The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1855-05-26

Even 80 late as fTeO South Carolina endeav-
ored to check the slave traffic, but the policy
If England forced IL ON her Colonies In 1895
IN New Hampshire and Connecticut, institutions
Of instruction to which colorcd pupils were adj
mtted, where put down by legislation and pop
Mar violence. In that year the New York
anti slavery society institution was mobbcd, a
meeting of refined ladies in Boston was Illegal
" dispersed by mob Of law abiding Mass
achusetts gentlemen and Lloyd Garrison was
dragfied through the streets Of that city State
legislatures at the North passed resolutions
against anti-savery agitation; and Gen. Pierce
declared, yes, Gen. Pierce declared, that only a
few women, children and priests had any sympa-
thy with the fanaticism Of Abolitionists. Proba-
bly Gen. Pierce has recently had occasion to
change that opinion. But the true men Of that
day knew that the war was not one OF men but Of
ideas and principles; they knew that the right
should triumph, and they persevered. When
those DAYS came which true Americans can
never remember without blush-whcn old pol
iticians went through the land invoking the
people to conquer their prejudices' when
Castle Garden Union Committee sat, there was
still true men to be found, and New York
merchant declared that his goods, not his prin-
ciples were for sale. The perpetrators of the
Nebraska iniquity have gone down before the
stormy wrath Of the betrayed people. We
have had in America Gas in Francc) the reyo-
luton Of conscience and the revolution of con-
tempt, and before the latter the administration
Of President Pierce has gone down. New
Hampshire, which in 1886 removed an insti-
tuition of learning because 1t sheltered colored
pupils, has given in 1855, $4,000 yotes-that
is 10000 Of a popular majority -to send three
Abolitonists to Congress-. aH lA
| The very town where the outrage was COM
mitted in 1885 has given majority to send
John p. Hale to the United States Senate
And so in Connecticut and Massachusetts the
popular sentiment shows its change by equally
striking manifestations Massachusetts, has dis
missed from her bench the man who gave a
man to Virginia man-stealer. In your own
city, where are the men who were false tofree-
dom? But John p Wheeler who showed
himself worthy, has received his desert. IT'S
the same in Ohio and other states. IT'S nine
teen years since | stood in the National Capital
beside Williams slaye-pcn. There saw men
women and children chained, and heard their
groans. A short time ago / stood on the same
spot, but the slave pen was no longer there;
in its place was garden and sign hung there
" Flowers for sale and boquets made TO order"
| hope but few years more shall pass until ey-
cry spot wherever the groans of human bond
age are heard shall be a garden in which
the blossoms of freedom shall make glad the
eye, and the accents Of hope delight the ear.
The present administration has been defeat
ed in every State in the North and predict it
shall be so throughout the South. Let any
party, be it Democratic Wing, or American,
raise finger to repress the anti-slavery move
ment, and it is sure to die
We believe in the old Calyanistc doctrine
of immediate rcdemption-yes and of election
too. An organization that shall be truly Amer
lean and Democratic, embracing in its affection
the people of the whole country, and the peo-
pie Of every color Such party might well
; be deemed powerful. But if there be any who
hope to organize such a party, to go into pow
err in 1856, without being anti-slayery, ! ask
them to go back seven years, and to see how,
when the Wing party in AS hooted antslayc-
ry out of its convention, it thenceforth beg an
to die. Rtz3'ts@
