Repuaiased ~ their Masters.
Among tho noticeable signs Of the times,
| Il the recent debate in the United States Senate
on Kansas affairs, in which three Southern SEN
| asors participated Messrs Cri,.enden, Bell and
Clayton, and Indicated pretty clearly their dis
gust At Northern dirt eating. They indicated,
in pretty clear terms, their disapprobation OF
the outrageous proceedings in Kansas BY the
General Government, to which Northern Loco
focoism has lent its appreciation and blandest
smiles As the Democracy are directed entirely
by the South, having no win of right and wrong,
save that indicated by the frowns or smiles Of
their well approved good masters, the cotton
barons, and as these cotton barons are evidently
growing heartily ashamed and greatly scandal
lied BY the disgraceful doings of their mercena-
ry allies, we may look for little reaction. The
Oligarchy are not desirous to have their cause
ruined and hopelessly defeated by the scandal
ous conduct Of their pimps and toadies. Atho'
northern demagogues may declare, with becom-
ing sanctity, that they can find nothing to DIS
approve in the dark and bloody catalogue of Of
fetal plunderings, burnings and murderings IN
Kansas-Although corrupt Northern party
and press, can easily approve and enforce an
Aigerine code of laws, and cry treason against
every man who is not willing to part with his
civil and political rights-yet Southern men can
speak of these doings and these accursed lswsas
they deserve! They are characterizing them
as q disgrace to us, Christian nation, claiming,
at least partial civilization. We hail this as
sign Of returning reason on the part of the
South. @
There is a reaction coming. The country
is about to throw off the incubus Of imbecility
and corruption which has weighed it down for
two years. The public mind--public opinion,
before which nothing can stand-wili soon free
itself from the fears and alarms which have kept
I'D constant excitement, and arrayed US in con-
tending sections. The leaders of the Black
Democracy, like the swine into which the unclean
spirit entered are blindly rushing on to certain
destruction, and perpetual nfamy Mr. Buchan-
an has joined. the head-long, break-neck CROWD,
determined to be more of tool than Pierce, and
more of a fllibuster and rowdy than Douglas.
But we rejoice to see the South itself, waking up
to the consequences that must follow. They
foresee the storm. They have deciphered the
hand writing upon the wall, and would redeem
themselves from the infamy, and their chattles
from the wreck, that must follow.
Should the Union outlive this colored conspi-
racy and civil war be prevented, what will be the
verdict Of future generations What will the
historian say of the conspiracy and the consp''
rators-of Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan, who
thought thus to get into the Presidential Chairs
OF the Colonels, Captains, Lieutenants and Cor-
porals of the negro driving party, who have BE-
trayed their party, their country and their God
for plunder9 Howtheir crewd dabsnrdites--their
monstrous falsehoods- Internal practices
will appear to ounprejudiced andintelligent minds,
when the smoke and excitement of the hour shall
pass away! 49,.
That the South are becoming ashamed OF
the doughfaces is one of the signs Of the times.
