The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-10-09

The States. We do not believe that any portlon
Of the South will submit to his Administration.
We are sure that large portions will not. Dis
union then, in event of his election, is In
evitable."
The same date, August 18th, we have another
lesson on the beauties of Slavery and the wick
edness of Freedom. Every one is an Abolition
list who is not in favor of Slavery. The Enqui-
rer says:
6. What our Schools should Teach as to Slavery.
Every school and college in the South should
teach that slave society il the common, natu-
raj, rightful, and normal state Of society. Any
doctrine short of this, contains abolition In the
germ. For, if it be not the rightful and natu-
raj form of society, it cannot last, and we should
prepare for its gradual but ultimate abolition.
They should also teach that no other form of
society is, in the general, right or expedient."
The Enquirer, in its rage, forgets its love of
the foreigners. The following passages in that
paper, of August 29th, would adorn the col
umns of the American Organ or the New York
Express:
"'Tis treason to cry, Peace peace! when
there is no peace There is, there can be, no
peace, no lasting union, between the South and
Black Republicanism. Either that political
heresy must be effectually and forever put down,
or disunion is inevitable. If come it must, the
sooner it comes the better; for our enemies
increase by the half million annually, whilst our
own numbers are almost stationary.
"A multitude like which the popuous North

South is greater, hungrier, more rapacious, than
Them The actors are the same. The prolific
Teuton or Gothic race, seeking homes and food,
on the one hand the descendants of Southern
Europeans attempting to repel them on the other.
The scene only changed from the banks of the
Rhine and Danube to those of the Ohio and
Missouri.
"'Forewarned forearmedl' We see the
numbers, the character, the designs, of our en-
emies. Let Us prepare to resist them, and drive
them back. To yield to them, to concede to
them, to subsidize them, as the Romans did,
will but increase their rapacity and encourage
their aggressions."
"The election of Mr. Buchanan may, and
probably will, originate a reaction in public
opinion, that will encourage the extension of
the conservative institution of Slavery, and the
extension of the British and Southern Euro
pean races, for the very purpose of stemming
and turning back the torrent of infidelity, ma
terialism, sensuality, agrarianisnl, and anarchy,
that threatens to overwhem us from the pro-
life hive of Northern Europe.
The election of Mr.. Buchanan would be
reactionary movement in favor of Slavery and
conservatism; the election of Fremont, certain
and immediate disunion. The election of Fill
more would subsidize the Barbarians, by yield
ing them the lands north of thirtysix thirty,
increase their numbers and their rapacity, and
only postpone disunion to a period when it
would be more perilous than at present"
More disunion and treason from the same
issue:
"Let the South present compact and undi.
vided front. Let her show to the Barbarians
that her sparse population offers little hopes of
plumber; her military and selfreliant habits,
and her mountain retreats, little prospects of
victory and her firm union and devoted reso-
luton, no chances of conquest. Let her. if pos
sible, detach Pennsylvania and Southern Ohio,
Southern Indiana, and Southern Illinois, from
the North, and make the highlands between
the Ohio and the Lakes the dividing line. Let
the South treat with California, and, if neces-
sary, ally herself with Russia, with Cuba, and
Brazil.
"a common danger from without, and
common necessity Slavery within, will be sure
to make the South great, a united, a vigilant,
and a warlike people. Outside pressure and
inside necessity are the only parents of true
national greatness"
A reasonable threat, August 3Oth:
"The issue is simply this: is the House of
the supreme power in the Gov
eminent, and exempt from all the limitations
of the Constitution? If not, then the conduct
of the Black Republican Party is revolutionary,
and their resistance to the operations of Gov.
ernm ent should be overcome, if necessary, by
an application of force. A battalion of ma.
rines would drive them into the. Potomac in ff-
teen minutes"
The organ Of the Southern Democracy for
bids the repeal of the piratical Kansas code, as
will be seen in the following, from the same is
sue. This ground was taken during the session
of Congress, by the Enquirer, in company with
Senator Mason of the same State. They werer
obeyed:
off to this indignant inquiry the reader
would have a reply, let him hearken to the
shout of exultation with which Weller's and
Cayton's and Bells, and Crttenden's denuncia-
tons of the Kansas laws are greeted by the
Black Republican Party. They detect symp-
toms of irresolution and preparations for re-
treat among the champions of the Constitution.
They know that the repeal of the laws of Kan
sas, at this conjuncture will be a concession to
their obstinacy and bride to their fanaticism
and they may well indulge in a shout of anti
cipated triumph.
"The trimmers of the Senate, Clayton, Bell,
Crittenden, and their confederates, deceive
themselves if they think the people of the
South do not understand the issue before the
country. 1t is too plain for instrumentation.
Neither the propriety nor the enormity of the
Kansas laws is involved in the controversy.
They may be as bad as Mr.. Clayton represents
them, and yet not justify revolution in the
House of Representatives.
And this compromise will imply an &C.
of the principle of the Black
Republican proviso-a surrender to their arbi-
trary and unconstitutional demands, and an &C.
quiescence in all the consequences of 80 revolu.
tionary a measure. 1t is for this reason that
we deprecate the least concession on the part
of the champions of the Constitution in the
Senate, that we denounce every overture for
and urge eternal resistance to the
of a Black Republican House
Of Representatives"
The organ of Virginia Democracy boasts
Of the aristocratic character of Southern insti.
'utions. See Enquirer of Sept. g.:
1t is not hatred of Slavery, it is not sympa-
Thy for the negro, which kindles the resentment
and enthusiasm of the Black Republican psrty.
1t is envy Of the ease and af1uence of the South.
ern gentleman, and jealousy of the aristocratic
character of our social system, which consti
tute the sentiment of Abolitionism."
On September 9th we have another boast of
the superiority of slave society, and another
