THE TRUE DOCTRINE,

lanx," the Plaquemine Uberville) Sentinel Of the
9Th inst has very excellent article. The arguments
advanced in favor of a union of the South tor the
sake Of the South, meet with our cordial concur
renee The necessity for such union is as apparent as
anything can possibly be. A mere glance at the
history of the past, the actuaes of the times that
are upon us, with the glimpses of what the future
will be that they afford us, should be sufficient to con
vince every of ordinary intelligence that we must
forget all past differences political OR otherwise, and
become united as one man, if we would not become
the victims of the Vaccinations of our Northern |
enemies.
Speaking of the jubilant displays of the Black Re-
pubcans and their earnest preparations for the great
struggle of 1850, stupendous SCALE the Sentinel
falls into an error of omission it is proper should be
corrected as practicable. The Sentinel says
that the hopes Of the Black Republicans, instead of
being Weakened are strengthened by the result Of
the late election Very true. There is no doubt of
it. They succeeded beyond their most sangune eH-
pectatons. 1t is but natural their success should
stimulate them to renewed effort. Victory was just
within reach when it eluded their grasp
In this connection we quote a sentence from our
contemporary and therein is the error alluded to- as
follows "They Ghe Black Republicans) calculate
and with great deal of FEASIBILITY, that at that
epoch (1SGO) they will have seventeen instead OF
sixteen free States Kansas is the State, that is to be-
which the editor fears, for reasons given, is ire
! trievably lost to the South Our apprehensons
take wider scope than those Of our Iberville cotem-
porary
We have never entertained much hope for Kansas,
as we have taken frequent occasion to express in
these columns. It will be admitted as free State
before the Presidential election of 1860. This wei
Of n1iynti
can be in the future we have just little doubt of
the admission of Nebraska and Minnesota, as free
States, within that period And Oregon would have
applied for admission into the Union ere this but for
the Indian troubles that have ragged within and
ravaged her borders, which would have rendered
State sovereignty worse than barren sceptre within
her grasp Instead of sereneen, therefore, the Black
Republicans may reasonably calculate upon twenty
free States-leaving the Territory of Washington
entirely out of the queston-in which to operate and
wage war of wanton aggression and Insult upon
the constitutional rights of the inhabitants of the
Southern States
| It is well to look peril straight in the face. Tt is
well to consider matters they are, not they ought
to be- nor as we would wish them to be. In no other
| way can the flower of safety be plucked from the
thorn of danger Taking, then, as basis that
twenty free States will vote at the next Presidential
election and looking at the results of the late cleo
