Is this .the time to quell the ; slavery agitation q We propose to answer this in the negative, ant prove our position. Under certain circumstance; the proposition to quell the agitation of the slaver; question, shall and ought to come from the SoutU And it is a remarkable fact that the proposition hit always come from the South, neut from the Norn ' AYe of the South have not mooted the questi ng it has been forced upon us unwillingly in a speeds tive or theoretical form.

And in the face ' of all this a proposition comes from the South, to quell the slavery agitation, and wherefore ? Simply because there 4s not any hope of redeeming the northern sentiment and making i t more national and conservative? AYhen has there been any movement made by northern men thaj would I justify the South in humiliating herself so much as to propose first, a let-a-lone policy f Have any concessions been made iby the north, that we should: cry out let us alone? Most certainly not but while we are suffering the debasement of allow ing northern men to invade our soil, and take the lives and property of our citizens, another blow is inflicted, and that by a North Carolinian. And he asks of the Sjutu at a time when the cr should be in the mouth of every Southern man. Settle the question now and forever whether we should henceforth be disturbed in our peaceful houses by Northern men under the sanction of the majority I of their people. Still, a Southerner begs the North ' to have pity and compassion upon the poor South. AYe Say, now is the time' to agitate! agitate!! until the conservative element of the North shall be brought fully over to the side of the South. There is a conservative element in the North; and if this question is kept before them they must and. will come over. The' following is, an extract from a letter addressed to tne uov. oi va. oy o. sr. inase, uov. oi wtiio, in reply to one from the former in reference to the existence of armed bands who were said' toTae ia . Ohio, with the avowed purpose of rescuing certain prisoners at Harper's Ferry. " After denying any knowledge of their existence he says : 1 j - I observe with regret an intimation In your letter that necessity may compel the authorities of Vir ginia to pursue invaders "of her-jurisdiction in the territories of adjoining States. It is to be hoped that no circumstances will; arise creating, in their opinion, such a necessity. Laws of the United States; as well, as the laws of Ohio, indicate the mode in which persons charged with crime in an other ctate and escaping into this, maybe d mantl ed and must be surrendered ; and the people of this State will require from her authorities the punctual fulfilment of every obligation to the other members of the Union J They cannot consent, however, to the invasion of her territories by armed bodies from other States, even for the purpose of pursuing and arresting fugitives from justice. . j 1 have the honor to be, . j Very respectfully, yours, j .
