assaili-d Sjtith will be aura to follow the exam
ple of the asaailitig North. The want of ordi
nary national comity and courtesy, in many
of the States of the North, in denying to Sontb-
' erners, w ith their slaves, a secure passage through
; their tomtoriea, will keep up irritation, and, if
persevered in, end in dt.unton. The .Nortber
i intervention in the domestic affairs of Kansas,
will provoke like intervention by the South, and
w hat begins as a domestic feud may end as a
sectional and a civil war. Conservatives of the
North and of the South, must look to these
things and search for a remedy. Massachusetts,
if she retain one spark of her olden spirit and
her olden character, must be tired and disgusted
with the doings of the Hiss Legislature. 8b

I with "Ikv' 1,0 voMoa of the letter of
the Constitution, but it grossly violate it spirit,
for it is not calculated to form " a more perfect
Union," but rather in time to disrupt the exist

-fiy-to the- adrantirgeof trier .-North-- to grant
those privileges, for they would thereby greatly
j em ourage trade and travel from liter South, A
' matter of courtesy and comity, It a equally

that its patience under injury will be imputed
to cowardice. We of the South can afford to

uf , returning sense of justice at the North.
