BRITISH AID TO THE ANTI-SEBRAsKA PARTY
lthas long been weseted and established that Gar
rson and other leaders Of the abolition party in this eou
Try are IN the employ and pay Of the British government
Their violent and continued attacks upon the constitution
and the Union their consistent action in endeasorng
ALLEVIATE the North from the South their harnngues and a
Peas 10 the people disregard the law and murder its OF
hoers IA prove beyond the possibility of doubt that
hne OF action has been marked from which they
allowed 10 depart In all the efforts OF the wing and Abo
oh parties 10 divide the country upon TIE slavery qaes
uon these men have been their active and efficient a.
lies When the Missouri Oompromise adopted, they
were as violent against thai Legislative they
against its repeal When the compromise measures Of
1850 established as the law Of the land these paid
emssares OF the British government joined with their al
hes-the wings and abolionisis-in threatening TO dis
solve the Union rather than submit its Every
enforcement Of the ngtyesAve law has with the
violent and in bloody resistance from these
All ths shows that their object the settlement
Of the slavery question but such continued agitation
Will best ald the designs the British government upon the
honor and prosperity Of this Union
The passage Of the Nebraska bill by which the whole
question Of slavery is withdrawn from Congress and the
national arena and lef people Of States
and Territories has afforded the British presses Of the
country and the British party in ii another opportunity
raise the storm Of denunciaon against the Union ard
lis stability. As sample of the in which the
question is treated by the British allies OF the anti
party give the following from the Kingston
(Canada) Journal of June 81
Slavery is in fact thrust upon Nebraska and Kansas
by the authority of Congress and the local legislatures
these Territories when they shall have been formed
viii have in the matter they poweess annul
the decree which has forth however earnestly they
may desire to do Ii would be but very little stretch
Of authority for Congress TO pass act iegalzng slavery
throughout the American Union thus taking the matter
Of the hands of the Legislatures But last
feather added the load broke the carnes back such
act would raise such storm Of throughout the
North would lead the disruption OF the Union, which
is the strength of the North American States and in the
absence Of moral principle suppose the southern
ers have sufficiently wholesome dread of the conse-
quences of such event 10 keep them from making further
Rggressions the rights Of the North
The in Boston and elsewhere where
the capture Of fugitive slaves has been resisted to the e
Of blood pretty clear indications that northerners
viii permit their rights to be violated beyond certain
point The thin edge Of the wedge which has tended
sunder the North from the South il degree in
serted into the constitution when the fugiyeave law
passed. The Nebraska bill is heavy blow the
thick end driving il in still deeper and widening the fs
The southerners must be careful how they apply
another blow if they do desire the Union be entirely
broken and the North completely severed from the South
There many ways ofehecng this besides the legal
zng Of slavery throughout the Union One OF these
present Congress determined pursue rel-
live the annexation OF Cuba Already has Mr. Slidels
resolution empowering the President Of the republic
suspend the neutrality laws and declare his own
authority during the recess passed the Senate
We have received ntiInation Of s having passed
the House Of Representatives but there is little doubt that
it will ii il has not passed that body aready This is
indeed radical change in the constitution Ii Is invest
ing the President with of the highest prerogatres
royalty and this is, viii he the of democratic
Congress Is il significant of the determination OF the
American Congress to possess Cuba by any and every
How such ultra republicans the Americans
relish this method Of converting their elected President
quasi King to is if they do relish it
Several Of the papers both Of The North and of the South
have denounced it in the most unqualified terms. May
this be Of frustrating that spirit of terrific
rial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which have possessed the
Americans We trust il win be- and that may be an

perperuity In Cuba
the credit of this article had been omitted hazard
nothing asserting that large portion Of readers
would have fastened its paternity upon the New York Tr

other cities sghen they openly justify the
acts of these Boston nprderers All the opposition
common parentage No bow diluted the stream
of treason its waters all proceed from the fountain
The arguments that suit British journal When attacking
the great American principle OF selfgorernneni which
established BY the blood Of forefhers I776 are
identical with those that promulgated by their allies
the wings and aboltonsts in this country The game Of
the British party identical with proposed by the
New ork Tribune-to create northern sectional party
for the coming presidential campaign and in this manner
If possible effect separation OF the Union The Kingston
Journal talks Of the Union being entirely broken up if the
sontherners careful and audes Cuba aues-
ton scheme of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT which the
North is bound oppose AT all hazards if the dso-
luton of the Union is the consequence All this shows the
existence Of British plot in which the northern wings
and abolitionisis concerned The meaning intent of
which is the separation Of the States and consequent
dissolution of the American Union
The Of the British press may safely be taken
index Of thai of the people upon the Issues before this
nation The aristocracy OF that country opposed
the principles of segovernnen because they give still
further propulsion to the energies Of this republic and
hence British presses join with the wings and atoltionisis
ia classifying and abusing the democracy for their support
Of the Nebraska bill If by this means and through the
agency journals in this country the peace and perpetu-
ty Of the Union be disturbed much the paata-
bic the British nation The hatred Of monarchy to free
institutions is deep and undying and hence all
legitimate by which they be attacked and crippled
