will venture to deny. In vain have the
Northern fanatics been warned of the conse-
| quences which may result from their inter-
meddlins but this seems but to serve as q
stimulus to further expressions. Of late, the
Southern newspapers have furnished US with
accounts of abolition incendiaries, who in va
rious ways have sought to infame the uncon-
trollable passions of the slaves and incite to
widespread massacre. From Mobile, Ala
osma, and Livingston, Georgia, and from other
southern cities, recently, such dangerous char.
acters have been properly exercised, like 80
many "spirits Of darkness" And in Virginia
and Maryland, among other States, the .'un-
foreground railroad has been put into opera.
ton, and the owners of slaves by this means
deprived Of that species of property which is
recognized and protected by law.
We should be unreasonable to expect the
South to remain passive under such treat
ment, especially as it does not interfere with
the institutions and statutes of the North, and.
according to the terms Of the federal compact,
is content that the State governments shall
q.
Would that the North could be induced to
pause in its reckless career against the South,
as alone by non. interference in the affairs of
the latter can the Union be preserved intact,
and the great principles for which it was form
ed promoted and perpetuated.
Governor Winston, of Ala bama, recently,
administered to Governor Ga rdner, q severe
rebuke, saying:
When you shall have amended your own
conduct, your precepts to others may be more
respected. Doubtless your want Of faithful
ness to the obligations of the compact of the
Union finds much relief in abuse of President
Pierce, for attempting to have the laws en-
forced and the rights maintained. He may
hnd consolation, however, under the crushing
weight OF your censure, in the hope that when
your fanaticism shall have accom- plished its
traitorous purpose, bis name shall be enrolled
With those Of the mighty dead who have been
willing to sacrifice self for the good of the
country. when the acts Of those now in au-
thorlty IN your State, shall only be remem-
bered to be execrated.'
And the Governor says in another part of
his reply to Gov. Gardner:
The people Of Alabama can properly an.
preclate your professions Of kindness and your
desire for a return Of fraternal spirit and
good Will, while assailiRg their Institutions
and mallgning their character. Alabama has
at no time, In any manner, interfered with the
affairs Of the people of Massachusetts by le-
gisiative resolves or otherwise With our civil
or moral obligations you have no concern; and
future Interference with either though accom-.
panied with expressions Of brotherly love, will
be resented as unprovoked Insult"
Are northern fanatics so deaf that they will
not hear; their hearts so hard that they can
not feel! Their appreciation of the Union so
Indifferent that they will insist on addition
tionally weakening the ties which unite The
sovereign States?
Kansas -Dissgreeable as must be the in
tslligence to the Republicans, whose fatten-
ing food is the blood of the slain in Kansas,
there is general impression among candid
and sane men, that the disorders in that
Territory are in q fair way of being Quoted,
owing TO the frmness of the Administration,
through Governor Geary and General Smith,
in whose discretion and abilities the strongest
confidence is reposed.
The st. Louis Repubi,can states that three
hundred and fifty citizens of Missouri had re.
Gently given up their military organization
and returned to that State, in obedience to
the proclamation of Governor Geary, and that
General Lane had fed from Lawrence with
the remainder Of his men and was in Ne
braska. Thus the unauthorize ed forces on both
sides OF the question which now agitates Kan
sas are being withdrawn, and the inha bitants
will soon be left to the enjoyment of their go
cial pursuits. The Republican adds:
g 1t is very gratifying to hear these tidings,
and to know that the violence which has so
long prevailed in Kansas is at an end Gov.
Geary began right, and like firm purpose to
preserve law and order, and to punish all of.
Tenders against it, will soon make life and
property as secure in Kansas as in any State
of the Union.''
The Presidents Visit to New Hampshire.
The military of several of the principal cities
are making arrangements to receive the Pres.
ident of the United States, on his return to
New Hampshire, and to extend to him the
compliment of an escort; and in this connec-
ton even political editors who dissent from
the policy Of his administration, speak in ap-
probation of the contemplated public demon
STATIONS in his honor. But as he intends to
proceed direct to Concord, by the usual mode
Of travel, We presume that no opportunity
will be afforded for his reception in the mode
suggested. As the object Of his trip is one of
private character merely, and but for a week
or two, 1t is not to be presumed that he will
care to be detained upon the way.
From our long residence in Washington. We
are aware Of the fact that no previous Presi.
dent, for the last twenty-five years, has en-
joyed less recreation from the affairs of State
than President Pierce. His devotion to the
duties Of his resposible station, and his close
business habits, are we'll known at the ma.
