Northern SubServiency and Southern
Dictation.
Those who have for years past carefully
watched the progress OF Iegislationin Congress,
cannot have failed to notice with What CONSUME
mate ingenuity and wonderful sHrt cSs the
Southern members of the confcderacy have
managed their " card" In all the great polit
ical movements of the age, thcH have made the
subject Of Slavery and the ascendency Of South
ern principles, paramount to all other cues
tiors. When necessary 10 the sEccess Of these,
political rrcjudices aid party favoritcs have
been sacrificed without scluple. In the midst
of the most violent ard bitter contests, they
have not fcrgottcn the end which they Lave
aimed at, but have remained as faithful as the
magnet to the rolc-star. Would that Northern
men had been as true to their interests, and to
the great interests of freedom, and humanity
What New Highlander who is familiar with the
history Of the puritans, from the days of Crom-
we'll and Standish to the time of Warren and
Green, will not blush to see how their descend
ants have been out generated by the progeny
OF the sycophantic race of cavaliers: Shame!
that in the land of Plymouth Rock and Bun
ker Hill men can be found who will sell Ma
tional Honor, Liberty, and Justice, for the
miserable baublcs Of Office!
The blindness O! the North iii contrast with the
keen- ghtedntSs of the South, should also be a
matter of establishment and chagrin. Recent
occurrences have brought the subject fresh to
our mind The vast territory OF Iowa. as Is vel
known, is settled mainly by New Englanders -
men who ought to possess intelligence as well
as integrity. The new state Constitution, re-
Gently adopted by the citizens Of that territory
provides fer her admission inc the Union as a
single State, FOREVER Observation-Disclosures
there is land enough within her borders to carve
out half-a-dozen ordinary sized States. Had the
citizens of Iowa acted with the re-thought
which characterizes the men of the South in
similar important movements, they would have
adopted aconsitutioh with the" Single State"
clause omitted. Put this is characteristic of
the North.
LIE, us look towards the tropics The Hous-
ton (Texas) Telegraph refers to proposition
now on foot to dtuide Teas into t,co States
acithout delay the BRACES to be the dividing line
between them. The Telegraph further states
that members Of Congress requested the Sena-
ors from Texas, during the recent session to in
troduce bill into Congress for the purpose of
dividing the country into two States.
This, remarks the Louisville Journal, is going
rather farther than the Northern contracting
parties in the Texas business agreed to--and we
are greatly mistaken if any such division of
Texas into two States would be authorized by
Congress at this early period. Al the last cleo
tion in Texas, little over thirteen thousand
votes were pollcd, and Of these thirteen thous-
and voters, Ga little ever l-4th of the voters
in New York city, are now rcprcscntedin the
councils ofthe United States by two Senators
and one Representative. That wretcEed State
has power enough already in our Government
Locofoco Tariff was fastened on the country.
Considering the number of voters in Texas,
we regard it as presumotuous beyond all pre-
cedent, 10 talk of making two States cut Of the
country. One State ofthis sort is quite enough
in all conscience. When the proposition to
make another state is introduced into Congress
we think, and our opinion is founded on recent
unmistakeable developed inathe2 Northern and
Western States, that large number OF the
Locofocos who voted for the admission Of one
State of Texas, will vote agains, any more bless
ings ofthat kind. The North will not vote in
favor of placing the control Of the legislation OF
the country permanently inthe hands of South
ern politicians, The generous Northern and
Western Democracy are sick Of that kind ofcon-
troll already. Nine. tenhs ofthe locoioco papers
North Of Mason and Dixon?s line are bitterly
protesting against the controlling nhue nee O,
tue S'o'h' and under such auspices, to talk OF
adding another State inTexas for no other our.
pose Than I" increase tha,iniucnce in Congress
isto talk of animpossible achievement.
