in tly? Territories. That the veil of
hypocrisy has b^eiKtorp from them, and they
now stand before a^ insulted and outraged
South in all their hideott* deformity. They
deceived the South four years ago at Cincinnati,
when-they palmed on the South the Cincinnati

every sliado of politicals opinion entertained
by the Northern Democracy. But lie^rcjoiced
to know thai" wo'Kilid men from the cotton
States who had the courage^o unmask these
political tricksters, these 8pdil4-p$?tizan8, and
| expose the treachery tliat^pob goiug to be
practised a -ain upon the South s that tlicy had
taken their rights and th'eir Ijonoif out of the
keeping of this tyrant parly, and assumed tothemselves
its guardianship and protection.?
This is where o^r rights ought,to remain?in
the safe keeping of our own people, and not in
the uanos 01 a party whose majorities are our
deadHfect foes.
Now, saijd lie, is the time, the propitious moment
wheri it behooves eVery citizen of the
Slate, without respefct to partyotf party differ
ences, to oome forward and sustain the action
of tlie seceding States, with a heart v approval of
icell done. A rightstep has now been taken in
tho right direction, ah J Iet,ua not be turned
neither to the Tight nor to vtB*;il? ft by tiio seductive
offers that may hereitlfter be held out
by tbfe non-slaveliolding States,. ArSouthern
organization had been effected; upon a Constitutionaland
unequivocal platform, upon which
no Squatter Sovereign can s'and. We care not

we should stand shoulder to shoulder.until we
had Qbtnined ourri?bU.in the Unioa' if possible,
or out of it, if uee'd be.
We bpiV^beten invited by Ibe seceding States
to aenVl Delegates to a Convention to b<? held
in R.if^Tnqnd on the second Monday in June
next. This invitation docs not come from the
Squatter Sovereign Convention, nor from any
doubtful source, but it comes from the speeding
Southern States with a plnlforiii-'containing
principles previoutly laid down, *ud unequivocal
in their import, and one up^W^V&fibh, not
