arHE DEED Is DoNE.r

HThe deed is DONE" is the oracular sentence
with which the Cincinnati Gazette announces
the passage Of the Nebraska bill through the
House of Representatives. The Gazette, after
much Of lamentation and denunciation, sum
mons literature to its aid; and, of all literary
productions, it manifests preference for Scots
works. 1t quotes two sentences; one from Rob
Roy, the other from Guy Mannering. The first
is for the benefit Of northern members, the last
for the benefit of southern members. 1t says:
"We say to those men who have voted for
this wrong-who have deceived their constitu-
ents, and sold to party, what was meant for
mankind; in the words of Rob Roy to Rash
leigh: Think ont, dream on't there is yet day
of reckoning to come when the north will
arise in her giant strength, and hurl into OBJ
security every man who has, by his voice or vote,
favored this infamous wrong"
It's quotation for the south is thus intro
duced:
"There is much more that we would say, and
shall say hereafter To those southern men
who have given their votes for this aggression
upon the interests and honor Of the north, we
would remind them of what Meg Merrilles said
to Godfrey Bertram See if your ain rooftree
stand the frmer for this You have uprooted
our confidence in the southern political faith.
There will be no more compromises with
slavery, on the part of the north.
Now, however much may be said against the
course and the sentiments Of the Gazette. this
can be said in its favor-that it exhibits q
proper appreciation of its position and Of its
calling. Instead of quoting texts from the
Bible, as many abolition journals do, it quotes
the sayings of robbers and smugglers. 1t most
appropriately arms itself with sentences selected
from Rob Roy, the noted robber, and Meg
Merrilles the old beldame of smuggling noto-
riety.
Now, that is right. 1t is mean and sneaking
to sail under false colors it is bold and manly
to hoist true colors. Let the pirate spread his
black flag to the breeze, let the robber exhibit
himselfin his slouched hat and his full costume.
1t shows at least dashing courage.
The crusade Of the abolitionists against the
south is at best but piratical scheme, and it is
fit that those engaged in it should feel more
sympathy with sinners than saints, with robbers
than apostles, with texts from highwaymen than
with texts from scripture. Then let the New
gate calender be overhaued. 1t abounds in
gems of vulgarity and blasphemy, which would
serve admirably to garnish and decorate the
speeches and the writings of the abolitionists.
But we would ask a question or two First,
will the passage of the Nebraska bill make one
northern man the less? viii it diminish the
property of the north? Will it deprive one
single citizen Of the northern States of one iota
of his property or prevent him from going
with that property into any territory OF the
United States? Secondly, will it make one
single slave the more? Will it add one to the
present number of slave owners? VIII it give
to the southern States any advantage over the
northern States? None whatever. 1t will only
make them what they were designed to be-
arfnal .G.
