En- depit des hommes d'Etat qui ont cher
che maintenir l'accord entire le Nord ct le
Sud, les abolitionistes ont reussi fomenter
entire les deux sections du pays une hostilite
qui s'envenlme chaque jour davantage, ct
don't il est difficie de prevoir toutes les con-
sequences. Deja, par lie fait des abolitio-
nistes, la guerre civile commence au Kan
sas, ct bien loin de sapaiser. cette guerre me-
mace de devenir encore plus sanglante 81
la guerre civile reste renfermee dams les H.
mites du Kansas, ce sera toujours un grand
maiheur, mais don't les efets seront restreints
Mais dars letat Transportation OH sont les
esprlts, IL est blen craindre que la guerre
clvle ne s'etende au-dela du Kansas. ST
Pom suppose que les aboltionistes reussissent
a propager ces discordes ntestines, qui peut
en- caieuler les suites 81 lie Sud cedait sur
la question de ce territoire, il renoncerait par
la meme q ses drolts, ct Sc perdrait sans res
source sill maintient ses droits iuvolable-
ment, CONNIE il doit lie faire, Ia consequence
ne sera-t-ele pas une separation inevitable
du Nord ct du Sud? On volt par Ia dams
quelle position les abolitionistes ont place le
pays.
Ce quill y a de pire en- tout celia, c'est que
lie NAL son origine au sein meme du Con-
gres. Les abolitionistes les plus forcenes ont
envahi le capitole sous la protection des
Know -Nothlngs c'est de Ia que partent ces
discours incendiaires qui produisent des effets
dautant plus deplorables que ceux qui les
font entendre parlent CONNIE etant les elus
de leurs eoncitoyens.
Mais il est juste de dire que la defense est
a l'attaque, LIE Sud compte
un bon nombre d'habiles ct genereux defen-
seuss. Nous en- avons deja cite plusieurs
qui ont traite avcc talent la question du Kan
sas, cette question etant lie terrain sur le-
quel la lutte est engagee. A ces noms nous
devons ajouter celui de NJ. Brown, du Missis-
sipi, qui prononce au Senat, lie % aTril, un
discours remarquable de logique ct oh les
droits du Sud sont pleinement venges, en-
meme temps que lie droit du Kansas est clai-
rement etabli. Nous esperons que malgre
fetervescence des passions, la voix des patri-
otes finlra par etre ecoutee ct par prevaloir
sur les clameurs des mauvais citoyens

When, bark chanting for the dead
ssBelOw her window creepeth.

That vast Florential pallaee,
Dead is the corpse within its shroud

Deaf as the little babe above

In mystery's awful maze.

Expands the ohurch's portal,
Mid smoking brands the funeral march
Leads in those relies mortal.

The mother hears them singing,
While from the bier up to the bed,
Rise fumes Of incense swinging.
Herself yet trembling on the verge
OF scarce escaped dsnger,
A shudder takes her at the dirge
From Death, the great all.changer.
And when the requiem 8 falling sighs
Expire along the distance,
She turneth where her newborn lies
To test its warm existence.
By touch, and sight, and fine edged ear,
TO certify its thriving,
Then ory, 20 Death go with that bier,
Aud leave this life surviving"
Poormother look for higher things!
To warnings rest beholden
All human souls are born with wings
Which but while are folden.
They sink or soar as God sees right,
When grown to full extension,
Pray, when arrives her hour of flight
The summons be ascension.
