enabled TO give counsel, based upon his OBJ
servatlon, OF the movements around him:
II have lived almost four score years; |
have passed through every grade OF life,
from that of poor boy, self educated, and
seli.dependant TO a station among the high

SOUTH HAVE NOW NOTHING TO
DEPEND ON FOR THEIR FUTURE

tie Union. All other hopes are idle all 9TH
er eXpedients but daggols turned against
their own bosoms. They must assert their
own rights, and protect themselves, for
they have no other protectors. The brand
of fanat,clsm is applied to the houses of
the people, aud must be quenched now or
never"
Subsequent deveGuments have exhibited
the truth and wisdom Of this counsel The
anti.slavery tide having ieceived new inn
petus, by the course of the so,caIled Unon
party in the South is dashing mHdIy on
ward, bearing down all opposition in the
North.
Il cad the following extract of an elabo,
rate Article from the New York Herald, |
showing what is transpiring in the princi- |
pal Northern States:
"The fragments of the late whig party
of the United States, (says the Herald are
just now in most embarrassing situation
Never more so, Thc Northern branch of
this heretofore respectable organization; it
would oppear have deliberately abandoned
the Seuth, aud contemplate sectional
campaign, upon sectional issues, and for
the sectional object OF reducing the South I
to complete submission, to the mere will of
a Northern majority. An aggravaton of
the still existing prejudices between the
two sections, an alienation of the South
from the Union. and combination through.
out the Southern States. for the last despair
ate resort Of secession. What other effects
can be anticipated from compaign be-
tween Southern slavery and Northern ab-
oltiousm? The present attitude of the
Northern wing party is, therefore, bad, ex
ceedihgly dad, anpdtri0tlc ana SuiciRaL.
Again
"The whig party of the North seem al
ready, hook and line, to have gone over to
the tree-soiers, and the indiscrbably mot
ley cliques of traitor and fanatics enrolled
under the guidance of Seward, Greely, Gar
rison, Fred Douglass, Abby Kelly, and com
pany. The declared policy of this piebald
combination is the repeal of the fugitive
slave law, aud permanent embargo against
the extension of slavery, and against the
introduction of another slave State into the
Union. And upon this perilous platform,
so insulting to the South, and so pefiIous
to the peace of the country-so fanaticaI
and suicidal to all concerned-they propose,
as far as we have ouy developments, to
place General Scott before the North, aud
in open defence of the South, and all the
compacts for their security"
Such is the position occupied by the
Northern wing party, as defined by one
who has carefully surveyed the whole field.
We regret to say that the attitude of the
Northern democracy is no less unfavorable
to the South. 1t could not be otherwise,
when they repudiate such tried patriots as
Dickinson and Buel, and make leaders of
such higher law traitors as Van Buren, and
Wilmot.
We give the following as specimen Of
the intelligence of which we are in con-
stant receipt:
MONTPELIER, VT, July 22.--Tbe Dem
ocratlc State Convention assembled to-day.
The Hon. Edward Preston presided and
the Honorable Timothy b. Redfed, of
NAOhtp tpCilCiJ was iOllllIdltu IL tdUulUdle IOF
Governor, in lieu of Lucius B. Peck, de-.
clined Strong resolutions were offered
against the Fugitive Slave law, which was
adopted, and the Convention adjourned
sine die"
To the foregoing we add paragraph
from a recent letter of Senator Dickinson.
Speaking of the movements of our North
ern oppressors, he says:
81 have regarded the ferocious and trea-
sonable agitation which now disturbs our
federal relations, from the beginning, as or
mating in wanton and unprovoked assaults
upon the constitutional rights of the South,
founded in pretences as empty and hypo-
critical as they were pharasaical and bra.
