The republic., 1851-07-11

men as CAss, DOUGLAS, DICKINSON, and all the
Northern Democrats who sustain the Compro-
mise, be considered as standing firm upon the
slavery question: And are Senators DAVIS,
Mason, HUNTER, RHErT, and Representatives
VENABLE, DANIEL, AsHE, BRowE, WooD-
WARD, and all the Southern Democrats who
denounce the Compromise, and are ready and
willing TO destroy the Union on account of
friends upon this agtating subject? If to
support the Compromise at the North is
standing firm, and denouncing those measures
at the South is also standing firm, then the
Southern Wings, with Messrs. Com, FooTE,
and the Southern Democrats who sustain them,
are fit subjects for the Union newspapers de-
nunciations. The Northern Democracy are
held up TO the Southern people, and especially
the Southern Democrats, as orthodox upon the
slavery question, and the firm and true sup
porters OF the Compromise; as far as this is sus-
tained by facts they will no doubt be appreci-
ated by the friends of the Compromise in the
South, whether Wings or Democrats. Change
the picture, and what do we findl Instead of
the Union newspaper encouraging its Northern
friends with the fact that party in the South,
composed of Wings and Democrats, are using
all their influence to save the Union, day after
the frmest and best friends Of this Republic,
and thereby giving aid and comfort to your
RHETTs, and MAsoNs. and HUNTERS,
and DAvIsEs, and VENABLEs, and the
whole host of the Southern disunionists
Suppose Messrs. CoBB and FooTk are de-
feated, can the Northern Democracy, who
stand by the Compromise, view it as
triumph Of their friends. If they do, all their
assertions about the slavery question are "full
Of sound and fury, signifying nothing" So
far as party triumph is concerned, the Wings
Of the South need only have planted them
selves upon the Compromise, and they would
have been sustained by the people under the
old issue of Wing and Democrat; but the coun-
try was in danger, and they rose superior to
all those influences that generally control party
action. For this they denounced by the
metropolitan Democratic organ, with the as
severaton that they too are the friends of the
Compromise measures.
We desire not to be uncharitable, but we
sincerely believe that the editors of the Union
newspaper, by their unholy warfare upon
the friends of the Union in the South, are
doing more to overthrow the Government
than Mr.. RHETT and his associates in South
Carolina. Again, they hold the Northern
Democracy as well as Northern Whiggery
TO faithful acquiescence in the measures
of the Compromise in all its parts, and tell
them that the Union of the States depends
upon an honest observance of those measures.
They deprecate all agitation of the subject; and
if any convention, especially if it is Whig, ne
elects to sustain the Compromise measures,
they affect to believe that the whole Wing
party North is unsound upon these questions.
Where, and when, we would ask, has the first
rebuke ever emanateG from the metropolitan
Democratic organ to their Southern friends for
the agitation and discord they have been and
are creating in every Southern State?
These interrogatories involve important con-
sderations; and, while our contemporaries Of
the Union newspaper are denouncing the
Southern Wings, they had better keep in re-
membrance that portion Of the Southern and
Northern Democracy are liable to the same at
iacks, and necessarily come under the same de-
nuncations.
