tive Democratic press of the South in-
sist upon it that the Whig party brought
on those dangerous sectional issues which

for the largest liberty, without reference

| Some of them go for equality of rights

in free State is necessarily the father
| of Socialism, and all the other asms,-
but most especially Aboitionism. (The
| first thing Democracy in France did was
| TO turn loose the slaves in S.. Domingo)
Hence the union of the Barnbnrnlng De-
| mocracy at Buffalo and of the Abolition
| lists was the most natural union in the
world. The construction which the ABB
olitionists give to the fugitive slave law,
| the co,ascaeaace construction Of the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher aud of the Rev
Theodore Parker, all had its origin in the
Democratic precedent of Gen. Jackson,
when, on removing the deposits from the
Bank Of the United States, he insisted
th,C
as TIGQ understand it," This "I''
of Gen. jackson is tine conscience" Of
the abolition divines. and "the higher
law" of Governor Seward. (:.T' know

Southern Democracy is not Northern
Abolitiopism and notification of the fugi-
tive slave, to be sure, but is the same sort
of destruction to the Constitution, the
Laws, and the conservative interests of
the country. In South Carolina, in 1882,
"Democracy" was Notification, ethe
rightful remedy of Mr.. Jefferson quoted
by Mr.. Hayne. in 1880, in his reply to
Mr.. Webster. In 1850, democracy is
"Secession." A very large portion of
Southern Democratic party is stepped III
this heresy of Secession, and we Union
men who are opposed to this sneaking
way Of getting up rebellion are set
down as "Consolidationists," as Federal
lists, &c, &c.
All the sectional perils we are now
encountering were started ard created by
the Democracy North aud South; and
whenever what calls itself Democracy
gets into power again. we shall encounter
more of these peris
1t is very true that the Whig party
now in New York is not at all as we
would wish it, but it is coming right, and
that rapidly, too. Rebuke. however,
comes with an i'll grace from Southern
Democracy in alliance with the Democra-
cy of New York. What is the Democ-
racy of New York? John Van Bufen is
an exponent of the larger part of it.
The Abolition Evening Post is the only
surviving organ of it in this large section
of the State. Preston King is another
exponent. Henry B. Stanton is yet an
other. Van Buren is the southern lead
er, Preston King the northern, and Stan
ton-who is fresh from the Abolition
ranks, where he is just over being an
Abolition ecturer-leads the west. All
these men have their thousands and tens
of thousands to back them. Preston
King speaks the voice of ST. Lawrence
county, the strongest Democratic county
in the State, and where the Democracy
has its whole majority in the STATE,
whenever it has majority at all. Such
strong Democratic counties ar Herkimer
and Otsego have wholly gone over to the
Abolition idols. These are public mis-
fortunes, we feel. We are sorry for it
and we announce it with regret; but it is
the fact and it lis the great difficulty Wings
of our opinion and faith have in rescuing
the State from its Abolition propeEsities
The public men of both parties are
afraid to speak. as long as such powerful
counties as St. Lawrence, Otsego, and
Herkimer are Abolition Democratic coun-
ties. We cannot inspire either Wings
or Democrats with courage to face the
prejudices against slavery. and to stand
by the compromises of the constitution
as long as such an incuous is on
them. It is hard, then. Wings as we
are, struggling with Abolition Democra-
cy. to be reading with patience, as we
must read daily in the Tennessee. Ken
tucky, Missouri. Alabama. North Caroli-
ma, Virginia, Florida. and Louisiana
journals, that the Wings of the North
are the enemies of the Constitution and
of their country; that the Democrats of
| the North are alone their defenders, con-
servators. God help them for the mon-
sterous frauds they are perpetratlng upon
the people.
