The Feliciana Democrat., 1855-11-24


sion of the constitution together with its own
throw Then the Shareholders would perish In the
struggle. The change can now be made without vi
olcnce, and by the agency of the ballot box. The
temper of the nation is just liberal, aud iorbcaring
1t will contribute any money, and endure any sacri-
fees to effect this great and important change; in
deed II is made already. The house OF representa-
tives Is already yours, as 1t always must DC Wnen
you choose to have 1t. The Senate OF the United
States is equally within your power II you only
will act persistently for two years to have II. Not
withstanding all the wrong that has been DONE not
another slave state can come into the Union. Make
only one years constant decisive esrt and you can
determine what states shall be admitted"
In view Of this new organization at the
north,, and commenting upon it in Faneuil
Hall, and the speech of Mr. Seward, Mr..
Choate, of Massachusetts, the great whig
statesman upon whom the mantle of the
mighty Webster is said to have fallen, says
most emphatically.
ar the ingenuity of hell were tasked for device
to.alenate and rcnd assunder our immature and ar
tifcal nationality, Ii could devise nothing so ciiec-
tual take my stand here! resist and depresatc
the mere attempt to form the party. The basis of
the organization is reciprocal sectional hate. do
not expect to live to II succeed in Its grasp at
power. am sure hope shall not but see the
attempt making. I thing ! see the dreadful iniin-
ence Of such an attempt"
Here is the warning Of patriot, one whose
position ut the north, enables him to Judge the
subject fairly and impartially.
Know nothings Of the south, are you so
blind to truth, reason, and your own dearest
rights, as not to see and feel the truth Of what
this great northern whig statesman, 50 forcibly
portrays? Will you read the speeches Of the
great leader Of this new organization, Wilson,
and Seward, as we have faithfully transcribed
portions Of them in this article, and not see and
feel that the Uniou is in danger The facts to
which We have referred in regard to the Am
erican party north, you must know, are not
misrepresentod. Then how can you Justify
yourselves in keeping up an organization at
the south, which can only result, il successful,
in ruin to yourselves and your fellow country
men, whose interests and yours are SO intimate
ly blended, that the one can not be injured,
without the other being involved? I? You must
know there is but one national party at this
time in the whole Union. This, the most en-
inent statesmen of the Wing party, and many
of the Wing presses, boldly and canddly adj
nit to be the democratic party. You must
know and feel, that no party is worthy of sup.
port, that is not national. You are bound to
know that the American party is not, nor ncy.
er can be national. 1t is a complete failure
az very many of its former friends and advs
Gates admit. Then why persist in your oppo
sition at this time, to the only party that can
save the union from destruction, and preserve
your constitutional rights of person, property,
and political equality You can do nothing
yourselves but weaken, and perhaps defeat the
democratic party, and thcrebyindirectly aid the
efforts of Seward, Wilson, and that black re
publican crew, in their unholy designs to de
stroy the Union. Never did greater response
ty rest upon You than at the present crisis.
