ing Of the North has obtained . series OF COM
nroynise,. each one abstrsctng from liberty and
adding to Slavery. And so We may go on with
silence and submission, or what Is tho same
thing. such weak and innocuous expostulati,ns
az those of The Courier, till slave roll-call is
made from Bunker Hill, and the bay Of the
bloodhound and the fame Of the ncgro-pyre
echoes and blazes over Niagara's cliffs.
The Courier and Enquirer long since belonged
TO the party of Union Savers and Compromises.
1t hoped and believed that the Fugitive Slave
law, which turned the free North into man
hunting ground, would assuage for all time the
qriefs and distractions Of the Republic. What
is the harvest of that salvationl Kansas and
Nebraska thunder back to such compromise
whimperipgs. Even Castle Garden is at last
tongue-paralyzed, or tells US in such lmpd
reneralties as The Courier uses toward the
South, that "the passage of the Nebraska bill
was an act which cannot be forgotten; and it
should be remembered that it aroused feel
{. ing in the North which cannot be allayed until
the Missouri Compromise is restored"
That aroused feeling was not due to Union
savers by profession, but to the independent
anti-slavery press, having then at last the ear of
all the Northern public, which felt that that
press alone had penetrated the true character
of Slayery-as an institution utterly aggressive,
interruptions and fathless in its character;
whose upholders mistake the long. suffering and
forbearance Of the North for cowardice and fear
of the chivalry, and just in proportion as they
are not met with manly defiance and resistance
will swagger and threaten, and dissolve the
Union on paper forever.
For them and their threats we entertain
neither respect nor fear. We shall continue to
reveal and chastisc the atrocities of Slavery
which makes animals of men and then burns
them alive at the stake for crimes solely due to
the bsrbarism of the governing powers; which
hunts them now with bloodhounds to the borders
of the Free States, and threatens soon to make
the most sacred fields of Liberty the plains of
despotism, resonant with the overseer's lash, as
it has already begrimed the historical associa-
tions of Bunker Hill and Independence Square
with the deeds of a Hallett and an lngraham.
The press of Kentucky and Mississippi may join
The Courier in anger and lamentation that such
revelations should be made; but on tho other
hand we have the satisfaction of knowing that
many an otherwise helpless son of bondage will
hear, not without emotion, the name of TIE
TRIBUNE and will feel that there is a distant
power which watches and Furnishes where law
is powerless and conscience extinct.
As for that great resource of che Boohoos
the menace of dissolving the Union, we warn
them that this cry has lost its efficacy. Nobody
is frightened by it now. Besides, it is well un-
derstood that the profit of the Union is all on
the side of the South, its estimsbe value to
each Northern man being just forty cents, while
to the STAKEHOLDER it is incalculable. The Union
will never be dissolved till the North dissolves
it. Meantime we shall continue to set forth the
moral deformities of an alliance with the South
on the old terms of Northern meanness, push
Ianimity, entreaty and oncession-answered BY
Southern insolence, monopoly, aggression, land
piracy and the ethics of cut-throats and high
waymen as just exhibited in Kansas.
