change - marked upon its margin. We checrfully
complied with the request, for we want to know
what the South is doing and saying about the great
question, Of interest to us and to her. The paper
has maintained a remarkable quiet, and we had be-
gun to think that the agitation had not reached rs
far down rs Alabama. But IT,, following article
shows that we were quite mistaken in the estimate
of the chivaly Of our new acquaintance. We pub
lish the article for the benefit Of our northern Sub
missionists" whose character the Albanian does
not lar mistake when he says they will submit to
these and still further extortions.
The same paper says it can Earnestly and en-
Enthusiastically" support Willard Fillmore for the
next president. So the cx-president's southern
tour is not without its good fruits:
TIE DEMANDS OF TIE SOUTH UPON TIE
NORTH.
We cut the following from the Western Star, an
anti-slavcry paper published at Lebanon, Ohio:
Hence, odious and scNndalous as the demands
are, the South now ask of the Northern Democracy,
the acquisition of Cuba--by purchase or robbery
and its annexation to the United States rs two
slave Stntes-thc conquest of IIayti, Dominica and
Porto Rico and their annexation as slave States, af-
ter the reduction Of their inhabitants to slavery
the conquest or Turchase Of Mexican territory with
a view to the erection of slavc StateS-the change
Of California from n free to Il slave State-thc adj
mission Of New Mexico with a slave constitution
the admission of Utah into the confcdcracy with
its domestic institutions Of P~olygamy and Slavery,
in order to carry out the Douglas idea Of popular
sovereiguty-thc annexation of the Sandwich Is
lands with the intention of making slave states
the re-establishmcnt Of the African Sllyc Trade to
) stock the south with cheap negroes--a union with
Brazil to pcrpCtuate the African slave trade and,
as the Washington correspondent of the Philadcl-
l phia Gazette declares to be the fixed purpose of the
r South, viz ''thc passage of a sedition law by Con-
n gross which will prohibit public discussions ON the
/, subject Of slaycry-thc repeal Of all laws Of the
free States, prohibiting lie taking Of slaves and
= holding them there by citizens of slave Statcs-a
c destruction of the Democratic element in the Coy
crnncnt, as Incompatible with the safety and the
p interests Of the South and her institutions a prop
:, osition which involves the abolition of the House
Of Represcntatiyes-an extension of the powers OF
: the Senate, and a limitation of the number of Sen
h ators by cutting off the representation of part Of the
o Statcs-and, a modification of the form of govern
mcnt as will assimilate it to that of Venice, in
> which the patricians, represented by the Senate,
g shall exercise legislative and executive power"
We perfectly agree with the Star that these de-
Q mands are monstrous but monstrous as they are,
:. the North will have to submit to them, and more
too. For ourselves, we have always been a wing
anil Il union man or, as they used to call us in
lS50-5l, Il submissionist but since the North has
10 got to cutting up so many ~rustics, and making such
=, a id fuss generally about the passage of the Ne
braska foolery, we have got to be the awfullest kind
1t of n irc-eater; and we now not only insist upon
in the fulfllmcnt of the whole bill Of indictment as
X charged above by the Star, but the following spe.
.o cihcations likewise in addition thereto, viz the
g acquisition of all the West India islands, Yucca.
'e tan, Mexico, Australia and Africa. That Congress
O. shall forthwith pass a law, giving hundred dollars
bounty to every abolitiOnist that will steal q Niger
from Brazil, or any other foreign government, and
bring him into the United States and make q slave
of him. That California, Oregon, Ohio, Connecti
Is cut, and Massachusetts,, shall be erected into slave
States, or be turned out of the Union. That Con
gress shall also pass a law that every abolitionis'
and frce-soiler that dares to be a candidate fol-
u any Office either of honor, trust Or profit, shall BIZ
Immediately hung hp by the neck. That hereafter
nc no one shall ever be President of the United States
n or member of the Cabinet, or Governor of any
y, State, or foreign minister, or Charge d Affairs, OF
consul, or secretary Of legation, that has ever
been north of the Potomac, and that all the FREE
States shall be governed by viccroys or satraps ap
81 pointed by the South. That the fugitive slave law
VI shall be so amended, that for every slave that ha'
a. heretofore absconded, or that may hereafter abscOnt
a from the South, two other niggors shall be returned
" to the owner of each, and also SO II day for ever,
day that said slave may have been absent, to b.
paid out Of the pockets of those pious Yankee alb
olitionists whose ancestors used 10 steal ncgroe
TO from Africa, and bring them over to this countr,
he and sell them and the pockets Of Seward, Hale
tn Giddings, Wendell Philips, Chase, Wade, Gillette
bo Sumner, Lewis d. Campbell, and Theodore Parker
If these few trihing amendments are immcdiatel
W made to the constitution and legislation Ofthe cour
TX try, we don't know but we may be induced to IL
ID the Union stand a while longer. But we arc nc
he going to wait any length of time about it. 1t mus
=, be done Immediately, if not sooner. Perhaps, u
III IN reflection, we might consent to let the bount
m law, proposed above, stand in place Of the anncxa
Id ton Of Africa, as we are satisfied that if every abb
MS litionists was offered a hundred dollars for ever
niggcr he stole from Africa and brought to tn
'' South, we should soon have Just as many as W
DIV wanted.
a We candidly admit that these demands are MOI
strous. but still we insist upon them, and we ar
ill perfectly satisfied that the North will accept then
Tie truth is that men who stole niggers from Afr
ca seventy-ive or q hundred years ago, and brougl
On them over to this country and reduced them
cr- slavery, and who invented all the horrors of tn
on middle passage; who now think that they are d
,s ing God service when they can steal southern pro-
