The Seward Anti-sinvery Alliance. and Their
Humbug or the Restoration Of che Mus
a0url Line.
The new Northern Anti-Slavery Alliance,
which, in formal State convention in Ohio,
have just been christened "the republican
party" have invested their stock in trade In
The Kansas and Nebraska bill. Upon this SUBJ
ect they have resolved
LIST. That the Missouri restriction Of 1920,
prohibiting slavery north Of the geographical
line of Sc degrees 80 minutes shall be restored;
and they appear to be directing their efforts
mainly to this contamination.
"a. That whether the Kansas Nebraska bill
be Or not be repealed, no slave State shall be
admitted into the Union from any territory
north of the said Missouri line
Sd. That no more slave States shall be ad-
mitted into the Union from any territory
inside or outside of our present limits on
either side Of the aforesaid geographical line.
This covers the whole ground. These three
resolutions are equivalent to the three adopted
at a meeting of the early Puritan fathers of MAS
sachusetts- first: Resolved, that the earth is
the Lords, and the fitness thereof; second,
that the saints shall inherit the earth; third,
that we are the saints. The third resolution
absorbs tie merits of the whole question. But
the first avowed object Of our agitators and
demagogues of this piebald republican party
Of which Seward is the Amounted head, and
Joshua R. Giddings the whsking tail, is the
repeal of the Kansas Nebraska BILL and
the restoration of the Missouri line.
Gen. Wilson of Massachusetts,, COL Ford of
Ohio, Gov. johnson OF Pennsy lvania, and all
the anti slavery organs. pipelayers, colpor-
teurs, demagogues, fanatics, and old women,
all agree upon this point with w. IL. Seward,
| that the Missouri restriction must be restored,
so that, in the Territories OF Kansas and Ne
braska "there shall be neither slavery nor in
| voluntary servitude, except in the punishment
| OF crime" This restriction is to be restored
by Congress-. It's advocates assume that they
have secured the necessary majority in the
House of Representatives already, not only TO
| do the work, but to coerce the concur snce of
| the Senate
Their plan is somewhat fierce aud revolu.
tionary; but as violent diseases require violent
remedies, our leading niger worshippers as
sure US that the South will have to grin and
bear it. They simply propose to pass through
the House their bill restoring the Miss ,uri
line, and 10 withhold all bills OF supplies for
'he necessary expenses of the government
until the Senate shall come to their senses
and concur in the bill of freedom for Kansas
and Nebraska. That such q scheme rs this, il
persisted in, can result in any thing else THAI
an abrupt revolutionary dissolution of Con-
gress, no rational man, we presume, is pre-
pared to believe. That it will De persisted
| in, is scarcely probable-that q bill TO
restore the Missouri line can be passed
by the next House of Representatives is
exceedingly doubtful that it will be passed
we do not believe; and as for the restoration of
the Missouri line, now or hereafter it is about
/ as likely as the restoration Of the alien and
sedition laws Of the elder Adams, or the resto-
ration Of Texas or California to Mexico.
Since the passage of the Kansas Nebraska
bill, and under that constitutional provision Of
the act, which leaves the domestic institutions
of those Territories to be settled by the people
thereof, a considerable number Of emigrants
from the Southern States have settled in Kan
sas with their slaves. They are there, aud
Congress cannot touch them in any act wanton-
~ confscating their property. The slaves held
by settlers in Kansas, in the event of a change
in the organic law prohibiting slavery Their.
must be paid for, or their masters must be in
IDENTIFIED for all losses consequent upol their
removal from the Territory. The questions Of
the restoration of the Missouri line now, aud
the abolition Of slavery in the District OF Co
lumbia are in principle the same thug. We
conclude therefore, that this agitation Of the
restoration of the Missouri restriction is hum
bug, delusion and snare to catch SILLY
negro worshippers, upon the false pretence Of
immediate and practical anti slavery legisla.
ton.
But the followers Of our anti slavery dema
gogues ought to know better, for they are well
aware that II is no part of the policy of our
abolition ard free soil pbilanhropists, in any
case to indemnity the stakeholder for the loss
OF his slave property. 1t is their policy to rob
him of his slaves, and to excite them to flight,
to murder, and Instruction, rs the occa len
may require. Their object is not so much the
blessing of freedom to the Southern negro, as
the malicious spoiation Of his MASTER we may.
therefore, rest assured that, as the restoration
Of the Missouri line must involve bill Of in
IDENTITIES to the slaveholdiag settlers ia Kan
as, there win be no serious effort in Congress
by our negro worshippcfs to carry the mea-
ure
| All this threatening and clustering, then, of
the mounting orators and organs of the anti
Slavery Holy Alliance, concerning the restora-
ton of the Missouri black line, is all mere rant,
cant, and deception. The Kansas and Nebraska
law will stand. The question of slavery in
those Territories will continue to rest with the
people thereof; and when they shall assume the
