The ss~shsrn Ambassador Pos,tlen and
Couyss.
In giving place to the Southern Address in our paper Of
this morning, again feel bound to accompany it with
our denial oil It's charges and mputaons in relation to the
press Of this city, far as we are concerned We again
deny and repel most alphabetically the mpuation that
make the election Of President who can bestow "ofces
and spols supreme and controlling object" and one
which paramount to the preservation Of sirsen hun
drsd millions of property. the equality and liberty of
fourteen fifteen States. and he protection Of The shAe
man against African squalnyp And we deny, and re-
pei with equal emphasis the mputaton that we have not
written, permitted anything TO be published in
columns which calculated defend the rights Of the
South, or state truly its case" and that have at
tempted 10 hull the South no false security, or have
been engaged Gin manufacturing artificial public sem
tment suitable for presidential platform, though at
the expense OF every interest the South may possess
matter how DEAR or how vital and momentous;" and we
also deny that this press has taken its from that Of
the North" We deny and repe all and singular OF these
csrned they have no foundation in fact whatever,
On the contrary the very Of these statements
and allegations is true, so far as the Union is concerned
We have. from the beginning, maintained the southern
platform OF intervention with regard slavery which
i. also the platform OF the last Baltimore Convention We
have yndcated and maintained the rights Of the South
under the constitution We have repealed all assaults
upon the domestic institutions fthe South from whatever
h. 49,. L..
serted the equality Of the southern States members Of
this Union and their claim TO be left unmolested in the
enjoyment Of all the rights and privileges which the con.
stuon justly and fairly construed, secures to them We
have done more: we have exposed and denounced the
unnatural coalition which has long existed between
the wings Of the South and the aboltoniss and reeso
wings Of the North We have exposed and denounced the
unnatural combination which bore upon ts banner, and
supported at the balot.box, the names Of southern
STAKEHOLDER and northern aboliionist, for the two
highest Offices known TO the constitution. And
We have exposed and denounced the unnatural
alliance between the STAKEHOLDER and the abolition
is, as existing in the present cabinet and its
ueachery to the interests Of the people Of the South
in the promulgaton and support of policy which, II
successful cannot fail to deprive the South of its just
rights under the constitution, and degrade from that
position Of equality which il has right to claim with
the other sections OF the Union. Such has been the
Of this press since it has been under the control
OF its present editors; and we fearessly point to the
past for the truth Of what say Therefore, we again
repeat that the allegations and nsnuaons OF the Southern
Address, so far as they intended to apply TO this
press, have no foundation in truth whatever.
The senior editor Of this paper has waged war with
Enacism Tor nearly thirty yearsfom the moment that
she showed her hideous front to startled nation. He
warned his country OF the dangers which would arise
from this alarming question: in the midst Of the
vssy which caused Mr. Jefferson, with all his liberal
IDEAS to sound the tocsn against the restriction which
was then threatened upon Missouri On another
theatre, he has never failed TO warn his country
men against the danger OF meddng with this pecu.
liar institution Of the South. He has exhorted his
counirymen to beware Of the emily rock on which the
Union might be shpwrecked and at every phasis Of this
ques,on--wheiber il in the form Of restriction
upon Territories, or OF emancipation in this District, OIL
after the Wmo Proviso wss introduced into Congress
be has wested with it. After this rapid sketch OF his
course and his exertions, he eondescend TO justify
himself against the hasiy or needless mpuatcns which
seem to have been partly aimed at him by those who
wrote the Southern Address, but which not probably
by many Of those who authorized their names TO be
signed 10 il
