Fremont and Dayton have no Electoral ticket in
the slaveholdng States, will they have. They
are utterly sectional in their character They stand
upon platform which makes them and their sup
porters the mortal enemies Of ersry man, aconaan and
child in the Southern States We regard them as
personal. mortal enemies. If they should succeed
in this contest, as We do not believe they will, the
result will be separation Of the States. No human
pover can prevent it. If some Of the Southern
States should be disposed to wait and see what the
wolf would do with the lamb, or the hawk with the
dove others will not,-South Carolina, Alabama,
and Georgia, not to include Virginia, would place
themselves in such attitude at once to sever
existing political relations. And then what would
Fremont and the vultures Of the Times, the Tribune,
and the Herald do! Whip us IN? Perhaps they
would attempt to send troops but there are enough
tue men in the free States to meet aud extermnate
the troops and their traitor leaders their own
ground. Dissolve the Union by tie act of the North,
and the North would in less than six months, 6y ats
srn oct. md ty srsaz c1 its judgment, restore
again Kit could The position OF the South is entirely
defensive. Our people ask only their Constitutional
ights and to be let alone. All they expect in Kan
SIS is fair play and The prevalence of law. The
SJuthern people, people, are 10 more RESPONSE
bic for the action of the Mssourans in Kansas than
tie people of the North are as eole, for the &C
ton of the emissares and agents of the Emigrant
Aid Society," True, our synpathies with the
pro-slavery men, and We trust they may succeed IN
making Kansas slave State; but we denounce no
Northern man who honestly wishes to make Kansas
free State. Let tie people Of the Territory, sohen
hey come to form State Constitution, decide this
question for Themselves oithout let hindrance from
aaq quarter. Let the principle of the Kansas-Ne
traska act be fairly carried out, and the South will
not complain. Why, what is the great object of
that act? 1t says in substance to Congress and the
States this The subject of slavery is one over
which Congress has control. Let Massachusetts
and North Carolina be at peace. Let Massachusetts,
and let North Carolina 60 to Kansas and settle the
Territory, taking with them such property as is rec
ognzed in the Constitution, or any property they
may choose to take and let the people of the Terri
ish prohibit slavery TO them may seem best
That is the sprit-that is the object Of the Kansas
Nebraska act. But Fremont and his supporters say
no. They insist on restoration of the Missouri
line and afterwards on the Wilmot Proyso for all
territory south of that line. They insist on the use
Of all the powers OF the federal government to limit
slavery, ard thereby destroy it. They denounce
the institution curse and they affect to regard
its supporters as crimnals-as their interiors social
and politically. They would repeal the fugitive
slave law, leaving Southern protection against
kidnappers and man-stealers. They would create
insurrection and servile war in the South-they
would put the torch to our dwellings and the knife
to our throats. They are therefore, our enemies
and they are the enemies of the Constitution and
the Union. Their triumph would be the beginning
ofevs and caamities such as have never been known
In this country.l
