tn. Rspublio- Questions and Answers
In comments Of yesterday the article Of the day
before in the government organ, had not space TO
call attention to certain questions and answers which ii
contained We embrace this the earliest opportunity to
supply the omission The Republic says:
sis South Carolina the verge of abandoning tho hal
lowed ark Of freedom the remedy of the Union is
dsnounce the administration.

:" u effort made by tho democratic party the North

nizins party 1.-The response Of the Union is the
nouotonous note Of condemnation"
This il strange mode Of argument-one might
well pass over in silence. But we fully understand
the position in which the administration and its
organ are placed. and we are disposed to be merci
full II il, indeed, hard task 10 look both ways at
once Since the death Of Janus. no being has been
20 created that his physical conformation enables
him to look TO the North and the South at the
same time. The organ has, however. undertaken by
quick movements-by expeditions urningto rival the
double face and double vision OF the Roman god But
it finds the task difficult one. In these days of rail-
roads and telegraphs it partakes of the nature of
Hercuean task preach up the sanctty of the Compro
mise the people Of the South, and at the time
endorse the declaration OF the Vermont wings that the
Compromise 10 not sacred than any ordinary act of
legsatono utter profuse professions Of love for the
Union for southern ears, and at the time join with
Seward and Greeley in urging the right to modify or
repeal the Compromise, and sustain the abolitionist
Johnston in Pennsylvania, and sanction the disorgan-
ling resolutions Of the Ohio wing convention But to
return to the questions and answers Of the organ.
The Republic asks rs South Carolina the verge Of
abandoning the halo,red ark Of our freedom 2" The
Republic answers its own question by affirming that
"tAe remedy of the Union is 10 derounee the admins
trotion."
We do no, wish to quibble about mere words, or to
expose mere verbal bubbles We have denounced the
course pursued by the northern whig party ard recently
we have denounced the efforts Of the administration TO
keep on terms OF friendship and brotherhood with the
hgher.law fanatics OF the North because wished to
prevent the spread OF excitement at the South and be-
cause we wished 10 allay level WHICH u'sSHk
the people of South Carolina the verge of Madness
That fever had been occasioned by the aggressons and
insults OF the wing and abolition Coalitions in the North ;
and the Compromise did not allay II, because the wing
and abolition parties OF the North would not acquiesce in
the Compromise, bu, threatened and still threaten, the
repeal Of the only feature OF the Compromise which
made il acceptable TO the South When saw the ad-
minsation giving aid and comfort TO the higherlaw Ia
naics-when we saw the Executive permitting the fol
lowers OF Seward, Johnston, Corwin. Ewing, Co, TO
baen on the emolumenu OF oice-when we saw that the
organ OF the administration defending the nullihers
Of Vermont, sustaining the reelection Of Johnston up
holding the anti-compomse course OF the OHIO wings
and bowling TO the dica,ion of Seward, Thurow
Weed. and Horace Greeley in New York-thereby urging
and encouraging further assaults the Souhit be-
our duty denounce the OF the adminstra
ton for that course emnenuy calculated 10 add
fuel 10 the fame OF secession in the South We feel
hesitation in repeating wha, said yesterday, tina, the
sanction given to northern anacism by the adminslrs
ton and its organ in the endorsement, Of the Albany
on has done and will do strengthen the
Of secession than thousand Rhetis could do. We
prefer TO strike at the guilty paries-a the aggressor,
rather than a, him who resiss aggression too far II
were disposed TO reason after the of the Republic
We might say;
els South Carolina the verge Of abandoning the
haowed ark OF our freedom '"-he remedy OF the Re
public and OF the administration is to a,enze with the
men who have driven South Carolina to that desperate
course.

encouragement offered by the Republic and the admins
,ra,ion m 10 uphold those fanatics who would make that
cooperation inevitable.
Are party lied vered at the South, and wing and
democrat driven to unite for The salvation Of their coun
try r-,he aid and comfort offered them by the Repubii
and the ADMINISTRATION is to insult their union and MAKE
unavaling by insisting party divisions IN the North
and by sustaining for party purposes Johnston and Vnton
and joining hands with Seward and Horace Greeley.
Al to the las, n,eogatory quoted above, we cannot SCI
how oxr denunciatons Of the wing party or OF the admin
sra,ion could prevent ian effort made by the demo
cratic party Of the North to adopt national platform or
