Nullification and Disunion.

Colonel Jeff. Davis, in a speech delivered before a Democratic Convention in Mississippi, declared the Federal laws against the re-opening of: the slave trade as unconstitutional. He favors the withdrawal of our squadron from the coast of Africa, and annulling our treaty stipulations on the subject. He goes in, tooth and nail, for Cuba, and in the event of the election of a Republican to the Pjesiency, a dissolution of the Union. There seems to be a- remarkable agreement of opinion among the Southern Democratic leaders as to the propriety of stealing “niggers” from Africa and of stealing Cuba from Spain.
