We have always preferred to use some
such term as "the slave power" instead
of "the South" to designate the power
which, for the last thirty years, has
welded the forces Of party and OF gov
ernment in antagonism to freedom. For
we have been satisfied that this power
is not numerically indeptical with the
South, and may not truly represent tho
latter in Opinions and feeling. And yet
this distinction is too often neglected,
aud men talk of the South politically
just as they do of the North. But tho
North, which partly fights for freedom,
partly succumbs to slavery, and altogeth-
er attends to its own money making af-
fairs, is the same as the varied people of
sixteen sovereign States. But in the
South, which fights in resistless phal-
aDx for slavery, which leads parties by
the nose on his local interest, makes and
uumakes candidates, breaks through con-
tracts and legalizes tyranny and persecu.
