II is easy to see that the spirit which per-
vades this paragraph, is identical with that
which animated the respectable Tories OF the
Revolution. They earnestly and to the best
Of their ability opposed the oppressive meas
ures Of the British Government; but when
the hour came for deciding between submission
and resistance, they submitted SICK OF agi-
tation, they could imagine no good OF suftcient
value to compensate for the evils to be appre-
hended from resistance.
We should like these submissionists to tell
us, how far they intend to endure Is there
any limit to their forboarancef They gave
up the Wilmot Proviso in 1850, submitted to
an inhuman Fugitive Slave Act assuring the
country that all would now be well--the voice
Of sectional discord was huahed-perpetuai
peace was established between North and
South--Slavery and Liberty might feed in the
same fold, and lie down together like the lion
and the lamb. 10 less than four years, their
predictions were falsifed--new SACRIFICES were
demanded at their hands-the Missouri Com
promise, which they had regarded as sacred
as the Constitution itself, must be repealed.
They earnestly opposed the measure--said it
was bad faith, that they had been cheated--it
was scandalOus to require this dlsh0noraDie
concession at their hands. But, it was repeal
ed--and now, they preach aequ'eseence Smlt-
ten on the one cheek, they turned the other
smitten on both, they now bare their backs to
their oppressors, and crouch at their feet. 10
there any aggression such men will not acqui-
esce in? Any infection they will not endure
ANY deed OF shame that can bring the blush
to their checks?
What deepens the odium of their course Is,
that they offend with their eyes wide open
to the consequences. This slaveholding Oligar-
chy, which has repealed the Compromise, tells
them plainly, that il intended BY that act
to establish the Principle that Slavery is law
ful anywhere within the jurisdiction Of the
General Government, 80 that, whatever acquisi-
tions Of Territory should be made hereafter, it
might have free course in them, without CON-
troversy that the act was further designed to
prepare the Northern mind for the thick-com-
ing events of the Future, such as the annexa-
ton of Cuba, the gradual absorption OF 80
much Of Mexico az could be converted to the
uses OF Slavery, the subjugation Of Hayti and
an alliance with Brazil so as to bring North
and South America with their adjacent islands,
under the overshadowing power of gigantic
Slave Empire These men know that this afro
cious scheme is cherished by the Oligarchy, to
which they are urging submission they know
that at this moment, the proposition is under
consideration among its leaders to obtain Cuba
if possible, forcibly if necessary. In
preaching acquiescence under such crcum-
stances they are traitors to Liberty, traitors to
the free States, traitors to the rights and in
terests Of all our People, not Interested in
slaveholding, traitors to mankind-Tories in
heart and in position.
As to the Inteligeneer, which, being South
ern paper, cannot be cassed with the journal
just referred to, will it tell us what tissue ought
to be made in the popular elections about to
take place in the free States? What has the
Administration done, but nullify the Missouri
Compromise What does the Administration
design to do, but execute the schemes of the
Slavery Propaganda! What Question is there
before the country, but the Slavery Question ?
and who has forced it upon the country
What then would the Inteligsncer wish Ito
see the People Of the North falling back into
their old organizations, returning to Congress
the forty-fve men who betrayed them, and
giving four years more to an Administration
that has repealed the Missouri Compromise,
laid open all our Territories to Slavery, and is
seriously meditating war with Spain for the
acquisition of Cuba? Does it expect, does it
desire them, to reward Treason, to stamp with
their appreciation, bad Faith to offer pre-
MUM to Slavery Propagandism, to breathe
new life and power into men who have con-
vulscd the country with discord, and fearfully
alenated from each other the different sections
of the Unionl Or, would it have them bring
into power another acquiescent Wing Admin
istration, so-called, such as cursed the Nation
with the Fugitive Slave Act and 30 democrat
lied it on the question Of Slavery, as TO prepare
the way for another Administration openly
committed TO tho propagation of Slavery as
well as tho maintenance of the Slave Power?
Whatever the Infeihgenesr may desire, the
People Of the FREQ States, we trust, are at least
too much aroused to be again deceived If
true to themselves in this dark hour, they viii
execute Judgment upon every member of Con-
gress who. has been disloysl to Freedom, and
install An Administration in Washington just
as Anti Slavery as the present Administration
is Pro-Slavery. Only in this way, can they
secure indemnity for the Past, and satisfactory
guarantees for the Future.
OF course, there will be struggle before
this oan be accomplished Old parties will be
disorganized new combinations formed the
Press will thunder; sectional Discord life its
