the Union formed general welfare shall conne itself
the regulation of foreign affairs and the domestic mat
tiers specially committed by the constitution whether
shall perverted by the stronger section the dgracng
depressing the weaker The issue that of union dis
union. An reasonable at the North knowthey
teetha the Missouri Compromise a stigma upon
the slavehoding States. They know moreover that what
the value of the Union them, they would Immediately
dissolve IT, rather than suffer the South the general
for excluding the free institutions Of the North
from any State Territory. Knowing this and concedng
the of the South like natures and equal resolution to
their they may well be assured that she viii again
submit any interference with slavery by the general gov
eminent She asks legislation for the cement
protection, extension of slavery of the general govern
Only let it attend to those matters for which it
formed and leave slavery and all other matters the States
This the doctrine of the national democratic party
At the North there individual exceptions but they
drop away to the birds of their feather and the
body of the party there is true to this only principle
upon which the Union stand Upon this principle the north
wing has in the first onset been beaten by the faconss
but its disasters have not dsheartened it, and still standing
firm it will be prepared conquer when its opponents begin
to quarrel and divide into their original factions In
this of the case what is the true policy of the South
Shall she adhere the national democrats shall she form
a sectional southern party We notice decided inclination
force early discussion of this natter upon her The
southern wings longer cooperate with their former
allies in the free States and it would be strange if Mt
they fall into the ranks of the southern democrats
No wonder them that already they shall begin to urge the
obvious game But why should southern democrats suffer
themselves be influenced by this manauvre? If there
time when they could conscientousy and heart
ily adhere the northern democrats that time is
They Enthusiastically planted themselves the true
constitutional platform and exerng all power to main
tain firmly, their position But it is said that they
powerles home having already become there hopeless
minority Not so! They minority but not hopeless
In spite of the efforts for southern party, every south
State and California, also will be with them. They
will yet in this contest stem the tide in others of the
States and the dssovng euds the oonfedeacy
the faction and the change Of point by many national wings
will leave the northern democrats powerful for the
preservation of the constitution than before We have
fears whatever of the result, and that right early
Sober men, wings not at the North not prepared
deliberately force upon issue of which they must in
sncvely oresee the disastrous result But whether not
as the South gain nothing by divisions home before
the aggression and it is certain that very large majority
every southern State ympathze with the northern
democracy in their present struggles it becomes her
stand by them, long they keep the field hope
fully under their present banner.
