Pennsylvania And The South
(Column 1)

Summary: The editors discuss one of the South's pretexts for secession-- nullification of the fugitive slave law, and they point out that Ohio is the only border state that stands guilty of passing liberty laws that nullify the F.S. law.

Important From Springfield, Ill.

The Southern Secession Movement
(Column 5)

Summary: Articles from three separate Southern papers--Fredericksburg (Va.) Recorder, Charlottesville (Va.) Review, and the Memphis Enquirer--all urging Southern states to stay in the Union for different reasons--a Democrat Congress, a simple demand for peace, and the question of whether secession could last any length of time.

The Future Of The North And South
(Column 4)

Summary: The editors suggest that one reason for the disunionists' cry of 'now or never' stems from the present Census' results which will probably reduce the number of electoral votes of Southern states, and increase the number in Northern states and territories-soon-to-be-states.

Cupidity
(Column 2)

Summary: A response to the South's accusation that the North is responsible in part for the existence of slavery in the South. The editors argue that slavery no longer exists in most Northern states, not due to Federal Gov't interference, but because each state decided to outlaw it.

Congress
(Column 3)

Mr. Secretary Cobb Not So Bad Once As He Now Is
