The primitive Republican. (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-1852, 1852-08-19
Warning from a Northern Man.

At public meeting in Virginia, Mr. Cor
man of Indiana, made a speech in which he
depicted most feelingly the situation of the
public men in the free States who are strug-
Cling for the Constitution and the rights of
the South. We have frequently said, that
we feel disgraeed, when we remember how
basely Mr.. Dickinson, and other Northern
members who battled for US, were deserted
in the contest by SO many of the Southern
members. Now another crisis approaches
The North has given us the candidate we de-
sired, and the freesoilers have started their
man. The effect of the contest will be, to
establish or to PROSTATE our Northern friends
They appeal to US feelingly on that subject,
and urge us to unite, lest they and the Con-
stitution fall together. Hear the closing re-
marks of Mr.. German on this subject.
Fellow-citizens, live in a free State,
and I say here to-day that the wing nomi-
nation at Baltimore lcds made through the
efforts of Northern AJolitionisn, and if it
triumphs-mark my prediction--if you place
in power such men as lead that fanatical in
terest, sectional agitation will go on more
recklessly than ever, and VIC of the North,
who have remained faithful to the Union and
the Constitution, must necessarily fall, and
those who acted with US. Elect Scott, and
permit Sewardism, Abnlitionism, aud Free
soilism to triumph, and mysefand nay CO.
adjtors of the North 90 dOacn, and we shall
never have hope of taking part in the Gov
eminent, unleSs IRE enlist under the bldck,
| fdg Of AbolitiOnisn,, and ride into polrer up-
on tie ruins of orr country. Mark what
say to you, Whigs-if there are any hero
! if you permit Northern men who have stood
by the Constitution in the dark hour, MAIN
tanning your constitutional privileges-if
you permit those men to go down, strangled
by the efforts of Freesoilism, you deserve to
have the fugitive slave law repealed. When.
with my gallant friend from Illinois, Mr.
Richardson, we were holding up the Consti-
tuition of our country in a free State, defeat
ing freesoilism, Abolitionism, and all section
al issues, we asked our country-Will you
stand by the bond which your fathers made
that they would deliver up fugitives from
labor? Our people periodically answered
We will our fathers made our glorious
Constitution, and agreed with the South. to
"deliver up fugitives from labor" and We
will keep the bond. We asked them again
and again, will you keep the bond-will you
stand by the covenant of your fathers? They
answered triumphantly, yes.
"Virginia achigs, do gou ash as to sucar
to abide by that constitution and get support
and sympathize acith those politicians aoho,
IN the free States Of this country, declare
"That the Constitution IS league ,oih death
and corenant avith hell ?'' 1t is to the wings
l appeal. Although we may fall at the
North, we will yet stand by the Constitution,
with our feeble voices raised for the guaranteed
rights of all sections. [Applause.l You may
try to avoid it as much as you please, this achig
nomination as made to destroy as IN the North,
and If you, aohigs Of Virginia and other
Southern States act an concert Nth those
1Cho desire to destroy us, yOW deserve to hare
freesOa doctrines applied practically here By
a repeal Of the .TugitiUe Stare lac. May l
be permitted to say for the democracy of
Indiana, that we are as ready as any other
people in this country to pledge our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honors in de-
fence of that Constitution and our glorious
, institutions. EApplause.] My fellow-citi.
: zens, this glorious day, with its memories of
the past and hopes of the future, bids US to
. push on in the great cause of Democratic
progress, until we shall make this country,
what ultimately it will, be the greatest, the
freest, and the happiest nation upon the face
) of the earth. Applause. Then my fel-
low-citizens, to Old Virginia look, as the
mother of States, as the mother of States
) men, as the mother of Democratic principles,
, as the mother of the Declaration of Indepen
! dence, as the mother of the Constitution it
} self, to prevent national men north Of Ma
sons and Dixon's line. from being crushed bg
: the fell spirit and iron heel Of freesOtisna ana
t abolitionism. Great applause
EThree hearty cheers were here given fol
