Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1856-10-07

This question is assuming q serious
ness which was never known before, in
the history ofthis Republic That con-
sentative element Of the people whose
influence is scarcely felt except in times
OF imminent national peril caused by one
or the other OF the extreme factions, il
now thoroughly aroused to q just appre-
citation 81 the condition Of affairs, and
the necessity 81 exer,ing its strength to
save the country from the rash acts OF
fanatics and traitors. These disunion
leaders disclaim any intention OF dis
'urbine tho Constitution, but they are
like the lunatic who was riding swiftly
in bis boat towards the foaming catar-
act OF Niagara, and when warned OF his
danger, cried out cha! ha! no danger.
for, though ! 70 over the Falls, I ahal,
ride safely and withou. harm" Every
act OF the Fremont party leaders and
presses tends but to one inevitable re-
suit. the dissolution Of the Union. The
immutable law 81 cause and efFec. must
be ignored 70 think otherwise for one
moment. Fremont was nominated by .
Section of the Union, by sixteen free
States, - an anti slavery candidate.
His constituents are alone in the non.
Slave holdinv States. His cabinet an
pointments. foreign ambassadors. navy
and army agents, and other oficers Nd
pointed by the Executive must naturally
be taken from among bic adherents 10
the North. The South will feel like con-
quered provinces, fifteen States Of tn
Union without voice in the national
election or the government.
The South will not
and ought not to submit to such an out
raReous usurpa:ion Of its rights BY the
Abolition Republican party. Fremont
can never Do President Of this Union 40
1t 10, uDlsss W mistake the temper aud
spirit OF our Southern brethren. Not
that shey would esis or the North would
gain or anybody but traitors would gain
anything by disunion. Such an event
wouli b . terrible catastrophe to each
OF the Slater, sad We feel disguised with
the cool sillsiny Of Greeley in calmly
weighing who will cutter, most BY disunion
and Who will suffer least. mao 20.

used every effort in the House Of Repre-
