Again. we ask where can the South look
for security To the North We doubt not
that there are multitudes of loyal men in the
principal Northern cities. But, in every so.
ciety. the bad men are more active and az,
gressive than the good. Even mobs, in nine
cases out of ten. are chiefly composed oil
mere spectators while handful of rioters
do all the mischief No society, however
can last long in which there is no appeal
from the mob. And were there any danger
of mob law becoming supreme in Boston and
New York, and destroying property and life
in those cities whenever it suited its caprice
we should soon see the good men becoming
more active and aggressive than the evil
We should see them, as in the Macready riot,
in New York, and the Church riots in Phila.
delphia, maintaining law and order at the
point of the bayonet and with the thunder o,
artillery. Now, the practical question for us
to consider is, can we expect the loyal and
honest citizens OF the North to shake off their
measures to put down that lawlessness which
is depriving Southern men of property and
life? If we can, all will yet be well for their
interests and for ours. If not, where must
the South look?
We answer, to HERSELF alone She
must look the danger, that menaces her,
boldly and fully in the face, and scout here
after everything ike a temporizing policy or
halfway measures. If the Constitution and
Congress of the United States cannot. and
the people of the North will not, secure us
our rights, we must ourselves exercise the
right and duty of self preservation, and exer-
else it with fearless and vigorous hand. If
the North throws off IFS allegiance to the
Constitution, the South is no longer bound by
that instrument. We trust that in the event
of the defeat of justice, in the present pro-
ceedings at Boston. or the continued nullifca-
ton hereafter of the Fugitive Slave law the
South will look to its own legislation for re-
taliation and security.
