THE CRISIS.
When the wicked conspire good men should combine.
Ii Is now that all lovers Of constitutional liberty all
supporters Of the union Of these States should act in
cert for since the dark days that Immediately pre-
ceded the adoption Of the constitution has there been so
much danger Of collision between the independent
eighties that form the powerful empire known TO the world
as the United States. We no alarmists nor do we
seek to create undue excitement by the dissemination
OF hypothetical dangers The approaching crisis is TOO
patent the per that environ near to require
the eooring Of romance The paines truth Of itself
awaken most fearful apprehensons.
One branch of our national government is in state OF
revolution The interests Ct the countryits extensive
commerce, its great and growing enterprise its
picatons Of labor and industry its reputation at home
aud abroadare reckessy eoparded by the reasonable
course OF the socaed representatives of the people at
Washington And for what To subserve the insane ar
bition OF geographical partya party of sectionsa
rule-orrun party. The destiny of the country is sus-
pended It's various locked up while demagogues
abuse their rash delegated powers and violate the trust
of their too confding constituents
The democratic party is represented in the House by
scarcely more than third of its numerical strength Upon
them therefore be charged the opprobum OF the
delay in its organization Compact faithful and confident
in the purity of their purposes the members of party
seek no alliance with any OF the dsointed fragments OPP
propose merely personal ends All they aim at is
organization national principles to carry out national
aggrandzement They therefore, reject all propositions
that look temporary qualification and throw upon fac
tous opposition the responsibility Of inacton.
If this disorganizaton and consequent revolution ended
hereif it merely delayed the action of Congress-we
could quiet fears The healthfu operation of the
of country prosperity may be interrupted is
true by this gangrene forming our political organza
on but cannot be destroyed nor indeed, for long time
suspended There too much vitality in democratic
principles much redeemng in the people, too
and ghtened interests at stake to be annhated
by the conduct however reckless of abandoned dema-
gogues Our apprehensons have wider range and a
deeper foundation We fear that this reckless spirit of
onalism displayed the floor of the House is dagno-
sis of the diseased mind of large portion of the consttu
cncy; that feeling of alienation and distrus growing
out of the incorporate language and conduct Of fanatics
and knaves has penetrated the body polite and affected
the heahul current of its blood Everywhere around
indeed we see frequent and ncontestabe indications of
rancorous hostility between the inhabitants of common
country
And why should there be sentiment of unkindness-
why aught but the fraterna amy between the in
habiants of section of the country and another
Have we not a common inheritance Are we not all CO.
Of soil rich in all the productions of nature
Have joint propretorshp in glorious PAST, and
equal claims upon still brilliant FUTURE? Is it
from the very prodgaty of inheritance that seek
cause of quarrel? Has abundance made ungrateful
and the of expectations urged to reck
less extravaganza of conductf
We are admit that there exists at the South
institution domestic order repugnant to the present
feelings of portion of the northern population. Ii that
institution be founded other than philosophical princ
pies will languish and disappear with the inevitable
progress of mind; for nations and communities are no
independent of such progress than the tides of the
Of the influences above them. But whether the nsu
on be philosophical not, whether its destiny be to
flourish fade constitutional fact is inevitable
the North exercise interference Nth its details Il,
determination As ii exists it is guaranteed by the cons
tuition; and every patriotic citizen of the North will be
content TO leave it where the constitution has left it.
Under pctence of seeking to prevent its extension
and powerful organization has been perfected the
North to attempt its extinction where IL exists is
this organization which prevents legislation by insist
ing upon the adoption of its sectional and unconstitutional
policy 1t seeks to promote agitation in Congress
which shall upon the nation 1t is willing TO risk all
consequences likely result from the disorganizaton Of
the suspension of industry at home and
the loss of national prestige abroado further its unhoy
purpose Against such organization for such purposes
every who holds national honor and national interests
dear to his heart should exert himself 1t is tme indeed
be up and doing for these traitors to the constitution
extending necessarily their dangerous Vaccinations
