This opiuion was couiitahanced in tlie
discussion of the Missouri question ; and
it has since become more plausible in coa
sequence ol the S. II. affair.
In conversations relative to the situa
tion of the South, I hear it frequently ie
deeed 1-Northerirmen tlnnfltir hiiidS
are tied by Ihse circumstances;'' w that the
dread of servile insurrections must crush
our omiositioii to the tariff.

dependent on the free states for the safety
of our homes and nretucif. just . long
may we expect that the tariff party will
turn a deaf ear to our remonstrances.

announced in our national debates : but
its operation, thouch silent, has been sure
