Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1854-07-31

Whlle we acquiesced, as we were bound
to do as States RIGHTS men, in the decis-
ION OF the Georgia Convention. whereby
the Compromise Of 1850 was accepted as
flnallty on the Slavery question, we are
and have always been convinced that the
civilization of the North and of the South
Is antagonistic, and will, sooner or later.
result IN deadly feud between the sections.
Prior to the decision Of the Georgia Con
Ivention, we and the party with which we
acted, advised the South to Law down am
ultlmatum on this harassing subject and
require the North to accept it, and thus a.
vert forever the danger which threatened
the internal peace of the South and the
stability of the Union from It's ceaseless a.
citation; and if the North refused to Weld
to our just, reasonable and constitutional
demands, to secede peaceably from the u
Inion. Our councils were disregarded, the
patriotic men who acted with us we're de-
lnounced as traitors, and the Compromise
was accepted instead as faoIity. And
lslch tinality? No sooner was the great
cardinal principle of the Compromise APP
iplied, in subsequent legislation, to tie Ne
braska bill, than all the smoldering fire of
Abolition burst out afresh, and the whole
northern horizon now blazes with the llrid
light of Abolition.
ANY preceding excitement which has
prevailed at the North on this painful sub
Iject, as compared to this, is as the gentle
swell Of the ocean, when famed by the e.
vening zephyrs, to the fierce waves which
Lash the heavens, when swept by the wing
OF the tempest. The impious wretches de-
lfy the laws of both God and man, and de-
Isplte the use of any othermeans in carving
1out their nefarious purposes than brains and
balls. Even the blessings which the Union
has poured upon the North, in golden
flood, until every rocky hill and promonto-
Try blooms like a garden, are denied to have
lcome from this source; the closest and old
est political ties are broken asllnder with
out regret; the whole rank and file Of
the Wing party North have marched with
eolors flying and drums beating the Fugi-
tive's March, into the Abolition camp; and
close on their heels presses a goodly num-
Der Of both the Soft and Hard Democracy.
until, confident Of success, they boldly pro-
claim their fixed purpose to acquire the
control Of the Government, and WELD its
immense power to the building up of the
North, and the pulling down of the South
until the institution Of Slavery shall topple
to the ground and cover with its fragments
all this glorious southern land in which are
the graves Of our fathers and the inherit
ances Of our little ones. And what is more,
and worse, they are able to accomplish 1t
If the North as united There are but
two remedies. One has been repudiated.
/ The other has before held out to our Sou
thern brethren, and still holds out in spite
.Iof the SCOTS Of The .alabanaa Journal and
1.-THE labored witticislns of The Chronicle
and Sentinel. The South must unite in
Iserried rank, aud move like an embattled
host, with fxeG bayonets, and without a
Idiscordant football upon the foe But e.
ven then we viii be out-fanked and over
powered. We mast haze Northern allies.
If they will enlist Under our banner we
will not stop to inquire into their antece-
Idents, ndf question their motives. If they
desire spoils let them strip the dead. They
necessarily march in the van, and this is
guarantee enough Of their fidelity. But
where are these allies? They are the De-
mocraey who stood by tho Nebraska bill.
With their aid the South is certain Of VIC
'Itory. viii the Wings Of the South tell
US why they cannot coalesce with them p
