Leading South Carolinians, who are bent on
thePerpstuation of Slavery, have determined to
establish paper at Washington for the special
purpose Of securing this object.
We are glad Of this. 1t shows, that they
have concluded to resort to argument, and 70.
meet tho "crises" by logic, and not by vio-
lence or denunciation. There Is no reason why
Slavery should not be calmly and fully discussed
everywhere, and when this is done, all harsh
ness and vituperation will die out, and reason be
left free to combat error and sustain the
right.
Ii is very evident, from the cireuIGr Of the
distinguished movers in this matter, that they
ds,rust both parties, and the organs Of both.
Indeed they say so, and declare the National
Ia,elligencer, as the mouth piece of the Wings,
aud the Union the leading paper Of the
Democrats, unfit or unable to defend the
South. We quote part of their circular:
We have, in the South, papers Of both par
ties worthy of all confidence, but these are but
little read elsewhere; and there is no one of
| them Of very general circulation, even in the
Southern States; and we have not one paper In
a non slave- holding State, and none in the city
| of Washington, which, in this emergency, has
proved fast and fearless friend; not one which
habitually reflects the public sentiment Of the
South on this question. The Intelligencer
blnks the question; the Union rebukes equally
the spirit of Abolition, and the spirit which re-
sists its aggressions; and with oil, except the
Aboltionisis themselves, party success, with It's
triumph and its spOils, is the absorbing, II moi
| the sole consideration.
| The object Of this communication is TO OBJ
tain your aid and active cooperation, in estab-
fishing at Washington, paper which shall rep
| resent Southern views on the subject Of SLAVERY
Southern views of Southern rights and inter-
ests, growing out Of and connected with Its in
stitution.
We want paper whose polar star shall be the
sentiment, "that danger to our institutions car
only be averted by jealousy watching our rights
under the Constitution; by insisting upon the
proporiionate influence intended to be secured
| 10 US by the compromises Of that compact and
above all, by maintaining, at all times, and at al
hazards, our equality, full and complete, with
| whatever other communities we hold connec-
ton We wish a paper which We can trust
firm and fearless, which cannot be bribed
caoled, flattered, frightened, into furing, fol
an instant, the Banner Of Southern Equality.
To effect this, We must render the press free
from party influences, and unite in ITS support
others besides politicians. We would therefore
desire to engage in the undertaking men In
every way independeni, and whose means anG
positions are such as free them from all tempta-
lions of profit or place.
If yol concur in our views, please confer
with us, as soon practicable; and inform us
what amount in money you are willing. your
self, to contribute to effect this object, and how
much YOU think can be raised in your immediate
neighborhood
