The foregoing fsnstieal eifasion appeared ~
several of the New York papers of last Saturday
Ii will strike no terror to the steady heart aud
calm conscience of the South. The very eKigen-
origin was an unnatural and atrecious attempt
by the non slayehoding states TO wrong aud
humble and dcfrand the South. Submission to
that compromise by the slayeholding states was
an unexampled act of forbearanee and eonoilia-
ton. 1t was submitted to patiently and faithful
lytl the legislation of 1850 deprived il of all life
and virtue. and established principle in direct
contrayention of it, Even then the South did
not move-but left to the north the recognition
Of the obvious result of that Legislation. To have
attempted to maintain the principle of the Mis-
sour compromise and the principle Of the cum
promise Of 1850. at the same time, would have
been an atiemp, to unite things that could not
co-exist. Opposites in nature morals--life
and death, light and darkness-right and wrong,
are not more incongruous and uneongenial than
the Intervention of the Missouri compromise and
the non-intorvention of the compromise of 1850.
This, Mr. Douglas and others saw and were dis
posed to admit. The Nebraska bill is nothing
more than a formal and statutory acknowledg-
ross 20 hot IN fact is apparent day. Of
minds besotted with prejudice ana u, Ia
natioism-from judgments steepd with ignorance
and bigotry-we do not expect the capacity TO
see the truth, or the honesty to confess II when
seen. Doubtless the doipgs of as, Saturday
night In the New York Park exhibited about an
equal amount of insanity and treason. If il were
only madness, the South could pity it, if it were all
knavishness, the South could ohsstise it-but
mixed Of all the elements Of human weakness
and wckedness, she wil only laugh at it--the
more. because of the idiotic and craven threat
of resorting,f need be, to extreme measures"
For our part, we take no little pleasure in all
this wineing and whining and bowling Of the alb
clifton pack. They have yelped at the heels Of
the South long, that there Is music in the
change Of note when at last the white-liYered
ours are kicked and eudgeed.
As an evidence of the failure of the inoendiary
appeal, we have given above to oyerawe those of
the North who are faithful to the constitution
and just to the South, we give the notice of the
movement taken by the New York Herald
The real orgnators of the meeting of this af-
ternoon-the only people who have anything TO
gain by it-are such men Seward, Garrison
and Greeley. They have thrown argument to the
dogs long since. Reason will suit their cause no
more. They must other weapons At Wash
ington they are trying to weary out the patience
of their adyersaries, and to call III hunger and
sleep to their aid. Conceive the iustce of a cause
the House TO sit for thirty six hoursl Here, we
have all manner of panaceas for the case. Sew
ard thinks nothing can the country but his
Presidency. Garrison will be satisfied with moth
ing but disunion Greeley goes for all of these,
but superadds the notion of burning the Capitol
and destroying its inmates. 1t is with view to
carry out this scheme that the meeting of this af
ternoon has been called. The shocking injustice
about to be practised on the North will be dlated
on in the ears of an infamed multitude, and Mr..
Greeley's scheme will not lack sympathizers.-
We have incendiaries enough for the purpose
here. A body of men could easily be organized
TO start in the first train for Washington, so as to
burn the Capitol on Monday evening. They
might be allowed the clothes and property of mem
beers as their usual fee in such eases. The Capitol
in ashes and Congress dissolved by the destruc-
ton of its members,it is considered that Mr.. Sew
ards Presidency, and Mr.. Greeey's Secretary
ship would be good as settled. 1t is for this that
the meeting Of to-day is called
The National Bear Garden.
