THE TREAsONABLE AND MONARCHICAL PURPOSES
OF NORTHERN WHIGGERY.-A WORD TO OUR
CoUNTRYMEN. a.pg- t5sta-rl8 rsasT
As we observe the desperate e1pedents and ingenious
aevolence the whigs-especsly when they out Of
powerwe often tempted 70 ask ourselves whether
they dangerous in possession of the government
outside and disappointed oppos~S- History has
done them justice in both Positions but their present
schemes holder than usual and may well challenge
comparison with their preceding plots against the character
and the peace of the republic The fact most prominent and
indJab at this hour that anatcism, whher wholl
political relgiousoltiea could obtain ootod d
for the immediate, egsciiue and public support Of the
northern rhigs We not how monstrous the design,
wing leaders ready to second if promises crop of
victories the baot-boxes What the notorious exist
ing state hings We the northern wings unreserved
ly committed party to the reasonable doctrine of al
lowing slave States be admitted into the Union
and them adding this sentiment the other idea
that the fugvesave law must DO repealed Who objects
to this in the whole of the whg party North? What Hen
ry Clay whig2 What Daniel Webster whigY What con-
servative whig2 If there is exceptional case his pro-
is denounced in the indignant acclaim, of his fell
low-parsans in favor of these intames But what else
From the cauldron in which these posons admixed
another revolving dogma arisehe dogma of religious
intolerance and in this scheme the wing party of
the North suddenly, largely and publicly taking part
We assert that the Of either Of these doctrines
either the abolition the ntolerant dea--would be the
destruction of free system of government No man
suppose that the South would hesitate about her
the moment she became the nsulted dependant
and inferior OF the North. There is mod
crate in the slave States is fanatic in
the Norhthat will doubt to his heart that dsunion
Immediate and fearful would follow upon the of the
present abolition and northern whg declarations in regard
to the question slavery And when the practical exclusion
of respectable citizens from Office because of the place Of
birth of themselves their parents and because of their
religious opinion shall succeed, Spain will surpass in
her republican practices and shall find apt in
The military example of Louis Napoleon ta
And it is to accomplish these two degradaonsto take
TWO steps, the directly civil war, anarchy,
complete and violent dissolution the other the sacrifice
of religious liberty and political equnlityhat we are
now called upon TO fcrsake the democratic party to
buke the South rcpudiae the administration and to
give power to the greatest gangs Of political prostitutes
mat nafe ever peeI hurried INTO deserved minority
Weare told however designs will succeed
What then those who follow them but dupes2 Or will
these he taught fatal consequences of their in
fatuation But who supposes that Greeley is not n
est i'll his unceasng anahemas and insults, and false
hoods against the Souh2 Who supposes that he has
worked himself into sort Of methodical madness that
slavery must go down at all hazards Union Union
We have seen how far abolition will go and have read
how far the human species may be excited into ferocy
more fearful because disciplined than the wild beasts
Of the forest Let abolition strike the blow fire the
train and its present leaders could resist the
suits than they could guide the vewless couries of the
air Success them would be accomplished amid all the
horrors of serve and civil and failure would leave
those who embarked in this well in the crusade
intolerance objects for ridcue while civilization endured
The future will have other sequel but disaster and
blood or shameful and everlasting failure What Amcri-
desires to share the ignominy of either? H'ss
