THE DEMOCRATIC pARTx

HE DEAuthAIiI PARTY,
In a short article last week we expressed our =
that the hopes Of cur Union rested on he a,,,.
party especially the democratic party o. The ~,
whig party as a national party has totally dsb.sa.
few, who cling to the memories Of great aam.s ~
political victories and cali themselves soatGsa,,
cannot long, with any consistency, preserve the, ~
position. They, II they would eject anything ~.
must cast ia their lot with the great democratic y.
both the North and the South, which aloae can ~.
tide Of fanatiesm and sectionallsm which thrca,es
merge the fabric Of our constitution All who raj,
ISL the Union OF these States win fad thenasclyes -,
to enlist under the banner of the democratic par,r
when Ne speak OF The Onion, we mean the rnios :
and sovereign States. Let no one imagine that n.
win any longer remain IN q Union where her ~,
not respected aud where the constitutional el,ays
ford her no security. The South asks nothing ma,
equal rights; this much she demands less than 4,
will not hear Of 1.-THE northern people persua5, 4
selves that we Of the South win ever again sals,s
Missouri restriction they win dnd themselves mot !,
ously mistaken Once Ia an evil hour We submi,,S
since We have never ceased to eat the bitter fruits s
ing made surrender Of principles. Tho disgaa =
Missouri restriction has been blotlea from the sta.
and can never be replaced On that 'saAd-polr, !.
southern STATE is firmly resolved. We eoaseieu,ios,
lieyc chat ia 40 other way can the Onion he psyu
stution is because we believe that they respect oa
and guard privileges &c both sections Of the m
saorsdly respect that Instrument there is no further
sity for compromise surrender Of principle or resrc
OF any kind whatsoever The only mode by which ~
individuals or States preserve their selercspsct
respect Of Others, Is to maintain their rights The uO
people themselves would despiso II we tamey subn
10 the demands aud usurpatious Of the abolitioasa
the free-solers Even northern paper the Day Book
lished In the city OF New York staanch democratic ~
tells the northern people that they must make up
mind to 20 to Kansas with rifle aud bowe-knie N
expect to force another Missouri line OF restriction
the people Of the South. The whole tone and temper
article is much in accordance with our own views
we cannot refrain from giving il entire to oar uaa
Though short il is 10 the point and ID worthy Of ps
Coming IL does from northern source Il Is TIE m
worthy Of our consideration as showing that some pa
at least of the democratic party Of the North remains
to the constitution and the rights of the South
Asri-sLAvRay,-If any one has any doubts about !
Courier and Enquirer-whose editor il warm EersO
friend OF Senator Sewaid-beng inclined TO Aid ana !
courage the abolitonists let such read The la
editorial in that paper Of to-day The Garrison aho
lists DO things openly and above board the wings @s
ever OF the Courier stamp, though aiming NJ the
act covertly and with deceit The Courier in prstas
to give for the rampantncss Of the an,slau
men, really jushes aud encourages it, 1t tells The aaa
erners that they have been the OF all his heas
they asked and obtained long withheld right and "a
demands OF them surrender OF that right again and.
threa, Of the whole North going to the ahctouaa
lntimang that it, the Courier and Enquirer viii % "a
asserting the tiine that IL ii not antsas
paper We the editor Of the Courier that z
partaty TO VIM. H. Seward is too well known ID II
community for such threats TO have any effect and
as for the South ever again submitting TO Missouri
Of restriction its people will resign every political Id
first and become the slaves and vassas OF northern na
The restoration of the Missouri line Is among the mps
bities Of the future, and those who talk about INA
make up their minds fully to go 10 Kansas with rifle ~
revolver and fight for il.
II Kansas when she becomes State, chooses 10 tsa
the existence of slavery very well no one will oss.l
But the South win never consent that Massachusetts
New York. any other State shall control her d@tas
Let Kansas alone say they, and we will but step v
foot the line to make laws for her and you viii
us there to meet you.
But there is danger from Garrison, or Tappan, o. VI
editor OF the Courier and Enquirer There plcnN
strong and stout honest hearts in the North I
these in their places. and whenever they atiemN
put their threats of disunon and force into execution Thy
will find whole army of democratic, unon-loyag nD
diers ready at The tap of the drum to oppose them.
These men talk about fighting for negroes. WhY then
h not one OF them that would stand charge Of rggc
Mexicans for all the negroes In Chrstcndom, and Their
just about much OF chance Of their going 20 kansH
fight there is of their going to the moon TO bob IL
cells.
There il a danger however, that with the help II.
know-noihings, enough of them will get into Conga
pass such laws the South will never submit to- and ax
northern whig executive viii. call out the army and
TO compel submission. When this state Of things
brought about and it is precisely what the Metropolis
meeting folks striving for, then farewell 10 the uaa
To this scheme the democratic party alone stands op
and 10 it is the hope Of the Union. Let every loyefo
country and the Union If he would from civil
and all its attending horrors enrol himself at once @
the democratic banner which mas those memorable wos
cmbazoned in letters flight on its folds.-Ths tm@
