In the very sensible letter Of Mr. Kenneth
Rayner, published in our Fridays paper, strongly
urging the Fillmore men of Pennsylvania to join in
defeating Buchanan by giving their support to the
Union ticket, there occurs the following passage:
Ny deaf Sir, you have no idea how the South
ern people are worried aud bedevied by Loco
Focosm upon this everlasting subject OF Slavery
agitation. Many of your Northern people, your
orators ard your presses, do great inustice to the
South in charging upon the South a. a section pur-
pore to keep alive Slavery agitation. Ii is the Demo
cratic ary, ard they alone that keep the country in
this eternal turmoil and confusion about niggsrs,'
ringers The South as section is not to blame.
he conservative of the South the reliable friends
OF the Union at the South, those most deeply inter-
ested III the institution OF Slavery, wish for quiet and
peace this subject. They do not desire TO force
Slavery on any people against their consent. They d,
not wish 10 hazard either the Union their per-
soDa interests BY this endless disturbance and cOniu-
sion. They perfectly willing 20 rely for the prOtec
ton Of their rights upon the guarantees Of the COnstitu
ton, and those solemn, time-honored compromises,
which erected barriers, 10 prevent collisions between
the conflicting view. and interests Of different sections
And seain, toward the end of the letter:
Tie repeal of the Missouri Compromise rendered
TO he South a. a boon. In accepting Il, the South
acted with bad dgmont a. | conceive, but not with
wrongful intent Tie South did not ask for II. repeal
Tie Southern people were content 70 i've under ana
10 observe strictly its conditions. In this regard the
South il wroDged ard misrepcsco'ed by The majority
of tie pre..es aid orators Of the North They daily
charge rpou the South section, the breach Of faith
involved in the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise
and many Of them would visit their punishment upon
tie B nth. All tbs is wrong, unfair unjust, untrue.
II was the Democratic party thai did The deed-tis The
Demo cratic party that deserve their censnres s the
Democratic patty that should be visited with heirpun-
slment.
We have not the least doubt of the fact stated by
Mr.. Rayner that the " conservative men OF he
South the reliable friends Of the Union at the
South, those most deeply interested in the inssl
tuition Of Slavery wish for quiet and peace on
80 this subject" Of Slavery. Common sense teaches
that / cannot be otherwise. Conservative men,
friends Of the Union, men Of property can AVE
nothing TO gain by the Inauguration Of fraudulent
breaches Of solemn compromises, of gutta percha
and assassination, of intrusive voting, ballot-box
stufiDg. bogus legislation robbery, arson and mur-
der as ordinary party operations. Still, we put il.
TO Mr.. Rayrer to say--whst right lave these
conservative men Of the South" these L" friends
'of the Un;on," these right.feeliDg and weI-in
tending holders Of Save property, to complain that
in our political estimate Of the SOath as o whole,
We make no account of them, so long as they suffer
themselves to be ridden over, trampled under foot
and frightened into silence by q pack of noisy
greedy politicians, with a mob Of ignorant AL
