The SOUTHERN PREss-Thcre is the raw
material for very excellent and instructive
sermon in the following paragraphs which we
clip from two coumned article of the Souh-
ern Press" We have not time to preach Icing
about it, but we call the attention of the people
of Ohio to the following observations:
The evil does not stop even there. The
South is slaveholding, and the subordination of
the slave depends on the moral prestige Of the
master. Let it be known, as it must be known
too to slaves, that in crest struggle for their
rights, the master race of the South has surren-
dered, or been overcome by large section of
people, and account of their hostility to slave
ry, and the safety Of the Southern firesidcs, can
no longer be relied on Nay, more than that
the sense of equality and Of power to maintain
it, IS Indispensable, even to the manners Of
people. Let Southern men surrender now to
power, and the consciousness of their degradn-
ton will make them hang their heads in each
others presence, and even in the presence of
their wives. Southern honor and courage will
become by-words of reproach, and the resolu-
tons of Southern States will be mockery. or
at BEST the last and most striking illustration of
that human infirmty, that
" Resolves and re-resoIves, yet dies the same
The hour of Southern destiny has come
Occupying the finest and most productive coun-
try under the sun, with people superior in \
wealth to any other, with character for courage
yet unquestioned; it is for the sevel millions 4
of white people to say, with the Pacific on one
side, and half continent, with the West Indies
before them, whether they will submit to be
arrested in the greatest career of progress the
world has yet Witnessed Southern Press
That is 20 say, the North should not insist in
the admission of California and New Mexico,
because it might, by its moral effects, operate
against the interests of the shareholders of the
South. If the niggers should happen to find
out that the shareholders had failed in any one
thing upon which they had set their hearts
would at once convince the said slaves tina
their masters were not nvincible, and tlereupor
the safely of Southern fresides ro1tld no ionge

such ridiculous stuff, such puerile argument
addressed to sensible men? Even their dea
rires would mourn over the desolation and ill.,
departure of Southern chvalry and courage
What catastrophe! How bad the Mort
ought to feel, and what strong reason
affords for giving up California and everythin.
