PROSPECTUS OF THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH:
at shingto

It is alleged by their advocates that the late
factory and final adjustment Of the slavery ques
ton They cannot become SO otherwise than by
uniting and consolidating the South in support
of their rights, and by harmonizing the conflict
ing sectional interests which have arrayed the
North against the South.
The result of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonic with the North To reconcile con-
ficting opinions, and secure concert and una
nimity, there must be mutual confidence and
goodwill This is impossible, unless the sections
deal fairly and justly towards each other. The
true end of government is to protect persons and
property. In the South slaves are property, and
the South demand the peaceable and quiet pos
session of such property. Their right to hold
slaves as property is denied by the Abolitionists
of the North, who, that they may more efficiently
control public opinion in that section, have or
ganized themselves into religious and political
combinations. They act through the press, the
pulpit, and the ballot-box. Such an organization
in one section makes it indispensable that there
should be counter organization in the other
because, if not resisted by such counter organiza-
ton, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control the entire public sentiment social, moral
religious, and political, of that section. The
purpose of the Northern organization is to assail
the rights and interests of the South: the pur-
pose of the Southern organization should be to
protect the interests thus assailed.
Late events prove that the North are so deeply
interested in preserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that o power
full, influential, and controlling party can be raj
lied in that section, who will unite with the South
