Aon OF the Southern democracy and yet Southern
democrats are invited to lend themselves to
its accomplishment. 1t is true that some indem-
nifty is rendered them for the dsg Of classical
ton with abotionlsts, and for the constant abuse
which they receive from tuose who now court their
favor. Bus the indemnity l., IN ITSELF substantive
and independent courage The South wants quiet

newal Of sectional agitation. Yet the ficsions.s of
New York, who coDspire the overthrow Of the de-
mOcratic party attest their devotion to the South
by wsntCn disturbance eff the public peace, and by
Iekil i1og the fame OF slavery agitation. 1t mat
tiers not mat they affect To be the exclusive cham
pioas of the fnalty Of the compromise. No
Inconsistency is too fragrant which may pro-
mote their end and they invoke the angry spi-
r of sectional strife to aid them in their attempts
to build up party Oh the basis OF the compr0 mise.
The South occasion at present to throw itself
into attitude OF hostility TO the North; but the
perserviceabe zeal OF New York faction would rouse
lts sHspic and its slumberiDg passions with the
hypocrtcal cry that rights in danger We distrust
the friendship which - serve some selfish purpose,
wantonly destroys our peace and the South Will
hardly be seduced into approval of party on tie
basis Of the compromise by the hollow professions of
reckless agitators. The South reposes undonbt-
ing confidence in the hot Of President Pierce and
Is reluctant to believe that it will ud any better
security for its rights in party the basis OF the
compromise than it finds in the patriotism Of the pre-
sent administration. Southern democrats are sill
loyal TO their party viii they desert it at the bid
ding OF the spols seeking politicians OF New York.
They recognise President Pierce the faithful cham
pi0n OF their principles, they will extend to his
administration the support it so well deserves.
