Another Crisis.

II IL Is aSOertalneQ CHat the recent
! eleetions irlthe Northern States have
resulted in the overthrow of the
Democratic party; but the full sig
Inifcance Of the fact cannot be I'M

circumstances oftbe canvass.

ftion was no sooner effected, than al
agitation for it's restoration was or.
gained throughout the Nertherr
States ] q respect both to the. ,ex
tent of its operations and the inten.
sity with which it ragged, this agita.
ton surpassed every antecedent an.
ti-slavery movement. Every party
and faction in the North, suspended
itspeeuliar 7jaklousies and aims. and
merged it's iRdividual existence in the
| great confedracy against the De-
mocracy. Wings, FreesoiIers, Know
lNothfngs, and Maine Law men, we're
associated H. The enterprise and cor
daily co-opefated in pursuit of a
common object. : -
The immediate aim of the coali-
ttion was to secure representation
in Congress, but their subsequent
movements were determined and
proclaimed in advance. These are
the restoration of the Missouri re-
striction, the repeal of the fugitive
slave law, and the establishment OF
THE principle that no more slave
States are to be admitted into The
Union. Upon these issues the re-
cent elections in the North we're sus-
pended, and the result satisfies US
that an effort will be made to carry
out the policy of the coalition.
1t is time the people of the South
were preparing to resist this medita-
ted assault upon their rights and in
lstitutions. We are admonished of
the designs of our enemy, and we
have abundant opportunity for re-
Election and preparation.
1t is an indisputable fact that the
freverses which the South has hereto
fore sustained, we're preeipitated up
on it by the divisions and disseh-
tons OF its, own people. In no sim
gle struggle with Abolitionism, has
the South beer thoroughly awak-
ened and united. The nearest ap-
proach to dfanimity was in the re-
cent contestitouching the Nebraska
bill, and the issue Of that struggle
should teach Southern men the net
eessity Of harmony, andinspire them
with confidence IN their strength
when aroused and concentrated If
We are true. to oursel Yes, we will COM
mand the sympathy and support Of
the patriots Of the North, and will
appal our enemies by an aspect OF
perfect unanimity, and of resolute
devotion to our rights. Congress
would not dare to enact a measure
against which the South protested |
with united voice.
In view, then, of the crisis before
us, it is of the first importance that
men of all parties in the South, profit
ing by the example Of the enemy,
should SO arfsuspend their mutual
hostilities, as to unite in q resolute
resistance to the threatened attack
of the Abolitionists. Every Southern
representative in Congress should
oppose the reenaetment of the Mis-
souri, restriction; for, Whatever may
be his view of the policy Of its re-
peal, be cannot cooperate with the
Abolitionists in the attempt to i'm
pose itaupon the South again. BY s
concession it was unjust to t
he South in the first instance, and a
t is certainly notices. offensive since j
has been incorporat ted in platform a

o the projected repeal of the Fugi- J
i've Slave Law, and the exclusion of e
lave States from The Union, the rep u
esentatives and the people of the h
'outh will be animated by a common ii
npulse of determined resistance. tt
