CRUsHING REBELLION.

CRIsHING REBELLION
TIE oligarchy in the South are quick to follow
the lead Of ths gentlemen in the Senste, who pro-
pose to "subdue the North. The Richmond Tn
ouirer already talks in ordy strain Of the "rebel
"lion in Kansas" which it declares must be put
down, with confidence marked and tone IS
resoute as characterized the edcts OF the British
Government during our Revolution. Lord North
thought and spoke the same way OF the Yankees
hen they tumbled the tea into the docks OF Boston
harbor He, too, called the people who chose not
to be imposed upon, "rebels," and said the
"rebellion" must be crushed. There ia striking
similarity too in the mode Of putting down the
rebels, proposed by the Black Olgarchy and BY
their English prototypes 1t is to set the people by
the ears among themselves. The British Cabinet
proposed to arm the Indians and Tories and let
them subdue the Wings of the Revolution. The
slave oligarchy through The Enquirer propose that
the Northern doughfaces shall do the fighting ne
cessary for the intended subsection Of the
Freemen of Kansas The Enquirer says
that Mr. Pierce and Mr. Douglas got up the Kan
sas war, and that they should fight it OUT and it
expresses it's confidence that by the aid Of the
isiing army aided by the conservative (Doughface)
population of the North, the insurgents can be
quelled With an owl-like demeanor as grave as
ii is amusing The Enquirer suggests that until
this force s found insufficient the South should
fold their arms, prepare for the "eIigencies
"of selfdcfense," which means, we suppose, to
watch their colored population, and wait the re-
suit in perfect independence and commanding
dignity" This delightful prospect of civil war
in behalf Of Slavery among the people of the Free
States is cOoy suggested with a most charming
naIv6te. The Enquirer leansupon its New-England
champions-Pierce, Douglas, Gushing & Co.
with refreshing simplicity, and thinks there is no
need, from present appearances, Of having the
South "counted in in the anticipated fight But
if worst comes to worst, then the Oligarchy is to
come to the rescue and play the part of Blucher at
Waterloo of the Free States.
Now we confess that such stuff as this
ia too much for our patience. These ran.
pant threateners of the public peace, these
vaiDgoriOus boosters of all the pluck and
all the chivalry of the nation, sneakingly pro-
pose to plunge the Northern people into inter-
necne strife, upon their own territory, on the
Slavery question, and to simply stand BY and hound
on the conflict. The cowardice and malignity of
this proposition need no Characterization. They
can excite no emotions but those of disgust and
contempt Yet we do not doubt that plenty of
fools can be found at the South who believe that
the sane tools who were used to do the dirty
work Of Slavery in the Nebraska business can be
made to stand up in the North and fight against
Freedom at the bidding Of the shareholders. All
such had better dismiss this notion at once. The
DOughface does not fight He is very soft

be relied on for any kind Of business, but not
for any manly act. He il good at henroost, but he

oft The idea Of that matchless trinity Of New
England renegades-Pierce, Douglas and Cushing
heading coup d'tt0t against Freedom in Kansas,
or any where else in the Free States, with the
show Of hope Of success, is unspeakably absurd.
If they should ever dare to venture on the rash
experiment, q whirlwipd would rise in the Free
States that would sweep them and their followers
among like withered leaves in storm. The En-.

Freedom in Kansas will not be made by the Ne.

contingent events that will not OCCUR. The
