ABOLITION LIBEL UPON THE AMERICAN UNION.
The New York Evening Post had an article few days
ago. trying to show that certain politicians in the South
and in this city, are devotng themselves earnestly to
the work of dissoving the American Union Some of the
arguments of the Post good deal ridiculous than
profound and some sought be strengthened by the
bssest ialsehoodsfor instance the effort to prove that
when the last Democratic National Convention accepted
and approved portion of the resolutions of ss and 49,
that result brought about in order to commit the
democratic party the principle Of notification and that
certain secession leaders effected it to prepare the way for
dissolution of the Union statement shameless sinks
beneath contempt The editor of the Evening Post could
not have been ignorant of the fact that during the sitting
of the committee resolutions Mt the last National Con-
vention of the democratic party Baltimore that commit
ee by very decided vote refused to place any such
struction is placed upon the resolution by such
enemies of the Union represented by the Post
very able debate took place in the committee at the time
members contendng that the principle of
sion maintained in portion of the resolutions of os
and go but the overwhelming majority taking the ground
that the "obvious meaning and import" of those
resolutions contemplated such contingency as dis
solution and secession, but that in adopting and
dorsing them the democratic party called upon
recognise them only in the in which they have
always been understood and practised by the fathers
and trainers of the constitution itself 1t is an idea
worthy of the tactics OF the abolition school, that now
when the whole South united in support of the Amer
Union-now when the divisions and dssensions that
existed in THAI part of the country have been econced
and composeda northern agitator, to carry out his
purposes seeks to revive the baieui passions that had
hoped had been forever exngushed The spectacle of the
people of the South reconced and happy gall and
wood to the agitaors whose trade is discord and whose
prayer is that free institutions may be destroyed The
free States flourish and prosper % unparalleled extent
The sentiment affection for the Union deeply seated
in the bosom Of the North the sentiment which
knowledges Supreme Being 1t may be called part of
the religion Of the people and ms well might such posoners
of the public pesee the Post essay to unseat the firm
foundations upon which our social and moral webeng
reposes convince this people that their spw
in the South desire the Of
brotherhood and national equality Where in the South
at this moment the most jealous scrutiny discover
feeble suspicion to sustain the allegation that
is on foot in that quarter in the city of Washington
to PROSTATE beloved Union7 1t is proiane and
daring calumny, alone invented to DISTURB the uni
| veSsa and prevailing tranquility. We see the South
rising to greatness by the cultivation of the arts of
peace the diffusion Of popular intelligence the consruc
ton of internal improvements and the rapid increase of
those facilities which bring her the North and
knit her closer and closer those with whom she has
fought every battlefield that has been illuminated by
the American flag 1t is false and wicked say that the
southern people receding from the North when every
hour placing them in aectionate attitude and in
neghborhood to the North We tell such slam
derers the Post that the day for the deadly designs of
abolition is passing away and tat in few years will be
regarded of stain upon the reputation of pub
lie to say that he opposed to the Union of these
States matter how briefly than it Is Say that
American turned traitor to his country the battlefield
Like the disease which sometimes through generations
tanting the blood and shortening the life of the
and pure, the canker Of disunon charged upon
public man will disgrace oil that bear his or belong
to his race, to the latest posterlty
Not the least disgracefu of this attempt of the Post Is
the idea of making the democratic party responsible for the
iefoiuuS sNueHu VI o'StthiR tHc pHion
history of that party should make such caumnators Of its
fair fame fearful of invoking universal reprobaon their
reckless lsehood BY the blessing of od this Union has
prospered to degree without parallel in the records of
the human The democratic party has from the be-
ginning been the champion of that Union and than
has 1t temporarily fallen while contesng with aboi
tionsm and anaticsm when these kindred were
organized against our free institutions When the demo-
cratic party its back upon the American Union we
shall expect Nature itself shrouded in eternal
eclipse and the hour Of the final doom at hand.
What misfortune il is to such whig paper the
Macon Gcorga Journal and Messenger that there not
in all the North whig representative who has declared
in favor of the Nebraska bill If this so il might
claor against Franklin Pierce with indignation more
consistent though not more violent, than that which now
Eliminates its columns But like its bravery in the
premises 1t has task do, and il does it. II cannot
help the northern foes against the South unless by abusing
be northern friends of the slave States and although this
is not agreeable pasme yet il must be done the Mes
senger goes at IL with hearty good will We like courage
under all circumstances when il is exhibited in bad
cause and we admire whjg print in the South bold
enough let its abolition feelings Therefore we nd
mire the Macon Messenger.
