eight months of the session of Congress commenc.
ING December, lS49, were devoted to the work OF
endeavoring to get up panic on the subject OF
a dissolution of the Union. At the expiration OF
three months, Webster was brought out to make
his celebrated 7th Of March speech, in which he
sacrificed all the words and sentiments of his life
to save the Union, which, he said, could be saved
! by nothing else. From this speech dated that
whole career of northern treachery which resulted
in striking down the Wimot provlso; IN making
hunting ground for slaves of the whole North IN
abolis6iasg the great rights of habeas corpus and
trial by jury in all cases involving personal liberty
and in solemn guarantee that slavery shall not be
excluded By Congress- either aaOao on hereafter from
the 7aeeo Territories!
It was in the very middle of this panic and
when every engine of terror was brought to bear
upon the people and Legislatures of the free States
to induce them to relieve their senators and repre-
sentatves from former instructions, that or legis-
ature commenced its session. Then it, if ever,
that the Union was in danger, and them if ever,
was it necessary to repeal the resolution OF lS49.
This the bunker leaders, with FRANK PIERCE AT
THEIR HEAD, LABoRED TO ACCOMPLISH.
The resolutions of ls49 referred to, denounced
the demand of Virginia and other southern States
for a new fugitive-s1ave law a demand so Eek
traordinary and insulting to the people of the free
States, that it could not have been advanced with
any expectation of its being submitted to by any
State where regard to the interests OF slavery was
not paramount to every other consideration"
The Independent Democrat of January 9th SO,
the same from aUhich the Republic quotes speaks as
follows of the democratic party-the hunkers, as
! it is pleased to style its members:
| GAS we said last week, we deem it of little con-
sequence who they nominate Principles, not
men, are to be the issues in the next election. The
people are and disguised with the bunker lead
ers and bunker policy in New Hampshire. They
are bound to rebuke and reform both. Be the
standard-bearer Of that party who it may,'it will
not make the difference of hundred votes. No
man in their ranks can come within many thousands
of an election. No mans personal popularity OF
unpopuIarity can even sensby affect the result
Whoever represents the slavish principles Of New
Hampshire hunEerisma aUiU meet aOh utter repadi-
alton at the hands Of tke honest and lo0n9
denizens of oar mountain homes"
The same number of the paper contains the fol
lowing on the "slave power and Kossuth :"
"THE SLAVE POWER Us. KossUTH. The advent
of the Saviour of the world scarcely created more
CONSERVATION among the demons who reigned in
that age than is now felt by the shareholders, in
Congress and out, at the coming of the great Hun
garian apostle of liberty this country Like those
famous tlegions of Jewish history, the slave pow
err feels itself rebuked by the presence of Kossuth
and cannot help the conviction that he is come to
torment slavery before its time. Not for any word
Kossuth has spoken not for anything he has writ
!
down-crushed humanity; does American oppres
sion dread and hate him. He has failed and re-
fused to bow before God Cotton and God Moloch
and both have sworn his defeat, and resolved that
he shall go back to Hungary, if at all, with empty
hands and broken heart.
! For faint picture of the slaveholding feeling al
Washington, we refer our readers to the proceed
I ings in Congress, where no limit is found to the
disgraced and disgracefu slave faction, to resist
simple resolution OF welcome to the foremost pat
riot of all this world. 1t would seem as though the
demon of madness had taken full possession of the
slave representatives with the fell purposes of push
ing them on to premature destruction.
| We are not sorry for the demonstration, since
sooner or later it was inevitable The interests O
slavery everywhere are the same Slavery itself il
everywhere the same. The sympathies of the op
tpressor are everywhere one. The woman whipper
of America cannot but sympathize with the Hay
naus and Gorgeys of Hungary. They cannot bu
fear the Kossuths of all lands. That the slavehol
ders IN Congress, therefore, should feel they dc
] was to be expected. For thus early showing thei
hands we thank them. The exhibition max
ing by them will open eyes that else would no
have opened for years.
Let the slave power do its worst. Let it strik
its poison fangs into the heart of Hungarys glori
Gus leader. Let it disgust the world with its dis
organizing fanaticism. Let it rant and rage. Blu
for all these things let it know that God and man
kind will bring it into judgment"
