The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-09-03

difficult task OF obtaining possession of that country and
of ad justng the terms which it to be admitted
we were upon another theatre, when had the msior
tune differ with the respected editor of the Post We
are not at all astonshed therefore, that we do
with at the present time. But without entering further
upon this point, content ourselves with repubshng
the following remarks:
From the Richmond Enquirer Jan. 81
:. Strike, but Heart"
That the New York Evening Post should condemn MIR
Milton Browns resolution " gross outrage Jas great
er any which has been perpetraed since the lorna
ton Of the governncnt"-is not surprising We might
expected it from the peiudices which 1t has almost
uniformly expressed whenever the domestic institutions of
the south directly indirectly concerned 1t is pleased
TO that all the States which lie south OF Boy deg will
be slave States when the Post knows, that by the very
terms of the resolution, such States may be formed
out of that portion of said territory lying south of 80 deg
30 min north latitude commonly known the Missouri
compromise line shall be admitted into the Union 'oih
or ,ctout slavery, the people of each State asking
admission may desire" AMI it knows, too the New
York Morning News itself states, that this portion oil
the territory is necessarily doomed TO slavery that
the climate OF the upper portion of il is suitable
whites than the blacks and the New York News
admits from this and other considerations the discretionary
provision, therefore, comparatively OF little Pfacucal I'M
Ii knows too that by the of the
ouon in such State States shall be formed out OF
the said territory NORTH of said Missouri compromise line,
oil
prohibited 1t knows that by the terms OF the Missouri
com the sweep of territory lying north of
36h degrees entirely given to The citizens OF the
free States.
Where then, is the mighty Outrage of which the Post
mplans We take it for granted, that by the and
spirit federal constitution, the States of the south
(and west much entitled participation in the
benefits of the federal government sister States of
the north If it is unequal partnership, and
the sooner take stand and amend it, the better
Iii be any benefit throw ST our plus slave popua
ton and lessen its pressure and give the OPP
potunty ofabrdgng, perhaps ESTABLISHING it, have the
rig claim the use OF certain portion OF the
ritoy this purpose 1t part of scheme multiply
the number of slaves in the Union The acquisition Of Texas
will add one 1t will only throw them off from the
James river the Sabine Perhaps may the
number by vgant exercise OF the federal author
ty excluding the imported slaves of Africa the West
Indies Why should brethren OF the north appre
bend the increase OF few more slavehoding States We
change the balance OF the government The ec
States have the power this time, and they will always
preserve it. They will have much territory of
which their States than we shall have. The i'm
territory which lies north of 36s sweeps the Pa
chc ocean, and Mr.. Yancey says in late letter the
Tammany Society OF the city of New York, s. the Nj is
souri, compromise 10 the free States region
above 36s dogs. which, extending west, and including
Oregon, is capable of making twenty-six States
while south of w. when admit Florida, shut
from further extension of slave States and yet talk is
kept up fghten northern fher about the
enormous preponderance which annexation would give
the SOUTH" How then stands Ihe and the justice and
reciprocity OF the arrangement! We have allowed the free
States the full benefit of the Missouri compromise, which
gave them than their full share territory; and
whenwe claim only portion south of 36t degrees the
aboiiionists make about slavery. We are to be
tod by liberal press that is the greatest outrage
which has been perpeated since the formation the
government $50 says the Post and must yield
the lion his share OF the territory south of the Missouri line
l. this claim calculated to allow a common share OF the
blessings of the federal government Ay than this
We claim part OF the land OF northern brethren and
willing to share the lands south of 36i with them if
the people please to occupy the territory, and ask
admission into the Union Invested OF slavery. We must
beg leave remind infatuated brethren that may
be such thing drawing the cord too tight he comfor
taby and quietly borne.
