LET THE SOUTH BE UNITED !
Great and alarming ddngerU

If the proceedings of the Democratic Legis-
lat,frs Of New York, which we give be-
low. evince the character and intentions Of
+" Northern men with Southern principles, )" up
on the subject OF Abolition, 1t is time that the
South and West rally zen massen in defence of
their rights. 1t is stated that Mr.. Van Buren,
himself was in Albany at the, time Of the pas
sage of the subjoned resolutions. With a ma
iori,y of 20 in the House Of Representatives, a
two-thrds Democratic majority, the subject of
the Dist rule has been left in the worst possible
position for the rights and interests ofhe Save
holding States. The rule was first abolished in
obedience to the dark spirit of AboIltionsm, by
majority Of twenty and at crwards by mere
party ssnnuvrc, which escaped a direct vote
on the question, the rule was sustained by one
vote. The hopes Of the Abolition are thus
encouraged, and rhey have still an ex-
cuse for their fanatcal action on the sub
jeci. The Southern States have here
toforc supposed that they might rely up
on the Northern Democracy for aid, when
their feelings should be insued and their rights
auacked. 1t seems, however, that the Southern
States have reckoned without their host. The
Democratic Legislature Of New York cries

On the LIST, 50 900 were gathered in Philadelphia
Daniel Webster was the principal speaker and

without yitiating the whole agreements and
if this view be his, as we are warranted in
saying--then so long as single State oppo-
ses it, Texas cannot be ours. Five States
have almost unanimously, in their State ca
pacty, protested against the unholy project.
SO long then, as ihey--as one of the small
est States is against it-she cannot by Mr.
Claws consent come in. So long then, as
you are true to the great principles OF 1916
so long as you remain worthy descendants
Of the Pilgrim sires--so long as the vestal
fame of Liberty burns in your bosoms,
eternal and unextinguishable--so long is Mr.
Clay, three several times in the most solemn
manner before the nation, and all mankind,
irrevocably bound to oppose the annexation
ofTexas to these United States. Oh, then
nv countrymen be persuaded TO trample
under foot prejudice and party rule, and
quietly and conscientously review the whole
ground then look to your country and to
God, and do your duty, now in November,
1914, before it is forever too late
Be not deIuded by the enemies OF all lib
ertv. who. under the honied name of democ-
racy would reduce you to perpetual serv-
iude. Do not suppose that you are doing
opposing Mr. Clay. OF all men now present,
have the greatest cause to take care that
am not deceived in this matter. | can go
say it before God and man-with good
conscience for him, because believe it will
save my country from ruin, if we shall Sc
cure his election. The blood Of all those
who, in all ages, have gone up TO the scat
fold and the lannon's mouth, in defence OF
the true and the right, calls on us tonight
Remember the mighty agony, the voiceless
woe, Of the generous and brave hearts who
have persisted in the cause of human libcr-
~. Oh. be faithful to this last hope of free
dom among men-let our battle cry be lib
erty. and unon-God and the right. If we
triumph, mankind will rejoice in our sue
cess; If we fail, then all that is worthy to
stand, the noblest aspirations of the soul, the
desire of glory and Immortality, shall fall
i with US, and be known no more forever.
