fHERN SENTIMENT.

NH eny expectation whatever that justice viii
ever be done to the South, or that she will be
permitted to remain in the Union, except upon
the condition that in the end she will give up
3 her rights upon the snbiect Of slavery. The
spirit of hostility to oar institutions is as rife at
the North as it has ever been 1t is true nu.
merous professions regard for our rights have
followed the late series of Congressional mea-
snres, as they have done in all other compro.-
misses submitted to by the South, in which we
have lost u large measure of our just rights.
Tile object, and indeed the effect of these pros
fessions, is to quiet the South, and to lull her
into fatal security. And the North with an
eye attentive to the manifestations OF public
sentiment in the South, as soon as it discovers
the South will bear another dose, get up anoth-
er difficulty upon the slavery question, and a.
mother compromise or adjustment is made. IN
which, through Northern fanaticism and South.
ern treachery we are again cheated out anoth-
er large portion of our rights. This game has
ritorial domain is open to Northern men, we
are in effect excluded from every foot oft.
The policy of the North now is Ia late NUM-
Der of the New York Tribune indicates it) to
wait awhile, to keep their hand on the pulse
Of the patient-if we may SO speak-and ad'
minister more physic until they are satisfied the
Southern patient will bear it. Besides the ex.
penditures and disbursements of the General
Government are of immense Importance to the
business community at the North. The man.
ufacturers of the North are also ciamorous Tor
more bounties in the shape of high duties to be
levied uponSfhe returns of the industrial exports
of the South. Hence, as we have already re-
marked, the Tribune, the most open and can
did of the anti slavery papers Of the North, 10
dicates as the true policy for the North, to
cease the agitation Of the slavery question, at
least until another division of spos, in the shape
Of Congressional appropriation bills, shall be
made. The policy is, to let the victim have
rest until the contents of the treasury be squan-
dered One thing at time, is the game.
After this division, the war of aggression ana
agitation can and will be resumed, and con.
tinued so long as he will bear it, only to be sus
pended at those annual periods at which the
tribute exacted from the South, by high aud
unjust taxation, is to be divided out among
those who live in that favored region whose
hypocritcal boast is, that "their skirts are free
from the sin of slavery"
The TnbnBegives US distinctly to UNDER
stapd that the North never consent that any
portions of California, New Mexico or Utah
slla}t ever be open to the people of the slave
States In thfs sentiment the Tribune express
es tie universal sentiment of the whole North
Of aiEparties And we have to make up our
minds to submit to this degrading inequality,
and 10 the end to give up our properly, or like
men determined, at once, and without further
delay, 10 assert and maintain those rights and
that independence which are so justly ours:
E@sRuf the Tribune not only iys1lssn.nsss
~hatis the policy Of the Nortk, but distinctly
infifnates that the Government will make the
effort 60 eoerce the obedience to its measures.
ZIG He deuEted before, such articles from tne
E)eaEinc papers of the North, distinctly exhibit
what they regard the condition and desnny OF
the South!
For ourselves we have no hope for a better
state Of things at the North. We have never
known tie spirit of aggression and fanaticism
to be satisfied and appeased by concession and
submission. That good faith and brotherly
love at the North of which we now hear so
much, exists only in the throats OF the dema-
gognes; who want our money or our votes; and'
With however much reluctance, ve shall as soon
bsd driyen to the conclusion that not being able
to preserve our equality 10 the Union, It IS the
solemn and imperitive duty of the South TO seek
and maintain her indepence out ofit.--Blont. Ad.
