sEcTIoNALisM.-In the speech of the "straight
Wing" Benjamin Of La, in the Senate, on Friday
last, announcing his determination to act hereaf-
ter with the border rufian Democracy, is the
following paragraph;
1.-THE South has no longer any compromise to
oher or accept, She would adhere to the Consti-
tuition, and il its provisions be violated to h r
INJURY: then she could calmly but res0lely, 10Th
dFaU Prom Tie compact and obligations, which she
Is expected scrupulously to fulfil, and from all
the Dement'S OF which she is 80 ANONYMOUSLY re
pulsed"
Nowwe will suppose that Free State Senator
had made use Of precisely the same words, only
substituting the word "North" for "South. -
what howl Of indignation would have gone up
from every Southern throat. We never should
have heard the last Of It. The ire Of the Northern
funkies Of the administration would have over
flown all bounds. "Disunionism," Carlson.
snism, BLACK Republicanism, . Qualification"
&C., would have been the mildest Of the terms
used to give vent 20 their patriotism" But it
is all well enough for Southern statesmen, from
their high places in the Senate, to out Garrison
Garrison himself in their disunion sentiments
And to appease these Southern fanatics" we
must crouch down upon all fours, and submit to
any outrage they may sec fit 20 inaict, Just TO
"sayC the Union" Nobody but Southern men
have any rightto say anything against the Con.
StitutiOn, or any Of the laws enacted under it.

REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The Charles
ton, Is c. Standard, following the wake of 9TH
er southern administration journals, is out for
revival of the African Slave Trade. 1t says:
''If we must have territory let us have
slaves to cultivate it; or if it be too offensive
to the tastes of this enlightened age, let us
have leave to live within that which we pos
sess, and abandoning the race after q contin-
ually vanishing horizon, let us fortify our
selves within our present limits, and show TO
the world what slavery can do when its ef-
forts are extended to higher objects than
merely extending frontier. In either eUent
there loiH be necessity for the South to de-
nasa modification Of its present relations to
the general government, and tn doing this zoe
cannot help oafessiag that it acere more manly
to say at once that the RESTRICTIONS UPON THE
SLAVE TRADE SHALL BE REMOVED; that if it be
a virtue not to purchase slaves from the i'm
porter, we will practice it without the control
of Congress, and if WESTERN MEN MUST
HAVE SLAVES FOR THE CULTIVA-
TION OF THE SOIL, THAT THEY MAY
TA KE THEM UNBRIDLED AS DID OUR
FATHERS, AND NOT HAVE LEAVE TO
DRAG THEM FROM THE OLDER
STATES which they have assisted in improv-
ing, and where they have secured the right
ofan enduring home.''

DEMOCRATIC AUTHoRIrY.-Th Detroit Free
Press is as orthodox Democratic journal as
any in the country, not excepting the Boston
Post. The administration journals are fond of
quoting it, but we do not perceive that they
have taken any portion of its comments upon
President Pierces course towards Kanzas.-
We give a tit. bit from it:
"But the President should pause long be-
fore treating as reasonable instruction the
action of those inhabitants of Kanzas who
deny and repudiate the binding authority of
the laws of the Missouri Kanzas Legislature.
For, in our humble opinion, people that
would not be inclined to rebel against the
acts of legislature forced upon them by fraud
and violence, would be ua,oorthy the name of
Americans. If there was ever Unsuitable
cause for popular revolution against usurp-
ing aud obnoxious government, the cause has
eriSted IN KanzaS."
