What Will the End bet

A@AAN~
Who can Sc; down and calmly consider
the policy now being pursued by the ultra
slavery propagandists of the Union, at the
North as we'll as the South. and not have
his mind fred with indignation, at the high
handed outrages and treacheries -ahat have
been committed on the floor of our Nation
al Councils. Is there one steadfast and
devoted lover of his country. and its free
institutions, but feels that lie has been be-
trayed by the men whom he believed would
stand up manfuly for the right, and resist
these encroachments of the South with the
firmness and decision that our fathers re-
sisted the tyranny Of the English King. Is
there Northern freeman but feels hum
bled in soul and spirit as he contemplates
the degradation thus laid upon him, bring
ing him down lower in the estimation Of
the Southern STAKEHOLDER than the negroes
whose bodies and souls he calls his own ?
The north has been time and again deceiv-
ed by the South, and wickedly betrayed by
its own representatives, every time declar-
ing the one then sought to be enforced, a
fnality measure. But the South makes no
more such pledges. They are determined
to have more power in the councils Of the
nation, and nothing will they leave untried.
that shall give them the desired object
No more will they plight their faith to the
North 10 stand by the Compromises they
may suggest. They declare that the North
shall succumb to them and their behests
and they will bring about all they desire, if
we are to Judge the future by the past.
The annexation of Texas to the United
States with an extent of territory sufficient
to form five Slave States. involved us in a
war with Mexico, then, to settle finally and
forever the agitation of the slavery question,
and give the country peace, the compromise
Of 1850 was accepted by the north. and
ere the country had become quiet from this
great tornado that swept over the land, a
bill is introduced TO repeal the Missouri
Compromise, and throw down all barriers
and impediments to the onward progress of
the institution of slavery. And they are
not going to stop now. Cuba is to be OBJ
tanned, for the accomplishment of this, hun
dreds Of millions of dollars are to be ex-
pended. If Spain will part with the Island
for our gold, then the acquisition will be
peacable one. if not war with that Country,
France and England will be the inevitable
result. st. Domingo, Porto Rico. and 9TH
er of the West India Islands have already
been selected by the Administration 10 be
annexed to this country. Then they say it
is manifest destiny that we should control
the whole of the Western Continent, and
in less than FIVE years, they will "seek an
alliance with Brazil and the extension Of
slavery in the valley of the Amazon"
May we not then with proprety ask,
what will the end be? Are not these dis.
closures astounding? How can the minds
of northern men succumb 10 the dction Of
the arrogant, naughty, effeminate South.
Is not this, the seventy ninth anniversary
Of American Independence, new inde-
pendence day TO thousands who shall
henceforth say, we will not have any more
compromises with slavery no more slave
soil shall be anexed to the confederacy !
repeat of every concession to slavery! All
his can be brought about and accomplished
ifthe people will be true to themselves, and
send no more doughfaces to Congress TO
be used by the south as they wish. Let us
send such men there as Wade, Campbell,
Taylor and others who stood by continually,
ready at all times to defend the honor and
integrity of the Free States.
