FRIDAY. JUNE Q, 1854,
The Philo.ophy 81 q.


We copy the following sensible article from
the Springfield Republican, the ablsst Wing
paper in Massachusetts,:
With many who have for years been ultra
anti-slavery men, and with more who have
been intensely conservative, this question is
one of interest:-"Why has there so recently
sprung up through the northern States the de-
termination that henceforth there shall be
North--a party whose foundation and watch
word is freedom ," The answer at first
thought, is that it is because the Nebraska bill
has been passed. We wish to go further, and
inqre how this act could have produced such
a change. sffI
The constitution has been called compro-
mise and it is one. 1t was based on con-
viction of the Importance of the Union. The
Union was formed, and in the strength it Sc
cured to us as a nation, and in the blessingsit
conferred in a multitude of ways, the Union
became an object of the deepest love at the
North-of veneration so profound that it had
only imprecations for the hand that would
tear its bonds in sunder. This love of the
Union was appreciated by the South and has
been calculated upon, and practiced upon by
the South, in all its schemes for spreading the
domain of the slave Institution, and maintain
ing equality of slave power in the national
councils. Since the formation of the cousti-
tuition, this northern love of the Union has
| been the basis of every compromise-that is, it
| has been the basis of northern submission to
| the compromises, and of all the acquiscence
in national measures instituted for the bone-
fit Of the slave interest When in 1850, tho
South came to Washington with its already
| over ground axes to grind, the very first onset
consisted Of threats against the Union. They
| knew where the tender spot lay, and they
| plunged at it with an unerring aim at tho
outset The result is well known. The in
famous fugitive slave law was acquiesced in
by the North, not because the North was pro-
slavery, but because it could not give up its
burning love for the Union of these states.-
"lhus far for the sake of the Union, said the
| North, and the sacrifice it cost can never be
calculated. "Now," the North said, ''shall
there be peace"
But the Doughfaces, President Pierce, pres
idental aspiration, and the South, said s'no."
| This northern love of the Union will bear and
forbear still further. The interests of slavery
must be still further strengthened. Then was
sprung the hellish Nebraska scheme. Then
the national faith was broken i'll the obraga-
ton of a compromise in which freedom had
! made all the sacrifice, and slavery had secur-
ed all the benefit. The moral sense, of the
North was shocked, and then the value Of the
Union was calculated. The tree that had
been growing in the northern heart since the
Union was forme l. was wrenched to its fur
thernost roots. Then came upon it the storm
Of passlon excited BY the seizure of a poor 1gi
tive in Boston. the conversion of the courts
