INDIANoPoLIs Ind, July 80, 1856
MEssRs. EDrToRs Il have concluded to address
you upon the subject of politics, hoping what may
say will be interesting to you and your many read
ers in my native State.
1t is important for the people of the South to
know that Mr.. Fillmore has been repudiated in the
North, and that abOitOnism has absorbed and swal-
lowed up nearly all the Know NOthings of the free
States The great contest, SD far the North is
concerned, is TO be between the national Democracy
and the old line Wings on the hand and the
black Republicans on the other Henceforth the
North is to be Democratic or abolition. If the
tional men of the North fail in this contest and Free
mont is elected President, may bid farewell to
the rights of the people of the South and the Union.
The great battle for State equality, the Constitution
and the Union, is not to be fought in the South, but
in the North Yes, it is to be fought in the North
between the national Democracy on the one hand,
and wild fanatica aboltionism the other. If the
black Republicans, from motives of sectional hatred
succeed in electiDg Mr. Fremont the South may pre-
pare for the worst yea, let her prepare to submit
or for separation and for | no alarmist
but allow me to express the opinion that i'm my ud,
ment, the seeds of hatred and of dscerd are now
being sown in the American garden, which will, ,
sooner or later be the means of destroying our go
rious and happy Union.
1t is an undeniable fact that there exists at this
time, as deep seated hatred in the minds Of nearly
one half of the people of the North against the
South and her institutions, as there existed at
any period between this country and any foreign
power; and such being the case l can't see how so
much pent up malice, (Which is increasing every
day,) is to escape be allayed without eruptions
and outbreaks of the most fearful character. 1t
seems that the Constitution which guarantees equal
rights and privileges to the citizens of all parts of
the Union is to be longer regarded, but is to be
tramped under foot under the plea of extending
the borders of freedom !" and staying "Southern
aggressons" Strange as it may appear, still it is
none the less true, that large portion of the Nor
thern people, especially the abo!itionsts have per
suaded themselves into the belief that the Consttu-
ton made expressly and solely for the purpose
of extending the borders of freedom and for pro-
tecting the rights and interests of free Northern
men alone-hence they contend that freedom is
national and slavery is sectional that all the ter
ritores belong to the people of the North.
If such men can only get control of the federal
government their first act, in all probability, would
be to pass law declaring in substance-First, That
all the national territories belong to the saints
Secondly, that they (the majority the saints
Thirdly, that there saints South of Mason
and Dixons line Such in brief would be the ex.
tent of their charity.
1t may be we'll here to state that there are two
kinds of abolitionsts First there arc the Greeley
and Seward ENTHUSIASTICALLY, the Know Moth
ing sectional abolitionists The first of these loves
negroes and believes in the unity and equality of the
human race Such men are hard to please and arc
such would use the. flag Of the Union for wind
ing sheet for defunct negro. The latter what
may be called Know Nothing abolitionists, who des
