democrats needed no assurance
NASHVILLE, May 30, 1855.
All wise good should depore the starting of
questions and issues to distract the attention of our southern
people the present There is not now and
really be, but great and absorbing question for the
consideration Of the South the question of efpreservaon
she lose twelve hundred millions of slave property
and live but poverty aud dhonor. The very next
sion Of Congress opens the grand attack upon her, and it
will require the united and harmonious cooperation of every
of every party to make good her defence. Now the
readiness with which many of people have into
this know nothing without nquirng where it
to lead them, fear is indication that they are not
the dangers that threaten them Indifferent
the dreadful results Still, must not despair. II they
heed the thunder the distance perhaps they awake
when it breaks in awful peals their heads.
In no State of the South least, have been
dangered by the Catholic foreigner Neither the
the other has denied invaded rights under the
constitution. Where few solitary exceptions to this
mark may be pointed out point to hundreds and
thousands in the North natveborn Professionals too, who
and yet daily putting the constitution aside and
numbering people for other crime than attempting
lawfully to reclaim their property. At this moment
years back the abotonist and feesoIer hates and
abhors his native brethren the South than he
hates Catholic foreigner Put to him the question
which he had rather prevent from voting hold
ing occthe Catholic and foreigner, the stakeholder
the South and he will tell you the stakeholder. Indeed
this against these two prescribed classes is only
made the tst step the final Acknowledgement of the
STAKEHOLDER The great and weight of democracy has
the southern avehodng States 1t has been
from the parties first formed in the days of eer
son and elder Adams The fact that foreigners both
Proestan and Catholics after becoming naturazed have
commonly universally by any means) voted with
the democratic party has engendered all this hostility
them They regard them having sustained the institution
Of slavery because they sustained the democratic party
stng mainly the slave States To get clear Of the for
egner is therefore, in their vew to get clear Of democracy
and thus get clear of the accursed stakeholder Suc
the reasoning of the fanatic and bgot
Let that these the motives prompting
this nerous movement but that the be found
in commendabe zeal for and vital religion land
Why notorious that Of undoubed pety have had
the least to do with the mummeries and prosecutions of the
new order. Look around you and how many councils
have been founded by grave and pious individuals Who
it that has from distant quarters to organize and in
tate7 Who they that observed in close and per-
suasions the Inexperienced forward and be admit
ted Not the moral and religious but the notoousy
cody, who before exhibited any respect for
gion, and who indeed know and nothing about it,
II any shall think of the Of this that minister
Of the Gospel who has joined the ORDER the exception does
not overurn, but confirms the rule All ministers
pious and may administer receive the horid
voluntary osths in who yet publicly incucate the
Scriptural Injunction sswear not at all You know
