no alarmi-t- and are a. lNtle disposed TO inspire
Won with uninany fears, a. TO be shaken by them
ourselves The dangers of which we speak are not
underlined shadows, floating in the far-of horizon OF
tie future. They are substantial thngs-obiects OF
sense-and we must deal with them. Washington
saw them more than half century ago and in the
last solemn act of hi. public life, warned bis country
men against them. They have alarmed the patriot
lem Of latter times and IN 1899 statesman OF New
X.
il more deeply deplored than ever, addressed his fcl
low-c.tiZens on the subject.
Here follow two extracts from Sllas Wright ard
Gen. Jackson.
Let Us heed these impressive lessons OF patriotism,
and oppose those who invite Us to engage with them
in this new Anti-Slavery crusade. Reject with abhOr
renee the reasonable faacy that sectional strife i
either wise, patriotic necessary Leaye the people
of the Territories to settle their policy in regard TO
slavery Extend to them every needed protection for
the free and fair exercise Of their choice, but 90 no
further. All rational men concede-even Anti.Savery
Republicansm besitates 10 deny-that when they are
admitted a. States, their right 10 establish abolish
the institution will become perfect, and power Oh
earth can question their decision. If they are admitted
to-day with an Anti-Savery Constitution, they may
change il tomorrow without consulting our wishes;
and should Congress attempt TO prevent their doing So
it would BE- an invasion of sovereignty, which might
be lawfully resisted by force of arms. Or should
they come into the Union with Constitution winch
prescribes no hne of policy on this subject, but
leaves it to be settled by State legislation after
ward, the result will be the Aud so they
will have their own way at last as we have had ours
Why not then abstain at once from all inermedding
and stop useless agitation! We believe the people
are tired Of it. and desire peace. Ii promises no good
-none whatever but only evil, and that continually
evil i'll our national councils, in the different States, IN
churches and everywhere. Other and dIrer forms OF
evil will follow, if we persist IN urging Congress TO act
on theories at ar alike with the Constitution and COM
mon sense Can we not afford to rely the unwrit-
ten but steady laws of population in the disposition OF
questions of this kind Have we Travelled so far away
from Democracy that dare not trust the people Of
the Territories with the management of any of their
own affairs l. faith TO be placed in the instincts
and interests of intelligent men, in anything except
the cOercive powers of Government Or do we really
believe that all good must to US, If at all, through
acts of Congress- and that duties have no existence
or validity until prescribed by statute This the creed
of Anti-Savery RepubGcanism-not of the Democratic
party.
We have forbome TO speak of a third ass of men
Wh bay hee m
and true Office of government We mean those who
within the last year two, organized themselves into
political party TO enforce the single virtue of Tenn
perance, leaving the other virtues to SHIFT for them
selves. After urging State Legislature to dsre-
gard the Constitution by passing law in violation OF
ia law the authorship of which none OF IT'S followers
are willing to avow-it has quietly subsded, along
with the waning remnant of the old Abolition party,
into the ranks Of Anti-Savery Republication. Both
will be remembered hereafter for their good Intentions
their bad deeds and their ignOble end
