determined to conquer than at present.
Every step they take with the view OF
advancing any public measure, is care
fully guarded, as it regards the interests
of slavery. No man hereafter will re-
ceiYe the support of shareholders, on
whom rests breath of suspicion of hos
tiiity to the peculiar institution. Cold
hearted CONSERVATIVES" are no longer
going to satisfy the imperious demands
of the slaveholding oligarchy. They
must have men who are actually and un-
mistakeably committed in favor of their
peculiar views. They will not yield an
inch of ground, as long as they have any
hope of success. They are determined
to appeal to the cupidity, and attack the
pockets of the monied men in the North,
and to read out of the Union, finally,
such States as obstinately persist in op-
posing the aggressions of slavery. The
Richmond Enquirer advocates the expul-
sion of the Massachusetts, delegation from
the next Congress; and the Louisville
journal suggests the laying of a prohibi-
tory duty on all goods imported from
this obnoxious State into the slave States.
Tie Charleston Mercury, filed with the
inspiration O. that makes the. "pen" Of
a Shareholder eloquent" gives vent to-
It's ''pent up" feelings as follows:
1.-The restorationo of the Missouri Com
promise line is the next feature in the
programme. For thirty years has this
stigma of the South's first submission
been upon us. For thirty years the
waves OF Southern colonization have beat
against this barrier raised by Southern
hands, and been turned back. Still con-
senting to its inequality and wrong, the
South again, and again rendered it to the
North as a settlement to the Pacific. But
it was always refused. 1t stood until at
the instance of Northern men it was re-
pealed by the NebraskaKansas BILL
What is the consequence? Kansas, a
region suited in all respects for slavery,
is thrown open to the South. The North
grows furious at the thought. And now
the contest opens. Hireling emigrants
are poured in to exiinguish this new hope
of the South. But true to their institu-
tons and their homes, the Missourians
prepare for the struggle. Away from
the old centers of sectional strife, far of
in the fair fields of Kansas, the North
and the South. fanaticism and slavery,
meet face to face. Il was mortal strus :
gle, and slavery conquered.
"The result has deepened the hostility
of the North. They demand m louder
and fiercer tones than ever, the restora-
ton of the Missouri line; and Kansas is
10 be excluded unless she abolish slavery.
1t is the highest and most aggressive
policy yet taken by abolition. ltis prac-
tical and lnomenlous, in all its bearings.
Its decision against us settles the fate OF
Southern pregresS-settles the superior
ity and domination of the North, and
seals the ultimate doom of slavery. Ii
involves an issue as momentous as any
that can come upon a people. 1t con-
tains the matured fruits of all the hostil-
lily, sectional avatice and fanaticisnl,
which, watered BY compromises and sub
mission, have been terminating for our
destruction since the foundation of the
Government. The repeal of the Fugi-
tive Slave law, the restoration of the
Missouri line, and the rejection of Kansas
as slave State, with other measures
noticed, constitute the platform of Abo-
iition.
What then do the necessities of the
South require at the hands of every party
bidding for her support? What has she
a right to demand? Not silence, not
suspicious reserve, but full and explicit
declarations in her favor upon the issues
which are before the country If they
intend to be true to her, let the as
surances be given. Let them come up
aud meet fairly the Fugitive law, the
Missouri line and Kansas questions, and
declare in the face of the world whether
they abe with US or against u.s. But il
the North refuses TO do this, it will be
because she no longer regards our rights,
our fayors, or our threats, and because,
believing herself strong enough, she has
resolved to sweep on to the fulhlment of
her long settled policy
There is no use in politicians, who are
out of business and out of Office, eonjur-
ing up new issues for the coming con-
test. Men, who are faithful to the inser-
ests of the country, will find need of all
their energies, to preserve inyiola.e oul
free Institutions. And there must be
united effort on the part tof the opponents
of slavery in the North. They must moi
waste. their strength in warning with each
other in regard TO minor matters. Ii the
opponents of slavery "fall out by the
